Your 300 Million Dollars

<< < (15/22) > >>

Zayras:
First: build the best computer I could possibly have (SSDs, i7 Extreme, WC, etc) with ATI cards just for EyeInfinity Technology (yes I want 6 goddamn monitors with 2560x1600 resolution) 7K+
Second: buy myself a nice car, probably a customized (paint job and all) BMW and Nissan Skyline R34 GTR  200K+
Third: build a moderately large house from the ground up with a large backyard and I liked the idea of putting several 100/100 lines together... I'd have to have rooms dedicated to gaming, movies/anime (via a nice high res projector), and a work/study room 2-3MIL?
Fourth: build a server (don't know how much I'd have to figure out how to build one first lol)
Fifth: get my direct family members a nice house and 25MIL split evenly between them, my dad a nice truck
Sixth: invest 25MIL in a tech company (low risk)
Seventh: pay for college and study several things 300K
Eighth: donate 7MIL to my choice of charities
Ninth: open my own online computer hardware/mod retail store... that way I could have all the parts I wanted and make money off them, also advertising Total 50MIL
Tenth: awesome audio system throughout various rooms in the house is a must ~35K
Finally bank the rest (<200mil)/give some to close friends and relatives, donate to charities occasionally

Gawd now I wants 300 million dollars  >:(

sanguis:
Step 1: Buy a large amount of land roughly two hours out of the city centre. (roughly $20 million)

Step 2: Use $200 Million to secure funding (Bank Loans/IPO's/Private or Corporate Funding).

Step 3: Use the funding to build state-of-the-art/Eco-Friendly/Carbon Neutral housing. In this mini-city each house will have as small a foot-print as possible (Carbon/Energy/Economical/Environmental/etc), there will also be community sporting and recreation facilities, food greenhouses, schools and universities, medical facilities. The mini-city will be as self-contained as possible. Aim for a final population of around 250,000.

Step 4: Rent out the houses and allow private industry to rent out offices and facilities. Use this money to pay off the funding as smartly as possible.

Step 5: Use the continued profits to find disadvantaged members of society and allow them access, particularly to the educational and medical facilities.

Step 6: Pick a second city and rinse and repeat. Possibly aim for each subsequent mini-city to have a larger population.

From that $300 million, roughly $150m is going to taxes, so hire an accountant to do the taxes on it and help manage the money. Hire a second accountant to check the work of the first to make sure he is not stealing. Next, help out various family members and choice friends get houses, rainy day funds, etc. (should not be more than $10m to make sure that they never have to work). Buy a house, set aside enough money to complete my education, get enough money squirrelled away to allow me to live another 30-40 years of a upper middle class life style without the need to work (in case stuff fails). I should have about $100m left. I would complete my education to a PhD, use my knowledge of technology to make some smart investments in the tech sector, and watch as I completely screw up my investments (I am getting a degree in CS, not business). Luckily I will still have enough to live comfortably until retirement and a good education to get a good job.
