Spending My Mega Millions

Wednesday I spent the day thinking about how to spend the $325 million I'm about to win through the Mega Millions Jackpot.

Click here to see how I'll spend the first $30 million or so...

It's really a lump sum of $170 million  OR

$750,000 a year for 26 years

So here's how it goes for me- since we all think about this every so often.

I take the lump sum- invest most & live off the interest.

Right away I...

 buy a $5-10 million beachfront home in Laguna

 buy a $3 million home in Houston

 $3 million home in Scottsdale

 $3 million 'family compound' (always liked the sound of that) - $1 million to travel in luxury to a handful of vacation destinations to pick the one to invest in.

Interior designers furnish each home $2 million per property

$15 million for my family ($5 for sister - $10 for parents)

$15 million for Andrew's family

I would completely fund a no-kill shelter - pay for construction, and start-up costs.

that leaves $100 plus million to earn interest
