What would you do with $800,000,000?

[Charger RT]

Legally change my name. 
Move to another state.
Claim prize.
Move.
Change name back.
Blend in among the uber wealthy until the coast is clear.

My wife wouldn't put up the hookers, so, I may have to buy a divorce.

I didn't think about the change the name thing. I like that. Change my hair color and shave too.

[Lennard]

I bought ten tickets today so we'll see.

Tons of lottery winners end up broke within a few years.  


It's a predictable story.  

The jackpot only comes once.  It's not a new yearly income.  
But the property taxes & lawyers & divorce/child payments are permanent new bills.
     

[Kern Dog]

I'd buy ad time to completely destroy the chances of a certain female politician.   

[Mopar Nut]

I would buy a new U.S. president and sell the other one.

[Mike DC]

 
$255m probably won't buy an election. 

But I like the idea.   

[skip68]

With that kind of money you can live off the interest alone.  You'd have to just be smart and don't live beyond your means.  
That's why so many musicians and actor's run into money trouble.  Eventually the large money checks stop coming in and the lifestyle doesn't stop.  
If you had $100 million you can't go out and spend half on a house.  The taxes, maintenance, utilities and other miscellaneous things will leave you broke in 20 years give or take.  
If I had $400 million I'd spend up to 5% ($20million) on an estate.
The interest alone on the rest could support my estate and lifestyle.  

[stripedelete]

Who needs interest?   225 million is 4.5 million per year for 50 years.

[jaak]

1. Buy a new Charger Hellcat.
2. Find/buy a 69 C500, F8 Green, of course.

After that 

[skip68]

Most people that get large sums of money such as inheritance or other (lottery) tend to stop buying clothes at Wal-Mart.    
Vacations are no longer RV camping in a campground.   
They are more likely to be long excursions around the world, vacation homes and expensive cars and yachts.   

[Mike DC]

Interest earnings will just keep pace with inflation.  If you're lucky.

It's gonna take more than that to hold onto the original amount of wealth you started with. 

[JT01]

HUGE!!!!!! car collection

[myk]

1. Send all 4 cars to Gas Monkey Garage for their treatment.
2. Buy a building big enough to store the 4 cars and their parts.
3. Buy a 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 as a daily driver.  
4. Guitar lessons.  
5. Drown myself in top shelf, mouth watering escorts/call girls.

That is all...

[polywideblock]

once you started splashing cash you won't have to worry about callgirls/ escorts   

   the "other "breed of female will be all over you , just look at Hugh   Hefner or any other millionaire "old guy " don't see to many of them alone unless by choice   

[skip68]

I wanna take this famous hot chick out on a date.

I wouldn't flash it around per se, I would just become a super regular client of a "reputable"  escort service.  I would also avoid non-escort women for the rest of my life for obvious reasons.  What can I say, I'm a simple man lol...

[Mike DC]

  
The jackpot is winding up near a billion now.


Wasn't there some clause in the Patriot Act that makes you exempt from all US laws once you get that rich?  
             

[Chad L. Magee]

I would live my life primarily as I do now....

[Old Moparz]

After paying a few bills & getting the cars done I'd buy a small brewery, rename it & set up a shuttle from my house to the brewery.

if your looking for a house

[ITSA426]

I might buy lottery tickets to win $1.3 billion.  All you have to do is buy one of each possible combination, and hope no one else lucks into a winning ticket so you don't have to share.

Yeah, but you have to let Heff live in it until he dies.

[chargerman69]

I read that too
Does that mean the bunnys too

[Mike DC]

   
Playboy switches to non-nude, and now is selling the Mansion while Hef is still living in it (described in the article as "in a state of disrepair")?  This picture doesn't bode well for Hef and the magazine. 

[r4daytona]

1. hire body guards and disconnect my phone
2. buy every Hemi car I could find
3. buy the rare coins I've always wanted
4. buy the playboy mansion and the girls in it for my summer home
5. 4 chicks from the above mentioned property
6. Have a huge party with all my friends and people that pretend to be my friends, hire Don Rickles insult the pretenders and have the bodyguards kick them out
7. buy a nuclear missile silo for the coming apocalypse, store the coins, cars, bodyguards and a new batch of girls - hey, I'm single

that's it for now anyway
