When You Win PB or Mega Lottey

With all that money why put myself through the stress of running a business?

Stock shelves or gather carts a few times/week or whatever and go home.

Is it stressful if you're not really risking anything running it?

That was kind of my point. You'd for the most part be paying someone else to run your business, and coming in whenever you felt like it to keep busy. If it loses a little money, who cares?

Nitpicking here but instead taking a menial job that could take away from someone who might need the job and find a few charities to donate your time.

Better yet, do what my dad does. Works part time at a golf course as a Marshal. He gets free golf as a benefit.

Running a business is probably fun if profit is not an objective.

Getting everything organized, setting all that up sounds pretty stressful for someone who's never run a business.

Vs. just doing something simple that I can quit any time?

A billionaire holding out for that free golf. Gotta love it.

Retirees often act as tour guides for free camping at parks and such.

The thought of going to run cashier at Fareway after winning $500M after taxes is absolutely hilarious.

Anyone want to do a serious pact? I’ll give 500k to anyone if I win that will give me 500k if they win. Because you just never ******* know.

I'll do 16000 a year until one of us dies. The maximum non taxable gift. This can/will be adjusted for inflation.

Billionaire taking an entry level job away from some poor kid, good grief boomer.

Or, build you own golf course and don't allow anyone else on it.

I bought 5, meant to buy the last two drawings but didn't feel like leaving the house.

I'd buy a party house in Ames and move out of state somewhere warmer as people wouldn't leave you alone. 15-20 mil beach house with full indoor basketball, soccer, bowling facilities.

Probably drop half in S&P and then 20% venture capitaling. I would quit the job and code up people's ideas and they give me a stake.

Help friemds and family with the rest, find some causes to get behind.

I would buy 20 TB2’s for Ukraine. Hopefully that would pay off with never having to buy a beer in Kiev when I travel to Europe during the late spring.

Would make an interesting documentary. Like roll up in your lambo and then when you wheel someone’s cart out to their car you can just point at the Lambo and ask the customer if they know who’s car that is.

Invest the money yearly- take over time payout so do not have to worry about what the market does - can live pretty comfortably on 50 mil a year. Make sure family is taken care of.

Quit Job day one - become mentor at Boys & Girls Club (or similar org) - make sure all needy / worthy kids have education (college / JC / trades) paid for. help with local schools.

 

[Cyforce]

I wouldn’t quit work either, gotta keep those benefits lol.

I wouldn't quit, I'd just never show up again.

Right? You have enough money to do absolutely anything you want and you choose stocking shelves and gathering carts?

 

[NWICY]

I'll start a bunch of businesses that lose money every year pay myself a low salary (earned income) - I'll be the first billionaire to get the Earned Income Credit every year after becoming a billionaire.

Damn you must have a good accountant to make that work
