Actually, if you had good money manager you should more than double that amount.
When it comes to finances I always go conservative. Chances are that yeah, we could live off a lot more than that especially with decent investments and good money management (which we'd probably do), but at the base of the base levels, 10M should support my wife and I for the rest of our life with 83k each assuming no investing or a 0 return. Given how my wife's job has been treating her, If she never had to work again she'd be a happy woman.

Pay off my debt and my debt of my family. Donate a good chunk to my church. Then learn to golf. :)

Even if you were only making a 1% return on your money, you'd still see $100k a year without touching the $10M. A savings account will earn you that much.

I would donate it to the DNC. Or maybe just party. Tough choice.

Spend a full week doing little more than sleeping and eating take out, because **** it...I can.

Once I am fully rested and everybody I work for assumes that I am dead...I shower, shave and go see my good friend the broker who will see to my retirement for a nominal fee.

Nice list ! I couldn't get out of this shithole of a State fast enough. Illinois = Government at it's worst, and most corrupt.

Or would you just take over a couple cities and then hem and haw about what to do next for a long ass time?
No hemming. No hawing. Kicking ass, taking all the land and finding a wise-ass dwarf to advise me along the way.

Give to my church, Invest, buy a large established grassfed beef farm for living/employment and charity (resident rehab/work for people recovering from addiction/mental illness), start up a gravy company called SauceCo, and sell my gravy to Costco, donate percentage of profits to internet troll ban dispute resolution efforts.

Even if you have lots of money, not effectively investing it is a sin. Worst case you have more than you need, best case you set up a foundation and help others.

Long term, the notion that the stock market will rise is a virtually certainty. Look at the history from before the 1929 crash and you will see that no amount of economic terror will submerge it. Those that never got back in after the late 2000s crash lost out on the largest revival in the history of the world.

This is exactly why you hire a money manager and let him worry about it cause the average person has no clue

Let's hear it.

What is the first thing you're doing with your untaxed 10 mil (obama gets none). I am paying off my debt, immediate families' debt, and taking an immediate cruise to truly relax for a week or two and let it sink in.

The first thing I do is wake up.
