    Would you work and do basic things? Would you have an entourage? Would you have someone who would dress you, cut your hair, manage your bank accounts, schedule your day etc?

    This is something I would dislike, I like my own life and I like being able to control it, The idea of someone doing my cleaning would be something I could fall in line with but that is pretty much where it would end.

    Well with that kind of money I would buy a larger house no stairs or an elevator, and have housekeepers and cooks! An entourage no, just the housekeepers and cooks.

    That kind of money, a big house in another city, maybe somebody to come in and clean it once a week, that is it.

    I live a simple lifestyle and it would continue. I would use the money to make my life more pleasant like rent the apartments below mine and on either side just to ensure quiet. (and maybe a place for ppl to visit, as I like my one room efficiency layout.

    I would help the local economy by hiring rent-boys or be a sugar daddy to some cutie. Blue Cool

    Even with that kind of money I can't see us getting servants. OK, maybe someone to come in and clean but I think that's it. Of course, I'd like to put that theory to the test big grin

    Shale with that kind of money you could buy a house in the Hamptons and not have any neighbors for a mile on each side LOL

    I don't think I would get a personal stylist, but who knows, I'm not totally opposed to it. Yes I'd still go to the salon, yes to having an accountant to help me handle all that money. I'd be able to manage my day to day schedule.

    If I won $160 million, I'd never work another day in my life! But I also wouldn't have a whole entourage around me either. I live pretty simple and wouldn't want it any different - I'd still do everything I always do except for the working part of it.

    Yeah OK, and a gardener too, but the only one going along for the ride would be the limo driver. (I couldn't spell chauffeur either).

    I would only work on the projects that either I initiated, or decided to donate my time to. Needless to say that I wouldn't have a daily 'job' where I was under the authority of someone else. If won that much money, I would buy an extravagant home somewhere in some gated community, set my kids up to go to some exclusive schools, buy my parents a home, buy my wife and I some nice cars, then lock up the rest of the money.

    Very good ideas Chris.
