Title: Mega Millions at 1.6 billion
Post by: Agnostic007 on October 18, 2018, 08:00:18 PM
Cash option is 548 million estimate

Uncle Sam takes $202 Million for doing nothing

That leaves 346 Million after taxes.

For those of you thinking this.. but not saying it.. that leaves $173 million after divorce...

How would you even begin to spend $346 million dollars? It boggles the mind.

For me, after hiring some financial consultants, attorneys, setting up Trusts etc.. I would make a list of about 20 good friends and family and gift them a million or so each depending on the relationship. I think I would put 50 million in an account for me to spend, and the rest, look for ways to make life better for others and prop up some charities I like. For toys, I would definitely build a collection of classic muscle cars.

Ask Kevin Garnett, who earned about 365 mil during his NBA career.  Wife is about to divorce him in California and get half.  Attorneys and CPAs have fucked up the other half.

Kevin Garnett career earnings: $326 million, the most all time - Business Insider.Sep 24, 2016. I was a bit over but his NBA number doesn't include sponsorship deals, so I'm sure the total is over 365.

How would you even begin to spend $346 million dollars?

First I'd put away a huge chunk of the money and never touch it to make sure I never end up poor.  Even though inflation is slowly robbing me I'd be ok with that to make sure I didn't royally fuck up.

The second thing I would do would be to lawyer up.  Expensive Jew lawyers.  The best lawyers money can buy.  I'd also hire security to keep me from getting jacked.

Next I'd buy some apartment buildings in good cash flowing areas to generate a huge source of passive income that would go on forever.  I'd hire a property management company to deal with the BS.

Only then would I start to buy myself some of the bullshit that I want to waste money on like fast cars and expensive Russian whores.

After my empire was as bulletproof as possible, then I would start giving some money away to family, friends, and charity.  I would not buy a giant house.  I would rent where I lived to stay flexible and avoid money pits.

I think that would be a financial mistake. Had a coworker hit the Texas Lotto for 95 Million. He and his wife got 51 million. He is now the Sheriff of Williamson County TX. yes... the dude still works... crazy. But he would recommend taking pics of the ticket, putting the ticket in a safe deposit box, getting a lawyer and Financial planner first before claiming the prize. That would allow them to set up some products that would alleviate some of the tax burden, and when I'm looking at Uncle Sam wanting 202 million of my money, every little bit helps. Change your phone number is another thing.

Side story, he remained at APD for about a year after winning, thinking he was just going to continue his career. His lawyer became like a Colonel Parker, controlling his every dime. it was almost like he was brainwashing him. He would not spend a dime. He invited his former shift mates out to dinner to celebrate and when the check came he had them separate the bill. Here is a guy that was making more off interest in a day then those people were making in a month. It got so bad his wife was about to leave him. He finally broke the spell and canned the lawyer. I guess there are extremes both ways.

Never working again, no matter how well off you are, is the quick path to an early death. Humans were meant, through evolution, to react to stress and challenges. Not having any leads to rapid aging or worse - self destruction..

As for stashing money away, etc, etc, most people do not have any idea of what it's like to have a few million in the bank, let alone many of them. A million dollars in cash in most parts of the country is a staggering amount  (except of course to the jetset getbiggers...) I sold a business and achieved that goal and it was surprising. I had to start another business shortly after because my life needed a purpose- like 99% of people. Lots of money in assets felt magical at first but then the thought faded. It doesn't change your life that much, really.

I also realized quickly that happiness comes from what you do, not what you have. Large sums of money can control you too, instead of the other way around.

If people know you have money, they become very superficial. Better to just keep everything quiet and live a normal life with a few perks- like being able to take the time to do whatever you want, with people you like.

Which means Thousands of dupes lost about 2 billion for someone to get rich....lotto gives barely above half of revenue to prizes. And the slow payout means they hold the money and of course get interest on it..over 30 years of interest so basically after taxes they dont pay anything.

But, you are helping our wonderful public education system.

I agree with the turn the phone off part.

Then you have to reach out to a lawyer first, financial advisor can wait the next week. With that type of money you just need to do some basic investing and live off the interest.

Traveling the world to my heart's content will let me find out what I would do next.

I have just downed a few beers but this is my most realistic guess at the moment:

- buy house for 800 k

- buy a nice car for 100 k

- buy art etc. for 100 k.

- invest the rest and keep 20% in cash

you would never have to work again and I would enjoy frequent restaurant visits, body massages etc.

$970,000,000

After Taxes, lawyers, accountants = $485,000,000

Monthly payout over 30 years =1.6 million

Value of 1.6 million in 30 years =$160,000/month

Not including Jewelry, prostitutes, divorce from prostitutes,swindled on bad investments, lawyers for frivolous lawsuits...etc.....If you are very humble you could retire and cruise with this lottery...but odds are you'll be bankrupt.

There’s a website that tells you what to do if you win big money. Turn your phone off and call a financial advisor. Set your family up for generations. I’d travel the world with my wife and kids and buy a nice house on about 100 acres.

Financial advisor is such bs, people that blow through that much money are idiots regardless of having an advisor or not

that absolutely shocks me

he was never the best player or face of the league and he's only known to nba fans he's not transcendent like lebron, shaq, kobe, or michael and i can't think of anything that he endorses

E

Earl KG was the face of the first $100 million contract and that contract (becoming a standard for unproven talent)   eventually led to the NBA lockout.

volunteer for good causes

don't work a job when you don't need the money, you're just taking a job from somebody that needs it a lot more than you

E

Having a need doesn't mean someone else deserves, or is a good fit for a job. If someone chooses to keep a job despite having money then it's their job to lose. If there's someone more deserving they will be replaced.

Come on man.

Zero.

This is why you have to laugh when people argue about politics. You know it really doesn't do anything. When the government could swipe in and take prize winnings from a state-funded "game,"you know something is seriously screwed up. I guess a good way to fill politicians pockets with a few hundred million.

Title: Re: Mega Millions at 970 Million
Post by: RJ DRIVER on October 20, 2018, 05:57:08 AM
Here’s a snippet of advice from an article about the lottery curse...

So let's say you or someone you know wins the lottery. How can you avoid the curse of the lottery? It's easy. Just do nothing. Don't tell anyone. Not even your parents. Not even your best friend. Sit and wait and do not declare yourself the winner until you do a few things.

Hire an attorney immediately
Hire a lawyer from a large, national firm. Make sure you are assigned to a partner who has been with the firm for a long time. Don't use your local or regular attorney. Use someone who has ZERO ties to your life, your family, and your friends. Get an attorney that specializes in Trusts and Estates from one of the 50 biggest law firms in the U.S.

Take the lump sum
You can make much better decisions with the lump sum that will end up paying out more annually than the state's annuity will. If you take the annuity you won't have access to the majority of your cash and the annual rate of return will barely beat inflation. You can do much better investing it in a standard fund. In general, you should expect to get about half of the original jackpot if you elect a lump sum. After that, you should expect to pay around 33% to state and federal taxes. Jack Whittaker's jackpot was $315 million. He took the lump-sum cash up-front option, which knocked off $145 million (46% of the total) leaving him with $170 million. That was then subject to withholding for taxes of $56 million (33%) leaving him with $114 million.

Decide how much money you are going to give to family and friends
Generally, giving 20% or so of your after tax lump sum winnings to family and friends is being incredibly generous. Tell your lawyer this is what you want to do. 20% of $114 million is $22.8 million. That leaves you with $91.2 million. Do not ask your family what they want. Do not buy them a house. Do not give your family and friends cash. Tell your attorney to set up a series of trusts for your family that equal 20% of your after tax winnings. If you start to hand out cash out of generosity, that will come back to bite you in the butt. Setting up a trust or a managed fund for your family that is in the double digit millions is very generous.


 
Don't hire an investment manager
Investment managers charge fees, usually a percentage of assets. If they charge 1% (which is low) they have to beat the market by 1% every year just to break even with a general market index fund. You don't need the extra return or the extra risk. Go for the index fund instead if you must invest in stocks. This is a hard rule to follow. They will come recommended by friends and family. They will be your second cousin on your mother's side. Investment managers will sound smart. You do not need them.

Invest in long term U.S. Treasury Bonds
Use somewhere between 20% and 33% of your remaining $91.2 winnings to purchase a combination of longer term U.S. treasuries (5 or 10 year) This is your safety net. You will be protected from yourself. It will be tempting to become a big investor right away because "Even if I lose it all I still have $XX million left! Anyone could live on that comfortably for the rest of their life." That's not going to happen. Right now, you'll get around 3.5% on the 10 year U.S. treasury. With $18.2 million (20% of $91.2 mil after your generous family gift) invested in longer term U.S. treasury bonds you will get a return of $638,400 per year. If everything else blows up, you still have that, and you will be in the top 1% of income in the United States. Don't take the chance.

What to do with the rest
Now you have $72.9 million left. Be safe, put about half of this, or $36.4 million into an S&P 500 index fund that has low fees. Continue to resist the lure of investors. Don't. Remember that even if you lose every other dime, you have $638,400 per year you didn't have before that will keep coming in. You should return around 7.00% or so over the next 10 years. You should expect to touch not even a dime of this money for 10 or 15 or even 20 years. In 20 years $36.4 million could easily become $115 million.

What to do with the remaining $36.4 million in cash
You've provided for your family generously and you know you'll be getting $638,400 a year in salary because you made some wise, safe, investing choices. Go ahead and have fun with that remaining $36.4 million. Buy a house or three, a private jet, a super yacht. Become an angel investor and fund some startups – just not for anyone you know. Play the market with it. Enjoy it. But still do not give cash to friends and family and do not read mail from anyone you do not know. The sob stories will break your heart. Save yourself the anguish.

Cash option is 548 million estimate

Uncle Sam takes $202 Million for doing nothing

That leaves 346 Million after taxes.

For those of you thinking this.. but not saying it.. that leaves $173 million after divorce...

How would you even begin to spend $346 million dollars? It boggles the mind.

For me, after hiring some financial consultants, attorneys, setting up Trusts etc.. I would make a list of about 20 good friends and family and gift them a million or so each depending on the relationship. I think I would put 50 million in an account for me to spend, and the rest, look for ways to make life better for others and prop up some charities I like. For toys, I would definitely build a collection of classic muscle cars.

A couple super cars / hyper cars 5%.. help out immediate family 25%

the minor inconvenience of having to hold the fishing pole awkwardly under your left elbow and reel fish with your right hand rather than have both hands on the stick because your left is constantly tugging at your pants to stay above the crack line when you bend forward to reel but you can already taste the moist wetness of his long pink tongue on the top of your Asian asshole the moment he picked up a whiff of the afternoon ballsweat and dingleberries in your crack.

Earl KG was the face of the first $100 million contract and that contract (becoming a standard for unproven talent)   eventually led to the NBA lockout.

Having a need doesn't mean someone else deserves, or is a good fit for a job. If someone chooses to keep a job despite having money then it's their job to lose. If there's someone more deserving they will be replaced.

Come on man.

1. How dare you sir.

2. After I win I use the money to find out where you work, I buy that company outright and I install myself as your  boss,  I'll defer the salary and turn it into easily obtained bonuses for the staff. The simple tasks will consist of providing information on why Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player alive and how Kevin Levrone is overrated as a bodybuilder, musician and thespian.

If you don't like these new practices and decide to leave and work elsewhere I will buy the new company you work for and and start the process over again except I make the aforementioned practices company policy. All raises and bonuses will be merit based on providing the information asked for.

If you decide to leave this company and go to another I will in turn buy that  said company..... I will do this until I am unable to purchase new corporations or until you come to grips with reality.

Side note Earl have you ever watched the shows what I did with my millions and the lottery wrecked my life?

The biggest issue for the winners, besides over spending, is not being able to manage the money they had prior to winning the lotto. I think the number was 75% end BANKRUPT in 5 years and 90% are broke in 10 years.

Winning money doesn't prepare them to have money and the leaches that try to take it from you.  It should be simple common sense to make it last a lifetime, but just as we see with pro athletes, if you don't know how to handle money it will wreck you.

I think keeping a job keeps people normal and prevents then from being consumed by their idle time.

One guaranteed event is that every family member you’ve ever met will come running to you for money along with every friend and neighbor. And no matter what you give, it wouldn’t ever be enough. That faucet will run until you turn it off. So you have to:
- Move
- Change your number
- Cut off communication between all friends and family members
- Hope that someone will ever love you or want to be your friend for a reason other than your money

So basically, you lose your friends, neighbors, family but gain enough money to finally become popular on Instagram.

I can see why smart people realize that having a ton of money actually makes life worse.

Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 and 1 number from 1 to 25.

Easy as pie for Getbiggers.

The probability for the scenario you just described is [(5C5)(65C0)/70C5]*(1/25) = 3.305 X 10^-7 %, or 3.305 in a billion, which approximates to 1 in 302 million.

The same odds as rolling a die and getting the number 1 , eleven times in a row.

Rounded up they're the same, yep. (1/6)^11 = 3 x 10 ^-7 %

Buy a half decent house in the posh end of gosforth and tell only a select few mates where I live. Probably throw the missus out and get a maid for cook and cleaning and just enjoy life not going to work,  eating, going to gym, going out for drinks in Newcastle centre a few nights a week, sex with deluded filthy gold digging whores who are naive enough to think you can’t see them for what they are then fuck them off for another the second you are bored.

Some advice I have read in the past is that the firm you hire for reducing your tax bill, setting up trusts etc is also the firm you refer all people who hit you up for money to. Makes sense. As a standard rule I would refer anyone who asked me for anything to them. "Sorry, I don't handle that aspect anymore. But if you call Mr. Scrooge at his office, here is his number, he will evaluate your request and forward it to the people that make that decision. I found this to work best for people I know, because you wouldn't want it to affect our friendship right? I thought so."
