What would you do if you were given a million Pounds? Would you keep it all for yourself or would you give it (or use it) to help others?

I would help others I think...I dont need lots of money, sure I want it but I dont need it. Insted of giving it to a charity id make my own so that I know that id really be making a difference!

What about you?

I'd go on a diet to lose that weight.

But with 1.8 million dollars, I'd probably start with a 10% as tithe, then doing some upgrades on my computer system;)

then maybe I'd pay off all those people I've pirated from and put the rest in teh bank after buying some plane tickets to various placesxD

I'd go to the hospital because 1 million pounds is just waaaaaaaaaaay too much fat.

I hate to post in this, but in General Chat the thread titles thing says "what would you do?" and then underneathe is says "do porn!" ahahaha.

Wait, now it moved. FIX IT. Fine, I'll just be childishly amused.

Mine too. =(

I'd be boring and put it in the bank or something.

Unless someone pissed me off before. Then I'd probably get revenge. :love:

I would put certain plans in motion and grow in wealth, prestige, and power.

Actually, I'd probably buy a few k's worth of entertainment products, then use some to put friends through college, and put everything else into the bank to buy a house and suchlike.

A million pounds? I'd get lipo-suction.

I'd use some of it to pay the rest of my parent's mortgage off. Umm, I'd probably also buy a very advanced computer. Oh, and I would pay some hitman to take out all the scum who create spyware. :love:

The rest? Well, it wouldn't really bother me all that much, to be honest. I wouldn't need it for anything. Maybe I would invest it in some property.

I'd research global genocide . . . :sweat: I mean, I'd research a way to prevent global genocide . . . :shifty:

Seriously though, I'd invest everything into my career. Nothing like a lot of green to get on top of the game fast!

With the money I earned from my career built from the ground up in complete regard to my $1000000 investment, I'd buy a huge house with wooden floors in which I'd set up an intricate (tiny) hotwheels raceway that spanned the entire house: fascinating to see without being an obstacle. I don't really like swimming, but I'd have an indoor pool anyway. The massive room in which the pool would reside would have a roof that opens for fresh air and sunlight. I prefer an indoor pool to avoid nature invading my waters. I hate when foliage and dead bugs pollute the swimming area.
I'd buy the cars whose body designs have fascinated me since I was child. Cars like the Corvette '67. Eventually, each of my children would have one which I'd have customized specifically for them.

My major priority in all this would actually be to research a way to find everyone and anyone responsible for creating and distributing adware and spyware. Then I'd hire a bounty hunter squad to hunt them all down and return them to my castle where I'd group them all together and have my dungeonmaster, the most wicked and merciless psycho I can find, do horrible things to them one by one as all the others watched at gunpoint unable to do anything, whether it be to interfere or to run or to cover their eyes for their torment.
My reasoning is that like any criminal whose activities directly affect and harm the average innocent citizen, these hackers deserve far greater anguish and torment than is humanly possible to manifest.
After all this, I'd send any still in their right minds out into the world to warn any other foolish enough to consider distributing adware or spyware of just who they'll be visiting.

Watch as the government takes it all away slowly by putting taxes on it.

Actually, I would wonder what drugs I sold to get 1 million pounds just handed to me.

I'd do a lot of things with the money.

I'd give a lot to a dogs home, as I love dogs muchly. Then with the rest I'd put in numerous banks, & I'd just get some out & spend when I wanted to.

Haha @ Nicky

I'd..buy a house for me and lindy and go live with him *nod* And who knows after that? But that'd make me happyhappyhappyhappy!

I'd exchange 'em to dollars... because I don't know how much 1 million pounds is. :spin:

US$1,000,000 = US Green Card.

That'll leave me apparently with £800,000...

£300,000 = House in Edinburgh, Scotland.
£150,000 = House in Auckland, NZ (Navah House, to be specific).
That's... £350,000 in the bank. I can live with that. I'd buy a couple of boats, a cheap bach in Corromandel and put the rest in the bank and return to work, probably. Working will be a lot more fun when I can actually do whatever I want with the money. I'd also rent out the houses I'm not currently using. Although I'd be pretty damned strict with who gets to stay in Navah House, though, as it's the house I grew up in.

That means I can travel in and out of NZ, US and UK as I please for the rest of my life. I'd be happy with that for sure.

Of course, should I marry Sarah someday, I wouldn't need the Green Card... so that'd be an extra US$1,000,000. I'd probably just buy a lot of random stuff with that, like furniture and vacations and whatnot.

I'd buy a house in Toronto, a car, furniture and everything. I think I'll have some left, maybe, so I'd just put it in the bank. :D

I'd give some to charity and my friends and family, I'd keep enough money to support me for a while and get me into uni and stuff, and get a car and give a lot to my Mother and Dad to get them a new house and car or something! I'd buy a trampoline and give my Mother money toward her dream of owning a cat and dog shelter, It'd help her along the way!

Ah, what would I do?

I'll probably put a large portion of it in the bank and in investments, give a quantity as zakat and with the rest I'll buy a beautiful villa on the beach with a gym and a swimming pool, a big big boat, a porsche, a BMW, a cat, designer clothes, really cool electronic gadgets and start my own magazine and maybe a publishing company.

Ah, dreams...what would we do without them?

I would probably spend a lot on myself, but not all...
I'd fly to somewhere where it's poor, then just dump a load of money in the desert...

I would travel, faaar away....

I would invest it, along with all the money I earned.

Then one day, when there was lots of money in there, I would give some to charity, some to my friends and family and then keep the rest and treat myself. ;)

Take half of it and donate it to all the refugee camps that need the support. . .of course, I'd MAKE SURE-those children got the money first thing. .there's just too many crooked people in the world.
