    I would use it to fund my campaign to get elected and form my own party (or buy off the Conservatives) with which to establish my totalitarian regime and take over the world of course! And do some do-gooder stuff with it (the cash, not the world).

    I think I'd struggle with that much privilege, I'd feel incredibly guilty. In terms of what I'd spend it on I can only say concretely that I'd buy my mum a house. The overwhelming majority of the rest would probably be spent on a combination of charity and politics.

    Invest in a business of some sort so I can make my own money and pay off the rest of my college tuition. Donate some to cancer and asthma research.

    Give 100 million bucks to each of my parents and then never work again in my life, ever.

    I would buy the company that makes Tropico games, buy an island and name it Tropico, become the El Presidente, build like 100 cabarets on my island, and hopefully not get overthrown by showgirl rebels..

    Buy a Ford Mustang and throw money at scientists until they've cured AIDS, cancer and solved the world hunger problem.

    Construct a white stone mansion in the middle of the Saharan desert, with a helipad (and my own personal helicopter). This mansion would be solar powered and have just me and some close friends. I would from there invest in a company and make more money, and use this cash flow to begin remaking Africa in my vision, so at some point I would rule the entire continent through my business empire! And of course I would run for political office.

    Probably stick it in the bank, so I would have a steady, £50,000,000 a year, income. Then, erm, probably buy a few mansions every year, so by my middle years I would control the UK property market.
    Then, I would refuse to sell any houses for a few years, driving up house prices dramatically, until they are sufficiently high so when I sell all these houses, I would have an unfathomable amount of money, by my calculations £22,539,000,000,000.. 22 and a half trillion pounds.

    And after that? No idea.

    Yeah, same here. I dislike the idea of ever becoming extremely wealthy for that fact alone.

    Fuck that, I would buy a large town in California or Florida, turn it into a socalist city state, Invest in some companies, buy myself my own small army, make Spencer the Vice Dictator and invite all forum members ( even Kard ) to the country and buy them houses in large suburb areas. And then live it up even more.

    Oh and I would make tropico my main and only trade partner.
