OK You have £100.000,000.00 what do you do first?

I wouldnt be very good at sitting around all day so apart from the obligatory house buying and essential supercar buying, what would you do to occupy your time?

I was thinking a privately owned trail center for all sorts of diciplines Inc a top notch hub of cafe and bike shop etc? obviously it wouldnt have to be mega profitable as i have 100 million pounds but the south east doesnt have anything decent like CYB or Cwm etc

I know we have no mountains (bit of a problem) but throw a few quid at it and i'm sure you could build something fun?

then obviously enjoy my collection of mentally expensive carbon bikes and cars oh and maybe the odd boat?

Thoughts on my weird dream world?

whyamihere

I'd give almost all of it away.

Emigrate to somewhere where there is no f*cking snow.

jay12

move to canada, buy a big house with a mountain next to it and build trails, buy loads of bike parts and bieks and build bikes and stuff. but some companies and invest and part of it save and rest give away

VWsurfbum

I was thinking investing, but that's boring. Unless you get to sit on the board and be gentally annoying?
Giving it away wouldn't keep you occupied?

I don't want that kind of money, there's no need for it. I'm not saying I'd leave myself destitute, I'd leave myself very well off, but not to excess. I'd get satisfaction from seeing whatever I'd funded hopefully succeeding.

montevideoguy

I'd set up a football coaching school out here (which also does standard education as well) which I'd do for free (sign up and act as agents for any kids that are good enough to go pro to recoup money that way).

Would also by a kick ass chalet in Switzerland close to trails (and snowboard spot)

That's what I'm talking about!
whyamihere
but what would you do with yourself? Work or just watch your investments?

What about a skills training Centre for teenage dirt bags to do something useful? Like shaping trails etc, like a detention centre before they get proper fooked by the justice system? But actually useful things not like what they do now??

whyamihere

I'd work. Even if I kept the full £100 million, I'd probably work. I've done the whole life of luxury thing without working or being in education before, and I had enough cash to have some fun with it. I got bored very quickly. I wouldn't have a 9-5, but I'm not intending to have a normal 9-5 anyway...

Andy

I'd spend it all.

but you could own a trail center and run that so that would still be work

i think most people would find it hard to spend £100 mil in their own lifetime unless they did something really stupid?

Why on earth would I want a trail centre? Where would I put the damn thing?

I'd just buy everything I wanted. I probably would never spend it all but I'd have a good go

MountainMonster

Mine would have to buy a house in the Alps, buy a backhoe and all tools to build trails. Buy every bike I would even consider riding, and put them inside a warehouse that I call my garage.

Ship my friends from England, and a few other people into my "guest house" comprising of 32 bed rooms. Let them ride bikes.

Infinite supply of alcahol and ciggys, and wacky tobacky. Maybe charlie can come too.

Buy a few sport cars, build my own paved pikes peak on the mountain. And a mudding area for huge trucks.

Buy alot of guns, and breed aliens, like predators did, to hunt.

Then spend about 1,000,000 on nothing but Gucci. Bond street in london will be my best friend. I will fly there in my private plane.

So defeat a lot of the point then yeah?

Raymondavalon

Hire a drop dead gorgeous babe as my PA
Build a house on a certain lake in the Southern Hemisphere
Spend 6 months in the Southern Hemisphere (October to March) and spend 6 months in Europe (April - September) that way, two summers
Toys galore: Cars, motorcycles, personal watercraft and of course MTBs, perhaps a fixed wing aircraft with the ambition to work my way up to flying my own executive jet.

bails87

I'd buy a BMW 335D and a barbie jeep.

projectsome

One of these,



and



then pay people to do this

lol good one

mikebx

houses in the states, england, and spain. i'd follow the motogp round the globe, and i'd be on the most expensive call girls money can buy.

n.battison

I would buy a warehouse somewhere, and fill it with cool stuff.

Something like rob dyrdek, and then have a series about me called neil's fantasy factory.

Yup. Not a fan of driving on dirt, would rather have a R8 and hoss up the mountain than in another car and rally.

:shock: sounds a bit dodgey?

Back when i could still skate, i always wanted a house i could fit a decent sized half pipe into?

Going back to the trail centre type thing. A indoor skate/bike park with a resturant and pub etc which overlooked the ramp areas etc. I have seriously thought about this idea. i just need the financial backing and i'd jump at the chance of doing this, it would make a fortune. somewhere close to a mainline station and lots of schools etc. then get in someone like Jamie Olivers 15 lot to run the resturant. brill

I might have a room at the back from dodgy shenanigans, the main thing i want in it would be a foam pit.

Plus i would defiantly have some sort of cafe there that sells domino's pizzas and subways.

Build a proper race track then

n.battison

I would also restart robot wars, or make a robot wars channel on sky.

I would make a new house robot and drive it.

Also the weight limit would be increased to 500kg to get some proper robots.

Beardface

Hookers & blow.

Done.

360

I reckon I could smash through a 100mill pretty fast.

First thing I'd do though, round up mates, pay their respective works off for a month and go on a holiday.

Beardface

Apart from hookers and blow, one thing I would like to do, as I obviously wouldn't work properly, would be secret millionaire style, but transform a tramp. I'd go out onto the streets, and find the most derserving tramp, maybe a few, pay for any rehab, accommodation etc, and get them trained to Cyctech 3 and upwards.

Then, I'd buy a huge bike shop, with various departments (MTB, road, family, kids etc), with a test track in a warehouse behind, and employ the former tramps, giving them a fresh start and a career. The bike shop would have a coffee/cake/bacon shop in it as well, for the wives to chill out in while the hubbys spend their monies

Obviously if the former tramps messed about/fell back on the wagon, they'd be out of a job/home etc.

Once the shop was established, I'd travel the world (few weeks at a time), with an uber expensive camera taking pictures of the worlds most interesting things.
