If you suddenly had 10 million dollars

I'm broke and haven't finished getting stuff for my kids for Christmas, and thank goodness I get one more paycheck before then. Even so it will be modest by some people's comparison but that is not what Christmas is all about so that is OK.
I was daydreaming of what I would do with a lot of money. Give some to my kids and my Dad, help a few friends and acquaintances who are struggling financially, help some poor families I work with; and then.....
Lots of new stuff for my home, maybe not work for a while so I can just kick back and relax.
I have a majority of the material things I want but I would love to have some time to myself where I'm not up early every day for work there's never enough time for everything.
I'd like to buy some fancy frogs.

OK how about y'all, what would YOU buy with 10 million?

Re: If you suddenly had 10 million dollars

First I would tithe 10%, and invest 10% (which would be 1 million for each). Then see if any of my friends or immediate family needed money.

If not then I would buy 30-40 acres and build my own castle. Not a gigantic one, but modest with 4-5 bedrooms, a basement, two stories, and it has to have two towers and parapets .

Then I would partition off the land into large enclosures for pets! Get a gharial, 3-4 small clawed otters, a caracal, cheetahs, clouded leopard, a bongo or two, maybe a komodo... If I have a couple million left over after that I would build large outdoor enclosures for my boas and carpets.

Then whatever is leftover will also be invested. Oh and I'd definitely need to buy a squeeze cage, some Nelson automatic watering bowls, build night houses, shift areas, perimeter fence...

Re: If you suddenly had 10 million dollars

10 million, eh? Hmmmm... *eyeballs the mountain of snakes on her wishlist and the fact she could afford a rather nice, large house with ample room for more herps?!*

I'd invest some of course, deposit a good portion and live off the interest for the rest of my days. XD Of course, my mind's a little one-tracked.. There's so many things I could do with cash like that!

Re: If you suddenly had 10 million dollars

I would have an elective surgical procedure to remove the word "work" from my vocabulary.
