If you hit the lottery...

...like, the 150mil one, what would you spend it on? I personally would pay for both my and my fiancee's college, then spend about 10k on an uber comp/entertainment center, then build my dream house in the back of 10 or 15 acres, then pay off my grandparents house and/or just buy them a cabin by the lake they go to every weekend and give them enough to retire on, then start a paintball field/proshop, then buy my girl whatever car she wanted, then buy these four vehicles:


The Caddy XLR for everyday driving. (Yes I ripped it off Whale)




The Bugatti Veyron, just for fun. (or maybe some other super car...I don't know...)




The GMC Canyon, for work and/or off-roadin...Prolly in black.




And some sort of ticked off sport bike, again, just for fun.


Then, I'd probably get whatever other neat toys I want (uber smartphone, ect) to finish out my spend fest. After that I'd donate a couple million to various charities/schools/political campaigns and invest the rest for the future, probably a mix between real estate and stocks.


How 'bout you?


ps
  I realize that I posted car pics, but feel free to include pic of any kind of expensive stuff in you spending plan...lol...I am so materialistic...

You know what it is don't you? I thought for sure Ryan that you would know!
Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKa, NYSE: BRKb) is a company headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, USA, that oversees and manages a number of subsidiary companies. Berkshire Hathaway's core business is insurance, including underwriting of property and casualty insurance, reinsurance and specialty nonstandard insurance. The company is controlled by Warren Buffett, who is one of the most celebrated investors in history and is currently the second-richest man in the world according to Forbes magazine. Buffett has used the "float" provided by Berkshire Hathaway's insurance operations (a policyholder's money which it holds temporarily and is allowed to invest for its own profit) to finance his investment schemes. In the early part of his career at Berkshire these focused on long-term investments in publicly quoted stocks, but more recently Berkshire has purchased a diverse range of non-insurance businesses including candy production and sales at retail, newspaper publishing, retailing of home furnishings, sales of encyclopedias, sales of home cleaning units, manufacture and distribution of uniforms, retail jewelry, and manufacture, import and distribution of footwear.

The Company averaged a phenomenal 25%+ annual return to its shareholders for the last 25 years while employing large amounts of capital. Berkshire has identified utility as its next big area of investment. In 2005, Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 was repealed; this allowed utility investors such as Berkshire to have more control over their investments.

Thank you Wikipedia.
