What would you do if you won €130 million?

Devide it up amongst family and friends. Also give sizeable donation to paedophile hunters groups to help with phones and petrol expenses etc

It's good to see someone with a clear plan. It is surprising how many people in the country have no real idea of what they would do with €160 million.

I worked in the motor trade many years ago and plenty came in and bought expensive cars and vans for cash as in notes but then they brought in a rule where you had to get someone's PPS number for anything over 5k cash so that pretty much put a halt to that.

If that's true, how come so many of our ethnic cousins have new vehicles? Does revenue check every sale over 5k?

5k or more in notes I believe results in questions.

Would love to know this myself. Tried Googling but I'm not getting any clear answers.

Wouldn't give any money directly to charity, too much never sees the frontline services, I'd pick up the utility & food bills for a homeless shelter or two.

Only if it's in cash and only whenever they audit you.

I think you'll find that your donations to paedo Hunter groups would be spent on coke and hookers.

There would be no frontline services unless some money went into wages and administration.

That'd be nice, but getting planning permission, then getting a decent builder + materials to and from the island would be a bit of a hassle.

Fook that. Too bleak. I'd buy something like Richard Branson's Neckor Island. Pure luxury and great weather.

Get a life. Weirdo!

Keep my mouth shut as I would not want tons of begging letters plus having me and my family splashed all over the media.

Not tell anyone.

I would throw some items at a UFC bus and injure people. Have sessions all the time. Get tickets for speeding. Be in the papers for adultery.

Oh wait somebody else did that.....

Itssoeasy

I'd come on here and announce it... it's easy for people here to say what they'd do if they won anything like that money but on the off chance it was to ever happen to me, I'd say I would t know how to react or what to do. I think it's 160 million tomorrow or something near that anyway and while it would remove all your worries it'd probably bring way more ones that would make you miserable. I generally like where I am in life and where I live and the people I know and the lads in the local pub. All that would if not go completely but change radically.

Skyrimaddict

I would just add it to my other few hundred Million.

In reality, most people here would have the money gone in around 10-15 years, the accumulation and retention of wealth is something you either have or dont, hence why no one makes the millions. you need to know how to make it and keep it rather than just hold it.

Saying all that though, there is an 80 acre island off Galway I saw for sale, but that, 3 bed cottage and a weed farm out the back, then apply for a principality and have my own island away from Law.

weldoninhio

Have houses picked in Sydney, Los Angeles, South Lake Tahoe and Marbella. I'd buy them. Buy my mother a house. Pay for my sister to finish college without having any financial worries. Pay off friends mortgages. One of my friends wife's is a bank manager, I'd ask her to manage my finances. Travel a lot. Go to every sporting event I want in luxury, boxing, UFC, football, american football, GAA finals, Cheltenham, Aintree, the National. Help out a few local bands with equiptment etc.

13 billion penny sweets please, Margaret

You'd need to have a Phd in stupidity to blow €165,000,000.

If I won €130 million, I'd always thought about how to announce it publicly whilst having an obfuscated appearance. Seems this guy has the right idea though!

Could blow the dust off the horse head mask

If I got that much dosh I think I'd defo give my closest family, best mates and partner a million each, then we could all be rich bastards having the craic together.

Always the chance that suddenly getting loaded could ruin their lives though, which would then be my fault.

I'd buy an island beside Dermot's one...

Most likely keel over from the shock...!!!

A few well placed brown envelopes to the right politicians could see the property tax done away with for good.

You open it to the public for tax reasons. Revenue aren't allowed tell An Taisce. And you don't advertise which days it's open.

Do it right and your accountants could probably swing a grant or two

With that sort of money people working full time on tax avoidance would pay for themselves. And at the interview you can screen them as potential organ donors.
