How would you invest £1m?

[ChimpMaster]

A lot of threads going around about warchests, BTL etc. but if you wanted a relatively easy life without having to worry about money or work, where would you invest £1m to generate as much income as possible, without taking excessive risk?

Annual ROI after expenses should be in the region of 10%, so as to give you a decent monthly income before tax.

I've chosen £1m because seriously, anything less would just not be worth it unless you take on excessive risk to generate returns.

I'd spend a third on women, a third on drink and probably just waste the rest

I'd want £2m, so first stop would be the roulette table. Now.... red, no black, no hang on, red....

[FatLazyContractor]

I'll start with earning that £1 m first

What? Mum, sister and wife?

You talk about safely making 10% like it's easy.

10% per month or week?

Best I've seen as "easy" is about 8% buying holiday properties abroad, but I have no idea how that gets taxed given it's in an EU nation with high taxation.

Even buying a £50k house and renting for £400pcm gives less than 10% BEFORE expenses.

Binary options trading.

Some traders (traderush) offer a % of money back if you lose a trade (checkout their FAQ on What return will I get if an option runs out of money).

So if you simultaneously do two trades one on price moving higher and other on moving lower, you are a winner in either case. Assuming there are no hidden clauses.

Let me know if this works (for me to follow).
