If you had £10 million pounds

[NotAllThere]

I'm very happy with the house I have, but I'd extend it by building an underground leisure facility, with olympic sized swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi, gym. I suspect I'd need a bit more than 10 million for that though.

It's what I'm planning to spend my first 100 million on.

Treat my friends
Buy a house in Australia for my mum (and give her a load of cash so she can visit it)
Pay for my nieces and nephews uni education
Buy some horses
Buy a bit of woodland and a house in the country
I like the sound of the F1 trip too

Become a Tory Cabinet Minister.

Probably a better ROI than any of the other suggestions

Me? Buy myself a nice pad with swimming pool and good view, give some to the rest of the family and maybe finance someone to develop software I'd be too busy to write.

I'd definitely indulge/invest in some fine art to put in the pad.

Leave it in the bank for a few years and it will buy you a nice bedsit in London.

So how about you hire a PA to do all the stuff you don’t want to, arranging holidays, dealing with house stuff, car stuff, shopping etc.

That's an ambition I've had ever since I read about Joanna Lumley (I think it was her) in the 1970s. She paid 30% of her income to a PA who organised everything, including buying the flowers on Mothers Day, but more importantly fee earning gigs.

30% doesn't seem so bad when contrasted with an agent taking 20%, considering the relative amount of work involved.

I'd give £1m to charities/benevolent funds.

Then buy an old stone house somewhere nice - on the coast; Possibly Devon or Pembrokeshire - convert the outbuildings into a studio, equip it, then spend the rest of my days as an artist, mostly in chalk & oils, possibly dabbling in sculpture, living modestly off the interest. I'd take frequent, backpacker-style trail holidays with Mrs RH, and she'd probably want to continue working in the health profession. I might also teach local kids photography on an ad-hoc basis. I'd buy a Hasselblad 500CM kit.

I'd probably also buy a nice short-wheelbase Land Rover; And a baby grand piano, to get back into my music; We'd have 2 cats: a Tonkinese and a Norwegian Forest; and an Old English Sheepdog. I'd also buy a nice over & under Beretta and get back into skeet shooting.

Quality.

I might buy a mountain to ski on.

I'd give a bit to family, set up a couple of trust funds for neices, god-children.

Have a cracker of a holiday, change my car not sure what to but it would have to be a family'ish style.

Nice big house not too far form where we live. buy the youngest a pony.
Kids have wanted a dog for ages, so probably get a dalmatian.

I'd also love to tell this place to go and take a flying f..k

Perhaps a smallish place in the med as a holiday home

WHS

[gingerjedi]

I'd draw out loads of 'wedge' and wave it in front of those lazy ass students who are currently smashing up Millbank Tower after being asked to pay for their own education.

'Loads-a-money'.
