Well, even on a poor 4% return (bonds), you'd still be looking at £600k a year. I could slum it on that.

Still, I agree. I'd stick the £48 million away in safe, long-term investments and pi55 the other £100 million on enjoying myself.

4% of £148m is £6m

Nomadd went to the Russell School of Accountancy, obviously...

You'd have to do something to mitigate any future tax liability on your returns though, shirley?

After all, half of £6,000,000 can pay for an awful lot of legal and accounting advice

[EternalOptimist]

I would hire a team of nubile blonde female dwarfs, with pert bazongas, to follow me around all day on their hands and knees balancing trays of ice cold fozzies and bowls of salted peanuts on their backs.
The one that kept up the best would get a bonus of 10,000 at the end of the day, plus a day off. The one that did the worst would have to sing three choruses of 'heigh ho' and have to massage my feet for an hour with a scented ear bud.

and I would offer half to the spice girls if they promised to disband again

After you bought your own private island, what else is there left to do and enjoy?

Something philanthropic? A sports academy or learning centre, something lazy fat arsed layabouts won't be interested in.

This will almost certainly completely f*** up their lives completely.
Going public is a huge mistake, begging letters will be arriving from all corners of the globe while the scum of the planet makes plans to get their hands on some of the cash.
Everyone they have ever met will be looking for a payout too.
A million would have set them up nicely and still allowed them to keep a grip on reality, this much, all at once is going to destroy them and many others.

is that going in your letter for reasons why they should invest in the 'lugemg charitable donations fund'?

[lukemg]

Well - first thing they can do is setup a charitable foundation with 20 mill in. This to be invested, 90% of return distributed, 10% retained - ad infinitum. All begging to go to that for review and consideration.

The world is full of rich high profile people who didn't get their money from the lottery. You surely do get begging letters but you can hire someone to vet your mail.

[shaunbhoy]

I'd be altruistic with that amount of money. Hell, I may even pay for a party for HMRC's staff (like ****, I would!)

We know that. You don't even like paying your fair share as it is.

[kingcook]

I'd be more concerned about my kids being kidnapped and a randsom being demanded.

I'm silently laughing my ass off with tears and with my hand covering my mouth (trying not to get noticed by other people at my client's office!)
