Most people are greedy and in some way you can add me to that list, look around at what most don't have, I have a lovely spacious house with small gardens all the lads are still at home due to brexit and covid but have no desire to move on as yet, I've no desire to move into a mansion I've everything that I could want, I'm not wasteful and find ways to utilise anything or pass on to anyone that can benefit from it so what would you do after given 10 mill to wakey and you've got 181 million more.
I know you can't buy health but I'd fix the bits are dropping off
If I'm being honest I've thought about this way too much....for fun, no more than that.
But yes I agree £190+ million is too much for one person. That's why you need to invest in something that will benefit others without benefit to you.
I have a family and they and my extended family would benefit first. We are not rich but of course we are not poor either.
Wakefield Trinity would be fun money, but you'd be surprised how quickly that money would slip away each year.
After that I'd probably still be left with £160million.
With that much money you need to pay for security and financial experts.
The rest I'd buy land for nature reserves and build safe places in other parts of the world as well as UK.
And I saw a film when I was a kid that always stuck with me. A guy came across money that wasn't his. It was all the pennies that are rounded up in the banks.
He would just live his life and every time he saw someone doing a good deed or in need, he gave them money as a secret donor. Change the lives of good people.
Of course, the point of the film was exactly your point. People started fighting in the street to be the one to help the old lady in case the secret donor was there.
Some tough choices. I hope I get the chance to do it though.
it get a pint for me and the Mrs when we next to for a dog walk
