I'll buy myself a sleeping mat, stuff it with the money, so that I can sleep on it all day!

Kidding la...

Invest 95% of it, and spend the rest on a couple very nice homes in elite areas, and on expensive clothing, and BMWs and Hummers. lol. And a yacht. And save some for my education, so I wouldn't have to work while in college.

1. Pay of my debts.

2. Hire someone to tell me what I need to do with my money to ensure that I never have to work again.

3. Donate lots of money to worthy causes (including friends).

4. Spend the rest of my days traveling around the world. I couldn't start that, though, until my beloved cats are no longer with me, because I don't think they'd take well to traveling.

I would do exactly what Deborah would do, although I don't have any pets to wait around for... This bitch is hopping on the next plane/boat/train a.s.a.p.!!

I'd also open up a club or restaurant, buy a few vacation homes here and there, collect artwork, go on an African safari, etc.

What I wouldn't do is buy Hummers (sorry, Josh) or jet planes (sorry, John Travolta) or a bunch of other extravagant things that are only going to contribute to the destruction of our environment.

Yep, I intentionally put that to get a rise out of some of our overly eco-friendly tree hugging members. Lol.

I might buy a hummer, just cuz it's the ultimate he-man vehicle on the market. And I would definitely buy a few ducatis.

Oh! I would buy horses and a vineyard as well.
