Default How would you spend 500.000 Euro (6-700.000dollar)

Hi!

If you got 500.000 Euro (about 6-700.000dollar) how would you spend it?

Example: 1 CCR or 50 Fiat Stilo or something.

The Zonda F without any long hesitation... Well, actually if I started contemplating, I'd probably go for an M6 or an F430 or the new turbo and save the rest.

50 Fiat Stilos. Why didn't I think of that? Ok then, but only Schumacher special editions, deal?

Excusing my sarcasm and getting back to the question:

Larger house, start business. Which will be sports car / motorcycle related thus allowing me to have a (small but everchanging) fleet at my disposal

Back to reality and lottery tickets for now though.

I'd buy a house for about $500k and then use there rest to buy a Red Ferrari F355 GTS for around 100k, and an Orange (or maybe blue) Lotus Elise 111R and a Mitsubishi EVO VIII MR in Black for everyday use.

Exactly what I'd do, except I wouldn't get a GTS.

Well here in Canada, that is an even heftier sum of money, approaching 900,000 I would think but lets say 850,000. I would go to school still, so my place of residence will be Halifax. I would buy a condo downtown so lets say a real nice one is gonna set me back 150,000. I want underground parking of course and three spots. I would buy a Porsche Cayenne Turbo.. as new since I dont want to wait for a new one... so lets say 120,000. I need my saloon, so in this case I am gonna go with the Maserati Quattroporte...again as new, I hate waiting so about 130,000. Finally I need a sports car, and nothing but a Ferrari will do for me. A 2001 or 2002 Ferrari 360 would do very nicely, and at about 250,000 tops for a real low km stunner. That leaves me with 200K to party with, travel, pay for school, and invest. I would buy rental property during that year as well, since I would now be worth 600K on paper. Then I would start to build my empire. Three fantastic vehicles, a solid highrise condo, 200K in cash, and a university student. Could you ask for much more? hehe

I'd invest it, and then if everything went well I'd buy a nice house with a big garage full of nice cars. And then I'd spend my life driving those cars, travelling, etc...

But I'd still finish Highschool and College tough, even if on a later stage.


The second option would be spending everything in cars.
