I'd definitely start up the businesses I'm developing. I'd donate money to individuals that I think are benefiting the Faith and my church. Buy 500 Acres of land and start the commune that my group of friends have been planning. I'd hire some of my friends to do various jobs, such as yell things in microphones to emphasize my words or points I'm trying to make. I'd also build my parent's dream home. get married and have 27 children

I would give it all away after taking care of my kid's education and a nice retirement for my wife and parents. Some I would give away for a nice house, some I would give away for a nice car, some I would give away for a summer house in Illinois.

 

I'm certain a couple charities would have me on their speed dials.

I would invest a lot in real estate and buy the White Sox.

Just in case that happens let me be the first to tell you

sell the team you cheap ass bastard. You don't want to win. :fyou

 

Just thought I'd give you a glimpse of your future :D

I'd buy the Cubs and move them to Montana.

I'd turn Chewing Gum Park into a musuem of losing.

There'd be a scarecrow of the following people and things:

Brant Brown in left field

Bartman in the LF stands

Giant hypodermic needle in RF

Gonzalez dropping a grounder at SS

Leon Durham at 1B

All these scarecrows would be filled with the ivy that I tore off the walls.

 

Then when I stopped laughing, I'd sell the Cubs but not the park.

They can go play somewhere else.

 

Serious answer - I'd buy a KICKASS house for myself, one for my mom, stick some money into all my daughter's, nephews' and nieces' college funds and bank the rest.

I would take care of my family and friends (and no, no Porshes or Benzi or country clubs.....just pay for their health, take care of debt, buy a few reasonably inexpensive houses, etc), lay a few Mill aside to have fun on and to pay for my future kids education.....and use the remaining 175 Mill to help the poor.

And what exactly do you have to do?

 

That's already been taken care of!

How about a museum for drunk, ignorant asshole fans?

 

The first exibit would be a group of 4 seats where there is person sitting at 1 end and the other person sits at the other and they both have cell phones and are talking about something totally meaningless and non-baseball related. Maybe for laughs one of the guys gets plunked in the noodle with a baseball just for not paying attention and spills beer all over himself.

OK I've been looking ever since this topic was posted for MLB Team Valuations... It looks like if you won $200 MIL after the government took half your money for taxes, you wouldn't even be able to afford the Montreal Expos.

 

Even worse, the least valued NFL franchise came in at over $500 MIL

 

Sorry I had to burst everyones bubble.

 

So realistically, here's what I'd do.

1) Buy summer home in Colorado Mountains.

2) Buy Winter Home in San Diego area.

3) Open my own business (bike shop, bar, something that'll keep my interest and keep me busy)

4) Take care of my family/loved ones.

5) find a financial advisor I actually trust. (RARE)

that's it. I don't need much. I wouldn't even buy a new car. And I'm driving a 00 Ford Ranger.

I'd probably go and buy $190 million worth of lottery tickets. If you bought that many lottery tickets, do you know what the odds are that you'll win? They are pretty f***ing good.

 

Even if I didn't win(and what are the odds of that?), I'd still have $10 mill left over. Though I'd actually probably only have $9 million left because I'd use $1 mill of it giving to people to look over my lottery tickets. One person alone cannot look at every ticket of $190 mill worth of lottery tickets.

 

Then I'd go to the local casino and play some Black Jack and some 5-card hold em.

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, absolutely NONE of thise is legal for me yet. I can play online Black Jack and 5-card hold em online, so I have that going for me, which is nice(I've been wanting to say that for the whole day, so I had to get it out....throw a little Caddyshack into the mix)

The Detroit Tigers are worth more than us? Gees that can't be good. 18th out of 30 teams ain't all that good in one of America's biggest markets.
