    224 million? I'd put it to use somehow - it's not quite the sum I'm looking for... a few more zeros needed for any proper plans.
    Don't have any aspirations - they're doomed to fail.

    Rumours...

    20Mil (At least) to charity. That's to start off with. Then I'd buy a house, a car and do whatever the hell I wanted. Buy the best computer money could buy.

    Man, I'd quit doing shit in school, that's for sure...

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    A game everyone can love.

    I would buy 100 rental properties, each valued at 125,000 in Texas. Total cost:

    12,500,000

    That would yield me a net monthly return of $700 per month x 100 = $70,000

    That would be for me.

    The rest would be invested in very stable and easy investments. The return on that would be for my family.

    All of it would be managed under a closed corporation that my family would hold stock in. That stock could never be sold, only passed on in equal shares to family members. Thus ensuring my line would have money and influence forever.

    edit: and as for what I would actually do? Go to school forever while traveling the world. Scuba diving in Thailand.
