I'd donate most of it to charities and keep a few millions for myself. I'd travel for a while and eventually buy a property in Sardinia and turn it into a cozy bed and breakfast. Not interested in luxury.

My great-grandmother won the lottery when I was in high school. It was not worth it in the end. But for the sake of fun...

 

The first thing I'd do is hire a security team and spend a lot on anonymizing myself both in person and online. I'd only want to maintain contact with maybe ten people at absolute maximum.

 

Monetary things... modest properties outside Rome and in Berlin, and maybe somewhere deep in Iceland. I'd travel the world, of course. Invest in some start-ups and maybe start a language learning school for advanced linguistic students. And I'd pump a lot of money into rehab programs for recent parolees, LGBT-activist agencies, shelters for domestic violence survivors, and women's health clinics. I'd like to set up a scholarship for students living in high-tuition countries (e.g., USA) to attend university abroad in Europe so they don't have to get into incredible debt for the sake of their futures.

 

My father wouldn't ever want to stop working, so I could see myself buying him a non-kill dog shelter to manage. My mother would want to stop working and travel, so I'd get her to set up with that.

 

And there's a local spot where I'm from that needs funding, so I would donate to that. Also, my ancestral town in Italy needs funds for further Roman excavation.

[DamianSolo]

1. Financial advisor and lawyer.
2. Paying off the little debts I have, along with my family's.
3. Custom built vacation home in Maine and a primary home here in Louisiana.
4. A couple of new vehicles, a car and a truck—nothing exotic, but still nice.
5. Giving back to my local communities, enriching the lives of others.

I've always appreciated the simpler things in my life. So, I wouldn't even feel the need to try and live some larger than life type of life.

The way I could buy everything i want and still have like $450m left  

1. Buy a nice apartment in my city.
2. Buy everything I want like clothes, electronics etc
3. Buy houses/apartments for my parents and brother + give them some money
4. Get a personal trainer
5. Maybe some plastic surgery
6. Travel a lot

I don't know what else, I'd probably invest but in a way that I don't have to do a lot work.
