After seeing the absolute piece of garbage that is the London 2012 logo and finding out that it cost £400,000 or $800,000 (at roughly current exchange rate.) It got me thinking whilst it isn' t a vast fortune, it would be intersting to find out how and on what you would spend that amount of money on. Me personally pay of the mortgage and get a an Aston Martin DBS or DB9 oh and what the hell pay full price for a PS3.

First - A small house in a fairly decent area Second - A basic car that will get me from point A-B comfortably Third - An above average entertainment setup meant mainly for gaming of course Forth - Well honestly thats all I' ll ever need. The remaining cash will goto living expenses to make each day relaxing and easy going. Set and simple is all I want.

I would purchase one of these items: -A night with a really good hooker (might even get a free STD). -A hyper clown dressed like Ronald McDonald to switch discs in my game systems for me. -A manly toilet with 5 times the load capacity, with toilet paper made out of silk. -Some rare baby seals to make my own fur coat or two or whatever it is they do with baby seals. -A can of Diet Coke® with actual cocaine (diet version) in it. -1500 illegal immigrants to do all the work I ever need done for the rest of my life. -Down payment on a Neo Geo game.

LOL! Funniest thing I' ve heard all week. My answer is rather boring. I' d get my folks out of the financial hole, get ' em a decent place to live. Pay for a better education. Get a decent ride. Not tell any girl I have money & wait for the right one to come along, then promptly settle down for a long life of paintball, skydiving and videogaming.

Nothing really exciting: Pay off current mortgage Buy an apartment in Thames Valley to rent out so I don' t have to work as hard. Put some money aside for my daughters' uni funds. And with the few grand left I might just be able to afford a PS3.

A nice car, a Zonda or Tommy Kaira ZZ and a nice house, mansion with a big back yard and a couple pools. A lot of land to fish and hunt in. And a biography movie of my life. But thats just a dream, plus i would actually help the less fortunate a couple $$M for my own fund or something.

I think that would cost atleast 5 million plus i would actually help the less fortunate a couple $$M for my own fund or something. Too bad you' re only getting $400,000

I have always thought if I ever get any large sum of money I would turn it all into property. I' d buy 2 houses CASH in fast growing/developing areas, rent one to some idiot family for $1600-$2000/ month and live on the other for free, sell them both years later when they are worth more if I feel like it, I already have a good 2007 Car so I don' t need that.

" I have always thought if I ever get any large sum of money I would turn it all into property." Realistically, that' s what I would do as well. I would probably build a few houses (higher profit magins) to rent out, live off of that and put about $100 000 in mutual funds so by the time I turn 50 I' d be a multi millionaire. Making money when you have money is so easy. For shits and giggles I would convert a Corvette into a Batmobile like this one.
