What Do You Do With Large Amounts Of Money? (lemm.ee)

Suppose you win 100 million. What do you actually do with it? Banks only guarantee 250,000. Do you have to invest it? Is there anywhere you can just let it sit and draw interest?

Invest in my people (friends and family), especially the ones I care about. Not exactly a win win but it's basically a wash in the worst case and a super win in the best case.

If they succeed in their endeavours, I get partial ownership in it or it can be a loan (whatever they prefer) and if they run away with the money, it's a cheap price to pay for setting up someone I cared about with a better life and finding out they were not trustworthy.

Also, if spread around enough, there will be enough people who will be thankful to you for improving their lives that they'll be there for you for a lifetime.

This is all after you do the usual investments with some amount and also keep enough aside from any ideas you want to try to bring to fruition (you'll want to do something at least after all)
