If you were given £10 million & you could jack your job in today - what would you do???

I`d spend £250,000 EACH on about 4 or 5 properties around the world.

India
Oz
Miami
Spain

about £500k on a house in the UK

I`d use these as bases to travel for a year or 2 and experience the different cultures of the world.

Id pay off my two sisters mortgages for them too.

I`d buy some seriously PHAT cars ie.

Aston Martin Vanquish
Ferrari Marinello + a couple more.

oh and i`d sort out some decent AV setup/projector jobby.......!

So - what would you do???

I`d spend a few £100,000 on a top of the range editing suite, and another few hundred thousand on DV cameras. Hell, I might try to get one of those HDDV cameras that George Lucas uses. Last time I heard they cost $350,000 each, which ain`t that bad (although they`re a bit big).

I`d then pick one of the treatments that I`ve wrote, develop it and write a full script. I`d then budget it (obviously I wouldn`t use ALL my money, but a decent film could be shot for a couple of million).

I would then get a small crew together and shoot the film, and either try and get a distributor, or travel around the world at all the various festivals.

Damn you Neiliboy, you`re getting me all excited about nothing ;-)



Everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how wrong it is ;-)

1. Create my very own band to record all my hundreds of songs (these really exist), pay for an ad campaign and take them to the top.

2. Use said band to win Eurovision with an unstoppable nu-metal anthem called "Ding-dang-a-dong-death".

3. Become the next Simon Cowell and wear extra high trousers. Go on Pop Idol America and become a hate figure for millions of sappy, pop-liking yanks.

4. Retire.

I wouldn`t quit my job and the money wouldn`t change me!!!

Yeah like f**k, don`t you hate people that say money doesn`t bring you happiness?
I`d have a bloody good try!!!

Fast cars and anything that involved speed + travel everywhere.

I`d turn up to the office in just my pants and a string vest and see how long it takes before they sack me. Then I`d buy penthouses in Tokyo, New York, London and f***ing party. Then, when about 3 quarters was spent I`d try and get sensible and maybe make music or something for a living. Ahhh.....thats the dream alright.
