What would you do with $10,000,000?

sharePut it with what I already have and carry on as normal I guess.
shareSpend some, share some, invest some. Move away from all the toxic people in my life and start enjoying it. Buy a van, set up a bed in the back and travel the country. Travel the world. Buy properties all over. Write a novel. Rescue some animals. Eat good food.
shareI'd buy a nice house with a pool and a hot tub but other than that I'd probably just hang out at the same stupid bars drinking and eating the same cheap beer and pizza.
shareI'd give $1M to charity and save the rest. I've never been the type of guy to spend money on things that aren't a necessity.
shareBuild my dream house, with a pool and slides, a gravel tennis court, basketball and football field. A home cinema. A pool table. A playground for my nephews and nieces. All my favourite art on the walls, jack vettriano, edward hopper, beksinski paintings. A bar in the basement and by the pool. A collection of all the movies and tv series and comics I like. A couple of dodge challengers. I think this would cost about 10 million.
shareI would set up my own physics research lab in collaboration with a major university.
shareI would become much, much more reclusive than I already am. And that's really saying something, as I am quite reclusive already!
shareI would ... relax. It would be nice to not worry about finances in the future, and work has been iffy these past few years and low paying. If I had $10M, I'd seek financial advice, upgrade my life a little, spread a little around, and thank my lucky stars.
Btw, a really good professional NHL hockey player currently commands around $10M a year, far below what other star players make in other sports. Of approx 700 players, at least 34 who are signed makes $9.0M or more in salary in a year. That's out of the top 50 and at least one other guy will likely join them when the season starts.
