I don't even need that much. I will be happy with 60k for a loaded C55.

Bah, dont buy a Saleen unless its the new S281 SC with 400 Horses, and the saleen supercharger. The SRT10 ram....mehh i guess, id personally get a F250 HD with the Powerstroke diesel, or a GMC 2500 Seirra Denali.

If it was my 300 mill I would be buying a house with a 20 car garage and a preivate race track including a rally super special stage (about 5 miles ought to do it).

Then I would buy:
Prodrive Subaru WRC gravel spec
Toyota TTE Corolla WRC tarmac spec
Ford Falcon BA V8 supercar
1987 (Turbo era) F1 car (with the BMW 1.5 litre 1000 hp engine)
1986 Audi quattro S1 sport Group B rally car
Mercedes ML55 with Kleemann SC kit (to tow the race cars around)
Audi RS6 Avant for the wife to take the kids to school
and a Peterbuilt semi trailer just for fun!

and the bonus of owning rally cars is that they are all road registered so can be driven on the open road too!



PS: BenzKid24 want to sendsome of that cash down to Australia, I'll even teach you how to 360 degree spin recoveries and other fun driving techniques.

Cheers

BenzKid, You might want to reconsider your vehicle choice "if" and when you receive the money. Seems I just read some where (I can not find the article, Improviz can you help me here, J/K inside joke) the number one vehicle of millionaires is the Ford F-150 anything else and you will just be considered "New Money" in any kind of social circle. It's not the money that make a millionaire truely wealthy. "New Money" is just tacky.

Just food for thought.

My Friends dad owns a F150 and he is the guy who invented the MAC Driver. Pretty badass, those things are so light.

Most millionaires in the US are relatively 'new' money. Myabe thats why so many of them drive F-150's. Anyway its his money and who cares what any one else thinks! Buy what you like.

Congrats. I would try to find an advisor you can trust and have them help you handle the money. Many people that have had money thrown in their lap have trouble handling it. A good advisor can make your money work for you and give you enough to have all the toys with out going broke. Perfect examples are lottery winners. You see the stories in the news all the time. They get the money and in a relatively short period of time they are worse off than when they started.

Anyway Good Luck

You guys should check out the book "the millionaire next door" it gives a lot of insight into wealthy Americans, how they created their wealth and how they live.

Benzkid- you are either an idiot or full of ****. Im not sure which one yet, but I cannot believe you are 25 and married. When you get your 1.2 billion, or 300 million, or whatever the amount is now I guess you can prove me wrong. Good luck.

Yes im 25 and been married almost 4 years come July 8th.And TRUST me when I say I understand about the money thing.1.2 Billion is ALOT of money.Im not 100% sure its going ot happen,and I shouldnt have opend my mouth about it,sorry.
here is the best way I can show everyone whats going on.
1-There are FOUR parts to this "Deal".
2-Each part is worth $1.2 Billion
3-There are FOUR parties that spilt each Part.
4-Our Family will get $300 million(Mostly my Uncle) on Each part.
5-Our Family total NET worth will be 1.2 Billion.
Thats the best way to show this.again its Hard pressed but "Meetings" have been in order and parties have been shiped to locations for reviews and contracts.
