    Put it in a high interest account, live off the interest and every so often give to my favourite charities and treat myself. But as britishguy says it isn't really a lot nowadays - about GBP £500k, which might buy you a nice house but not much else.

    Before I'd probably buy a bunch of junk and waste it. For some reason people think it would be hard to blow a mil. It's been proven that most people will blow money they get unless trained how to make money work for them. You see this all the time with lotto winner. I think the statistic is like 75% of lotto winners end up back where they started in 5 years. Regardless of how much money they've made. For this reason I'd buy assets like real estate and start some businesses. I'd set aside a certain amount to have fun with but the rest would be all investing.

    First I'd buy the car of my dreams - a '57 Thunderbird. Then, invest the rest.

    Agreed!



    That's why I'd invest it in a business (not sure what yet) so it'll grow into more millions :p buying a house is such a waste.

    I'd invest the vast majority of it.

    Wouldn't bother buying a house ... that would use most of it up to get a house in the UK.

    Property is a good investment, for example my brother brought a house for £280,000 around 14 months ago, hes just had it re-mortgaged so he can buy another two and its worth over £370,000, this in the North London area. A £90,000/$180,000 rise in a year is pretty good don't you think?
    The increase in property prices in some parts of London is huge, and investing in property is still far better than bonds and high interest accounts imo.

    Well you could just take a mortgage out on 10 properties and lease them out, no need to pay cash for the houses :)

    Of course, the trade off is that you are risking more.
