Current Events > if you won 1bil dollars / euros, would you tell your family?

(+) Yeah! (+)

or keep it all by yourself?

I would absolutely tell them. All of my remaining immediate family would be getting at least $20 million each.

You know they'll be back in a few years asking for more because they blew it all on dumb shit

I'd take half, split a quarter between my parents, split a quarter between my brother and sister, and repay anyone who ever invested in my success.

And then I'd buy myself a decent house, new truck, and probably travel the world for a year or two.

Not for nothing, but you don't know my immediate family. Like, at all. You don't even know me. You don't know the kind of money we have right now or what we do with it. You don't know the kind of things we like to do or what we'd be doing if we had more money.
---

My family would probably get most of it. My sister in particular. She's the single mom with two kids.
---

Yes and rub that shit in their face

I concede these things are true

But unless you're already some trust fund baby used to affluence and having near-limitless spending money

20 million dollars is probably going to change you
---

Yeah I'd share it with them.

My family has money anyway, not anything close to a billion obliviously, but we're all engineers and doctors so I'd like to think we would be responsible with it.
---

I have no family, so.
---

Yes, I don't have a horrible relationship with them and $1b is more than enough to share (with immediate family).
For extended family . . . give very generous college loans* to their kids. Possibly invest in good business ideas. No free money. Break ties immediately with anyone that asks.
---

Yep
---

Just my immediate family.
---

CE: "I would invest it and only spend $200 on myself and family"
---

I'd tell them I won a much smaller amount of money.
---

Yeah, I'd give them several million each, then move somewhere else.
---

Yes. My immediate family is pretty humble and low key so i also would give them 20 million cut with the understanding that it should cover them for their life and their kids life.

Keep the half billion in the bank and play around and travel with the rest.
---

I wouldn't tell anyone. I would sell my house, change my number, and disappear to some island in the Caribbean.
---

No.
---

I buy an island and a satellite and live as the ultimate NEET hikokomori
---

"I won eight hundred ten million."
---

In this hypothetical, do people know i won?

If not yeah i would only tell my immedieate family and probably only give them a million each and maybe give them a little more christmas time and birthdays instead of giving them 20 million straight up.
---

i would probably give both of my parents a set amount every month and if they asked for more i would cut them off.
---

It would go directly into a family trust for tax/paranoia reasons, so yes.

Immediate family and best friends
---

Yes.

Only my girlfriend and my sister would be getting any of it though as far as family goes though (though I'd probably give some to my friends).

I just want to piss off the rest of them. :)
---

Move away.
Send them X amount to do as they will.
Cease all contact w/ family.
Live out my life in peace, no fucks given.
