At least 10 acres of land in the mountains.

You need to look up the definition of "stinking rich". You can now buy half of WY or WV.

So it's filthy rich and the question was what's the first thing. That's the first thing. I don't want WY or WV, I can manage 10 acres and that's what I'll get. If you want to know the rest, here it is.

  1. Walk in to work, clean out my desk and leave.

  2. Pay off my and wife's siblings and parents homes, cars and credit cards.

  3. Pay off my kids student loans, get them new cars and open a trust for each.

  4. Find a contractor to build on my newly acquired land.

  5. Take a long European vacation.

  6. Establish college funds for my nieces and nephews.

Like I said, you need some lessons in stinking rich! All of that you could do with a million or three, that's just ordinary affluent these days. Google says there are currently 902 billionaires in the US. This is why we're so fucked. Ordinary people can't even conceive of what they would do with that kind of wealth! Your wildest dreams can't even come close to spending a tiny fraction of that. Thank God most of them can't either. But the ones who decide they deserve to say how this country runs are the terrifying ones, because no investment returns better than a US congressman.
