Wicked Rich

227. 76 Million after Tax

So what if I do win?  Someone has to win at some point.  What would I be doing with my 227.6 Million bucks?  Well, let’s see.  I would spend it of course.  I’m a single dude, no kids, or real family.  I could do the redneck millionaire thing without a lot of trouble.  So...

First I would plan to spend it over ten years.  I’m no Spring chicken either so let’s get on with it.

10 years = 22.76 Million per year     

So, follow me....not bad money.  Slightly more than I make now.  Let’s take a look at the essentials for year one and approximate costs.
