What Do You Do With Large Amounts Of Money? - lemm.ee

Suppose you win 100 million. What do you actually do with it? Banks only guarantee 250,000. Do you have to invest it? Is there anywhere you can just let it sit and draw interest?

You pay somebody to deal with it.

Mixture of types depending on your goals. CDs, Bonds, Stocks, etc.

You can just open more accounts also.

When you have enough to live well for multiple lifetimes, it always perpexes me when people fixate on makkng more.

You won, go enjoy hobbies you can easily fund now, this is just hoarding at this point.

Let’s say you have $100,000,000 dropped in your lap. You now never have to worry about needing money ever again, which in our current society means you don’t need to worry about a LOT of problems.

So it’s natural that most people want to preserve that security, the best way to do that would be to invest the money in a way that it grows equal to, or faster than you will spend it.

You can just get it all in cash and stuff it under your floorboards, but there’s a non zero chance that the money will be physically destroyed or stolen from a disaster.

You can stick it in a bank, but you have very little protection for the bulk of that money from the government insurance.

So the smartest thing to do is to spread that money out to investments that will grow that money in a diverse way to protect your newfound security.

Once that is set up, you create a will (or trust) to handle the money when you are dead. Who gets to benefit from your windfall once you’re gone?

Then you have complete freedom to live your life how you want to.
