I would sell my house and build a house with a great audio room, man cave and 6 car garage or larger with a shop and then place a large order with Skip.
Put money in a trust for my kids and grand kids. Put money in a trust for my sister and my wife's brother and sisters.
Needless to say I would buy a few cars I've always wanted along with some other toys.
Set up a fund to help some people who really need a break in life.

This is pretty easy... Schedule an appointment with a financial advisor, put all of the money into a mixture of savings and investments accounts. Myself and my entire family could live off partial interest payments for the rest of our lives. The end.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

Unfortunately that's quite unlikely due to taxes and fees. Plus that $$ is accrued over 40 years. -
Bro, even if they took half and left with me at 62,500,000... A meager 2% which is just a standard savings account at this moment... Annual pay out is 1,250,000. After 40% tax rate, assuming max rate, that leaves 750,000 in net income a year.
Let's just hypothetically so the average person makes 65,000... That would equate to 11. 5 annual salaries and that's literally not trying to make money with your money.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

Where Are you getting 2%!?! Round here it's 0.5 if you're lucky. -
Plenty of places, looks like it's currently a little lower at 1.8 with the fed rate cut recently but still better than nothing
