This is an open type of question for the guys ... you're living in US or Canada and for some reason, you buy equity in a startup hedge fund, it goes gangbusters, and soon, you're getting residual income ranging from $500K to $3 million per year.

How would you structure your life afterwards?

Preferably in Bordeaux region with a nice little chateau. I don't need a castle ($$ heating bill $$!). Somewhere near a river or lakes for fishing is a bonus.

buy my own island in the caribbean or indian ocean. or at least lease one from some jerk who bought it for $50,000 in the 1970s.



invest in some affordable air-defense from moldova or wherever (to keep the NWO at bay)



while keeping my army of child warriors loyal with plenty of video games and classic cartoons



i'd spend a few years reading philosophy, learning to play the piano and impregnating my female staff before dying in a suspicious plane crash coming back from a trip to montenegro

Ah, Moldova doesn't have S-300 SAM for sale, you need to buy those from Russia.

Alternatively you can buy HQ-9 from China:



Or the cheaper KS-1A:



They're not effective vs. stealth planes though.
