If one makes the proper investments they can have multiple bitchin' pads, fast boats and planes to accompany the cars, and fast women and coca-cola to keep them hydrated indefinitely. Why blow your wad by running through 10 mil in a few months? Just play hard and work hard and work smart. Then snort hard for life.
Spoken like a true low T,Klinefelter syndrome,beta max.
Winning 10 mil isn't really enough to do much. I would invest and maintain status quo. Now if I won like $25 mil+, I would probably quit my job, travel a lot, and live off the interest.
You can most definitely live very nicely off of $10 million, even assuming we are discussing that figure as before-taxes. Buy a house somewhere nice but affordable for $500k, throw $1 million into stocks, $3 million into blue chip oriented mutual funds, another million into T bills and gold/silver. You'd have another 1.5 million or so just to live on as spending cash, so two thirds of that sits in savings collecting minimal interest. As long as you aren't living like a Hollywood tool, you'd be just fine.
