There was a guy who won about 30 million take home winnings after taxes and he ended up broke within a couple of years.

$5 million mansion

$2 million in Ferrari Cars

$2 million in Charity and financial gifts for family, friends, acquaintances.

$2 million shopping spree for wife

$1 million in eating at fancy Restaurants

$5 million in Vegas gambling run

$2 million in traveling first class to exotic locations

$2 million in partying.

$2 Million shopping spree for himself

$1 million in fancy electronics.

$6 Million in bad investments.

$30 million should have set him for life, but instead he wasted it within a couple of years and ended up broke.

There's the problem. He should have done $3M for the wife and $1M for himself.

30 million 20 years. There has to be one year to just go crazy.

Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

Life's a game of mathematics, if you can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you.

For some reason, I read your post as, "30 million should last 20 years. To blow it in one year is just crazy."

I would blow thru it in no time. The first bad decision I would make is giving several millions to each of my friends Kentry, Dean, Alexander, Nelvin, Nathan, and Natasha. The next bad decision would be to spend all day at the Gulfstream Casino. Finally I would go broke and have to move in with my sister Babs, who is a beach bum.
