If you won £1mil / $1.6mil

If you won £1mil / $1.6mil today, what is the VERY FIRST thing you believe you would do?

Buy an Aston Martin and Ferrari,
travel to Cuba to buy some fresh cigars
Complete my watch collection with the rest of the money

Hey Sly, now your talking!  Which Aston Martin? I LOVE the DB9 and we have a ton of great Cubian cigars in our humidor as I type! :)

You are a man of great tast! :top:

Hum, that's a good question!

I think that the first thing would be to take a month to think about what to do or not.;)

and that's a very wise answer :top:

LOL, thank you.:shy

I would recruit a team of 40 people (with 25 top engineers) and I would turn Expat.com into something BIG (and independent)

You are so boring Julien :P

Regarding Aston Martin I'd take the DBS Vantage Roadster if I get 1.6 & DB9 if u get only 1

that's the first thing I would think about.

Then I would buy the Aston Martin (also my dream car BTW) and go for a 6 months diving cruise around the world with my father. Which is kind of weird 'cause I wouldn't use the aston martin !

Not enough, need 10 mill

Ditto that!
But with a mil, I'd send the kids to boarding school for year and tour the world with hubby with the rest :)

I will (a) donate some percentage to an orphanage & needy (b) setup up a reasonable source of income for my family (c) seek admission in Harvard University or London School of Business

A million wont do.. But if I had some more, perhaps buy an island somewhere, and turn it into a resort and retire. :D

But with just a mil, I would just retire, and lounge around. :D

Not all its cracked up to be ;)

Absolutely - also, on some carriers FIRST class is significantly better than BUSINESS class - unfortunately, I have not yet witnessed that applies coming out of Riyadh (yet)!

Cattle class! Talking business class ;)

You'd find me retired living somewhere inexpensive and where I can spend my days surfing and diving.
