Me too! Lovely to get the email, right?
I've been to Val a couple of times, loved it. So many positives, including not too bad for traffic being virtually the end of the cul de sac valley. With lively nightlife, which is unusual for France.

First thing I'd do is try and turn it into £250 million. One thing you realise when playing this game that nothing is ever enough!
But the basics -
£20m or so for family and close friends. That will be the tough one, where do you draw the line?
£30m or so into a portfolio of property, bonds, shares, etc. so that my children and grandchildren will inherit my wealth and its long-lasting. Employ my best mate accountant on a massive wage to manage it all
£65m into a Trust Fund. One of the things I've heard is that you get inundated with requests for money, so need somewhere to direct people to. Use the interest to pay out grants, and encourage other rich bods to pay into it. Core to this will be a grant scheme for people like I was, young scientists and conservationists starting out their careers and setting up their own field projects. Paying out grants will be more rewarding than just giving great big chunks to charity
£5m straight away into my own Foundation to set it up for the next decade
That leaves £3m which I guess I buy a house and car and school fees and live off for a bit. I couldn't not work for the rest of my life, but I'd have a couple of charities just waiting to be run, it would be fantastic
So it will never happen of course

EW: "Really?"
MS: "Yes really. I know we've had our differences, but it's all water under the bridge now isn't it? Would you like half a million to make your life just a little bit easier?"
EW: "God I'm so sorry about the past. And yes please, of course I would. You absolute angel."
MS: "Well go and get a better f**king job then" <clink>

Lol! I always said similarly I wouldn't hand my notice in...I'd pay my newly appointed Butler and chauffeur to deliver in my letter of resignation on a silver tray instead

Don't know about a cure but read the other day that its opposite is wrinkly.

I have a schizophrenic nephew, another with drink issues and a best friend with cancer. Money might not be the answer but at least I'd get them the best treatment money could buy
That sounds fantastic, but your life expectancy would be pretty short, so I guess you wouldn't be around to spend most of it.
Good question. Perhaps start with the idea that none of them are ever allowed to tell anyone else how much you gave them.

Perhaps slightly off topic but the people that say that they 'wouldn't let it change me.'
What's the ****ing point in playing then?
