How to spend your record PowerBall winnings

With the US Lottery this evening rolling over at a whooping $500 million, the main question for the lucky winner will be ‘How do I spend all of this cash’? Instead of saving it for your kids, we’d like to provide a JamesList guide to spending some of your 500 million dollars.

Nº 1

First off, a west coast base close to Silicon Valley with plenty of nearby investment opportunities and with this view you can’t do better. $36 million taken care of already.

Nº 2

Next up is the classic vehicle to cruise round in. Nothing too overstated or flashy as no one likes a showoff (especially when you didn’t really earn it!) so we present a 1966 DB6 likely to set you back between $250,000 and $300,000.

Nº 3

To join that millionaire elite and truly consider yourself amongst the super-rich it’s the got to have super yacht. Having been aboard the Mia Elise a couple of years ago at the Monaco Yacht Show, this really ticks the box. Another $30 million taken care of.

Nº 4

To get away from all those new-found friends you didn’t have before, a private island escape is a must have. This island in the Bahamas, part of the Exuma chain, is perfect for your Robinson Crusoe childhood dreams. $85 million done.

Nº 5

With your property portfolio now spanning timezones, the private jet is a solution no half billionaire can live without. This Challenger caters to your every need and helps you get rid of another $21 million.

So with just 5 of these fine items already you’ve managed to get rid of nearly half of your fortune.
Who said ‘More money, more problems?’.
