I'll buy a comfy small house in a rural area in maybe some country in western Europe.
Hire professionals to do my projects and travel around the world in my free time.
quit my job and go full time art....About it lol, I don't really have any big buys in mind at the moment... maybe buy/ pay off a house and a car so that I have no worries...I am a simple being.
Make sure all my bills & debts are taken care of, buy some land in the mountains, and seclude myself away from society. I'd go into town once a month to shop for food & essentials, and probably eat at a restaurant...
I'd tell him to stop using the "n-word" in all his movies...
I'm getting my own island. It'll be big enough for me and each of my team members to have their own house.
I don't care about money as much as I care about sharing my franchise with the whole world but... well I guess if I were rich I'd buy myself a very nice house (not necessarily a big one) and I'd also probably start collecting old videogames, comics, books, etc.
First, I'd spend some time writing letters. I'd put the letters in a safe deposit box in San Francisco, then taking the time to settle on a farm in the Midwest.
After getting married and having kids, I'd start telling them stories about the letters, but I would stop telling them the stories once they became teenagers. Once I'm old and on my death bed, surrounded by my descendants, I'd tell them that hidden within my novels are the secret to finding the letters, along with the key to my fortune.
I'd make sure to leak the existence of the letters and my impending death to the media, causing my book sales to skyrocket and for the value of my estate to increase in value as well.
Then I'd die with a smile knowing that within those letters are nothing more than the words, "Now people will remember me."
Give me like a hundred thousand bucks, and after debt and moving, I'd put half into investment, and the other half right back into the Quinlan Circle, which is in desperate need of good website design, artwork, and an actual social media presence. And I'd pay a year's salary to myself and just go ham on writing, like a book every month or something, just to beef up the Quinlan Circle's library bigtime.
I've lived for a few months writing full-time before, in between jobs. I was actually making a plan of how to make a living from that when I got accepted into the JET Program unexpectedly and moved to Japan. But in those months, I really did write tens of thousands of words a week across several projects. It was sort of wonderful, but I didn't have any income or savings to support myself, so it wasn't going to last much longer if I didn't run into a windfall. If I ever get that chance again, I'd really like to take it. $100,000 sure sounds like the right number to do that for me.
Wow, the world really would be a mess if the crap I created got super popular.
I would pay off all my bills, get a medical and mental health check-up, then put the rest in savings. Every month or so I would donate some to charities I like, and leave 200% tips to really good waiters/waitresses. If I was really well off I may sell my current place after fixing it up, then move out of the US to some place more quiet. Like the woods or a field with no neighbors somewhere in Europe. Help fund indie projects, buy stuff at artist alleys, maybe even go back to school and not worry about being hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
I say all this but in reality I would probably just give it all to my mom, we live together because I can't afford to be out on my own, and she has a lot of health issues. So her happiness is my happiness, if you know what I'm saying.
I'm a huge dork. Since this is a fantasy the first thing I thought of was "complete my manga collection with all the volumes I'm missing from series I only partially own".
We're daydreaming right? After doing all the practical stuff, helping my family and subscribing to all the Patreons I wish I could support, I'd spend a crapton of money on a ridiculous mansion with an enormous library and beautiful office for me to work in. My closet will be full of pajamas so fancy no one can tell if they're not just really eccentric clothes. Of course I'd need my house staffed like maybe with a personal assistant, cleaner, gardener, personal chef... Maybe a trainer? My cats can eat salmon and steak every day. I'll take a theater, ice skating rink, and pool on the grounds of my estate. Maybe a squash court too, why not? And throw parties (I'm thinking masked balls) and host board gaming events if I'm feeling social.
