What I'm asking is, what would anyone do with it, and why? Of course, I already have £1million, and with it, I bought a monkey. And cheese. A monkey who eats cheese.

Convert it to US dollars. After that I'd invest to make more money. Then I would use it for a presidential run. :)

I like pounds. Their exchange rate with my currency is very close to one :)

I would by bunch of useless things, then travel around the world for a year. Afterwards I would invest 300k pounds in my new consulting company and 300k punds invest in stocks and see what turns out

I'd buy a normal house, a Jaguar XKR, put the rest in a saving account and live off the interest.

I'd buy a nice little house somewhere not too close to anywhere else, arrange it so I could live off the interest on the remainder, then get a part time job doing something worthwhile or interesting. Maybe working in a library or something.

Probably buy a few toys for myself and my friends, too.

I'd get it changed into €. Then I'd leave that on a bank account so I'd have more money to spend after I get out of Uni.

Drop out of school and buy some land for a permaculturist eco-village, build the village, live there. Rock it up.

Why not buy an old castle and fix it up? Probably cheaper.

new idea: build (relatively comfy) ashram/commune, go live there with whoever wants to join, grow own food, not have to worry about money or stress ever again :)

Lets see since I am in the US it would be a nice windfall first of all.. so I would first hire an immigration lawyer to get my darling dear home... then I would buy a house(something modest), set up a college fund for my boy, Give some cash to my family to do with as they pleased....*ponders* keep the rest in the bank....I like seeing a big savings accnt :D

I'd put it in the bank and let the interest collect while I finish college...then after I've got my degree, I'd take a year to travel around Europe...see the sights...

that's about 1.5 million €

put in bank. Use it as collateral to get more money from the bank. Buy several thousans square metres of land and build a few blocks of flats. Sell them at a reasonable price. Still making a good profit. Start again and build more blocks, sell'em and reinvest again.
