However some people do and a rare few of them win upwards of 2 to 300 million dollars.
For the sake of argument, lets say that you were left with $100,000,000 (£63,500,000) after taxes free and clear. What are a first few things you would do with it?
Well, I don't play lottery and this is for a religious purpose.
Playing lottery is a type of gambling (i.e. by which one loses or gains money), and gambling is prohibited in Islam.
But yeah, just for the sake of argument, here are some of the things I might do if had the said amount of money:
- Give most of the money as charity.
- Travel to other countries.
- Save some of them for my parents and brothers.
- Get myself a better car.
- Buy more books.
- Buy a decent house (but most likely wait I'll for that).
- Buy a better computer instead of having this old/slow Dell computer.
- And then save the rest for the future.
There are probably more things that I would do, but I don't know what lies ahead in my future, or what situations I may have to encounter, so I don't know for sure what I'm going to do with so much money. Also, I don't look forward to having a rich and luxurious life, and there's not much things that I want to buy for myself right now. That means I would have to find other beneficial ways to invest all that money.
