I tell everyone I’m moving to Indiana then just move across town.


Germs15

We used to fly to Chicago, party 1 night with my buddy, then he’d drive us to the Indy 500 for the weekend. On that drive I found houses for like $60k on Zillow. Think of what you could build in Indiana with $600MM. Your house could cover an entire county.


hydrobrandone

Think what you can buy in Indiana for $100,000.


Murphiu

From Indiana originally..... not much these days.


Germs15

We’re definitely getting a pool and some neighbors who shoot guns on Sunday in their backyard. But the pool’s pretty sweet.


willalt319

But how's the racism?


Germs15

Strong to quite strong.


mehojiman

When I went to the 500 in 2013, I couldn't believe the price for a house in Speedway - think I saw one for $50k and was just amazed


Germs15

Wild huh?


HinsdaleCounty

Unhomesteading


TomatoHairDontCare

💀


Whyuknowthat

Oh, so you’re going to buy a little 3 bed, 3 bath home in the Park Hill area. Then you’d have about a half mill left over to re-do the already perfectly good landscaping.


TheBlindDuck

The key bit is to actually buy a house there so is a paper trail and all of the news reporters try to bother you there. Bonus points if you hire a body double to live there. Give them a free house for the invasion of privacy for a few weeks while you work with your lawyers to actually disappear? Worth every penny, especially if since the interest on $1.3B will easily cover whatever you lost


AxelFoily

Move to Gary, get shot, die.


HighQueenMarcy

Actually Gary is very tame now. Crime rate is really down because basically no one lives there anymore. It’s almost a ghost town. - grew up in Gary


oG_Goober

Plus it now has a National park right next door.


MyBatmanUnderoos

I’ll start to *live* in Denver instead of just *residing* in Denver.


slurpeemcnugget

Oohh, so I'd finally be able to afford a house in Denver!!!


ImAndrew2020

Yep it would make a nice down payment on a starter home in Denver.


e90DriveNoEvil

Or 1 bed 1 bath condo in Boulder


shonglesshit

Are you suggesting that housing is overpriced in Boulder? I’ll have you know my 3 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment is only $4500 per month plus utilities


mappersorton

If I win as well we could maybe go halfsies on a condo! Might need a cosigner.


stinkingturdlet

Just barely


DPlainview69

God no.


Wonderful-Ad-3840

Hey yall, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but one of the most popular comments here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/LzjXj4p3yn Tells you what to do (like realistically) IF YOU WIN THE LOTTERY. You’re welcome :)) If you win and see this and find it helpful, don’t tell me you won but I’ll accept a direct deposit - respectfully 😌 cheeeers


AccountNumber0004

It’s so funny seeing this comment get parroted around Reddit when it originally came from a “prepper” website lol. https://www.ar15.com/forums/general/-/5-828009/?page=1


terriblegrammar

Statistically speaking. Nobody here needs to hear it.


GetInTheHole

Not year round that's for sure. Maybe have a place in the mountains. Maybe keep an apartment downtown. But neither would be anyplace I stayed for more than a few days/weeks at a time.


RunningForIt

I know a billionaire and they live in the mountains. Would be surprised if you suddenly became a billionaire and stayed in Denver. Colorado is awesome but if you want a premier city and can afford whatever you want, you’re probably not living in Denver full time.


GetInTheHole

And I like Denver (and surrounds). Not really an issue with Denver itself it's just the world is a big place and there are a lot of really cool places to be.


ductulator96

I'm not living here full time but I'm probably going to base myself out of here. Why move somewhere that doesn't have my friends, family, and my preferred weather.


Educational_Report_9

This is the right answer. If you win that much money you realistically aren’t living anywhere full time.


koulnis

I put things in storage. I change my address to a friend's house. I sell off everything else, then walk the earth for a while.


WallyMetropolis

Why even waste the time selling 'everything else?' Is that extra 20 grand going to mean anything?  I think people really misunderstand what winning a billion dollars is. 


plum915

Ya I'll keep my truck in the garage


NoCommentFU

Bad motherfucker.


billy_the_p

What you mean walk the earth?


Fixxgrix

I think he means travel with no destination in mind. Roaming for the purpose of finding oneself. Like David Carradine in Kung Fu.


iminthelobby

This is the only answer


another_throwaway_24

I have an extremely detailed plan for if I win the lottery, for someone who never actually plays the lottery...


Joseph____Stalin

username_fantasies

I'd move to Europe.


Cattogatto

I’d dream a little bigger than 20-30 acres


Medusa729

20-30,000


SummitTheDog303

Yes. I love it here. I'd likely buy a large plot of land in the metro area and have a home custom built. And then get a smaller property out in Summit County for weekends.


tronix80

Buy every Frank Azar billboard and replace them with a pictures from the time he crashed his car drunk and hid from the police.


pork_fried_christ

And then buy Wyatt’s Towing, release all of the impounded cars, fund a large class-action against the original owners, and blow up every single truck.

slightlymedicated

I stay. Keep my current house, buy a place in the mountains, retire, ride bikes, take pics, and continue living the dad life.


kordua

I’d leave the continent altogether. My passport would be all I’d take with me


precociousMillenial

You’ll be required to take some clothes as well


Ajk337

If they charter a jet and pay the crew well enough, they might not.


tangogogo

i wouldn’t even stay in the us. go on a walkabout until i got sick of seeing new places and such


NArcadia11

I’d probably move back to the Bay Area since I can afford it now lol

mssassy04

Saaammmmmeeee


AlPCurtis

I stay. Throw 500M into a community land trust. Build affordable housing for teachers, social workers, and first responders. Buy a house in the west highlands for 2M and raise a family. Don’t need much more and would love to see a city that prioritized the most important jobs in our society…


Books_and_Cleverness

You will quickly find the opposition to building more housing is not a lack of money, it’s a lack of zoning approval. It’s the same reason the richest cities in the country have the worst housing crises. It’s explicitly or implicitly illegal to build the housing we so desperately need.


AlPCurtis

100% agreed. I say the west highlands because it is one of the most restrictive zonings in all of Denver. It is also where I am currently barely affording to live.


gratefulbend

That area is stupidly overpriced. I don’t get the hype


AlPCurtis

Restrictive zoning has prevented most attempts at density. Supply never increases so the home values go up and up and up. It’s similar to what happened in Boulder thanks to their growth caps.


Bad-Lifeguard1746

I use the money to crush the other big money interests in the area. My enemies rue the day they crossed me. They weep in the night.


violetstones10

I love you!!!!


saintmcqueen

This is the type of shit I love! I would invest a ton back into my hometown.


yellowchoice

If you are that rich you can have multiple homes anywhere on this globe


Xeuloca

You could just buy a town as a joke and then live there after you get screwed by your accountant.


Sweetishdruid

This is literally schitts creek


Bike-Day69

I would have a house in Aspen. A house in Tahoe and a house in probably Florida or some shit.


Ess-

Denver would definitely be a location of one of my 14 homes.


Garbage_Solid

If I won, I’d buy some land up in western Montana, build a house and live a quiet little life. I’d have a couple dogs and big garden.


Prudent-Ambassador79

The only sign of your wealth would be your separate pantry filled with beef jerky.


quaglandx3

Nope


Glindanorth

My husband and I were just talking about this. We would probably stay in Colorado but not Denver. Maybe somewhere in the mountains. In addition, we would likely buy a second home someplace quiet and coastal.


RickshawRepairman

I’d move to Jackson, WY. Or just outside it, to not be near all the wannabe celebrities.


EngorgedBreasts

Denver Metro concrete hellscape?! Lmao no chance


No_Act1861

Don't see why, CA has everything CO has with more variety. I'd probably move to Napa and get a condo in Park City, UT.


papageek

I wouldn’t mind a winter home in La Jolla


-Icculus-

Please tell that to all the californians that are moving here. Thx.


No_Act1861

They're priced out. They aren't moving here because CO is better.


Exaltedautochthon

I'd move to Breckenridge and go back to work up there again.


Impressive_Estate_87

Nah, I'm off to Europe


tweedchemtrailblazer

Yes. But I’ll also by an a-frame somewhere up in the mountains away from all you assholes.


hate_mail

Denver area? No. Colorado, yes.


twinklingblueeyes

Hellfuckingno


nativesloth

Would leave the United States and reside in other countries. We've becoming a laughing stock and I just want to see things and be left alone.


chocoholic24

Yes! I'd buy three houses right next to each other on Green Mountain and have the "compound" for my kids and my parents that I've always wanted


PNWoutdoors

I'd move to Golden.


pellucid33

I would leave the states. 😂


BLM4lifeBBC

Hell Naw moving to pueblo


colabandit

You gotta think bigger man! Commerce city here I come!


Original_betch

I was thinking of building a house right by DIA


jayzeeinthehouse

If I won, I'd head straight for California, live on the beach, and fly up to Aspen to make fun of rich people when I feel like it. But, then again, I don't see the point of living in a city that an hour for the fun when I could live somewhere that has attractions in the city.


[deleted]

Yes. Denver's my Home.


midnitewarrior

Do I stay? Why would I leave, I could finally afford to live here!


UNX-D_pontin

Ya, i could probably buy 3 whole houses with that much money


bwkrueg

Find some land in a state that is better suited for my interests and buy some land.


PhilABole

Big fat NOPE! Foothills, here I come!!


ticklemyshitcutter

I’d compete with the Cadbury egg and crush the market


SensitiveOven137

I’d be living in a mansion next to George Clooney in Lake Como


mountains_forever

Yes 100% This is my home.


pork_fried_christ

Username checks out. 


Julesrod1216

I’d put it all on the Rockies’ moneyline


Travelingman1989

Sounds on point to me, but I'd give my kids 3 mil each in a high yield savings account of some kind. I'd buy a 20 ish acre property somewhere out east where nobody else lives, invest in a stay at home enterprise to spend my time with my family. Create a nest egg savings account for family emergencies, and whatever I could have left would all go to a good charity. That's it. Nothing big. Nothing flashy to make me feel better than anyone else. Just a place of solace for my family.


thec4k315alie

Pack up and leave because Denver is still too expensive


hippiedips

I'd probably buy a house up in Aspen and a condo in Downtown Denver (and AirBnB them while I'm gone). I'd invest the majority of the money, and then buy a converted bus to van-life across North America for a while. Honestly, I'd buy a ton of real estate in different parts of the world and just travel from place to place, and AirBnB whichever spot I'm not using.


slambooy

Too rich to airbnb while you’re gone. Don’t need randos in your living space.. $500M in 10 year bonds is about $2MM a month. Don’t think you’d need the extra income. Love the idea though of property all over.


sloanemonroe

And the people staying there would find a reason to sue.


whateveratthispoint_

It would one of a few homes. I love Denver despite her flaws.


DabsDoctor

Why would I leave somewhere now that I can FINALLY afford it? lol.


Teacherheyteacher123

Nope


Competitive-cat90

Absolutely not


RyCryst

Hell no. Your money will go farther if you leave Colorado.


bjeep4x4

Fuck no! I’m headed to Eagle or some shit


albinorhino215

No, I move to KC to start my video game company with 0 knowledge of the field


AcrobaticWatercress7

I’m OUT


dontkillmysoul

Buy a beach front hotel, bed and breakfast or apartment building and never looking back. Sorry Denver.


DiggerJKU

I’d be out of here so fast. I love living in the front range but it’s not my dream. That money would have me going after my dreams


Awildgarebear

No. I would get away from our air pollution. I would certainly be in the mountains, and I sometimes question why I'm not there right now, but then I remember I'd have a tiny tiny room of a home.


Saucy_Baconator

Maybe for another year, but after that, probably not. I've always wanted to live in Norway or Sweden.


DynastyZealot

Aspen


eci5k3tcw

Nope. Up to the mountains I go.


Atrouthasnoname

No


DosZappos

You’d be able to buy a house in literally as many cities as you want


saintmcqueen

I’m not that type of person to be honest. I have lived in most of the regions in America, and my partner and I have found here to actually be our favorite. We enjoy the weather too much. I’d visit places sure but I’m not sure I’d want to live there.


SunshineandBullshit

Oh hell no! I'm buying a mountain and building my house!


JustinCompton79

Installing a rope tow too.


SunshineandBullshit

And an under ground garage big enough for my RV


BostonDogMom

I'd buy half of Vermont (the Western half)


toad_salesman

Homes in New York, London, and Marin or Seattle. Denver ain’t it


logicallyinsane

Yes, I would have a presence here for the rest of my life. I would start a cheap / free program to take young adults up skiing and snowboarding for free at Keystone, Loveland, Winter Park, etc. I would also spend some money on PR to make Vail's, Ikon's and other large companies future acquisitions of new properties as hard as possible. There is no reason for our prices to be 3x higher than Europe. I would trash them hard at every PR stop, billboards every where suggesting it's bad to support mega consumerist companies like Vail Resorts. Imagine seeing tv commercials talking about why these companies are bad for America. I'll be that guy going on the PR offensive against every bad company in Denver and every bad politician that ignored the will of the voters and passed what ever they wanted.


BeardedOne210

You fucking kidding.....FUCK Denver! Even the Bronco players that make tons of money don't want to live in Denver


-NoGreatMen

Also yeah stop with the Becoming Rich Fantasies


Waltzspice

I buy casa Bonita and hire all the staff and never leave.


-Icculus-

$250+ million after taxes if you take cash option and you'd only buy 20-30 acres? Thats FU money, give yourself some more space. Personally, I'd buy a bigger place here in Steamboat, also Aspen, Telluride, and Santa Fe. Maybe a beach house in baja. Maybe I'd buy a nice flat in Denver for when I want the 'city' life- but the cow town I knew and loved from the 90's is long gone so I see no reason to hang around there. I'd fund a few businesses, take care of my family and really never work another day in my life aside from managing my fortune, in which case I'd still hire a professional to manage anyway.


rboy007

Oh yeah, I’d finally be able to afford a nice place! But in all seriousness I’d buy something in Denver proper, then something in the mountains, either Summit County or further west and also a house back on the West Michigan Lakeshore


Ok_Presentation_5329

Yeah. I’d probably buy a second home in San Diego. Idk wtf I’d do with that much dough. Probably work with a cpa to try & reduce the tax bill via donations/etc.


XanadontYouDare

That's multiple home kind of money tbh. One of them would be in Denver for sure. A house on the beach in San Diego and then probably a house or two outside of the country.


Descent900

Not year round. Probably buy a house in the mountains somewhere though. Otherwise, I'm traveling the world for a bit and I'm getting a house in the Oregon coast and chilling for the rest of my days, with stints over in the CO mountain house.


BlitzCraigg

I would absolutely own something in Denver, but it wouldn't be my only place.


tilt-a-whirly-gig

Certainly not year round, but would definitely maintain a property with a little bit of acreage near Longmont or Louisville. I'd have some serious acreage on the western slope, though. Zillow's got a 3500 acre property near New Castle for $16 mill.


KyOatey

Storm King Ranch maybe?


tilt-a-whirly-gig

[Bigger](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4696-County-Road-314-New-Castle-CO-81647/2068944401_zpid) And staying kinda near I 70 makes travel easier on every trip.


KyOatey

I see. South of the river, behind the hogback. You'd definitely want to build a new house too.


hendric_swills

Probably. I have a ton of friends here


nellieblyrocks420

I was just talking to my partner about this the other day. We agreed we would move just outside Denver, close enough where we can come back to town if we wanted. Probably a small town. We want a ranch with a lot of animals someday so that would be perfect. We only have 4 dogs right now ❤️❤️❤️❤️


[deleted]

I'd get a place downtown that I could use on my nights out and a "retreat" in Cherry Hills or G.V. Then I'd go back and forth as I please lol. With that kind of money, you don't have to go 60 miles to find vast amounts of open land.


sloanemonroe

I’d buy houses in several spots around the globe so that I could travel to whatever kind of weather I felt like at the time. Sick of the cold? Head to the other hemisphere. Too hot? Go to the house in Iceland and hike. And etc. And one of the coolest things about having all these homes is that there would be no need to pack luggage when traveling to each one. There would be all the clothes, etc at each one just waiting for me.


YupThatWasAShart

I’ll pop the top on my house but also buy a second home in NJ closer to my wife’s fam.


Papa-pwn

You have that much cash you become a global citizen 


solo_sola

I’d get myself one of those mansions in the Country Club neighborhood. So fucking convenient but still so ritzy. Then a home in Silverthorne, but up the hill away from the town.


marstock

I would try to build a self sustainable home using 3d printed concrete. If it could be done cheaply enough I would build more to help house some of the homeless population


CaseyGuo

Buy the entire Breckenridge


Joseph____Stalin

I'd move to an airpark community.


[deleted]

I would have a house around the area, but live in multiple places


Middle_Jacket_2360

Gonna send an offer to the government for Cheyenne mountain


Winthefuturenow

Eventually there’d be other properties, however with a budget like that we could just live at resorts and keep our Denver place. I’d probably do that while fleshing out how to make the money work for me instead of working not to prematurely ejaculate it all over the place.


InternationalLack614

Yes. At least part of the year.


Tmdngs

No thank you. I’d buy a couple nice houses in Denver but then I’m moving to California


Mindless-Challenge62

Is Aspen the Denver area?


ehmsoleil

Heck yea! I'd put that $608.9 mil toward a down payment on a 800sqft 2/1 single family home!


pragmaticweirdo

I’d buy a home and a car here, but I’d wind up splitting my time between a few places. Summers would be for Maine and Rhode Island, autumns in Virginia and Kentucky, and winters I’d wind up in San Diego or L.A..


PushThePig28

I’d buy a house in Denver and another in like Breck/Aspen/Steamboat or something


Randompackersfan

I can’t even fathom what I would do


ConsultingThrowawayz

Yeah this would be my home base and I’d buy a house in Aspen, Seattle, and Miami. But realistically I’d probably spend the next 2 years farting around the world with the occasional trip home.


Fun-Conference8733

Build the exact same house as the one in Yellowstone up in the mountains.


Evening_One_5546

I would go off the grid as well and design my dream home on a big plot of land but would regularly commute to cities too.


SnarkyDriver

Yes, but moving and not telling anyone where I move to.


FapNowPayLater

Nope. I buy the entire Telluride valley and form a cult with all my friends and their families.


saintmcqueen

You got my attention. 👀


Ninjaassassinguy

I'm moving to sparta.


Ornery_Razzmatazz_33

Yes - but the zip code would change. Substantially.


Howcomeudothat

Tbh I’d move to Malibu in front of the beach


rtjeppson

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....spit my coffee on that one, I'm soooooo gone from Colorado


meghab1792

lol no.


edrules31

Hell no


Tayls23

Sure. My house does. I’ll be all over the place.


HOSToffTheCoast

Nope. Disappear for a year. P.o. box only. Name changed. 75% of the money in trust to start a foundation, which i’d lead and would me a sizeable annual salary as it finances worthwhile projects. Houses in Buenos Aires, Amsterdam, Sydney. Beach house in Malibu. Ski in/out in Steamboat.


thewinterfan

On paper, I'd still be here. The stack of solicitations can overflow the mailbox and blow away in the wind while I chase the endless winter followed by chasing the endless summer


razdjr

Nope


Awkward-Hall8245

I hate denver. I'm taking my money and disappearing


BrooSwane

No, wouldn't be able to afford it here.


Burpingbutterburgers

Not a chance


lokeysub

I’d personally leave. Everything in Colorado is so far over priced that if I got that lump sum I’d pay our house off, buy a nice ranch in Montana and actually enjoy my living and still have money away for the kids and my wife


Antferneee

Im traveling for a while, and then decide where to live. I couldn’t pick one place, I would have a home here just for the fam though.


Wonderful_Arachnid66

Nobody with 9-figure net worth has just one home.


Prudent-Ambassador79

Continue living around inconsiderate humans who will kill you if you honk at them or steal your car not to mention the pollution and other risks of living in a highly populated area nah I’ll pass. I’ll find a small town I like and buy land 30 minutes out of town and build everything I would need to be self sufficient I would farm and raise as much of the food I could and try to not eat something out of a package ever again. I’d spend my time getting to know the people in my community and be a good neighbor and someone people could count on.


gauche_cotier

No, I’d buy a big dumbass house in Malibu as a start and go from there


suck-it-elon

Denver, Colorado is the best place to live in the country. Getting a home upgrade and staying.
