Say you won $100 million USD post-tax. What would you do with your new found wealth?

Quietly pay my debt, put aside enough to retire comfortably, a little to buy a decent house and some cool cars and vacations slowly as I can come up with justifications for why I could afford them, and then donate the rest to charities, likely very established ones that can handle that kind of thing gracefully, I really don't want to make it my life's work to vet charities or worry about the people I hired to do it. Might be cool to set up a small investment fund for cool videogame projects I want to see happen to their fullest.

I'm not telling a soul I won more than $500 in a lottery apart from a lawyer if necessary to protect my identity. I know my immediate family would be cool about it as long as I always paid for dinner, but who knows about others.

The more fun answer? That Yellow/black Ford GT that I see at car shows around here, a replica of the Bullitt Mustang, and an Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA. I'd also be a club member at the local track with my own garage in the paddock.
