If I won $10 billion in the lottery I would:
Claim the prize anonymously
Not tell *anyone* except a trustworthy lawyer/accountant
Buy a $750,000 condo in southern New Hampshire (no income tax or sales tax)
Buy a small $500,000 condo on the Upper West Side of Manhattan
Buy a $750,000 condo in/near Naples,Florida
Buy a Porsche Panamera
Fly Business Class on any flight over two hours
Eat top quality sirloin and prime rib regularly

Among the many things I would *not* do is buy a $300 million yacht...or even a $300,000 yacht.

The two happiest days of a boat owner’s life:

The day he buys it.
The day he sells it.

You had me until you said condo in Manhattan…

Buy a small $500,000 condo on the Upper West Side of Manhattan

Not only would I NOT do this, I would not even visit the state.

No need to buy a mega-yacht. Simply rent/lease what you want for ever how long you want it. The interweb is full of yacht rental deals. And use an anonymous name.

“Buy a small $500,000 condo on the Upper West Side of Manhattan”.

Boy, I don’t think there is such a fish, besides you are buying in Southern New Hampshire to avoid income and sales tax but buying in Manhattan where the taxes say hello to the sky?

No no no no.

A boat, any boat regardless of size or shape is nothing but a hole in the water that you keep dumping money into. I’m sure Suckerberg is quite aware of his filthy “carbon footprint” but he doesn’t care. He’s a liar, a hypocrite and the worst of the worst. All while scolding everyday Americans that their lawnmowers, cows, gas grills and gas powered vehicles are THE SINGLE REASON why our planet is sick

Nah. He’s very sick, as are most “climate change” Nazis

From Perplexity.ai:

Current public portals show that the low end of Upper West Side condo asking prices is roughly in the high‑$600,000s to low‑$700,000s for smaller one‑bedroom or studio units, with most condos priced well above $1 million.

Suggest you either get a straw buyer, or stay at hotels, preferably under an assumed name, paying cash.

If New York finds out that you are sitting on a pile of cash, and that you have any connection with the city at all, it WILL find a way to grab some of it.

I would give my money to support animal rights groups
a vast number of animal rescue groups
about 10 acres for personal food production
and a 100-foot indoor target range
a modest motor home
Just to name a couple of reasonable thingies
