After all of the taxes, charitable donations and money for family (taxed again). I'd set up a simple very low cost portfolio that should require minimal maintenance.

50% in tax exempt bonds (VWLUX). 30% in US stocks indexed (VTI). 10% in international stocks indexed (VEU). 10% in physical gold bullion as an insurance policy stored overseas. And finally enough money in cash or a near equivalent (VGSH) to live like a pharaoh for the next 20 years or so.

Step One, learn how to say NO.

That being said, I’m 62 and I have been afflicted with Leukemia for almost ten years.

I would spend the rest of my days giving away all the money.

My Oncologist will be the first guy I visit with a Check. If not for him, I wouldn’t be alive to buy the Ticket.

This Website would never need another FReepathon EVA!

Well, it’s fun to dream. LOL
