I would start by buying health insurance for me and all 5 of my children and their significant others.That right there would take care of a big chunk of it with today's health insurance costs. lol. I would also buy each of my children a new house and car. I would buy myself a new house and buy several apartment buildings and hire people to manage them. I would pay cash for everything. I would go on a huge shopping spree and buy gifts for friends and family. I would fully redecorate my home and the homes of all my children. I would buy a house for my niece and I would go to school and pay off bills for my family and friends. You did say that the money couldn't be given as charity..but you didn't say we couldn't give some to friends and family, so I would do that as well. |

I would buy everything I could of value and resell it 5 years later after the stipulation wore off that any unused amount would be taken away. I would then take the money from my sold goods and put it into my children's (all 4) college funds and sock a little away for retirement. There is nothing more important to me than my children's future so there you have it. Now, if you are offering I would certainly like to take you up on it! |

You could still invest it and the amount of interest you gained couldn't be taken away in the 5 year limit.
Picking the most realistic answer is a bit silly seeing as how the question is unrealistic - the money wouldn't be taken away in 5 years.
So, invest the $5 million and make sure you have spent $5 of it by the time limit. Let the interest accumulate and keep growing.
I would buy stocks - you have "spent" the money, but essentially still have it if you choose to sell the stocks. Best way to vastly increase the money. |

I would buy numerous properties, using up all of my money within 5 years. After 5 years I'd wait for the opportune time to sell each individual property when the market goes up, then I'd have more than I started with. If you want an answer about what you would BUY, I would buy a house by the beach, buy a nice car, and put about 150,000 in the bank for college in a few years. Then I would put 15,000 in the bank for personal use and the rest, what is that like 850,000? I'd give away for the fun of it to see the reaction of people. |

haha, I think the question should be what wouldnt I do? I am very creative and you might like whats allready popped up...I would definitely have to hire someone to document every minute, when do you get an oppourtunity to make 5 years worth of dreams come true? Even if I had to go back to poverty it would be lovely memories to tell the grand kids! |

My choices would be in real estate and rare/classic cars. That way the money will be spent and whatever money earned can't be taken back since you never specified that in your question. |

If I didn't have any other income I'd use it for all my necessities. (Food, house, clothes, gas for my car.)
I know I would do something cool with it too, like redo my house or something. Make it the way I've always wanted it.
Repaint it amd same new ferniture. I'd get a pure bred chocolate lab female puppy. : ) Buy a new truck for my boy friend and myself. I'd pay my way through college and not have to pay off a callege loan. If by any chance I'd have any money left I might concider giving some to my parents. MAYBE! |

Seriously, I'd buy and decent house.. Not crazy or anything but so I'd be very comfortable. I'd get a reliable new vehicle and give maybe 100k a piece to each of my 4 siblings plus 100k to my parents. I'd pay all four years or more for each of my 3 kids to go to college and invest some into stocks (If thats allowed)
I'd buy a handful of houses and apartment buildings, renovate them all and after the time was up, I'd rent them out. I'd also purchase a lot of land to have as a marketable investment later in life. probably buy my kids house for when they get older. Then i'd open a homeless shelter and help some people get back on there feet (You never said we couldn't do that) |

I'll make sure everyone in my family is taking care of. Buy a house that can accommodate people in my family in case they come and visit and pay it off. Travel. Honestly, 5 mil is not much if you want to buy a huge house and travel at the same time. Don't forget I have 7 sisters and brothers not to mention nieces and nephews. |

No living off the interest, fine. I would put it all into the stock market. I would buy up shares in telecommincations, insurance, Medical, Oil and transportation. |

IN the 5 years period I would purchase 5 large apartment buildings worth 4 million each, putting 25% down ( 1 million ) on each. My cashflow from each building will probably average around $10,000/mo. Therefore after 5 years I would have a cashflow of about $50,000/mo plus I would have over $5million in equity. |

You don't say you can't donate any money if they are not religious organizations. I would donate to non religious organizations and help people directly like paying off their mortgages and also buy myself some property to have and to live on. |

Since it's free money you don't actually own it. You can buy everything but return would be 5mil. You can lose it as fast as you'd make it. I would buy a decent car and a decent wardrobe and get myself a better paying job. And at the end of the 5 years I would return the car and clothes. Nothing is worth anything unless you work for it. Greed leads to defeat. I already have everything that could make me happy. |
