Scully Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Just heard on the news that Paul McCartney is thought to be worth around £820,000,000. What would you do with that amount of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 In Paul McCartney's shoes, I would get a better hair dye and retire, to spare the public more embarrassing performances from this has-been. If I had the money, I would consider donating a mega fortune to charities such as the RSPCA and then quickly dismiss that dumb idea. I would distribute a very sizeable chunk to friends and relatives. I would know where the money was going and to a good cause, unlike a new Roller for the charity CEO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 You can't do anything with that money, after about 3-4 million it becomes monopoly money. But I will say this, he has always lived in this country and always paid his tax. Unlike many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 buy land, a nice lump in the east for wild grey partridge, a couple of lumps in Scotland for red and black grouse, a lump in yorkshire for driven pheasant, another lump in yorkshire to breed foxes on and exercise hounds. Oh and a big lump of prime arable to just let go wild and see what happens. might need an overdarft aftre all of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord v Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 (edited) A few Ha's of land somewhere - Get a good bit of forest, arable, wetland in there. The odd stream or two. A quarry would be good. Build my own house with workshop. Some staff to do the boring cleaning bits. Custom .308 and shotgun. An under lever 30-30. Flat in London for filthy weekends away. Old LR Defender or a willys Jeep ... or both. A proper African Safari. A chunk to Amnesty International. Struggling with the rest! Edit: a whole chunk of land in Maine for hunting. Build a lodge up there and spend a few months every year over there! Edited May 11, 2018 by Lord v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Big donation to the two angling associations which I am a member of, ditto shooting assoc. Money to pro country sports organisations also. Cancer charities also would not be forgotten. Some to family including education Trust for grandchildren. Blow some on quality shooting and game angling and there would still be an embarrassing amount remaining. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac the perimeter so I could take my lambo and bikes up and down the ranges I've dug out and put up a nice log cabin.
