Hmm...
1) Give some to my parents
2) Quit my job
3) Look after my kids full-time
First thing i'd buy is a brand new home, where the kids and i would live, happily ever after...or until they grow up and wanna see the world

1. Make sure it was perfectly legit
2. Buy myself, my sister and my parents a moderate house each
3. Start a business to bring in a steady profit.

That ship lounge. Heck of an idea! Man, that would be a blast and make a profit surely.

I'm buying me one bitching r/c submarine, or Peter Madsen's Kraka?

And I'd travel a lot.
