No, winning $47MM should be understanded as the lotto, and also as thus being pre-taxed. I didn't really think it needed to be clarified, but when questioned way back on page 1 or 2, I gladly answered that it was pre. I'm sorry you can't read.

I can read just fine. Apparently you can't spell. Understanded? Try "understood" next time.

And why is it that winning $47 million should be understood as the lotto, why not the WSOP in 15 years? Or a bet with a drunken Bill Gates? Trust me, you make a thread with the title "What would you do if you won $47 Million?", your the idiot for expecting people to reply as if it was 13 million.

I think it's hilarious that $10K/year/family member is a disrespectful mouth-pissing if I won $47MM, but it's perfectly fine if I "only" took home $26MM.

10k/year isn't fine if you take home 47 million, just as it's not fine if you take home 26 million. Even in you gave your parents 3 million each, you still have 20 [censored] million left.

People are doing the wrong thing, in thinking the amount you give away needs to be proportional to the amount you took home. I think the amount I give away should be more regulated by how much it will change my family members. If this doesn't make sense, then let me clarify. If I won $2MM dollars take home, I would still stipend $10K/year/family member. As I would had I took home $200MM. I also said I'd go as high as $20K, but likely no more than that. Giving more than $20K to a brother or sister may make them think they can quit going to school or working, which could lead to big problems down the road.

So you'd win 200 million bucks and NOT allow your family members to never have to work again? WOW.

Let me repeat

No.

Simply put, if I won $2MM, and my family was fine with getting a free $10K per year, why would they not also be fine getting $10K per year if I won more than $2MM? Why do they "deserve" more? Just because I won more? That's silly and dangerous logic.

Nobody is saying their family members "deserve" a specific amount, they're saying that with 47 er, 26 million dollars, they would rush to give their families as much money as they could. Because they would WANT to, not because they have to. But, as this thread has shown, generosity is a concept that went over your head.
