What would you do if you won $47 Million?

Is this $47M after taxes?

It's before. This shouldn't matter.

The point is I want to see what people actually do the following couple days. Do you just stay put? I think I'd be paranoid for a while. I'd want to leave the country asap.

What you do with the money isn't important right now, I just want to see how you would handle yourself and your wife/kids etc. if applicable.

whatever it would be, it wouldn't involve me writing letters and acting like a king addressing his subjects.

Why? Because it would be awesome.

First, I would put $30M in savings (I would do all af my investing after I get back from the trip outlined below). Second, I quit my job.

I would then send my fiancee and her sister to the European country of her choice. I would then gather up 2 friends to hit Vegas with for a week. After that, my friends get on a plane back home and I get on a plane to meet my fiancee in Europe. We tour all the big cities in Europe and eventually come back home.

I would work with my financial advisor to invest money in different places. Then I would begin opening my guitar shop.

OK thats a little longer than the 3 days after, but it's pretty much exactly what I'd do.

your post assumes that everyone you know would all of a sudden have to feel grateful just to be in your presence. While in all likelihood they might well feel this way, its a sh*tty way to behave.

I think there are ways to avoid the spotlight besides just getting out of the country. I'd probly quit my job (if I had one), head to vegas for a bit to party, then travel for some indefinite period of time until I figured out something I wanted to do, but in the immediate period following the big score, there would be much more celebrating, and many fewer contracts/loans.
