I was reading about Goldman Sachs, the world's richest investment bank, who could be about to pay its chief executive a bonus of up to $100m (€72m). Mr Blankfein took home his biggest bonus so far in 2007, when he was paid $67.9m (€49m). I presume this is on top of his probably massive weekly wage.
The question I was wondering is; at what point in wealth would you consider yourself happy and satisfied for the rest of your life - and possibly anything after that is a waste of good money sitting in bank rotting away!
Never!
:saddowns:
Well if I had £10million then I could live on more than £100,000 a year for my entire life so that would be nice.
Never

Depending on what type of guy you are, that is.
I spend a ton of money on gadgets/cloths and junk food, so 100k for me wouldn't be enough, I know (I'm a greedy fuck)
I'd be happy with a six digit salary. You could live very comfortably on that (maybe not terribly extravagantly, but comfortably).
Id be happy with £40,000 a year? But id be a fuck of a lot more happy with $100m as a bonus!
If I were given £10m I would obviously have a spending spree and 1 ridiculous spend, something like a Lamborghini, then I'd secure my future by buying a nice house, sort my friends + family out and then invest the rest into something that would give me a nice pay off and then live off the interest and leave it to my kids.
My aunt is a millionaire, she has more money that she knows what to do with since she sold 1/3 of the business my uncle used to own before he died. She's constantly going on holiday and buying new cars, spoiling her children and grandchildren but she never helps anyone else, she bought my cousins, her daughters a new BMW X5 each for god sake! She's always bailing out my cousin's husband by bailing him out whenever his car sales garage needs it. She has more than enough money to pay off our mortgage, and her other sibling's mortgages or help out my other uncle who's struggling for cash but she doesn't, she's greedy and it's the money that did it and it's only since my uncle died.

That's pretty low, I know I may sound like I'm coming of rich but seriously, think bigger bro.
When I can buy the whole world! And few others as a spare if I decide to play global thermonuclear war.

40k a year? Mid-high level execs make more (In a month)

Your aunt sounds like a total bitch, no offense mate.

I'd invest in housing companies, there's a huge housing crisis in Britain at the minute and if someone invested in building properties now when the prices are down they could make A LOT of money in a few years when the prices go back up.
I dislike having to deal with money, so enough to support my hobbies would be more than enough.
When you run out of places to keep your money :v:
this goes into fast threads.
is a "post yours"
"Marry a Millionair" ad at the bottom.
rofles.
Enough to simply live out my life comfortably with lots of cool electronics and whatnot.
Enough to live a comfortable life. :| Where I just won't have to worry about bills. I don't really care if I have an expensive car or house.
When I don't have to worry about running out of money.
When i can buy Sweden.
Then I'm gonna get someone to dig a huge hole there, and make the entire goddamn country sink!
70000€ - 100000€ is enough for me, I don't want a big house or anything like that
As long as I wasn't in debt, I could pay my bills each month without fail, and can afford to get my family and I some nice things every now and again, I would be happy. I've never had large amounts of money, so I'd be fine without it.

Yup.
7 billion dollars every year so that I could give everyone a dollar every year until 2011
When you are content with life.

1 million bucks is enough to live off of for the rest of your life, you could easily live off of the interest.
When you are able to provide your children with a surrounding that enables them to grow up and live a good and productive life while maintaining yours the same.
To be as crazy as I'd want to be with the cash, $250,000,000.
Go crazy on a house, cars, boats even, sure, lets get a helicopter too, maybe buy a bar somewhere. Whatever's left once I get bored, bank for interest.
