Man, if I won $315 million, not only would I still have it in hand, but very few people would ever see me again. I'd just flat up and disappear to a castle hidden within a remote Western US mountain range. Supplies would be flown in via helicopter.

At that point, I would be so rich as to transcend politics like the old money Mayflower yuppies of New England: Who cares about politics when the system works just fine ... at least from the ultra-rich perspective.

Why John Kerry thinks he needs to be a Senator is beyond my comprehension, at least for me considering his position. He's got everything he could possibly want, so he must be pretending he's Santa Claus for the needy with our money. It's just a hobby to him. He couldn't possibly genuinely care, could he?

You could buy your own private country for that amount.

The smallest country in the world is for sale.

And cruise around with a babe in the navigator seat of a Lamborghini Countach? Get a red one. That's a car that any woman would die to navigate in. Very fast, dual exhaust, geared high. Built to order by a bunch of Italians that know what they are doing. Not cheap.

First people want wealth,
Then they want fame
Then they want privacy
Then they want power

No you wouldn't. 3/5 would go straight to the governments. :)

That's how he attracts the dumb heiresses who marry him.
