What to do with some spare change

So some of my carry from a fund a few years ago paid out, it's somewhere in the low 7 figures range. Since I'm not strapped for cash (obviously), what should I do with it?

1. All in on some shitcoin like Shibu Inu and hope it 500x.

 

2. Buy out a company valued in the 10-15mm range with some leverage, dedicate some time each week to operating and overseeing it.

3. Donate it steadily over a few years to a hypertarget (WHYD) and build a rapport with adcom so my kids can get accepted in a decade or so.

I'm glad you're OK, but it's not obvious at all. You look like you need it. You look poor. And you're planning on having stupid kids.

Buy a 7 figure boat and name it “Spare Change.”

Buy your way into exclusive social circles, and marry one of those 'waspy broads' you always talk about

 

My friend knew this shit marketing guy that worked at one, they had a local event and she brought some of my friends and I along, but it was so fucking boring and everyone there was bland as hell.
