Where exactly would you live if you won the Lottery?

Me - I am watching Owning Manhattan, planning my life after winning £100,000,000 (I dream modestly) - and would live in a NY skyscraper!

Something like this: https://111w57.com/

Please do share/judge my excellent taste 😌

I'd live in one of the national parks, either snowdonia (closest to where we are), peak district or lake district, and a lakeside property somewhere in california during the winter!

We do live in a house that I wouldn't change for anything, but I could do with a pied-a-terre

I'd make a few changes, but this would do

@mumofoneAloneandwell Yes, NY apartments do have monthly fees. Maintenance fees if it's a coop and common charges if it's a condo. In your preferred building they're quite expensive (these are monthly):

common charges (CC) ranging from approximately $20,530 to over $36,947, plus monthly taxes between $22,443 and $40,390 for top-tier units.

I fell in love with this when it came up a few years ago:

If they'd accept a generous cash offer I'd move, but to be honest I'm happy where I am really!

Full disclaimer: where I am now is in no way comparable to the house in the article

No links because where I'd live doesn't exist yet. I'd buy some remote land and build a farmhouse barn type pad. I wouldn't want too many bedrooms because I wouldn't want people to come and stay.

I'd have a workshop though.

Location, probably Scotland or middle England.

obviously would have to change the insane decor and probably win the lottery 4 times but I’ve always wanted to live somewhere on the Thames with a view of Tower Bridge!

I love the location where I currently live but there is a house around the corner from me which I really do covet.
It is an Edwardian villa, the new owners completed works on it maybe a year ago and I smile every time I walk past it.
I would love to see inside it although I know I can't afford it.
I'd love to buy a bigger house for my DC too .

Omg excuse me?!?!?!?!!

So at least 50k A MONTH in charges?!

I wouldn’t buy a house.
It’s been my dream for years to live in hotels.
I’d spend the rest of my life living in hotels. Maybe spending a couple of months in each and then moving on to another interesting location.

Portobello beach just outside Edinburgh.... beautiful beaches and the best ice cream 🍨 ❤️

If it was a euro millions, I’d love to live on a massive ranch in a rural part of the USA

A villa in Ibiza with a sea view.

Many, many places

Convert it to sterling, it won't seem so bad 😂

I’d live somewhere close to Tower Bridge. Don’t know why

Here.

I've loved Hampshire since I was a small child and try to visit regularly.

I would move here in a heartbeat. Just need to start manifesting.

Here. I like it here and I have friends. But I would get someone in to sort out some leaks and actually finish the renovations.

Then I would buy a house in the south of France and a cabin in the woods in Finland and split my time between them all. I have the right to an EU passport so I don't need to worry about the 90 day rule.

OMG! I used to date a guy who lived in that house nearly 40 years ago!

I have a friend who lives in the Tower of London. Is that close enough? 😆

I love Dungeness! I am on my own,not sure how spooky it would be at night.

Those Manhattan posts surprise. Family member lived there for 30 and I would
spent months there at a time. Like all big cities it has its problems. I found summer unbearable, the rubbish and subways stink and humidity is unbearable.
It is very expensive, like anywhere else with high wages and most if not it all of Manhattan has been gentrified and made unaffordable, except for the projects.
Winter is brutal and they have just had a bad one.
Staying on a main Avenue, I found it had to sleep with traffic noise, which only stopped for about 3 hours each night. When it is raining it’s impossible to get a cab.
Southern states dumped immigrants in the city, which made the dreadful homeless situation and begging even worse, which is really upsetting to see.
Maddison Ave has the designer shops one end and soup kitchens the other.
TV unwatchable with endless adverts and then there is Trump.
Even a lottery win would not isolate you from the star realities.
Imagine London on steroids , without the NHS

A bunker in New Zealand! 😅

Agree about NYC. You’d have to pay me (a fortune) to live there, and possibly even visit again. Last time it completely lost any charm it had.

I'd stay where I am, buy it and do a loft conversion for some extra space.

Or cliffs that might collapse.

For over £4mil I would want a toilet on the first and ground floors! But otherwise is lovely
