Me on the other hand could think of quite a few thing to do with 50 mil. First thing I'd do is take up the services of a good financial consultant. The 50 mil goes in for a year and i don't touch it, probably carry on as usual finish my degree etc and then after a year whatever has accumulated is what is open slather. I reakon my first little project would be to do a tour of Aus (well start from brisbane and head anti clockwise until it gets boring) and film it so it's not just a holiday but a job aswell. I'd make it a proper outdoors show, not just fishing but hunting, camping, 4x4, bushwalking etc. A show like that filmed well would probably do quite well in both Australia and the states
The arsenal would be
-2 kitted out land cruisers, one towing a skeeter for dam and estuary and the other towing a kevlacat for offshore. Canoes on the roof of both.
-1 hilux tray back towing a trailer for all the gear and as a hunting vehicle
-Entourage would probably be my old man and close fishing mates aswell as a 2-3 man professional film crew
-Fishing gear would be nothing but top shelf daiwa and shimano tackle. Lures whatever I want, that would be fun in itself setting up a lurecasting and bluewater sportfishing boat with whatever you feel like.
I reakon that would have an inital set up cost of about $800k and have a yearly running cost of about $500k-$1mil. Easily doable on the $50 million investment portfolio, sh!t you'd have change left over. After the intial tour I'd continue the show on a smaller scale. Set up a few charter operations, say a barra lodge in the NT and a gamefishing boat of Cairns. The rest of the time i'd spend running a charity organisation probably with a conservation orientated approach (buying land, funding research etc), the whole time limiting myself to the earnings from the investment portfolio and depositing whatever was left over back into the fund.
