What would you do with $250 million USD?

Assembler, You're too kind.

Honestly?

$50mil to my Parents.
$500k to this site to keep it up and running.
$50mil to buy a private plane.
$20mil in the bank.
$125mil to various Charities.

 

I've already been to college


And yeah, you're too kind;or believe we are all stupid... I don't quite know yet

 

I'd keep some of it liquid for sure, but I'd dump a lot of it into low-leveraged (~50%) core office and apartment assets. That's what I do for a living, so I think I'd be able to deploy it intelligently.

I'd buy a house with enough land to put a private racing circuit in, big car barn, an apartment in Japan somewhere, etc. Just live off interest and cash distributions from the real estate.
