£10M
it's not stonkingly rich if you're the sort of person who wastes it. I mean you could blow a couple of mill of that on a decent plot of land and a nice big house (more if you wanted to make it entirely self-contained so there were no running costs). Then a car or two would drop you another million*. Start jetting off all over the world, develop a drug habit for you and your friends, and your remaining few million will be frittered away before you can say "stuck in rehab/back on the dole".

*And then- the real killer- you'd have to buy a tank of petrol for each of the cars.

If it was me
I'd probably die in a high-speed crash or from organ failure before I ran out of cash.

Better to burn out than fade away.

uberdeity is right
If you ever watch or read anything about lottery winners you find that the bigger your lifestyle change, the more miserable you tend to be.

I think those people just aren't doing it right.

I remember watching a documentary that said
to lead the "millionaire lifestyle" you need atleast £35million as a lump sum, or a steady income of £2million a year atleast, or a combination thereof.
