$1 Million Left and Two Weeks Before Christmas?
You're a billionaire and you've just discovered that after years and years of frivolous spending that you have only $1 million left and two weeks to live (cancer of the brain - inoperable). What would you do with the money and with your last two weeks of life?
You're a widower with have three spoiled children that rarely call/visit you; they have no children. You have two siblings, a sister (you know where she lives) that you despised growing up and a brother that moved away and you haven't heard from him in over 25 years. Both of your parents have died (each of them was an only child) so you have no aunts/uncles or nieces/nephews. You don't know if either of your siblings has children.
Would you rectify your relationships and spend your money on that? Live in simplicity and give the money to someone else? (Who?) Spend some and give some? Spend it all? Or would you do something else with it?

Amsterdam or Vegas, blow all the money on prostitutes giving them LARGE tips! I would enjoy my last two weeks having sex (who cares about disease if I only have two weeks) and what hard working girl wouldn't love a $50,000 tip?????

Oh yes, that happened to me once. One of my ex's left me for my best friend. They lasted 2 weeks and then he was begging me to take him back. I was like "Sorry buddy, you screwed up and now I'm moving on with my life." At the time it really hurt me (because we had been together for 3 and a half years), but it was a growing experience which I needed to go through to be the person I am today.

I would rectify my relationships with my family if possible, but not with the money. That may cause more problems. I would donate the money to a charity or give it to families like mine. Families with huge obstacles in front of them. Families that just need a chance. Families without any hope.

Well I think that what I would do is make a will out now that my kids would get what ever is left of my money and belongings once I am gone. Make sure that all my affairs are in order and then once that is done, have fun with some of it. But not breath a word to my kids that I am leaving them any thing. You see most parents do leave what ever they have left to their kids.

id donate the whole lot to a charity, theres no way its worth blowing that much money when your going to die in 2 weeks anyway, there are people out there that need help so no i wouldnt waste the money, not for the sake of 2 weeks of fun, when i probably wouldnt enjoy the two weeks anyway if i knew i was going to die

I'd leave money to my family, some for charity and the rest to move to a tropical place to spend the rest of my days.

I'd leave a token amount to each living relative so they would know they weren't forgotten; and leave the bulk to the charity of my choice.
