I am $365 M richer
 
I just checked my Powerball Ticket, and I won $365 million dollars.

Does anyone know a good tax attorney?

I guess I should just ask Richard.

If I had 365 million dollars, the last people on earth that I would talk to
would be tax attorneys or "investment advisors".

You'd dismiss *all* investment advisors? Other than diversifying
investments, it would seem prudent to listen. Seems Mark McCormick did a
great job for his clients.

You wouldn't have to go talk to tax attorneys. They'd come
to you!

Now I'm curious. Which one?

Investing savings since 1976, I've had dealings with most of
the big brokerage houses and come to the conclusion that
about 75% of investment advisors are hucksters & shucksters.
And of course, there's always Sturgeon's Law. My eyes were
really opened by the Crash of '87.

I'm guessing, but probably the same one you would keep. The wife.

Not hardly. My wife is very smart about many things, and
shrewd about household money, but she is terrible at
investing & has no patience for learning the basics.

Sorry to hear that. It will profoundly change your life forever, and
certainly not for the better if your experience is llike that of most
big-money lottery winners. (Assuming that $365m is a lot more money
than you're used to dealing with and also recognizing that you didn't
grow/evolve into the capacity to properly use and appreciate the true
potential of such a sum by the normal process of earning it).

As a true humanitarian, I can assure you that dealing with this
windfall would be far more trouble to you than it is worth. It's my
responsibility to you, as a fellow human being, to offer to take this
burden off your hands.

We could always partner up and go into the boat business.....that $365m
would be back down to a sum we'd probably both be more familiar with in
no time at all. :-)
