Honestly, with 640 million. Don't even care about invesments. I'd never be able to spend that kind of money. I don't have children or ever plan on it. So I would give 10 million each to my sister, my brother, and my parents. I would also donate a chunk to the church I work for and also the volunteer kids program I work for. Then give my small circle of close friends some and tell them to keep their mouths shut about it. Then just travel until I got bored and find a place to settle down. I'm a car guy so I would of course buy some. Beyond that, don't know. Just buy whatever I want whenever the thought occurs and just live my life.

The trick would be to find a place where you're in some super posh place but has a legit, non shitty government where every cop in the entire country isn't corrupt as fuck and wouldn't roll you the second they found out who you are.

I would first have a mild heart attack. Then not say a thing to anyone, family or friend. I wouldn't tell a soul until I got my first check and had found an accounting firm all set up. Then I would peel off an easy million for every family member I consider close.
Then I would find a plot of land in a pot friendly state, then get something like this built. While that was being built and shit I would take a few of my family on the trip of a lifetime. Like no plans just be like "Hey, I feel like going to Tokyo today" and just grab a bag and go. Probably do that for a year then finally just sit down and relax for the rest of my life.
If I was going to do a huge expenditure, I'd want to produce a movie.

With that kind of money, I wouldn't even bring a bag. Just buy clothes on the spot. And I guarantee you it would take more than a year to expend your traveling bug once you started. I'd like to live in several places for a couple months each. Long enough to make friends with locals, but not long enough that I was tied down. Back to my purchasing property in various locations, would allow me to go back whenever.
As an aside, I would definitely spend more time traveling alone. It's a completely different experience when you're by yourself. You tend to gravitate towards what you know, but when that is missing, you find yourself in some unique situations.

You could just say you want to be Sam
I'd have to check, but that's not Sam's rig on the left, I don't think. Maybe Prepared? Not sure.

I did a lot of traveling when I was younger and there aren't many places I am interested in truthfully. Besides wanting to go back to the Philippines to take my mom for a few months, Japan is the only place I've always wanted to go but never been. Maybe spending a year in Japan I could see.
As for solo travel, I would get a nice conversion van or something and do an all over the U.S. drive in a heartbeat.
I mean it may just be the pot head in me but I'd seriously be like Randy.

Spain, France, Thailand, Brazil, Italy, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, any country that's "safe-ish" in South America, a lot of the east Asian islands, carribean islands. America is also incredibly and amazingly diverse as well, but I've already been to virtually every state that matters (fuck Montana). I'd have a condo in the tallest building in a beachfront property in Florida. I'd also like a flat in London. Build a fucking city in Jamaica. But ultimately, what folks get out of different places is unique. I have no reservations against someone that can garnish happiness from being in the place they love and find peace.

There's an idea. I love boating, but being "trapped" on one for traveling rustled my jimmies. Didn't realize it until I took my first cruise where I felt like a prisoner, even with a suite room at the top of the ship.
Speaking of insta thots, just having property in exotic locations and they'll come to you.

I mean the whole thing is a mind bottling amount of money. The stress of going from nothing to super rich has to be huge as well. It doesn't help that whenever I think about winning money it's just enough for me to buy a nice house in a nice area have it all paid off and live comfortably off like 50k a year. I don't personally have expensive tastes and even with a shitload of cash I can't imagine it would change too much. Other then having the best computer/phone/TV and shit. At most I'd buy a classic car like an old GTO or a 70's Bronco and have it updated to be a daily driver. I would never be one of those people that has a stable of cars just cuz I could. I'd probably build an epic comic collection or something though.
