Strategic Exchange Approach by Miracle Man
I’m certain many people will be giving you advice during this process, and although I have 17 years of experience as an investor, a former lottery winner, and a former lottery loser, I am not a financial adviser.
All of my plans are intended to give you a different perspective-in other words I understand what it’s like to be suddenly wealthy and have no idea how to manage it, prioritize it, or grow it.
With that in mind, I want to help you avoid some of the pitfalls I've run into with the hope that you do not have to make the same mistakes.
My experiences have given me a unique perspective and understanding. This is MY plan and it is not intended to offer you a path to success, and does not include any promises.

Here, then, is a real answer, courtesy of the hush-hush world of private banking: $25 million.
Never Mind the Millionaires Here’s Advice From Billionaires
By Barry Ritholtz
The richest offer life lessons about how they got where they are.
Last month, I described an email that promised vast riches if I would adopt “The Millionaire Mindset.”
This is the sort of silly wishful thinking I hate:
Consider, instead, the Cartesian pitch as applied to self-help being sold today: Just think it and it will happen. This stuff, along with crystals and horoscopes, joins a long list of things that have never been proven to have much value beyond a placebo effect.
