If i had 100 Million Dollars

It seems as though the Powerball jackpot cruelly decided to go over $400 million again.  I hate it when it does that (and I don't win).  You know what one of the worst parts of dreaming is?  ... You eventually have to wake up.   

So what would I do if I had $100 million dollars after taxes (and a sizable living stipend for the next 30-40 years)?  i guess i would be semi-rich.  I obviously never think about this kind of thing.  Well, some of the things I have been kicking around in my head.  Unfortunately, this probably wouldn't be easy to do/co-ordinate. Some of these may be mutually exclusive of others, some are probably not

* I would love to go around acquiring retro video game IP, code, trademarks, etc. Set up my own semi-publisher [maximum budget $25 million]

* Launch Game Room version 2 for the Xbox One [maximum budget $17 million]
 - Console Emulation/Port Pricing:

 - Infinite Undiscovery 2, Resonance of Fate 2, Star Ocean 5 (maybe they could do some ports)

* Help fund: Too Human 2, 3 on the Xbox One. [Maximum Budget $35 million]
