It would be a fleet with my own paid for mercenaries (rent an army). Doing it Operation Highjump style, yo'. Let's end this bullshit discussion once and for all, for humanities sake.
Lump Summing it would be around 200 to 190+ million dollars after tax. That's quite a pretty penny, however you need to first cut off as many leashes on your as possible. This means using the snowball tactic to pay off debts (Hit bigger, coast down to smaller) and then putting a chunk of that into a savings account and dividing up the rest amongst some other options besides sinking a few in precious metals.
From there, using what's left, your best bet would be to buy up several acres of land far enough from the cities and working up building up a self sufficient farm with some livestock and greenhouse. If you're like several of the people in my group, you'll want walls, a bunker large enough to house several people plus supplies and other items and redundancy systems.
The entire point being to cut off as many possible leashes that the state/government has on you. Once you get a good footing, starting opening up some small businesses or online shops to start earning more cash and build up from there to the point you could become a potential player in the scheme of things.
Buy a large swath of land with well water and build houses with Tesla roofs and power walls for all my closest friends and family that I like, and enough equipment and livestock to sufficiently grow and produce enough food for everyone that lives there.
• Hire an attorney and accountant after vetting them.
• Build a sanctuary for my family. Some land, privacy, built-in amenities and a home that will do everything I would need it to do, namely keep my wife happy and keep us alive in bad times while making us money in good times by being energy independent because I've got my own.
• Grow my family more.
• Home school my child(ren).
• Raise an army of German Shepherds to be part of my growing pack. I would also rescue military or police service dogs of any breed and give them the retirement they rightfully deserve.
• Develop an online game, a news aggregator site and an online non-profit open source information repository (which I would fund many FOI requests).
• Start non-profits for helping communities with medical assistance and peer support rather than paramilitary force to combat the hard drug epidemic.
• I would want to help other causes but I'm skeptical of the established operations so I'd likely start up non-profits for veterans, domestic abuse victims, victims of sexual abuse and overall sufferers of mental illness who need peer support, homing assistance, health care assistance, etc. I would be interested in helping those affected by natural disasters but I don't know if it could be done without getting involved with FEMA at some level, which is a no-go for me.
• Invest in companies and inventors who have a heart that wants to help people and causes.
Take a portion, set up some sort of stock portfolio invested into companies like Raytheon, Boeing, Northrop-Grumman with said portion that would obviously appreciate seeing as the MIC is everlasting.
The rest, along with the eventual net annual profits from the MIC account, would be donations/funds for a national, if not worldwide, mass research event into epilepsy & the side effects of cannabis-based treatments overseen by as many various groups as I could afford with the amount.
Hire my own 24 person SATB choral group. I've got my reasons.
I'm not gonna throw money into this but that's always been my standard "what would I do if I won the lottery" answer.
Take them 700mil (this is not nearly enough to do BIG things) and try to make far more for a faster startup, create a secret society (keep it secret just in case things turn bad, again) and in time change the world to better for all... the end result would be Humanity as a whole (Worldwide Unity) living to better them selves, explore the unknown, try to understand the truth and many other things that would benefit our mind, body and soul. All this would be based on Good Values, Truth, Freedom, Love and Understanding.
Unfortunately there will always be Evil, bad, selfish, careless, greedy etc. people (i believe they are a huge minority but some of them even powerful, also this is in constant flux)... but that should not stop the rest to create a better world and share it with the rest!
The conflict of Good vs Evil is perhaps eternal but it seem that those in the middle are the most important.
p.s. Assuming all goes well and the "outside forces" actually support this and not try to stop it :]

Get a crew and set sail to Antarctica to see if the Earth is flat, hollow, or what they tell us it is.

Safer to setup a drone and buy a barge of sort. Too many governments on that ice-rock trying to keep others off.

That doesn't sound too ridiculously expensive at all actually... not cheap, but probably crowdfundable

It is but be careful of falling dumbbells ;)

I'm in but only if I get to keep artifacts or alien tech.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-24
Deal. Can you make an omelette?
1 Paranoidsbible 2017-08-24
I actually was studying the culinary arts before I got bored with it and moved onto something.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-24
Great, welcome aboard!
1 Paranoidsbible 2017-08-24
Do we get to bring our guns?
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-24
Of course! Saves me money :)

Hey, the rich aren't just rich by screwing others over. Quite a few are frugal little buggers.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-24
Indeed, and I'm no dummy.

We'll buy the finest of boxed foods and non-perishables from the local markets, only if they're discounted and we have coupons.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-24
Invest in Chef Boyardee, before the expedition.
1 Paranoidsbible 2017-08-24
We must also invest in spray cans of cheese.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-24
Good tip, I'm having my broker look into the stocks and market profitability.
1 Paranoidsbible 2017-08-24
We will also need tankettes for the coming expedition.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-24
I don't think we need them, they are just go-carts that look like tanks.
1 Paranoidsbible 2017-08-24
I unno, man. Slap on the proper mods and we got ourselves mobile igloos.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-24
Fair enough, but we only have x amount of fuel available to get there.
1 Paranoidsbible 2017-08-24
So we wait a few years and breed war emus.

I would destabalize a small country to figure out why Soros and the CIA like doing it so much.
1 Onivivo 2017-08-24
I would fund my ideas for a logical space craft, and progress science in our reality.

Somehow help people/children who have been injured because of vaccines.
When is the next drawing? Saturday?
1 DontTreadOnMe16 2017-08-24
If no one won tonight...
1 Paranoidsbible 2017-08-24
When's the drawing? Haven't heard anything about a winner on the feeds.

Buy a large swath of land with well water and build houses with Tesla roofs and power walls for all my closest friends and family that I like, and enough equipment and livestock to sufficiently grow and produce enough food for everyone that lives there.
Then hire people to do most of the farming.
1 EagleOfAmerica 2017-08-24
I had literally the same plan as you. Maybe 10 operatives and some good IT and I could completely control the important subreddits.
1 saulgould917 2017-08-24
give a big chunk toward revitalizing the community where I live. giving feels good particularly when their are results that benefit everyone.
1 Balthanos 2017-08-24
Disappear
1 agarret83 2017-08-24
probably travel and go to sporting events and shit and then give some money to my mom to do what she wants
1 Jango139 2017-08-24
• Disappear at first.
• Hire an attorney and accountant after vetting them.
