Ferraris and Penthouses

[SertavisSaviPianist]

A couple of plane tickets........buy out a very successful bussiness that has the tiniest chance of going under......very small but good apartment.

[TheJtmcmillan]

With a million dollars I would pay off school loans, buy a house and then with what ever is left use on the people I care about

[WhoIsNickL]

Buy a house, a car and thats all. lol

[chino95g]

Im one of the Subscribers!! :DD 3things with a million dollars!! umm.. buy everything that my mom needs, pay for college, buy a car,

[mrmitchy1444]

By the way I live in Tasmania, so Phoenix is very expensive to get to. =[

[mrmitchy1444]

Okay so, 1. I would pay off any debts I had. 2. I would visit my very close friend in Phoniex 3. I would by a driving Instructor so I could finally have my license! I would probably keep about a million/half a million and stick it on interest, keep it for a rainy day, so to speak. And the rest I would probably just give away...I don't really need that much money to be honest....

[JakobLazarus]

I wouldnt buy anything. I would just live without working.

[aston757]

Alec, this is one of the most important lessons in life, in my opinion! It's cool to hear it from you...that you get it. Take care! ~hugz~

[adamfishy3474]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[kkparkzocity]

I like the shako on the shelf

[Delawareplc]

Money might not buy happiness, but no money can cause misery...

Not being a cunt just makes most sense to me.. :)

Oh and for the things id buy:

1. A big party in a nice club for all my friends!!

2. A good investment in Switzerland (real estate)

3. Store the rest in high interest bank accounts

Thanks for all your videos!! Im usually too lacy to post but I thumb up! =p

[adamfishy3474]

1: a 200 gallon fish tank. 2: a small house all to myself. 3: a nice-ish car. Rest goes in the bank so i dont get screwed over :)

[LilleBitteMille]

I live in Denmark :-D

[rasoir7]

I dont believe that happiness exists, cuz for me its a state of mind and a state of mind is continuous but were never always happy so happiness doesnt exist. What does exist though is the beauty of little things that make u temporarily happy, which are different for each person. What does anyone else think?

[ghgiog]

good video :)

[elprettio]

1. I would pay off my mom's debt

2. Get a place for myself

3. Get tickets to go see my long-distance boyfriend :)

[Ankeagle14]

This video just made my day, honestly.

1. I'd donate a heck of a lot of it.

2. I'd buy a house for my grandparents, closer to where I live (they've wanted to move here for years)

3. I'd invest the rest by buying stocks, buildings, etc so that I could make more money to donate...

I'd rather use excess money that I make to help others that need it more than me. And honestly? I actually mean that... Family and friends are much more important to me.

[miamifl91]

1. I'd hand a bunch of it to people who might need it.

2. I'd buy a Volvo S80

3. I'd pay to have my name on the side of an American Airlines Boeing 777. I just think thats pretty cool haha.

[bigntasty43]

A real band geek would've called it a shako....wait, that makes me a real band geek. Oh well :)

[alexfysh]

You make me happy:)

[MrGBOOK]

I know you posted this a couple months ago - but been busy & am seeing it for the

first time (and hope you'll see my "comments" - when you return with a new year vid) First: (nearly) EVERYONE watches "60 minutes", reason its been a #1 or

top 5 show for all these years (decades!). In a sea of much garbage - it's a

genuine class act; even more so since gay bro Anderson Cooper has become a regular contributor. Second: Money can buy instant gratification - but not real/ lasting happiness!

[sydmc2525]

My thumbs up really is because of the nerdy band hat. (: Band kids ftw. :D <3

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

Do we have to be happy? I don't get it. Why is it important?

[sillysillyface]

If I had a million dollar I would buy: 1) a sailboat 2) a load of travels for me and my friends. 3) pay a hell-load in taxes to SKATTESTYRRELSEN.

[TheDarkHeartnet]

Hi, I'd just like to drop by and say that I think you're really cute. I love the nerdy band hat too because I too am a nerdy band person x]

So, if I had a million dollars...hmm..I would buy:

1) A new piano!

2) Nice clothes!

3) Some new shiny technology!

Well, I'm not very creative right there...

I'm not a vlogger, but if you could drop by my channel and maybe comment on a video of mine, I would be so happy! :)

I hope you make more videos in the future!

[Yevoto24]

1) Spree of games, manga, anime, plushies, comfortable but not expensive clothes, and food. [About $5000 will be put into these.]

2) Split the cash up and give it to my immediate family [Dunno how much that'd be, especially since this also includes very close friends.]

3) Pay back all the debts (Whether it be between friends or state stuff, as I do owe a bit) I have.

[AttilaHUNofEARTH]

1M dollars would let me afford the following in Switzerland:

1) I'd buy a Mazda BT50 or a 2nd hand Jaguar S-type (Big difference in type, I know)

2) Put some money aside for a good vacation (idk 5-10k)

3) I'd use the rest to get mortgage for a house (FYI an average house in a good location in CH, usually starts at around 1.4M)

[oeak]

<3 band hat =]

[mikemike8000]

A slightly disagree with the video description, I say that money does make you happy but people make you far happier! If you are deprived of either thing then you are unhappy, therefore money has to offer some happiness

[laylod4]

Well, after paying the taxes on the money: finish paying my loans, put a few hundred thousand for a house and just keep the rest for my summer vacation airfare.

[commuterblogger]

I would:

1.) Pay for a trip to America for me and some friends.

2.) Buy some houses to rent out.

3.) Give money to a charity called Crossroads.

[MTC0316]

I would Buy

1. Ferrari 458 Italia

2. a House with a pool

3. save up the rest of it

[kiddowillo]

3 things i would buy.

1. mini cooper convertible

2. give some to SaveDarfur

3. give some to Trevor Project

[jjguy23]

I watch 60 minutes.

[capchemist]

I'd buy:

1) A home.

2) Some property and open a wellness center (offer like yoga, retreats, stuff like that)

3) A cat, maybe?

[readaholic7437]

1.college 0.0

2.give to something that does soemthing with the orphanages in china because there the baby girls are literally neglected untill they die

3.Save it for when i need it. I've already decdied that if i get lots of money, the highest lifestyle i will live is upper middle class.

[FiniteSunrise]

One thing I don't get is that for some reason, a lot of people like to believe that it's black and white. That you can either have money or be happy. Money can't buy you happiness, sure. But that doesn't mean that once you get rich you lose all sense of meaning in your life. It's possible to have those same friendships/loving relationships that you had when you *weren't* rich. It's just, this time you have money too. I don't really see it as an either/or kind of situation.

[RandomDude5421]

i would get alot of things but my priority is prolly to donate it to help cure cancer and aids and stuff like that

[clpaivas]

It has been a month already you still owe us (yours subscribers) a new video saying what you would do with a million dollars...

[wpgrogue]

1. I would get a Gym for the youth in my home town

2. Give some to charity called miracle for kids with cancer.

3. I would build a house for my mom

[Ninkavut]

I'm very disappointed in you... "Nerdy band hat." No! It's a shako! (Unless that's just what they're called in Indiana, or maybe just in Avon...) Have you heard of the Avon Marching Black and Gold? (Just curious cause us band geeks got to stick together)

But once again... disappointed...

(And I'm hoping that it's obvious that I'm not serious)

[floronicman]

lol nice, i used to be in band to, but i quit, so im rooting for my high school band...ever heard of the El Diamante High School Band?

[floronicman]

lol nice, i used to be in band too...not any more, but im rooting for my school band...have you heard of the El Diamante Band?

[woodlandfox2112]

1. pay off my home, so I don't have t sweat it any more.

2. take my 91 year old father back to India on a vacation to visit all the spots he lived as a member of the US Army Air Corps in WW II [he still bikes 10 to 40 miles a day, so he's in better shape than me].

3. buy a building for local service & recovery organizations to use for meetings and office space, with several units of affordable housing on upper floors; should be self-sustaining.

[LiveLifeOutLouder]

1. Theres this AMAZING massage chair at Brookstone that's like 5 thousand dollars but its like heaven in a massive chair. so thats one.

2. hmm. A nice computer. My computer is kinda shit. So I would like an uber fast, awesome computer with like.... a nice monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcam, etc.

3. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh. A moderately nice car. Im not talking like Ferrari (look at me, referencing the video title) but like.... something thats pretty cool and runs well.

Sooo0o0o0o0o0o yeah :/

[TheRickyRuzzo]

1. Frozen yogurt machine.

2. House.

3. Stuff for the house and the froyo machine.

[kdyfiejfj]

I would invest that million dollars and grow it and then reinvest it, then if I felt like I made enough, I might spend some, save some, and reinvest the rest.

[kdyfiejfj]

@kdyfiejfj by the way, the Ferrari is great fun, but because it is Italian and owned by Fiat, it breaks down a lot. Buy a Lambo, it's owned by VW so you get German reliability and engineering. Me, I'm more of an Aston Martin and Bentley guy. And privated jets travel is much better than commercial, trust me. G550 Gulfstream can get you to Europe in half the time of a commercial airliner. Gulfstreams are also American made which means American jobs.

[carrlozXemiliano]

i would buy a house in spain or mexico ! , buy unlimited amounts of food then the rest i would give to save the world or something

[TotallyTommeh]

i would by a house in america, either cali or just outside NYC

with the extra money i'd by a car, nothing fancy like a Buggatti or anything but something that can get me around

and if there is anymore left i would put it towards getting into college (:

[CyrusFun]

Alec, happiness was studied academically in Chicago university some years ago. It was an extensive psychology research and it's published in this book "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. I suggest you read this book. It was concluded that all people reported feeling happiness when they were involved in something called "optimal experience". Such experience has some characteristics..I'm running out of room to type so read that book yourself..It's awesome...

[iJulianS]

1 house

2 do clothes count as one thing?

3 cruise all over the world

And congrats on getting partnered!

[tristanos22]

1. A house for sure.

2. I would travel

3. A car maybe

[makito8best7]

1.- A ton of candy

2.- As many books as possible

3.- A house

I´m not too complicated :)

[ahfalmario94]

I watched the movie two to three years ago. And its one of my favorites. It got me how their life is the worst of the worst but they still manage to be happy. Pursuit of Happyness.

[ahfalmario94]

1. Buy a Hotel or franchise fastfood

2. School : university

3. House, apartment will do

[jiraya350]

I'm a firm believer that money can buy happiness. 

[AtrumDelorox]

i'd just like to say: i knew you before Luan exploited you :P

now i'll take ur question and turn it into "What would you DO with the money?" :)

1) Give each of my closest friends a very generous share of it <3

2) Shoppin spree! :D and yes, when i'd put my head on the pillow i would be happy :) (at least until i wear every new item at least once) :P but then i'd just seek out joy from my friends

3) Throw a party for my friends. random party. no reason. just cause i love em <3

... so yeah. $ = ^_^

[MrStopper1]

what is this obsession with the "european vacation" by americans? U went over there to get away from us. And it really isn't that good. And scandinavian countries have a lot of the same problems u do so they are not a utopia like ppl think.

[alegitproduction]

I would buy a house, a college education, and an entire apple store.... i looovvvveee apple porducts

[curlyhead12]

I'd buy (1) a shit-ton of makeup, (2) a shit-ton of clothes, and (3) a shit-ton of body mods. And those would all make me happier than I am now, because when you're as poor as me, money is happiness.

[Shift1009]

I'd more than likely spend it all on junk, and hate myself for it. But here's what id LIKE to do with one million dollars.

1) Save half of what i have after taxes in a savings account.

2) Secure nice living conditions

3) Do much more to push forward my career on stage and on film.

[128cmp128]

money does make you happy. to be honest you cant say people who have a lot of money isnt happy because they have money i mean the stuff about money can buy you happiness is started by a bunch of jealous people so yeah. :s

[shyyguyy111]

1) an earthship (look it up(

2) a new computer

and 3) the rest to WWF

[mfupi2]

1) An epicly gigantimous 3D LED HDTV

2) A nice house, preferably closer to work

3) A kickass European vacation of a lifetime

[macylea13]

1) house

2) travel

3) season tickets to the dodgers

[hugovsky5]

My last name's Ferrari. I'm Hugo Lacerda Ferrari. But I am surprisingly poor. >.<

Anyways...

I wouldn't buy three things, I would spend the whole money on trips. I really wanna travel the world. *-*

[TAMC2K6]

1.) a practical car that I could love. 2.) A dog. 3.) tickets to the next World Cup!

[VincentJTran]

1. pay the house for my parents (im 18 & i live with them =)

2. get my extended family (20+ people) to go to vietnam, our birth place

3. get me a range rover bc my car sucks right now

... then invest the rest, of course.

[VincentJTran]

your hair's longer...

[epar1628]

Grats for your partnership!! I hope it translates into more videos >:)

1) Bring my whole family on a trip somewhere in Europe

2) Make even more trips with my family /friends

3) Buy a shitload of nice clothes :)

[ArchfiendProductions]

Ferrari shouldn't be possesive in the title

[RossCobane]

I would pay for college - pay bills for my parents - then I would invest the rest to get more so I could donate more to causes

[Robbie8821]

I would give away more than half of it and invest the rest so I can gain it all back and give it away again. And buy parts for projects I work on.

[niksx17]

Omg you're so cute

[JollyGreen303]

I am happy that you made a video.

[DJGgsy]

- Travel The World - Move To the area I need to be for my dream job

 - Spend sensibly to try and get my Dream job...

[IBleedSkittles89]

i would start a life in NYC [get an apt. furnish it etc] go shopping, if i have enough left over get a nice house in LA i can go to every so often =]

[SteltekOne]

I don't know. I might actually prefer not to buy anything and instead use the million dollars to quit my job, invest, maybe move to another country and start anew, because, while money can't buy you happiness, having to get up every single day to go to work to earn a living does kinda suck sometimes.

[kfreels1]

1. Invest 2. Save 3. Invest

I know that I'm the most boring 18 yr old in the world, but I want to turn that money into more money.

[ben8741]

woohoo! congrats on getting partnered.....you deserve it!!!....anyway i think i would Travel the world, Buy a house and the rest would go into savings, if there was any left.....and this video is sooooo true! money doesn't buy happiness.....although traveling the world would make me happy.....but meeting my man will be my ultimate happiness....if it someday happens......Great Video BTW! =]

[fourtikalibur]

1. booze

2. drugs

3. male hookers

[xXrainbowboi42Xx]

An airplane... There, it's all gone :P

[chebaiorang3]

sounds like a summary from the great gatsby

=D

[tyleroakley]

1) I'd travel the world.

2) I'd pay for all my loans, my parents loans and my siblings loans.

3) I'd buy myself a country home.

The rest, invest.

[onyxman8]

I do not even know when I subscribed to you.

[jtstacy9]

1. Pay off college bills/loans

2. Get my own house or condo

3. Travel

[nexttsar]

Having money won't get you Straight A's and it won't buy you valedictorian status. Money may not buy happiness, but it does make life easier and less stressful. Some people who have money are satisfied and content; some people who have money are sad and lonely. Some people who have little money are satisfied and content; some people with little money are sad and depressed. Some people who have money collect things---people who don't have money like to make fun of that.

[Grof142007]

1. pay of all bills/loans

2.get my own place

3.buy every gadet i could ever want(IPAD)

[rarerthanuranium]

i wouldn't buy three "things" really, but i would pay off my college loans/tuition, see some broadway shows, and travel, and anything left over would go into savings.

[MrStopper1]

exchange 1 million dollars to Britain which makes it almost 2 million pounds. Put into high interest savings account and live off interest. It's not wealth, it's monthly income that counts. Do another blogTV soon. See ya.

[nexttsar]

@MrStopper1 what makes you think $1 million is worth 2 million pounds. One pound = $1.60 !!!!

[MrStopper1]

@nexttsar oh shit sorry. wrong way around. I would keep in America as in Britain it would be worth £617,067.31. I stand corrected.

[willbande]

And no disrespect to all those people who are off to Africa to build schools etc with their million bucks? - you wouldn't! - 3 things? Invest the bulk of it for a small regular income then spoil myself to a new guitar and a new 2 seater soft top car of some kind

[willbande]

The fact is it is easier to be spiritual and happy and carefree when you have NO financial worries

[willbande]

"I have been poor and happy. I have been rich and happy. Rich and happy is best." - My Dad.

[drewrharding]

It sure seems like your saying that if you have a lot of money you cannot be happy, which is a lie.

[HahnJames]

You are on the right track. I hope you never fall into the trap of rampant consumerism. I also hope that you are in well and enjoying your seniro year.

$1 million, hmmmm

1.) Pay off student loans and start Ph. D. program

2.) Buy a house, not too big not too small.

3.) Start a college scholarship fund

[clpaivas]

1. I would finish my architecture studies

2. I would go to Africa Build some basic hospitals and schools

3. I would come back get a regular Job and live my life in peace.

@GregIsGo lol

BTW this is my youtube account.

Bye Zecarlos

[markalvarpeck]

It's true what you said about Denmark, in fact the Nordic Countries are home to the happiest people in the world! Finns, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians and Icelanders have always ranked as the happiest in the world thanks to our "Nordic Model" of government where we have high taxes but enjoy free healthcare, higher education, retirement, etc., so money is never a barrier to success and happiness for us.

I love your videos!

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland!

[hebarox]

I'll probaly donate and travel what I wished for my intire life

[hebarox]

Lol your hands move like another person=} I would buy the mall :p

[AZperson25]

It if comes to easily, money is empty. It's like playing the sims 3 with cheats. After a while, it just stops having worth

[Alchenzel]

1. Pay off any debts in my immediate family.

2. Buy a house.

3. Stuff the rest in a bank and forget about it.

4. Continue to live the simple life.

[mannydmammoth]

according to a study, happiness doesn't increase much after 70,000.. so that's my goal once i turn 25.. but i still want to make more later in life

[Triforce007]

1. school

2. travel

3. charity

[etaoinshr]

1. PAY FOR GRADUATE SCHOOL. That shit is expensive.

2. Pay for the ability to spend some time traveling around the country/world.

3. Animal crackers.

[GregIsGo]

2773 IDIOTS.

[GregIsGo]

Weren't...weren't you searching for penthouses in New York?

[Datives]

@GregIsGo He... I think.... h-he was.

[TheEliwood17]

Pay off all of my and my two best friends college tuition, buy myself and my parents a house, and save whatever is left over.

[Hebimaru112]

Money makes everything better!

[TowerGal13]

Disneyland! No wait.. ok fine.. umm I guess put some large portion towards important things (house and what not). Then some for pins and shit, and throw in some other random Disney crap. Then Art supplies/ and or editing software on my computer to encourage a large portion of my hopefully future job of Animation :P

<3 See you tomorrow :D

[coldzak]

first buy a big house.....then another house...then another house again........then..then

[OnyxSyaoran]

You look better, good to know you're not that sick :P (I want a private jet :3)

[KoolCordell]

I would buy a corvette zr1, a house and put 250,00 away to pay for the car (GAS, insurance, maintenance, etc.) then the rest would be invested in various places prolly alot in GM's IPO.

[KoolCordell]

But material things will never leave you where as the person who makes you happiest can. #pessimisticcomment

[salvy411]

Wow. You are very attractive and smart. Very nice video. Let's see with $1 million I will pay for my college, start my clothing business and buy my self a very nice house.

[smagicalgurl]

I would use the money to legally purchase each and every one of the actors and actresses who are associated with the Harry Potter movies / franchise and force them to reenact every single scene in every movie for me daily.

[14mdterps14]

three things:

video game stuff

lamborgini(sp?)

justin bieber. :)

[hokaymeng]

Welcome back to youtube!

Umm.... My only goal in life is to own my own house. I'm a simply guy with simple desires. Call me old fashioned..... or boring. W/E

MAKE MORE VIDS... please? You are one of few intellectually intelligent people on this website.

BTW, Luan is going to be sooooo jealous about the partner thing........heh

[yeffwy]

my school has those EXACT hats.... like seriously... some of them still have the feathers too

i would prolly put 750, 000 into different bank accounts and let them gain interest, then live off that interest. the rest would prolly go to college for me, and then college for my sister-in-law

[niksx17]

Wow you're like, crazy attractive..

[shenshen1020]

I don't seek money but i seek power and access. but if i have 1 million dollards i would put everything into my college fund and my fund for my company in the future.

[onigiri6]

Mr. P watches 60 minutes! i heard him say that once in class. :D

and wealthy ppl to me have the worst lives. i would like to stay in the middle class. as long as i have a house with a backyard in a safe neighborhood, i'm good.

oh. and it needs to be near the Hp theme park.

my three things are:

give some of that money to WWF and Nat Geo

help my family in brazil

go to the hp theme park and pay to see jk. rowling.

ahaha not well thought out but those are rough ideas.

[14mdterps14]

@onigiri6 OMGOMGOMGOMG I LOVE HARRY POTTER! I WENT TO THE THEME PARK. YOU.NEED.TO.GO.ASAP.GOT IT?!?! okay good :)

[onigiri6]

@14mdterps14 happy to say i went their during spring break. freaking blew my mind. ~8D

[onigiri6]

@14mdterps14

lol yeah i just saw that i had a reply to my comment in my inbox today. XD i need to check it more often :P

[whbjoe]

One million dollars. well thats a life time supply of toilet paper, seriously. Dont worry guys, while you are sleeping us zeitgeist members are trying to fix the money issue. :) you re welcome :)

[z2u]

maybe you should watch sixty minutes - or read a newspaper- you would know some of the richest people have given away far more money than they ever spent on themself

just for your information - 60 min has been on over 40years and has always been one of the highest rated show on tv

[cakelover1028]

I'd pay for my college tuition

I'd donate money to charities, which includes giving money to people literally on the street

I'd give some to my parents so that they could pay for shit.

[Freestylin42]

with one million dollars i would buy my dream kitchen, a mini cooper, and thats all i can think of right now

[clandestinecoherence]

i watch 60 minutes...haha

[CJCA915]

I'd get a car, and maybe a build me a new computer, then I'd give some to my parents, so they can catch up on bills and other expenses, maybe pay off their house, etc.

I'd prolly spend some on rent for an apartment, and all those expenses, but other than that, I can't think of anything else.

I'd put the rest in savings, lol.

[CJCA915]

Congrats on partner, and all those stricter rules. ;)

I used to watch 60 minutes.

[101inspirations]

Congrats on Partner btw!!!

ooook, so if I had $1,000,000

First thing I'd do is buy a cheapish house somewhere with a big garden. Secondly I'd like go to an animal rescue center and help as many of the animals as I possibly could. Anything else would just get me through college and maybe visit the US! :)

[michael1215]

I'll buy a house, renovations and furnitures... I'm just sayin.

[Datives]

Alec be zooming in his face. Band hat.

[Datives]

APPLAUSE.

[michael1215]

Hahaha luanlegacy is gonna be so pissed and bitch all day. =)

[101inspirations]

WOOOOO! Video!! *Applause* xx
