Can I live off of interest on $100 Million for life?

[Merging Left]

My question must be silly if that is coming from a reputed old member like you unlike an amateur calling me an idiot above just for asking an innocent question. I have never done taxes on my own as all my business affairs are managed by my family's accountants. Also, I have been pampered by my parents since birth, so I have very little real world tax experience. And yes, I never worked a day in my life. All in all I am not ashamed that I had to ask this stupid question as it's been answered nicely by the lovely TMF community.

Biophase, in the $5 Million interest example above, how do you suggest I grow the principal to negate inflation? And will I still be paying 40% taxes if that interest comes from dividends or capital gains and not necessarily bank interest?

Here's the answer to end all answers:

Once you get your $100M, hire a damn accountant and attorney to figure it out for you.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse...
