THE Mega Million lottery, held today Friday 3/25/11, has reached $312 mil for the lucky winner. The lotto has seen a massive $8 million jump since the last reported winnings were announced. A ton of people are looking to cash in this year and we encourage all GlobalGrinders to get out and buy a ticket or two for a chance to get “Stanky Rich” like 50 Cent.
Beware, though, that more money can often lead to more problems, like limiting who you can comfortably kick it with without feeling super akward or guilty. As a way of helping whoever wins it adjust, we’ve come up with a list of some of the most interesting millionaires from the world of entertainment that you can hang with after the dough rolls in.
Lady Gaga: Some say that “Money Honey” hustler Lady Gaga is the new Madonna. While her unique talent stands alone, she’s well on her way to matching the icon’s bank account. She’s made $67 million this past year. But if you win the Mega Million and kick it with her, you may have to throw on a poker face to avoid potential jealousy; her fortune can’t touch the $312 million (as of 3/24/11) you’d have, even after taxes.

Beyonce and Jay-Z: By raking in $150 million total this past year according to Forbes, Beyonce ($87 million) and Jay-Z ($63 million) are the definition of a hip-pop power couple. Perhaps you and a significant other could grab lunch with the two after hitting the jackpot.

Scarlett Johansson: Johansson of “Lost in Translation” and “Iron Man 2” fame is not only ridiculously beautiful and widely regarded as one of the sexiest women on the planet, she’s also known for her charity work for victims of the earthquake in Haiti and for Hurricane Katrina.

Sean “Diddy” Combs: It’s no secret that “Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems” rapper and hip-pop mogul Diddy has bank. Forbes Magazine confirmed his status as the hip-hop world’s #1 money-maker (worth $475 mil) and it’s really no surprise. What may surprise you is how interesting Diddy and his Dirty Money crew really are.
Check out some of his off-the-wall YouTube vids and his “Most Interesting Man in the World”-style Ciroc Vodka commercials for evidence. He’s probably the hardest and most fun partier in hip-hop and pop.

Ron “Opie” Howard: WTF!? Yes, Oscar-winning director Ron Howard aka Opie makes this hip-pop list of interesting people to hang out with. Why, you might ask? Did you catch him in the “Blame It” video by Jamie Foxx back in the day? That’s how this baller gets down.

Tiger Woods: This one kind of goes without saying. I’m sure you’d be welcome to hang out with him as long as you aren’t carrying any golf clubs.

Britney Spears: Who wouldn’t want tips from Britney on how to overcome adversity? We ride with Britney and she rides with over $64 mil in the bank. Haters gonna hate.
