One more thing,
Since your going to be getting this massive wind fall, while you are starting out, why don't you sponser free all expenses paid trips to Shaolin Temple to study and train? You could begin with a small store front martial arts school, as a place to host a small group. Hire a good Kung Fu instructor to teach you and the group. Then once a month, or every other month, take the whole group to Shaolin Temple for advanced studies. This will get the ball rolling, and start you achieving your goals much faster.
Then, as time goes on, and you have a big enough group, build the big Temple. By then, you should have the contacts to get Shaolin to send monks to visit you on a semi regular basis. Once your at that point, it will only be a matter of time before one or two decide they would like to stay at your Temple.
I would like to be the first to sign up for your all expense paid trip to Shaolin Temple for training. We could start small, like a two week trip, and maybe later down the road, go for longer trips.
Oh, another thing, even if you get like $100 mill, your GOING to run out eventually. You should probably set your Temple up to be self supporting so it continues on after you run out of cash (Other wise you will wind up with a dead empty dream in the end). I'd charge some sort of enrollment fee. Not alot or anything, just enough to cover the operational expenses, like Food, utilities, insurance on the Temple, and maybe individual health insurance on your Monks in case they ever get sick, or have a training accident..............Oh, and don't forget up keep of the building and grounds etc...
Make sure you haev an attourny on staff too, just to keep you out of legal trouble so far as building codes, construction contracts and dealing with local ordinaces and such. That will be really important, or the powers that be might shut you down before you even start because you commit some minor legal infraction without even knowing it.
I'd hire a fully degreed Doctor of Chinese medicine too, as a large facillity like what your talking about will need at least one medical professional on staff. THAT will really cost you though, but you may be able to get on in for free, by donateing the space to him, and allowing him to conduct a comercial medical practice on your location in exchange for free, or low cost care for your monks.
