    You need to provide a lot more info, assuming you are not just trolling.   How old are you?  What is your current financial situation, do you have a pension, ISA etc?  How is the £50,000 currently invested?  Is it in a tax wrapper?  What is your objective with this money, house purchase, wedding, retirement etc? 
    Think first of your goal, then make it happen!

    If it's £50,000 then you could stick it all in premium bonds (assuming that you don't already have some).
    If however it's 50,000 Iranian Rials, you could buy a Mars bar.

    Investment timescale? Existing pensions? Risk tolerance or temperament eg typical ice  cold MSE investor? 

    Personally I’d blow it all wine, women and fast cars, but each to their own.
