What would you do with $1,000,000,000 (one billion dollars)?

Found my community.

Donate some money to some churches I love, the poor, a personal chef to make me 5 star quality breakfast,lunch and dinner. Multiple Maids/ butlers, the best of technology like headphones game systems, tv's etc. Front row seats to both the winter and summer olympics, the superbowl, world series, and world cup. A mansion for me and my family. Help out my current public school because they cut some sports because of financial problems, hire a professional orchestra to orchestrate all my favorite songs and play them for me, I could go on but I won't lol.

buy a third world country, and kick everyone out... except the good looking women... plus fund an army, for any trespassers will be shot.

invest a lot of it wisely and let the profits go to charity so they get a constant stream of money

take my family on vacation once a year

take my best friend on a trip toEurope once a year

get a trainer and dietitian and lose weight easier

open my own brewery with a nice loft/apartment on top of it downtown so I don't have to drive anywhere

take better care of myself; eat right, drink finer alcohol, etc.

ultimately I would just live a modest life and enjoy the small and fine things in life.

Myself and family first, then throwing it all into a CD or something for interest, then a good portion to charity, then retire at age 18.

I'd become a lawyer and sue myself for 1,000,000,000 dollars. Then I'd have, 2,000,000,000 dollars.... right?

Retire at age 22. Start my own computer build and repair business. Give 50 million to both my parents. 5 million to all the relatives I really care about. Have a house like this built somewhere in the coastal parts of the U.S.:

Then spend the rest of my days relaxing. From time to time, I'll go to town and whatever family I see that look like they are struggling but are good people, I'll help them out with a little money to keep them going, something I wish rich people would do sometimes...

I'd give each of my close personal friends a 2 million a piece because what am I gonna do with all my newfound free time if all my friends are working every day? Also I would donate to a few things near and dear to my heart like my old high school band, the church I go to, and a few other things.

Beyond that I'd take a trip to hawaii, come back, buy a house, and live comfortably.

1. Buy my family houses/cars and other things.

2. Go traveling around the world with a few close friends

3. Get a dietician so I can stop eating all these fatty foods

4. Drugs (lol :P)

5. Donate to poor, fund science programs, etc.

I'll buy whatever country I can and become it's dictator and slowly over time, overtake the world.ExoticAnimal

i'd pay everything off, then invest the rest so i could retire early.

why have a billion dollars when you could have ....a million dollars. >.>Allicrombie

Invest the majority, give some to charities I care about, relatives and friends. Live in a secure location, but without materially changing my existing life which I frankly enjoy. I would proceed then to mercilessly hunt down anyone who has ever pissed me off for more than 5 minutes and feed thme feet-first in to a wood-chipper.

Maybe I'm kidding, maybe I'm not.

mwwwwaaahhhahahaha....mwwwhhhahahaha....mmmmmwwwhhahahahaha..... Mini-me, stop humping the "lazer" :P

To answer the question, I would give my closest friends a couple mil each, my mom and brother 25 mil each and take them all on a huge vacation to various places around the world. I would try to do this at least twice a year.

Invest most of it and spend the rest on various luxuries, cars and a very nice house, maybe buy a couple other houses in different countries. My future generations would be set for awhile. :)

Burn it all.

Smoke the ashes.

Recycle the ashes of ashes.

Fine, I'll just start up a video game company and fulfill my wildest fantasies (that involve making video games).

And stop adding the Google logo in your posts. You have a sig for that.

Seems intrusive.

- Buy a lot of houses/cars

- Buy/make a supercomputer

- Travel

- Have a party house with my own DJ

- Build myself a bomb shelter stocked with all the supplies I would need (just in case)

- Invest

- Give some money to family and 1 of my neighbors.

- and the usual...

Buy a water powered jetpack and a place to use it then figure out who does accounting for billionares and get that person to deal with my money for me.

I'll tell you what i would do man ,two chicks at the same time :|

What i would do though is donate most of it and live my life how i wanted to . Travel the world, experience different cultures ( like living in japan for a couple of years ) and go absolutely nuts on newegg and build an absurd gaming rig .

pay for uni, partaaaaay, invest in some charities and whatnot. buy google and starbucks.

In no particular order

1. Buy a nice house and save enough money to keep it for at least a few decades

2. Pay off all my debts and the debts of my close family (parents, sister, aunts and uncles etc.)

3. Buy a few sweet cars (including the Aston Martin DB9, DeLorean DM-12 and Lamborghini Spyder)

4. Furnish my house with the nicest stuff (including a complete entertainment center with a huge TV, ever game console under the sun, nice leather couches and paintings and a $3000 monster gaming PC with all the best stuff and 3 monitors).

5. Give annually to Child's Play charity

6. Open a videogame bar (like the Mana Bar) downtown

7. Get every game, movie, book, music album, poster, comic and movie I've ever wanted.

8. Hire the Epic Meal Time guys to cook me a meal, and Freddie Wong to make a sweet movie

9. Hire Brad Pitt's personal trainer when he was in Fight Club

10. Buy a bunch of sweet guns and invite FPS Russia to shoot them with me

11. Take a trip to Vegas with all that comes with it (nice hotels, rented limos, parties, fancy clubs)

12. Invest some of it in worthwhile things

13. Never work again.

Sadly, this isn't something likely to happen and I'm just letting my imagination run loose out of boredom.
