I would definitely get myself a PS3. And build my own pool, and, if I'm kind enough, donate some of them to those poor, poor, countries...

That's sad.

What would I do? Get my good friends gifts to show my gratitude, invest some of it in reliable stocks and donate a chunk to charities. Oh, and buy a splendid library of books for myself.

So instead of investing in saving people's lives, you would buy a PS3 and construct a swimming pool for youself? Wow.

I would go skydiving, 5 times, and the rest I would donate to charities, but the charities that give more than 2% for the cause.

Save it. If someone finds out, a ****ton of people will be coming to my front door. I will wait till retirement to use it.

Must avoid Batman joke...

Well, first thing I'd do is pay off whatever debts my family members may have lingering around. Then move out of this house into another, get some new clothing, items, etc. After that's out of the way then I'd purchase some businesses, invest in stocks, and put a large sum of the money I have into several bank accounts. Then I'd donate a lot of whatever I have left over to some local charities and whatever else is around this city to make it a better place.

I'd give at least 90 percent to carefully selected charities and I'd still have enough money to live the way I want to. I wouldn't stop going to school or work. I'd save some of the money for later and spend some of it on useful things and have some fun too.

I would be obsessed with guilt feelings for a lot of time, especially because I didn't do anything to earn all the money. If I would decide to invest and use for a good cause I would be hugely stressed because I'd risk to lose it all, to invest it in the wrong ways or donate it to the wrong people. The only solution would be donating all the money at once, but I could never make such a decision, also because I'd know that I would be able to donate two times that amount if I kept and invested the money for some years.
So I don't think it would make me much happy.

What do you mean by billionaire? That could mean I owned 1,000,000,000 chicken nuggets.

Anyway, I know what you mean. I would probably buy a new house along with a Maybach and hire myself a professional driver. Also, I would have stockpile of machine guns in front of my house in case someone wanted to rob me.

The thread didn't specify how you got it, just that if you were a billionaire what you would do.

buy things. Invest some of it. Play the stocks game. Build a new bigger mansion and make a whole bunch of secret rooms. Get multiple cars and a chopper and a jet. Build a private army. Start a buisness....no....buy Apple. Make a room devoted to each gaming console and an apple computer. (My dream!) =P

BTW, I don't feel safe giving StormWalker anything that could cause bodily harm.

I wouldn't do anything. I'd have financial security, which would mean I'd never have to work or do anything ever again.

Maybe I'd buy a somewhat expensive car, but that's about it.

Pay for my house or buy a better one, depending. Fund a lab and some scientists. (Good ones). Work with them, learn, go through school, pay off college, become a scientist, ect... Make money and still be finacally secure.
