First of course I'd have to pay about $420 million to the US gov't and my state gov't in taxes :-( Now I have $580 million.

After that, I'd:
1) Buy a few large pieces of land in areas that I'd like to live and/or visit frequently and build houses or cabins. ($10 million, leaving $570 million)

2) Make large donations to a variety of charities that work on things I believe are important to the world. ($50 million, leaving $520 million)

3) Fund a non-profit organization to teach money management skills to children (and adults that need it) in order to help people spend and invest their money wisely so they can stay out of debt and grow their wealth so they can live a reasonable life and have a secure retirement. ($20 million? leaving $500 million)

4) Invest the rest, mostly in stocks, and earn something like
$40 million a year after taxes which I would use for:
- taxes, maintenance, etc, on my property
- living expenses
- two or three vacations per year to really cool places in the world that I've never been to or want to go back to (Alaska, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Amazon, South Pacific islands, etc.)
- annual donations to charities
5) Upon my death, leave a bunch to charities and the rest to my descendants.

One other thing I'd like to do is reform the political system in the US so that the priority of the elected officials is to do what's good for the people they represent and the country as a whole, not their party and rich donors...but unfortunately that would take a whole lot more than a billion :-(

I'll spend it like there'll be no tomorrow.

A billion is quite a lot, I know what I would do with the first few million or so, pay off my house, go on a wild vacation all around the word with my boyfriend and some other friends and my sister, then buy a really sweet get away cabin. Then I'd probably give some to charity but I just don't know what I would do with the rest!


ginger
First, I would faint!!!


uber_kiwi95
buy a nice house, buy nice furniture to go in the nice house, buy a horse, buy a cool car, go on a wild vacation, get my hair and nails done, buy new cloths....and then divide whats left among my relatives

First I would be in shock... it would probably take me awhile to figure out what was going on. I'd probably cry once I figured it out, call my parents and sister, call my uncle (he's an investor) and call an attorney. I would not make it public (since then everyone will want to be my bestfriend) and only tell my close family and friends. I would buy all my family their dream homes along with a car of their choice. I would travel the world, especially to Egypt. Give everyone in my family vacations. Buy a giraffe, buy my dog a big giant bone for him, build my dream house and get my husband his dream car. Then I would invest and make more money. What would you do?

I'd do several things right away - pay off my house and all my other debts, start a charitable foundation for children in developing countries, buy my husband the car of his dreams and then buy some property where all I could see from the house is my own property. After all that, I think that I'd start traveling all over the US and then the world. One of my first stops would be to visit my friends in Kenya and treat them to some really great food and give them some good gifts. Then I'd go to a town on Lake Victoria called Homa Bay and find a little boy (not so little now) who touched my heart and I'd help his family make their house better and make sure that he and his siblings got an education and proper medical care. I think that's something I want to do that no matter what - he was a very precious child.

10 million dollars would set my family up for the rest of our lives.
The other 990 million is where I can make a difference. Oprah did it in Africa. I would do it HERE - because charity begins at home. There are so many kids who deserve a free first-class education in the USA. That money, making 50 million dollars PER YEAR in interest, would go towards setting up a great private school...free of charge.
I figure that I could probably run a top notch K-12 school for about 250 students on that interest. I wouldn't need a cent from gov't agencies, corporations, bake sales, or alumni (and so I wouldn't have to answer to them - just the parents and Dept of Ed of the state I was in.)
My wife and myself would run the finances, and we would worry about nothing but running a school for truly deserving kids for the rest of our lives.
The best part, since all the funding is from ME, I get to choose the students. (That application and interview process would be long and grueling. The students who don't take full advantage must reapply yearly or they won't be invited back)
A pipe dream? Sure, but what a difference we would make!

Setup my family and close friends. Take around 15 million and had to Vegas and come home when it is finished. Buy an island start my own government and law. Open a few casinos move out all my friends and family and live it up.
