If you suddenly got £100,000,000,000 what would you do?

find a way to start a foundation. I would take 1 million of it to live on [plus another few hundred thou to fix all that is ailing in and on my body], then the rest would be invested in a philanthropic foundation to aid the American working class. one goal of my foundation would be to improve dental care here in America, as well as improve health care for the working class. I would also fund progressive political candidates.

If I had over a billion dollars in US currency this what I would do.
1. Buy residences in CA, AZ, TX, and GA, England and Italy.
2. Fill them up with nice furniture and sound systems
3.Buy all the best firearms in the world hire someone to teach me how to shoot.
4. Buy the best Italian, German, and British cars: same as 3
5 Go on vacations every year.
6. Give a donation to any Ivy League school so I can attend.
7.Hire an escort.
8. Set 1% for medical expenses just in case.
9. Invest the rest.

I'd use it to pay off my bills. I'd also share it with my fiancé and other members of my family, so they can use it however they wish. I will also give some to charity.

Oh, just the "usual" stuff----a 1-level house in the woods, with 3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms, and all the amenities----including a treehouse, and a truck and 5th-wheeler. I'd save about a hundred million for myself; then, I'd institute a foundation for military veterans; institute a foundation (with housing) for the homeless; then, give the rest away (including, to my brothers and sisters). There's also a couple of businesses I've always wanted..... I've always wanted to design / make wedding gowns / evening gowns / "after 5" wear; and, I'd like to "flip" houses----but, in the GOOD way----where I'd buy, remodel / re-design / re-decorate, PROPERLY, and sell.

I´d buy house or apartment in a town, I love. Then I would help out my family and some friends. After that, I would travel and see places, get a help-organization rolling, rent a workshop with a grand piano and live happily painting, writing and making music.

Well a house would be a given, need one of those....wouldn't want it to be too excessively large, but large enough to where I always have room for friends/family or even acquaintances, should they need a place to stay. Aside from that IDK, I suppose I'd figure it out as I go. I guess I'd also need a very good speaker system...for music listening.

I'd want to help people with all that to, not just sit on a pile of cash.

Become a movie and TV show producer. Whether it's producing my own ideas or other people's who I find interesting. I'd primarily focus on stories that are unique and have a lot of heart.

Which would still leave me a ton of money for family, maybe friends, and myself. Heck, I could produce low budget movies if I wanted to. Not every film needs to made for 50 million.

I'd buy each adult in my family a state of the art vehicle of their choice. I'd even go to driving school and buy myself the most state of the art pea green vehicle that's on the market.

I'd also have houses custom made for my two closest friends, Dean and Barb. Dean's house would be a replica of his favourite vegetable, a beet. Barb's would be a replica of a giant blueberry, her favourite fruit. Both two story houses would be entirely powered by solar panels. I'd also give them plenty of $$$ to decorate the interiors of their houses any way they wish. Changing my mind about the peas in the pod house, the entire peas in the pod house would be mine. I'd build a two story house to my parents liking and another two story house to the liking of my sister and her family. I'd give my immediate families $$$ to decorate and light their house to their likings and specifications. I'd do it this way, because not everybody would appreciate a pea green house, never mind one that looks like a pea pod.

I'd also buy Dean the latest state of the art vehicle of his choice.

I'd also invite the rest of my friends and relatives to live on my property as well, having houses built to their specifications and likings. I'd give them each lots of $$$ to decorate their houses was they wish, inside and out.

Once all that is done, I'd divide the rest of my winnings between everyone who lives on my property and give each person the same amount of money to do as they wish with.

Back to my Sweet Peas in a Pod house, I'd have a music room that has a psychedelic mural on each wall. I'd also have CDs of all my favourite groups, bands and performers old and new. I'd also have boxed CD sets of all of my favourite artists and not just The Kinks because I'd have all the extra room and money for that all to be possible. That room would have all the state of the art stereo equipment including a turntable. There would also be a vintage Ludwig drum set, two electric guitars, an acoustic guitar and a 60s type organ that predated the synthesizer.

I'd give my family money, parents, siblings, pay my niece college tuition. Then open a feral cats shelter. move to the country side with a huge fenced in yard. eat in restaurants every day, buy a car.

100 billion pounds (around 157 billion dollars) that's enough to buy entire nations! I would:
Find ways to make sure Uncle Sam gets as little of it as possible.
Build a massive golden dragon statue bigger than Lady Liberty.
Go on lots of vacations.
Give some to the family.
Buy a mansion in green hill country or mountains.
Donate to organizations that I would support.

not a penny of it would go to any already rich person.

I would
-buy a huge property up north(needs to have a lake)convert it into a farm,half solar half agricultural.i would grow my own food,sell the electrcity i dont use.fish in my lake for food.
-build my own cabin/home
-buy homes/vehicles for family members
-buy stuff i need,bike and skiis and survival gear,and things of that nature all of the highest quality.
-invest some in many things,i thought spca but at that point i would just create my own(they would have their own huge place at my farm),charities/foundations,and cancer research specifically prevention(too much emphasis on cure and not enough on prevention)

Im sure there are others but i cant think of them right now.

Buy an aircraft carrier.
