I would build an amusement park---the one I have dreamed about for years.

I am building this amusement park now---in HO (1:87) scale.

All in the title, really, if you got £100,000,000,000 what would be the first thing you would do?

I'd get a huge house, a huge TV, a Mercedes Maybach 62, a Rolls Royce Phantom and a Lamborghini Gallardo.


Put it in the bank! Silly.

Well that's $142419968599.48(us) so id get a top of the line alien ware computer, a house in the middle of nowhere, satellite internet, and a Bentley of some sort. Then I would put the rest in a college fund, go to Harvard later, and be really rich for my entire life while researching useless crap and wasting all that cash.

Rollercoasters are the coolest things at amusement parks (what a shame there is none anywhere less than over 1000km away!)

Really!? 8O

In that case, I would put it into a Janice fund where it would draw insane amounts of interest. :money:

I would like to buy some land and build a huge race course. Then, buy a bunch of baja trucks, and invite some friends over to raise some hell. I also wouldn't mind building some furniture out of gold and silver bars. :twisted:

For you non-Brits, just assume that it is a lot of money, LOL.

If this is really in pounds, I would be very. very happy to accept it.

First, I would just buy lots of clothes and basketball gear, thereafter moving near a basketball court (or maybe buying a house with it) and all I need to do is to shoot hoops everyday while collective interest in the bank. And it would be either in State College, PA or Boulder, CO... I may just be a part-time researcher. I am so rich, PhDs doesn't matter except they are of my interest, haha.

Then when I'm tired, I'll buy music equipment to make the sickest beats of the worold, then blasting them loud the next time I play ball.

Thereafter, I will just buy all the good books I like and I can find from all the reputable bookshops of the world! Oh, especially those on finance (how to manage them well?) and urban studies (maybe I am considering building sustainable properties for poor people who don't live like me). I may consider keeping my money in the university though to build new facilities to expand human knowledge globally. And add in a laptop with Internet access, with daily trips to Starbucks, and wham! Only 10 million dollars or so are gone. The others? Well, after I get tired with my own life's pleasures, I will personally supervise the usage of such money!

I think I would move to Britain so I would have more cash to spend. (I would move everybody I love with me, since I would have the money to buy them nice places!)

if i got £100,000,000,000 i would keep £1,000,000,000 and devote £99,000,000,000 to help people in need.
so i would convert the £99,000,000,000 into £1 notes, and i would have them sent to be mulched up and squeezed into "barbecue fire starter" bricks that could help many people light their evening fires without taxing their local woodlands.

maybe i would just light a big bonfire with the 99,000,000,000x£1 pound notes to provide a gala spectacle for my community to see.

sorry i have more to say.

this is a superbly decorated boeing 727 that was for sale and the asking price was $ 1.7 million. yummy.
Image

here is another cheaper 727 that was going for $900,000

Image



this is a bedroom in it
Image


here is a strange room that i would alter.
it is a waiting room of sorts i guess.
Image

this is the dining room
Image

and a comfortable area in the front of the plane
Image

a ferrari would cost more than this 727, and a corporate 727 is what i would first buy if i had lots of money.

Wow, I like that jet, I'd buy one of those too!

It's kinda hard to think about climate change when something's that cool, LOL!

Nice jets! I'm certainly getting one of them when I'm rich, not before my Lamborghini, though.
