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

i'd buy a big turnip in the country

1. Convert to local currency.
2. Pay off house mortgages.
3. Pay off bills.
4. Wii Points.
5. Donate. Possibly bumped up to one, more than 78 percent chance.
OR:
Buy Island and small home, have Wi-Fi connections, declare own country.
Donate leftover.

I would buy a house on a big piece of property, lots of trees, big open space. I would have a few dogs, cats, and invest in classic cars. I would most likely get ones that need work done on them and then I would have to hire someone to help me fix them because I want to learn but I don't know what I'm doing beyond a tire or oil change. But I've always wanted to make over a classic.

I'd create a massive gaming themed theme park, possible as big as Disney World, Florida. £100bn should be enough, right?

I forgot to add in a cruise liner or two as a business venture.

Something that resembles a ship rather than a floating hotel and not to fly a flag of convenience either.

Oh too easy:

Tell my boss where to stick his job.

Then hire a hitman to take out every person who's ever p*ssed me off (although the cost of the bullets alone would put a sizeable dent in it).

After that I'd maybe email some Nigerian scammers and say that I have '£10,000,000 trapped in a bank' and would they be prepared to help me get it out in return for a cut of the cash

I'd do the hitman thing that TheNeil said and I'd also use some of the cash to fund scams like on Hustle

Changed my mind --- I will buy new clothes, then buy a big SUV, then buy a loft apartment in an American inner city or near an Australian/New Zealander beach... then just slack on.

Fund a mission to Mars. There would still be 50,000,000,000 remaining, plus they'd remember me as the eccentric billionare who funded space geeks who landed on Mars. I'd buy a big chunk of Microsoft with the remaining money and live in a beach house in Hawaii near a small airport so I can fly my Cessna around the islands.

I don't want cars or huge house or riches or anything like that. But I do want a Cervelo P4 with Zipp 808 wheels though.

i'd get a cool apartment

new things

and also do a world-tour, visiting internet friends, and be very naughty-.

Fund a lot of research projects that have insufficient funding.

I would by us a house in the centre city first of all...Then I also would love to have a boat and a house somewhere on the countryside....more cats and a car.. and have afford my husband to stay off work for a period and send him off to take drivers license so somebody can drive the car....

Kill myself, because the only way it would even be possible to obtain "£100,000,000,000" is if inflation had skyrocketed due to an economic crisis which made the Great Depression look like a picnic.

If I received $1.4 billion dollars,
which would be the equivilant of 100 billion pounds,
this is what I'd do with it.

$275 million would go to charity

$80 million would go to my mom

$80 million would go to my older sister

$150 million would go to my high school

$150 million would go to Portland Community College

The rest I'd ditch in a Swiss bank account.

I'd get:
a spinning wheel
Rowan's Aran Scottish Tweed in a nice gray shade
Rowan's Fine Milk Cotton in humbug, pastille and barley sugar
circular knitting needles in every size
Enough wool fiber and dye
Mulberry silk fiber
A kitchenaid mixer in Ice Blue
A trip to Paris so I could taste some chocolate cake at La Duree.

- An apartment close to my university
- A chauffeur + car to get me there if it'd take longer than 40 minutes to walk
- A home for my parents + someone to take care of them once they get older (and when I'm not around)
- And one for my sister (and boyfriend)
- A huge cage for our guinea pig, with one section where fresh grass can grow
- A trip to Japan + I'd sign up for a year at a Japanese language school there + mukade and hornet free accommodation.
- I'd also get the galliano dress I've been drooling over for some time and a dress made of delicate silk
- Later on, much later on, I'd get a house for myself, perhaps with a swimming pool that mimics the ocean or a lake (so fresh (salt) water instead of yucky chlorinated water).
- Spending money for my sister, mum and dad.

I'd anonymously give money to certain charities and fund certain research..thingies..organisations? (e.g. ones researching psychiatric/neurological disorders etc.).
