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

I'd buy a house and land, set aside some to pay the taxes on said house and land, give some to family, buy more clothes because I don't have that many, and support homeless shelters and hospitals.

And park some in a bank so that the interest can be a continuing source of income.

Wow. I don't think you guys quite understand the kind of money we are talking about. It is about three or four times what Bill Gates has. This money can buy an entire foreign country. It can buy the largest companies in the World. Mere 10 million would be more than enough to live off interest for the rest of your life. With 100 billion you could pretty much start your own country.

Take a sizeable chunk of it and invest it wisely for the future.
Donate some to a couple charities which have helped me out.
Then I'd go shopping.

I want a boat, a comfortable, classy, wooden, boat. Not too big. Not too small. Sails and a motor too. Would like to have it built to order by a boatbuilder who really knows what they're doing.

Would like a house, not too big, not too small. With a 'quiet side' where I can get away from other people's noise and commotion. It needs to be a great place for my wife's plants. We both do model trains and would like a room for that. She quilts and sews, want a room for that and a long-arm quilting machine.
Would like to have a back garden with those Garden Railway trains.
Know they're high maintenance, but would like a swimming pool too.

Would like to take some of that money to set up some kind of endowment, scholarship, or something, or two somethings, which would truly help in places where help was truly needed.

Question is, if one has that much money, how much of his time is eaten up in managing that money?

I do NOT want to jack around with people who are trying to get any of that money away from me just because I have it to give.

Same here.

balls to buying a house, id get one built to my exact specifications

id also hirer some financial advisor's to make sure i invest it properly and i would make sure no one in my immediate family wouldn't have to work again and probably give buckets load to various charity's and what not.

Take all the money and move somewhere where family and peers will NEVER bother me again!! !

I'd move to America and get a huge mansion.... and lots of SpongeBob stuff!

I'd move to the USA, Hawaii maybe, and open a Ferrari museum with as many street cars and F1 cars as I could stock it with, and charge $1 admission ! !! !! !! !! !!




(TOP THAT)

I would convert it to kilograms.

I would buy A huge villa in aspen, a mountain top mansion in greece, and a old style mansion in england, and a penthouse in tokyo. I would furnish them all with cool stuff, and get a computer comany to make a custom processor, graphics, mother board ect for a uber computer! and lots of nice cars, and then a bribe for the police so I dont get arested for driving them. And to shut my dad up, a astin martin db9 for him...

- Buy a media conglomerate
- Donate some to worthy causes
- Set up a heap of scholarships etc. for financially disadvantaged students
- Hire a full time hitman/bodyguard
- Finally move out of home
- Begrudgingly give some to family members
- Open a casino
- Change my name to something cool sounding

I'm available. (Best to leave off the "hitman" part on official documents, though.)

You are so hired

1. Buy property in the middle of nowhere
2. Build an underground bunker
3. Fill said bunker with technology
4. Never leave said bunker
5. Live exactly as I do now, replacing a basement with a bunker; and a Pentium IV with a core i7

I'd take about $100 million and
give it to the State of Oregon
to help fill up a budget deficit.

Maybe I can consider putting the money in full into the Governator's pockets.... with strings attached.

I hope he can fund and improve California's community colleges.
