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.

OK, according to my converter, £100,000,000,000 is $1,418,500,073. Some help for the Americans :D

I would buy a home, pay the bills for a years worth, go on holiday and build a supercomputer. Probably buy a home for my brother and his family too. And anything else I need to do. Maybe get some nice clothes, not because they are expensive, but because I like them

Convert it into something more stable.

I would leave home and move to Italy. Then I'd spend some on designer clothes, a nice car (not TOO expensive on the car, though, apparently driving in Italy is kinda risky, so I don't wanna waste my cash!), then I'd invest the remainder/hit the slot machines! :D

Put some of it in savings and risk-free investments.
Then, in line with your choice of currency,
I'd buy the Brantwood House in Cumbria and live happily ever after.

I'd buy my beloved Parma Football Club in Italy, and turn it into Champions League material.

I'd get me a nice house on the East coast.

I'd get me any small luxuries I desire. (Car, bike, games etc.)

Keep a bit to do some travelling.

And then I'd give the rest to charity. Seriously, all that money would drive you nuts, especially trying to look after it.

Wow, this is fun :P
Here's what I would do:


-Move to somewhere exciting. (e.g. Australia or Las Vegas).
-Get me and my family a huge mansion.
-Get a sports car.

Hmmm, I wish I was rich :scratch:

First I'd move to America, then get a huge mansion complete with cinema-sized TV, swimming pool, and anything else that's cool. :D

I'd spend it on booze, birds and fast cars, and then squander the rest.

Or, if I didn't want to channel George Best, I'd quit my job, buy a huge house, pay off my parents' mortgage, give the guy who runs my local comic shop a huge bag of cash (because he deserves it, after having had to put up with me for the last 13 years :P), and then build a suit of cybernetic armour so I could save the world from the imminent takeover by the machines.

I'd buy a huge house with land somewhere nice. I'd buy a porsche and another fancy car. Then I'd keep some money to last me a very long time and give the rest to charity.
