<p>if you were given that kind of money, what would you do with it?</p>

<p>I'd use it as follows:</p>

<p>-pay for college.
-buy a place to live.
-pay off debts (if I had any at the time it was given to me)
-get the latest cell phone/fax machine/lap top/ computer...etc..
-hire a small army of people to clean and cook for me.
-start a small business.
-put whatever I have left in the bank
-donate 3 % of it every year.</p>

<p>quit my job and ...1) coach kids for a living ... and 2) run my charitable organization that would use about $850M for an endowment and hopefully give away $50+M every year. It's the first $100M or so that's a killer trying to get to a billion ... after that first $100M it gets easy.</p>

3

<p>quit school and buy a nice mattress and go to sleep... im so tired i can hardly see straight</p>

4

<p>I'd buy an island and chill there my whole life</p>

5

<p>I'd buy a small country, lol. Or do some charitable thing.</p>

6

<p>I would give away $871,000,000, and use the other $5,000,000 to build a vast private library. Thats all I want. A huge room filled with books. And time. :p</p>

7

<p>You can buy time, or at least the lack of things to fill up your time.</p>

8

<p>Yes. Set aside 4.5 million for life, and $500,000 for the library. (eBay books)</p>

9

<p>You'd need more than that to get some of the really good/rare books. A lot of books sell for over $100.</p>

10

<p>$1,000,000 it is then. Perhaps I should get a scanning electron microscope while I'm at it..</p>

11

<p>You could get some really awesome lab equipment for that much. Also, you could hire a butler to buy your books for you.</p>

12

<p>buy cc then destroy it</p>

13

<p>oo... books. I would only buy those if they were famous and had some real historic value.</p>

14

<p>Why? Don't you like to read?</p>

15

<p>You can get books from the library... no point in spending all your money on them unless you actually plan to read them again and again and again.</p>

16

<p>Yeah, but just having them...and the library doesn't always have all the books you want.</p>

17

<p>I'd buy all the Michael Moore books in the world and burn them in one massive bonfire.</p>

18

<p>i'd buy a lot of illegal drugs and live a hedonistic life.</p>

19

<p>Why Michael Moore? Wouldn't all the Democrats be enough?</p>

<p>I would probably use the money to fix various body parts, considering I would have a heart attack and/or faint (probably on something dangerous) when I found out how much money I had.</p>
