If you suddenly had 1 billion dollars, what would you do with it?

Question

AviatorTom · Answer

I was thinking of giving it to California so they could finally solve their homeless problem, but then, realizing it's California, that money would do little for the homeless, instead filling the pockets of corrupt officials and contractors.

So, I would invest 10 million for myself to live a normal life off of, including retirement.

Of the rest, I would give 50% to my favorite charity, St Jude's Children's Research Hospital, and the other 50% to a similar organization, Shriner's Hospitals for Children.,

Account · Answer

I would give/offer.

I don't need that.
Excessive money just doesn't do it for me and for me it is not power, even though for this society's standards it is.
I would only keep what I need/what is necessary to me.

I'd probably earmark half of it to charity, cover my expenses for a couple of years in bulk do I don't have to think about them. Travel a little and put the rest into lucrative savings for the future.

The good things part is throwing me off, because many places have spent well more than a billion dollars and money doesn't seem to solve the problems a lot of the times.

I guess I could go find a place that has hardcore infrastructure issues, and use the billion on fixing up small towns, maybe abandoned towns, try to rise something out of the ash. All the other major problems, people have put well more than a billion in and haven't had success.

If USD was real these days I'd burn it to deflate. But it's not even printed anymore. If you get paid in USD you literally work for nothing they don't print it. The banks don't have your money. Just ask for it back and they will tell you.

Build a big house out in the sticks and retire to a life of having barbecues and feasts with my friends

OfDeath · Answer

I would keep one tenth for myself and I would still feel very greedy about it but that money would do everything I need for the rest of my life.

The rest would go to causes related to improving medical care and medical science research.

Tax free? I'd buy a new house, a new car, take 100 million and create a foundation to help others and invest the bulk of it. I'd give money to my family, but they don't like money.😂
