Post by: Allama on July 02, 2015, 04:11:22 PM: I'd donate the majority to charity, keeping enough left over to start or take over a business that'd (hopefully) keep me afloat going forward. Perhaps I'd invest in real estate.

Money evaporates fast when you have a lot...

With such a silly amount of money, one's life can be whatever one wishes for.
As for FIRST (#1) purchase, I chose a house, a base for my further developement of my life. I would build it in a spot where I have access to my own water source and where I can be self-sufficient in energy, preferably solar panels, but wind energy is fine too. A completely recyclable house, where all waste (as far as possible) will be re-used and with a greenhouse that can provide basic vegetables.

After that I would probably use my fortune to fight for those less fortunate, for women's rights, for democracy, the limitation of governmental power and for freedom of the individual in general.

Ahh, all that wishful thinking...

Wow, the rest of us spent it on ourselves. How selfish of us.

Well, I'm sort of selfish myself. I am interested in these things, so given that kind of asset, I would persue my interests. Having said that, I would probably spend some on educating myself, but with no specific exam in mind, just to read up on what I am interested in. I would probably also create some scheme to make money so I could survive even if my enemies came down hard on me. (wich they probably would, if I threatened their power and money-grabbing)

Post by: Delfos on July 07, 2015, 12:50:34 AM: well I'd like to have a factory, that way I can also "have" a commune of workers and help them in my ability (better than Schindler I promise), and have my self-centered career option going (which isn't owning a factory, but owning a factory is a humongus plus to a Designer). Hopefully I'd be able to keep generating money to eternity, but I'd likely never be rich bc I'd always be spending it.

I'd give some money away to various things but not donate too much, my enterpreneurings would likely take up most of it which would be in a way helping people, creating jobs and whatnot.

If it was possible I'd like to build an arts school where I live and be awesome and inclusive. (We have an arts university where I live, but no "artistic education" highschool). The best we have is in Lisbon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escola_Secund%C3%A1ria_Art%C3%ADstica_Ant%C3%B3nio_Arroio

I'd invite Nikki to flash that cash as well.

Post by: St Oz on July 07, 2015, 06:54:01 AM: Pffft, Like I'd ever donate it (except for tax reasons).

But then I'll just donate to my own organization with a 15% overhead like bill gates does (I don't know if he actually does that)

Post by: The Empire on July 07, 2015, 08:15:28 AM: I'd instantly buy a property on my island of birth and build a house of my own basic design on it. Self sufficient on renewable power with a gas fuel steam turbine for backup, and with a soil-free subterranean greenhouse.
Second I'd pay off all my loans and then buy a vintage tank. The remaining money would be invested into world-improving research.

Post by: The Church of Satan on July 08, 2015, 07:22:04 AM: I'd pay off my debts, get a humble 2 story house (furniture & whatnot as well,) a car (nothing special,) then get a bad ass computer and use the rest of the money for bills, food, etc.
