brandice 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2005 The first thing I would do if I got a billion dollars- or any large sum of money- is split it 5 ways. I'd share with my mom and 3 sisters. Then I would donate a lot to women's shelters and food banks.... there are so many wothwhile charities out there that I'd probably give away most of my money.I would travel. And buy an island. Yes, you can buy islands- I picked out an island with monkeys on this website a long time ago: http://www.privateislandsonline.com/index.html Some of them are less that a million dollars, even.

Kubi 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2005 porch for the evening tea and watch the earth rise 151757[/snapback] And burn your eyes off? Have fun friend! It's been nice knowin ya. for example in Dubai they are building islands in cool shapes.Oh god...that - would - be - SWEET I'd buy an island(have one build) that was shaped like a hand. *cough*middle finger*cough*. Then inhabit the island with hot surfer chicks. Ohhh right.(tough thoughts for a 14*cough*15 in 3 days*cough*) year old isn't it? For the rest of it...I'd invest it in Krispy Kreme Stocks. You may think that's funny, but we played the stock marget game in school, and I came in 9ths place out of over 500 becuz I Had KKD. PWNAGE!!! You know what my price was? Friggin' 10 dollar gift cert for blackbuster...(omg) And a bit more I'd put into the bank. For you know, all the crappy parts of having a billion dollars.(taxes!), and ofcourse interest(not bad!)

icemarle 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2005 Hmm... This shouldn't be in the vent. The Vent forums is used to talk about your pains, annoyances and agressions. You should use this to talk about what you're upset about and for people to help you. Anyway, to get on the topic, I'll buy the gadgets and food I've been drooling over ever since. Then I'll invest that money and give some to my parents and friends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2005 Christ told a parable of a man who got rich like this:Luke 12:16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Peaktao 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2005 I would build a nice house (not too big...but just nice and comfortable)....Buy a dog (either St.Bernard or Golden). Most important thing in my house, there needs to be the grand piano.I would also have a music room (sound-proof) built in my house...And I would have another room installed with all the computer-based recording studio equipment. I 'll buy my mom and dad a gigantic house in an adjacant land...give them all servants. And...perhaps build also a swimmin pool, gym, and a driving range for them. I would probably establish a school. Donate some money. Then save the rest for my future kids! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Milovoriel 0 Report post Posted June 25, 2005 First thing I'd do is find some quality professional financial advisors ..... trying to manage that amount of money on your own would be a nightmare .... then I'd work out whose gonna benefit from my good fortune .... family, friends, charitable organisations .... Xisto, after all that, I'd just look around for some property, travel, maybe have some cosmetic surgery, (to rectify 42 years of living a "complicated" life) .... buy a man, (kidding ..... not!) the best thing about having all that cash, is the high you'd get from giving it away to others .... giving really is better than receiving .... Oh, and how much would $1 billion be in pounds sterling? .... I'm thinking it might be something approaching £1.7 billion ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brawler 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2005 Oooh, I like this question, it's great!I think I would also put my money in a bank with high interest so that I can get more money in the future.QUOTEAs for me, i am gonna buy an island ....... my own country -- the island...Believe it or not, this is actually illegal, you can't buy a natural island, but you can have one made, for example in Dubai they are building islands in cool shapes. It's not illegal to buy an island, it's just like buying any piece of land. For more information go to http://www.privateislandsonline.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
