Give it to the bum behind the 7-11 so he can quit asking me for money all the time.

How about having an investment company. Be like Warren Buffet. He's really famous because of his business and i'm sure he has to travel all around the world looking for good investment opportunities and meeting with important people.

i would probably start by creating an online business that deals with what you are trying to do. That could help you obtain the capital needed to start you big business

Pay off my house,buy another,pay off my bills & credit them for years to come.I would pay off my church's building & remodel it,give some to family members,charities & tithe 10% to my church.  Now out of curiosity,what would you do with that much of money?\n\nBe Blessed

1-I'd tithe 10% (cause you better be thanking God for the money)\n\n2- Create a company based on my hobby. Lone the company the remainder of the money. Go to work for that company and bill it all my expenses.\n\nresult- I'll have my own company. I'll have fun working it. I'll make a profit doing what I do. I'll pay less taxes cause I don't have the money my company does. \n\nThat's what I'd do.

Uhm. Open a bank account?? *shrugs*\n\nI'm sorta thinking life wouldn't change.......or maybe I just wouldn't allow life to change. I'd probably donate it to the "Won a kazillion dollars in the lottery and don't know what to do with it" Organization that would make sure it got to the people in need in this world that rightfully deserve it. And then I'd go call the one person I enjoy being around more than any other and ask him if would like to go to a baseball game. yeah.....that's "now what." :)

dreaming and planning is good, but thinking about a billion or billions or even borrowing that kind of money is just out of the question.  If you had that much money or could get that much money you wouldn't be asking us how to invest it.  If you had it you would put your portfolio in mixed investments plus have trusts, lend it, put some in real estate, and give it away to the needy for tax purposes.

There's one way that I know of: Sleep.\nI once became a billionaire while I was sleeping. Then the lousy alarm rang;-)\nApart, think in small steps. No one becomes a billionare without first becoming a millionaire or without first having the first few dollars in the bank. So start making whatever you can. Work hard. May compunding help you.

I would put half into a savings account to live off of. New car, new house, you know.\n\nI would donate a million to Lukemia research.\n\nI would open a feral cat sanctuary... get them all spayed and neutered with shots, and let them live out their lives in peace. Pay a few kids to go in daily to clean litter boxes and give food and water.\n\nI would go traveling... I would go see stone henge, the galapagos, soda lake, the great wall, easter island, the mayan ruins...

I would start at home. I would walk my dogs across the fields to my favourite pub, have a pint of Old Peculiar, walk home and have a simple meal with my wife and kids, then cuddle up with them in front of the fire to watch a movie we all love, and I would give the $100,000,000 to Live 8, because it simply isn't enough to pay for the day I've just had

a decent car would be first. then a house, odds and ends, and i would put the rest in a saving account to draw interest.
