Re: If you gained 1 billion dollars....

Billions! That's way over what I need for me and my family to live comfortably.

I guess I'd build and run an orphanage with scholarship privileges to encourage kids to go to school, get the education they need until college so they can look for jobs that pay well.

I'd also create employment for poor families while educating them about stuff that matter. It's not enough that I get to feed them, what's even better is if they know how to feed themselves.

As for me, I'd buy a house and a car, get insurance, arrange investments and a small chunk of savings for the rainy days but I'd like to travel the world first before settling in one place :-)

Re: If you gained 1 billion dollars....

I would probably work on things i was interested, whether they earned money or not. You still have to fill the time with something. That and buying new toys.

I'll work on making it grow while at the same time, helping other people.

Half goes to investments and business/es, half goes to luxury. That would be so great!

Re: If you gained 1 billion dollars....

Every Christmas I try to find a waitress that's working on Christmas day because she needs the money and I tip her usually 100 bucks but if I had a billion I would make her owner of the restaurant she's working in.
A hundred bucks once a year isn't hard to do try it sometime its a good feeling.

Re: If you gained 1 billion dollars....

I have always said that if I won the lottery or something of that nature that I would still work. BUT, that would be assuming that whatever job I had at the time I really enjoyed.

I think that I would work but I would start my own business or invest in one that I felt really strongly about. That way working would be more rewarding!

Re: If you gained 1 billion dollars....

I would like to donate half of it to orphan kids who badly need money to survive. Rest 50% I will split it in to 2 parts.

Part 1 I will open an bike and car custom garage and will do business spare parts and engine oil for cars and bikes. Rest part 2 I will buy property or land which I can sell when the price will go higher.


These are not that good plan but for some people it will be. Because many orphan kids are getting support, many unemployed people can get work and can earn money and in the same time you can get wealthy

Re: If you gained 1 billion dollars....

If I had a billion dollars I would first have a house built (log cabin near a river or stream where I can fish). After that I would give everyone in my family $1 million dollars apiece. And then I would travel the United States and buy stuff around the country to furnish my house. I would also give a few million to charity. Oh and I would put a couple of million aside in a high-yield savings account and that gain interest and only use it as a safety net. I may get a job, but that's after having some fun with the money first.
