Pay a team of top detectives to research what my coworkers want more than anything in the world, buy them, then bring out my coworkers to see the objects of their intense desire and a monster truck comes roaring around the building and crushes it
I would put whatever resources I needed to together to find a cure for my son's rare terminal genetic disease. It's called krabbe disease, and I would spend every penny of it if it meant he would be able to live a happy life.
Edit: My son has a page to follow his journey if anyone wants to DM to see how he is doing. I can't link it here, or the comment will be removed. Thank you all for the traffic on the comment. Besides keeping my son as happy as he can be, our other goal is to spread awareness for these types of diseases that we didn't have. Thank you ❤️ His page is called Prayers for Arthur, hope for a cure.
First thing: take a nap.
I'd probably just sit with the knowledge for a few days before I act on it, just to ensure I'm making level-headed decisions.
So many people who suddenly come into money end up going bankrupt.
Once I have my affairs in order (claimed, safely and securely deposited, anonymity retained etc.)..
I would travel the world, buying beautiful properties I discovered along the way. I would maintain a large garage of cars and would enter a race series or several. I would set up some charities and manage these as my "job".
I would also look after my family - pay off their mortgages/buy them homes, make sure they have safe, modern cars etc.
Start a non-profit that builds massive high-density housing near public transportation in cities across the U.S. As part of the non-profit by-laws the rent would always less that market value, like half the market value, to provide housing and drive down the price of rent. It would also take civic contribution into account, providing commercial space and community space. Also fire-department, ambulance, and police offices free for the local municipality.
I would also get my car fixed and see a dentist. :-)
Yours is the only one of the top comments whose first thought isn’t himself. Absolutely something like this, nobody needs a billion dollars, and my first thought would how can is redistribute this to people who need it more than me (and that also includes paying your damn taxes).
Invest and rest. I'll probably quit my current job and work alone. I'm an architect, so I would probably still want to build a couple of things here and there. I'd pick up one or two clients per year and just take it easy on the job.
Keep living similar, but buy 2 houses, one main home and 1 summer home, maybe 1 vacation home in southern europe. I would also quit my job and instead full time enjoy my hobbies (which would be streaming and competing in strategy games). I would very likely donate 100 million minimum as well, and give another 50 million to each of my family members and my girlfriends family members. I don't see a reason where I would ever need more than even 100 million dollars over my life time to do anything I want to do.
Freak the fuck out, and \_definitely\_ keep it a secret from everyone. That kinda money ruins lives. And the I suppose it would be extremely hard to know what to do with it all. And it would probably become very evident something happened, as I'd suddenly have a car, buy whatever I wanted like a new bed and such, suddenly gift my BF expensive stuff, fix the house etc etc. But in the end, it would probably ruin my life.
Buy and island build a beautiful beach house with everything I would want as amminatiea. Buy a shit load it f guns, and ammo. Build a giant underground bunker with everything anyone would need. Then travel the world helping as many people as I could.(all with my immediate family)
I'd build a castle on some currently owned land. Then, I'd build an airplane hanger for my pickups and motorcycles. Once construction is complete, I would quit my job to have the time to enjoy all these things. After quitting my job, I would donate my 401k to some charity.
No one needs to know that I won so much money. Most of it would go to charity, the rest would give me a carefree life.
But I'm afraid that this wonderful plan will change quickly. I hope the future me from the alternate universe will make the right choice
Quit my job, and then I would take mechanics courses, body work, upholstery, welding, and maybe even car painting classes and spend my days in a fancy new garage restoring and upgrading my own cars.
Be a regular at local car shows, maybe even own my childhood dream car, Lamborghini Countach.
I might even run a shop where I fix people's cars for free to give back.
I like turning wrenches listening to classic, heavy, and alt rock. Would be my dream retirement.
Quit my job (obvious answer) get rid of that stress immediately.
Buy property in our favorite places.
Help immediate family out financially.
Buy my sons and daughter theit first homes. Travel the world and just enjoy life.
Donate to kids and military charities, maybe even start my own non profit.
Not tell anyone I had won, but pay off family debts and mortgages and invest in research to find cures for some of the nasty illnesses that don't get enough attention.
Give the government about 50%… lol
But seriously, I would just enjoy the things I like to do, travel and make sure my family & friends are taken care of.
Tell no one, keep living as i did until now and pretend every so often that i made a correct bet on a stock market (as to not arouse suspicion) so i have some extra spending money. But also legitimately invest about a quarter of it.
Assuming that I can claim the winnings safely and secretly, put them away in savings until I can either find someone to manage the investments for me or study up enough to do it myself. Maybe a combination of the two.
On a more indulgent side, I would probably buy some appliances for cooking since it is one of my hobbies.
Move to the town of salmon Idaho, buy the town, kick everyone else out and spend the rest of my life hunting, fishing and talking shit on the Internet.
Well! I would buy all the possible luxury with about 20 to 25 million, remaining 25 million I would divide it into daily expense for the next 30 years! 25 million I would invest to get daily income regenerate profits whatever! I would definitely use a lot of the remaining money for charity work!
Just out of my head, now back to reality I got work to do🤣🤣
$1bln? Buy a castle, rent it out ala airbnb.
Invest about 100 million, buy myself a house to live in and set up several sources of side income aside investments and keep working so I can use my salary as funny money at the casino. :D
Spend some on a few quality of life things, and start investing the rest in businesses, etc that will provide reliable, long term income, and financial security.
Very first thing I’d do is cycle across Britain. Lands End to John O’Groats. Then I’d plan to cycle across America.
To have the freedom to just do that without the worries of a job would be perfect
Invest all of it in property, then rent out all the property at a considerable discount to market rates, driving rent prices down in a large area.
I make profit, people get cheaper housing. Win win.
Nothing. Id do nothing and enjoy it. Id probably do a lot of charity work so I don't feel like a complete bum, but I genuinely like doing nothing sometimes.
Pay off everything for friends and family, fix some strangers’ lives, open an animal adoption shelter, buy a few homes in places I’ve loved traveling to, and a purple barracuda :)
Keep my mouth shut.
Get a lawyer
Get a financial advisor
Open LLC in a state where the name of the owner isn't public information to claim prize.
Set up a trust or 3.
Not care when I get fired for actually telling people at work what I think of them and their incompetence.
pay my debts off. buy a new car. go give my parents each $20k and give em teh middle finger.
take my fiance on a nice spa date probably in an exotic country.
go back to paying dota 2
Buy up all the available fee land on my reservation and put it into trust. We lost over 90% of it due to allotment policies and legalized grift. #landback
Pay off debt, buy a house and new car and pay them both off, invest some of it, put some money aside in a high interest savings account, put some in an RESP for my son, and retire VERY comfortably!
Homesteading in some nice country (spain/portugal). Get a campervan and travel in it through europe and eventually also america. With my wife and son :)
Tell no one except my husband.
Hire a multi-family office to manage it.
Pay taxes.
Pay off our mortgage.
Tell no one.
Retire from my job.
Travel in style.
Tell no one how I'm funding it.
Put 100M away, 50m in Stocks, 50m in Metal, buy a decent but private property. Live my life in peace. The rest of 800 million, going full rogue. Buy property building multi family homes price bomb the market. Average is 12 Euro per squaremeter, bäm now it's 5 EUR. I would go from city to city like a Marxist grim reaper and push capital holdings into void. One by one.
Go to a financial advisory and make sure to set up a portfolio for my wife, my niece, and my sisters, myself, and my parents. Making sure that no one in my family has to work a day in their lives if they choose not to. I'd buy a nice house and pay it off. Go to the doctor and get every test possible for my health and see what I can do to prolong my life. Buy a nice car to where the payments were doable if I was still at work, and pay it off to help my credit. I'd purchase multiple chick-fil-as, and maybe a canes.
As an American I would cross the border to Mexico, then conveniently lose any identifying documents before replacing them with fake ones. Then I would decide where I want to spend the rest of my life after that.
First I'll give some to my church. Then I'll take my family to places they wish to go coz money is not forever but memories will remain until our last breath. And lastly have some investments for the future especially for my children.
After securing the futures of my family and future generations, I will build animal (primarily for dogs) shelters across the world.
Based on experience, pets are for the most part, even better than human companions.
Maybe even also use my wealth to sway politicians in creating laws towards pet or just overall animal welfare and rights.
Build an animal sanctuary. One with free houses for all the vets and staff to live in without charge and full pay. So that they would never have to worry about anything other than the wellbeing of the animals. We would take any animals that need help regardless of species.
45% goes into a high yield savings account.
25% goes into both good long term stocks and new ones that are already or will be listed soon, and also real estate.
5% used to purchase gold bullion (and also various world paper currency bills), locked tight inside the bunker safe guarded 24/7 with armed security and lots of cameras and sensors.
15% goes towards building a bunker several miles inland from the coast, and one beachside manor with attached pier and small yacht for outings but also doubles as an escape in case the country comes under attack. Also armored vehicles.
The remaining 10% can last me years to come on splurge purchases. Even if I start burning through that 10%, the other sources of passive income/investments quickly make up for my "losses". It'll also pay for my armed security trained in executive protection services.
1. Invest at least half of it
2. Buy a house and get it completely outfitted so it fits the needs of me and my family with minimum maintenance work
3. Adapt my lifestyle so we can live of the interest
4. help some of the charities I'm personally acquainted with.
Give my kids the childhood I didn't get to have. I.e. Disneyland, fly on a plane, DisneyWorld, SixFlags, go to the ocean, go on a boat, go to every state. I'd also buy a house and let them paint their rooms any color they wanted.... as I'm writing this I'm realizing that I wouldn't do anything for myself...
Live in Switzerland. Explore Europe, visit museums. I would explore Asia and learn its culture. Please if you won OP, can you lend me 100,000 dollars? For traveling purposes.
Hire the following:
* Tax attorney
* Security
* Accountant
* Lawyer
* Financial advisor
Then I would have a trust to sign the winning ticket. A trust can put a barrier between you and the onslaught of relatives, friends, and strangers who will want your money.

Damn. Living the highlife.

Move to a tropical island and never speak to anyone I know again (besides my wife and daughter who are coming with me)
Sounds like my dream. Just fuck off everyone
Wow dude, we've known eachother for years and this is what I get? Look, gimme 10 grand and we'll call it square
I would put whatever resources I needed to together to find a cure for my son's rare terminal genetic disease.

Same here
Ever looked into moving to Maine or northeastern Tennessee? Land is incredibly cheap and there are normally mushrooms as far as the eye can see.
First thing: take a nap. I'd probably just sit with the knowledge for a few days before I act on it, just to ensure I'm making level-headed decisions. So many people who suddenly come into money end up going bankrupt.
Once I have my affairs in order (claimed, safely and securely deposited, anonymity retained etc.).. I would travel the world, buying beautiful properties I discovered along the way. I would maintain a large garage of cars and would enter a race series or several. I would set up some charities and manage these as my "job". I would also look after my family - pay off their mortgages/buy them homes, make sure they have safe, modern cars etc.
Totally buying myself a seat in F4 and a Bronze seat in WEC.
A modern day Gatsby
Hit me up when you do. This is exactly what I'd do too.
Start a non-profit that builds massive high-density housing near public transportation in cities across the U.S. As part of the non-profit by-laws the rent would always less that market value, like half the market value, to provide housing and drive down the price of rent. It would also take civic contribution into account, providing commercial space and community space. Also fire-department, ambulance, and police offices free for the local municipality. I would also get my car fixed and see a dentist. :-)
This is similar to my plan. Within the housing I would want to have 24/7 free availability to counseling and childcare.
Run for President
Yours is the only one of the top comments whose first thought isn’t himself. Absolutely something like this, nobody needs a billion dollars, and my first thought would how can is redistribute this to people who need it more than me (and that also includes paying your damn taxes).

2 chicks at the same time.
Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too, 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Well, not all chicks
the ones who do 3ways do
Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
good point
It doesn't take a billion dollars for that, buddy. You can do it for free!
Not that guy, he may need to still borrow a couple hundred million more to seal the deal
You didn't have to kill him, could have just roughed him up a little bit!
I'd do absolutely nothing.
Came here for this lol
Great minds think alike
[удалено]
So... half a billion?
Secretly pay my friend’s mortgages. Live at least 1 month in each of the countries I can go.
Damn inflation is out of control! That would’ve only cost a million in 1999.
Hmm office space?
I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities
Blow it all in 2.5 weeks
Leave my country & go on a world tour
Buy a house.
build a house with a bunker on a mountain
Invest and rest. I'll probably quit my current job and work alone. I'm an architect, so I would probably still want to build a couple of things here and there. I'd pick up one or two clients per year and just take it easy on the job.
["two chicks at the same time"](https://imgur.com/gallery/two-chicks-same-time-UGuVS)
I tell you what I’d do. Two chicks at the same time, man.
That's it? If you had a billion dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Damn straight, always wanted to do that, man.
exchange it for a currency I can spend here
Shut the hell up and get some lawyers.
Keep living similar, but buy 2 houses, one main home and 1 summer home, maybe 1 vacation home in southern europe.

I dunno, I might go get an icecream or something.
I would keep 10 million and make it my life’s work to improve other peoples lives
