In order to spend $1 billion in 365 days, one would have to spend an average of $2,739,726.03 per day (assuming no interest is computed). :Q

What would you spend it on?

Charity. Seriously, I'm not trying to be goody-goody, but I couldn't possibly spend that much money. I don't want to be that rich.

They sure wouldn't cost a Billion.

After buying the team, this would be the new starting lineup.


1B - Todd Helton
2B - Bret Boone
SS - Normar Garciaparra
3B - Alex Rodriguez
RF - Albert Pujols
CF - Ichiro
LF - Barry Bonds

I'd buy everyone in my family a brand new fully furnished house (however they want) and a brand new car or cars of their choice. I'd then do the same for myself plus some toys I've always wanted then just donate the rest. Charities, disease research, animal shelters, childrens hospitals, ectera. There's no other way I'd be able to spend all that cash in just a year.

I'd buy every item I ever wanted, go every place I ever wanted. That wouldnt cover it.
But hell, I wouldnt rightly care either.

I'd buy out a small company and fire everyone...then, if I had any money left, I would start up a new company, and hire everyone I fired. That would be humorous to me.

I've got a list about a mile long...but it probably works out to just ten million dollars...college tuition, rent, parental debts, etc...

I know what I'd do! I'd buy a ride into space! That would be so cool...(no pun intended). After that I'm too sure.
