If you suddenly inherited billions of dollars

[TheoPetro]

i would use 1/4 of the money to get rid of all the dumb animal charaties and use the resulting man power and $ to go towards the starving PEOPLE in the world instead of saving another dumb sealion.

another 1/4 would go into my house and land.

another 1/4 would go into buying as many geo metros as possable, mounting them with bumpers, and having the biggest bumper car event EVER!

the remaining 1/4 would go into setting up a professional laccrosse league in the USA and getting it as popular as football, ultimately ridding the USA of the crap that is baseball.

that's genius. but im afraid the geo metros can gain some speed over time and hit quite hard.

How much do nukes go for?

 

[Conky]

I would buy/commission the longest limo in the world and it would be a Hyundai.

 

[Locut0s]

Several things. I'd go to a restaurant, order everything on the menu then complain that everything needed salt. Then I'd tip the waitress 1000 bucks. I'd travel to Paris for lunch and Rome for dinner. I'd give a street beggar a hundred dollar note. I'd buy an island paradise.

1. I'd buy some some rare Magic the gathering cards, perhaps even a store to have tournaments at.
2. I'd set up or rent at least one server for cs:s, cod2, and bf2.
3. Build an outdoor firing range with moving targets, etc. The works.
4. Set up a huge array of computers for distributed computing. Perhaps these would be the same as my LAN center pcs.

What a nerd. I'd build a self contained Survival Compound somewhere in New Mexico, stock pile it with lethal weapons, have a flleet of off road vehicles, the type you'd see in a post acolyptic Mad Max movie and invite Ted Nugent over for a game of Russian Roulette. Of course I'd rig it so I'd win.

 

[techtonics]

I would build a theme park, name it Neverland, and invite the kiddies to come over and 'play'.

 

[arcenite]

Short of all of the typical things, I would invest in Gottadeal and save the rest.

 

[shilala]

I'd buy a new ass, mine has a crack in it.

Aside from that I'd buy a new plasma and pave the driveway.
This summer I'd build a deck and remodel the kitchen.

When I was done with that I'd probably build a castle out back for the kids and dogs and cats and wife to live in, and hire a 23 year old Amerasian maid to look after my, er, needs.

I probably do the same.

 

[lobadobadingdong]

Is Blizzard inc. for sale?

 

[Nocturnal]

LOL I was just thinking about that today. if I won a big jackpot or something I'd open up my own card store where people could play MTG and other games and a bunch of other stuff.

 

[Schadenfreude]

I'd have a dojo built into my (obligatory) mansion.

Hardwood floors, wooden walls, the works. And then I'd invite grandmasters from over the world to have private lessons.

 

[AmdEmAll]

I would build my own road course and have like 30 garages there to store my cars. I would have a couple of car lifts and every tool possible. Would also have a helicopter pad there and maybe a runway for my private jet. Oh yeah surround the land with an electric fence to keep people out lol.

OMG I love it. Make sure they have the "Blame Canada" South Park song playing while they do it.

 

[Hexx]

I build my personal track. Goodwood Festival of Speed style.
Would have a highspeed ring on the outside, Nurinburgring style. It would have to be near the foothills of a mountain, so I could have a hillclimb course and race GT2 Porsches.
Inside would have a complex-techinical track, and a cart track.
Using tirewalls the course could be changed to incorperate the highspeed ring/hillclimb/techinical track.
It then would have 6 track-preped Lotus Exige Cup Racecars in a nearby garage.
Invite friends over, have a hell of a time.

Also build one sick computer to do all the video editing I'm going to need after filming all the great races I would have.

Also donate to public works projects and other non-profits. (Improving town, schools, health)

 

[LookingGlass]

I'd buy a Big chunk of land, build a wild life refuge, hire my staff. Eventually pass it down to people I trust, so it can continue to thrive when I am gone.

 

[rocadelpunk]

buy every xbox360 and ps3...burn them

and buy everybody a nintendo revolution


: P

and a snow cone machine.

You inheriit a billion dollars and the first thing you get are magic the gathering cards.... are you some kind of super nerd, like some bionic nerd made from lesser nerds.

 

[potato28]

Anything that has the words Star Wars, Lego, and Light Saber. Also a Abrams M1A1, and some ammo...

 

[dainthomas]

I'd buy a chain of christian bookstores and convert all the inventory to pr0n and adult toys.

You only need a million dollars to hook that up.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I could hook that up with a million dollars."

But not all chicks dig a man with money...
