To improve the world...? I saw a JayZ Biography special last night where he went to Africa and helped/donated money to improve clean water in certain areas.

Would you utilize your newfound and vast resources to help those in need?

If so, where would you start?

Not necessarily famous, but wealthy? Yes.

Where? It really depends, India is the first place that comes to mind though because it's where my parents are from.

I would start with trying to change inner cities to instill importance of education and that despite what Jesse Jackson tells them, that they can make it in life without "special" help. Teaching others to help themselves is the most humanitarian thing anyone can do.

I would model myself like those super rich guys that drive around in F150s. I would use my wealth to live comfortably but not to show it off. The rest I would use to try to help with various causes in NA. Probably would fund medical research and work on the homelessness problem.

You don't have to be wealthy to help people and improve the world, we're improving the lives of a lot of sick kids here in ATOT one Princess Peach cartridge at a time :)

If I were wealthy I have other projects I'd work on, but I'd be able to give much more to existing charities like Child's Play and Northwest Harvest (food bank supplier) that make lives better.

If I am wealthy and famous, I do not donate, but I will invest 99.99% on new technology on poor countries!
0.01% stays for my future educations!
