I think you guys are underestimating the power of a _billion_ dollars.
Basically that would give you $20 million a YEAR to blow for the rest of your life. That's $55,800 a day.
So every single day of your whole life, you could:
Wake up.
Catch a cab to a car dealership
Buy a pretty nice car (with cash)
Drive it around town on the tank of gas that it came with
Blow it up / drive it into a lake / bury it in your backyard / give it to somebody / etc
Repeat as desired.
If you waited a week, you could buy a decent house... then blow it up on saturday and start again the next week. ROFL.

If you waited a week, you could buy a decent house... then blow it up on saturday and start again the next week. ROFL.I would buy about 100 acres of land overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Vancouver. no idea how much it costs, say, 75 million?
I would build 25 mansions on this land, total cost of about 100 million.
I would relocate and get new jobs for all my close family and friends in Vancouver, and gift them each 2 or more acres of my 100 ac land, and one of the 25 mansions. All mansions, including my own, would be roughly equal. If they cannot find a job, or a good paying job, I will hire them for my real estate and development company.
I would setup a trust fund for my direct heirs, and reserve approximately 200 million in a safe, stable interest bearing account or fund.
I will start a real estate and development company. I will go into up and coming nations such as India, Hungary, etc. and invest heavily in land. Buying out entire city blocks of prime land. I will then develop hi rise office complexes and put them on rent. at the top of each office building there will be several suites, to be used as vacation homes when I want to get out of Vancouver. I will earmark 200 million for this, and will have no problems getting below prime rate loans if i need additional capital.
I will consider opening my own bank.
I would get myself a luxurious, nice, private jet. what, max 1 million?
I will donate the remaining 400 million or so to various charities and trusts that I have setup.

And that isnt counting interest off the money NOT spent per year.
Hrmm, I change my mind. Instead of taking over the world via a political party, I think I'd establish private schools all over the place and use the interest from the money left over to pay the teachers and staff very, very, very well to make it free, so anybody could come and get a good education and end up supporting my agenda and not be able to even concieve of another way, and we could make a new language called newspeak and... =-P
People you all forget how expensive it is to maintain and supply utilities to all your property and vehicles. You can't just live off interest if you want all this stuff, the people to run it, and keep it maintained.

That being said:
A nice 5 million dollar house. 5 Mill
Some nice Exotic cars and regular vehicles. 10 Mill
Private Helicopter and Jet. 75 Mill
Nice wardrobes of clothes. Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, Prada, Michael Kors, etc.
Take the other 910 Million and buy property and businesses, invest it in bonds/stocks, and manage the money wisely. I'd rather have a couple of billion before I started to "blow" it. You have to spend money to make money.

LOL, i like your style
I'll be contend with 10M before start blowing it and dish out my miser lifestyle.
Invest half of it in low risk mutual funds, and give the other half to my friend Asadulah who works in securities.

Small island - which I would immediately claim as an independant country and thusly afford no taxes to myself.
Defunct US nuclear missile silo - underground, which I would immedialy claim as my US embassy, but turn it into my own amusement park of sorts (those places are cool man, indoor painball and an indoor go-kart track!)
Stand a business of my choice, being multinational of course.
And have FUN!

Great idea, but you missed a point!
Start your own insurance first!
Very STUPID!
This thread makes me think you guys have NO concept of how much 1 billion dollars really is.
