If I have 1 Billion Dollars What Would I Do?

🌟🌟🌟1 Billion Dollars!  That 9 Zeros or 1,000 Million!  That is an humongous amount of money by any standards!  I know Taylor Swift 's Net Worth is USD 1.1 Billion but she is a Megastar.  To have that kind of money brings to mind how many starving people in war torn countries can we feed?  What about medical research to find a cure for cancer?  How about helping victims of domestic violence?  And providing education to children who never had the opportunity to go to school? The possibilities are immense.  Money to me is only a means to an end.  Money means Financial Freedom, freedom to see the world, freedom to help those less fortunate than us.  In giving money to the needy ones , the rewards are magnified ten fold, the satisfacti

$1 billion is only a fraction of Elon Musk's annual salary. He makes $18.3 billion a year over the past 11 years. Then he pledged to sell everything he owned including six mansions in California and has taken up residence in a studio-apartment (400 sq ft) sizes rental. He eats fat burner pills and have children just like all of us. With reference from that, I will live more comfortable if I have $1 billion. Basically I  will still live a normal, healthy life and keep good relationships with my relatives and friends. Whatever money is left when I pass away will be donated to the various charitable organizations. Hope that makes the world better. 
I will quit my job and I will do as follow:- 1) 200mils to buy property then collect rental. 2) 200mils to buy blue chip stocks that come with dividends. 3) 200mils to buy gold. 4) 200mils to buy ETF. 5) 200mils to buy bond. Every months,  I will donate $20k to the charity organisation and doing the voluntary job to help the needs. Of course, I will keep fit and eat healthy in order to live longer. I will also travel around the world to see the cultures of other countries. Please give me a like to support me. @Fenger1188  @顶底之星  @pfitz  @吴桂利 <
PCT: If You Have 1BillionUSD What Will You Do v10.0 : PCT = Pandas Coffee Talk. Me as a BBA Coach. Recommend you start spending with a cheapskate simple systems. Don't take high unnecessary risks all into shares crypto or some rich fast business ventures. A study have shown. Lottery winners who strike 1MillionUSD. These new found wealth cannot last more than 5Years. If these lottery millionaires come up with a simple systems to spend 2000.00USD a month. They can retire 50Years span without working. But most invest in shares crypto & business ventures which they don't understand. And lose them all.
my house is worth $1mil. multiply that by 1000 = $1bil. im sorry. am I the only person who cannot grasp/comprehend the amount/value of $1b?! I simply cannot id probably use 1% to pay off the mortgage, set up a trust fund for kids, reinvest & retire with the gains of reinvestment. 99% to be donated to various causes that empower kids. they are our future
Replying to @SR050321:My dream to open business that can create a better life as many human can be, village can be self sufficient so that no youngsters need to leave their parents to work in the city. //@SR050321:So nice to be rich and generous, at some stage money got to give away because have enough and want to make other happy, $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ is really good to invest long term 😍

Honestly, I'll utilize it on my needs before considering to do charity. First of all is to settle all my loans, keep part of the money in fixed deposits (low risk) and invest in stocks/mortgage (medium risk), and then fulfill my family's needs. I'll prefer to help out the  community around me since I'm more familiar with their condition rather than strangers.

Definitely will have the means for such philanthropy. But also will invest it so that it remains sustainable to continue such works. Of course, treat self and family too. @Universe宇宙 @Fenger1188 @SPOT_ON @DiAngel @AliceSam @rL @Kaixiang @HelenJanet @Success88

If I had $1 billion, I would consider investing a portion of it in sustainable projects and technologies, donating to charitable causes, supporting education and research initiatives, and ensuring financial security for myself and my loved ones.

If I had a 1bn windfall, I would donate 20% of it, gift 10% to my family, spend 1% of it, then invest all of the rest so that I can stop working for money and do what I enjoy aka FIRE. But.... that's just a dream... So stop dreaming and carry on working!
I probably only need 10mil to live a super comfortable lifestyle. The remainder will go to charities but not directly in the form of money instead in things they could use. We all know every dollar donated 90c is used to run the charity
If i have $1 Billion i will definitely 60% put on stock especially buy bank stock to earn dividends in Singapore. and 40% will use for my own. Be it put in multiple basket like fix deposits, insurance, travel with family and etc.
So nice to be rich and generous, at some stage money got to give away because have enough and want to make other happy, $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ is really good to invest long term 😍
Quit job Split money into 3 portions. Invest, Spend, Donate. With the free time I have, spend with loved ones, travel, hobbies, keep fit, and so much more.
I will invest in BTC related ETF such as $Bitwise Bitcoin ETF(BITB)$ and divertify the asset into $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ &$Invesco QQQ Trust-ETF(QQQ)$

Donate a portion, spare another portion for loved ones and likely invest the rest in sustainable dividend stocks for continual dividend.
I would set up an account at vets in New Zealand, where anyone can go in and get their pet desexed and microchipped free of charge.
