eff man, I don't even know.
Buy a new car.
Pay off my house.
Get a new wardrobe.
Haircut.
Fund my kids' 529's.
Take a vacation.

:lol: that's about .01%

Donate $1B to KSU
Donate $500 M to KSU Rugby

Now I am closer to 4%.

I would pay someone to figure out how I should spend my money for the most enjoyment.

I would have a bunch of kids and then leave all of my money to various charities. Sorry kids. No more gravy. :lol:

I wouldn't trust somebody with my enjoyment. I would say, "Here is $35 B, you get 0.1% of whatever you can make it earn every year. Put the other $5 B in the bank for spending money. I'd love to walk into my old home town bank and say, "Bob, I'd like to open up an account again."

I would hire Megadeth to play my graduation party next December and then throw a bunch of rotten tomatoes and heads of lettuce at them. Every one in attendance would be required to do so.

I would definitely own at least a few cable tv news networks so that I could tell the masses what to think.

Well if I didn't like the first outing they planned then I would fire them (good severance package tho) and hire a new person. It would probably be one of my friends who knows what I enjoy doing.

That is a hand out, not a hand up. You need to really help them, not just do something to make yourself feel good. But the fun and memorable things would be pretty cool. Would you include any gE friends?

I would buy all the land around Lawrence... Dig a giant ditch all the way around it... and fill it with sewage and toxic waste.

You'd stay in school? Good choice. Don't want to be a rich dummy!

It's a whole lot more cost effective to just buy the government.

I don't want the government. I want the physical plot of land.
