If I had 32 Billion dollars I would live in a extremely nice padded room, because I would have gone insane due to extreme paranoia.

Convert it to £. Buy the best PC available. Maybe a new car, then learn how to drive that new car. Buy a nice house for my all my family and friends. Buy all that anime and manga I've been meaning to buy then live happily forever.

I'm gonna take a break from talking about houses and talk about a few things I would like.

I would get a very renowned dollmaker or at least one who knew what he or she was doing to make me a perfect Souseiseki. So I would have MY Alice.

And it would become undoubtedly one of my most treasured possessions.
And I mean when making it it would have to be PERFECT. And absolutely fit my view and vision of Souseiseki in an irl form.

I'd make the world a giant harem. Fuck yes!

Seriously, I would probably give a hell of a lot of it away. Simply put, I would buy shitloads of stuff for myself and give the other $30 billion or so to charity or something. Basically anything but the US's pointless debt >.<

Why can't you chose the all the 3 top options at once? o.O
If I had so much money I'd share with my loved ones, of couse improve my own life by spending a lot on myself and then I'd donate a heavy sum (or sums) to charity.
... Even if I took time to write alot of intelligent words of deep thought and meaning in my signature, would you really care to read and comment on it? ...

I find it funny how many people say they would give to charity or help people in need. I don't think if you actually got the money you would. Sorry but I just don't think people would be that generous. If you found a bag of money would you turn it in to the police or keep it for yourself? Everyone is greedy. :D

I'd travel... forever. Always hated the idea of owning a house and being rooted down somewhere. But with this kind of money, I'd own a house in every place I liked to travel to. Win, win situation!

I guess I'd also buy up several corporations or something just to make sure my kids and theirs and so on don't go broke any time soon. Basically, I'd be the same as every other person who suddenly becomes nouveau riche.

Actually you are wrong. If you give someone a big amount of money like 1 or 2 millions he would probably think twice before giving some amount to charity but if you give him an incredible huge amount like 32 billion he will easily give huge amounts to charity.

You have any idea how much 32 BILLION dollar is? really if it was lets say 2 million dollar then no probably not 2 mill goes away pretty fast after a nice house and a nice car and the rest of the money is to live from.

But it's nearly impossible to spend 32billion in a lifetime unless you gamble it all away or buy a big boat...

It's not all that hard to go through 32 billion when setting yourself up in the real world. People fail to think farther than the next 40 years of their life. Read my post:

To expand upon this, I'd also get myself completely through Med School without worrying about a dime and then go on to buy up or create a Hospital chain. Won't have to worry about an opening in a residency program if I own the whole damn thing, now will I?

Or live in a country with large tax. For example, Holland's 54% tax leaves you with less than half of it. Then you pay tax in percentage over it every year. Nah, it goes pretty quick that way.

Well then what would you buy? I think a lot of people would end up giving at least some to charity, maybe not a huge chunk of it. It could even be 10 million, that's nothing compared to the 32 billion you just randomly received.

Knowing what 90% of all good causes do with the money, I would rather keep it myself, or invest it into medical science.
