Jet Boat Racing Kiwi Style - Drifting on Water - YouTube
Fund my own Racing team start with the Rivers then work out to the offshore 180MPH boats and get a trophy truck to Race also since got to keep bust and have a hobby that you like and well have enough to figure out what you enjoy to do to keep busty since traveling is fine but going around the world having fun and trying to get better and maybe win a few races or get some good times in.
1.) Pay off my house and student loan debt ~ $100,000
2.) Put $500,000,000 in my credit union account in order to live and travel the rest of of my days-
Budget of ~$10,000,000 per year for 50+ years should be way more than enough.
3.) Take $10,000,000 to invest in undervalued Philadelphia real estate. Renovate rowhomes with a budget of $50,000 per home or 200 rowhomes for monthly income of ~$200,000 per Month. Mostly all work contracted out but rents will be kept lower than the renovations should dictate.
Donate $489,900,000 to loved ones and charity organizations and causes. Maybe set up some charitable trusts and things of that nature.
Honestly, if you were given 1 billion dollars, what would you do with it?

I'd give most of it away, but keep a few million. I'd create a whole bunch more "idle rich" among family and friends.

I'd keep two million, give ten thousand dollars to every close relative, and give the rest to a mixture of organizations. Some might assist foreign nations. Some might assist people in the nation I live in.
Did you know that the astronauts on Apollo 13 would have perished after the onboard explosion if Canadian scientists didn't get them back down to earth? Does "Houston, we have a problem" sound familiar?
If he thinks the American space program is about Star Trek and Star Wars I can assure you he's got zero knowledge of what Canadians did to help get those men home.
I would build a(n) internet service to compete with att and comcast, and possibly build a video sharing site to compete with youtube, since google wrecked youtube.
I would also start a motorist rights group for wisconsin, to fight against the bicycle groups bad laws they want to pass.
50% goes to charities that help the less fortunate and animals (legit charities, not ones where 90% of my donation is going to go into the CEO's pocket)
There is a company that I would like to purchase (last I heard the asking price was 300 million)
That leaves 200,000,000. I'd give 100 million out to close friends and family and keep 100 million for my wife and I and our future children and our future grand children.
I'd keep $100,000,000 for pocket change expenses, invest the rest in the Cayman Islands under a bunch of Trusts so my heirs could get anything that's left with minimal tax hit.
Then I'd live like a king off the interest earned on that Cayman principal.
Any other use would have to be carefully considered and probably rejected.
[but, then again, NONE of the above would take place until I had hired a law firm to review contracts, then hired a few high-dollar financial firms to figure the best way to invest in the Cayman Islands...with THEIR contracts reviewed by said first law firm...]

On that note, I'd move to Bavaria
