    I was just wondering. If you won the lottery and it was a billion US dollars tax free. What would you buy first?

    I would put it all into the bank and live off the dividends.

    I'd pay off my student loans before considering buying anything.

    Ha, dividends. Indeed, you'll need a billion these days to live of of those. Or just spend the billion, you probably won't finish it if you keep up the current life-style with the occasional luxury.

    First thing I'd do: Buy a house with a glass-fiber internet connection with more than a 1049kb peak download rate, as well as a beast of a computer.

    Internet ?

    I`m currently paying 20 Euros / month for a gigabit connection ...

    Ofc it`s not a true gigabit connection because it`s a 10G FTTH PON connection, but it should suffice

    Buy houses and apartments in strategic places such as near subway or university. Rent it to people. Get money every month without doing a thing. Maybe invest some of it in an IT company.

    You cant live just from dividends from bank. With this amount % bank gives you is so small it is pretty much null.

    Clear my debts? As spoken by @vsukio

    Honestly I never think of such questions, because I kinda expect myself to be poor af for the rest of my short life.

    Private island in a moderate temp location that doesn't get hit by hurricanes. Build it up into my own little empire and put some banks on it for those who want to put their money somewhere out of sight of most governments. Then sit back and enjoy my life and my profit.

    Stocks. A House. Advance Payment in advance all the bills especially the internet bill. Some laptops, desktops, tablets and phones. And put the rest to the bank and let them grow through interest. Then live a life of a hikineet.
