    1. Put it in the bank
    2. Use the interest to invest here & there
    3. Use some of the profit for living expenses
    4. Put the rest in the bank
    5. Repeat 2 to 4

    Late comers here!
    Honestly, it's dangerous having that much money.
    Strangers claiming to be your relatives would suddenly come with dire attacks.
    "Halp, Halp! I suddenly have an xx disease and my xx died. If you don't deposit me an xxxxxxx amount of money, I'm gonna die!"

    Place the majority of it in banks. The rest of it... buy a house? Probably start a business as a hobby?

    A nuclear shelter, food to last a lifetime and a library or two.

    Then wait for this generation of idiots to blow themselves up

    1. Clean up all my tabs, debts and loans,
    2. Get a nice loft not too big but well equiped (all high green tech) and situated, with maybe one or few other flats in the same building for investment and/or help family,
    3. Split some money between family members and friends that need it,
    4. Invest 60% of the rest by starting a web based business (some kind of creative platform to help kickstart amature artists, authors and indie game makers with hosting, crow funding and localisation help) and putting some funds in interresting green tech start-ups and companies,
    5. Keep what left aside in case of emergencies.

    Pay off all debts I have. Give the half of what I got left to charity.
    The most important thing is to then invest in longevity research so I don't drop off before they manage to create real anime type chicks.

    Because let's face it, if some people say that men aren't necessary then let us go for equality and make the women useless as well.

    Hmn... Hide it in the bank and tell my family that i have 1mil money, share that 1m, invest in VR and research dog-eared girls, host an animation company in PH, donate money to an orphanage and plan a world domination with half the billion, save the rest in retirement and family planing.

    Back surgery to fuse my lower spine. After that invest 250m in fdvr. Set my kids up with scholarships for College. Make it so both parents won't need to works anymore. Help out my younger sister and her husband... I guess help out my older sister and younger brother... But not nearly as much. Keep a few mil for a small place for me close enough to the backbone that runs through my state and have fiber optic lines laid for interwebs.... Invest the rest.... Honestly 1b is a lot of money, you can do a lot without using much of it. Heck even with what I listed above I doubt would go over 300 to 350m....

    Well, that would be a scary amount of money. First, pay parents' debts. 2nd, Pay for the siblings' tuition fee, then I will buy what I really likes. The leftover wil be for charity and good people.

    • condominium (for me)
    • food business franchise
    • desktop set-up for gaming
    • .02% of remaining for local charities
    • a sedan (probably Mazda, Toyota or Mazda)
    • bank savings
    Things I use daily are a given, that's why I didn't list stuff like internet connection

    Would really like to have that 1 Billion USD :aww:
    • Pay my debts and those annoying future taxes.
    • Renovate the house.
    • Give my Mom and 2nd eldest brother a deserving vacation.
    • Build a monster PC.
    • Try investing in those stocks.
    • And last most of it will go into the bank.
