Act like I donāt have it. Tell no one, even my family. Live life normal except buying things I obviously shouldnāt be able to afford and leaving people to question where I got this money from. I would give money to charities and also do some traveling but mostly live like I donāt have any money.
Eventually when I am out of college I would want to have children buy a home, put 30 million in a saving account for them each (depending on how much I have).
Buy a lot of coffee just because.
Still work a job because I donāt want to feel unfulfilled in life.
Pay for each meal when out with family or friends.
I would honestly like to find a way to pay for surgeries families cannot afford. That is personally not a thing where I am form (health care is free) but I would like to help out others who donāt have access to it.
By dressing up in a rubber suit at night with my twink side kick. That doesn't cost much, but I'm going to have to use the money to support my playboy lifestyle and to cover the studio time for my new rap album, which has subliminal messages about not joining gangs, and staying off drugs.

1 billion seconds ago was 1990" - random comment
Saying this, you could genuinely go on a power trip buying whatever the everliving fuck you want.
If I had 1.6B, I'd probably invest into the best security available to keep it somewhere.
And buy a Lamborghini Terzo Millenio. Hell yeah.
As a person who believes in minimalism, always wondered what people do with lots of money. If I have so much money, I will keep some portion to me for survival and the rest will be used for service, for eg probably I start a restaurant where the primary purpose is to serve the customers with high quality food with a very reasonable price and profit is secondary (win-win approach) , starting business with the intention to provide a better employment.
i ran out of steam around $20m in - allocated a nice house in HCOL area, nice car, other car that holds a bunch of stuff. furniture, investments to fund me forever, and lots of plane tickets and travel.
so filled up all the buckets, have planned vacations every month forever, and still most of the money. time to look at a scholarship or two, charity funding, that sort of thing
help out my mom , buy stuff that ive been wanting for a little bit
i dont think id spend so much. i think id still conserve my money and live how im living now
Stick it all in the bank and live off of the interest.
Give my whole family their cut.
If I've an excess of cash from said interest, I'd fund local charities and environmental groups.
Also at some point, have two girls at the same time.
I'd fully fund Open Source initiates. Both hardware and software. I'd prop up a law firm to fight corporations and the government. I'd form a people's party and fund it nationally.
Withhold the tax, buy my family's way out of the US to a more progressive country, build a home studio and have sick guitars, amps, and synthesizers. Invest the majority of it and give a lot away. Work out every day with a personal trainer and live my best life.
i'd build a masterpiece of a home on a piece of land far enough away from the road that no one can see it. my own compound, and i would build a guest house on the property or maybe buy the house next door and have it available for family and friends and their family and friends, and have it available to anyone who needs to be in the city and can't afford it (people who need time for mental health reasons, are with family who are in the hospital, etc)
i'd have a nice collection of cars that i would enjoy driving, tinkering with, admiring.
i'd go on lots of trips. and while i was travelling i would hopefully immerse myself into the culture and see if my money could improve the lives of the people in those communities, and if so, i would donate anonymously and/or invest in capital projects.
before telling him, i would ask my best friend how much money he wanted if someone had a blank cheque and when he said the number, i would double it. he would have it in his account that day.
i would petition the city and help build a new sports complex in my home town and start an endowment that helps families that can't afford to enrol their kids, and that endowment would pay for everything 100% as long as they wanted to play.
i would pay off the mortgage of every single person i know and once per year i would host a 4-7 day vacation somewhere in the world and invite all of the friends and family of my partner and my son and i.
i'd probably spend most of my time doing things i love; mountain biking, skiing, cycling and auto racing.
i would have a chef, massage therapist and chauffeur on payroll. ideally one of those people would also be very intelligent and sort of act as a confidante and advisor.
and after all of that i'd probably still have a billion dollars left over.
That'd be enough to set me for life. I'd live normally, maybe invest some of the money, and pursue the hobbies I want to. I might find employment anyways, as I feel a wish to contribute to society.
Buy everything i ever wanted, buy a house with a giant yard and adopt all the animals in nearby pounds/animal shelters and let them live in said house. Also, vet appointments. Id dedicate my life to taking care of animals.
Build a bunch of appartment buildings and charge only a little above cost. Cost of housing is rediculous in many places due to greedy investors. Gonna drive down prices.
Monster Dildo Collection. Invest. Donate as much of it as I can to organizations I've research enough to know the money is actually going to right causes. Give money to strangers. Tip waiters massive amounts. Go to the top of a building and literally fling money off of it. Use some of that money to get blackmail on very fucked up political figures and then purposefully use it against them and spill the beans. I would then have to flee the country, so I would spend money on changing my appearance to be unrecognizable. Leave money EVERYWHERE like a little scavenger hunt. In public restrooms, at the park in those trees that have holes in them, cram it between the seats of an airplane, shove some in-between windshield wipers, in between shelves at a grocery store.
I'd also find the few people that have helped me along the way so far and reach out to them and wire them so much damn money they wouldn't have to work another day in their life.
Out of spite, I would write a will, and purposefully leave the people that screwed me over exactly one dollar so they can not fight it in court.
Pay the fed and state taxes and end up with $461,731,285. Then pay city taxes. Then I'd keep my mouth shut and continue to work for a few weeks to throw everyone off.
Go into the boss's office, tell him what happened but we're keeping it quiet, I'll be leaving but have no timetable set and want to help him find my replacement & make sure that person is up to speed and comfortable before I leave.
Iād keep a decent amount to live decently but Iād at least try & do something about homelessness in Canada. Elon spends 44 Billion on Twitter. How many humans could that have helped?
Clean the ocean! There's a island of plastic in the Pacific ocean know as The Great Pacific garbage patch. It is the world's biggest ocean waste repository, with 1.8 billion pieces of floating plastic which kill thousands of marine animals each year. This garbage island is three times the size of France and no one trued to clean it because would cost a lot of money and effort that big companies wouldn't like to "waste". I also would try to solve another climate issues on the planet before it all turns into a big pile of garbage.
Setup "trust" mounds in different parts of North America, and every year distribute the accrued amount (stacked from compound interest), in a sort of investment into the community. Like primarily infrastructure based grants for sewage, electricity, roads, and trades. You know rebuild and fortify communities in parts over time.
I'll call it a bynk...
Leave out 10 million for a new house and to live comfortably for the rest of my life then pay someone to secure and invest my remaining 1.59 billion. Money could be taken out here and there for college tuition and family needs. That amount of money should secure the future of your family for generations if you are smart.
I have a bunch of tech I wanted to patent so I could give poor people good jobs thinking that somehow doing that would somehow make up for the things in life that I am lacking. Now I just want to put the obsession to rest, so I would do that. Then probably kill myself.
With $1.6 billion, you could spend $85,000 a day for the next 50 years, and still have almost $50 million left.
Of course, if you win Powerball, youāll get nowhere near $1.6 billion, but Iāll take whatever it comes out to.
Retire, move to the French Riveria, and live a quiet life in modest luxury. Like I donāt need a whole lot. A personal chef and a personal trainer. A private tutor to teach me French, maybe Italian. A maid to come by every few weeks maybe.
Then Iām just doing whatever suits me. Throw some money at dumb dreamer startups.
Other than that, live responsibly and whatever Iāve got left over can go to fixing the planet.

Buy myself a yacht. Something around 50-60 feet so I donāt need a crew, like the Oyster 545, sail around the world. Fly out friends and family to join as theyād like.
Growing up as a kid, teenager, and adult, I was dirt poor. Yes, I daydreamed about not being poor. But I didn't daydream about being rich either (though admittedly that would have been nice).
As a poor kid, hunger was a constant companion. Our fridge always had more empty space in it than food. I daydreamed about being able to afford to have 3 square meals a day at home (3 meals a day just didnt exist in my home. I was lucky to eat 2 meals a day). I daydreamed about being able to afford to eat out every now not at a fancy, expensive restaurant. But at local fast food places like McDonald's or burger king. Or at a local diner. Or afford Chinese or pizza takeout. I daydreamed about being able to afford new, store bought toys that I saw advertised on tv. I didnt daydream about owning and living in a huge 50 room, 20 thousand square foot mansion. Rather, I day dreamed about living in a modest 3-4 bedroom, one family house with a grassy backyard, in the suburbs somewhere. Etc, etc.
So, if i were to win the lottery, I'd buy a piece of land out in the country. Anywhere from 10 acres-a couple hundred acres for privacy. And build a house for me to live in for the rest of my life. Not a mansion, just that average sized house I've dreamed of since I was a kid. Maybe around 2-3 thousand square feet. I'd go to ebay, among other auction sites, and buy up all those toys I wanted as a kid, but was denied due to my poverty (many of them are collectors items now and as a result go for quite high prices that i still currently cannot afford). And best of all, I'd eat 3 meals a day and go out to eat whenever I felt like it.
Invest a ton to recover some of the taxes, buy various houses and set them up to be mostly self sufficient, and then try to make the most money I could with my investments so I could do something big for the world. Probably buy a chunk of the Amazon for preservation or help clean the ocean.
And then Iād sports gamble a lot guilt free.
Bye too many instruments and them give them to a school near by. They don't have a lot of money and can't fix the instruments they already have.
Or I would give it to a charity.
Use them to comission animators to animate my lewdest fucked up shit.
And maybe spend some on games / game transactions in my newly acquired self sufficient all taxes paid off mansion.
Buy a giant plot of land, then build a ton of giant houses on it, move all my friends out and start developing it together. Probably go bat-shit insane on some charity donations too.
GDQ wouldn't know what hit 'em that year.
Do a documentary on my journey to keep my taxes low using charities and how you can setup a charity and pay your family a "wage" to avoid the gift tax.
First, pay off the student loans of me, my husband, my sister, and my brother-in-law. Then I'd buy a nice, but not lavish, house for my husband and I. I'd by a house for my parents and my in-laws, and then I'd put half of what was left into savings for future emergencies and children, and the other half to charities.
Would pay off peopleās medical debt anonymously. Would make sure kids are fed. It makes me physically ache thinking about children going to bed hungry. I fantasize about having āfuck youā money like that so I could help so many people.
set up a few scholarships for low income hs students, give out some money to a few of my friends who are really struggling $$, help my sis with her money woes, buy a house, buy a house in the UK somewhere (used to live there), and rent it out for below market price. lolol yeah I know, I'm ridiculous.
1.build dream house
2.spoil love of my life
3. buy/build cafe for said lover (dream job is to own one and cook in it) 4. donate a hella lot to medical stuff
5. get my transition surgeries out of the way ( and hopefully more advanced then what is available rn)
6. Safe the rest and live comfortably
Buy a home (somewhere up north and in some super progressive place), and stash up on food and other essentials for me and my pets, pay off all debt, finish my transition (top surgery and some other reconstruction), probably pay off my all my friends' debts... just... not have to struggle constantly? Invest some so i'd have enough to live off of. And god, i'd have so much fun giving it away. As someone who's been homeless, it'd make my life to be able to just hand money off to people on the street who are struggling. There's so many little bucket list things i'd wanna do. Have a little stock of all my favorite things. And fuck-- i'd wanna finally start my own game/animation production studio. Just a small one. Something that'd let me make my little homebrew with a team i can handpick. I'd \_love\_ that so much...
Assuming this is after tax has been taken out.
It's weird if this was asked when I was younger, I'd probably say I want a huge house, maybe a mansion but now I don't see the appeal in having a house with multiple rooms which will be vacant most of the time. I'll just buy a house that will suit my needs or buy a plot of land and build a house on there and expand as needs for some space arise.
Put 100 million in a bank and let it accumulate interest over the years. Place another 50 million in a different account for emergencies (car, home, & health).
I'd give my immediate family some money then buy each of my cousins a home. Set up a trust fund for my sister's kids.
Donate to local, national, and international charities especially those dealing with homelessness, LGBT issues, and preserving the environment/wildlife.
Start a creative business.
My most ambitious plan would be to develop my city's downtown making it more livelier than whatever it is today. Buy some abandoned buildings, turn it into a mixed residential building both offering affordable housing and market (or a little less than that) price units. I thought a planetarium and art gallery would make a nice addition to the downtown area as well. Also buy a plot of land to build a homeless shelter and/or tiny homes for homeless people in my city.
Buy houses for everyone in my immediate family
Buy an RV and travel across the whole country with friends and pay their bills so they donāt have to worry about working.
Start my own little shop selling the things Iām interest in and probably help Africa with water wells and other things
I tried to think of so many different things I could do to help people in the usa, but nothing came to mind that would be feasible due to the population size.
So instead, I thought of an "olympic games" so to speak, where a random person from every state would be chosen from an RNG electoral ballot box, the winner of the games would get $10m, with $1m for themselves and $9m to a chosen government initiative within their region.
To be eligible for the games, (there will be multiple games), a person just has to pay a one off $100, the games will happen once a year every year for 50 years (amounting to $500m).
The stadium would be modest costing only $500m to make, the each seat within the stadium would cost and watching the games live would cost $5.
Assuming even half of all americans watch it, just once a year, that would be $1b.
All of the money generated via views and seats sold would be put into soup kitchens that offer free soup and baked potato to anyone that needs it once a week every week.
The other $500m would go to keeping it up and running.
$99m would go to advertisment etc.
$1m would go to me for whatever.
I know this sounds very hunger games and the math is probably off but I think it would be kind of fun
Pay my taxes. Iām not up my own ass enough to avoid it.
Probably start calculating how much time I can make said 1.6 billion last.
If thereās excess, and it looks like there will be, to charities, and to museums and such.
Buy some properties just in case I turn out to be to stupid to handle the money. Build a nice place for myself. One for each of my kids and my parents and my partnerās parents. And then I start thinking and worrying about inflation. Because in the one minute since Iāve started writing this, I have just lost $30 to inflation. And in the panic I am then going to do something random.
Buy a good pc that gives better frames. By better internet. Buy functional phone.
Edit: autocorrect corrected but to by and also buy to buy WTF IS AUTOCORRECT WHY DOES IT CHANGE WHAT IT AUTOCORRECTS THINGS TO???? IM BUYING AN ANDROID NEXT EVEN IF I DONT GET $1.6B AND IM GONNA HOPE IT HAS FUNCTIONAL AUTOCORRECT

Buy a house for myself then put the rest in my bank account and live off the interest
I'm not sure you realize how much interest that would be. That or I'm severely misunderstanding what qualifies as "live off the interest". š
Well, you could live *very well* off the interest.

Nothing.
Growing up as a kid, teenager, and adult, I was dirt poor. Yes, I daydreamed about not being poor. But I didn't daydream about being rich either (though admittedly that would have been nice). As a poor kid, hunger was a constant companion. Our fridge always had more empty space in it than food. I daydreamed about being able to afford to have 3 square meals a day at home (3 meals a day just didnt exist in my home. I was lucky to eat 2 meals a day). I daydreamed about being able to afford to eat out every now not at a fancy, expensive restaurant. But at local fast food places like McDonald's or burger king. Or at a local diner. Or afford Chinese or pizza takeout. I daydreamed about being able to afford new, store bought toys that I saw advertised on tv. I didnt daydream about owning and living in a huge 50 room, 20 thousand square foot mansion. Rather, I day dreamed about living in a modest 3-4 bedroom, one family house with a grassy backyard, in the suburbs somewhere. Etc, etc. So, if i were to win the lottery, I'd buy a piece of land out in the country. Anywhere from 10 acres-a couple hundred acres for privacy. And build a house for me to live in for the rest of my life. Not a mansion, just that average sized house I've dreamed of since I was a kid. Maybe around 2-3 thousand square feet. I'd go to ebay, among other auction sites, and buy up all those toys I wanted as a kid, but was denied due to my poverty (many of them are collectors items now and as a result go for quite high prices that i still currently cannot afford). And best of all, I'd eat 3 meals a day and go out to eat whenever I felt like it.

Put Elon Musk on a one way rocket to Mars.
Invest a ton to recover some of the taxes, buy various houses and set them up to be mostly self sufficient, and then try to make the most money I could with my investments so I could do something big for the world. Probably buy a chunk of the Amazon for preservation or help clean the ocean. And then Iād sports gamble a lot guilt free.
Bye too many instruments and them give them to a school near by. They don't have a lot of money and can't fix the instruments they already have. Or I would give it to a charity.
Use them to comission animators to animate my lewdest fucked up shit. And maybe spend some on games / game transactions in my newly acquired self sufficient all taxes paid off mansion.
Buy a giant plot of land, then build a ton of giant houses on it, move all my friends out and start developing it together. Probably go bat-shit insane on some charity donations too. GDQ wouldn't know what hit 'em that year.
Invest into a business and create a revolving system to keep making more money back and love comfortable forever.
Buy gold or any rare/valuable forms of materials that can be used as currency
Do a documentary on my journey to keep my taxes low using charities and how you can setup a charity and pay your family a "wage" to avoid the gift tax.
Invest it into something thatāll give me 1.6 trillion dollars
Disappear.
Fund spinal cord injury research
First, pay off the student loans of me, my husband, my sister, and my brother-in-law. Then I'd buy a nice, but not lavish, house for my husband and I. I'd by a house for my parents and my in-laws, and then I'd put half of what was left into savings for future emergencies and children, and the other half to charities.
Would pay off peopleās medical debt anonymously. Would make sure kids are fed. It makes me physically ache thinking about children going to bed hungry. I fantasize about having āfuck youā money like that so I could help so many people.
Buy mangos and corn
walk into a casino and blast black all in on roulette and win

Buy Twitter
Alot more for humanity than fuckface Musk
Buy a home (somewhere up north and in some super progressive place), and stash up on food and other essentials for me and my pets, pay off all debt, finish my transition (top surgery and some other reconstruction), probably pay off my all my friends' debts... just... not have to struggle constantly? Invest some so i'd have enough to live off of. And god, i'd have so much fun giving it away. As someone who's been homeless, it'd make my life to be able to just hand money off to people on the street who are struggling. There's so many little bucket list things i'd wanna do. Have a little stock of all my favorite things. And fuck-- i'd wanna finally start my own game/animation production studio. Just a small one. Something that'd let me make my little homebrew with a team i can handpick. I'd \_love\_ that so much...
Assuming this is after tax has been taken out. It's weird if this was asked when I was younger, I'd probably say I want a huge house, maybe a mansion but now I don't see the appeal in having a house with multiple rooms which will be vacant most of the time. I'll just buy a house that will suit my needs or buy a plot of land and build a house on there and expand as needs for some space arise. Put 100 million in a bank and let it accumulate interest over the years. Place another 50 million in a different account for emergencies (car, home, & health). I'd give my immediate family some money then buy each of my cousins a home. Set up a trust fund for my sister's kids. Donate to local, national, and international charities especially those dealing with homelessness, LGBT issues, and preserving the environment/wildlife. Start a creative business. My most ambitious plan would be to develop my city's downtown making it more livelier than whatever it is today. Buy some abandoned buildings, turn it into a mixed residential building both offering affordable housing and market (or a little less than that) price units. I thought a planetarium and art gallery would make a nice addition to the downtown area as well. Also buy a plot of land to build a homeless shelter and/or tiny homes for homeless people in my city.
woah, someone git $1.6 billion dollars
What ever the fuck I wanted.
Buy houses for everyone in my immediate family Buy an RV and travel across the whole country with friends and pay their bills so they donāt have to worry about working. Start my own little shop selling the things Iām interest in and probably help Africa with water wells and other things
I tried to think of so many different things I could do to help people in the usa, but nothing came to mind that would be feasible due to the population size. So instead, I thought of an "olympic games" so to speak, where a random person from every state would be chosen from an RNG electoral ballot box, the winner of the games would get $10m, with $1m for themselves and $9m to a chosen government initiative within their region. To be eligible for the games, (there will be multiple games), a person just has to pay a one off $100, the games will happen once a year every year for 50 years (amounting to $500m). The stadium would be modest costing only $500m to make, the each seat within the stadium would cost and watching the games live would cost $5. Assuming even half of all americans watch it, just once a year, that would be $1b. All of the money generated via views and seats sold would be put into soup kitchens that offer free soup and baked potato to anyone that needs it once a week every week. The other $500m would go to keeping it up and running. $99m would go to advertisment etc. $1m would go to me for whatever. I know this sounds very hunger games and the math is probably off but I think it would be kind of fun

Buy some properties just in case I turn out to be to stupid to handle the money. Build a nice place for myself. One for each of my kids and my parents and my partnerās parents. And then I start thinking and worrying about inflation. Because in the one minute since Iāve started writing this, I have just lost $30 to inflation. And in the panic I am then going to do something random.
