$4 Billion, what do you do with it?

[Metric Monkey]

Buy the Thousand Dollar Steampunk Memory Stick [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96405-The-Thousand-Dollar-Steampunk-Memory-Stick].
Then, after that. I have no idea what I'd buy.

 

[HardRockSamurai]

$3 Billion = Buy the Call of Duty franchise from Activision

$0.5 Billion = Booze
$0.5 Billion = Hookers

 

[StonkThis]

"Buy a ball pit"

"What are you gonna do with the other 3.999 billion?"

"I don't fucking care, I got a ball pit!"

 

[stone0042]

Goodness knows.

I guess I'd go travelling for a year. Buy some dick-wetting motorbikes for me and a friend and go on an adventure, then I guess I'd buy a few houses, a flat in the city centre, a house in the 'burbs and one in Monte Carlo or some fancy place like that.

Then I'd kick back for a while and repeat the paragraph above every now and then.

Off topic, but I wanted to say that I love your avatar. The Office is the single funniest show I've ever seen

 

[Gmano]

I would try to make an AI for a house, then build a house with aformentioned AI ~.5-1 bill

Alternative, renewable energies ~couple bill

donate to or set up a charity. a bunch

Save about .5 bill, use interest to pay off my taxes.

 

[asdasdasdasda]

Buy a car company, bankrupt it, then make billions more off bailouts. True story.

 

[darraghmck]

ha u ever watched spaced? Nick Frost's character gets kicked out of the army for stealing a tank and trying to invade paris :L

 

[Joshimodo]

I'd wish I had £4 billion.

I'd buy everything I ever wanted (Bugatti Veyron, 1969 Cheverolet Camaro in black, custom, ultra-modern house in Sweden or Atland Islands filled with custom or IKEA stuff, the most advanced PC possible, with custom-made parts direct from the manufacturer, a boat) and kit my family out with whatever they wanted.

I'd put $1 billion in the bank for safety, and live off the interest. Whittle away at the rest.

 

[tmujir955]

I would give it to a banker becuase they all work so hard and deserve it.

I...*gasp*... think I'm choking...*gasp*... from laughter...

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Build a computer that can run Crysis 2... on Ultra... at 60 frames per second! And then buy a taco. And then I'd be too poor to actually buy Crysis 2.

I kid, I kid. I would do one of the following:

- Give each member of my immediate family, and each of my friends, $100,000 dollars. (I'd pay the gift tax, too.) Then I would found my very own game company and, freed from the financial constraints of most companies, I would set out to make nothing but the absolute best games ever. And I'd hire Yahtzee to be an in-house consultant.

OR

- I would build my very own steampunk airship, with which I could rule the skies and prey upon entire nations.

2 chicks at once

That'll be £50 on alcohol wasted, what next?

 

[-Orgasmatron-]

Buy Bristol Rovers FC.

You rock like feldspar. Huge cookie.
OT: Forget buying a private island, I'd build a floating one the size of Crete, which I'd keep in international waters, safe from the rule of all but international maritime law. Then I'd make it a haven for scientists who want to research things no country will let them do, and fund it all by peddling vice. After that was up and running, I'd build self-supporting fortress-compounds all over the world, at least 10 of 'em. Then I'd build a private army to counter right-wing nutjob groups like Blackwater. Then I'd start buying up huge tracts of land in threatened ecosystems like rainforests and fragile riparian and alpine zones, and around the edges of the Sahara, and use my private soldiers to keep them from being further damaged. I'm sure there's more, but my 4 bils ran out a while ago, so I'll leave you with two final words: Aerospace Research.
EDIT: I forgot taking down Monsanto. By the time all my various enterprises are up and running, I'm pretty sure I could accomplish that. And EA, the bastards.

 

[MercylessMing]

I would buy a copy of every game, play through them, then smash any that ever had a water level. Then with the remaining money and time left in my life I would drink myself to death.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

3 of the 4 Billion would go to NASA to ensure my place in the Martian Colony [though I would likely either be dead or a doddering old man by the time that gets off the ground]

The other billion would be spent on a life of low/moderate. Probably a condo in a semi-developed town on the outskirts of a city somewhere [kinda like where I live now I guess] Would probably work to keep boredom at bay. Probably go to school but for what? I dunno ...

 

[ThaBenMan]

I would buy the Moon. Then, I would rename it "The Great Celestial Night Light". I would hire crack teams of mercenaries to patrol everywhere to enforce use of the new name. Anyone who is heard still referring to it as the Moon will be swiftly executed.

It's a quote from Office Space, it's what his neighbor says he would do if he had that kind of money.

 

[whycantibelinus]

I never work a day in my life again, that's what I do.

Oh and buy a house and a sweet entertainment setup.

Oh and then I put like half of it into a high interest savings acount, and live off of the interest, which brings us around to "I never work a day in my life again."

 

[Valiance]

Buy half of new zealand.

 

[Cortheya]

I would build a domed city!!! It would be all sci-fi-ish
Then the neighboring town would be mideval and fantasyish with dragons and stuff....
Then they would fight.
