Put a good ammout on a bank account which was just spend-as-i-like
Put the vast majority into the highest pay-off safe investment i could find (or more likely, hire some very skiledl investor to find) and live off the interrest (which would be huge, given that 1 billion is a huge ammount of money)
Give however big shares to whoever i thought deserved it, be it fammily, friends or charity.

But yeah, mainly the huge secure investment, taht'd allow me, and in turn whoever inherrited the furtine after me to live off the interrest, never needing to withdraw money from the invested portion.

I would put quite a bit of it in a savings account.
Invest some of it(or save some for the future to invest).
Give some to my family so they can pay off everything.

Don't know what else I would do, maybe treat my friends to a big day out or take them all on holiday abroad somewhere:)

I would first give the amount of money of what my mom owes in her loans.

Then I count how much my whole tuition would cost and whats left over I invest in something and spend the rest myself.

Too bad giant robots would cost a whole lot more.
Donate it to Crytek UK, for hiring back the lost employees, becoming Free Radical again, and GET THE HELL ON WITH IT!

Let it gather interest in a bank account (with high interest rates) and live off said interest, rarely dipping into the fund

I'd get myself enrolled into the Art Institutes, help my parents with a few things, put a bit aside for myself for use until I get a job this summer, and then put the rest away into a savings account.

Well I'd definitely save some of it for emergency. Maybe spend to grab some games or something little. The rest I'd keep for stuff like getting someplace to live, stuff like food, and college. With proper rationing, a million dollars can go quite the distance. I definitely wouldn't splurge it all on buying luxury items as that would quickly leave me with what little money I had before receiving all that cash. I'd rather live a comfortable life while working a little bit for extra cash then spend it all on some luxury items that will only last for so long.

step on put away enough money to cover my expenses of my 3 year college program, step two new gas effective car... not a hybrid cause those are bullshit, step three put my money in a high intrest bank account and let it grow until I needed it to create my own game company/ watch said company be boughtout/ destroyed but it would be an experience and it could potentially help a good number of people as well as myself.

before any nay sayers go off... my faimly is already well off my dad is retired military officer and they are looked after with healthcare and a decent check,, my mother works to suppliment the check, we own out house and have two cars neither of which will be dying anytime soon... (( accidents excluded)) so thats what I would do.

I would probably put 90% of it into low-risk investment.
Then I'd buy myself an okay car, pay off student loans, help my parents with bills.
That's probably it, actually.
Also, I'd limit myself to a hundred dollars or so a month in random things that I'd buy.

Also, emergency fund. That's the last thing, I'd say.

Maybe invest in things that look interesting. Science and such.

I don't think its possible to spend $1,000,000 in a week without spending $10,000 per item and spending on items you use everyday or every week

First, I'd buy a million dollars in four-year bonds. Then, I'd use what was left to live for the next four years. Repeat every four years.

You received $1,000,000 from an anonymous source as a gift no questions or favors asked, would you spend it, would you give it away, put it away, burn it, what ever you wanted to do with that money.

Explain what you would do with all of that money. And be realistic

I myself would put it all in a 5 different bank accounts all for different reasons

1. Spending- on "wants" not needs like a nice car
2. Emergency-(just in case my things were stolen or destroyed)
3. Family- if my closest relatives needed support
4. Bills- self explained
5. Future- in case I raise a family

And I was asked this question by my wealthy Grandfather through the phone out of random
but i couldn't answer that question right away but it took 2 days and now I'm giving the question to you.
Put it in the bank
Live off the interest (which is like $700 a week)
Well interest and job so I live very comfortably
then when I don't need it anymore I spend it on something stupid

Prepare for several apocalypses.
Throw several party's.
Buy clothes, food and stuff.
Buy parents a nicer house.
Put some aside.
Buy stuff I want or need or spend it on random stuff!

Now that's out the way...
I'd probably give half of it to my parents straight away, they deserve it for all the things they've done for me over the years.
Then I'd probably put a quarter of it into savings so I can frolic around with the interest later on.
Then spend the last quarter on whatever the heck I want. Probably games, novelty shirts, a camel, stuff like that.

Or get it converted into coins, put it all in a really big safe and swim around in it, Scrooge McDuck style. Actually, that sounds like way more fun.
