Well, with that much money I'm sure I could hire all the lawyers I'd need to get things set up!

Nice to dream- isn't it?

that's one BILLION! I'd buy houses for people who needed them and would take care of them. I'd buy a small restaurant and put people to work, and start a free meal kitchen to those in need. AND hire security staff to deal with the problems of hosting public events. :)

Invest in as many startups as possible. This can be done in a weekend right? I have a BILLION dollars, so I can hire a few lawyers to get working on the paperwork. I will also hire top people to recommend companies in a short-term notice (I'll pay them very well so they can work on a weekend for this).

This should keep me busy for the rest of my life in doing stuff I like. I would also help many entrepreneurs fulfill their dreams. Win-Win for everybody!

I would

Buy my own Island outside of any country.

Establish that as my country.

Run it however I'd like, stocking it with houses, and building my own community, I'd run my own business and be the dominator of all things that live there...

Specifically the Squirrel population.

Other than that. I would restore my Jeep, My Grandpa's RV, set my family for the rest of their lives by letting them live in my own homes I've bought.

I'd buy a decommissioned military base. I'd use the hangars and stuff to build my dream garage.

Purchase all of my Dream cars. AE86, Ferrari Enzo, Jeep CJ with a 4.0 built up for rock crawling, Jeep ZJ with a 440 six pack, etc. etc...

It'd take me days to type it all out...

but hours to just spend it all away..

with the multi-million dollar things I'd buy, I would spend it all within a few hours.

Only problem is, I won't have the extra money after 2 days. so I'd have to sell it all right afterwords cause I can't afford to insure anything!!!!!

Awwww nuts!! life's a doozie isn't it?
