I would purchase a major market radio station and turn it into a commerical free underground rock/metal radio network. I would single handidly save FM radio for years to come....and because I would be paying all the bills, no one could tell me what to do as long as I comply with FCC regulations.
After 2 years or so I would start playing commercials for ppl that want to advertise on my station after they see how awesome of an idea it was in the first place.

Saving the radio with metal eh? I guess I'd have to keep buying cd's from Amazon.

I'd help you producing that Serenity sequel or firefly season.
I'd have a developer team create a Firefly mmo.
Hire a real life Sam Fisher to teach me some stealthy shit, so I could go kill somebody inside Fox for cancelling that show.
Make sure my family was free of depth(I think they'd rather work than sit on the couch all day)
-Buy a large island in the middle of the ocean with a jungle.
-Buy animals for my jungle.
-Build a nice ranch
-Buy a custom made rifle with a gold plate on it somewhere with cool designs so it'll make me look cool and kinda fancy.
-Buy a set of safari clothes.The hat and all.
-Grow old and grow a mucstache thats curly at the ends.
-Have a pet mountain lion named...Kiana or something.
-Spend my days hunting the animals i released and mounting thier heads all around my private study. The kind of private study with the poinltess bookcases, the fireplace, and that tall red chair. Oh and a pipe.
-Also spend my days riding on my elephant with my rifle by side hunting the most elusive pray of all....
I would spend it on a Xbox 360, PS3, some servents, be a king (lol, isnt that cool, being a king and stuff), I'd buy my own army, and buy a mansion, also buy a wife (I'm ugly so I have to buy one), buy children, and, well, uhhh, ummm, well, taste suff (lol)
First thing I would do is pass out! The next day I would go into work and tell my boss to "take this job and shove it" Then I would proceed to find a lawyer or twelve Lastly I start spending some cash on a various homes in the country for myself and family, invest some, spend a mil or two on stupid things, give to charities, take a few vacations and probably have one helluva party.

Did you actually just say you would buy Microsoft for $1,000,000,000? Considering their Total Asset Value I believe is around $70,815,000,000 you'd only be short $69,815,000,000. I am sure you could drum that up from somewhere
You're about one zero short.
Anyhow...With a billion dollars, I'd make a third Baldurs Gate, a second Planescape Torment, and pull the remaining money into development into a MMORPG akin to David Allens original dream of Horizons.

1.Build everyone in my immediate family as mansion 2.Turn my kitchen into a subaway restaurant staffed 24 hours a day 3.Hire my own personal ball washer "gota have clean nuts when your rich" 4.Buy the bank that made all the loans to keep horizons a float and call in all there loans and finally kill the dam thing off. 5.Hire 1,00,000 african american women to go to the middle east and straighten that shit once and for all.
Very first think is ill put $800 million in an IRA account and let the interest role around for 30 years. really i could survive just fine on $200 million.
the rest of the $200 million is ill buy 50 acres of land and build a house on it, a pond, nice lawn and such. i hire a maid and a land keeper, pay them $50,000 a year each. I also have to buy a second home in New Zealand, so I could fly back and forth from each house so I could have two summers a year.
then ill buy a $5,000 computer then donate it every two years and buy another $5,000 computer. play every game out in the market today. then play every game comes out year after that and so on.
if they let me, ill buy Barbaro and make him his own at my property. ill buy three more horses and few other exotic animals, maybe build an ostrich race track on my land too. maybe ill buy extra land and have that used for elephants, onces circuses dont want no more. of course pay two-three people to take care of the elephants.
o did i forget to mention if i want a billion dollars, i wouldnt show up to work. i wont even call in.
Have played: CoH, DDO EQ2, FFXI, L2, HZ, SoR, and WW2 online
First of all, i would hire an assasin to kill Henrik Pontén, the leader of antipiratbyrån in sweden (antipiracy) he is a cheap old bastard.. second buy me a car, really expensive car.. then get a HUUUGE house ^^ get the best kick ass computer u could get in this lousy world hmm, buy some candy ? :S create som stores, and live happy ^^
Put it in the bank. Live off the interest, and never touch the principle. For example, at 5% interest, a million would earn $50,000 dollars for the year. That's more than I make now, so I would be quite happy with it. The hardest part would be to make myself continue to work for the first year, waiting for it to build to a self-sustaining level, but I'm sure I would have no problem with that.
Buy Star Wars Galaxies Online, or SOE or the intellectual property of Star Wars from George Lucas. Fire everyone who is responsible for the NGE/CU, then make a pre-CU server, then log on... then ingame ..remake my ranger/Mch/Mrifleman character and go get some meat to sell to a doctor, maybe go shoot some quenkers on dantooine hehe The rest of the money I would use to ensure a certain smeds never works again
Well. mostly buy a nice house (I dont need a 20 room mansion, though I might need about 10 for to move my whole family in)
Invest about 100 million into the stock market so that I have a steady flow of cash and never have to work.
Buy the most badass computer possible, every modern game system, deck out a few rooms to be Rec rooms, buy any game ive ever wanted, build a small library of good books and finally buy alot of DvDs.
Donate to charity.
Put away enough to pay for a few generations worth of education.
Get some Warhammer 40k armies.
That about sums it up for me, I'd be able to live a lavish life, and take my family on vacations all around. Oh well, always good to dream about these things.
I think it's the objective of your past self to make you cringe.
We can agree to disagree, or we can bicker constantly... either way, I'm right. SobaKai.com There are two types of people in this world - people that suck... and me.

Mo' money doesn't equal smarter. Look at all the stupid people who win the lottery...spend it all in less than 5 years...and then end up dirt poor again..worse than dirt poor actually....bankrupt.
PREACHING WARNING!!!
Besides. Look at all the really smart people. I mean the great scientists.
Was Da Vinci poor or rich?
Was Einstein poor or rich?
Was Edison poor or rich?
Are teachers and professors poor or rich?
Really, think about it. Those with more money are usually the jerks who just got lucky. The ones discovering blackholes or string theory or the theory of relativity or the light bulb or designing flying machines centeries before the first one is build!!!
I think you can learn WAY more from a poor guy than a rich guy.
...Sorry....I had to vent.
(and yes I know there a few rich smart people...like Bill Gates...but they don't count cause once they became rich they stopped doing anything usefull...when was the last time Bill Gates came up with a revelotionary new idea? And if he did..it would be because he paid someguy to think for him and let him take the credit)

Well obviously I wasn't talking about them. I know a lot of them get into debt and into even worse off situations. I used a celebrity as an example because you obviously can't be dumb as shit as a celebrity or we would have A LOT more of them. You see all those people trying to become a celeb but 99% don't make it. Obviously its not all about smarts but you could allocate a good portion of it to that.
PREACHING WARNING!!!
Besides. Look at all the really smart people. I mean the great scientists.
Yup scientists are smart but also multimillion dollar businessmen and owners and you don't need to go to college to build a business and people do it.
Was Da Vinci poor or rich?
Was he out to make money? Nope (well probably not his goal because finances wasn't a priority). So he had a different goal in mind.
Was Einstein poor or rich?
Same as above.
Was Edison poor or rich?
Same as above.
Are teachers and professors poor or rich?
Some are rich. Teachers don't have to be "school teachers". You can write a book and travel the world giving lectures about whatever topic and be a teacher and make lots of money.
Really, think about it. Those with more money are usually the jerks who just got lucky. The ones discovering blackholes or string theory or the theory of relativity or the light bulb or designing flying machines centeries before the first one is build!!!
Ok you are putting WAY too much emphasis on science vs money. Most the rich people are the ones who own their own business or their investors, FACT. They didn't become rich because of "luck" but because they made choices. Now we can talk all about the "lucky jerks" but they inherited their money from their parents....but i'm talking about the ones who made the money. I guess with your theory, whenever you want money just become a jerk and hope for luck? Myabe you should try it and see how far you go....
If you think celebs are dumb then I suggest you try to become one and make a couple million and then you can give it all away to a charity if you really don't want the money. I mean you think millionaires aren't very bright and I don't think you are a millionaire so...I can only come to one conclusion, that you don't want the money.
I think you can learn WAY more from a poor guy than a rich guy.
Ok i'm talking about making money. If you want to learn to make money, you learn it from a RICH GUY!!!!! You learn to make money from a poor guy...lets see what he'll say shall we? "Get a 9-5 job and put some in a savings account for when you retire". Will that make you rich? Nope. Because the poor guy made shit decisions and is now poor. Rich guy will say "learn learn learn to invest, real estate, business building, tax loop holes....ect. Then go do it!". (Tax loop holes are not bad necessarily, tax loop holes are things businesses get to up the economy because they help businesses. Business owners should know them.)
What it comes down to is the subject and who is better at that subject. This thread was about money and so I talked about money...not how to discover blackholes (what good will that do ya anyways?).
...Sorry....I had to vent.
(and yes I know there a few rich smart people...like Bill Gates...but they don't count cause once they became rich they stopped doing anything usefull...when was the last time Bill Gates came up with a revelotionary new idea? And if he did..it would be because he paid someguy to think for him and let him take the credit)
I don't know much about Bill Gates but I don't think you should judge him because he is rich. He is certainly a very smart guy. I mean could you take over his enormous company for a year? Could you come up with an amazing idea and get it into action? Can you atleast make a million dollar annual income before you die? The last time Bill gates made a revolutionary idea???? You're probably using it.
Again you're going science vs business. You're comparing apples and oranges. Some people have money as a goal and some people have science as a goal. Both goals require great intelligence to become successful.
I personally had becoming a millionaire as a goal and I spent a few years educating myself on the subject. I came to the conclusion that real estate investing was the most lucrative. So again I then went into lots of education into real estate and all the ins and outs of it. I think I may go into it, but i've come to realize money is just not very important to me. SO i'm not trying to say money is the most important thing in the world. I'm just saying if you want to learn how to make it then you should ask someone who has it. (Keeping in mind i'm not talking about people who win it but actually earn it)
I made a few edits because some of my sentences before said completely different things because of little screw ups.

Since MSFT's market cap is 232.79 billion, your 1billion would not do much in the way of buying it. You might get to kiss Bill Gate's feet though.
