Sun Mar 13, 2005 1:07 am If you had Bill Gates Money of 46 Billion Dollars? |
|
What you spend it on?
1 - I would build 10 Casinos in Las Vegas. All casinos will constructed at the same time so they all open all at once. 2-5 Billion Dollars it would cost.
2 - I would have my own public zoo. Over 1000 land animals, insects, and fish. The zoo that will have animals from penguins to live chickens. 500million dollars?
3 - Buy a nice house, car, and other junks. 2million dollars?
4 - Give out 3 billion in donations.
5 - Start my own civilian space agency "National Civilian Space Agency" NCSA. Billions of dollars on that.
-------------------------------------
Other
1 - buy an island call it my country and make myself president.

OK, I would soooo do the island thing too, that would just be total awesomeness .
I would give $40 billion of it away to help fund some good stuff, and then I can basically still buy whatever the hell I want.

i would travel the world! I'd donate to many good causes. I'd make it so neither of my parents and family had to work anymore. I'd buy my dance company a brand new building!

I would kill myself... How's that? That's way to freaking much money for any one person to have. No, I wouldn't actually kill myself, but that caught everyone's attention. That's still too much money to even begin to think of what to do with. It's ridiculous.

I'd probably use some to make my basement into a gun shop (even though I probably wouldn't really sell em) and put a big Ammu-Nation sign on the wall Then I'd probably go to the store and buy everything I want, war games mostly. Dunno what I'd do with the rest. Probably buy a bunch of really expensive stuff, or donate to charities or something. That's a lot of money...

I would buy a huge peice of land, preferably north-central U.S./south-central Canada, and form a small landlocked nation, from which I can set a governmental example which would change the world.

Keep a few million for myself, then donate the rest to charity. That's way too much money for one person

I would go too Africa and supertend the Building of several State of the art hospitals. Make sure that everything goes right (not giving the money too charaties like Unicef but know where the money goes), Then i would get some higlhy educated doctors and nurses with enough experience from Europe and the US too work there. Make sure that they are payed by me and that they will help the poeple for free, curing AIDS, viral infections, bacterial infections, even small accidents. also hep in the researh afer Curse for AIDS, Ebola, Polio and Leprachy(sp?).
Then also build some schools and get some Teachers. Get some Masters in Farming, Agriculture, biology, geology, engineering and forresting too help build Farms, make the land fertile for Agriculture, build irrigation, Canals, Wells, Filters against Virusses and bacteria.
I would also fund multible research stations. i would fund NASA, SETI and PHILLIPS for exmple.
I would give money to aid research in Hydrogen Powered Vehicles, Space exploration, Nanotechnology, Cures to diseases and other stuff like that.
i think i would be able too pull that off, having the money in one of the Biggest banks of the world so i get an Interest from here too Tokyo.

I think there's something like the Bill Gates Foundation that gives a lot of money to charitiable causes. Can't be bothered to look it up right now though.

If I had 46 billion dollars, I wouldnt know what to do with all of that money. I know first I would buy my boss out at my job and make myself the boss of the company. Than, I'll buy a 3500 Chevy van full customized with everything possible with lots of space and I'll buy all my friends all new vans and anything else they want on it. I'll put 5 billion in a bank somewhere and let it grow and buy lots other good money. And I dont know what else to buy. But I'll be set for life. Dont have to worry about money problems.
