[Mrburns2007]

I'd buy a new car, big house, a wife and then start some kind of business to boost the economy.

 

[UNCjigga]

I'd make an Adam Sandler movie

 

[spanky]

i bet i'd spend it all becuz of the hot deals forum too

 

[yakko]

They would take a whole sh!tload because of the death tax.

 

[ThePresence]

I'd buy an island in the south pacific, and no one would see or hear of me again.

 

[tcsenter]

How much taxes would be taken out?? if any

Did you ever get an answer to your question? Cuz, if not, I don't know, either. Although, if Bush had his way, you wouldn't pay a nickel in taxes except for some probate and attorney costs, which I think is absurd.

and then what would you spend it on??

My parents would never worry about money again. I would send them on one of those expensive European vacation deals, with all the bells and whistles.

My siblings would never have to worry about money, they're all mature and responsible so they can handle the money wisely.

My grandma would get upgraded to one of those expensive nursing homes where they actually get good care instead of the Medicare Special, and they won't prevent her from having a night-cap before bed if she wants. ;-)

I would keep $30 million and give the rest away.

I'd have a great life.. and so would those who are closest to me, what good is money if you can't share it with those you love

Oh.. and I'd buy Canada another tank, then they could go dual

LOL, with 40 billion you could buy Canada

 

[Kadarin]

I would invest in biotech and longevity research (Genentech, Geron, etc.)

That and start a scholarship fund for middle-class college students who are not minorities.

 

[xirtam]

I'd buy a third-world country so I'd have enough space for my LAN parties.

Yep the concept of you actually being able to inherit your relatives money is absurd. We are all entitled to a cut of your relatives hard work. You should be grateful that we let you retain even a small bit of it.

I would give $500,000,000 to each one of my family members and friends. I would then take the remaining 10 billion or so, and start making 100 million dollar donations to the organizations of my choice.

I would then take the last billion dollars or so, have it changed into gold dollars, quarters, dimes, and nickels.. fill a large vault up with it, and swim.

Not to be an ass, but you can't swim in coins. They're too flat and heavy.





I'd use the money to start my own company, or buy a fairly large company that I thought was heading in the wrong direction.

I'd donate $1 B to Rutgers so they'd name the business school after me.

 

[B00ne]

With that money I could have the russions fly me to space station about 1000 times - heck that would piss off NASA

 

[Nightfall]

I'd tell you what I'd do.

Two chicks at the same time

Seriously, I would put all the porn companies out of business. I would get a ton of bandwidth, terrabytes of space on a server, and load it up with free porn. Then I would buy a domain name like porn.com and not charge a nickel for access to the server.

 

[Tiger]

Your going to pay way more than 40% depending on what state you live in.
I'd pack my toothbrush, golf clubs, and swim suit and be tough to find for the first month or so.
Pay off all my families debts. Probably send my sister and parents to Australia. She was born there and has never seen it and my folks would like to go back with her.

Probably buy lots of little goodies and build one kickass Ham Radio antenna ranch like this.

<--- Can't believe no one has come up with an Office Space reference yet.

One again I point out the ability to 'do two chicks' has nothing to do with the amount of money you have.

Actually with that much money, you could just buy/build/and dedicate a whole new wing to Alpha. I'm sure they'd even fly you up if you did that

Let's say that they take 40% out, so that leaves me with $24billion, more than enough. I'd buy a little house out in Big Sur, Califorinia and go to school for the rest of my life, trying to study every subject available. I'd also become a professional philanthropist, taking part in any number of charities. And to top it off, I'd probably fullfill my life-long goal of climbing Everest.

Oh yeah, I'd buy all of you a nice 'puter too and build a LAN party building with 1000 stations. Gotta have my priorities.

 

[A5]

It does to the kinda chicks that would double up on a dude like me.
