I would throw together a huge woodstock-like party that lasted a week and let people just camp out there with everything needed to survive for a week free, including the drugs. Then I'd pay off all of my bills, repair my credit, buy a mansion, cars, etc, and be set for the rest of my life.

pay off my college, and the debt of any of my loved ones. invest a substantial portion and hopefully make more out of it. live comfortably, buying whatever the fuck i want without being incredibly frivolous.
i don't think i'd buy a mansion or an aston martin or anything like that, simply because when you buy shit like that, 10mil isn't going to last you very long.
oh! also, set up a totally fucking kickass growroom for a steady supply of grade A mj for myself and my friends.

I'd divide it into 4 qaurters.
2.5billion between my parents, just for being my parents/
2.5 billion to world conservation, buying up national parks, invesitng in animal shelters, donating to Wildlife Warriors, paying zoos to make their enclosures bigger etc (fuck charities)
2.5 billion to buy an island/country/province and completely re-design the drug laws, promote it as a safe-haven for safe and responsible drug use, with restrictions on other hard drugs etc... kind of like a cooler version of holland. Or just buy an island and turn it into one huge LSD/DMT lab, with a few shroom and MJ grows on the side, and keep the 0ther 3/4 of the island as a resort/safe haven with bamboo shacks and just live it survivor-style (without the cameras and starvation. Have huge raves and festivals there all throughout the year.
2.5 billion to myself, to do with whatever the fuck I want. I'd buy an island somewhere off the cost of Oz, some small properties/holiday homes on different continents, put into retirement funds, party for a few weeks then go off and hitch hike the world.
Maybe hand out a billion of so to all my friends, for being awesome. Set them all up comfortably with homes, cars, bit of cash on the side. I'd feel bad otherwise.
Although, it depends on where the money comes from

10 billion? Screw investing. I'd just keep it very quiet, buy a nice place in the countryside, fill it with fun electronic stuff, and set up an entheogen production lab (purify me some DMT crystals and synthesise other chemicals, as well as grow our little psychedelic friends ). Of course, I'd need a satellite broadband connection too, as well as a nice big TV and other such stuff.

Start developing high rise structures after studying economic reports and future government developments to find niche markets. By doing that I would effectively divert the cashflow to hard working people and make positive influences on peoples' lives that I have no right taking credit for. Because just blowing it all would create a following of lazy asses bumming off of me.
That would also accomplish lining my pockets even thicker and increase my political influence without being a polotician. That kind of power, influence and independant wealth would give me the oppurtunity to make the changes in government I would like to see. (legalize efforts, privacy laws increased, and strict enforcement of scammer laws /fags) If the changes I try to make in gov. doesn't work out, then the poloticians I influence would hang and I'd just find a new pawns.

I would fly over inner cities in a supersonic jet dumping $10's, $20's and $50's. People would hear the sonic boom, then come running for the falling money.
I'd try to hit at least one major, random city per week... dump about $10,000,000 at a time.
That would be cool.

Awesome. They'd all be like Pavlov's Dog with that sonic boom...
Then later you could just fly by and drop no money

Get a PhD in chemistry, biology, physics, economics, math, and psychology.
Then start companies in biotech, energy, and security. Create an army of around 500k mercs and invade Africa and kill of all the leaders, armies, all out massacre. Put in place Africans educated in the US and Europe as presidents, prime ministers, etc. and then move onto Russia and Middle East.
Push for space exploration and manifest destiny 2.0.

start sustainable organic community programs in 3rd world countries lobby congress for more solar and natural energy initiavies start free homeopathic rehab/consultation centers start a bunch of green businesses as fronts, massively manufacture ibogaine, mushrooms, cannabis, lsd, ecstasy, peyote + and distribute freely buy a 55 acre lot and start a "famly" community fully fund a creative idea firm, patent the best ideas, and give patent rights to whichever companies are the most honest build a zeppelin have techno wizards employed and under NDAs, fight the technological grid prison the list goes on

Ten billion dollars..
First of all.. I wouldn't want to be known to be that rich. That just brings hassles. I wouldn't want to be known as a great benefactor either because being known to give away great riches would just draw in the greedy and needy. I can't help em all so fuck it - no fame.
I recently heard that it would cost a mere 8 gigadollars to make clean drinking water available to the close proximity of the entire world's population. I'd like to do that, and imagine what a trip that would be: hundreds of millions of people (mostly women and children) in the developing world are freed from the daily burden of carrying many gallons of water across miles in the scorching hot sun, and can put their productivity to better use. And one person (you) singlehandedly solved this world problem. At a mere $ 8 gig thats a steal! That would be a most satisfying thought to wake up to every morning.
$ 2 gig left. So little money, so little time..
$ 1 gig or a bit more I'd spend on a self perpetuating charity for the economic development of the continent of Africa at the most basic level. These people are hardest hit by poverty, disease and war - that's the one region in the world that is worst off by far. Aside from emergency and structural aid I'm more specifically thinking about things like microcredit which allows the really poor people to advance themselves with tiny loans at low interest. (for instance loan the $100 a barley farmer needs to buy two goats, so that he can raise sheep on his waste straw and advance himself selling not just grain but goats, meat, milk and hides as well)
$ 1 gig left.
The final gig goes to my close and loved ones and for a large part to my personal enjoyment. There's a lot you can do for a billion. Theres family and friends and to a lesser extent acquantances.
Poor Ythan will get a heart attack when he sees the number of my Shroomery donation. On the Shroomery level I'll also do some fun things, like an annual worldwide festival for all notable Shroomerites who can be arsed to be flown in to Holland businessclass
I think I'll allocate 2.5% of the wealth for my personal enjoyment. That after all still is 250 million dollars which in my view is really all I ever want ten times over, and all I really need for the rest of my life a hundred times over.
So lets break it all down one more time:
$ 8 gig -- solve the world drinking water problem for good $ 1 gig -- a self-perpetuating charity for the advanvement of the continent of Africa $ 0.5 gig -- a self-perpetuating fund for crazy funstuff like Shroomery blowouts $ 0.25 gig -- assuring financial independence for family and friends $ 0.25 gig -- personal wealth & getting by
Can I have my ten billion dollars now?

I would travel around the world and basically live from place to place for a good amount of years. I would drop out of college. Then I would buy a house and mass quantaties of drugs and have EVERYONE I know come to it. Private property or course so no law enforcment.

Relax for the rest of my life, that's 10,000 million. I would never run out of money. (Considering how much I currently live on).

Keep about 5 mill myself to invest for my future and pump the rest into cannabis legalization. With that kind of money surely one could make some headway.

I would try and think of way that I could use that 10 billion to totally fuck up the system. I'm not sure if 10 billion is enough though. But it would be pretty amazing to destroy all of the corrupt coporate empires and replace them with responsible businesses. Like buy out a car company and start producing biodeisel cars and selling them for like half the price of ordinary cars, and watch the automobile industry become a beautiful thing.
That would probably require 900 billion though.

Yeah dude, 10 billion dollars is not even close to enough money to screw the economy, it a drop in the bucket really - I mean our debt is 6 or 7 TRILLion dollars.
Most people don't really understand how much money 10 billion is.
First of all your bills and debts really shouldn't even figure into the equation, even if you had a 10million dollar debt it would be a joke to pay off. On the flip side you dont have enough money to affect the national/global economy in any real negative way.
The most realistic was to lobby for marijuana legalization. I would personally start my own NPO, NORML has too much of an existing reputation I wouldn't want to deal with. At the same time I would invest billions in marijuana cigarette factories in preparation for the incoming business $$$$$$$$$$$

i would probably build my own private community in the middle of nowhere and move all my friends and family out there, give them all a few million, start a weed farm and get a bad as mycolab and then spend the rest on a mountain of mescaline and molly, and throw crazy partys every night until i died, and put my penis in lots of hot womens faces
life would be good
except it would probably be kinda empty, but who needs sentiment when you have hallucinogens And hookers

I'd buy $9 billion worth of ping-pong balls and fill up various buildings with them and then hide in the bushes while I watched people open the doors.
Then I'd use the rest to just spend on random shit, maybe give some away to my good friends.
