That's more money than one can accurately comprehend, but I will entertain your inquiry. Assuming that i just obtained this money with my current state of affairs i would pay off some loans of mine and my family members and closest friends. Then i would set them all up with decent trust funds and some investment money. Then I would give millions and millions to maps and a few other proreform orgs. I would also make it a top priority to help improve our educational system here in the states. I'm not sure how to go about doing that now, but i know it would include giving away a large amount of the $$$$$. So all in all philanthropy is the only thing a person w/ this amount of wealth should be doing.

i'd build a city of the future.
you know, buy a plot of land somewhere reasonably safe and make it a city-state. then have archetects design something totally outragous and eco-friendly. then i'd give rediculous tax incentives to compassionate capitalist companies to make their headquarters there. the city would also have its own public non-profit shipping companies to make it even easier and cheaper for good companies to do worldwide business cheaply.
basically the whole plan would be to create a heaven for economically viable businesses that practiced high morality.
also i would make it so that celebrities couldn't visit without personal invites, hopefully make it a cool everybody wants to own a house there city, to further hype up the bussinesses there.
lots of publicly funded arts, experimental education. ect. a section of free artist and philosopher housing in exchange for doing public works.
all other funds would be used for mansion sized harems. except instead of like 5 wives, i'd have like 10,000.
also i would have my blood taken out, and my viens filled with liquid gold, and i would have my eyes replaced by the worlds largest diamonds, and my teeth would be plated with the rarest metals harvested from comets.

Corner the markets right? Haha with that kind of money you might as well take over the entire markets of gold, silver, platinum, palladium and you'd still be swimming in cash.

In 2005 the World Gold Council estimated total global gold supply to be 3,859 tonnes
Thats 120 million troy ounces, or at the current price it would be worth about 100 billion dollars, just 0.1% of your capital. (yes, at one time Bill Gates has as much money as the worth of all the gold in the world) You don't want all the gold in the world though, because then the worldwide gold trade would cease (no one has it but you) and what an ounce would be worth then would be anyone's guess. But let's say 25% of all the gold? (0.025% of your capital) yes, you'd definitely want that.

I would defiantly buy a few nice houses, nice cars, and a lifetime supply of droogz.
Start my own medical research company, and use all that amazing technology I could obtain to actually do something meaningful. Save some lives, feed some hungry people, and maybe build some schools in some shit hole 3rd world country.
Build myself an underground bunker stocked with droogz, a shooting range, lots of guns, and lots of whores. Lots and lots of whores. I'd hire every single Vivid Girl to be my personal slaves.

After an initial travel/hedonism spree, I guess I'd turn to full-time philanthropy.
I'd start a relief organization of unprecedented size and influence. I'd work on developing industry and infrastructure in struggling areas.
I'd also build giant robots to fight each other in sanctioned competition. I'm talking like 50 feet tall or so

Badass idea! What was that movie back in the early 90's that they did just that, except they weren't autonomous they had pilots. That movie was sick!

I like the robot idea, but lets just bring back Gladiators. Get the folks on Death Row, and let em fight for a chance to live. Nobody would be forced, but shit if you're getting the chair tomorrow why not try and fight a lion?

I'd buy the biggest fucking mansion I could find and let all of my close friends live with me for free for the rest of my life. I'd take endless trips to Amsterdamn and all friends would be invited for free. I'd buy like 10 of the best RV's money could buy and spend a couple of years traveling the country going to raves and festivals again with all of my friends comming for free. I'd buy a fucking island and blow it up just for fun. I'd buy every fucking Cadillac they make and pimp the shit out of everysingle one of them. I'd donate like $30 million to NORMAL and $100 million to MAPS. I'd burn $100 bills in my fireplace instead of fire wood. I'd pay NASA to let me take a vacation to the moon. And I'd probably end up overdosing on drugs before I had enough time to spend all my money.
