Just curious as to what depraved, maniacal acts you people would do.

Just to give you a good comprehension of his INSANE amount of money...

If you were given it, retired right now (or if you're even just a student and never were employed), never earned another penny, and spent a million dollars every single day, you could never possibly live long enough to spend it all.

That or purchase a small, nuclear-armed nation to reestablish the communist bloc and piss off the US. Prolly get sick of ruling pretty fast, and turn it into a quasi-anarchist or absolute democratic nation, after I'd taken a couple potshots at the Pentagon.

I would buy off any company that owns the rights for FS, then I would use those companys to make nothing but FS novelty items, now everyone can have the 32 hour Colossus model kit, the SF Mara coffee mug, the GVC Aten paper weight, the Hades floor lamp, the Herk II key holder, the Ravenna coat hanger, and a cuddly plush Hatshepsut toy, then we can go into the Shivan, Vasudan, and Terran action figures  :D :D

Whatever you do....

Don't give them a 'kung fu grip'! Especially the Shivans (3)?

Having GI Joe flashbacks.......

It's all already been said.

However, I think that Gates' fortune is pretty safe with him. It's not like he's investing in Evil™, and he has enough consumables that he can now give head-spinning amounts away.

Which is, y'know, nice.

I would spent most of the money to do good, for example to give money for those poor people who can't afford enough food or clean water!  :(

Next would be a lot of money to space technology. ;7

IF? no no, when

probably I will do absolutly nothing with it. it will sit in some stupid bank account and do a-b-s-o-l-u-t-l-y nothing.  I have no need for money.

I'd buy lot of stuffs, what do you think? :p
but I would keep working, coz man I feel bad when I don't work ( scarry, i used to think the exact opposite a couple years ago ). I'd probably wouldn't care if my PC had a pb, I'd just buy a new one, for exemple ( yeah, I'd build a full network for myself -I have lots of friends :D- :p )
I'd also go to a pshychanalist (sp?) coz there's no way that would happen and so that'd me I've turned mad.
SCREW CANON!

I'd buy a bunch of things.

But, I'd have to buy the FS rights and Volition, so we'd get are FS3!  That would take up a sizable amount of change.  You also get the benfit of owning a game company.

Sweet Movie!  I love it. But I'm not going to tell you what it is.  lets see if anyone else knows it.  I think thats what started my obsession with space fighters, or maybe Starwars, maybe both?
