Keep a million for fun, everything else, buy a very conservative and diversified portfolio, borrow against it and purchase real estate worldwide in places with water access and least affected by climate change. With profits start funding antifa, anarcho-syndicalist, ecosocialist, and similar movements.

Not tell anyone and just quietly retire. Spend as much time as possible with my kids as they grow.

Give my uncles, aunts and cousins a cool mil each, give my mom and my sister 10 mil each, buy some real estate on the coasts, and most likely fund some Democrats in Florida and Texas, do some traveling

Realistically, and assuming I claimed it and handled the financial and legal aspects of having that much money, I’d do this;

Pay off my debts, as well as those of my parents and sister, then help friends pay off everything. Then buy a nice house and nice stuff, leave my job, then travel.

Then I’d see what sorts of things I can use my money to improve, or who I can help.

While money is nice for security, I don’t need or want anywhere remotely close to 1$billion at one time. That amount of money is dangerous.

Buy a bottle of McCallans 12yr and a 8ball and see where I wake up next week.

As one stand up comedian once said: the biggest issue is not what to do with the money, but how to keep it secret from the people around you

I would honestly just disappear.

If I had enough money that I can just go “fuck you”, that’s what I’d do. I’d obviously help my family financially, but probably not as a lump sum except to help them buy property to make houses on. But beyond that, I would basically be away and uncontactable. No one would know where I am and what I’m up to except maybe a couple times a year.

The bigger question is actually what type of charity I’d end up doing. I have some distrust for charities, so I’d want to take a more direct approach, so in all likelihood, I’d be helping a number of small creators I believed in to see if they could get a chance at establishing themselves better.

1. Hire a fiduciary consultant/accountant to ensure the money is invested into accounts where I can live off the interest more than comfortably.
2. Travel to all the places my wife and I want to go.
3. Buy citizenship (via investor visa) in the best developed country that fits our lifestyle and life priorities.
4. Buy a nice but not extravagant house.
5. Buy all the non-essential stuff I’ve always wanted to buy.
6. Hire a personal chef who will cook healthy AND delicious meals for us everyday, so I only need to cook when I actually want to.
7. Give a lump sum to each of my immediate family members and my wife’s mom and brother. We trust them enough to not abuse the privilege of having a billionaire family member.

Pay off my house, pay off close friends and family houses, buy a bunch of land, buy cool cars, travel.

I’ll tell ya what I’d do, man. Two chicks at the same time, man.

First start the process of getting a new wheelchair, my current one is 13 years old and leaves a trail of nuts and bolts.

I would come back here and give 1 mil to everyone who upvote me and 2 mil for op

Pay off all debts and mortgages for myself and my immediate family, then put away whatever’s away into separate HYSAs for a few months to let the initial rush go away.

Keep it a secret.

Set up a philanthropic trust, invest it in a relatively safe mix of stocks and bonds, and set up distributions as a % of growth to a bunch of institutions I think are super important.

After buying a nicer house and paying off family debts and stuff of course.
