If you had a billion dollars Options

What would you do with it? I would buy myself a private island and turn it into a semester resort, complete with yacht club.

A Billion huh?

There's no way in a conceivable way I can get you a proper response without knowing the tax exemptions/costs every year and other legal loopholes before I can give you a correct answer, but based on what I do know, I would try to get a new household, relatively in normal size, draw up fences around it and tighten security, make it subtle however; a fence around it with bushes (particularly ones that would hurt like hell if you trited to get on them) hidden cams, and doors. Why the security? Akin if you had just won the lottery, people will find out ; family, friends, strangers attempting to ask you for money, you can deal with friends and family all the same, but strangers is what you'd have to worry about and they will try to break in. Better lock up tight during the night. The scope of the household would have to be moderate, I'm not talking a mansion here, just something that no one would expect to note as a billionaires house, and it'll be easy to maintain and live in comfortably, even with the safety precautions in mind.

Now, as far as the rest of it, which would still be a lot, invest in some local businesses (avoid corporate owned businesses if at all possible) in order to get tax exemptions and possibly get a return from it. invest into my own business of a Cafe/Comic book shop hybrid (Think Barnes and Noble/Half Priced book stores but modern? Seems like those are becoming irrelevant) but for a different demographic, include games, sell coffee and other products, start up a few locations nearby. Go from there, slight risk but will reflect better on taxes and you'll get tax exemptions. Yes this is a big thing, every year you'll take a massive hit for having so much, for 'doing your part' if you will.

Another good chunk, if not the rest, gets dumped into the bank, where it'll accumulate interest and grow over time. Keenly become aware of the interest rate, switch banks if the interest isnt high enough and get that little egg growing more and more.

Now, there's still a TON left but at that point it becomes moot as to where it'd go because, I don't have that right now and I'd look into more places to invest in, or straight up keep it - that sum easily fits for the rest of my life as well as loved ones; and no I wouldnt be buying superretardedlyexpensive cars. A mere luxury car would do, and no, no bulletproof/armored version iether- shits expensive. Which is why buying a gun would be better 8) (all the guns, this is america after all)
