If you won one billion dollars....
 
What would be the very FIRST thing you'd buy?

Remember, big purchases take time to set up, and they take time to make.

A limo full of prostitutes.

That is just dirty man. Think of how many people they slept with. :eek:

I would probably buy a very nice car... And do what DMX did in Exit Wounds... Just show up with a bag full of cash! Thats the way to buy stuff.

Drunk Hobbit 02-14-2002 03:50 PM

A bottle of iced tea

TheGrimReaper 02-14-2002 03:59 PM

Stuff.

Perfect Stu 02-14-2002 04:07 PM

Britney Spears

DDC 02-14-2002 04:12 PM

I would go out and buy some beer and celebrate buy getting drunk.

And decide what to do next the following day.

Xantar 02-14-2002 04:14 PM

Do I really have to buy anything? Because I'd actually just stick all $1 billion into a bank account and live off the interest for the rest of my life. Let's see, at an annual rate of 3%, a billion bucks would get me $30 million a year. More than enough for me.

Ok, fine, if I really have to buy something, I'd buy a BMW sports car (stick shift, naturally) to drive myself over to the bank to deposit what's left of my billion dollars into a savings account.

But really, putting it into a savings account is kind of like buying a lifetime of security and comfort. Who wouldn't want that?

Hello? Is anybody listening?

Yes of course. A billion dollars isn't even close to security or comfort...

The_Dunadan 02-14-2002 04:28 PM

put it in my account!!! oh, you said buy something. umm...i'd take a little of it and buy a....er.....HDTV!

LoudHowardZERO 02-14-2002 04:45 PM

BlueFire 02-14-2002 05:04 PM

I'd give Chris 50 bucks to beat the living **** out of howard.

DimHalo 02-14-2002 05:16 PM

I would buy my own concert venue so that I could see all the big bands for free! :rock:

N8 02-14-2002 05:55 PM

I'd go tip a cow

*locks door*

Angrist 02-14-2002 06:54 PM

The FIRST thing I would buy?? I dunno, some good food that i usually find too expensive or something...

Or perhaps I'm buying a AGB game or something...

I would save most of it though... I've got everything I want!

fingersman 02-14-2002 08:16 PM

First I thing I would do is buy land....then set up apartments cause people always need someplace to live.....and then I would buy a jeep and a tubro starlet :D...then invest in goverment bonds.......put some of it in the various banks. Then I'd take all my friends on a world trip. Then I would set another set of apartments for poor peeps. etc..etc more profit = more money :D bwahahahahha

Right that's what I would do. :D

I would pay someone 50 bucks to allow me to beat the living **** out of howard :D

GameKinG 02-14-2002 10:31 PM

Like xanatar said you could stick the billion in the bank for interest. Hey, you could even live off the interest. 30,000,000 can buy a lot of houses and cars (If thats your thing).

Neo 02-14-2002 10:35 PM

Winning a billion dollars would ruin your life. Your friends would all hate you unless you gave them some of it. And why not? You've got enough to spread around. But how much should you give, $1000? $100,000? Why not $1 million you cheap bastard? The less you give, the more of a scrooge you are. The more you give, the more you'll be accused of trying to buy friendship. My advice if you win a billion dollars, don't tell anyone.

Or you could use your money to buy new, better friends.

Who needs your old friends when you're loaded? They're small time. Take a step up in life, I say.

(And if your old friends don't like that idea, just pay someone to kill them. I mean, ****, you have a billion dollars, right?)

Really....

*Opens stand*

"Beat the **** outta me for $50"

step right up, keep in mink you have to pay for your own flights, but it's worth it, itsn't it ;)

BreakABone 02-14-2002 11:27 PM

Hmm I don't know if this applies to any place other than NYC, but it really makes no sense to put more than $100,000 in one bank account as that is the most they will insure. What that means is if someone robs the bank and you have one account witha billion bucks you would only get $100,000.. which is pretty screwed up


As for me I really don't know what I would do with that money...

Gamer 02-14-2002 11:35 PM

I'd go buy a porsche 911 turbo, and a sweet ass sterip o system for it. Then I'd buy a sweet home theatre system...ya i think thats about 1 billion...

GameMaster 02-14-2002 11:46 PM

I would buy a Zoot suit like the Mask did. :D

GameKinG 02-14-2002 11:46 PM

A friend in need is no friend indeed. Or at least if they are not really in need. Greedy B@stards.

HAhHAHAHA None of my friends would get any money from me.....reason being I would buy what they want....and I don't mean cars and women....I mean businesses, like some of my friends are into mechanics so I would gave them a huge shop and then together we run out all the other businesses then take them over. :D Bwhahahaha and I would do this with all my friends. :D..So I wouldn't have to be supporting them all the time...they can support themselves...and I would make profit as well....and after a while once they get their footing in business and can support themselves....I would cut my financial backing since they won't need it. :D and if their business flops after I leave them....they can't say I didn' gave em a chance. :D

Yup yup ...but I'll probadly never win a billion dollars.*sigh* Look like I would have to earn it. :(....Hey anyone wants to rob a bank with me???

Angrist 02-15-2002 10:40 AM

Didn't he ask for the FIRST thing??

My friends wouldn't be my problem, it would be my family...

I have about 8 friends who I would take care of...

but I have about 40 famly members who would act like I owe them somthing... and 10 family members that I would give money to on my own.

I don't exactly know how I would handle that situation

N8 02-15-2002 03:18 PM

After tipping a cow, I would go buy some matches and some hot dogs. Thats a lot of paper, I could have a big party with that bonfire.
