Well, since most of you guys mentioned charities, I'd set aside 100 million$ for OXFAM. But the rest well, I'd invest, get my money back after the hour, than just live a life of pure luxury:). I might buy Manchester United from the Glazers, but i mite be running a bit short.

Lots of assumptions...
It's easily accessable (i.e., electronically) and by "spend" you mean that I can buy things for myself or deposit it into banks/accounts...
I'd begin transferring all of it into mutual funds, stocks, and savings and I'd pay all the people helping me lots of money to do so. The amount I had left toward the end of the hour, I'd donate to charity.
As long as I could bank a few million into stable mutual funds, I'd be set, so I could give the rest away and not even worry about it.
Oh, and I'd buy a missile silo.

Well, I would try to buy as much real estate as possible. I don't know if you could close on some place/places that speedily, but if you have enough cash you could probably get it done...
Or maybe, buy gift certificates for a million dollars each for as many stores as I could get in an hour..... maybe even those american express ones that are good everywhere....

Fund a "round trip French Luncheon" for a half-dozen people for 2.5 days {they would have to leave immediately after the third lunch} and pay for the gas there and back. That should cost a billion and some change :)

I'd call all my creditors, then buy a house in Malibu, a penthouse in NYC, and a ranch in Texas online. I'd transfer $100,000,000 into my parents' bank account and $200,000,000 in a trust for each of my kids. I'd go to the local foreign car dealer website and buy a Maserati, a BMW 6 series, and a Hummer H2, and I'd hand the rest over to my broker.

I would go on put it all into Paypal and then Ebay every auction ending within the hour.
Edit: Actually, I like Tom's idea. But I would only buy $1,000,000,000.00 dollars worth. If I could buy a trillion dollars worth of gold for a billion dollars, I might be worried it is fake. :)

Simple- invest a small amount, enough to look after myself into my old age , and put the rest to help clear some of the African national debt. Maybe all of it to Africa. They are our brothers- I've a good chance off my own bat here in the UK, they deserve a clean slate and a chance to start anew...

First thing I'd buy a Gulfstream V, hire my own pilots and use it to transport sick kids to hospitals. THEN, I'd give a few million to the NRA and buy up as many guns as I could in an hour and then buy my HUGE yacht. Easily done in an hour.

I'd spend 1/3 on a very wild party, 1/3 on some fast women, and I'd probably just squander to rest !!!

Go to a Fidelity Investments sales office and buy a bunch of mutual funds.
