I would never work again, and buy a gold house and a gold car and laugh at normal people who drive normal cars and live in brick houses

I would set up a foundation with 1/2 of it and give money to people who need help and that would include the Educational programs in the USA.
Buy a small island in the Caribbean near Aruba where it does not storm much.
Put $1,000,000,000 into Immediate Annuities with an installment refund option spread among all the companies. This will pay me a monthly income for my Lifetime of which I will spend every penny. This will guarantee that I will always live this lifestyle and guarantee that I will never go broke. By the way a great place to buy these is http://www.jdsannuities.com .
With the balance Buy companies outright that I want to own.
Live a Great and Fun Life.
We can all dream.

WoW! a Trillion dollars.. So much could come of that amount. First make sure it draws the best interest possible so it will go as far as possible. Make A wish foundation would be first on my list to donate to, then the Cancer society and Heart foundation. Help the hearing impaired. To many worthy things to list. Provide education for many that would never be able to go to collage as so many are left behind. Any and all donations would be anonymous. It would take a lot of research to see that dollars went where really needed. I see so much waste and wonder where donations that are made really get where they are suppose to. Oh what a blessing it would be to know you helped someone and wanted nothing in return. A hand up not a hand out. WoW what a great dream...Smiles ear to ear on this question.

I would....invest some, put some away, buy a house for me, my parents, my sister, my brother, my best friend...you know all of them. I'd buy everything I ever dreamed of...lots of shoes and I'd install a huge room just for my shoes, another for my clothes. I would give all my friends and family (well, those I can stand anyway) everything they ever wanted. Then I'd start giving something to pretty much every charity I could find, human, dogs, nature...everything I believe is helping. And I'd put the rest in the bank for when I needed it.

Take over the oil companies and food companies. Then make every one walk to get there food to save the world from global warming & obesity as well as there being no war ships or planes to deliever any type of destructive behaviors. With more thought there would be additional time spent for peace.

Live off the interest and create a Theme Park. Develop a Television Show. Make a movie. Maybe create some new inventions.

It wouldn't take a trillion dollars, but it may as well be, to me. I'd like to spend the next few years exploring 'gyroscopes' and associated properties with a view to developing inertialess drive. I believe we are within 10 years of getting this.

Of course the usual.
Invest a lot of it for personal income forever for my family.
Buy homes everywhere in the world.
Buy a few islands & countries even.
Buy a seat of a future flight into space (preferably non-shuttle).
Buy microsoft. Cure or help cure.
Consider giving a lot of it to local people - people I know mainly.
Maybe finance a few 'bounty' or 'wanted' posters. hint.
