Answer 1

With 5 Billion Dollars…

1. Buy the Pittsburgh Penguins and buy a stadium to house them in… This would take approximately 1 billion dollars.

2. Take an idea I have about public transportation to decrease fossil fuel consumption in the USA and Implement it in one city for a pilot program. This would also help to decrease pollution. (This is basically adding options to the current mass transit systems so more people can utilize the facilities with less complication, faster transit, more options to maneuver from place to place.) $480 million not counting other funds acquired by sponsors.

3. 4 million in the bank for my family to retire. (4 people in my family.)

4. Set up a trust account for other people I know to be well off at age 55. 2 million

5. Find individuals and companies across the USA that have manufacturing ideas or in the manufacturing business that need help regaining ground for sales in the USA and abroad. (Try and create more exports of goods so the USA can be a more prosperous country. At a deficit of 700 BILLION dollars a year in imports VS exports the USA needs an uplift to regain industrial strength. Allocate 1 Billion dollars

6. Create inner city and lower income suburban area training centers for adults and children. Utilize volunteer and paid workers to help create a large scale project to educate the population of the United States of America by making available recourses for education. This would entail community, and city involvement by providing easy access to the educational system even for adults. This is almost on the basis of a community college BUT more effectively by offering skills at little to no charge to the participants who wish to increase their standing in life. Offering low cost meals, childcare and more while people are in classes. EVEN tutoring or help with children of high school years maybe needing extra help with studies. This basically would get people ready for a community college or even more. Set aside 2.114 billion dollars.

7. 400,000 million for business holdings to make sure it is solid and stable. So ideas above will succeed.

Hopefully the taxes are all ready taken out and I have the whole 5 billion…..

Lot’s of people need help out here… This just might set the path to a better nation….

Answer 2

Give 4 billion away. Quit my current job to go to college full time so I can pursue a degree that gets me the job of my dreams. Set aside money for my kids' college, help family members get out of debt and invest the rest. I'm not so greedy that I'd keep it all but I don't have "stupid" tatooed on my forhead as to give it all away to where my future is once again not guaranteed and still have to find a way to pay for college for my kids. Definitely won't retire. Why would one want to retire at 36?

Answer 3

Half would automatically go to set up a charity. It would be set up so that the base amount would never be touched, but any annual interest it earned would go to charity. That way it would continually give to charity throughout the years, instead of just once and then be gone.

I have some family and friends who could use some help, so I'd use part of the rest to do that. I'd probably buy a modest house for myself, then invest the rest, maybe donating profits from that to charity as well.

Answer 4

I would use one million to buy a nice house out in the country.
I would buy my fiance the Dodge Ram with the Hemi that he's been drooling over.
I would buy myself a Mini Cooper.
I would pay off my parent's debt, and pay for their divorce. (It's a huge issue right now because my mom's having mental breakdowns and neither of them can pay for it.)
I would pay back my grandparents all the money my dad owes them.
I would fix my grandparents house. (It needs a new foundation.)
I would pay for my wedding!
I would keep enough to visit my dad's family in Alabama every year.
I would save enough for my children's college, and first car.
I would put some in savings.
I would set up a scholarship fund at my old high school.
And the rest would be split between the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Action Against Hunger, Helen Keller services for the blind, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, Ronald McDonald house, Children Incorporated, and lots of other charities.

Yaaa $5 bill would be nice.

Answer 5

I'd hire financial advisors, a lawyer, think about a business to create, create it, generate more income, and spend most of the earnings of people who really need it like orphans, widows, people who need medications (rabies in the PH would be one), what else.. I'd save some for myself, for my children, and grandchildren, and do a lot more volunteer work in my spare time. Oh, and come out with some music.. I love music.

Answer 6

4.5 billion would go to "the wilds" christian camp to help start "the wilds of new England" and to help the camp with any thing they need. I LOVE this camp. .3billion would go to my family for debt. and I would use the rest on a new laptop, and college.
