What would you do if you were filthy rich?

Question

If you were the richest person on earth....what would you do with your money? Where would you spend it?

Answer 1

Get an accountant, a lawyer and of course a financial adviser. You can't fix the problems of the world with just money. Key to everything is knowledge. Perhaps I'd find a way to help those in dire circumstances to go to school with a tutor and pay their college (as long as they put interest on themselves/goals and really deserve it).

Answer 2

Well, if I were filthy rich, I would know that I will have nothing to worry about for myself and my family anymore. I would start using my money to improve the situations of other people.

I would start businesses all over the world that would do the most good for the people in that particular area. I would use my money to create highly productive jobs for everyone, generating wealth for the whole world. I would put the more technologically advanced factories in countries that had more advanced education systems, obviously. I would probably be investing a lot more money in the poorer areas to get them started on a productive path.

I would change public education systems in America, that's for sure. I would create more highly capable programs, giving a better chance for advancement among the smarter students. Then they will not have to listen to the same things everyday, because the stupid kids didn't get it the 56th time they were told. I would also start robotics programs staring even in elementary schools. Children are the future. Robots performing the simpler jobs means more wealth for everyone. If we started kids on robots at a very young age, I mean, imagine what an entire generation of children would come up with.

I would create my own army of soldiers and engineers that would help with constructon projects all over the world when they are not killing faschists. I believe in freedom, the freedom to do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt anybody else or infringe upon their freedoms. So naturally, I don't like faschists.

I would create libraries all over the world, because ignorant people cause problems for everyone else. The next best thing that you can do for a person to insuring their survival, is share knowledge with them.

I would create more hospitals, and of course, because I believe in freedom, I would allow the country I put it in decide whether it will be government (tax funded) or if the visitors will have to pay. In non-socialist/communist countries, I would create free clinics as well.

Answer 3

Help in strengthening the being within every one. So that every one could live life with a pride even in adverse circumstances.

Spread message of peace across communities and religions. Help people of all communities and religions to rise spiritually and realize the common link between all beings.

Alms and material help can never strength the being from inside. One is same after money is spend. However some exceptions may be there.

Answer 4

If I were filthy rich, i would take a bath to be clean rich....then i would buy Canada and turn it into a Monarchy. I would be the KING OF THE CANUCKS! Bush can be my jester after he gets impeached. Dick Cheney can be my butler. I will legalize anything i see fit....and then make it illegal when i see someone i dont like doing it. Public executions will be restored. Eye for an eye punishments. AKA if you shoot someone in the leg, you get shot in the leg. Theft will be punishable by hand removal...sex offenders will be punished by hand removal and genital amputation, followed by public humiliation by having a cucumber inserted into a certain orphus and then set on fire. Oh i could go on for hours....so im just going to stop now.

Answer 5

I would honestly give a lot to chairities mainly for unwanted pets since I'm such an animal lover. And yes, I'd spend some in outrageous ways as well. I'd buy a killer yacht. I'd have some very expensive sports cars. I'd hang out with Paris and let her know that I'm richer than her! I'd go shopping all the time and not even look at the pricetags. OH, and I'd really rub into peoples faces that I dislike! And I would have tons of pets and a wonderful place to keep them mainly horses, dogs, and cats. Also, I would travel to really exotic, beautiful places and by myself some private Islands where I could take my yacht to.

Answer 6

first, I'd leave this place and get out of here from the leeches of people who would be 'friends' travel the world, buy family the things that they need. And try and act like a normal person who is just rich, but I think that would be pretty hard to do.

Answer 7

Well I would first Bath naked in It For a few hours. Then I would buy Me, my family, and a couple friends a new home. I would buy myself everything I needed, My son a At home teacher (the best), I would Put money into research for Leukemia ( my brother died of it ), I would give money into research for prostate cancer (my dad has it), I would put money into research for seizures ( my dog has them), I would buy my husband The bass boat of his dreams and let him Get into Professional Bass Tournaments, I would Buy a Huge home for Woman And children of domestic violence, I would give tons of money to charity and children's hospitals, schools. Then I would Invest the rest and watch it build up to what I just spent and make sure That I did it all over again....... How great it would be........

Answer 8

first I would buy me everything that I wanted my dream car, a model home, and go shopping in New york city, and then if I had any money left over I would donate it to a charity, dont matter which one but I would pic one. then I would sit on my butt watch TV all day and relax with all of my maids and butlers and maybe my own Message person...

Answer 10

keep 1/3 of it and upon my death it would go into an irrevocable trust that would spin out interest for generations for my family.

give 1/3 of it to various charities (including about 20million to a foundation that i would start so that my kids and other generations in my family would learn to be charitable).

take 1/3 of it and turned it into a grant for any company, individual or organization that was able to create a viable alternative for fossil fuel.
