you cannot just give it away, and remember real estate is an asset---

Watch Brewster's Millions with Richard Pryor and John Candy.
It would be almost impossible to actually spend that much money and not have anything left. You would have to just flat out give a lot of money away as huge tips and salaries.

I would create a world-wide contest and award one country the entire amount as a Peace Prize. I would ask that any country with a civil war could compete, but all sides have to participate in the solution. They'd have six months to apply, and then I'd have six months to read all the applications (with help from translators, because, remember, you'd probably make $50 million in interest on the one billion, so you'd have to spend that too). At the end of the year, give it to the country with the best proposal, but they have to be peaceful to get it. You've solved one countries' civil war, and forced other countries involved in civil war to get all the sides talking.
If that's considered "giving it away" then I would go to hotels in a large city, rent rooms for several months, and then approach agencies serving homeless families and let them put the people in the rooms until they can get a job and get on their feet. I don't end up with anything, the homeless families get a home until they can afford something else, and the hotels are the ones who benefit, so I'm buying something, not giving it away.

I'd buy an Airbus 380 and one of those Royal Caribbean yachts deck them out real nice, travel the world, meeting beautiful women, drinking expensive liquor, and living like a Grade-A superstar, and then on the last day of the year, do an "experiment" to see what an Airbus looks like crashing into a half-mile long yacht (making sure everyone has evacuated each, though).

Apply for all the Internet Debt Consolidation Loan Companies on the Internet...........after they got done "scamming" you, you would be lucky if you did not owe them more than the $1 Billion.
That, or you could just get married! LOL

Buy "How to blow a billion" on DVD if you really want to know.
