What would I do with $1B??

[Dusty Britches]

I'm looking at my Pope and Young magazine - I'd go on a Woodland Caribou hunt!

This is one of the few non - US animals I'd like to hunt.

[CoolArrow]

I would hunt, fish, and play golf all over the world and repeat this over and over and over again

[flywise]

Fly my bush plan from ranch to ranch
Play a lot of golf
Do a lot of huntin
And quit my job only when that perfect customer presents himself

[OrangeBlood]

whatever I wanted

[Creed Killer]

Man... You would be able to do everything you ever dreamed of twice!!

[Chuy]

Give my tithe to the church
Start a charity / clinic for kids with autism
Set up my family 1M each. Immediate gets 5M
Buy a ranch to live on
Buy a boat (s)
Spend my days enjoying sunsets with either a gun or rod in my hand

First thing I would do is get the money in my account, go put about 20mil in my dads account, meet up with him, and tell him to check his bank account. Second, head to utopia area, but a sweet ranch. Get another place in the Dakotas, and Alaska. Maybe build my own island?

[Kdog]

Haven't seen the magazine yet, but a Woodland Caribou is definitely on my to do list. Don't think you need a billion to do it though, but I get the point.

I'd give about $100M to water.cc, let them give water to the world.

663 million people lack access to an improved source of drinking water—that's 1 in 9 of us. In the places we work, it's more like 1 in 2 . Great progress is being made globally, but whole people groups are being overlooked—it's the poorest people with the least political power that continue to suffer, and these are the people we are called to serve.

Water & Women. Many women spend 20 hours per week collecting water, some walking 7 miles a day, often for contaminated water. Too often the walk is not safe for them physically. It is women and the children they raise who suffer most without water, and who benefit most from access to it.

Water & Health Water-related diseases cause 2.2 million deaths a year; every day, diarrhea takes the lives of 2,000 children in Africa—more than any other single cause of death. Safe water, a toilet, and clean hands could prevent 90% of these deaths.

Water & Education Globally, water-related diseases steal 443 million school days a year. Roundworm, whipworm, and hookworm stunt growth, cause debilitating anemia, and follow kids into the classroom, shrinking cognitive potential. Illness causes absenteeism and early drop-out. Simple solutions can keep kids in school.

Water & the Gospel. There's hope. In the past 20 years 2 billion people have gained access to safe drinking water—but that's not the best story we have to tell. For us water is a picture of living water—the good news that God wants to transform people, communities, and the whole world through the person of Jesus Christ.

1 Access to improved water sources in rural areas averages 47% across Living Water countries of operation in Africa and the Americas, according to figures from the WHO/Unicef JMP's 2012 Report on Drinking Water and Sanitation.

2 In 2010, studies began to show that diarrheal diseases had surpassed pneumonia as the top cause of death among children under 5 in Sub-Saharan Africa: Black R et al. (2010) "Global, regional, and national causes of child mortality in 2008: a systematic analysis", Lancet 2010; 375: 1969–87.

I posted this one another thread, but it fits here better
I would give away half of it and live comfortably and anonymously the rest of my life on the rest. I'd hunt, fish, ride horses, write books, take pictures, travel, and practice random acts of generosity all the days of my life. And die broke.
I would set up funds like Andrew Carnegie the same way he built community centers and libraries and supported local infrastructure learning.

And yes, I think it's possible to do all of these things.
