Let's say for example, you found a way to replace oil with a natural source and had unlimited funds. What would you do?

1. I'd get a massve house, best pc gaming system and anti virus system, a kitchen filled with hot pockets, pizzas

2.  When I'm drinking red bull, I suppose donate to chairtys to get my face in the paper

1.) Seize control of the United Nations via "campaign contributions"

2.) Build a huge estate on a private island that I will probably never get to spend any time at

3.) Build a golden statue of myself

4.) Start my own nation, with myself as the ruling monarch. Constitutions are for the weak.

5.) Use my Army to colonialize several backwater third world nations

6.) Build a university that makes Harvard look like a poor house

7.) Begin to diversify, taking major holds in other vital industries

8.) Occasionally "play god" with people's livelihoods

9.) Start my own extremely high-end car company

10.) Colonize Uranus

11.) Colonize Pluto and make it a planet again

12.) Enact a cult of personality of myself

13.) Marry several different absolutely gorgeous women with about a 7-10 year spread in between them, with the oldest being about my age, and have me lots of babies.. Gotta have an heir!

14.) Win the Nobel Prize and use it to wipe my backside

15.) Get assassinated in my mid to late 50's by a member of the Rockefeller family

I would invest everything in research to develop the first replicator.

All I need is a house in the mountains on a lake and the rest of my time would be spent finding little unknown charities to give my money to except for St Jude's.They will be very happy.

I just like to point out oil is a natural resource.     ;)

Focus on college, tutors
Maybe a new, nice car.
Maybe plan a trip to travel around the world, although doesn't sound good to do alone. So maybe for later.
The rest would go in the bank.

If I could just go to college full time without having to work, so I didn't have to worry about bills for my apartment, food, etc, while being able to hire some tutors, I'd be happy.

I like your style. B)


I would replicate the Truman Show for my own amusement.

I would also genetically create mini-tigers for pets.

I would make my own private highway system that I would travel 200 MPH and never share with anyone EVER.

I would find cures for all known disease and keep the formulas for myself and friends.

I would buy Canada.

I would buy Bioware and Bethesda and force them to make games tailor-made for my enjoyment.

I would engineer a virus that killed every guy on earth but me and go to every chick who said she would only date me if I was the last guy on Earth.

I would pay Morgan Freeman to follow me around, narrating my whole day.

I would invade Poland.

I think we can all agree that the first thing to do would be to clone a dinosaur.

...I totally read the thread title as "If you were rich...WHO would you do?".

My entire lecture on relationships being based on more than monetary gain is now irrelevant. Shame on you.

Give it to charity and move to the highlands of PNG to teach english. Or finish paying for University and set myself up etc

The second seems far more likely but I wish I had the fortitiude to do the former.

Travel the world, which I'll hopefully start doing in a couple years. Sudden money would help things, though.

1) Send some money to my mum and perhaps my dad. Not my brothers, they have enough to brag about already.
2) Build a nice house with a huge yard so I can get some cats and have them move around outside without any constraints.
3) Donate money to animal and nature charities.
4) Work at an animal shelter for free or something.
5) Buy some minor stuff like maybe a newer car, better computer, bigger TV etc.
6) Perhaps I might visit Canada. I have some relatives there, would be interesting to see who they are and how they live up there.

I'd fund space exploration and research into a few diseases and stuff, probably. I'm comfortable with relatively Spartan living, so I can't imagine not living modestly. I'm concerned with how little money and care the developed world puts into furthering humanity, so I'd like to think I'd pick up some of the slack.

That said I'd probably somehow end up going insane and rent a limo and throw money and people and scream "GOATS! GOATS! I AM A GOAT! I AM QUEEN OF ALL THE GOATS, EVER!" as I pelted random passersby with money. Rich and eccentric seem to go together.

This. My younger older brother keeps giving me **** about getting employed and how much money I make and yada yada yada and I simply do not get that. I can pay our rent, I can buy our food, I can upkeep my car and maybe even buy a few items of luxury like clothing, make-up, games and movies every now and then without ever having to check if I have money on my bank account.

If I suddenly won the lottery, the first thing on my mind would be to give money for others who need it, especially my mum. Getting a newer car and a bigger apartment, maybe even a house would be rational moves after that but....then what? I would propably sit there, on my ass, with all my money...and then go completely bonkers.

Build a nice house for my parents, then study for fun for a few more years before starting my own family.

Only poor people are crazy.  Rich people are merely eccentric.

I, for one, welcome our new goat overlords.

Pay off the world's debt and then pool resources into research of science & space expansion. Then merge all my research into one overarching fundamental science (problem with most scientists today is that they view each science as a seperate entity when they are all fundamentally connected).

"UNLIMITED" funds?

Wow... well. Buy myself an Island on the Atlantic, Pacific or Mediterranean, with a big big huge non-volcanic hill. Build my home at a certain elevation with vista facing the sunset. Buy a Yacht, a Citroen DS3 and live my life well.


And yes, I said Citroen DS3, not Ferrari, Chevrolet, Mercedes or whatever else you may come up with. DS3 beats them all for me.

EDIT : And buy ACR Messina :D

Do what I'm doing now, but without working and a much better apartment.

And naturally donate money. For Science.

stop work for money,
spend my time only with studies, read, write,
may be again be a student at some institutes,
may be bring a promotion to the end,
buy and restorate an old house for my books and collections and with a small garden

I would only donate for small projects I know very very well (and there are some)
live in privacy like we live now
