Then buy a brand new Aston Martin [Insert any good model here.]Cmwissy said:
Buy a large, quality house.
Buy really expensive clothes.
Buy a British-made pistol and British-made rifle.
Buy ammo for mentioned guns.
Try to buy my driving license.
Get everyone I know really awesome Christmas presents, that they've always wanted.
Pay someone to hack a certain someone's account so I can do.... stuff to it.
I could go on for awhile.
First, I'd move. I'd buy myself a nice apartment in the States, get a joe job, then live out the rest of life normally and keep the rest of the money under my mattress.
Think it's odd? I'd install some kickass high-tech security system for my apartment to keep me safe. That'd probably leave me with, like, $2 billion left over.

I'd spend it, probably.
You want to know how? I would buy a nice house, a few nice cars and invite a few friends to come live with me. I'd then live like I do now only more extravagantly. Buy nice things that I'd think are too expensive.

Never work again, buy a lot of games, a really good computer, every kind of console ever made, a bid HD tv, a big mansion with a really fast and reliable internet connection and hire a butler.
Alternatively I could take over the world, unfortunately there are still people with more money who might work against me, wheter it is to prevent an almighty dictator like me to rise or to rise themselves as one.

Why? can't they go through Normandy or Spain? I'd prefer them not going through Belgium, that's where I live. Unless of course if I were leading the invasion.Superbeast said:
Build a floating island the size of two football fields, a house on the island with internet via satellite that is solar and/or wind powered, a boat and jet-ski to get to the coastal cities for whatever, and a few weapons in case of pirates. Whatever is left will be put away in a bank to keep the money rolling in.
EDIT: This or a flying island held up by two or more blimps. The only thing that puzzles me is how one would get to ground level without a heli or plane. Maybe some sort of elevator system? A rope ladder?

Ok, £4 Billion it is then...
Half a billion to charities as well with about a quarter of that amount going towards scientific research into genetic's and space technology.
Half a billion to be divided between my family and closest friends
1 billion for kept in the bank for investment in the market
2 billion to spend on myself.
I would spend them 2 billion pounds on
-My own custom made luxury castle. I would probably build it in a rural area in England, but in convient acesses of a nearby city. It would come with a racing course, a selection of racing car's including but not only, the Porche 911, Bugatti Veyron and the Ford GT. I would also buy an offroad course and buy a T-34, Sherman Tank, Leopard tank, and a Centurion. A shooting range where i would have a wide collection of guns. (Lee-Enfield rifle, Moslin-Nagant, M16, AK 47, Barrat .50, mp40, Thompson sub-machine gun, MG42 and Bren machine gun)
I would probably spend most of my time writing novel's, travelling around the world, and messing about on my estate.

I'd say that that's a good investment. I'd start a mid-sized Aerospace company that deals with Government contracts, and advanced technology research (such as powered armor) and more efficient ways of getting into space (rocket fuel is quite expensive)... You all should set aside a few million to invest in my company...Danzaivar said:
Save most of it. Give some of it away and spend a tiny bit on it. I'd use it to invest in my future.
I would put 1bn aside for my friends, hire a hitman on my dad, buy an enormous house, get a private tutor, get a house custom made, not OTT, just one made for me, (the best internet connection I could get and the best home cinema system too, all consoles and a great gaming pc ect. Put anything left in the bank, after going to japan.
Well, I guess that takes care of that whole employment part of my life.
Settle down, raise a family, develop games in my free time, and wait for death. Because apparently that's what being a human being means, as far as the powers that be are concerned, and I really hate to rock the boat of creation too profoundly on the grounds that whatever alternative I come up with is probably worse.
Oh, sorry, you probably wanted something ridiculous or fantastic. I'd invest my 4 billion dollars in a massive hate campaign against the kind of ignorance that enables typical media exploitation such as boy bands or Fox News. I'd probably run out of money before I remove so much as 1% of the infection. Perhaps I should have developed a WMD, instead?

Buy a Honda Accord coupe. With the V6; I think I can splurge that much for the luxury of a larger engine. Buy a modest house, a nice computer, nice furniture. Take care of all my family and friends who have assorted health problems.
And then leverage the rest into assorted investments until such time I can build my own global plutocracy. It's not being greedy; I'm just achieving world peace in my own way. (It'll never happen, because there are already greedy bastards out there that would be richer than lil' ole me and who would rather keep the world fighting against itself.)

I'm pretty sure that's requisite, actually.GrinningManiac said:I'm all for the France invasion, but only if I can do this:
OT: I'd buy a lifetime supply of food and do jack shit. Pretty much just spend my whole life meditating. I would completely be down with that.
