What would you do with the other half?
Half? You only need a single weapon and they'll swiftly surrender. (I like the comments in this thread so far on this topic!)

My response is I'd give three billion to an organisation of my creation to sort out the worst parts of Africa. I'm talking infrastructure, homes, water.

The rest is for me!

Keep a part of it for myself and the rest to build an army and eventually take over the world.

Umm, well a trip to the local Bakery and the Chip Shop are a must...but that leaves you $3,999,999,985 left...

I'd probably blow some of it on select items...then build the ultimate Man-Cave...then some goes to charity...some goes to familly...and the rest gets invested somewhere...

$4 billion... Well, guns, for one. I'd put almost all of it in the bank, saving several million (or hundred million) for use to buy various weapons and vehicles. A top of the line yacht (edit: just searched for yacht, and a top of the line one is over 500 mil. So less than top of the line), and the entire Zombie Tools weapon section. I'd save the rest for when I'm older and have a family and actually need the money for things. I'd also probably give a little to a charity, some for my family.

I would buy myself a small country. Seriously. And with the three billion leftover I would try to make something of it. Or at least live peacefully on my Pacific Ocean island paradise. Maybe set it up so it can be used as a tax haven and rake in billions.

I might slowly go crazy due to fear for my life and my crown. I would then spent the last stretch of my life holed up in my impenetrable bunker.

I'd build a huge domed vault with a swimming pool in it, convert what's left of the money into gold coins, fill the pool with the said coins, and cannonball into it. =D

I think I would put a billion away for later, when I get old and feel like settling down in my modest 4 story house with solid-gold toilets.

The other three billion would be used to travel around the world. Years spent seeing, experiencing, living and laughing at other cultures. I suppose after that I'd set my friends and family up for life with houses and enough money to keep them sustained for years to come, because I'm a nice guy that way. Other than that, I can't think of much to do with it. I'd buy shit, have shit made in my honor, take a shit, give a shit, have books written about the shit I have done (with pictures), etc. etc.

Really, I don't think there's much to wealth. I'm not really an excessive kind of guy... Though I would like to have a giant scene made re-enacting the cover of Captain America #1, where I would be punching Hitler in the face. Who wouldn't want that?!

I'd buy everyone I could a baby kitten or puppy of their choice, but just to be a bastard, insert an explosive chip into their colors that explode once they hit 6 months old.

I'd then masturbate using money as napkins, then I'd go to Africa and donate said money to AIDS research.

I'd pay to have Obama or any other PoS politician available at that time mow my lawn (i'd make sure to buy me a very large house with massive lawn) using nothing but a push-mower.

Buy off any and all reality TV shows I can, fill every one of them with mass murderers but still stuck in their individual shows, A serial killer in a modeling show? please! Either they embarrass themselves immensely at least being punished a little bit, or they slit the throats of those insufferable judges they must by freaking law have.

Sorry kinda emphasized that last one a bit to much, last but not least I'd pay to get me a castle in the middle of the most poverty stricken place in world (not sure where yet) have a buffet table constantly being stocked circling the entirety of my house, but not before I build me a 10 ft wide 20 ft deep moat with bio-engineered sharks who are on fire guarding it.

Oh! I'd pay Chuck Norris to patrol the buffet line just in case someone where to get past the sharks.

Buy a shitty little run down shack in the middle of nowhere, then build a gigantic basement under it with thick steel and concrete walls. I would then buy and constantly upgrade the most powerful computer known to man, all the programming books I could find, copious amounts of software and spend my life mastering the art of making games(if programming alone becomes too lonely or tiresome, I'll just pay people to work with me), downloading crap off steam and playing video games in my little basement....And if a nuclear holocaust ever happened I wouldn't even notice it so it's all good.

----OR----
Buy a normal little house, lie to all my friends and family about having any money at all, get a woman, have kids and never have to worry financially while still holding a steady job and stuff so I don't become a bum....

Either way I wouldn't live extravagantly, I find people with all that crap must be compensating for something. So whether I be alone in a basement hidden to the world or in a normal house in your conformist little world. I believe I've answered this post a bit longwindedly so I shall end it now by saying. I wouldn't invade france, but I wouldn't not donate to the cause.

It would make destruction both efficient and awesome, I'm sold i'm sure I can set it loose in Japan somewhere just to be ironic.

I'd buy everything I ever wanted to buy ever. With the remaining 3.95 billion, I have no freaking clue.

I would, buy a nice plot of land, say about 500 hecters, and become a farmer, yes a farmer, get up at the crack of dawn each day and look out onto my land see what I have done, and when harvests time commes around, there would be a big feast, and I could tast the fruits of my labour.

The wheat would be turned into flour, and I would make bread in my house, along with aple and pumpkin pie, the seasons, would turn and the smells would change, winter would come and i would be working on building things like chairs and benches, in my workshop.

Ahhhh, so rewarding.

Thats what I would do with 4 Billion, a nice farmstead, with a huge farm :)

I'd run the BBC for a year!

Seriously, that is how much it cost for them to run 4 channels... two of which are turned off for most of the day.

Third time lucky and all that. Plus I'd love the irony.
It's the last thing they would expect!

Whelp, Uni fees are no longer a problem.
:D

Umm... Buy some reeeally nice stuff for my friends.
(My original friends - not the randoms who come up to me on the street and try to scab something off me by claiming to have always been my friends. :p )

Throw at least half a billion to a worthy charity...

Umm...
Get myself a Lamborghini (Late model Diablo, or a Gallardo :D ).

Ugh... I'm finding it really hard to not say "put it in the bank", because after the charity, paying for Uni, and buying things for my friends, that's probably what I'd do with the rest of it...

But since I have to say something else?
Buy myself an F-14 Tomcat.
Or, possibly, a B-2 Stealth Bomber (approx. 1.5 Billion American, I think?).
That oughta do it. :D

Buy an island...no... several islands. Make lots of health organisations and charities.

I dont know... it's too much to think about.


Buy an Ocelot... that'd be a day one purchase.
