Probably fund a series of videogame developers around that would that would make games that I would like to play without worrying to much about profit margins. Also probably a movie studio and a really big house etc. Then probably start to feel guilty and give a couple hundred million to charities etc.

And keep about $200 million so when my company goes bust and I sell it off I can live comfortably for the rest of my life.

I mean I am assuming I didn't have to earn the money or sacrifice something to get it so it's not really a big deal if I blow most of it on stupid ventures.

Make the money from a deserted island then put it in an overseas bank when you move back to the states. Then we can see if movies truly are based on facts!

srry man politic's have gotten to me, and i  think we both know that won't happen.

i'd invest in the global  economy, and begin working on building a global empire called MJ interprises.  

if you want to know wht kind of company you'll have to quote me,


What kind fo company !  I would look at foreign currency exchange since everything is low..er right now. Plus China can only go up for a while I believe. Eventually ...pretty big risk though...Iraqi Dinar should go up as well when they get there oil in place. What do you think about investing in the Asian market? I have USAA insurance and they give you 20 free stock buys when you start up. I own Nintendo already, just waiting for them to go back up. Even if its temporary.

i think i see your business degree in that statment.

it would be and indusrty of businesses like one big contracter. help organizing business that have wholes in there marketing and generaly companies that have bad business practices. and also help smaller companises that want to stay small build on that, or go national without having to expand toother states. i also want to go back to school for game design so that's where i'd to start. a bit ambitious right?

i maynot be able to do all of that but i'd dam sure work at it.

i've always done finance, investents, helped balance bank accounts, wrote plans for people to save money, and even organized small things in small businesses along side giving advice on how to run oporations at every job(even a contractor for P&G)i've ever had.

its all about a common sence approach and if you don't have that you can't possible run a business or keep it running for much longer.

its like Americas a business and the gov. is about to fold cause there not profiting. you can't spend more then you make and then borrow expecting your ass to be coverd by your investors (other contries and tax payers)everytime your back itches.

i'd fire all the global(well maybe 90%)leaders if i had the power.

I am working on my Environmental Management Master's now so Hopefully they will help each other out. If you get a game design degree that should go pretty well with your Business degree.

yea i would likely wait on game design and build the company around game designers, and just focus on the company aspect while continuing to build on that then i'd go for the degree and keep the company at arms length.

Probably try to use it in the stock market and other venues to grow in power, and take over the world financially.



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

Put funding towards space exploration. Depending how many billion I had I might try and either set up a permanent human presence on the moon or to build a space elevator.

Buy millions of Xbox 360's to the point where it overtakes the Wii. Would make for quite a story.

 

Not really though ... would probably transfer a good portion of it into gold so it is safe in case of a currency collapse. Beyond that, I don't think I could really plan it all out unless I was actually put into the situation.

$1B would only buy you 5 million X360's i'm afraid. However if they cut to $150 this holiday you could get 6.25M

Donate to charity and non-profit organizations.

I would also travel to various places such as Japan, LA, New Zealand, Singapore, etc.

I thought we were referring to billions ... like a Bill Gates fortune or something. Either way I would never do it. If it was only 1 billion then I would be in an even greater rush for gold. With inflation a billion may be the new million soon at this rate. I suppose I would still have to do something fun with it first though like complete my video game collection.

Plus with all these gift cards that they give out these days! Just saw a 360 for whatever the price is with a 25 dollar gift card in last Sunday's paper.

Remember that guy in the 90's who tried to buy that Jet plane in the Pepsi commercial. When they recieved it they kindly returned his money or bottle caps or whatever he had? This just reminded me of that.

If you buy all these 360's make sure you buy them in Japan if you can. That would really cause a stir there!

tell me more.. i havent heard this before
