If you had sudenly acquired Bill Gates's money, what would be the things you would do with it?

With that much money, I'd buy some gifts, then fly to the following places:
Kyoto, Japan
Palmer, Alaska
Valparaiso, Chile
Cleves, Ohio
Sao Paulo, Brazil
King's Lynn, England
Sioux Falls., South Dakota

after that, a new laptop, a house for a particular couple or two, getting my own place, then I would fund research to makes mechs possible. After that, I'd invest some for myself and give the rest to charity. (particularily Cancer)

Now then, let's see what you're all gonna do!

I'd hire a jet to get everyone from here, and a few other places, together. Host the biggest party in the friggun world, that would last forever cause I'd buy them a mansion to live in. And the crazyness would ensue. And they could all live there, and have whatever they want.

Fund my Catgirl and Mech research.

Buy a house, and get everything a certain someone would ever need/want.

Then give out half the remaining money to charities/people I know. And retire and live a life that I would want to.

But as we all know, that ain't gonna happen...for awhile anyways..kekekeke....

I would buy a car, get the hell out of my house and drive to Ohio, buy an apartment there, make sure I had everything I needed, and the person I'm driving to Ohio for (=O), and just use the rest for whatever else I needed when I needed it. And since there'd be lots and lots and lots that I didn't need, I'd also donate it to hospitals or charity, probably both.

I'd use Bill Gates's money to create a bunch of zombies and set them loose upon the world for no reason. Ya know, what everybody does.

Granted it's invested properly so that it reduplicates itself biennialy (oh and I KNOW it is), I'd create my own internationally independent paramilitary operation against the East Asian slave trade so my skills could be put to proper use rather than employed for the loveless organizations they so often are. Then I'd get a quiet home in the mountains above the Shenandoah Valley where I could live in peace with my wife, left alone by the world, having lived a satisfactory life of adventure, and finish writing my books.

The End.

Zaijian,
Tiger

Lemme see......

Use it to go around the world and meet all of my online friends.

Get a laptop so my chats won't have to be interuppted every 20 minutes by my mom.

I'd buy my father a house and get him out of that stupid apartment he's been stuck in ever since my mom divorced him.

Once I am old enough, a car, a nice house, college fund, some charity stuff. Give some to friends when they are in need of it.

Buy myself whatever the crap I want... Yeah...That's about it...

I'd kill X....wait BILL Gates, ha ha ha. I wouldn't want it, with that much money....what's the point of really doing anything? You pretty much lose the feeling of desire, you can buy your way through everything, not to mention being rich turns you into a snobby jackass. Well, those're my thoughts.

Well, when I steal his fortune, I'm going to get a big ol' mansion, with a giant safe-room-thing like DuckTails. Then, I'd party there for the rest of eternity. I'd also buy blankets for homeless people. But mostly parties

I'd open my own arcade up, because there's nothing here for the kids. Im talking all out, i'd buy Donkey Kong, Galaga, and Burger Time, and stack em in there. I'd sell food there too, cause I make a mean burger, and I like to eat junk food when I play games. I'd Set up a jukebox that played updated songs, and game themes. Then whatever I had left i'd buy anything I wanted. Then give to a charity for abused children. Whoa, I need money.

Oh, make sure your place has F-Zero AX. I've been wanting to play that so bad!

Swiftman · « **Reply #10 on:** August 15, 2005, 01:07:51 am »

I would say the Punisher too, but ti's not a kids game, to be honest.... (PLEANTY of violence. One of my fav arcade games)

Lazlo Falconi · « **Reply #11 on:** August 15, 2005, 01:19:05 am »

I had the Punisher NES cart and it was totally awesome!

Jehuty · « **Reply #12 on:** August 15, 2005, 01:29:42 am »

I'd also buy all the videogame companies and make everyone my slaves.

Swiftman · « **Reply #13 on:** August 15, 2005, 01:34:45 am »

OH! Jehuty, if you do that, can i have Origin back from EA? Or Microprose? I know no one else will care for those companies! (and... Maybe Epic Megagames, while you're at it......)

And Lazlo, I mean the Punisher for CPS1. Totally badass and evil. Violence ahoy!

Crystalman · « **Reply #14 on:** August 15, 2005, 01:57:08 am »

I assume your talking about the one with Nick Fury as a second player. Jehuty, if you buy out Nintendo make the SNES popular again! Then add Sonic, and Tails to SSB.
