I’d use 10 million to retire with, 10 million for gifts/philanthropy, and the rest for schizophrenia research.

I want to test holistic treatments like good diet and ionic water on people, with double-blind studies.

I would give 10% of it away to charity right off the bat. The rest I would put in investments and savings. I would probably buy more rental property.

First I would want to pay back to those whom I owed some gratitude in the past. Thus, I would probably:

  1. Give a bunch of money to my parents.
  2. Make a list of people who have done me favors in the past, and try to return those favors at cash value.

The rest of 1 billion dollars would only go so far in the world. So, if I had, say, 900 million left, I would probably spend a few million on mentors, consultants, and tutors to help me gather wisdom on how to best use the rest.

I would probably set a time limit on this thinking phase, and then go from there. Maybe I could end up learning how to use the money to generate even more business, and use the profits philanthropically, a little like Bill Gates.

But, in all of this, I would try to make a very small political footprint, if any. I’m under no delusion that money and political power are the same thing. I would try to not interfere.

I would offer the entire amount as a prize to anyone who can find a cost effective way to desalinate sea water. By “cost effective” I mean competitive with the watershed in temperate climates. Then I would get drunk.

Not much different. Buy a house. Retire. Invest my money in a project of mine. Rogueones Site of Tasteful Nudes. Basically black and white and colored nude pictures of myself in various poses where I’m hiding my junk. The money I make off of that will pay for the photographer on staff.
