Pay off personal & national debts until I'd either run out of money or until only the people I didn't like were in debt.

In the event I still had money left over I'd probably build railways and "Metroland" style settlements in the less developed world to help bring them into the modern age with comforts.
Read "A Man For All Seasons". That explains most of what I believe in. Except the Catholic bits.

Outside of here I do lead a rather unusual and colourful life. As a Spinster.

I just want a nice man with a good accent and the manners of a Royal.

British, a really cliché G in LGBTQ gentleman a lot of the time.

Probably attempt to pay off the National Debt(on pane of no more votes on Obamacare, and no more attempts to take down Social Security/Welfare), start a charity, probably buy or start a major sports franchise(thinking possibly a Major League Soccer team in New Orleans, I want some local Soccer), purchase Season Tickets for the Saints and Pelicans, buy a nice house or a condo on the beach, go ahead and get married and take our honeymoon, finish my Warmachine army, start my own brewery, and probably live on the remainder/leave it for any children I might have.

not realistic

I bought Africa to live in, with only a select group of people. Then as protection i would buy the Chinese and Russian armies.
I would also buy the US, as nuclear testing ground, and Israel for a monthly huntingweekend.
And i would buy a few whales, just becouse its possible.

Almost forgot woman... i would import them to.

realistic

I would buy my own island(s) and start my very own dictatorship.

I'd have a massive artificial island built in the middle of the ocean, then have a bunch of cities built on it, declare an independent country, and announce that anyone with an academic degree from a legitimate educational institution can come along with their families, and get $1 billion for each immigrant or immigrant family.

Then, rule as a benevolent dictator. Turn the country into a military and economic powerhouse and pursue a secret nuclear weapons program, which'll stay secret until the first test. Donate generously to labs researching life-extension and anti-aging technology, and rule for centuries.

I'd buy off everyone needed in order to reinstate Snowden's passport. Just for the laughs. Then I'd pay the military to occupy, and informally, nationalize every single dickhead corporation in the country.

I'd more than likely eliminate poverty and hunger in The United States, and pay off the nations debts, then if I still have money left over, I help the rest of the world.

Well... I guess I won't need toilet paper anymore. Or firewood...

But otherwise, I'd probably donate some, and use the rest on myself. Perhaps start a company or something as well, and then save the rest.

Give the U.S. $3 Quadrillion that has to be used to keep the U.S. completely out of debt for as long as possible.

Then pay off the mortgage and both cars. Then donate some to charity. Then set aside $90k per year for basic living expenses, and spend the rest on luxurious items and vacations of all types.

I know what I wouldn't do with $92 quadrillion:

Gravedig dead threads.
Lib-left. Antifascist, antitankie, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist (including the imperialism of non-western countries). Christian (Unitarian Universalist). Background in physics.
Mostly a girl. She or they pronouns, please. Unrepentant transbian.
Reject tradition, embrace modernity.
