Give half of it to the Catholic churches near me, then divide the other half between my entire family(grandparents, cousins, uncles, etc) and myself since I don't need all that money anyway.

I’d donate to charities and attempt to start an international organization dedicating to improving infrastructures. I’d try to render power plants burning fossil fuels obsolete by building geothermal plants and use that money to help even more people by creating more jobs and creating public education services for people to use. Finally, as an American I’d like to use a portion of my vast wealth to lobby for house and senate to create modern anti-trust laws in order to combat monopolies from having total control over our lives without consequence.

5. Buy some amenities (videogames, pool, etc)
6. Relax for life. (rest is optional)
7. Have Wife and Kids
8. Teach kids not to judge people by their money

Will buy a plot of land for myself build a smart or green home on it.Keep the rest in a high interest GIC investment account and live off the high interest.I’d give as much to charity as I feel like giving.If the charity shows it delivers in it’s promises to helping people in developing countries or the environment,I would be more likely to hand money over to charities. I’ll buy a wife Ukrainian,Russian,or Japanese,who respects the home life and being a good housewife in the home.I’d let her have her own income,and our accounts would be seperate.

A college/university/private school fund account would be started to fund the best education possible for our children.

I would give a few million each to my parents, my in laws, my best friend, and maybe 100k to 5 other people I want to help out, like my teen mom neighbor and my uncle in recovery.

I would stash a significant amount of cash in a go bag in case the need ever arises.

I would also have a bunker built stocked with food, ammunition, and a stockpile of objects that would be valuable in the event of the apocalypse.

I would buy a beach house on the Florida Gulf Coast and an inland property safe from hurricanes and flooding which would also be a commune where my friends could live for free as long as they want.

I would make donations to Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and also to organizations that help people with drug addiction, and I would give regular Patreon donations to my favorite YouTubers

I would buy up ad space on TV and commission commercials to support whatever cause I want to advocate for

Then there's the travelling:

A tour of Hawaii, Fiji, Vanuatu, and other nations with kava and would drink kava with the locals in each location.

A trip to Svalbard in the summer to see the midnight sun

A trip to the Australian Outback to see the Milky Way in a sky free of light pollution

A stoned off my ass Colorado adventure

An Ayahuasca ceremony in South America

Namibia. I've always wanted to go there more than anywhere else in Africa.


I would go the best doctor in the world to fix my receding hairline

I would get beautiful tattoos from a great artist to cover my arms and back

And finally I'd open up a dog shelter and a kennel for people who have nowhere to take their dogs during hurricanes or other hardships

Oh, and I would also hand $500 to any homeless person I encounter asking for money

If i had some 55 billion dollars I’d have more money than I’d know what to do with. I’d probably just buy Stone Mountain, some 50 acres of land on a lake, build a beach home, build my regular home on said lake, buy some boats and fine art, and eventually get married. Oh I also might buy myself a new truck when my current one dies

Uganda’s debt is roughly around 10 billion dollars. Adding in everything else you want to do and you’d probably need around 30 billion

Granted those numbers are from 2017. So they probably have roughly around 12 billion to 15 billion now

I'd donate at least half of it for things for children (education stuff, clothes, food), just things to help them out and make their lives not shit, hopefully inspire them to help people that are less fortunate.

The rest will go to a modest house, restoring classic cars, and hoarding all the books on languages I can find.
