    Been thinking about this more.

    I'd build a couple of data centers and host Hexus and a bunch of other sites without charge. Probably set up a charitable organisation with a good chunk of it too.

    Might even think about going back to Uni and actually getting a degree this time, at least then i'd be doing it because i wanted to and not because i felt i had to.

    How about buying 'The World' - a set of islands being created off the Dubai coastline in the United Arab Emirates. Details here:

    If I had a billion big ones I would buy 'The World' and dish out one country per Hexite. Bagsy owning Australia!

    £1billion (US billion) is £1,000,000,000, at 4% in a bank, thats £40,000,000 a year. Or about £770,000/week. Enough I feel.
    People @ HEXUS seem to be really big on banks. While the world economy seems to be very stable and banks are generally a good idea, have you ever heard the phrase "don't put all of your eggs in one basket?" what happens if your currency suddenly loses half of it's value in the world currency market (just as an example, consider that the US dollar lost about 35% of it's value compared to the Euro since the Euro's inception). If you had that much money, it would be wise to diversify your assets so that a loss in one portion can be countered with a gain in another. I'm pretty fond of securities, although I'm a little chicken to put a significant portion of my assets in securities.I currently have about 20% in securities, 60% in a bank (I have to buy another car sometime within a year), and another 20% in money market.

    Damn, I just hijacked this thread with grown-up talk.

    Oh yeah that was just an example for people just to see how much money you would have...in theory.
    Hence the made up 4%...
    I would probably invest in property and things as well.
    Or hire a financial team to tell me what to do with it. Set up trust funds and things as well.
    Im no expert, but putting it all in one bank account does look like a bad idea.
