    Hunting and shooting on a range... I have wanted to buy small forest but assuming I had already bought few large ones, taking care of those.

    And would pay for professional contruction workers to finish building our shooting range. Thats hard work after the day job with not that many volunteers around.

    I would save a reasonable big amount of that for the education, living expenses and some luxury for my two daughters, just so they can be, do or get whatever they want. I cannot "buy into the future", so I have to save for that.

    Then I would donate a big amount into research for different sicknesses like multiple sclerosis, cancer and other conditions which still can't be cured completely or the treatment is still too risky. That includes buying or building some pharma company so if a treatment is found, the company can produce the meds in sufficient amounts and give them out for a price only to cover the costs of said company, so it can continue to produce what all people possibly may need.

    Then I would save another big amount for future tech and stuff, because I may have bought everything available NOW, but what's about the tech (or other stuff) coming out next year or the next decade? I want to be prepared for that.

    Then I would donate a big amount of that to shelters for the homeless by going into each one and giving the money into the hands of the homeless people, instead of transfering it to the bank account of the shelters. Otherwise I fear nothing of the money will end where it was intended.

    Sometimes I may give some beggar / homeless one million or two. It's still FAR less than 0,001% of what I have, so anyway.

    That's all I can think of right now. But I am sure I will find more if needed. :D

    Now ... may I get the money you spoke of? :D

    If I had $1 billion, I would keep only 10 mil and donate the rest. Have a feeling that a billion would make me feel pretty jaded quickly, that there will be no more challenges left for me to aspire to. Kind of like playing a game in god mode, where the initial minute or two may be fun then the fun quickly begins to wear out.

    Rather than donating, you could establish businesses and employ people.

    You're missing a cat here.
    Face obscured, stroking cat on lap ;)

    edit: Hey, maybe in another 54 minutes we can get you crowd-funded if everyone chips in :)

    (Late saturday night beers watching rogue one, sorry.)
