What would you do if you were a Billionaire????????

Half Rhodesian

If you were like those oil boys that own man city football club, they seem to have no limits at all...

We'd all do the charity, family, friends etc thing, so you can be selfish now and post up what is the one, crazy thing you'd do with your cash? however outrageous it may be... i want to hear it

Personally, i'd try create Jurassic Park!!! I mean how cool would that be?
Mine would be much safer than how the movie one turned out though.
Keep the electric fences of course but all the dinosaurs would be fitted with charges in their heads or near their heart and they could just be exploded if things got of of hand... simples!!!

i'd use one of the Aran islands as the site if i could buy one from the powers that be.
Who's using Inishmaan anyway?

It could be totally renovated and spruced up a bit for visitors. Say, throw a few billion at it and it would be grand. Hotels, water parks, theme parks etc when people got tired of looking at the dino's all day (like that would happen anyway) they could enjoy all that kind of stuff.

Even though the oldest dino embryo found has even ruled this completely out of the question now, it would sure still be fun throwing a wad of cash at it trying to prove em wrong..

Think id mostly only bring back the herbivores for safety reasons, although it would be pretty hard to resist the temptation of seeing a T-Rex stomp around the place if that was a possibility.

Maybe a couple of velociraptors as well.
wouldnt want to go to over the top like

Hookers and coke


..and I like your Jurassic Park idea though

Aint Eazy Being Cheezy

Give it nearly all away, and just keep a million for myself.

Get my secretary's secretary to do my boards.ie work for me

willy wonka's chocolate factory!!!!

Sir Arthur Daley

I would buy up as much property as i could.

The_Valeyard

Buy an Island, make myself dictator. Wear a stylish military uniform and beard.

Balmed Out

All friends and of course family would be multi millionaires except one. Then we'd all laud it over him.

Harry Palmr

Buy a city and turn in it a tax free gambling, F1 and posh sex resort (I'd have to shell out for a very big roof as well of course).

I'm not greedy but as long as I've got my health, my millions of dollars, my gold house, and my rocket car; I don't need anything else.

Sound of Silence

Go to a small and impoverished African Nation and establish a real version of the Hunger Games and broadcast it around the World.

Oh, also change my name to "Literally Hitler".

Clankatron

I'd buy hamburgers and lots of stuff!

InReality

I would have all of the sex.

Duggy747

Develop technology to bring Freddie Mercury back to life.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1

As I already have close to a million available to me and have all I want out of life, I'd probably just give it away or not bother making it in the first place. There's only so much material wealth you need: beyond that it's a waste.

Cantremember

The bucket list would become the supertanker list.

No Cheeseburgers?

Karl Stein

I'd adopt an orphaned Elephant and create an enormous park for him/her. When fully grown s/he could lift me onto her back and we'd go wandering around picking fruit from the trees and getting into all sorts of adventures.

auldgranny

I would buy a motorised wheelchsir.
Not cos I need it but cos I am a lazy cow.

Arthur Beesley

Start saving to become a trillionaire again.

Starscream25

I'd buy an island out in the Caribbean and maybe every other region of the world have all islands equipped to deal with any doomsday scenarios, aswell as being equipped with all the comforts known to man.
invest in tesla motors.
Establish a company with the sole purpose of inventing hoverboards?hire the best and brightest to achieve this goal.
A Jurassic park would be hard to top alright tho, that would be unreal.

faceman

I'd spend it all on a one of kind monumental effigy visible from space for the woman I love as a constant reminder to the world that I love her and she should really return my calls.

What's she doing in space? Trying to get away from you?

frag420

I would buy a million euro quick pick for the euro millions!!

I would also build a wave park in my garden so I don't have to walk far for a surf........

And then I would build a wall around Dublin............and pump cement into it. Only after buying share in a cement company though!!

grols

I would like to buy my favorite football club Milan and brought to its crisis))

Great Scott! Of course cheeseburgers too! Have you lost your mind?!

I'd have a vast empty house that I'd need a segueway to get around, and a waterslide from my bedroom to the pool because I'm too lazy to walk downstairs or even out of the room. I'd have a fleet of monkey butlers and a staff of dozens to clean up the monkey butler crap.

And I'd have a private jet, but not piloted by a monkey butler.

Or I'd steal the elephant idea.

The Backwards Man

I'd buy an Apache attack helicopter.

I'd gan back to school. But first I'd take out the labs and then I'd type into the attack computer 'Mr Cragg, chemistry teacher'. Blow 'im to bits.

And then I'd go looking for Tom Donaldson. I'd be hovering just down the road from his house, there. And he'd see us, but I'd duck down behind the trees, and he thinks he's safe, right? And he's just about to put the key in his front door, and I come up from behind the hedge, 'Hello, you bastard.' He panics, right? And he goes in the house, so I get the 30-millimetre canon and I take out the fish pond, coy carp in there couple of rounds each, right? And then I just tilt the helicopter over to one side and the machine-gun bullets is chewing up the drive, right? He comes out. 'Oh no! Not me Triumph Stag! I've just had it resprayed!' I cut it right in half, right? And then he goes, 'Ahhh!' He runs up on to the garage roof. I say, 'Right. This is for you, Tom.' He goes, 'No, no!' He's begging us, he's begging us man, 'No, please don't!' And then I fly off to Cornwall and I just smash in the sea in a big ball of flames.

Legit, I'd pump an absolute ton of money into being a bit of a patron type figure in the same kind of way Larry Ellison's daughter is with her funding of Paul Thomas Anderson films and the like. Probably be a bit more esoteric about it though asides from where it's essential (e.g. I'd say Terrence Malick's just about blown all of the goodwill he's earned in the industry again at this stage); would also cover videogames, comics, theatre...

Book Garth Brooks to do a gig in my back garden on the day of what would have been his first Croke Park gig... spend the whole thing throwing tomatoes at him

Probably blow a ton on some gigantic vanity projects too, a film all about me, an album with a heap of great collaborators, my voice autotuned to f*ck and a huge marketing campaign behind it ...just be a real weird rich bastard.

Oh, and I'd pump a ton of money into the local soccer team at home, just to stick it to all the GAA-heads at home.

Wompa1

Start my own charitable foundation and actually know what I'm doing with the money rather than trusting others to do the right thing.

I'd also keep enough to be able to make choices and have security

Hotfail.com

I'd buy Manchester United and then just ruin them for the craic.

Pumpkinseeds

A billionaire? Meh, it wouldn't be enough for world domination:(

Quazzie

I'd have my own life size game of Sims.

Tail Docker

I'd take over your water supply and start charging ye for it. And your hospitals.. and the esb... and the gas..and the filling stations....I'd own ye after a bit....not like that Denis O'Brien lad, he's way too soft...

GT_TDI_150

Buy Newcastle United.

Buy lots of cars.

Buy carribean pad.

Buy boat, jet, etc...

Buy 2 islands and send letters to everyone with 50+ convictions inviting them to an event that would grant the winner more tracksuits than they can count. They will be split into 2 groups. The first island is a battle royal/ hunger games style event and the second would be a new society where they all have to work together while I give some of them tasks to sabotage the society.

Ah, simple question. I would buy a remote Caribbean-type island, equip it properly, buy a yacht and make sure I am never going to hear from the society ever again.

Ruu

Two chicks at the same time, man!

Manach

Hire someone to post on boards for me, like JK Rowling.

diomed

Sit down and beg outside the local shopping centre. When people blank me I'd swear at them. If they got stroppy I'd have my minder discuss the situation with them.
That, or buy a few racehorses.

CarrickMcJoe

I'd be cautious, think i'd get advice from Sean Quinn first.:D

Agent Coulson

Treat myself to a Burger King instead of a McDonalds.

RayM

I'd probably consider signing off the dole.

Duff

I'd buy a few packs of Oreos, some milk, vanilla ice-cream and a blender and then make Oreo milkshakes.

Specialun

I would pay wayne rooney to wipe my bum..after 15 pints of stout

Flincher

Turn the Luas into a rollercoaster. Few corkscrews, loops and ****. Just to brighten up the commute.

--LOS--

If I had that kind of money in my hands, I would pay some people back, but then I would put everything towards helping animals with the help of organisations/people that have proven their effectiveness. It's a huge gripe when I see very wealthy individuals donating to terrible organisations that do nothing or very little or donating to something when their own work completely contradicts their good intentions. I have very little interest in personal gain, but donating to charity is meaningless unless you can see that they're getting the best use out of that money.

That's my miss world answer and also my real answer!

Garzard

Posted this before a few times:

Purchase a large open spot of land just outside Dublin and convert it into a massive airsoft site, with influence taken from a few Battlefield & CoD maps. Cheap entry + access to everywhere inside. In it there'd be an urban area with dummy estates, streets, high rises, an army barracks, a shopping centre, power station / refinery... everything a typical town or city would have. Also give it a large forested area loaded with trenches, pillboxes, old tanks, airsoft machine gun / artillery emplacements, a small airfield map full of retired and destroyed planes and accessible ATC tower, a dark underground area, and finally if there was enough room, a massive open area to replicate Kursk with trenches, [plastic] barbed wire, machine gun posts, tank traps, dug in tanks, and a minefield full of airsoft mines.

To add realism there'd be fires, smoke screens, old army vehicles and burnt out cars everywhere, especially in the town and Kursk areas. (These could be sourced easily & cheaply from both military and civvie scrapyards) Basically what a war ravaged city and country would look like. Then throw in a few hundred / thousand players, organise them into teams, let them do what they want or give objectives and it would be good to go. Think something like this would be great fun and would attract worldwide airsoft attention, countless tourist players and massive revenue!

Shaun Plays Games

I'd buy unlimited kinder eggs...
