I'd take my mother out to dinner.

If she wanted French food, we'd go to Paris. If she was in the mood for Chinese...

So I'd get an MLB team ...Then I'd buy so many players, people would start calling Steinbrenner...cheap.

[/ QUOTE ]

Steinbrenner spends $200M+ per year on players. You'd spend $300M? After three years, one of your ten B will be gone. You'll see that you're on the path to ruin, and you'll bail. You'll have the greatest fire sale in sports history.

IOW, you'll be Wayne Huizenger.

[/ QUOTE ]
This may come as a shock, but Steinbrenner makes money.

I'd also build my own hockey complex and run my own leagues so I don't have to play in the ones run by the incompetent idiots around here.

I would buy an NHL team and buy Nike also.

Some nice houses, put Jay Leno's car collection to shame.

Play Michael Jordan for $1 Mil a hole in golf.

Play 100/200 NL like it was play money.

Lots of fun.

[/ QUOTE ]you would run out of money before you could do all that. nike is worth more than 10 billion itself

If my family was lucky, i would get them a stipend of 10,000$ per year, I wouldnt want to spoil them.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is an important consideration. When dealing with large sums of money like this, your utility is probably exactly the same whether you keep it all for yourself or split it between 20 of your closest friends and family members, but why spoil so many people? That's just irresponsible. Keep the money to yourself.

are you serious or not? My internet sarcasm meter is not very good, if you arent, nh, if you are, I hope you get hit by a bus.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, not serious, although I'd probably be considerably more of a greedy prick than the average person if I ever come across billions.
