Thread Name: BS: If you were a Billionaire
Subject: RE: BS: If you were a Billionaire
I would have great pleasure going around the place awarding donations to who, what and where I wanted to help. I would fund a centre for females escaping violence (but also give money to charity offering the same for men). I would try and buy copyrights of various things, the proceeds of which could then go on and fund more projects (much like the Riccordi Brothers still fund Verdi's charities from the proceeds of his music). Maybe a home for retired folk singers?

With that kind of money the fun and selfish pleasure one could have redistributing it to those more in need would be immnse. It goes without say I would make sure my family were sorted for life too and anyone that ever did anything for me in my life would get it back 100 fold.

What a great life it would be finding new ways to spend the interest and spread some happiness.

PS... yes, I know money does not cause happiness but it can relieve a whole load of pain for many
