      Hmmmmm. I guess spreading it around would be a good idea. Maybe some mixture of improving state school teacher’s pay, scientific research, and bringing infrastructure (like roads and power lines etc.) to some of the worlds poorer places. Developing clean energy sources. That kinda thing I suppose. Oh cancer cures too. I dunno. If I had any change after all that I might buy some specially modified Bugatti Veyrons and race them on the moon.

      i’d probably invest a lot of it so that i can make even more money in the long run. and then i’d keep some in a really high interest bank account and live off the interest, you’d probably live quite well on that! and then from the returns of my investment, i’d use it to donate to charities that will do some good for humankind and projects (scientific and community projects) that will better our future. money can do a lot of good if it’s in the right hands and i can’t even begin to imagine that i’d know best.
      and if i was to buy something with it, i’d take all my friends and family on an amaaaaaaazing holiday. and then on the way back stop off in paris and london to shop for a brand new wardrobe 🙂
