If you were Bill Gates rich what wouuld you do???

Somatic · #1 (**permalink**) May 13, 01

Bill Gates does not know how to spend his money. I would be a hero to all.

First and foremost, the Grizzlies would be back in GM Place complete with a HUGE ass payroll, a la portland TrailBlazers.

The Canucks would have a similar payroll. It would be like '94 all over again, except they would win. They would also play one game a month in the Coliseum. Now every hard core Canucks fan would be in heaven after that one.

The Symphony of Fire would be back in town except 10 countries would particpate in a span of 3 weeks in August.

The Indy would also be back.

The PNE would be restored to it's former glory. Complete with the long since discontinued PNE parade.

I would buy the Woodward's name and re-open the Woodwards on Hastings. The before mentioned street would be restored to it's former glory. The less fortunate would be shuffled back down to Robson.

I would also return to my long since discontinued practice of purchasing all my meat at the butcher shop next door to Woodward's on Hastings.

I would take my cousin shopping every month and buy her some good stuff.

That is all.

I would buy myself a nice Porsche...a nice house (big enough, but not huge...hasta be cozy :051: ), save up for some travelling around the world. Then with the rest of it, I would donate it to charities that I believe in and support, or sponsor children in the third world countries.

I would...

Invest half my money in Canadian dollars
Then I would spend the other half and pay of the entire debt.

That would then triple the canadian dollars I have which would then be worth more then american money.

With the billions I have in Canadain money I would be twice as rich as when I started.

Then I would buy a lot of records.

Yes, a strong Canadian dollar would be great. Good for all our sports teams, but not good for our exports, which consist mainly of natural resources. BC's economy would go down the drain. Weed would have to be legalized, heh heh.

At least the Habs would be a lot better off, consdering all the taxes they pay. Fuckin' Bouchard and his property taxes.

Since they did a study on this topic and found out that it would be nearly impossible to actually spend the INTEREST he makes on his money in one day, trying to figure out how to spend his money is kind of pointless.

But if I were him, I would:

A) Pay off everyone to vote for me and become the President of the United States and then really fuck things up in a global scale.

OR

B) Buy my own country/island and start my own country, currency and stockpile some nukes.

AND

C) Hire the top DJ's from around the world and have a free week long party with FREE water and glowstick! :029:

If you wanted an honest answer, I'd take a big chunk of the money I have and get rid of the famine in Africa, find a cure for AIDS and Cancer and try to figure out what happens after you die.

But who thinks that is actually going to happen in reality?

**kiMMie** · #8 (**permalink**) May 14, 01

Hahaha :026: Winston...You crack me up...You stole some of my ideas --> Presidency, Island, etc

But yeah, that would be fantastic if someone could find a cure for cancer...Unbelievable how you can get cancer from just about anything now :040:

Truthfully, I don't know exactly what I would do with all that money :047: I'd probably *spend spend spend* --> house, car, clothes, parents & family & friends... yadda yadda yadda

Being that "rich" would totally overwhelm me, but I would definitely LOVE it!!!

~lazee_grrl~ · #9 (**permalink**) May 14, 01

hmmmmm...first i'd buy my parents a new house and each their own car and yeah..let them live the rest of their life good, (of course lil sister goes there)..then i buy my other sis's each a place if they wanted a new car...then i'd buy myself a place and a car and of course grab sum friends/family for a shopping spree and of course i'd travel..
donating to charity would be sumthign i'd also do...only to the worthy causes and not the scammer ones where u don't know where the money actually goes....
i'd for sure bring back fireworks and everythign else fun that they are taking away from our boring lil place...
i'd pay off ne debts that i had or family had or people i knew had for them and yeah...
other then this..i'm clueless~

YEAH!!!

my ultimate party venue!!!

complete with sleeping rooms, 2 of them, one for the extremely fucked up nammers, they can have thier own room, and one for the other people who arent' EXTREMELY messed, just somewhere to lie down, with beds and fluffy pillows and chill music

aaaaaah it would be the best freakin venue ever!!! lots of different rooms, a FREE shuttle service that would come right to your house like a taxi, except free!

nice floors for dancing, free water, mmmmm

and with the other money i'd still have, i'd buy lots of stuff for my friends and family, and of course ME!!!!

then i'd get a financial advisor, cuz i am sooo bad with money, and hopefully he'd help me find something 'good' to do (like save the people in africa or whatever) with my money

:029:

BB_YungYung · #12 (**permalink**) May 14, 01

I would first treat my dragon boi out all day! and so him just how much he means to me!

and then put the rest of the money to bank accounts all around the world..
and build a perfect house... for me and my bf to move into..
and invite friends over for little get togethers!

djtrancelate · #13 (**permalink**) May 14, 01

I would buy Microsoft.:026:

Happ-E Junglist · #14 (**permalink**) May 14, 01

Buy Vancouver Island and declare independance, turn the whole thing into a phat party venue where anybody F&K can party until they're like 65 or something, and everything would be free for everyone

wundergirl · #15 (**permalink**) May 14, 01

Well, I would put my friends Kristin and Drew through skewl (along with myself)
then i would buy a big house that either i could live in all by myself OR all my friends could live in too.
i would buy my parents new cars and a house.
i'd buy my grandma a house too. a big one and get her lots of servants to wait on her hand and foot - cuz thats what she deserves.

i would pay off the debts my EX best friend has drank himself into and buy him a car - don't ask cuz i dunno why.

my boyfriend would have his own house. a huge recording studio and all of the equipment he could ever want. then i'd but a major underground label to ensure his success. tee hee.

next i would also construct the ideal party venue. (good idea ladies) and pay for the biggest name djs i could find...like form&kaos :)

the rest of my money would go to charity. getting kids off the streets, finding cures for childhood illnesses and birth defects, and cancer and aids. i would do as much as i could to contribute as much as i could to people who need it and NOT be a greedy bastard.

The question is: would this venue be profitable? Where are you gonna build it?? There is no possible area you could put it without it being waaay out in the boonies.

Juss my $0.02

I really get the sense from you guys and girls that you don't really fathom how much wealth Bill Gates has available.

In response to Dwight's last post, if you had that much money, why would you care if a venue is profitable or not? It couldn't possibly lose enough money that it would make a dent in you bank account.

Instead of sending your friends to university, you could BUY them one and name it after them. You could buy people a car a day for the rest of their lives, one house a month and eat, drink, spend as much as you want and you would still have more money left over than ALL of us would make in our lifetime.

That's pretty disgusting don't you think?

I'm just trying to figure out how to pay for my F-K hoodie! :029:

dragon boi · #18 (**permalink**) May 15, 01

first of all i would buy the bike of BB dreams
then a new ferrari for me
new mansion/ or buy a block of streets (street of dreams)
name the street after BB
get a private jet
little raceway.......
the list goes on and on....

starsprite · #19 (**permalink**) May 16, 01

I would donate lots to the mike cuccione foundation. and also to childrens hospital..

then i would buy myself like thousands of dollars of new clothes...maybe buy off the wall. hehe

and open my own dance studio and dance company for the stars and buy myself a sweet ass car.

and buy a nice big hotel or sumthing for me and my friends to crash at and have big partys in. hehe that would be so kewl!!

and get a personal trainer and maybe a makeup/hair artist

man if only i had that much money....:029:

Yes, it is pretty disgusting.

But with the parties I have in mind........ I can make a dent in a Bill Gates like bank account. I'm pretty creative.

You're not looking at the whole picture here........ at least one of your ventures has to be profitable. It's just good business sense.

You always need something to fall back on.

I would invest in a paid army of peacemakers.. i would have them work to clean up the situation in africa and let the tribes there return to a more organic way of living.

I would cause the world's economies to crumble and have everyone return to a smaller, more communal, tribal way of living. Abolishment of corporations, of consumerism..

i would invent drugs that arentt harmful to my precious brain

i would build me a spaceship

i would make myself king of the world so that i could always ensure that things were peaceful and fair..
