You are the richest person on earth
When you were only 20 you invented a pill that cures all headaches instantaneously.
Now you are 24 and ready to retire. How do you spend your money? Charity? hedonism? Charitable hedonism?
I would build a lot of cool buildings - with fountains and stuff. Then I would offer discounts to cool people to live there, like artists and whatnot. And I would build a gigantic pipeline out to some place where there was clean air and then I would suck it in so my buildings had fresh clean air. And then I would hire security people to walk around and if anybody made an obnoxious smell they would be fined. For example if anybody lit up a cigarette, if it was cheap ghetto tobacco they would get a fine of 500 dollars, but if it was a quality Cuban blend or something then it would only be about 10 dollars. Or if someone farted, depending on how bad the smell was they would get a fine of 25, 100, or 300 dollars.
How about you? What would you do if you were the richest person on earth?

I will just invest a fair share of my riches and live my life like a normal human being.

I'd do the happy dance I guess.
And then indulge in earthly delights for all eternity.

I would have gotten a science team together find out a way to induce my human consciousness into a computer so I could live forever. And then probably get out every once in a while, in some hunk of a body.

go on flights off the island for dinner or shopping.

Well the first thing I would obvously do is get a nice big (but not too big) place for myself with a robot assistant and a butler like Alfred. I would also make sure my parents and sister were all set with their lives. Pay off my dad's truck, get them a bigger place, get my sister a Mustang because she has always drooled over that car.
I would get myself a Ford Thunderbird because I LOVE that car.
Hmmmmmm, I guess if I had that stuff I would be set. I guess I could always help the poor or some crap like that.

They don't call you Mr. NiceGuy for nothing...
This sounds like a great James Bond plot BTW.

Cash in 250 grand at Alcor to ensure my cryo freezing, invest a bit more in Alcor for when I get unfrozen (I figure if Alcor goes bankrupt before then I'm ****ed anyway)
I'd then buy a monkey
possibly a gorilla
why? I dno, why not?

Walk into the Brisbane casino and give each dishpig who has lasted more than 12 months $100,000.
I would plough a tremendous amount of money into research to allow us to teleport.
Use power and money to replace non-renewable energy sources with renewable ones
Buy an island in the pacific and fill it with positive fun people who like playing boardgames . {I'd live here too } Start a school there.
Install broadband internet access into all remote Australian towns.
Buy this boat.
Prolly some other stuff too

I'd use at least 10 billion dollars protecting nature and animals, helping the poor etc.
I'd have like 50 (at least) castles and mansions all around the world and several private planes, helicopters, cars.
Give lots of money to my relatives and friends.
I'd spend billions on making my country (Latvia) a better place.
etc. etc. etc.

id probably donate about half my fortune to various medical research facilities (but not homeless, cause then it would be very appealing to be homeless)
The rest id spend living in some big apratment building with lots of people playing computer games together. If we played MMORPGS id tell them to send me a flattering messege every time i log on and kick them out of the building if they dont
EDIT: would probably spend a lot developing an ultimate game too

I would probably go back and buy all the olden synthesizers....no, not the new ones, only because I like the sound with the older ones, and I guess it is more of a nostalgic feel to them as well.
I could imagine me owning a Moog or even an Arp2600, or perhaps a PE Polyrythmic Sequencer used by Tangerine Dream in the Poland Concert, or I could get a Mellotron.
And with the rest of the money, I would probably buy the best computer in the world, with the fastest internet, and I would buy myself a nice big house, near my family.
