I thought this would be a fun and mentally healthy question to ponder! I feel better already just to think of this possibility!
For me, before giving away alot of it to charities I would first buy a couple of gorgeous houses strategically set in beautiful surroundings where I could travel throughout the year and avoid harsh winter temperatures. Eternal Spring would be mine!
That attained I would attend lovely symphonies all over the world and wear wonderful tailor made clothes and eat at the finest restaurants in every continent.
Ok now for the big give away!!!!
What would you do?????

I'd start by making sure my crew was all taken care of. That includes all of you. Then, off to save the world from hunger and poverty.

I'd probably blow it all helping the down and out, or just doing something nice for people I can plainly see deserve something nice done for them. Am I blowing my own horn? Not really. It's surely a path of self-destruction.

i would donate huge amounts of money to SENS and the methuselah foundation. i would use my leverage to ensure that the technology developed remained opensource, public and accesible to rich and poor.

i would also support UN and other educational initiatives for africa. i would leverage my power to ensure the job gets done.
i would buy my own piece of land, close to the top of a watershed. i would build my own cob house, generate my own power, treat my own water and waste, grow my own food.
i would use my money and leverage to rebuild communities that are interested in localizing their economies and food and energy and waste. i would put a lot of money into ecology and conservation, even if that meant putting certain corporations out of business, and putting their employees out of work.
i would use my money to oppose magical thinking via education and policy making.
and like you, i would enjoy modern culture to the best of my ability. i would consider flying to all of yo yo ma's concerts. :)

If I had all the money in the world then money would cease to have value.
