Put like, $10,000,000 of it in a bank which is like 100k a year for 90 years or something so I'm basically set for life I guess.
if I had 1.3 billion dollars I'd just put that .3 in the bank. even at 0.01% interest that's 300k a year
then I'd probably keep 100 million extra as a backup
and with the other 900 million idk what I'd do. I think I'd keep it, honestly. then whenever something comes up, like a big charity event, or a humble bundle, I would donate ridiculous amounts to it
I would get a non-demanding job as a software developer somewhere. it would be great, because it wouldn't have to be super profitable. I can just work somewhere that I
want to work instead of worrying about money
but most importantly is that I would try to keep it under the rug. I like buying people things, but I'd rather those people not know that I
can buy them things
and if there was that 50% tax just cut everything else in half. that's still a lot. I might take some money from the "leftover" bits (the 900 million) and put it in the bank to keep the interest closer to 300k a year, but otherwise it wouldn't be that different
at higher interest rates I'd be seriously set and I wouldn't even have to worry about that
actually, if I could find a bank that would take the whole 1.3 billion and had a higher interest rate, I'd just put it all in there. at 1% that's 13 million, and then I can easily do all of the things I said. but forever
