J. Paul Getty was once asked to confirm whether or not he was worth over a billion dollars.
It seems that Getty thought about it for a moment and then replied, "Yes, I suppose it is true, but a billion dollars doesn't go as far as it used to."
Just how far can a billion dollars go? That many one dollar bill placed end on end will go around the world at the equator about 4 times.
Gee, I'd like to see how far I can make a billion dollars go.
What would you do if you had a billion dollars?

(pinky to mouth) One ... billion ... dollars ...
Great question. I'd pay off debts, set some aside for emergencies, and invest a bunch of it. I'd donate to charitable causes and make big things happen in the world. Big things to improve people's lives - first spiritually and then physically. And I'd leave it all to my posterity to see how they'd handle it!
A lifetime supply of chocolate, too, if there was any money left :).
