If I had that kind of cash, I'd probably just sit by the pool all day looking at lolcat videos on my iPad.

Even a completely safe 1% return on his investments is $40 million a year. (I'm sure he does much better.)

My lifestyle would make Hugh Hefner in his heyday seem like a Trappist monk.

seriously though,I would probably never see $1 billion as I would probably have stopped somewhere once I hit the low million dollar range. Fortunately I don't think I'm going to have that problem of having to figure out how to spend a fortune like that.

I always joked that if I won the powerball that I'd blow it on cocaine and prostitutes. But First I'd change my name to something like R. N. Rich or Richard Dick or something along those lines. Nobody would haggle a guy with the name Rich Dick for money...
