On billionaires.
Congratulations, you just won the hypothetical lottery and you’re now a billionaire. What will you do with the money first?
Jody Piland
First I would buy this,
and then I would pay off my student loans.
Pete Anderson
Purchase a Major League Baseball franchise. And maybe the Jacksonville Jaguars, depending on how much of a billionaire I’ve become.
Julie Turner
Become an anonymous benefactor of as many schools, nonprofits and community groups as I can feasibly support.
Kevin Smith
I thank the lottery and get the money safely in the bank. I’d then invite my co-workers to my house for an offsite planning session (with drinks). Our session would be titled: “Finally rich, a strategy and implementation plan for Kevin.” It would be based on a $1 billion budget. Riggs Partners’ strategic planning fees would be 20 percent of my overall budget.
Ryon Edwards
$250 million spread equally between non-profits in our state (earmarked for marketing budgets, of course)
$150 million to invest, start a few foundations, etc. (through CCCF)
$75 million for a startup business
$25 million to share with my facebook friends
$50K cash just to carry around in my wallet.
$50K for a new car
Remainder would probably be taxed, and I’d probably be OK with that.
Kevin Archie
I would start an online film processing business similar to Netflix that would allow people to send in film and get awesome prints back for cheap. Either that or I would buy out Kodak or Polaroid and make them good again.
