I've have a huge ranch with a 18 hole golf course, tennis courts, indoor/outdoor swimming pool and every toy you could list. Then double that cause I'd have another one somewhere where the weather was nice during winter in Canada.
Then I would travel to every big sports event all over the world and play golf at every great course in the world as well.
A few years of that and then do the Bill Gates thing and spend my time doing charitable work with the cash to do some good things!!!!

I would definately travel a lot. I would buy a brand new SUV, buy into the Flames if I could, buy a huge aquarium, build myself my own personal running track, and would donate a lot of it to charity.

Ah, people who haven't seen Office Space...
Anyhow, I'd donate most of it to charities. I'd start a scholarship at the U of C. I'd leave myself $10 million, create a annuity and live off the monthly interest.

The story on CNN refers to this new entity as "Gootube".

If you had 1.65 Billion, what would you do?
Throw it on the pile and try to double it.

I'd take 1.65 Billion in Google stock, could be worth 2 billion with a year.
and as for what I would do with that kind of money. Anyone remember Uncle Scrooge's Vault on Duck Tales.

Invest it all @ 10% and have an incredibly fun time trying to spend the (approx) $300/minute, $19000/hour, $450,000/day I made in interest.

I'd pull a Mark Cuban and buy the Flames. The rest I would divide between investments, family and charity.

For sure, I'd use some of it to buy the Flames. Then I'd use the rest to cover the losses I ran every year by spending right to the cap looking for my Cup!  Yep, I'd be one of those managers.

With $1.65 billion, I would put a downpayment on a house in Calgary.

buy a house and a cabin, build a huge tower in calgary(tallest in the world), buy the flames and the stamps, buy an expensive car, donate to charities, give some to my dad so he can retire and to my sister and brother in law and invest the rest and live off the interest.
