$30k a year? That's what I made in the mid 90s.

I would give $1M to Tunnels for Towers and or Wounded Warrior Project and another Million for ASPCA and then spend $1-2M on the Andy Griffith house>

I would also watch the local news which always has stories about people whose business was vandalized or burnt down or robbed and would donate to them to help them get back on their feet.

You weren't living in the PI, I'm happy where I'm living. That's really it, you would have to sit around coming up with ideas what to do with it which you're happy with. That's what I'm not interested in. Coming up with a billion dollars worth of ideas just sounds like a burden to me. A million dollars I could just throw away. A billion and I'm going to need to start being a responsible philanthropist. That sounds like a job to me

Yeah making desperate people and animals happy and giving them hope doesn't sound like a job to me. To me it would be an incredible blessing.

And of course in my spare time I would be traveling around the world with my harem of hotties partying my ass off. Win Win! ha

That's what I am saying. Having a billion dollars would be an obligation to do something worthwhile with it. I'm at that point in life where I'd be busy trying to figure out how to give it away. I've got a three year old now. That's the life I'm focused on developing. Honestly I don't see a billion dollars being helpful with it. A million dollars would, a billion not so much. I'd like more money to ensure his education but I really wouldn't want to just leave him a billion dollars.

And I have been around the world. I really don't have much interest in going into the city these days let alone going around the world again. It does strike me as a bunch of hassle. Of course this is a function of getting old.

Speaking of, you have to be too young to remember the television show "The Millionaire". Jeez, it was 55-60. It's what it was about. Mysterious wealthy guy gives a million dollars to an unsuspecting beneficiary. It was like Mission Impossible. Each episode starting with his agent delivering this fortune to some unsuspecting person. The stories were how it impacted their lives good or bad. It was a popular show.
