You just have to remember that you're happy already, and not let the pursuit of stuff and spending overshadow that.

(I'd also get a pair of dragon ass jeans and a couple of silver spoons)
Now you are talkin..

I would get a beach house on Nantucket:

A lake house on lake Winnipesauke:
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/59-Broadview-Ter-Gilford-NH-03249/92810409_zpid/

And a winter house in Miami Beach:
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/5465-Pine-Tree-Dr-Miami-Beach-FL-33140/43884125_zpid/

Easy peasy .

If I was a billionaire, what with our dollar, I'd only be a three quarter billionaire.

So no personal Honda Jet but I'd buy a Jetson. A Jetson with the optional extra Browning machine gun already mounted.

I'd spend whatever it took to get my anonymity back, no one would know what I had or even think to ask me for money. Anything I gave away would be done anonymously through a third party and with an ironclad NDA. But then I'd probably still not trust all that and thus it would all stay with me.

Look at the big brain on Tabs.

Materially, I don’t need a thing.

I would refocus on North American Tribes...try and help figure that travesty out, again.

Being consistent is a good thing.

EDIT: I'd become a giant arsehole and travel the world full time.

I'd leave some to my kids but otherwise I'd plan to be broke at the end.

If I were a billionaire...I would seriously join the “collector cars under $250k” thread.
