I would totally go to Denny's for breakfast.

I'd do whatever, whenever and forever.

what's the female version of hookers and blow?

seriously.

Make it rain

By the USADA, USATF, and IAAF. Fire all of the attorneys. Ban attorneys from being employees. Those attorneys are responsible for making a mockery of sport.

* buy

I would give it all to Darren Wilson.

use it to fund another national treasure movie featuring nick cage.

I'd redistribute it, of course, keeping only about 100 dollars for myself. Anything else wouldn't be fair . . .

Build a 440 yard cinder track with a retractable roof and all the modern amenities, host the World Imperial Distances Track Championships every year. 100 yard sprint, 110 yard hurdles, 220 yard sprint, 440 yard sprint, 440 yard intermediate hurdles, the half mile, the mile, the two mile, and finally the inagural 4 mile.

I'd probably woo your wife

Invest in tissue engineering

Drop out of school, travel the world, learn an instrument, address festering medical problems, buy a nice condo above Chicago's downtown.

I would set up 20 meticulously calibrated treadmills in a parking lot on a cool 44 degree day. I would invite the 20 best marathoners in the world. All would start at the same time with the treadmill set at 4:34/mile. Last runner standing wins 1 MILLION DOLLARS. Every runner that runs more than 26.2 miles will get a 5 MILLION DOLLAR BONUS.

I would tens of thousands of dollars to all of my friends. I'm honestly not sure what else I would buy... I would probably go to New Zealand for a while just to visit, but I'd return here. I have friends here and like my life here. I honestly think just giving money to people who are struggling or deserve it would be the most satisfying thing I'd do. I need a new car, so I guess I'd probably buy a new one, but probably just a 20-30k car. I'd also help out my parents since they've helped me out so much.

I have no idea what I'd do with the remaining 9.9 billion.

I'd set up a trust to fund wilderness expansion and creation in the US and internationally, most likely working with existing environmental organizations. Would target areas of rapid deforestation in South America, Africa, and SE Asia to save as much old growth forest as possible. In the US my biggest priority for lobbying, etc would be expanding Canyonlands NP to its originally intended size.

I'd get a good financial adviser and set up a diversified stock portfolio with dividend stocks. Then I'd buy a $100,000 house like a regular guy and do my thing. No reason to waste money on materialistic items. Maybe make a scholarship program for HS seniors, maybe donate to some charities, etc.

That's such an absurd amount of money, I think I'd just freeze and spend nothing initially.

- I could spend $50,000 ($500 is over the top for me) at a strip club every single night for 545 years.

- I could pay a woman 1 MILLION FREAKING DOLLARS to sleep with me. And do that every single night with a different woman for 27 god damned years.

And I agree with Louis CK's take on it with his Shit-@ss-Pet-f@ckers routine.

Honestly, I think I would just freeze up and have this weird urge to commit suicide before even spending a dime.

I'd be in the gym a lot more.
