What would you do with 650 Billion Dollars ?
What would you do with 650 Billion Dollars ?
This is a little wish list or you can say it’s a list of things i would do for 650 Billion Dollars, if i had them. Since i don’t, but i hope that i will have someday, this is what i would have done with all that money. For your information, 650 Billion Dollars is around 470 Billion Euro or 431 Billion Swedish Krona. Billion = Miljard in Swedish
I have divided the expenditures into different categories as seen below. Just to make things a little bit easier to see.
Investments/Stocks that i would make :
- 15 Billion Dollars in companies within Energy
(E.ON, Gazprom, EDF, Mirant, Enel SpA, PPL, Tokyo Gas, Entergy, Unison Fenosa, PG&E, Cez etc.)
- 1 Billion Dollars in companies within Bio research
(Amgen, Corvas, CalGen, Matech, etc.)
- 5 Billion Dollars in companies within Telecom
(Millicom, AT&T, BT, Telenor, Teliasonera, Vodaphone etc.)
- 10 Billion Dollars in companies within Retail
(Mars, GSC, C&S, Menard, K-Mart, Meijer etc.)
- 5 Billion Dollars in companies within Crops & Food Processing
(Cargill, MDFC, Schwan Food, Keystone, Altria etc.)
- 10 Billion Dollars in companies within Contruction
(Skanska, NCC, Obayashi, Imerys, Hyundai, Balfour etc.)
- 10 Billion Dollars in companies within Consumer Durables
(Ford, Toyota, Hyundai, BMW, Renault, Sony, Honda etc.)
- 10 Billion Dollars in companies within Financial
(Fortis, SEB, UBS, Merill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, American Express etc.)
- 10 Billion Dollars in companies within Banking
(Citigroup, HSBC, Barclays, JP Morgan, Lloyds, Dexia, DBS, Crédit Agricole etc.)
- 10 Billion Dollars in companies within Household & Personal products
(Nike, Adidas, Armani, Dior, Braun, Krupps, LG etc.)

- 4 Billion Dollars in companies within Technology hardware & equipment
(3com, Western Digital, IBM, Maxtor, Nippon, Verizon, Nextel, Samsung etc.)
Total : 100 Billion Dollars worldwide
Charity work that i would do :
- 150 Billion Dollars in HIV & AIDS awareness and research across the globe
- 75 Billion Dollars in relief efforts across the globe
- 15 Billion Dollars in preservation and protection of endangered species across the globe
Total : 240 Billion Dollars worldwide
Fun things that i would do and things i’ve always dreamed about doing :
- 10 Billion Dollars in building me the worlds largest private sailing yacht (100m+) and a lifetime insurance & docking place
- 500 Million Dollars for a few boats : Wally Power 118, Riva Aqcuaviva, Pershing 115, Palmer Johnson 120 Open + a few water scooters and smaller boats
- 250 Million Dollars for a Private jet and a Helicopter
- 250 Million Dollars for a few houses on these locations : New York, San Fransisco, Sydney, Capetown, Milan, Tokyo, Singapore and somewhere in Scotland
- 250 Million Dollars on cars & motorbikes such as : All Lamborghini’s ever made, All Ducati motorcycle’s ever made, Koenigsegg CCX, Mclaren F1, Saleen S7, Noble M14 and a few other toys
- 250 Million Dollars on tavels, hotels and small outskirts on a 5 year basis with my toys
Total : 11.750 Billion Dollars
Okay. So now i’ve spent around 352 Billion Dollars on things for me, charity and investments, so what should i do for all the other 298 Billion Dollars, well that is a good question, but here are some ideas that i want to do with the rest.
- First of all i will still have my job and i would invite all my friends at work to a very special town, just around 450km from where i live in Sweden. The town is Tallinn and it’s in Estonia. We would go there on my newly built superyacht (roughly the same size as the cruiseships currently operating there) and then we would stay at a very nice hotel in the centre of the city for 1 week to see and experience all that this amazing city has to offer. I would also give gifts to all my workmates of a value of 25.000 SEK each.
- Secondly i would give almost 20 Million Dollars to my dad and my sister, so that they don’t have to worry about money no more.
- Thirdly i think i would save the rest or just invest a bit more and live a care-free life with billions of dollars on my Visa card.
What would you do ?
