Give 30 Billion to the state of New Jersey to pay off our debt, so that property taxes would go down.

First, be content with life. Second, by everything I've ever wanted Third, cry while filling out tax forms and trying to explain to the IRS that it is perfectly normal for a 23 year old male to suddenly come into $50B.

I would keep 1 billion and give the rest to other causes. 1 billion if divided by 80 years is $12,500,000 a year which is more than enough for me. :o

Pay off the debt and the new building fund of my Diocese, wait, heck, all of the dioceses in the United States. I would then proceed to give a billion dollars each to 20 lucky charities. I would of course splurge a little on myself and put 50 million in the bank. I would proceed to provide for all my family, even the very distant ones. Any left over would be invested to earn a return so I could eventually give more out to charities.

Move out to the country, read a book, and sip lemonade and sweet tea on my front porch all day long.

Hopefully I'll have found a wife to share it with by then, haha.

First thing I would do is hire some wall street accountants and lawyers so the gov't can't take a big chunk out of my money. Second, I would keep 5 billion for my own personal use. Third, I would invest heavily in solar and other alternative forms of energy. Hopefully that would get the US' hands away form mingling in the mid east so much. Also the country that masters alternate energy first will dominate economically for decades to come. Lastly, I would donate a vast majority of my energy business' profits to scholarships and other things I feel like.

Retire early, travel the world. Open several businesses, give a few million to my family, withdraw over a few million to stash away, hire top of the line lawyers, and hope the IRS don't come looking for me. At one point though, I will completely disappear from society, find a nice spot near a large body of water where I will have a nice size house made to withstand almost anything mother nature throws at it and also top of the line security. A house similar to this:

house

I will leave a few selected family members letters of appreciation making sure I don't leave any clues to where I live...

I would donate a good deal of it like a lot of people here said, likely to charities and probably invest in some future technologies and education. Then I would pay off my debt and give money to my family. Then I would buy or build a sweet house, build my own racetrack and buy tons of awesome cars and drive the hell out of them.

Keep 2 billion dollars and give the other 48 billion dollars away to charities. Not only would 2 billion dollars support you and your family for the rest of everyones LIVES, but you'd also be an absolute HERO in the eyes of everyone in the world.
