This made me laugh.

I'd buy/build a 2000 - 5000 or so capacity indoor/outdoor concert venue.
Then I'd buy Topps. First order of business would be to get rid of redemptions. Secondly, create a customer service department that actually cares about customers.

Sounds like you’re building a charity, not a business

But then half the forum would have to log out and log back in with their other account.

Id give all my family members, friends, and every one that was ever nice to me a large amount of money(not all at once, would set up an annuity for them so they couldn't lose it all or ruin their lives with it).
Id donate 1 billion to children's hospital (with oversight to ensure the money was spent wisely and not wasted or stolen)
Id put a billion into political lobbyists and politicians pushing for the things I believe in( second ammendment, term limits for ALL political positions, morality clauses for all political positions, public achool reform to focus on actual teaching and learning rather than test taking).
Defense fund for those arrested for nonsense gun regulations like gun length, large caliber, unlicensed suppressors, etc.
If a tv show i liked got canceled without an actual ending, id finance a finale for them so I could see a good ending, lol.

I'd have a dream home built from scratch with everything my family could want in it.

Travel across the globe to experience and learn from foreign cultures.
Would you have an Aadam's Family Pinball Machine for me?

I’d get an actual centrist elected President and spend the rest of it tying up the major media institutions in lawsuits for every single infraction they commit.

I was thinking Guardians of the Galaxy pinball, but I can put Adam's family on the list.

I would buy a large chunk of Land in a nice somewhat secluded area.
- Put a Giant Privacy wall, row of trees around it, and security gate.
- Build a big lake in the middle
- Build houses all around the lake and give one to each of my friends and family that I wanted to be around.
- Build a huge Mansion for myself
- Build a Gym, Theater, Pool, every kind of sports/recreation court, park, BBQ area, etc for the community to use.

Basically have a big party with friends and family and build a community that helps/loves each other for life.

I'd fly @Boo and @Hairysasquatch (alternating weeks) to the house to do the lawn and pay them a healthy amount for their expertise in this area!

I'd buy Canada.
