If you had all the money in the world, what would you do?

I'd give it all back to the original owners with one notable exception, I'd keep all the money that belonged to murderers, dictators, etc. I'd still be one of the richest people in the world and as a bonus the world economy wouldn't collapse and people wouldn't completely hate me.

1.Make myself immortal
2.Make myself indestructible
3.Give myself shape shifting abilities
4.Gain the ability to directly control the fabric of time and space
5.Gain never ending and always increasing power
6.Gain the ability to not need food,water,or air to live
7.Gain the ability to create myself out of nothing
8.Goto the moon build a mansion and watch how the world changes as centuries go by.

fund research to make weapons out of said money. for instance, a knife made from bills , a machine gun made of money that shoots out wads of money, or a money launcher to make blasts of money in a lethal radius muwhahah

nothing; because if only one person has all the money I believe society will create a new currency, making your money invalid

Burn it, since everyone would probably be using some other medium of exchange and so, said money would be valueless.
On second thoughts, I guess I'd have a money shower first.

I would give half of it to charity and then I would quit my job so I could be more with my children and wife.

Umm honestly if one person had all the money in the world, it would have no value. The question should have been regarding all the *power in the world.

So to answer your question, I'd feel like a fucking idiot hoarding mountains of metal and paper. I suppose I would make a cardboard-esque house out of it for fun and use it for other origami type stuff, use it as toilet paper, and maybe... nope that's it; pretty useless.

I would be the Iron Man

Assuming the money still spends, I'd buy enough land to start a small country and live as a benevolent dictator.

Fund a massive project requiring large, arching, bridges to be built between every skyscraper in every major urban city. Then on top of those bridges will be massive ball-and-socket joints, atop which another layer of buildings and cities will be built. On top of that, there will be a final, third layer.

Then I'll convert the new World Trade Center into a high-speed elevator exchange, flood lower Manhattan, and watch in peaceful romanticism as flying taxis occupy the upper tier of every city, and water taxis ferry tourists through the seedy areas of what was once Times Square.

"Hire" ignorant messengers who don't yet understand that currency only has value insomuch as it is granted value by those who use it.

Send these messengers to the leaders of the world's major governments and inform them that they will be the lucky recipients of the vast majority of their previously-owned wealth. And they'd be wise to take it, before the world descends into anarchy and unregulated (untaxable!) bartering. Since most major governments have a vested interest in the status quo, they would be willing to go along with my plan and accept their money back, even though they would only receive 99.998% of it.

I'll require them (and they would submit, since their receipt of the promised funds is incumbent upon their execution of these and various other tasks) to task their tax officers with the appropriate disbursement of funds to those who previously held them - albeit with a little re-organizing, stripping away a minor percentage from the higher wealth brackets and putting the nonetheless substantial funds in the hands of trusted and effective educational organizations around the world.

With the world largely rescued from the potential disaster of a sudden disappearance of money (and now that an economy once again exists to grant value to the momentarily-useless handfuls of money I've held onto for personal use,) I'd use the remaining pittance of the Gross World Product--let's say about $2B USD--for a pretty decent pizza party.

And I'd spend the rest of it resurrecting Firefly.

Well, burn the copper to cupper ingot, the other ingredients to other ingots and burn the most of the notes, because they are worth nothing anyways if noone else accpeted that currency

If you had all the money in the world money would be worthless since you would be the only one with any.

though if we are talking just super wealthy I would buy the rights to dungeon keeper and theme hospital and other old amazing games and fund someone creating more of them.

Buy EA.

give 10 bucks for every dollar and collect all the money from the people and then burn it

Count it.

• first, get a next gen sequel to Raw Danger made & released in the U.S.
• second, get a modest house, a lime green Camaro with black rims, & take $1,000,000 to go on a worldwide shopping spree. save about $5,000,000.
• third, donate/give out the rest of that shit cause that's just waaaaaaay too much money for one person to have.

All the money? ALL of it? I don't know what I'd do. I imagine that I couldn't buy anything, because if I had all the money, it stands to reason that everyone else in the world would come up with a new form of economy, since they no longer have any access to their money anymore. I'd also have one hell of a hard time finding a way to store it all. And dear god, what kinds of heavy machinery would be needed to move it? Large quantities of bills are heavy enough on their own... But all those coins. Good lord...

However, I suppose that in the end, I'd end up reasonably well off, because there are a lot of various coins that are extremely valuable, being antiques, made of gold or silver, etc. The next question though, is does it count as being legally obtained? Because if not, then I'm just hosed all over again... Try to pawn some old gold doubloon from a sunken ship wreck (it's money, and you said ALL the money in the world...) to be able to pay to move and store it all, and then end up getting arrested for attempting to sell stolen property...

invest $20billion into making the next GTA.

All the money in the world? I'll burn it all.

I don't want all the money in the world.

If I would have it I would make sure such a stupid system like capitalism and paper money would never again be on our planet

Alternatively, keeping it all for myself would mean the world would be free and a better place, since money would be worthless then and that is utopia friends

Burn it.

Split it even for every1.

Pretty much nothing, coz in that way all that money would be worthless.
