Just a wonder on how you'd spend it. I'd probably buy up some land and build a nice village or town kind of similar to Poundbury. I'd probably sell houses at a fair price but only to people who send in a CV and seem to be upstanding people who actually want to work and be a part of a community, as well as giving them a mortgage Then I'd have a nice mansion and pretend to be a Lord where I can look over my wonderful tenants and maybe buy them Christmas gifts and send them birthday cards. Help them out if they need it.

Basically what some Lords did centuries ago but probably more kinder. Oh, and the place will be built with nice old timey architecture as well. Probably cobble streets because screw cars lmao. I just want to give people a nice life I guess as well as LARP as nobility

I'll tell you what I'd do, man. two chicks at the same time. And I think if I had 5 billion pounds I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.

Truthfully though I'd hook my family up bigtime for probably the next few hundred years and start hiring experts on how to deal with that kind of basically at least to me infinite money.
