i think if u change psychopaths with arabs then it all make sense
kapaa
I would probably spend it accordingly to live a whole life without having to work again.
^ lmao yeah fuck work. I'd buy my own Island and create my own state to avoid taxes. also i'd pay large Food companies to send me stuff directly for the rest of my life. besides that I'd probably travel the world
6 billion
well id invest alot and then spend rest for everyday normal things i do nowadays
aka gaming/food/going out and shit
actually i would make a few lan cafees around lithuania
maybe adopt couple pubstar teams and try to get them into pro scene
i would definetly invest a great deal into esport improvement
$3 Billion to charity. $1 Billion to churches.
$2 Billion for me, no one needs $6 Billion to live well-off
I would start a housing scheme in a very poor country. Essentially turning a slum into a relatively well developed community with all the amenities, simple but efficient green housing, and the residents would pay a very small rental fee through jobs provided through the community (e.g. garbage men, cleaners, gardeners ,electricians etc.) residents children would go through school, and further education should it be required.
Within this new development would come a lot of well taken cared for laborers with would attract commercial rental space for bigger companies to out source their work too. Google for example would move into the neighborhood and provide jobs for the locals who, with the additional help, care, and community support they received be all round of a much higher quality of worker than the average man.
So homes, jobs, education, and better lives for the poor which would then be self sustaining through the few large commercial enterprises who would set up there as a source of cheap, educated, and happy workers.
....but this is just because you had a bad game not because you actually wanted to know.
At first I'd turn off the global internet for Russians and then get a lot of candy and play dota for rest of my life.
<-- nerdy
would probably invest in medicine/alternative energy/farming/schools/space exploring. stuff for future.
charity sucks, churches suck even harder, and i seriously dont care about sand niggars killing each other.
and ofc i would keep a few mil for myself. gonna visit the world, do skydiving, suba diving, cliff jumping. stuff like that.
Uh guys. What does this stuff have to do with anything about improving at DOTA?
Did someone get a paycheck of 6 Billion dollars? I bet you got it fom some Nigerian prince.
I would have bought my own secret island and made a nuclear weapons factory or some shit, and then proceeded to conquer the world with my army.
also with 6 billions ure basically qualified to meet ppl like presidents and shit so you have a huge impact on politics, u can form the world as u want it to be
I can answer this one. For some reason, I attract these people into my life. I don't do anything super extraordinary. I am not famous. But I count many peoplewith ultra high net wealth among my close friends and I have spent more time than even I can believe with 8 different billionaires. This is not just meet-and-greet time. This is small group and even one-to-one time. I dated the daughter of one billionaire several decades ago. So I have gotten a peek into this life.
Let's get one thing out of the way. There are gradations of rich. I see four major breaking points:
Worth $10mm-$30mm liquid (exclusive of value of primary residence). At this level, your needs are met. You can live very comfortably at a 4-star/5-star level. You can book a $2000 suite for a special occassion. You can fly first class internationally (sometimes). You have a very nice house, you can afford any healthcare you need, no emergency financial situation can destroy your life. But you are not "rich" in the way that money doesn't matter. You still have to be prudent and careful with most decisions unless you are on the upper end of this scale, where you truly are becoming insulated from personal financial stress. (Business stress exists at all levels). The banking world still doesn't classify you as 'ultra high net worth'
Net worth of $30mm-$100mm
At this point, you start playing with the big boys. You can fly private (though you normally charter a flight or own a jet fractionally through Net Jets or the like), You stay at 5 star hotels, you have multiple residences, you vacation in prime time (you rent a ski-in, ski-out villa in Aspen for Christmas week or go to Monaco for the grand Prix, or Canne for the Film Festival--for what its worth, rent on these places can run $5k-20k+ per NIGHT.), you run or have a ontrolling interest in a big company, you socialize with Conressmen, Senators and community leaders, and you are an extremely well respected member in any community outside the world's great cities. (In Beverly Hills, you are a minor player at $80 million. Unless you really throw your weight around and pay out the nose, you might not get a table at the city's hottest restaurant). You can buy any car you want. You have personal assistants and are starting to have 'people' that others have to talk to to get to you. You can travel ANYWHERE in any style. You can buy pretty much anything that normal people think of as 'rich people stuff'
$100mm-$1billion
I know its a wide range, but life doesn't change much when you go from being worth $200mm-$900mm. At this point, you have a private jet, multiple residences with staff, elite cars at each residence, ownership or significant control over a business/entity that most of the public has heard of, if its your thing, you can socialize with movie stars/politicians/rock stars/corporate elite/aristocracy. You might not get invite to every party, but you can go pretty much everywhere you want. You definitely have 'people' and staff. The world is full of 'yes men'. Your ability to buy things becomes an art. One of your vacation home may be a 5 bedroom villa on acreage in Cabo, but that's not impressive. You own a private island? Starting to be cool, but it depends on the island. You just had dinner with Senator X and Governor Y at your home? Cool. But your billionaire friend just had dinner with the President. You have a new Ferrari? Your friend thinks their handling sucks and has a classic, only-five-exist-in-the-world-type of car. Did I mention women? Because at this level, they are all over the place. Every event, most parties. The polo club. Ultra-hot, world class, smart women. Power and money are an aphrodisiac and you have it in spades. Anything thing you want from women at this point you will find a willing and beautiful partner. You might not emotionally connect, but damn, she's hot. One thing that gets rare at this level? friends and family that love you for who you are. They exist, but it is pretty damn hard to know which ones they are.
$1billion
I am going to exclude the $10b+ crowd, because they live a head-of-state life. But at $1b, life changes. You can buy anything. ANYTHING. In broad terms, this is what you can buy:
Access. You now can just ask your staff to contact anyone and you will get a call back. I have seen this first hand and it is mind-blowing the level of access and respect $1 billion+ gets you. In this case, I wanted to speak with a very well-known billionaire businessman (call him billionaire #1 for a project that interested billionaire #2. I mentioned that it would be good to talk to billionaire #1 and B2 told me that he didn't know him. But he called his assistant in. "Get me the xxxgolf club directory. Call B1 at home and tell him I want to talk to him." Within 60 minutes, we had a call back. I was in B1's home talking to him the next day. B2's opinion commanded that kind of respect from a peer. Mind blowing. The same is true with access to almost any Senator/Governor of a billionaires party (because in most cases, he is a significant donor). You meet on an occassional basis with heads-of-state and have real conversations with them. Which leads to
Influence. Yes, you can buy influence. As a billionaire, you have manyways to shape public policy and the public debate, and you use them. This is not in any evil way. the ones I know are passionate about ideas and are trying to do what they feel is best (just like you would). But they just had an hour with the Governor privately, or with the Secretary of Health, or the buy ads or lobbyists. The amount of influence you have can be heady.
Time. Yes, you can buy time. You literally never wait for anything. Travel? you fly private. Show up at the airport, sit down in the plane and the door closes and you take off in 2 minutes, and fly directly to where you are going. The plane waits for you. If you decide you want to leave at anytime, you drive (or take a helicopter to the airport and you leave. The pilots and stewardess are your employees. They do what you tell them to do. Dinner? Your driver drops you off at the front door and waits a few blocks away for however long you need. The best table is waiting for you. The celebrity chef has prepared a meal for you (because you give him so much catering business he wants you VERY happy) and he ensures service is impeccable. Golf? Your club is so exclusive there is always a tee time and no wait. Going to the Superbowl or Grammy's? You are whisked behind velvet ropes and escorted past any/all lines to the best seats in the house.
Experiences. Dream of it and you can have it. Want to play tennis with Pete Sampras (not him in particular, but that type of star)? Call his people. For a donation of $100k+ to his charity, you could probably play a match with him. Like Blink182? There is a price where they would simply come play at your private party. Love art? Your people could arrange for the curator of the Louvre to show you around and even show you masterpieces that have not been exhibited in years. Love Nascar? How about racing the top driver on a closed track? Love science? Have a dinner with Bill Nye and Neil dGT. Love politics? have Hillary Clinton come speak at a dinner for you and your friends, just pay her speaking fee. Your mind is the only limit to what is available. Because donations/fees get you anyone.
The same is true with stuff. You like pianos? How about owning one Mozart used to compose music on? This is the type of stuff you can do.
IMPACT. Your money can literally change the world and change lives. It is almost too much of a burden to think about. Clean water for a whole village forever? chump change. A dying child need a transplant? Hell...you could just build and fund a hospital and do it for a region.
RESPECT. The respect you get at this level is just over-the-top. You are THE MAN in almost every circle. Governors look up to you. Fortune 500 CEOs look up to you. Presidents and Kings look at you as a peer.
PERSPECTIVE. The wealthiest person I have spent time with makes about $400mm/year. i couldn't get my mind around that until I did this: OK--let's compare it with someone who makes $40,000/year. It is 10,000x more. Now let's look at prices the way he might. A new Lambo--$235,000 becaome $23.50. First class ticket internationally? $10,000 becomes $1. A full time executive level helper? $8,000/month becomes $0.80/month. A $10mm piece of art you love? $1000. Expensive, so you have to plan a bit. A suite at the best hotel in NYC $10,000/night is $1/night. A $50million home in the Hamptons? $5,000. There is literally nothing you can't buy except.
Love. Sorry to sound so trite, but it is nearly impossible to have a normal emotional relationship at this level. It is hard to sacrifice for another person when you are never asked to sacrifice ANYTHING. Money can solve all problems for someone, so you offer it, because there is so much else to do. Your time is SOOOO valuable that you ration it. And that makes you lose connections with people.
Anyway, that is a really long answer, but I have a very unique perspective because I have seen behind the curtain of the great and mighty OZ. just wanted to share
I'd probably just save most of it to make interests from the money, maybe donate some to CFF.
I enjoyed spunkifol's perspective.
However a good perspective is also HOW you obtained that 6 billion dollars.
For instance, if I actually worked my way into a position where I had that much money, I would probably not be any bit like my current self, so I can't really see that happening.
If 6 billion dollars plopped into my lap right now, I would spend about 6 months thinking about what I would actually do with it without trying to change my life very much (aside from actually paying bills on time).
If I had to choose something right when I got the 6 billion, I would commit a lot of money into conservation. Some money into building a home out on an island and hire a personal chef. The rest will take care of itself.
I'll use the money to hire hitmen on the Deep Web to go after Leshrac, Storm, Undying, Techies pickers.
well i whould ...
1. buy dotabuff then shut it down for gods sake
2. propose my gf to marry me you know i kinda love her but she deserve bests in the world so im so fucked up i probably will break up with her cuz no money no love yeah thats my life
3. buy brazzers then fire johnny fucking sins from brazzer i even may pay a hitman to kill him wih pain
4. buy some gun cuz i love guns
5. buy a better pc
6. i whould tell my boss how much dick he is
then i whould play dota for rest of my life
and i will keep remembering that charity is only getting help from others ...!
lol sorry i forgot to add the source /facepalm
Oh so it wasn't you personally? I was going to ask how you ended up in those circles.
But yeah, if you are a billionaire, unless it's inherited wealth or winning lottery, you probably wake up every day around 5 or 6am and work your ass off. I know the public has this idea of the fat cats on wall street and stuff taking long lunches and not doing anything and raking in the cash. Like a modern day mad men show, getting drunk in the office, taking naps etc. But that's not really true. Like Donald Trump doesn't even drink, is a very early riser. Bill Gates does his foundation work and stuff but clocked in for microsoft for years. Most of these guys until they hit their 50s and "retire" still put in 12 hour days or longer. They play hard too of course, but reality is they become billionaires because they are insanely passionate about something and it's not about money, it's about their passion. So we think yeah if I had all that money look at the leisure stuff I could do! But reality is if you earned it all you'd probably just want to earn more cus that's what you enjoy most.
For me though, I think it would be awesome to
1. Record an album in a pro studio. I've done solo recordings (original stuff) guitar and voice only on my pc but it's nowhere near the quality and it'd be awesome to hire a real session band.
2. Make a video game like hire artists and programmers and designers and shit. I would of course help design and choose the type and genre but I'd hire people to do the work. I have a couple ideas for games I would like to see that will probably never get made. Like a reboot of mechwarrior 4/mercs. Mechwarrior online blows. Or a game kind of like star wars empire at war but set in mechwarrior universe so you could go from high level planetary space battles down to the planet deployment battles like mechcommader and then take direct control like mw4.
Curt Schilling basically did this with kingdoms of amalur. He had a lot of money, he loves mmorpgs and decided to make his own (amalur was a single player game that was supposed to be the basis for an mmo later), he hired a ton of super expensive people to do it. Only it wouldn't matter if my game made money or not. His game flopped and lost a ton of money and they shut the studio down, but Curt Schilling isn't a billionaire, he can't afford to lose half his networth on one venture. A billionare could lose ~20 million on one game and not be a huge deal.
"they become billionaires because they are insanely passionate about something and it's not about money, it's about their passion."
Substitute billionaires with millionaires and I agree, at a certain point in wealth you're just doing it for the money
Money can be a passion. But that's what I mean, it's not just the lifestyle it's the act of getting more. I don't think they can just shut it off and relax like we all would if we won the lottery.
I know if I won the lottery I'd end up alone and quite possibly dead from a heart attack. Cus I'd want to quit my job, hire a nanny, drink beer and play dota all day lol. I mean not all day but the 8 hours I would've been at work. That actually might work, tell her I'm still employed or starting my own business and go to an office and just play dota there! Plus i'd buy a bunch of stupid shit like legos and cars and my wife would hate it. She'd think it's a waste of money no matter how many millions banked.
