For me, the first thing I'd do is clear my family of all debts(or whatever financial issues) there is and then the second thing i'd do is buy a hundred Siomai for me to eat

What are you buying if you won One billion dollars?

One billion is an insane amount. You can literally buy everything you see and your bank account would still be increasing from the interest alone.

In order to spend one billion you need to think in extreme cases, like buying some kind of company that is hugely overvalued.

Personally I'd buy a lot of land and create a research facility of sorts.

With money like that you could buy 1/44th of twitter!

Or 1/69th of ActiBlizz

Or a 1/716 of Meta

Yeah even if you parked your billion in some account with super low interest, say 0.1%, it'd still generate a million dollars a year without you even doing a thing.
