About to fall into $1.5 Billion. How would you spend it?

First thing that I would do is buy some new friends. I have some pretty good friends now but they are certainly not the best friends that money can buy, so I would get some new ones straight away. Next I would give some cash to a few various churches so that I could be forgiven for anything that I might have done in the past that wasn't so cool or might be considered sinful. As we all know cash can buy forgiveness in almost any religion.
After that I would spend as much as I could on booze, broads, boats and basses otherwise it might get pissed away on silly useless things.

I have had this crazy dream, if I hit the numbers like this I would buy a warehouse, have it converted into rehearsal spaces and a recording studio that caters to low income and starting musicians. keep it low cost and hopefully in a few years have it self sustaining. around here affordable rehearsal space is non existent and a lot of great indie and young bands have very little opportunity to get anywhere. kind of give back because I have been lucky enough to be able to afford a house big enough that I could convert my shop into a studio. then I would have my current house gutted and modernized. Mine and the wifes folks would be set for the rest of their lives and my kids would have at least houses set up and education for those who wish to go further.
