When I was a youngster I dreamt of having a million dollars. Today this amount is but a piffle ... if you don't have at least a billion, you are a nobody. So this Wednesday's Powerball drawing has given me a chance to upgrade my dream ... and go for being a billionaire. If I'm so lucky on Wednesday, the issue then would become ... how to spend all this dough? Let me suggest some interesting ways:
- Set up the Potts Foundation to combat global warming ... fund it with 500 million dollars
- Get some new wheels ... perhaps a Rolls
- Like many of the Silicon-Valley billionaires, spend money to live forever
- Hire Jim Cramer to manage my money
- I might emulate Rupert Murdoch ... get divorced and marry a young chippie ... see: Daily Mail Article
- Buy a 200 foot yacht and park it off of St. Barts for the winter
- Buy a gun for every registered Republican voter who doesn't already own one
- Provide full-ride college funding for all my grandchildren
- I might even purchase a sports team
