It is interesting because there there a question along the lines but with only about $6 million - then my answer would be mostly along the lines of investing it (to be used by myself and my family).
A billion on the other hand maybe enough to jumpstart a replacement for the Air industri - given how much it pollutes and how much I hate flying (small seats, insane regulations, etc) - I would spend the money starting a company flying zeppelins (with hellium, and possibly a more modern design) across the atlantic ocean.
The only problem is that it takes 2 days versus 8-12 hours for a plane. I am hoping too make it up with more luxury (it should be doable because it is a lot less expensive to lift a ton in a zeppelin than an airplane) - I hope eventually to drastically reduce the use of airplains for personal transport.
But the dream doesnt stop here - I could use the same to transport goods faster (and properly not much more expensive) than a ship.
I will have to admit that the school idea sounds good to - and you could properly plaster the entire african continent with schools. But if I can get the other business running first, I could do all that and more.
Now where do I get a Billion bucks?
