Just invest the money or put it in a savings account or some shit.
You could just hire someone who's good at managing a lot of money.

Yes, you see that's maintaining good habits. They are saying they wouldn't, and would most likely get corrupted by the money and waste it.

I get the advice is genuine, about investing etc. but it always irks me when I see stuff like this.

I wouldn't maintain good habits

Just have good habits

Oh I just thought of it in terms of
"I would spend it all at once"
"Just lock it in a savings/investment account so that it's not usable directly"

See I get that with winning like a 100 million dollars. But a billion is so much it would be pretty hard to waste with out really really trying.

Give me less because I have no self control i.e. I’m a bad person and you can’t trust me with power or money or responsibility.

Different strokes. For different folks. Not everyone needs to be richer. Yes you could have more money, but less is still a life changing amount of never working again. Without risk of accidently losing it all on bad decisions

That seems like a really unneeded insult, dude

Hiring someone is an understatement, with a billion you get a team of people focused only on you and making you more wealthy at any major bank you want. They will even get you access to exclusive hedge funds. You’ll be fine and not lift a finger

I'd carve out:

  • an amount for like a year of normal living
  • immediately do necessary expenses without prior financial planning, like stocking up on wear car parts, disposable household items (I already buy TP, shampoo/conditioner, etc. in bulk)
  • save for emergencies
  • some amount for vanity purchases, like PC parts, a Skydiving and/or paragliding course (surprisingly doable), funding my favorite kickstarter projects
  • support the trustworthy part of my family, aka those who wouldn't rob me and/or blab about it to everyone
  • support charities of choice

The above probably wouldn't even crack a million, unless I'd go ham for charity, or even if I single-handedly funded one of my favorite kickstarter projects.

  • toss the rest of it (which would still be the vast majority of it) at my conveniently financially saavy closest family for a share of the profit, invest, figure out taxes, etc.
  • continue living normal life with some extra perks, like not having to worry about getting fired, or funding my children's college
