This is the single stupidest OP I've ever read.
Do you think a nice house costs more than a few hundred thousand dollars? No, a car doesn't cost 400 million dollars. Neither do groceries. With 800 million dollars, you could have your grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-
grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-children still living a nice life from the family heritage. As long as none of them is as stupid as you. And of course, as long as inflation doesn't make a piece of bread cost a billion dollars.

I promise you, you wouldn't
Unless you've lived in the Himalayas, in a monastery with a bunch of monks, you would keep every penny
You might donate a little, but even then it wouldn't be much

I would probably give something to foundations focusing on cancer or other incurable diseases, but other than that, it's Super yachts, Ferraris, and private jets for me.

I would buy all of Mitt Romney's money, because I'd buy the Cayman Isles.

I think I could. Especially living in a small apartment and watching your spending.
I think the only big dollar things I'd buy would be a new car.

That would be pretty easy to do if you don't buy a shit load of extremely expensive things or gamble with it.

No. I'd build an 80 foot statue of myself made of gold with a diamond studded dick sometime in the first few months and die of hunger shortly thereafter.

It'd be incredibly easy. Of course, if inflation comes into play I might be screwed over...

I COULD do that. But I would burn it all. In front of the poor, the environmentally conscious and the Africans.

Far as OP's question goes... .
Uh, yeah?
Let's look at inflation over the last 100 years... .
average 3% / year
http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%241+1902+dollar
So feel free to shift a decimal.
800,000,000 / 30,000 = 2x,xxx <-- who cares about the rest
That leaves practically all of the money to split between figuring out how to delay your inevitable assasination, and investing into a spaceship.
If you anticipate living a hundred years and feel the need to ritualistically, literally flush money down the toilet every day, a good two-grand each day should only run you about ten percent of your total.
80,000,000 / 36,500 = 2,xxx
By all means, I hope I've given you enough information to adjust for your local value of the dollar and living expenses.
Cheers!

600 million is going straight to a bank account in Jersey.
The other 200 million will just sit there, rotting away until i find some use for all that dough.

Lmao, bank account in Jersey.
I'd never trust any American bank with my money. It'd go straight into a Swiss safe.
