Everyone's all "stuff to make world peace!" but I'm gonna be honest with y'all.
A lot of old video games. Like a catastrophic amount of them.

Well what would you do with the remaining 99.99% of your wealth?
Property. What I then do with it can be decided later.
- Buy a big mansion/estate somewhere quiet in Scotland
- Hire staff and carers
- Fill mansion with the CFS/ME sufferers who are in awful situations and give them somewhere safe/peaceful to exist.
- Rinse and repeat to how many such facilities that much money can support.
- Leave enough in trust to keep the facilities open.
Initially? Nothing. Unless my identity has been publicly tied to this amount of money, in which case a plane ticket to somewhere I'm not known, probably.
One billion is an insane amount. You can literally buy everything you see and your bank account would still be increasing from the interest alone.
In order to spend one billion you need to think in extreme cases, like buying some kind of company that is hugely overvalued.
Personally I'd buy a lot of land and create a research facility of sorts.

FIRE. And maybe a pizza.
Fix my house completely. Buy a better house and start investing and flipping. Then at this point, I'd blow some cash and short Reddit right after IPO.
- I would spend a small amount on my immediate indulgences (things I have wanted to do or buy)
- Then I would towards making investments that will give me enough passive income to grow my wealth and take care of my expenditure
- A comfortable house
- Give a good amount regular to charitable and non-governmental organisations that I believe are doing a good. But never to leeching relatives.
Dump it all in some low-risk diverse funds, live off only a portion of the returns, and otherwise try to forget about it.
I'd do all the things that most people would do. Pay off debts, help out family/friends, invest, donate, etc.
Other than that, I'd buy a castle. Something like this. Living in such an old place like that with all the history associated with it seems really cool to me.
