JoshJayK 16,648 Posted April 2, 2010 Title When Paul Fischer checked his bank account Friday night, he had a happy surprise. His balance had exploded to $88,888,888,888.88. A very lucky number indeed, and close to $89 billion. Of course, the balance was a technical error by SunTrust Bank (NYSE: STI - News), which quickly fixed the problem. It also may have occurred in other accounts. That's only an excerpt. Read the rest underneath.

Speedskater 167 Posted April 2, 2010 Give 86 billion dollars to charity, rest just buy some stuff car a place or two, skates blades, essentials, family ext. Share this post Link to post
JoshJayK 16,648 Posted April 2, 2010 Sounds about right. I would split it up between bank accounts and let it gather interest till the day I die. Then would I give it away. Share this post Link to post
BroKeNBoX 19 Posted April 2, 2010 I wouldnt accept it, since im not a slave to money. lol Share this post Link to post
Zar 696 Posted April 2, 2010 If I had to give it back in five hours? I would do nothing because $88,888,888,888.88 = 0 if you have to give it back after five hours. Not to mention the headache from having to return everything you got. Share this post Link to post
GhoztMan 219 Posted April 2, 2010 Probably put most of it in different banks, stocks, spread it around to grow interest and such, much like R2K. I spend a few thousand here or there, buying essentials and maybe splurging once an a while. But the bulk of it would be saved, and later given away to friends/family in my will and the rest to charity. Share this post Link to post
Zander 85 Posted April 2, 2010 As soon as i saw that i would be like, OH SHIT SPEND THIS NOW BEFORE IT GOES AWAY. and hope to God they dont go after me :) Share this post Link to post
DeathTheKid 130 Posted April 2, 2010 I must be the most selfish person in the here because I would give only 2billion to charity. And the rest invest in a company and have my family set for a couple hundred years. Or I could give nothing to nobody and hope they think of some sort of Age decreasing formula and burn the whole 88billion on it. But that's just me. Share this post Link to post
Lost Prodigy 158 Posted April 2, 2010 first it would be in a swiss account within minutes. then I'd be purchasing an island, and defenses for said island, then I'd gather workers and supplies to start a farm. Fully self sufficient. Try to Repo my super fortress island Mr. Bank Man. Betcha didn't see those mines dotting the water around the island, or the STA missle batteries either. After the bank succumbs to my power I then open the island and let tourists come on because with some of the 88 billion I build a theme park. All rides are made of nanocarbon tubes, so I break pretty much every theme park record by being able to build bigger and faster. I'd probably spend a billion on a super computer to. and 1 billion of it I'd give to a random hobo. Share this post Link to post

JoshJayK 16,648 Posted April 3, 2010 I will for 2. >:P But anyways;; I would invest it forever so my grandkids can be trillionaires. Firefox doesn't even register trillionaire as a word... Share this post Link to post
Lost Prodigy 158 Posted April 3, 2010 Upon further investigation(You know, just in case) I found the island. http://www.privateislandsonline.com/great-...hans-lollik.htm The rollercoaster will span both islands. I would also like to add that I would probably also grab a few subs and destroyers from the former USSR. I already know people that can maintain and use them. Pretty quickly I would succeed the island on the grounds of try and stop me. With my new found mini Navy and Country status I'd silently conquer uninhabited islands around the world, until I garner world wide attention. Once I work my way into a spot in the UN, I'll have enough forces to overtake one of the smaller African countries, nobody will care. Once on mainland I will slowly spread all over, until I control Africa like a puppet master. After excessive raping of the continents natural resources, I will take to the moon, and then, the stars. But first I have to wait for my bank to mess up. Share this post Link to post

Aloani 0 Posted July 20, 2011 i would buy an island and a yacht with missile defences and also make my own airlines. also in the island i would hire playboy bunnies as butlers and make them nakkid all the time. buy a car and i would also crash the stock market causing worldwide chaos then at that point i will own the stock market probebly doubling the 88 billion. i would then buy microsoft, walmart, and ibm. at that point i own the technology and walmart. after that point i will probebly be the worlds most powerful man. i would build many citys that would have sustained economy. and at that point i will make everyone equal. so there would be no violence and everyone lives happily everafter.
