You are suddenly the richest person in the entire world. What is the first thing you do?

I would go travel..... and eh see certain things.

Save a lot of it, invest some, help out my mom and my dad, my brothers, buy myself a modest home I can keep up with easily and live in for life, a new car and perhaps continue to work.

The very first thing I would do is faint!

Me too!

I should have known this would be the next question
Taking a trip through the USA.

The USA is a big place. Any idea where you might start out or end up?

I would donate money to our wonderful banking systems and help them pay off their debts.
Then I would donate money to our politicians to help them pay off the national debt.

no wait... I would buy a country and start my own national bank

speaking of which, given now that 1% of the world's population now hold 50% of the world's wealth, the chances of becoming the richest person in the world just keeps getting further and further away
