I'd keep 5 billion for myself. Just so I can live comfortably, help my friends and maybe start a business or two... maybe invest a bit. Start a couple of charities with another 5 billion. After that i'd figure out how to use my money and help people throughout my life.

Oh... first thing i'd do is buy a Bentley Continental gt speed, and a 2007 corvette z06. I'd also buy my mom a nice Lexus LS600.

I would forever keep the secret of building the George Washington Carver Science and Technology directly across from Red Hook projects and nourish at least the next three generations of the locals of all color in science, plumbing, electrical, computer, cooking and language skills including older people and people who joined gangs and didnt go to school so that by the end of the third generation, there would be at least 50 more Black American reincarnations of GW Carver because Martha Stewart can't be the only one. I would ask Martha and Paul Mooney to be on the board and the keystone would have a buried inscription "With Love and Affection from Peter Eng Wong's Family." A trillion dollars is a cushy amount for the hand holding that would be the depth of caring that GW Carver never got.

I would also buy the complete library of the Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen publications, a Nintendo Wii and private tutoring to get around my aspie blocks.

I would also take care of my family's bills but not let them have control of it. I would also put the control out of my own reach because I have an aspie tendency to give money away.

I think I would be a good babysitter because I am the opposite of the pedophile. In fact I'm a lot meaner about pedophiles than the average unaware citizen which make me wonder if maybe Michael Jackson really is innocent. I would only babysit screened children with surveillance on me to protect my reputation and the children's safety but I wouldn't mind taking care of kids so their parents get to go on retreats and stuff. I'd buy them dim sum and let them jump on a trampoline.

That's a ridiculous amount. I'd probably give most of it away.

Firstly I would stand around with one of my hands held up to my jaw, with my little finger extended towards my mouth, and I would say "And my ransom is... one TRILLION dollars!" :P

Then I'd pay off my parents' and siblings' debts and give them some money to put in their bank accounts. I'd buy myself a house, build some mecha defence units and retire from any contact with the outside world aside from my weekly comics (speaking of which, I'd probably give a sizeable donation to the guy who runs my local comic shop, too, as he deserves it).

The first thing I would do is set a budget.

Second thing, write everything down on what was needed right then and there

Third thing, write down what I want to do rather than need to do

Fourth thing, write down how much is to be invested

Fifth thing, write down how much to give to family and find homeless people to help.

Sixth thing, find out how much money it would take to buy out Cure Autism Now

Seventh thing, plot places that I've always wanted to see

Eighth thing, Go to those places and scope them out

Ninth thing, buy ninja wear in Japan

Tenth thing, start own company.

Eleventh thing, Hire inventors for company.

Twelfth thing, Put on ninja mask during meetings and jump on top of the table and make sure nobody is falling asleep

Thirteenth thing, create a music studio

Fourteenth thing, sign starving artists

Fifteenth thing, by this time I should have already found the house I want. Buy the house.

Sixteenth thing, synthesizer collection, guitar collections, tribal drums, drum machines, microphones, computer software and computer, mixboard for a good set up

Seventeeth thing, start an aspie night club.

Eighteenth thing, write down further plots once the goals above are accomplished.
