What would you do with the money? The ground rules are that you would have to give the money back — and whatever you bought or invested with it — after five hours. http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/109237/if-you-were-billionaire-for-five-hours
I'd buy a hitman to knock off whoever I was giving the money back to. Or I'd find a way to steal their identity.
Wouldn't that be cruel? I mean, they would buy food and other necessities, and then have it taken away after 5 hours. I probably wouldn't do anything. You can't miss what you never had.
Neither will they.... But it would put a smile on their faces, even just for 5 hours...that would bring a smile to mine!

i have been seeing and passing this question up since it appeared but no more.i'm surprised noone else has mentioned this..maybe it's my knack for finding loopholes in things but i would take that million that i would have to give back in five hrs and go to vegas and try and win my own millions or more..i would only have to give the million back..plus i would love to see them try and get that million bback from the casino.it may take them more than 5 hrs to retrieve it.or i would exchange it for pennies and spread them out all over the country..nice huntin boys!!
I would show it to every hottie I came across, promise them the world for some freaky outlandish sex (on film, of course) bang as many broads as I could in that time period and then return the money, keep the videos and tell the girls they just got punked.
Transfer the 1% of the capital to an off-shore untraceable acct and move to the Caribbean. Change my identity and live on a sailboat with satellite TV + MLB, NBA, NFL packages. Get an internet connection and live the rest of my life wearing shorts and drinking Sapporo. Come try and take it.
Remember what we did to those pirates last year? Hand over the money or it's a head-shot on high seas FTW!
I would dump the billion dollars in the stock market evenly spread across about 3 or 4 companies. With the sudden surge in activity, investors would jump on the bandwagon and I would cash back out thirty minutes later for millions in profit. I'd wait an hour and do it again with a few other companies, then cash back out and return the billion. If it didn't work..oh well, at least the billionaire would have investments to root for. If it did, we going to sizzler!
Those were the few pirates that were caught...what about all the others that collected 30 million a year for hustling teenagers to do it for them, while never leaving the island and drinking Corona the entire time. Maybe I'd buy an island, declare my own government, then recruit kids to go steal boats. Or maybe scooters...everyone loves scooters.
I would try to use it to make as much money as possible and then when I give the money back..I would still be rich.
I'd buy a one way ticket to Somalia and work with the local warlords to build my fortress and empire..
