Ive been talking to my m8s online about this a good bit recently; through trade etc, I have made a good bit of iskies. 15 billion to be exact. I proberly have another 10 billion in random ships and mods as well. I was saving towards a mothership, but to be honest Im not sure anymore.
I have been playing for just under 2 years now. I have tryed most things in this game. I have tryed industry stuff, which aint really fun. I have done missions, I have done trade, I have been an anti pie, a pie, a merc, 0.0 alllaince stuffs and generally Im an out and out pvper. Im currently in a 1 man wonder corp, war deccing whoever I want.
I have plenty of friends in game and have been thinking about getting a nyx to have some fun with, the thing is, I know the nyx will die. I wont have an alliance fleet to back me up, so eventually I will get ganked, or I will do something stupid. This in turn will mean that I might very well end up quiting the game, who knows.
Anyway, I love pvp, but buying 200 fully fitted domis and just doing the same thing over and over again for the rest of my time in this game, just does not seem entertaining.
So my question to you eve is what am I supposed to do?
So as Im sure I will get 15 billion suggestions of quit and give me your stuffs, that you will all be getting 1 isk each so its proberly not worth your time or effort to post, but im sure most of you will, I am hoping for a few actual suggestions though  |

Donate to myself - so i can break the 100km/sec barrier with my ship. Or buy the mods and let me borrow them, you can have them back and resell them after - no isk loss

Well I' would attemp to dominate a corner of Eve with whatever moral structure is your own. So if you are anti- pirate, kick the rats outta that corner, or if you were a pirate, bring the anarchy to somewhere previously peaceful.
I put it to you that you are now in a position to influence the political landscape of Eve,go for it.

1. take a ship of choice (e.g. pimped blasteranis)
2. just leeroy into fights where you likely won't survive - no matter the odds, as long there's splosions (e.g. engaging a *blob* of crows in a blasteranis)
3. fraps it.
4. rinse and repeat.
5. make an 1-hour "omg awesome leeroy fights" movie.
6. ???
7. profit

join a worthy alliance and help them build an outpost with your iskies \o/
... tbh most people make ISK to pvp, or get shiny officer equipment and faction ships, but you already stated that you don't want to invest it into something you are going to lose ...

the last thing you want to do with your isk is buy a mothership, seriously, huge gank magnet that will be slaughtered without fleet backup, never able to dock, go into highsec, and you won't feel very happy when that happens.
With 15bil isk you could try a lot of different playstyles, not just endless domis :)
and i'd still appreciate 1 isk so can I have your stuffs plox ^_^

If you don't know what to do with your isk, you shouldn't focusing on making isk either as that'll kill the fun for you.
Obviously you don't like other aspects of the game either, so my recommendation is to take a break from EVE. Only come back if you miss the game. By that time, you'll know what you want to do with it.

Depends what you want out of the game. If you're in a 1 man corp the implication is that you don't play much with others. try getting into a bigger corp, in an alliance, and diverting your time towards influencing the rise and fall of nations in the game. 15bill might not be a lot on a global scale, but it can't hurt.
You can't measure how well you're doing in the game by just your wallet. It's how much you're enjoying it. If you're not enjoying it then you're not winning

Instead of 100 Domi's, try fitting out other ships of all sizes and pvp in them. The variety of fitting and flying them might spark your interest a bit.

Ive been in the big corps, Ive been in some of the games best corps, and I fly one of about every ship class you possibly can, between me and my alts. I have lots and lots of guys I play with and talk to every time i log on.
Its not that Im no longer interested in eve, I love this game and I still get a rush even from something like taking an enyo after a rax in a belt, this game can leave you shaking afterwards. I had a vindi with an 8 billion isk fit that I used in pvp. I lost a navy tron not long ago, but it was extreamly fun, but I want something new! Im just sure what else there is. I have a.d.d basicaly |

stop earning isk and see how long your 15b last on pvp and other activities :-)
f.e. make an isk invested/kill ratio tests on different ships nad publish them ...
I never had more than about 200m isk and never knew what to do with tha much isk :-)

Once I was in the billions, I did the whole toys thing. Expensive ships, modules, implants, buying stuff for other people, etc.
I don't know how long your 15 bil will last if you're not continuing to invest it, but I personally kept investing my money.
I'm far beyond 15bil now, and starting to feel burnout.
So what am I doing?

Grab a freighter.
Fill it with spirits, tobacco and exotic dancers (in multiple stacks so they all don't get blown up)
Jump into the Rancer low sec pocket.
Share the wealth thats my motto 
Oh and keep up the good work with the pvp and all that

Have you ever considered becoming immortal? Seriously. Many people underestimate the power of roleplay in this game.
With 15 billion, you could write yourself a story (or hire someone), something you want to tell from your character's point of view, then go make it happen.
That way, even when the isk is gone, your legend lives forever.
PS. I also like that destroying one item on the market idea. Just go buy them all from everywhere, then mark them up ridiculously.

How about starting a corp with others in it? Get some POS up and running, carve out your own space, make a new allaince, challenge the old ones?
Trying experiamental setups can be fun too, stuff that nobody has tried out yet, not going for "the best", but fun setups and possibly some rather efficient ones, who knows what you find if you test stuff out :P.
You also got FW, you could help out a militia with some good ships (fly yourself or give them some ships)?
You could sponsor a tournament of some kind?
Or if you wish, sponsor a young up and coming corp? (like the corp I am in ;P)

It doesásound fun, but the problem is that 15bil isn't that much on the market…
Also, how would you go about ******* the market up? It's a pretty big and amorphous thing to take on. The idea of "buying every item of type X" would only work for some pretty low-end T1 stuff, and no-one would really care…

I think its more of a question what to do in eve in general rather than what to do with your money since u seem bored. In my mmo experience at some point u see everything there is to see in a mmo and the thing that keeps u playing is good company, attachment to a corp etc. So either quit and find something else or make/join a good friendly fun corp.
At least for me ppl keep me hooked to a game more than the game itself
