1. 21 billion is a lot of isk, but I do have a few ideas about what I'd do with it. For starters, I'd pay back everyone I can possibly remember who has ever helped me in Eve. I was a serious carebear when I started, and it was only through generous financial donations and advice from concerned corpmates that I didn't ragequit within the first 3 months. I'd like to be just as generous in return.
Secondly, buy lots of nice pretty ships, and put them to good use. Finally buy myself the marauder I trained for but never bought. Buy the skillbooks for the lovely Nidhoggur and actually get one. Then get myself a variety pile of ships and go pvp in style  . Would be nice.
When I get bored of that, go buy a bunch of POS mods and find myself a nice, lonely little wormhole somewhere and build myself an island paradise amongst the stars.
2. I've always wanted to go on a nice long tour of Eve, maybe taking a nice T2 ship or maybe even a battleship, and traveling from one end of the universe to another. Every system I can get to. Hisec, lowsec, nullsec. See the sights, and meet all sorts of people. If there's one thing that has always enraptured me about Eve, it's the feeling of absolute freedom it gives you. I can go anywhere, fly anything, just cruise around amongst the heavens. I love it. Having the isk to actually do it would be a dream come true. Barring isk falling from...somewhere... I doubt it will actually ever happen. Losing all the ships in nullsec would get too expensive 
3. The biggest mistake I have ever done was just settle down and go with the easiest thing to do. My time in Eve has had plenty of ups and downs, but more often than not, I've just rolled over and gone with the flow. Dreams of being a pirate? Can't, don't have a steady isk flow. Want to just roam wormhole space? Sorry, don't have the time. Want to make my own corp and maybe work my way into carving out some of my own nullsec? Too much work. Excuses, excuses, and so I wound up running lots of missions and being very bored for a long while. If I could go back in time, I would slap myself in the face and demand that I simply go out and have fun. Screw the results. Currently in the process of fixing this, but it was a lot of wasted time.
4. My best (but still very pathetic) advice to anyone in Eve, especially new people, would be simply to enjoy the game. It is a game, after all, you're supposed to have fun. Don't like what you're doing? Go do something else, anything else. Even if you crash and burn trying it, at least you can say you tried. Don't make the damn thing a job. Fly what you want, when you want, where you want, and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. My .02 isk.
Sorry for taking up so much space!
