Hmm - alright I have nothing to do, im not borred of the game or anything. But I got a few billions and I don't know what to do with them, it's 2.8 Bil. I don't really need anything I got plenty of Battleships etc. Most T2 BPO's are more and the ones I can aford don't really make much profit. Does anyone have any good Ideas of what I should do next?
Please dont troll this thread, of flame me etc.

You should start The Human Fund(tm). It would be a charitble foundation that teaches noobs/trial-ers how to survive and thrive in eve. Encouraging them to find their niche.

Well, you would certainly be a "Godfather" type for a whole lot of (hopefully) appreciative noobs. Perhaps you could call in favors. Or, after they've figured out what they're doing, they could recoup what they've gotten from you.
Maybe just being on the forefront of actually _progressing_ the eve universe forward despite all of the nay-sayers and griefers and whiners will mean something beyond profit to ya.
just a thought. but hey, it's christmas. :)

You can always give some to me. I'd be extremely happy to take it off your hands.
Perhaps you can start a corp with some other rich players and buy a really good bpo together. Then split the profits. You could really make LOAAADS, and have fun with your peers while doing it.
Or get yourself a carrier or a titan.

You could take a page out of Scrooge's book.
Sorry lol, if i was in your position, i'd simply mess around killing people in 0.0sec space (Not that i can ;o), you can do near enough anything you want to do with that kinda money (Within reason of course).

*cough*cough*
*clears throat*
Dear Santa,
My name is Evit, and i've been a very good Amarran boy this year. i have not pirated anyone, cried for nerfs, stolen ore from someone else's can, or usedany bad language in public channels.
Because i've been such a very well-behaved boy, i'm hoping you'll indulge me in my Christmas wish, and transfer many many ISK into my wallet, so that i might be able to buy myself a shiny new ship to fly around in, or perhaps advance my education a bit further.
Thank you so much for all the wonderful things you left for me under my Christmas tree in the past. Please give my best to Mrs. Claus, and the elves, and please fly safe tonight.
Sincerely,
Evit

Heck, I'd know what to do with 20B
And no, I'm not even an industrialist.
Investing in roleplay events can be spendy, but well worth it, I guess. (I'm still working on my first)

I'd buy all of the ammunition you possibly could through the market....say for an entire region, specifically a popular one like the starting systems areas. Suck up all the noobie hybrid ammo and missles. Then I'd sit in the help channel and begin to charge double to everyone who needs it.

Well you didn't specify what you'd already done thus far, so here are a couple of ideas:
- Get a freigher and use the cash to do some serious high-volume trading.
- Get a dreadnought and go throw a few wrenches into some wheels in low sec.
- Try to fly from one end of the EVE universe to the other.
- Find a small corp of relatively new people who have just started up and go help them out. Sponsor them, advice, whatever. (If you want I know a corp that could use help  ).
- Get a blockade runner (assuming you can fly a viator or something) and go blockade running past gate camps with high value goods in your hold, just for fun.
And if you're really looking for a challenge, make yourself an alt and start fresh all over like a n00b again...
PS: If you liked the advice, I'm open for donations. Not the 'can I have your stuff/billions' type thing, just a stipend to help out my corp...

You could join me in a venture i thought up a few months ago. A credit union of sorts. With all kinds of rating systems / rules / regulations / interest rates etc.
It is a high risk venture, however being an Entrepreneur, and making a name for oneself, not to mention designing an entire new profession would be quite good.
My idea never left the planning stages as the person who offered to design my database quit the game. Extra capital on investment is always helpfull, and only a small percentage of your isk would be required to start. So, if the business did go sour, losses would be minimal.
If the business takes off, the capital can be increased, members can be hired for debt collection, and your billions can be increased 10 fold.
Give me a holler in-game if you are interested. Here is the original post for you to peruse:
Linkage
Of course, I dont expect nor want you to give me your capital to invest. What i do want is a partnership, with a split investment and split returns.
Give me a yell either here or in-game if this tickles your fancy

"Does anyone have any good Ideas of what I should do next?"
Well, to narrow possible selection... what do you like to do in EVE? ^^
(on completely unrelated sidenote i wouldn't personally scoff at donation of some 70-80 mil if someone doesn't know what to do with their isk after swimming in it ;.;

My suggesstion:
Step 1: Create a new corp. Take the time to train so you can have people of all races in there.
Step 2: Make sure you have good production skills trained up, and purchase a number of BPOs. Specifically, pick up 1 BPO of each good frigate of each race, and one of the general-purpose cruiser of each race, along with BPOs for the mid-sized guns of each size, 1 and 10 MN AB bpos, armor repper and shield boosters, everything that a noobie could ask for for fitting the ships you have BPOs for.
Step 3: Between yourself and a few very trusted friends, produce a decent supply of these things. 3-4 of each frig, 2-3 of each cruiser, and enough guns/modules to fit them.
Step 4: While performing step 3, have your alts, and alts of the other people helping produce your stuff (They're very trusted, right?), get into as many starting corps as possible, and recruit newbies, taking them out and doing mining and lvl 1 missioning with them, getting to know if you want them in your corp, and if you do, have them join, and use the resources you're producing to provide a solid base of resources for them to get started in the game.
Unforturnately, at 5 mil, I'm a long ways away from ever seeing this come to fruition. Ah well, I can dream, right?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the oth |

Perhaps you should look into investing in profitable market speculation? Of course that could lose you everything you have, but...
