427 views

You’re all respectable businesspeople and I’m sure, like us, you have one ambition just lingering in the back of your mind; to eventually make your first £ billion.
Now this is quite a bit of money, so when you finally get hold of your cheque, what could you possibly spend it on? We at SCD Marketing have compiled 8 of many possible ways to spend your hard-earned cash.
All figures used in this article are approximations, averages or true figures taken from various sources throughout the Internet. This article is for novelty entertainment purposes and no data should be used for serious purposes. Some figures and data have been rounded up or down.
- Remember the old penny-chew sweets? If you were an addict then feel free to spend your Cash on 100,000,000,000 (one hundred billion) of them. That’s about 200,000,000,000 grams, or 50,000,000 of those little white paper bags you used to get as a child. For anyone who’s slightly out of touch on that, it’s about 50,000 one-ton cars.
- Like watching the Superbowl? Why don’t you get in on the action and spend your billion on just over 6 hours 50 minutes worth of advertising time during the live broadcast. At $ 83,000 per second, you best make the most of it.
- Diamonds are a girls best friend so I suppose that would make Gold a girls most favourable acquaintance? With the price of Gold at the time this was written, you could slide over a £ 1,000,000,000 cheque and receive about 83,640 kilograms worth of pure Gold, or 83.64 tons. That’s about 1.83% of all the Gold held in Fort Knox.
- Cars! Where would any self-respecting Billionaire gentleman be without an array of sports-cars? Slap a billion pounds on the counter and you could walk out with 3298 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren cars at 435,000 Euros a piece. If you’re more of a down to earth Billionaire you could look into buying some good old Ford Fiesta’s, at £ 250 for a 1994 model you could be wheeling out over 4,000,000 of them. Best have a large Garage though; this number of cars would take up just over 9 square miles of space, 9 times the area of the City of London.
- Being a Billionaire requires a lot of hard work and late nights, in these situations Caffeine is an Entrepreneurs best friend. With the average price of Red Bull being £ 1, that’s around one billion cans of the stuff. At 250ml per can that’s around 54,992,308 Gallons, containing 80 million grams (80,000kg) of Caffeine, enough to cause a fatal caffeine overdose in 16,000,000 average size adults.
- Every well organized Businessman needs stationary in his offices. Pop down to the local stationers and you could wheel out just under one billion Paperclips to make sure your work is all neat and tidy. Best get the copy-boy to come down and help you too though; this much stationary would weigh about 1,000 tons and fill 56,503 Wheelbarrows.
- There’s two parts to a well balanced diet and of course, you’re going to need some food to keep yourself going. Pay a visit to your local McDonald’s and grab yourself 502,512,562 Big Mac burgers. Pace yourself though, this many burgers would contain 247,738,693,066 (247 billion) calories, enough to provide a days energy for 110,106,085 adults. We’d recommend you get a more varied diet however, since this many Big Macs would contain about 1,105 tons of Salt.
- The Internet is an integral part of Business communication in the 21st century, therefore it’s vital that you get Business broadband installed in your corporate offices. You could play it safe and invest your entire Billion pounds into making sure you have stable Internet access. At £ 19.79 per month for an 8mbps line, you would be secured with Internet access for the next 4,210,880 years, that’s 4210 Millennia. We’re sure your future generations will appreciate it.
