I know what I'd do with $4bn. And yes I'd sell whatever I've come up with so far in my life for it.
Hell, I'd do it for $4m. I can build a nice ecohome with a massive library and a vegetable garden and nice views for that, what, £2.6m in real money? I've got more ideas in me, and if the stipulation is that the stories I've begun so far can't be used (even the ones that never saw the light of day) then fine, I'll have more ideas, I'll create new worlds and new characters, and if I can't I'll just paint all I like in a massive studio instead of writing. But with that kind of money I'll be set for life.
Quick question. Is 4 billion in England 4 million million or 4 thousand million? I've always heard a billion in UK English is a million million (which is a trillion in American English). If it is a million million, then do yins get confused when reading stories with billions or trillions?
