Probably close to 500,000. Most of it would go toward a scholarship program for underprivileged students who excel academically

I'd buy 1000 black dildos and send it to them

I'd partner with some other private and corporate donors to get an on campus stadium finally built there and to replace as many of the t-buildings as possible with real classroom buildings.

I would be very generous. There amount would depend on their needs. In excess of 10 million though.

Thanks to forced busing, my old high school looks like Eastside High from "Lean on Me" before Joe Clark got there. So $0.

$84
Long story, but I basically told the AP that if I ever did give any money, it would be a "frick you" amount.

Zero to the HS. They'd just waste it, bump up Administrator salaries, or begin a program that would require continued funding after my gift was used, meaning they'd want more taxes from taxpayers.
Some of the teachers, though, would get a very nice bonus every year. Qualifiers would be those who gave a damn about actual student learning, the ones who successfully teach their students basic math skills, reading, writing, spelling, etc.
I would fund a life skills class on how to fill out a job application, acceptable modes of speech and dress in the workplace, how to balance a checkbook, basic IRS withholding and 1040 filing info, retirement plans, the importance of a good credit rating, and how to set up a personal budget based first on necessities, then needs, then wants.
I would also set up an after-school fund to get students trained and certified in trades like electrician, welder, plumber, mechanic, carpenter, hairdresser/barber, etc. Some kids aren't cut out for college, but they can still make a decent living.

Would give $500k to my high school. Much more to LSU in general. Enough for a complete remodel or rebuild of buildings in the quad where the majority of my classes were to help improve the Humanities and social sciences department.

Probably in the $1mil range. I am proud of my high school and enjoyed my time there.
Oh. And I would still have $124 million after donating.

Nothing. I have already been giving them money via property taxes.
If I am going to do something charitable, I would look at food pantries and perhaps a couple of scholarships to help kids through college. Otherwise, I would to those types of things as I felt moved to do such.
