Rebuild all the schools in my local district? Set up a permanent endowment for the Freedom from Religion Foundation? Turn as much land into nature preserves as I can possibly afford?
Maybe these aren’t “things” you “buy” but it doesn’t take much creativity to blow a billion. I think I just blew a whole bunch of them.
At my last count there were about 30 schools in my county. That puts them at less than 34 million each. A quick google search places the cost of building a new middle school at between 30 and 125 million dollars. So…yeah. Rebuilding a school district would be a straightforward way to spend a billion dollars.

You’d never make it to a billion with that kind of attitude
