Hey Tyra! If I was filthy rich I would pay off all of my debt as well as the rest of my family and my husbands. I of course would buy a new car, cuz my daughter is embarrassed of it and she is only three. I guess I would have been too. It seems like once you are a mom, you forget about what is embarrassing and be happy you have a car at all. After that was taken care of I would try to focus on my community. I would love to buy one family a year a house and help them with bills, so that they don't have to go through everyday with the same desperation as I do. I don't know what it would be like to never have to worry about keeping my electricity on, or buying groceries for the week. I think that it is great too help children over seas but I would love to see that our children in our own back yard are being taken care of. I am a daycare provider which I probably would not still be if I was rich, because it is my dream to go back to school and be a teacher. So to make the parents feel better about daycare I would give each of them enough money to pay daycare expenses for a couple years. Last but not least I would buy beautiful clothes for myself and children, cuz I don't think I can remember the last time we bought something that wasn't on sale. It would be incredible to be able to walk in the store and purchase whatever I wanted, with out having to feel guilty cuz I was going to buy my kids the latest toy of the week and I was selfish and spent the money on myself. The last thing I would probably do with the money would be to adopt a couple more kids, because I want more children. I know that I am perfectly able to make my own, so why not take a couple children with no other options.

Unlike everyone else ill be brief... id buy a bunch of clothes and give the rest to my daddy.

First of all, I have to say to you Tyra, You go girl! I watch your show and AMNT (religiously) and what you do for people on your show and for those girls, is so wonderful! Helping people to achieve their dreams is what this life is about. So, if I were filthy rich, that is what i would do. I have this burning desire inside me, to see the world, and find some way to change it. To make a difference, i hope to be able to someday travel to a country where people are dying physically and emotionally and give them life, whether its by building homes, administering medicine or teaching reading and writing skills, i want to give back. My life has by far not been monetarily blessed compared to all my friends or family growing up, and my parents still drive a broken down ford aerostar van (with 4 kids at home and seven total) but i know that i was VERY blessed to even have a home, clothes, food and opportunities. So i would use my money to help my family, (get my parents a new car and home) pay for the rest of my siblings to go to college, and then i would find an organization or a great person to get to gether with and provide those opportunities to those in the world who deserve them, but do not have the means themselves to achieve them. That is what i would do if i was filthy rich.

Argggg... i have to rewrite everything again.. ...
ok.. so if i were filthy rich, i would donate money to charity and to the poor, to church, help the people who lives outside the streets of new york in the winter, give them food and clothes. I would go to countries and help children who lives in shacks and covered up in mud wearin the same clothes everything and build small houses or apartment for them to live in. I would make them feel safed and make them have faith.. to believe that there is someone out there other than GOd who can help..and that miracles do exist... and wood recommend them to go to church everyday to give thanks to God...then i would give money to my parents.. because they worked so hard coming to this country... startin so small... washing dishes or just basically... work so hard and their managers or boss would treat them unfairly and wouldn't care. They would have 2 different jobs to support us and everytime they tell me how they came here and where their hands and feet has been.. it makes me cry because to be where they are right now... it makes me never want to quit.. everrr... which is why im going to school trying to be the best that i can so that i can pay back for everything that they have ever given me in life. I even want them to live with me and they wouldnt have to pay a penny living in my house... thats what i would do if i were filthy rich. Oh yeah, also build schools and stuff in countries...then i would buy shoes for myself and redocorate my room and make my closet bigger :-D... i doubt i would spend a lot on myself.. i have everything that i want that most people would die to have... luv ya tyra...

if i were rich.... i wood donate so much money to charity.. to the poor... help people who lives on the streets and give them good and clothes.. i would go to my country where kids live in shacks and covered in mud, wearin the same dirty clothes everyday and build them small houses... good enough for them to be clean and for them to have water food and safety.... i would go to that town and i would make the town look better.I would give them moeny to build a school for the poor who cant afford to pay for it and maybe a dancing studio or anything that would entertain them. After im done, then i would give my mom and dad money as a thanx for giving me everything that i have always wanted in life and to show them that i truely appreciate everything in life even though i may not have EEEEEEEEVERYTHING ... but its more than what others have. Finally, if i still have money left... i would buy shoes and clothes :-D and Redecorate my room and make my closet bigger!!! :-D luv u tyra...

I am a single parent of 4 always been poor never had a chance to provide like I wanted to for my children so if I was rich I would give them everything that they wanted. People always say that they wont do this but if you could only do the min. for your kids for all these years and nothing more you would want to give them everything they never had so thats what I would do.

IF I WERE EVER FILTHY RICH...I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORK SO DARN HARD TOWARDS BUILDING MY STUDIO UP AGAIN...SINCE MY STROKE IN 2OOO, IT HAS BEEN A TRYING TIME IN ITSELF. MY FORMER CO-PRODUCER LIVES IN TAMPA, FLORIDA WHERE I HAD MY STROKE AND HE HAS EVERYTHING I NEED TO BEGIN WORKING ON MY THIRD CD. TYRA, IF I MAY BE SO BOLD TO ASK, CAN I PERFORM ON YOUR SHOW FOR YOU AND YOUR AUDIENCE, IF YOU ARE EVER SEEKING NEW TALENT TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE DO EXIST! I WOULD DO THIS COMPLETELY FREE.!!! ( NOT INCLUDING FLIGHT FROM JACKSONVILLE, FL FOR ME AND MY PARTNER, WHO IS A HUGE ALICIA KEYS FAN) HOW I MISS SINGING IN MY OWN SPACE, PEOPLE REALLY DON'T REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH MONEY AND TIME GOES INTO A PRODUCT FOR THEIR PLEASURE. I WORK 64 TO 80 HOURS A WEEK AND WITH FIOUR KIDS: A CAT (JASMYN, A DOG, MOM-MEE, AND TWO TURTLES, MAP AND TAIL) BETWEEN THEM AND MY PARTNER WHO DOES WORK, DON'T GET ME WRONG. I TRY TO DO GOOD BY HIM. HE HAS HIS OWN DAY WHERE WE DO WHAT EVER HE WANTS TO DO, WHICH IS MONDAY. I HAVE FINISHED 2 CD'S: THE FIRST- ENCRYPTED LOVE, THE SECOND, sYMBOLS OF LOVE AND THE THIRD ONE I HAVE INTITED "SEXINESS" SPEAKS FOR IT'S SELF.I WOULD LIKE TO BE AN ARTIST YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHOW, THOUGH I AM AN INDEPENDENT ATRIST, I AM NOT AFFRAID OF PEOPLE HEARING MY UNIQUNESS IN MUSIC. I HOPE THIOS DOESENT DISCOURAGE YOU IN CONTACTING ME AT YOUR EARLIEST IN REGUARDS TO THIS GREAT OPPERTUNITY.

SINCERELY,
TEGO (TAY-GO) LOVE

If I was filthy rich.....there would be so many things I would personally want for myself (of course). I wouldn't want the hottest car because I'm not really a car person but my house..... It would be the biggest thing on the block and I would want the same for my family. But one thing I would like to do is give back to the community and make sure my money is going to a good use... To help the kids who are in poverty and make sure they have a good education. I was fortunate enough to have not grown up in extreme poverty but what I saw was enough and I don't want kids to be surrounded by that or see that as the only way of life because its really not.

If I were filthy rich I would invest the money in such a way that I could help young people from third world countries who truly want an education. I would work as a ambassador for our country in a one on one basis by bringing these children into my home and providing them all their physical needs and screening families who are interested in doing the same thing. There are children who give up their homes, families, and even subsist on minimal food just to get and education. I would search for these children and provide them with the opportunity. I have already done this with four students, my heart ache is that I can no longer do it because both my husband and I are retired and on a fixed income. So far my students have come from central america. I would like to be able to do it for other countries but if I had to limit it, I would have to say it would be countries I am aware of and familiar with.

If I was rich I would pay off our debt and our house and try and pay back my parents for all they ahve done for us in the past few years. Then I would go to college for Nursing... I have always wanted to do that - but with the cost of college now, it is not even an option. I would also set up a saving acct. For my daughter so she has money to go to college.

i have a picture to show so can you give me your mail add so i can forward it.i want you to investigate about it.am a great fan of you.

If I Was Filthy Rich,

First and Farmost impotantly I Would enrollin child services and go to college to earn a degree in child service's and actually Move on helping people see that abuse is everywhere you look. I see ton's of people turning their heads to it and Opening a facility for parents and children to learn new methods of restriction's for them and their child. My dream in life was and still is to have a children's home to fight for those children that do not have a voice to be rescued from hate and hurt and see what having and being part of afamily and to be loved really feels like.
I believe as it is said "the children are OUR future!" If everyone could see and work and try hard to be sure that our future is cared for and not neglected you would see everything change.
Children trying to help everything and everyone and the world growing together as a whole and healthy. To Just Focus On Our children and love them hold them and make them special not just to us but to themselves to carry this on for everyone's future no one would be left behind in our future their future or the time to come. God Bless And I am always praying for those children that do not even know what it feels like to be told they are loved and to be hugged.

Hi tyra,
just want to say how much i love your shows and u are an inspiration to many.If i were filty rich,i'd open a few homeless shelters in my country.It breaks my heart to see many homeless people and our current government cannot see getting them off the streets as a priority.
I would help the street children to gain an education and rebuild homes for families who lost everything to fires. Finally,i'll ensure that the people i love never want even the basic necessities in life. As long as my needs are satisfied,the rest of the money can be divided among various charities. I'm a simple person and i do not need to be neck deep in riches to be contented. My joy come from helping others or brightening someone elses day.

If I were filthy rich, I would be able to do so much more for the feral & stray cats & kittens that I trap and rescue, and all of the people that I try to help out, in any way that I am able to. Being on Social Security Disability, and sixty-one years old, it is so difficult to do very much at all, although sometimes I do without, to provide for my animals and others, and I could sure help a lot more people, especially the elderly, with food and greeting cards. I would be able to provide a real home for myself and my own cats. I never had my own home, and I would buy a Toyota Forerunner, to replace my twenty-one year old car.

If I was filthy rich I would make sure THAT MY MOM WOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORK ANOTHER DAY IN HER LIFE B/C SHE HAS DONE SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR ME AND MY BROTHER AS A SINGLE MOM THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE and I FEEL THAT SHE DESERVES MORE THAN JUST A DAY TO BE CELEBRATED B/C EVEN WITH ALL THE MONEY ISSUES WE HAVE SHE STILL MANAGES TO KEEP ME LIVING AND IN SPORTS ESPECIALLY MY EXPENSIVE TRAVELING SOCCER TEAM!! SO THANK U SO MUCH MOM I LOVE YOU AND JUST KNOW I AM SOOO GREATFUL OF ALL THE THINGS YOU HAVE AND WILL DO FOR ME!!

AND YES THIS IS 100% TURE IM NOT BEING FAKE!!

If i was filthy rich, I pray to God it does not get to my head and I remain humble as my upbringing, because when I die that money would not go with me anyway. What I would do is, pay off my college loans, have a college savings fund for my three kids, pay my other debts off, pay my parents debts off, fix their unfinished home and set them up for retirement, buy them a motorhome so they can travel the US like I promised them when I was little, pay my mother in-laws hospital bills, help out my family in Mexico, buy our dream home, and give to charities in my community.

Well some celebrities are acutally helping the world out and some are not.

If I were filthy rich I would give most of my money to the people who need it, like the people in Africa, and other thrid world countries. I would also try to build them hospitals, proper health care systems, schools, seeds to plant crops and a healthy water system. I do not see why money makes you more happy. Why have all this money and not help out people that are less forunate. Since there is so much povery I think each celebrity should contribute to make the world a better place.

If i was filthy rich, first I would pay to get my father his kidney transplant that he needs and diabetic care; Pay off my parents' debts; Buy the dream house fully furnished that my husband, my kids and i want; save some of it for my 3 kids to have for their college tuition; take my whole family on a vacation; give some to charities; save some for later.....there are many things that i would do.......

if i was filthy rich i would set myself up and get back on my feet. i would finally get my own place and not have to worry about living with family members all the time. being pregnant and without the help of the baby's father is hard. especially when your paying on student loans and other lifetime bills.

HI Tyra,

If I were filthy rich I would help my nephew find the best doctors to tell us what is wrong. WE have been in the dark about my nephews actual set back. We were told it could be autism but they arent sure. Not knowing is holding him back from going the the propper school, getting the correct physical and speech therapy. He is now 5 years old and doctors don know anything. I would also help my small business grow. Buy my parents a house here and one in Italy. I would get a walk in closet like Mariah Carey has.

Tyra if you can help me with any of these things please let me know.

Thank You,
Veronica

TYRA, My question to you is when are you coming to Orlando, Fl? We love you here and would like to see a taping of your show. I just had a baby so not sure when daddy and I can come and visit you in the big apple but we would love to see you.

If i was rich i really dont know what i would do excactly i guess i would just follow my heart at that time . because there is always something or someone that has a need.
