i'd own coca cola cause it's one of the biggest companies in the world. then i'd sell part of it and/or buy the following companies:
i guess MSFT so i could finally create a good product that comes out on time
apple so i could finally put a radio in an otherwise perfect product (aka ipod)
google cause google is going to take over the world
bmw for thier great mototcycles
possible an avionics company such as boieng ot lockheed martin to i could have my own plane.

Apple (AAPL): fair amount of cash, but also an interesting company with facinating developments.

ExxonMobil, using any cash reserves and rather large loans to buy out Honda and Toyota. Then jack gas up to about $7.50 per gallon. Then Profit!

Funwise? Shelby, Saleen, Roush, Steeda, something like that.

Good one on Saleen, the S7 is baaaaaaaaaaaadass.

Vivid is weak sauce. If you want to own a real porn company,check out Private.

If you want the most money yes. But let's say owning Google at that point money doesn't matter; it's the fact that you're slowly taking over the world.

Ooo! Good one!
I was going to say the US, but since I'll own that anyway within 20 or 30 years, I'll take Exxon-Mobil. Oh man, that'd be fun to mess with. 100% of R&D into renewable energy- change the world, and make an obscene amount of money doing it.

Or go broke once you find out spending $100 billion a year didn't do much for finding renewable energy (that would change the world).

Hmm which ever one would sell for the most. Then forget about any financial problems and go become a chef or something.

Blizzard. First thing I would do is nerf rogues so badly they all quit playing, then I would redesign the pvp system and gameplay to support FFA pkilling with multiple factions.
