If you could own ONE company

Does owning a company require you to run it?

Not always you can hire a CEO and maintain chairman of the board, or you can be the CEO and chairman so its all up to you if you want to run things and keep an eye on everything or put your trust in someone else and hope they dont drive the company in the ground.

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).

We'll see who's laughing when fusion becomes practical...and it WILL.

100% may be a bad idea, but you bet the energy companies are investing in alternatives...

I would own Union Aerospace Corporation. Fun toys, plus evil. How cool would that be?

Id like the be the lead guy at the RIAA so I could fire each and every scum sucking person there.

Costco for its excellent business ethics.

Or Walmart so I could turn it into an ethical company while still raking in bajillions.

They own a bunch of crap, including Taco Bell
