What would you do with $100 billion?

[Evadman]

I would rent out some huge place for an AT meet. I would fly everyone to Chicago for a week of fun. There would be 100k awesome rigs, and we could have a sweet lan party. We could all get hammered, and could finally count how many women are here. Of course, you could keep the computers that you used. I would also invite Jerboy. Just for sh!ts and giggles.

Then, I would give everyone 1 million dollars before they left. Except Nik. For Nik, I would make sure that it REALLY was his room

30 billion in bond market index,
30 billion in TIPs index,
10 billion in high interest savings account and live off the interest of my savings account.

why? with that kind of money you can be the trend and really rape the little guys.

i have no ambitions beyond living a comfortable life and retiring early.

you should be able to live comfortably with 100B without any sort of investment strategy.

with 100B, you can't help but be comfortable. those shieks building designer islands and 1 mile high towers to keep all their money in, they don't have 100B.

If no one knew I had that money, I'd very quietly buy one of every possible lottery ticket combination throughout the US during one week.

"New York man wins every lottery in the country!"

If I could keep a lid on it so that the media never found out how I did it, I'd have a ball convincing people that "I'm really from the future." I could perpetrate the biggest hoax of all time! With the other $90billion or so, I'd use a lot of it to help other people.

(Plus, since most states use the proceeds of lotteries for things like education or helping the elderly, I'd just think of it as an indirect way of donating it.)

Best reply I've seen yet.

After this goes on for awhile we should start up a poll for the top 3 answers.

Can you imagine the uproar if you did something like that though? All the people who've played the lotto religiously for years and years getting mad because someone from the future with advanced knowledge of the answers won? Or, the people who have to split the grand prize with you??

Or another route: "God gave me the winning numbers. He told me that he would provide money for me to start my own church and the one true religion. He also told me that people practicing the following religions need to convert to my new religion, else burn in hell."

why do the work when you can just buy the tool?

 

[sdifox]

Oh oh, how about I buy the Toronto Maple Leafs and move them to Hamilton. Anything to make it a viable club. And fire the entire management from coach up.

buy back the Maple Leaf Garden and turn it into a museum, maybe even move the hall of fame there.

wouldnt it make more sense to buy a private jet and have it tricked out?


i would give some away, help friends and family out and end up living well off the interest. end up getting bored after a while, binge spend a bit and try my hand at investing, losing parts of it here and there... then go back to living off the interest.

Make Jerry Buss an offer he can't refuse to buy his stake in the Lakers. Plus a whole bunch of other stuff.

Bulk beef?

 

[SSSnail]

Things to do...

1. Count them to make sure I don't miss a cent.
2. Set up shop to sell beef online, bulk. Also delivery to any place.
3. Pay someone to beat up Syringer to finish that story.
4. Change the damn brakes on the trailer that was going to hit Nate.
5. Build bridges that connect all the continents, this is actually an investment.
6. Clone Parish Hilton, Nicole Richie and Britney Spears, host a death match PPV style; this is also an investment.
7. Pay someone to invent time machine, pay someone else to use that time machine to go back in time and find the mofo that "invented" rap.
8. While the time machine is up, pay someone else to go back in time and find the bastard that started religion.
9. Pay someone to build my own self sustaining eco bubble, fuck you all and your global warming and pollutions, this sphere will be flying or floating too by the way.
10. Colonize Mars, this is another investment


Meh... too many things to do, so little money. OH, and of course 7 chicks. Because no one else said it.

Donate 25%, Put 50% in a trust fund for my kids, 25% for me (I'll probably live off the interest).

The Government wouldn't allow me to have that much cash. I would set fire to the ozone layer.....or something appropriately insane.
