Ill show up to dealership row and just start buying out car dealerships until I hit 100m and have that done in an afternoon
Bad investment, you can’t resell them for nearly as much and you’ve contributed to the automobile industry that is lobbying hard against climate change policy
I’d start buying up mid-sized companies and reorganizing them as worker co-ops. Doing some long-term good while not violating the terms of the contract
If you’re just after the money, do as every billionaire looking to launder some money does and buy art.
Seems pretty easy, buy 100mil of gold bullion. It’s around 3100 lb (1400kg) and is relatively small. I think you could hit it under a bed or couch or two. Probably fit it into a couple awkward corners in your closet. Use one as a paper weight.
I like this one because, even though it’s a hypothetical, I always think these scenarios are going to involve me getting shafted somehow and it turns out they never had that billion and they just wanted you to experience having 100 mil for a short time so you know how much you lost and laugh while watching you piss it all away on things you didn’t even necessarily want.
Your way has a nice insurance policy to it if they weren’t good for the billion.
You can buy gold (and other precious metals) as exchange traded commodities, no reason to have them physically delivered to your home and risk damaging your floor.
I’ll just pay someone 100 million to punch the genie
Warhammer!!
Genie: There are 5 rules…
I mean c’mon genie, that barely covers my Kharadron, Drukhari, and Votan dream collections.
Crash the dollar by entering the whole amount in the stock market? Or are stocks also considered gambling?
Just buy like every house lol. Actually just put in an offer for any house for a 100 mil.
sorry no, credit score is bad so we refuse to sell to you
I would guess they accept cash offers regardless of credit score?
That’s up to the seller, so generally yes.
I would’ve thought that this could be quite simple.
- A few flights in a private jet, or long-term purchasing for the whole month to take you wherever you want.
- Several $250k-500k cars in each location to take you wherever you want
- A private show from a famous band can set you back a few million. Do this each day.
- Go to Vegas and get in a pissing content with some rich cunt where you send expensive drinks to each others table, until one folds. That’ll be a few million each night.
- Trump spent a ton on sex, so high class hookers?
- A few ads across multiple providers to promote something
- Prize fights can be set up quickly, and have the best in combat sports ready in 30 days. Offer $1m per division for the winner, and do it across maybe 4-5 sports, pay for TV and streaming, set up a venue, and you’ll probably blow through it all.
Buy a/some 737 and start an airline. It’s easy to spend $100m.
The lead times on aircraft manufacturing is measured in years though. It’s so bad that in many cases airlines will lease aircraft from other airlines to the point that it’s all meaningless
You can still spend the required money even if the product isn’t delivered.
Honestly modern finance brings us to a point where you really have to ask what the criteria is to actually “spend” the money, given how many businesses that exist purely moving numbers around on spreadsheets and not actually doing anything tangible in the real world
Single use luxury cars is my favorite one
I would spend all 100M to get ads put up all over the country of people who have wronged me and my loved ones. They’ll just be like really awful pictures of them with really petty captions like “doesn’t help carry suitcases”, “laughed at a disabled person”, “sneezed too loud that one time”. That’ll show them.
Just buy all the Star Citizen goodies
Can I buy 100MM in gold?
Lol, just buy one house in the US.
The national average house price in the US is about $300k, so you’d need to buy about 320 houses to spend the $100 million
I could make that work. 🤔
I’ll become the Oprah of houses. You get a house, you get a house, everyone gets a house.
Most homes in the US don’t break a million in up front cost, unless you’re buying in one of the very popular “reality warp” locations that are in absurdly high demand (SF Bay area, Redmond, Dallas, New York, etc).
True. Maybe… 3 houses instead?
Ever heard of this game called “Star Citizen”?
from 714 millions to 814 millions in one day. nice :D
Surely that will be enough for them to finally finish the game right? COPIUM
I don’t think that money is the issue any more, time and scope would be the issue. Lets see if 4.0 actually arrives this year
Would donations count as gifting? There are so many FOSS projects that could use the cash inflow.
If it doesn’t count, well, prepare for a deluge of hentai to show up in a month.
Yes. You can buy their support though.
I was thinking about not donating to charity but buying stuff directly and asking them for support to ship it. Basically that makes you buy and not gift. If you buy 1 gigaton of rice for Ethiopia (I have no clue how many people a gigaton of rice would feed and I also have no clue whether Ethiopians need any rice) from Costco, well, then you have spent the money on it. Fuck it, maybe buy a boat. A ferry to ship it all directly. Buy land and don’t gift but let workers work there. For free. For eternity. Oh you happen to pay them 50 times the average salary of their country? Well you’re probably a bad businessman but you’re not gifting. Pay the lawyers to make a bulletproof testament where you explicitly state that these poor fellas will never own the land but will for eternity be able to use it for free until the sun explodes.
And then bribe. Bribe away the heartache, bribe away the pain. Bribe the SCOTUS to retire. Bribe Putin to stop the war and fuck off. Bribe Trump to fuck off. Bribe Musk to get a vasectomy and fuck off. I mean you’re basically just lobbying at that point but we all know that that’s bribing and not gifting.
I also have no clue whether Ethiopians need any rice
The Ethiopian famine was 30 years ago. Not that they haven’t had troubles off-and-on since then.
I love that idea that you’d just go to your local Costco, say “One gigaton of rice please” and they give you a voucher to go to the front of the store where high value items are handed out after purchase.
Soooo easy, buy some “art” at an auction, probably take me two days.
If that isn’t gambling, what is?
Betting money on things. This is just buying something that costs waaaay more than it’s worth. It’s pretty close to money laundering, but not gambling. I don’t care if it holds any value, I just want to spend 100 mil fast. You can easily do that on one piece of art.
Easy. Buy 100 homes in my city. Become a landlord. Barely ask rent so it’s technically not gifting. Use my infinite money to maintain the homes so people have affordable decent housing. Profit for all!
Short time later your homes are in ruins and your broke from continuously fixing your houses.
Found the idle rent seeker, or worse, a bootlicker for idle rent seekers.
There is a reason why capitalists and socialists both hate landlords, they are a relic of feudalism.
You sound like you need a warm cookie and a glass of milk
You sound like you need a peasant’s revolution
You sound like you’re an asshole.
So when someone calls me a boot licker and other names I should smile and be happy? Good luck with that
You could always stop and wonder why they’re calling you a bootlicker, but most bootlickers are bootlickers because they lack the ability for introspection.
If you don’t wanna be insulted, don’t simp for the oppressors. I’d insult you if you said “I love absolutist monarchy!”
Nah, I guess tips will cover the repairs
Tips will cover the furnace or the shingles when they wear out?
Damn those would be some nice tips.
Always be sure to leave a good tip to your landlord/landlady
I do, it’s called rent is 5x more expensive than it needs to be.
What’s the difference between paying rent or leaving a tip (which is going to be used to cover expenses)?
I sincerely doubt that the maintenance bill for 100 houses is going to exceed a billion dollars any time in for foreseeable future.
Can I just keep the 100 million? I don’t think I need a billion.
I’ll take your billion.
Unfortunately you’re not spending my 100 million so you can get 1 billion.
This is the kinda selfless attitude the world needs.
