Just buy one ticket to a Taylor Swift concert and you're already a billion dollar richer

The problem is that it's so much money that you can clear out the inventory of almost anything you would buy while only chewing a few percent off the bankroll. Provided you can close on them in time, buying up some high end houses, or just a whole lot of land, is probably your best bet. Being a cash deal on your end helps move the paperwork faster. They're also durable goods that don't need a warehouse to be stored, and don't need any maintenance for a while.

I shop at Burgess.

Then you have to pay to berth it somewhere, and for maintenance because your boat touches salt water. Land will just sit there until you can flip it, though you do have some property taxes and insurance. A handful of acres around Beverly Hills will do it.

I feel like I could easily spend that in microtransactions on some scummy mobile game.

Since buying and giving in permament use is not gifting, I can go with that option.

I'll buy 3 yachts. Pre-paid.

I'll just pay someone 100 million to punch the genie

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.

Give it all away anyway. Screw that genie, wealth hoarding jerk. At worst he kills you and you leave a saintly legacy.

[–] leopold@lemmy.kde.social 0 points 4 months ago

seems better to just spend the 100M like he wants and then just give the remaining 900M away.

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I'll pay for college for a large number of people and pay a lawyer to defend my action as not "giving it away."

[–] WarlordSdocy@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just make them pay you a dollar for the service. Now it's not giving it away since you are technically getting something out of it.

"Can I invest in crypto"

Easy.

First buy up a bunch of housing east of the California fault line and then with the billion get nuclear missiles that I can use to trigger the fault and push California off creating a new coast line and water front property for a brand new tech center of the world.

If I have any left over I can look at maybe getting a space crystal that rapidly grows in water to create a new island that true foreigners won't be able to step on without hurting themselves.

You got to learn from the best.

Using AWS already fits into rule #3.

Just buy all the Star Citizen goodies

[–] Catsrules@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Can I just keep the 100 million? I don't think I need a billion.
