Pay my taxes and not rape children.
post
I have had the exact same dream. I shall note your username in case any of my crazy ideas is ever profitable enough to start a company lol
Take notes from Bioshock and don't build it underwater... And skip the whole genetic modification thing too, ig.
Turn myself in to a millionaire
Basically spend it all making militant resistance cells around the United States, enable them to operate independently via sourcing cnc machines, 3D printers, and hobbyist electronics, then provide financial incentives to targeting other billionaires' assets or persons and/or hate groups and right wing think tanks.
This will continue until I'm arrested, run out of funds, or succeed.
....then I'd buy a sammich.
What kind of sammich?
Yes! “Make 2500 Luigis” is the best answer.
What I do would be redacted here, but when I am done there would be no more billionaires.
It's fine, this isn't Reddit.
No, it's not. Posts encouraging violence (or mentioning that they will kill X) is against the community guidelines..

He'd probably wonder why I was in his house
99M in a trust fund for me, my immediate family, extended family and friends. We would live relatively modest and give generously.
901M would go to a wide assortment of charities and causes:
- Fund my local foodbank for the next 50 years. Perhaps even a dynasty trust.
- Tackle youth unemployment and unmet community needs through investing in non-market solutions. E.g. build greenhouses with raised beds in urban brownfield and greenfield property, hire local people to grow resilient local foods and donate them throughout the community. Some local old age homes had some complaints about food quality and budget and they wanted things like fresh ripe tomatoes. I'd given them 3 seasons worth for free and pay for the equipment, labour, insurance out of pocket. Local youth could get high school credits, jobs not just gardening, but designing and improve closed ag systems, plumbing, deep winter greenhouse design and engineering, logistics, everything. Good experience and spending money. Maybe turn into a market career for some.
Build a few multiplexes as high quality PassiveHousePlus and operate as self funded charity built and operated using only local labour for womans & homeless shelters
I have a few friends in social services and I guarenfuckentee a shitload of orphans and foster kids and poor kids supervised by children services would get new toys, clothes, shoes, bedding, pillows, christmas presents from a bad ass santa, art supplies, comic books, tuition, books, enrichment activity fees and more. Some have this through foster parents and public systems. Way too many don't.
I can't help everyone and even this money won't last long, but Imma go out swinging hard.
It depends on which billionaire I’m supposedly waking up. Sounds like a shitty job though.
Buy up all the media outlets, especially Fox, and ACTUALLY turn them into progressive propaganda outlets.
Once actual progressives are in power, Lobby for government with the teeth to break up my big media empire monopoly and prevent a new one from forming.
Make a trust in each state to have local news outlets with good journalists.
Fund something to help find and stomp out propaganda bot/slave centers in other countries.
Lobby to regulate the fuck out of AI to stop its use as a programmable propaganda slop machine.
First thing?
Probably buy my wife something nice.
Next, I would love to upgrade and spoil the homeless shelter behind my work. I always fantasize about being able to afford food, socks and blankets to distribute.
First selfish thing? Build a new computer.
I'd take my family and leave behind the shithole that is the United States. God, I hate it here because of Republicans.
Unfortunately, there are assholes everywhere.
Maybe, but at least other countries prosecute their rich and powerful when said rich and powerful person rapes kids/steals classified documents. Also, every other developed country is able to ensure their government is funded while giving every person health insurance.
First thing? Probably panic. Second thing? Probably try to wake myself up. Third thing? Probably try to find some rational way that I just got isekai’ed as a billionaire.
After it finally sank in, I’d probably consider lobbying for things before I lose touch with where I used to be. Right to repair, universal healthcare, UBI, etc…
Turn my country the fuck around so that public servants represent people and decisions are made to improve the lives of people.
You'd be fighting against other billionaires with established lobbying connections. I feel like you'd blow your billions and have nothing to show for it.
Maybe pay 500 musicians (generally my choice of music) x $20/hr x 3000 hours (about 1.5 person-years) (= $30 million) to write and record anything they want, but it has to be original and released into the public domain.
Exceptions could be made for derivatives of music already in the public domain.
Occasionally I might check on them for if they are composing, or composing and recording; and originality.
I might pay for novelty songs such as hard rock and heavy metal on horns; Suicide's Ghost Rider but replace synths with tuba and harmonica; nonagenarian socialist to do Kid Rock's Bawitdaba; Trump and Epstein look-a-likes do Nugent's Little Miss Dangerous; etc.
I was thinking this too like "I'd be the lobbyist you would want to be lobbying"
Start strategically: just buy your way into overturning money in politics. Fire with fire baby!!!
With a billion dollars?! I'm crying sad tears and laughing at the same time.
2 billion dollars of PAC money was spent in the 2024 presidential election.
That's a single year. One election cycle.
In order to overturn Citizen's United, you would need at least a couple of Supreme Court justices, too. So you need enough money to elect uncorrupted politicians to Congress, so that they can approve judges who are also not corrupt.
I think people HUGELY underestimate how much money flows into politics now that PACs are legal. Why the fuck else would Trump suddenly get interested in politics at his late stage in life?
Lots of folks would get their debt paid off.
Lots of folks would get fed real good.
Lots of folks would get seed money to make their thing or do their art/thing/whatever
Lots of folks would get to do some sick drugs.
Etc.
I’d just spend it all until I spread the wealth around.
Guillotine myself. I can't let myself be a hypocrite lol
I'd quit my job, buy a small house for my partner and I and give enough to my family that they wouldn't have to worry about money again.
With the rest, I'd set up a trust that donates 1% per year in microgrants to free software maintainers who apply to it. Similar to NLnet, but with no strings attached beyond continuing to maintain the project.
Then, with all my free time, I'd also work on free software.
Destroy capitalism by out competing everyone.
Dude right wouldn't it be wild if instead of taking as many nickels dimes and pennies as humanly and economically possible for any and every single purchase you just took like, still an insane life changing amount that would make you rich and were able to provide for your entire family on and put everyone else out of business?
"Turns out instead of taking 80% profit margins I got 30% instead and that's how I put Amazon out of business" meanwhile you're still able to be stinking rich with more than any human could possibly ever spend in 100 lifetimes.
I'd lobby politicians into bombing Israel, I think they need a turn.
Iran's doing that already.
Cutting off Israel will hurt the genociders even more.
If you're American, maybe run for President in 2028 on a "No to Israel" platform; put $100 million into it. Don't scare fellow Americans with extremist stuff, but feel free to insult your rivals. Maybe insult MAGAts as dumb fucks who'd take a bullet for Trump and get nothing.
I'm not a fan of cannibalism, but I guess waking up a billionaire would make for a good breakfast opportunity.
Well if he woke up obviously the first stab didn't kill him so I'd stab him again.
Two thousand girls at the same time.
Call a tax lawyer/pay taxes, call a financial planner, and figure out what other calls I'd need to make to set up and fund a couple of charities.
I'd shut the fuck up. Pay off my house and maybe add an addition to where I'm at. Same with some relatives. Fix my Subaru the way I want it, buy a catterham.
Start buying people's debt for pennies on the dollar and cancelling it.
Probably yell WOOHOO.
Next is quit my job.
A new off-grid house. We have a lot of power outages here every winter.
An older used car (I want nothing to do with a new car which are basically rolling spyware).
Start helping the worse off in my area such as the homeless and those living below the poverty line.
Same as I do every morning. A big mug of coffee and a big shit.
No amount of money would change that.
- Buy the house for my kids I’ve been saving for
- Set us all a reasonable allowance and a rainy day fund so we never have to worry
- Find a way to donate the majority to underserved families of children with disabilities
If i woke up a billionaire, I would tell him to pay some taxes to avoid the guillotine in a couple years.
Take biggest loan(s) and sell everything I own. Buy big storage space with wall full of leaf blowers and blow the money for the rest of my life.
I would invest it. Every year, I would withdraw the profits, so that my net worth stayed approximately the same.
I would throw an event in a different city each year.
I would get that money ("earned" from doing nothing more than investing it) IN CASH.
All the cash would be loaded up in a plane and dropped in a public place. It would be a spectacle. No advertising needed, word of mouth and social media would be more than enough.
At each event, I would remind people that the money dropping from the sky is merely the crumbs from a single billionaire. Money that I did not earn. Money that was taken from the fruits of their labor and added to my stock portfolio.
I would ask them to imagine how much more money billionaires are hoarding. I would then bid them a fond farewell until next year.
Oh, and also, maybe a nice condo in southeast Asia. Thailand, maybe. Somewhere chill and fairly inexpensive. Not because I deserve a nicer place, but because fuckyouallI'mrichbitchstillnotatotaldickheadthough.
These comments prove billionaires are hoarders with a mental illness. Nobody here is looking to make more billions.
True, but none of us have actually been tested. How many of us could taste real power and walk away?
The closest proxy is maybe lottery winners. Some invest, some fall flat on spending orgies. Almost none walk away.
Finally sleep in.
You know I think about this all the time. A lot of those rich fucks are on the hook for meetings and bulshit all the time. If I had to wake up at 430 am every morning to get ready for meetings would it even be worth it to be rich?
We'll.... Yes, probably lol but still it makes me feel better about it. At least I can kind of choose myown schedule with my current job. Not rich but I do get to sleep in sometimes.
And sometimes, every once in a while, that is priceless.
I'd probably put an entire university worth of professors on payroll, along with an army of neurodivergence specialists to make it so I could actually make use of them. If I had functionally infinite money I could become so fucking gigabrain. The saving the world stuff should go without saying since we are all ensouled beings unlike the ghoulish husks who actually have billions of dollars.
