What pointless thing would you do with $50 billion?

In My Humble Opinion
1

A different version of this thread.

So you’ve got $50 billion somehow and since you don’t needs billions, you keep a million dollars for yourself and decide to get rid of the rest of the money. How? In the most pointless way possible.

Eat out at a restaurant? Leave a hundred dollar bill as a tip.
Guy on the street begging for money? Give him a wad of hundred dollar bills.
Mailing a fragile parcel for Christmas? Use hundred dollar bills instead of newspapers to protect the fragile gift.

What’s the most pointless thing you can come up with?

You can’t beat the classics. Use money to wipe your ass, or as kindling for your fireplace.

3

Buy the world a Coke? :slight_smile:

(I feel old…)

4

buy a 1,000-hectare piece of land, plant lots of hard wood saplings, put up a small tent with an easy chair outside it on the highest point in that area, and spend your days sitting out watching the trees grow.

**Apollyon **could buy $50 billion worth of airtime on every TV station, YouTube channel, so that every single commerical is the same commercial.

At which point I would kick back with a Pepsi.

Stuff hundred dollar bills into bottles, take my boat out (bought for the purpose), let the bottles loose.

Hire someone to weave an ornate shirt out of 100s. Wear the shirt to a party, give it to someone that night. Remember to bring a back-up shirt… made out of 50s.

Offer a substantial prize for anyone who can bring me Tootsie Roll Pop wrappers with the Indian and the star.

Spend a day walking around, pretending to sneeze. With each sneeze, throw out massive amounts of cash to the ground and leave them.

Install a secret room/hallway/etc in my house.

Get a car (an extra car, of course) with hydraulics - the wild kind I’ve only seen in movies and look preposterously inconvenient. Drive around. Give rides to friends.

12

Start a daily newspaper.

13

ROFL. :stuck_out_tongue:

14

Nah… though that’d be a goer for: “You have $50 billion; what spiteful thing would you do?” :slight_smile:

15

And what would you do the following week when all the money was gone?

16

I’d produce a remake of The K Foundation Burn A Million Quid, but on a MUCH larger scale.

17

There’s already a documentary to help with ideas.

18

One fun way to turn a big fortune into a small one is by racing cars.

19

Build myself a space shuttle.

Build a very elaborate hedge maze.
