If you were an eccentric billionaire, and had millions...

[Post War America]

Invest heavily in leftist political parties, and attempt to push the economic axis of political discourse away from neoliberalism and back toward a more leftist posture.

In summation: Attempt to be a Socialist equivalent of the Kochs, to the best of my abilities as a billionaire.

I'd buy EA and run it into the ground.

Or, reform it to be better! Throw money at game franchises, only be evil with the sports games, because sports games suck!

[Topoliani]

Steam Games + DLC


All of them.

My other plan was to buy all AAA game franchises with more than 2 games, and then refuse to make any more.

[Nimzonia]

Except Suikoden. We will have so many Suikoden games...

Refuse to make more games? You'd last a week, maybe two.

There will be games. Just no more endless shitty Assassin's Creed games.

And kill the movie too.

I just want someone to revive the Mass Effect Franchise, original trilogy style, not this run away to another galaxy BS.

I would probably make a University for deaf and/or blind students. I occasionally work with students with disabilities like that at the University where I work, and the provision of various services for their needs could be a lot better. It would be a completely new campus, with new student halls and new teaching facilities, all the buildings would be designed to be deaf/blind friendly. The library would be a mix of normal textbooks as well as braille and audio books. All the teaching staff would know sign language. It would be a fairly small campus at first, but it would have room to expand if the demand requires it. It probably isn't as grand as the other projects proposed on this thread, but that's what I would do with the money.

I once discussed this idea with a colleague, and they wondered if it is too much like "segregating" the deaf/blind students, but I would argue that it isn't, as the student always has a choice about which University they apply for.

Well, I was going to respond to the thread but I feel I should respond to this also.

We don't want this, really we don't. After spending 5 years at a boarding school that's just for the blind, I'm sure I speak for most blind students when I say that the money could best be spent on improving support across the university network.

Walk into any fast-food chain store (it really does not matter which or where) and order everything. Not everything of one kind; literally anything they currently had in stock. Considering how most of such places are staffed and stocked, I would likely break whatever place I visited.

On the off chance it worked? Pass the food out for free, I guess.

[Lyridgradia]

1-Built a baroque palace
2-Buy a lot of cars
3-Buy a customzed yacht
4-Buy and customize a aircraft
5-Make an army and make a coup'd'etat in my country, Brazil

Try and build a botanical garden inside a linked skyscraper. Include every kind of plant including industrial and farming plants. Expland the property to include a closed environment life support system Mars garden, an experimental vertical farm, and some experimetnal deep winter greenhouses. This would turn into a crazy tourist attraction. I would charge to come and visit. it would be one of the projects, I would work on. I would also see if I could build an effective bombshelter garden underneath the property for protection against a nuclear attack. I would call the place "Gardens of the Moon."

That would actually just make a lot of legitimately great games not possible

[Sunstruck]

Idk, make a metal album.
Advertise metal. Make people appreciate it more.
Gets homes for all lost kitties.
Genetically modify ponies and turn them into unicorns.
Buy something nice for my girlfriend.
Invest in infrastructure for poor countries.

Yes, but they'd be legitimately great games I don't give a shit about, and I'm the hypothetical deranged billionaire in this scenario.

[Datlofff]

Build a complete, 1 to 1, reproduction of the KMS Gneisenau and her sister ship KMS Sharnhorst.

Also maybe re-make Bismarck too, but Sharnhorst and Gneisenau were cooler.

[Bewhua]

Find some place to found a micronation, make it big, and then attempt to make a Marxist, stateless and moneyless little society. Would probalby go really wrong, but it would be fun to try. Then if that doesn't work, work towards automation to eventually reach a 100% automated society.

Part 2 of my schemes

Buy up enough land in some middle eastern country with lots of oil and hire a bunch of PMC's to protect my borders. Declare my land a independent country after setting up and developing a legal process. Sell oil at a much lower price than the rest of OPEC (so that I barely make a profit). Rekt OPEC. Have the US come and save me if I get invaded because they want my oil. Die a happy, even richer, man, with 2 battleships.

I can already see it now.

FIFA 2018 loot box edition.

The base game gives you one team (randomly selected) and access to a single online only play mode where you can grind in random games against random players to win loot boxes. No local multiplayer, no single player, no AI. Each box contains one or more premium prizes including but not limited to players, teams*, stadiums as well as various cosmetic items for the in game player creator that initially starts with absolutely nothing. Of course you can buy the boxes in micro transactions instead or if you don't feel like gambling individual star players like Messy are only available via expensive DLC.

Oh, and all the stadiums have real life adds instead of fake ones. And the adds are drawn from google addsense without any content filtering.


* Teams are earned with NO players in them. Just the team. To actually have a playable roster you have to first win the team name AND all the players individually.

Invest in fusion, ftl travel, and a working portal gun and/or Lucio's wall ride roller skates.

[Anollasia]

I'll build my own theme park on the moon! With blackjack! And hookers!

[Zanera]

Because relying on slaves whether from a different race or robots will make us weak. If we have to enslave and exploit peoples, it should be fellow humans!

How do you think people become billionaires in the first place?

They buy caterpillar dung then feed it to birds.

[Struberria]

i would definitely start a motorcycle business
