Hire best biologists/chemists, and provide them with all resources required to fix ageing. That or space but Musk has that covered. :p

Probably build a bunker in my backyard. Said bunker would be 260ft under ground with 10ft of solid concrete on top with 250ft of dirt and rock would cover. The bunker would be about 2,000sqft and 100% self sufficient

Give planetary colonization a kick in the butt and make it happen sooner. Probably by developing a cheap and reusable spacecraft, asteroid mining, etc.

Even Musk needs help to make that happen.

A list of priorities:
1) Building a bunch of beautiful churches, if it doesn't count as charity.
2) A kick-ass hunting ranch, with a built in nuclear-hardened fortified survival shelter.
3) Fund research that tickles my fancy, or that I find mildly interesting.
4) Build a space cannon.
5) Dig a tunnel under the Bering straight.
6) Open an array of wacky theme restaurants. "Come to uncle Dio's! $5.99 heart attack combo!"
7) A baffling array of exotic pets.
8) Build the enterprise.

Strangely enough, that is actually something I could help you with. As a small hobby, I have read books about fallout shelter and nuclear bunker design, and I have a pretty good grasp of the ideal shapes and layouts for maximum structural hardness. I'd actually love to design one for real, I would find the whole thing fascinating.

I honestly don't see the point, party for one in a nuclear bunker for 50 years with little idea of what you're coming out to.. I'd rather be atomised if a nuclear war broke out..

I'd definitely use a good chunk of it to simply retire. Who needs a job when you're loaded, right? Whatever I can't spend fast enough, I suppose it can go to creating ways to remove greenhouse gases from Earth's atmosphere. Carbon removal is the keystone, the core of reversing climate change within a reasonable time span.

Oh, I like this idea.

I would also grease the many palms of congress critters to completely pass a veto proof full repeal of the NFA, the GCA, Brady, Hughes, etc.

Tbh the danger from fallout wouldn't last that long, most places would be safe after about a month. But regardless, I won't say anymore as this isn't a nuclear war thread. :lol2:

I'd start up my own private military company, coupled with an international "human rights" organization so that I can takeover failing African regimes and gradually set up my idealized neo-Roman Empire.

Maybe reverse-colonize Zimbabwe and bring back Rhodesia too, while I'm at it.
