King Kong isn't technically a gorilla, he's a giant monster that resembles a gorilla. In my headcanon that big bastard is chasing down Sam Neill and Jeff Goldblum in a 1993 Jeep just like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park.

The riches of hell is in damned souls, a currency unfortunately not accepted outside hell. Except in Vegas.

If I were obscenely rich (I.e in the hundreds of billions) I’d constantly donate to charity, enrich the lives of all my friends and family, heavily invest in my local and state economy to help ensure favorable worker conditions as much as humanly possible and I’d spend a lot on research to help mitigate climate change as much as humanly possible, and several other things I can’t think of at the moment.

I would buy a big house.

And then invite all kinds of actors over for a party.

And then I'd get a bulldozer and break down the fourth wall of my house.

Like seriously, if I have silly money, I'll probably just use it for very elaborate, expensive puns.

If I was uber-wealthy I’ll use my money for the re-industrialization of the western world to weaken China’s influence in the global economy. Also, if possible lobby for legislation to keep warhawks from gaining power.
Rapture City

  • In the underwater city, two roles have emerged from the City's ongoing civil war: the City Monitors who defend the peace and the Red Caps who fight against unjust systems. The city's infrastructure is crumbling under its own weight and kinship is snuffed by the paranoia of totalitarianism. Yet the people would be in for a surprise as their virtual overlord have died many years ago as the oppression continues under his name...
  • Not an 1-1 exact replica of Bioshock lore and Rapture City. Only the city's atmosphere and setting is maintained.

I would get married and start a family.
I would attain a high level of education along the lines of a PhD.
I would spend more time on exercise, getting physically stronger.
I would reinvest my wealth and earn dividends from it.

The overwhelming majority of my fortune will be given to the Catholic Church when I pass away.

20% to charity

40% in donations to the Democrats

invest 15% in anti-climate change efforts, like building giant solar farms

25% would be for me, and I would go to college, and nothave student loan debts, And... I dunno.

Eh, give 10% more to My favorite YouTubers

Obscenely wealthy? Help out a few friends of mine who are struggling, start a savings account and put enough in it to comfortably live off of the interest without touching the principal, pay off all my debts, ruin my abusive parents' lives, buy an old WWII fighter (a Corsair, if I can manage to find one for sale), open a second savings account with enough in it to fund flying as a hobby without touching the principal, get a modest home with a kitchen that would make the entire cooking show industry green with envy (ideally buying it with cash and no loan except from myself if need be), set up a trust fund for any kids I might ever have, buy a car outright, and then give the excess to charity.
