If I were rich as hell (heck)?
I would buy a big yacht and a private island I would name Cubita visited by invitation only.

Give the most to my parents for them to do as they will, have a financial company invest it for me, and use the rest to travel the world.

Pay off any remaining debts, put aside enough money to live quietly on, put aside enough money to settle the wants and needs of a few people close to me, take a long trip around the world, donate the rest, and call it a good life.
Just so you know, this nation, in character, is a highly sexist, highly theocratic, and highly authoritarian state. (Though under the new guy, it seems to be improving a little).

I disagree with a lot of what this nation stands for. It was invented for its intrigue and ample opportunities for satire, not for its ideals.

I'd probably eventual come down from the initial high and realize how empty my life actually is.

Then after five minutes I'd get over it and buy whatever I see first.

I'd use it to fund public education because goddam if that's not a lot of spelling errors.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

”Many forms of government have been tried and will be tried in this world of sin and woe.
No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is
the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time." -
Winston Churchill, 1947.

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. A complex weapon makes the strong stronger, while a simple weapon – so long as there is no answer to it – gives claws to the weak.” - George Orwell

Rich as hell being what, $1B? $200B? $10T?

In any case, probably buy myself some nice apartments and clothes, put a little of it into some accounts I could slowly drain as personal money for the rest of my life, and then throw the rest at whatever the best bet seems to be to build extraterrestrial colonies (frankly, probably just keeping a good flow of capital going for SpaceX to expand and preventing Elon from doing dumb and crazy things, instead of setting up my own thing from scratch) and develop new nuclear power technology on a significant commercial scale (acquire some of the nuclear tech startups and build a nice little conglomerate, if possible). Then if I still had cash I'd probably work on funding public housing projects in the US and donating to hospitals, and also funding political campaigns for candidates I liked.

I'd buy out every drop of oil, the entire military, and every weapon imaginable. Oh, and the sun. If people use solar power, they have to pay a sun tax to me.

Assuming I couldn't run out of money, I'd solve every problem my family has and more in a financial sense. Then I'd live off the money and do whatever I want for the most part. If I'm super comfortable that my money won't run out, I could try funding my brand of politics and different initiatives all over the world. I'd keep Stormfront funded.

If I were able to purchase this website, I imagine it'd be very different. Plenty of changes would be made. But I don't want to change too much too fast, because then it might not make money. You usually keep a business the same and make changes gradually to be able to keep what works and undo what doesn't. My vision would be radically different, lets just leave it at that.

If you were to own this site, I'd go on a GDPR request immediately to purge all of my info here just right before you bought it.

Let's just leave it at that
