    What would you do if you were filthy rich?

    I would:

    Give the worlds most valuable wine to homeless people and see if they drink it.

    Give out used gift cards with less than 5 bucks for Gucci and luxury places.

    Donate a Lamborghini in their name to kids in Africa.

    Buy them a house in Haiti or North Korea.

    Have the worlds most valuable artist paint a picture of you having sex with a guys mom, sisters, wife and other women he’s close to. Then give it to him and tell him how much it’s worth.

    Buy the clothes off beautiful women’s backs.

    Become the king of an island with around 10,000 people on it. I could also pay some people to become my eunuchs so it seems more exotic.

    Start having underground death matches.

    Hide a billion dollars worth of treasure and make the world go crazy looking for it.

    Create a space program to become the emperor of the moon and mars.

    Start a harem and pay politicians to legalize polygamy.

    Pay women to step on me.

    I would make a really cool fortress on one side of town with armed security guards wielding paintball guns to stop people from getting through, and then having a cool vault with a cash prize for anyone who feels like they can get in and out without taking a hit. I'd also hire a legal team to hash out the details and keep it cool and legal.

    So many things to improve, so many things to correct, so much corruption to stifle, and so much inefficiency in regards to need. If I was filthy rich, I would focus on one of these things to make the world better.

    I would buy a company to hire myself as a trainee, so that people can't say I haven't worked for my money.

    I’d hire a lot of people to look for my cat who ran away last week and then I’d just live a comfortable life and.... well that’s it. But it’ll be great.

    Found an organization named "Morality Coalition"(abbreviation worthy of note) with the target of bettering the future of all of humanity - defined as every single human being, instead of as a collective - so influential people who actually want to change the world for the better have a place to congregate~

    Hide all my money and only spend what wouldn't be considered too much for someone in my line of work.

    Buy the youtube channel MrBeast and Livestream Boku no Pico to his 50.000.000 subscribers > ????? > Profit.

    Buy nhentai.net and embed some Holy Marys as background music.

    Sponsor 24 episodes of Boku no Pico sequels.

    Bend over some companies by fucking with their stocks.

    And maybe hire the best of the best to kidnap Jack Ma and Mark Zuckerberg to make them have a boxing match.

    Probably tinker around with the green energy sector. There are so many cool unexplored things that haven't gotten the funding required to actually happen. Did you know that plants actually generate electricity just by existing and can be used to power their own growing lights? Stuff like that. I'd invest in researching the solarpunk future I desire. My ideal world runs on green, sustainable biotech. I want redwood skyscrapers, solar-power that doesn't run on lithium, and happy bees everywhere, so I'd likely give a capton of money to inventors with ideas that looks neat. Gimme the high-tech hippie elf future.

    Then I'd build myself the worlds first plant-powered house I guess. If I could pay someone to figure out how to comfortably live in a tree, I'd totally do that. Give money to people with a more solid sense of charity (do I have enough money to fix world hunger? If so that sounds like a plan, I'd wanna see how it'd play out). Pay my loans. Be free to spend my time cultivating immortality. Plant all the sunflowers. All of them. Yes, even those sunflowers over there. ALL the sunflowers.

    1. Spend money on space development and start colonizing other human habitable planets.
    2. Find an ape-like alien species that's good at fighting and enslave them.
    3. Use the ape-like alien species to conquer other planets and sell those planets to rich aliens.
    4. Sit on a futuristic wheelchair and call myself Frieza.
