If you had nearly an unlimited supply of money...

[KanameDarkwind]

Buy the American government. After that, CHANGE SHIT DRAMATICALLY. America is now a dictatorship with me at the helm, muhahahahahaha! 1.Kill everyone I deem unsuitable for life. 2.Build oil refineries EVERYWHERE then not use them because I turned Nebraska into Solar Panel City. After having America completely independent from foreign ANYONE I would start a series of wars, taking over every country in my path, destroying any people with genetic defects to ensure the survival of humanity. After controlling the earth, I would coerce the world into harmony, and work on science and technology as my highest priority. By this point I would be 50 to 70 years old. I would order the excavation of all of Earth's materials, and a construction of a hole which could safely store all of those materials in case greedy alien civilizations tried to steal them. As this project is in motion, I would order all scientific teams to focus on space. From there terraform all the planets we can and send around a billion people to Alpha Centuari with a huge amount of the stockpiled resources I ordered dug up.

I would probably be dead after all these declarations, but I don't know, the science teams could have made a breakthrough in aging. If so, then I would start cataloging my knowledge of our race and frantically try to achieve immortality. After I'm around 200 years old, and the seeds I've spread of humanity come to bear fruit, I'm sure an alien civilization will come to have recognized us. If so, then try to peacefully co-exist with them. When that fails, conquer them. If that fails, break out the planet crackers and enslave the smartest of them. After breeding them for several generations, I'm sure I could establish a different, more peaceful mindset within them. Then they could be used as workhorses if their species is suitable for such, or research is the opposite is true.

If no aliens, then just continue spreading throughout the stars to ensure humanity survives until God-Status is achieved. Once that happens, (if I'm still alive, which I doubt) then I'll teach humanity that apathy will get you killed after achieving god-status, hopefully giving humanity a purpose in teaching other civ's to be less destructive.


That is what I would do with an unlimited supply of money.

Step 1: LAND and lots of it
Step 2: Huge umbrella style underground base
Step 3: Many new sources of money will come from what i do in that underground base .. so step 3 is just pretty much the front ... can't spot a huge evil base with a nice, renovated community living on top of it
Step 4: PROFIT LOL

Bonus step 5: Donate masses of money towards renovations and Fixes in the UK to make it a little extra nice to live in .. + imagine some random dude out of nowhere started taking it upon himself to fix up the NHS, Create community centres and free sports for kids ect ... he'll be loved .. so not only will I be secret evil base dude with my own agendas but I'll also be loved by everyone hehe ... money and tail all in 1 go

Fuck good and fuck evil ... PLAY BOTH SIDES AGAINST THE MIDDLE BITCHES!!!

 

[CrystalShadow]

Hmm. Buy up the rights to most of the world's natural resources, farms, minerals, and so on. Buy factories, transport and communications infrastructure...

Integrate it all together and make the whole thing self-sufficient, then... Intentionally collapse the world economy, because money sucks. XD

Well, uh, to put that differently, assuming the system had been set up correctly beforehand, collapsing the financial systems of the world shouldn't be too bad.

And we could do so much better...


Anyway, that utopian insanity aside, I'd probably buy some trains and aircraft and have some fun.

 

[demoman_chaos]

I would end world hunger by hiring a PMC to wipe out all the starving people. No more world hunger, AIDS, over population, and more empty space for Survivor to say they are shooting shows in.

 

[Sticky Squid]

I would pay people to stand on the end of a street and chuck ham at people as they walk past.

 

[cheese_wizington]

Like that other guy said, get the space program back up and running. A few trillion a year should do it? Anyways, make my family financially set for the rest of their lives. Probably stop going to this shit school and get some sort of private education. Houses, video games, stuff like that.

 

[Blunderboy]

I would buy a nice house, with a study in a tower, with leather backed books and a coal fire.

But in the cellar, I would have prefect scale models of London, Tokyo, New York, L.A, Paris and Rome made. Then I would get my friends round and we could have huge Godzilla style fights in them.

 

[popparik]

I would destroy the world's economy (a damn good suggestion)! Bwahahahahaha!

Damn, it looks like they're already beating me to it....

I would buy a Congress and train them to sit up, roll over and beg for treats! Bwahahahaha!

Damn, it looks like they're already beating me to that too....

 

[twistedmic]

First things first, I'd buy a brand new truck/car (with every option available) for my mom, sister, brother-in-law. Then I'd find and buy a mid-sixties to late-seventies muscle car for myself (preferably a Pontiac GTO) and have it rebuilt to fit modern-day carbon emission, gas consumption and safety standards.
After that I'd setup a college fund of several hundred thousand dollars for both of my nieces.
Then would come a new house for my Sister and her husband, a new house for my mom and a penthouse luxury apartment/home in a major city (maybe New York City).

Then I'd go crazy buying stuff for myself A California King sized bed with Egyptian cotton and silk sheets, the largest possible HD LCD t.v., a high quality blu-ray player, a couple sets of Bose home theater speakers. A PS3 with the largest available hard drive.
A set of Corinthian leather furniture (couch, love seat, a couple of recliners), a dining room and bedroom set made from the most expensive and exotic wood possible.
I would also hit up every single electronics and toy store and buy every single DVD, CD and game that I want, or even think looks interesting.

Finally I'd hire a personal master chef to cook for me and my friends, and I'd have a couple pounds of Kobe steak imported in every week.

 

[Castian Blake]

Fund my own everything.
country
army
tech
life
and then invest on researches good ones; nature oriented tech advance, green energy, combat diseases, robotics, space programs and of course videogames and pcs.
making sure all world crimes are essencially dissappeared
a economic lan that'll last 10k years with no poverty or envy
install a world socialism or monarchy (good one)
then quietly retire.

 

[jumjalalabash]

Buy the top 5 stories of a really nice hotel then convert them into 1 connected mansion area.

Also screw that donating nonsense. The starving orphans are right up on my concern list with buying milk.

 

[Detective Prince]

Nice house. Make my own country, buy a load of games, begin project: Real Jurassic Park for my army.

 

[GraveeKing]

I would buy Romania's capital and paper every wall and ceiling with their currency. I would then CHANGE their currency to the euro so they don't start ripping down the walls.
If I still have anything left over. I then take out 1 million pounds - in just pennies. Then go to any place where you can donate coins to charity and then hire passers by to put each penny in one by one. Why? Because it's funny to me.

 

[aegix drakan_v1legacy]

I would buy myself a kickass HD TV, move out, buy a condo, fill it with stuff, buy all gaming platforms and all good games, get myself a recording device and become an armchair reviewer just for fun.

And I guess I'd learn how to make games on my own time and just make a few small publications until I get really good, and then make my dream project.

....And...make sure the condo is big so I can potentially tell my GF she can live with me rent free... /// '>_>

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

I would have the biggest bonfire and subsequent party this world has ever seen.

Seriously, money is meaningless. Has been since we created it and it will eventually publicly become it when the system it's based upon collapses.

 

[Loud Hawk]

A massive yacht made of gold and T-Rex bones and meteorites... Oh wait that already exists

http://tripified.ca/2011/07/gold-plated-super-yacht.html

Then I would sail around of the coast of Somalia taunting the poor and pirates.

 

[spartan231490]

I would build a lab and actually start doing some research. I would also spend more of my time writing(I'm trying to write a book), and start filling out my collections of firearms and medieval weapons.

 

[William Keller]

I'd buy every Great War (yep, World War One) uniform I could find!
I don't know why, but WWI has always amazed me.

Also, the maternal home of H. P. Lovecraft would be a good purchase.
