What would you do with $250 billion?

[the8thark]

This is the rather unique question Apple are facing now. Unique because unlike almost every other large business or nation, Apple's $250 billion is their own money, with zero debts.

So you have $250 billion, no debts, what would you do with it?

 

[Jamie]

A company like Apple needs to reinvest in themselves, obviously. But as an individual, I would live large and buy whatever I want. And donate a lot to charity. No big plans for me.

 

[Spirit]

That's a lot o' gil right there.

I'd buy a private island and a nice boat, i'd get a villa built on the island and travel the world.
I'd buy property in Japan and Canada and buy myself into a Hollywood producer role.

If I had $250B, tbh that's way more money than any individual needs. I'd donate $100B at the very least to charity, and then the next thing I'd do is buy myself a fancy sports car and probably a nice mansion, and maybe a private island. I'd also travel the world (like, literally the world. I'd love to see everything), pay off my family's debts, and then I'd still have a ****ton left over, so I'd probably donate the majority of what's left over after that to charity as well and keep enough so that I wouldn't have to worry about going in debt or anything.

Even if I only had a tiny fraction of that, like 0.01% of that, I'd be set for life and literally never have to work again. I can't even imagine what that kind of life would be like. tbh, I'd probably still work, at least a little bit, because I can't handle not working or at least doing something every day.

Wouldn't give a cent of it away, keep it all and live a very expensive lifestyle, spend millions every day, buy everything I could ever want including a charity so people could donate money to me.

I'd travel for a bit, see the places I want to see. Travelling by private jet of course.

I would like to get into film making. I'd be free to have the movies made that I want to make and not what the greedy studios feel is safe for them to make a big profit on.

I'd get a Pug and a Frenchie

I'd invest my money into research into cancer and reversing the aging process.

I wouldn't have any toilet paper in my house just £50 notes

I'd have Tingle Tower constructed for real.

The real question is: What would you do FOR 250 Million Dollars? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

[Shroom]

I would reinvest it by buying 250 billion $1 scratch-off lottery tickets.

 

[Kylo Ken]

I'd get a hooker. But the super cheap ones that are wrinkly with no teeth because then I can have much more hookers that way.

[Kylo Ken]

I'd hire Floyd Mayweather and 100 midgets, and make them fight to the death wearing only Sumo wrestler gear. I'd also hire Jim Ross to commentated the match.

I'd get myself a house, pay off all my debts and my families. Make sure all my friends and family were comfortable and put 1 mill in a high interest savings account so it last forever then probably donate a massive chunk of it to whatever charities take my fancy

why 1 mill? Why not 100 billion? and how would 250 billion ever not last forever?

 

[pyjamas5189]

Because 1 mill is enough to live on for the rest of my life with the interest so I wouldn't need more than that or want more than that

 

[Kylo Ken]

...I wouldn't need more than that or want more than that

Give the rest to me
