I don't think I'd want to be a billionaire. A hundred million? Yeah. But, any more than that I think fucks too hard with the head. It's an impossible amount to understand, and the power that comes with it corrupts.

You might say, "then, just give most of it away", and yeah, that makes sense, but I don't know how fast it happens. I don't know if I'd be able to. I think once I realized it was really mine, it might be hard to "just give it away". I don't know what that corruption feels like.

And, I'm not sure I want to.

No. I'll take the $19 and I'll leave being a billionaire to the people who handle it so well.

Just push the money toward a good cause. You don’t have to be a billionaire for long.

Go to casino and put it all on black.

No, red.

No, no, black! Yeah, black...

I would have to put it away in some locked account that only pays interest each year and doesn't let me have any access for like 20 years. Otherwise it would be gone in 4 months.

[–] ninjakttty@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ok here’s the plan.

Day one you give all the money to me and I'm gonna give you a challenge.

You've got to spend 3 billion in 30 days. You can't own anything, you can't destroy the money, you can't give it away, and it has to be totally secret. If you do that then you get $100 million otherwise if you fail you get $19.

Everyone's happy problem solved, and I think there might be some wacky hijinks involved
