Easy! Just spend the month in a US hospital without insurance

Hopefully the billion will cover the rest of the bill

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

The bill will come in nine months though. You have spend it within the month.

Easy, buy up a bunch of land for conservation

Property can take a while to close


offer to title in under 30 days is on the quick side.

Of course, you could probably close very fast if you offered 100M cash on a 10M property...

If you're buying vacant land and paying cash, you can close really quickly as there's nothing in need of inspection, and loan processing times aren't a factor... I have a buddy who just purchased 100+ acres of vacant land from a logging company. He paid cash and was able to close in just a few weeks.

Buy $20 for $100 million. If you can "buy" nft's then Idk why you can't buy something with less value.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The $20 bill has a unique serial number just like the nft.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's even better because no one else can have that same bill at the same time.

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

There are some recent $1 notes where the same serial was issued twice.

Sent this to my friend at AWS and he said it was already all-over their internal Memes Slack channel. At least their engineers and project managers are in on the joke. 😁

Create a serverless function on AWS that calls a serverless function on Azure, which calls a serverless function on gcp which calls a serverless function on Oracle cloud which loops it back to AWS.

Now stick CloudFlare in between each step of that.

Dude, you only have 100 million.

[–] DrDominate@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Genie never said they'd give me a 100M to spend in the first place. No way I'd be able to spend 100M that I don't have.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

This reminds me of a scam I fell for in Eve Online once

"Can I invest in crypto"

"I already said no throwing it away"

[–] Seigest@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Give it all away anyway. Screw that genie, wealth hoarding jerk. At worst he kills you and you leave a saintly legacy.

[–] leopold@lemmy.kde.social 0 points 1 year ago

seems better to just spend the 100M like he wants and then just give the remaining 900M away.

Ill show up to dealership row and just start buying out car dealerships until I hit 100m and have that done in an afternoon

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bad investment, you can't resell them for nearly as much and you've contributed to the automobile industry that is lobbying hard against climate change policy

I'd start buying up mid-sized companies and reorganizing them as worker co-ops. Doing some long-term good while not violating the terms of the contract

If you're just after the money, do as every billionaire looking to launder some money does and buy art.

[–] FarmTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

no way are you finishing a company takeover in a month

[–] win95@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Easy. Buy 100 homes in my city. Become a landlord. Barely ask rent so it's technically not gifting. Use my infinite money to maintain the homes so people have affordable decent housing. Profit for all!

[–] andrewta@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Short time later your homes are in ruins and your broke from continuously fixing your houses.

Found the idle rent seeker, or worse, a bootlicker for idle rent seekers.

There is a reason why capitalists and socialists both hate landlords, they are a relic of feudalism.

You sound like you need a warm cookie and a glass of milk

Build and fund a Marxist think tank, think tank of the Proletariat

Treasury bonds here I come

Investments are probably covered under "gambling".
