Jeff Bezos is the official richest man on the planet with a net worth of $113.5bn.

This isn’t a thread for class warriors to tell us about the evils of capitalism, this is a thread to dream about what it would be like to have that much wealth.

What would you do if you had that sort of money?

I am sure you would be highly successful in that aim with an amount of money that is less than the annual budget of the NHS.

I would keep my pre-order in for Bayonetta Collectors Edition on Switch. And get my bathroom repaired.

I would put $110 billion into founding a not-for-profit experimental medical research facility, with resources split roughly evenly between curing cancer and dementia. The organisation would have a long-term goal of conducting research towards extending the average human lifetime in developed countries to 100 years.

I wouldn't be clever enough to actually work at that facility, so I'd take the remaining $4 billion and buy a controlling stake in an animation studio and force them to create the perfect 2D waifu. :datass:

All the money in the world wont fix my broken brain so Ill just say that Id give it away to charitable causes when knowing inside Id waste it on immediate short lived carnal pleasures and in time wasting the rest extending my life so that I can fool myself that I never need face the cold embrace of death, before the reaper takes me in the throes of a binge and my material wealth abandons me as I fall kicking and screaming into the abyss.

He's that rich on paper but most of his wealth derives from stock, if Amazon tanked tomorrow he'd be (comparatively) penniless. He should blow it all on hookers and yachts while he still has the chance.

I would keep a billion for myself and divide the rest between the Remain voting areas of the country.

Which is why I said what would you do if you had that sort of money, not what should Bezos do with his imaginary money.

So what would you do Preezy?

I'd actually just sit on it (not literally, that'd be silly) and then let the Preezy dynasty forever live in luxury in bloated mansions full of high class escorts and paintings of great great grandpapa Preezy.

That’s not a silly idea, build a giant money bank, turn all the money into gold coins and change your name to Scrooge McPreezy.

Scrooge McDuck sadly suffered severe internal bleeding every time he jumped into his pit of coins :(

I'd donate it to UKIP so they can finally get us out of this mess.

I'd actually throw most of it at human-machine-interface researchers in the vain hope of being able to transfer my consciousness into a machine and live forever (or at least as long as I wanted). Yep, that's how I'd waste it.

Having that much money allows you a top seat at the shadowy cabal actually running global or national politics, so I think it would be really fun to do that. Really gooseberry fool on the little guys.
