I'd try to start a racing career. Always wanted to since I was a kid but it's always been out of my reach.
Not sure what "fuck you" money is, but if it can buy me a decent gaming laptop, I'd use it immediately.
I've always heard it as "so much money you can literally tell anyone fuck you" or buy something ridiculous with that money as a middle finger to others
Buy a house, start my reptile projects, throw extras at the fediverse, the fediverse succeeding is very important long-term.
I'd buy a house. Not something huge, but decently sized riverfront property.
Buy me an oil rig and open a hacker space there. Pretty obvious choice no?
Doesn’t matter because you’d never hear from me again.
Buy a full tank of gas.
and what about the remaining $20?
Quit work and start a new hobby to spend serious time in. Not sure what that would be.
Leave my job & go and see the world. Possibly by finishing off my sailing quals & buying a luxury catamaran or trimaran.
A house or nice apartment.
Then I’d buy a private train to boast among the other rich people how much more climate friendly that is… pretty sure Davos has a train station, right?
I would buy the best health insurance. Whatever the 1% are using. Super Platinum Cadillac Gold Insurance. I would get my loved ones the best medical care in the world. I could fly them private to see specialists, I could afford 5000$ a month experimental drugs, I could extend their lives and the qaulity of said life.
If you had that kind of money would you even need health insurance? Just self-insure.
Hire a permanent live-in nanny so wife and I could sleep soundly and stress less.
That’s first, the rest I would take time and decide and tell no one except the wife
Pay my parents retirement.
Buy large property, create an anarchist commune, build Earthships and similar housing out of sustainable recycled material, setup public gathering spaces, spa areas, perhaps stuff like rooms for artists, musicians, workshops, etc. Grow weed, shrooms and veggies, have some animals living in relative freedom and perfect health.
Ensure everything is weather proof based on location's projected future climate, build water/heating/energy infrastructure (solar, wind), offer each building as rent-to-buy, keep growing the community and make sure to plan for the day the government gets scared and sends in their death squads.
Basically something like Kristiania in Copenhagen but bigger and more focused on sustainability and land mass, so probably outside of major cities.
Addendum: Would be a good idea to make it impossible to have this grown into an insane religious cult though. 🌚
As cool as Earthships sound, I feel like they aren't a good fit for all climates. I'm in Canada, and unless you live in BC (and I'm talking Vancouver or the island), your only sustainable building option is straw bale.
Even if I could go further south to a more temperate climate, part of my fear is that anything south will get unbearable soon. Even Europe is going to be hot as hell.
I'd buy myself a few mercenary armies and state armies as well as weapon manufacturers and just stop selling weapons and waging war. These people probably have skills as drivers or watchmakers, so Glock would start making watches and Wagner would be a chauffeur service.
I'll probably still have a division special force to take guns away from everyone in the world but police force in Democratic governments. As soon as they fulfilled their purpose, they'd have to hand in their guns to the local police.
My hypothesis is that every person with a gun is willing to part from it for the right price. And the others just have to go, I guess.
probably spend it on a bunch of landscaping for my parents yard to turn it into a "no lawn" (I fking hate mowing the lawn)
Dump all of it into researching how to grow tardigrades larger, until they are big enough to take down a fully grown man. Then build up an army of them and unleash them on the world.
With my tardigrade army giving me complete control over the world, I will begin enacting my ultimate goal:
Making that bitch Sarah pay for making fun of me in primary school.
"Fuck you" Sarah.
Buy some politicians to get some positive shit done.
Disappear and become someone else.
I would build myself a mansion like the Le château de Moulinsart in Tintin.
Tax fraud
Fire Fest 2
Buy a house I like better. Get some large windows, better insulation throughout the house, some small degree of soundproofing between first and second floor, and pay for some serious landscaping in our yard.
Invest most of it to create retirement, medical, and educational funds later in life. My family worked hard to put us siblings through school. I intend to pay if back if possible.
Pay off the debt of everyone in my family
I'd pay off all of my family's debt and secure them financially for life. Then I'd start a truly universal housing project in my city and state.
Fuck you
Pay off my mom's house and get it completely renovated, included hooking it up to the sewer line and completely redoing the foundation. I'd also add a second story with a balcony facing the direction of the ocean.
That's a trick question. After the end of civilization as we know it, no amount of money will do anyone any good, and that end seems imminent. There will be no such thing as “fuck you” money; there will only be “might makes right”, and I am far from mighty.
Pay someone to organize all my stuff and buy the proper closets, boxes, etc everything. And bring my mom to where I live and give her a better life.
pay my debts, a full medical workup, some minor dentistry, then invest wisely after getting some financial advice from a professional advisor because I don’t really know what I’m doing.
