I’m not a fan of cannibalism, but I guess waking up a billionaire would make for a good breakfast opportunity.

i would start looking for causes to fund. extinction rebellion for example would get quite hefty sum

Lots of perfectly valid answers here about decent humane things to do with the money and power, and I certainly hope I would do things like end homelessness or otherwise meaningfully improve the world.

That said.

I’d build a full-scale, 1:1 replica of the USS Enterprise, NCC 1701-D, from The Next Generation. I’d run it like the Biltmore; technically it would be a private residence, but I’d charge people to take tours. But any time I wanted, I could close it down for a few days and just hang out on the bridge or in main engineering and vibe out to the THRUM THRUM THRUM of the warp core.

But solve homelessness first, of course.

Host an anonymous scholarship program for 800 million to throw the money away while giving education opportunities to people in poverty, donate 100 mil to open source projects I use. invest 90 mil to have a steady income throughout the rest of my life.

I can live a satisfying life just with 10 mil, and the income generated from investments would be a good safety net, but I’m not really a high end luxury seeker.

Get rid of it, that much money is toxic. I’d throw it at every good cause I could, buy a modest house, and get back to being broke as soon as I could.

Start The Sovereign Fund for Humanity’s Poor, and promptly deposit all but $10,000,000 into that. I would hire 5 people to run it. Three fiduciary’s and two data analysts. The fiduciary’s must be from different financial centers, the data analysts must be from Oxfam. The purpose of the fund will be to use the ROI to create trusts for the poorest people in the world first. I’d basically be privatizing UBI in about 500 years.

Hookers and coke for the win!!

Finally sleep in.

Find everyone in my life who has money issues and give them each a million.

Buy Argentina.

Buy up every media, news, and politician I could find and put the DSA in charge of them.

Buy and build as many homeless shelters and communal food kitchens I can.

Probably fuck some kids to blend in

/s

First thing? Probably panic. Second thing? Probably try to wake myself up. Third thing? Probably try to find some rational way that I just got isekai’ed as a billionaire.

After it finally sank in, I’d probably consider lobbying for things before I lose touch with where I used to be. Right to repair, universal healthcare, UBI, etc…
