Live a life of excess, until an eccentric and down to earth character teaches me the most important lesson of all; that you can't buy love

also spend the equivalent of the tax revenue of a small town on a painting titled dickbutt in 2 colors

i would make a bet with another oligarch that character is innate and not learned and then fire one of my employees and replace him with a homeless man

how much more money do you need to be an oligarch? I've got maybe 4 bucks in mixed change here I don't need, how far does that get you? I'm super into this, let's make it happen

I'd encourage the desertification of the world by giving massive incentives to people who are farming in marginally effective areas to increase yields until they'd completely depleted the soil. Then I'd give them cheap gasoline and gradually pull back law enforcement (through bribes natch) until only a few really dedicated cops remained in the desert hellscape. Then I'd give everyone a camera and pay a bounty for "sick footage" while slowly ramping up the pressure to go full murder-crazy. I'd use the footage on my TV stations to convince more people to move to the cities (look how much safer it is when you've got private security) putting more pressure on the farmland that was left, rinse, wash, repeat.

If you are accounting for your wealth with dollars and not non-liquid assets, I'm afraid you'll never be an oligarch.

hire the okcupid nerds to build me an ebay that let you choose to trade only with people you found ethically acceptable

run it at a loss and provide colossal discounts for years to steal all the other online marketplace customers

using the API'd customer data all the while to provide the political movements I support with better informatics

then once the site had become an infrastructural part of western life, suddenly purge everyone right wing

tl;dr or more accurately If I were an oligarch I'd do something really dumb and unoriginal that meant I would stop being an oligarch shortly thereafter and have to go back to the rat farm
