How far can I fly, and at what speed?

edit: I guess if it's Superman flight, I'd...still pick a billion dollars, assuming that death plague becomes significantly less of a risk soon. Drinking coffee & Bailey's and then going to sleep > having to actually navigate and worry about the air force shooting me down.

Am I immune from aerodynamic effects? Are the people who are flying with me? The airflow at mach 9 could really put a damper on the sex cult related activities.

Flight. Especially if I can cheat the system by carrying people who are carrying people. Even if you can only take one other person you can still basically abolish national borders in a matter of weeks. Refugees all over the globe, libertarians dropped into Somalia, liberation for oppressed people everywhere.

Now, listen - I know the two of you are very different from each other in a lot of ways, but you have to understand that as far as Grandpa's concerned, you're both pieces of shit! Yeah. I can prove it mathematically.
I would buy a helicopter and hire a full-time pilot and use the other 999 million for fun things.

Another issue with flight is that you'd be obligated to help people.

"Oh great another loving penthouse orphanage is on fire"

with a billion dollars you SHOULD be obligated but you definitely won't be.

Penthouses are encouraged to burn to the ground and indeed starting a fire at the top of buildings will bring about rapid social change.

I'd sell a private SPACE TOUR to every billionaire on Earth. I would tell them that to save time, we're just going to do one trip and they can all pile on at once. I would advertise it as a fantastic jot around the solar system to see the moon, Saturn's rings, the Titan, etc... and that they would be the only ones to ever get to do it.

Then once they were all on board I'd fly directly into the sun.

Once all the billionaires are in space just let go and fly back to Earth. Some nice island somewhere. Also lol at AA weapons taking you down, you fly at mach 9 and are basically undetectable by modern technology by virtue of being made of meat.

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

the billion. flying sounds cool but in reality once somebody recorded you playing superman everyone would instantly recognize you everywhere you went and you'd never, ever, ever hear the end of people wanting rides or you to bring them poo poo or their own private airshow. even if you tried doing a clark kent routine it would only take one or two fuckups for some nosy reporter to catch you changing your clothes in a phonebooth and then your face is on international news the next day. no amount of money will get people to forget the face of a real-life superperson, whereas you can easily buy as much privacy as you want with the billion

an anonymous billion sounds way better than being able to fly. You'd probably make a lot of money flying but you'd be famous and it'd be a real loving hassle.

I was gonna say fly because you'd be able to live comfortably and probably live a way happier and more interesting life than the average billionaire. But then I thought about it:

-Some people would probably try to kill you for being an abomination/alien/whatever
-Everyone would hate you for not devoting all your time to saving people. Like if 9/11 happened, you couldn't just sit at home and watch. Everyone would be like "where's the flying guy"?

I do wonder if it would even be possible to earn a billion dollars with the power of flight. Millions, sure, but billions? It would be the world's greatest sideshow act. Rich dudes would hire you privately to perform for guests. You could do those jobs where a guy changes a lightbulb on a mile high tower, and do it 20 times faster. Actually, with super fast speed you could change all the bulbs in america in one day. I just don't know if it's possible to make billions without being a true businessman though.

If I could fly, I would carry all NASA/whoever's neat science stuff into space for free. While I'm up there, I would leave my filthy rear end-prints on the lens of every spy satellite. After that, I don't know, solve world hunger or wealth inequality somehow? Maybe I'll secretly build a moon base out of floating space junk and only come back every once in a while to gently caress with the biggest jerks in the world by pretending to be an alien or something... and to get more beer.

If I could fly at mach 9 my only job would be transporting poo poo that needed to be moved ASAP. I would just move organ transplants from hospital to hospital. Not only do I get to help people, but if I wore a gopro and had a patreon? I'd be set for life and I'd help countless people who really need it.

If you had a billion dollars best case scenario you either run out of money helping people or you have to engage in stinking capitalism in order to continue helping people. Boooooooooo.

the only reason to have cartoonishly large amounts of money is to spend it chasing the freedom that superman flight would give you, except you have to do it via proxies like ferraris and coke and ruining peoples lives
