In addition to various charities I would set up so I pay the hosting costs of the forums from now until my death and at least 5 years beyond. My account would get a green star instead of a blue or red star.

Judging by the Nightmares Fear Factory thread still bringing the laughs 5 years running, I feet confident in my decision.



As for the rest of the money, a few million on installing solar panels on schools and public buildings and a business renting roof space from giant retailers and warehouses. It would still technically make money on the warehouses, it would just be a pretty poor ROI but IDGAF.

Maybe with a billion I could start a company manufacturing solar panels in the US and use those to cover everything. Hmmm...

OOH

Set up a shell company that pretends to be a debt collection agency that buys up debt for pennies on the dollar then hounds the debtors.

Buy up a few million dollars of private student loans that only costs my company $100,000.

Forgive all of that debt.

Set up a new shell company (once the first company forgives the debts then banks won't sell the private student loans anymore) and do it again.
