If you controlled 10 Trillion dollars

[TitleMaster]

I'd started a thread like this earlier, where I was Titlemaster Rockefeller, the heir to one of the largest fortunes in America.

And in my scenario, any all star, who joins the Celtics at Vet's minimum, will get a compensation of $10M/yr at one of my firms with a retirement annuity of $500K/yr for the rest of their lives, after they're done playing b-ball.

Revenge against my enemies.  They should all die like pigs in hell.

And find some women younger than Rosanna Arquette and Paulina Porizkova.

Actually, I'd get everyone on the planet ridiculously fast internet.

It's either that, or I'd get into space exploration with a budget like that.

Oh, and a beer for all my CB peeps. Yes. All of you. Cheers!

set it on fire

first, take $1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) and put in any sort of investments that yield 2%, a low but safe level. that would give me $20,000,000,000 each and every year. (for those keeping score at home, that means $20 BILLION dollars each year.)

it is inconceivable that i could spend that much in a lifetime, let alone a year. i am most assuredly set for life.

the rest? i put in a similar set of investments so as to produce interest and then set up lots and lots and lots of endowments. i would greatly enjoy having that much money to give out to good causes, good people, and good purposes every year of my life.

and if $80,000,000 (eighty million dollars) or so goes the wrong way or is poorly spent? NO BIG DEAL. $80,000,000 is merely one/tenth of one percent of the annual yield.

honestly folks. ten trillion dollars is an obscene amount of cash.

basically, it is like a magical power that i would love to have to make the world a shade, itty bitty, tiny bit better for many people than it currently is right now.

One thing is for sure...if I had $10 trillion I wouldn't be posting on Celticsblog.

I would spend money on sentient A.I. 'bots R&D and then, have them start posting on Celticsblog, so that we can create a subculture of non-human Celtics fans.

This way, if ppl start to get bored on the forum, there would be an emerging force which would keep things interesting for a long while.

I hope Celtic fan AI robots are the ones who take over the world.

Look at Bill Gates. When you have that much money, it would take strong anti-social tendencies to not use a lot on charity.

If I controlled 10 trillion dollars, the Celtics would be in good shape.

Well, that's the plan, taking a cue from Caprica/Battlestar Galactica

I'd make a public offer to pay off the national debt on condition that I take over and I get to behead anyone in government that I want....oh....wait....10 trill doesn't cover the national debt....never mind

I would fill an entire swimming pool with rubber gloves and then swan-dive completely naked into the pool

I would buy the Boston Celtics and not hesitate to take them deep into the LT.
