I've just had a train of thought.

Income taxes are gonna be a bitch.

Then, that I'm making 31 billion bucks a year. I'll corrupt the entire government in my first year.

Who said anything about this money being over the table? Granted the Feds are gunna look mighty hard at you, esspecially if you've donated thousands of dollars to charities and recently purchased 50 houses (cause you always had that dream of owning one in every state)...


As for me, I'd hire a team of stock analysts and get them to invest my money in all the best and riskiest stocks available (cause you have to spend money to make money). From there I would invest a portion of it in, well, myself (because I'm like that, lol). After that I would buy 63 houses, for the reason stated above (plus Canada, yes Canada. Call me old fashioned). Finally, I would create my own company whose stated goal is to put me on Mars. Through this company I would acquire other companies that make the various parts my main company requires as well as other companies in fields that tickle me (if you will), most especially, TV stations, News Papers, other media outlets and Book Publishers. What little money is left over (as well as some of my profits) would go to various charitable and scientific organizations.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I would build a replica of the USS Enterprise - D (from Star Trek) scaled to the size of a large hotel...

I can think of a reason the feds wouldn't look that hard at you...

Because I blend into a crowd easily? :P

With this much money, I wonder why I am the only one planning hypothetical world domination? Or do you all just not want to share ideas?

Who cares about world Domination when you can have Solar Domination? Dominate a measly little rock or the entire Solar System? A smart investor would take the latter.

Imagine what you could do with all the resources Space has to offer? Among other things, you could have complete control over all the world's infrastructure by directly influencing the distribution of raw materials.

 Being the first Emperor of Sol is a far greater prize than little old Earth.

I would buy the internet. Then shut it down. Muahahahaha.

 Would you willingly condemn BILLIONS of lonely men across the world to a life of MEDIOCRITY by depriving them of their RIGHT to free, High-Speed, on-demand pron?

If you answer yes... Then there is no hope left in the world. None what so ever.

[Higgs Boson]

If my plan was read, then by "world" I mean "the galaxy, if not the universe, if not [assuming the multiverse theory is correct] the multiverse!!!"

[Higgs Boson]

Ooh. OR I would buy the internet and upgrade everyone to T1.

Why stop there? Why not dominate all 11 Dimensions!?

Ooh. OR I would buy the internet and upgrade everyone to T1.

Don't stop at just T1, upgrade everyone to an even better internet that's streamed wirelessly across the world!

It shall no longer be called the internet! BosonTech's servers transmit through subspace, allowing near-instantaneous downloads!!!!!! No longer will you have to wait a day or so to download that movie from BitTorrent!

Don't you mean BosonTorrent? :P

[Higgs Boson]

Yes, yes I do. Also, the movies will no longer be in movie theaters. They will stream via subspace and come with a chatroom of everyone watching the showing, where if you type anything they will yell at you. You may imitate popcorn eating by using the "krinklekrinklekrunchkrunchkrinkle" macro

[Elemental_Elf]

I think we need a "krinklekrinklekrunchkrunchkrinkle" smiley!

You, sir, win the thread.


I got it. Buy a mercenary army, and overthrow a third-world dictator. Pump your cash into that nation to develop its infrastructure, then slowly begin to assmimilate more and more territory (I suggest Africa for this) until you've got enough of a population and infrastructure base to live happily.

Phase two. Heavy investment in many, many companies, using your income and the surplus of your continent nation. Build it up, then sell it. Completely cave the international economy, making it a perfect time to roll in with your army.
