I’d spend 100M in a month easily. Especially after I’ve bankrolled GrapheneOS, Ladybird and all my favourite FOSS projects. They also didn’t say anything about charity which IMO isn’t gifting. Once I feel like I’ve sufficiently contributed to society I’d buy a 50ft sailboat, pimp the shit out of it with solar and fuck off forever.
With the billion I’d establish a fund that pays out monthly to any projects I deem worthy and funds all food banks in my local area indefinitely.
No gifting.

According to the book The Starfish and the Spider, which is about decentralized organization versus centralized organization, the Spanish Empire was able to defeat the previously-undefeatable Apache resistance by giving gifts of horses to some of the Apache leaders. It provided them status, creating a hierarchy, turning the Apache society into the sort of thing that could be destroyed in conventional battle.
Not saying it’s a very tight analogy, but I would be wary of changes in team culture resulting from a project going from volunteer based to well-funded.
Obviously open source projects need resources, such as servers and github accounts and all that, but spirits change when resource flows change, and projects excel or flub on spirit.
Then maybe graphene OS would be able to get enough people to maintain non-pixel builds.
Starting a production line for something like UAV drones seems doable. I don’t understand how much 100kk is (and I assume most lemmings too), but I think like there are a lot of ways to make it more expensive. If the baseline is constructing an existing model from imported components, then customizing it, printing or casting conponents oneself, doing R&D - everything can change the price.
Just buy some commercial property, island, luxury house that is worth 100M, it can be done in less then a week. 3 weeks left to think and organize how to spend 1 billion in 1 day.
No you’re getting somewhere. Buy 1B in property put it in a company. Then use that as a mortgage to get a higher loan to buy some more. This way you can in addition avoid paying taxes.
how to spend 100+ Million in less than a month. Buy a jet.
Buy a supreme Court justice with the first 100M, then the rest of the court with the other Billion.
You’re overpaying, justices aren’t that pricey
Yea, once you’ve bought all of the SC ig you could spend the remaining 99 million on Congress or something
Quickie marriage with a $100 million prenup
Then rail the maid of honor on the wedding cake table. Time’s a wasting!
Who’s Jeff?
He owns AWS
Just buy Nvidia DGX machines and make your own AWS.
Just pay for a couple people’s cancer hospital bills.
Is paying for something for someone else not gifting?
In normal countries it’s called tax
Sounds like gifting

Can I do the lobbying thing to get a nice human rights or climate law passed or is 100M still too poor for that
That sounds like gifting
I think it would officially be lobbying, or, in laymans terms, bribery.
Overpay for Monero.
The purchase would be the inflation skyrocket making those in…business…with Monero experience short buff on their previous conduct and product supply quality.
This incentivizes them into produce more products no one else can afford. It’ll buff their stock and increase their desperation to sell.
I’ll be stacked with cash to buy it all with gorram near zero oppositional bids.
If the market is short on Monero for that rate, I can buff the crypto with BTC and Bisq it to what actually fucking matters.
So your play is own all the drugs?
I think that wouldn’t quite count as an expense as it sounds more like simple currency exchange, similar to trading 100m dollars for 90 million euros.
I’ll just invest that into a nice, stable, diverse stock portfolio then, and use the dividends to both live on and start a charitable non-profit. Building shelters, donating to politicians who champion human rights, education, healthcare, founding free clinics, angel investing in co-op businesses, and funding food banks isn’t giving away the money after all. it’ll be slow going but pay broader dividends down the road.
Just buy like 10 apartments in New York.
I’ll buy $100m worth of stocks from all the public companies every month.
For a genie it may sound like gambling.
genie just doesn’t know how to read fundamentals
I’m just not sure if making an ancient wishmaster aware of stock trading is a good idea.
I call it investing jf I can reason the reaons for specific stocks.
No gambling
Genie: Listen here you little shit
Stocks are liquid enough that the genie may not consider it “spending”. You could easily buy it, and then just as easily dump it. The move is also big enough that you’ll single handedly move the market in the process.
Just buy like every house lol. Actually just put in an offer for any house for a 100 mil.
sorry no, credit score is bad so we refuse to sell to you
I would guess they accept cash offers regardless of credit score?
That’s up to the seller, so generally yes.
