Well, seeing as you've stated that you're (very understandably) tired of the industrial game, you should be looking for something else to keep you entertained in EVE. You've certainly got enough money to try every aspect of the game, and that's what I recommend you do. Playing the market is certainly an enticing option; With that much liquid assets you could really manipulate the economy in any way you see fit. However, since you also stated that you're short on time, that might not be an option. This *IS* by far the best method to increase your funds though, and I'm quite sure you're aware of this. (After all, a man with a trillion in cash *should* know how to make money :p)
The easiest and most stable market to manipulate would PLEX, I think. This is a commodity that many require, with very limited stock. Therefore, it should be easy to control. It's not a very nice thing to do, but you could probably inflate the prices to about the double of what they are now, and people would still buy them. Wouldn't be very high-maintenance either, as the influx on the market is fairly limited.
If none of the normal gameplay options entice you, you could just set yourself a really lofty goal to achieve, like shifting the balance of power in the universe in a certain direction. Most people are clearly set on monetary gain, but you've transcended that, so you can easily manipulate most people. (Like you did with this thread ;) )
Here's three more suggestion that I mailed you half a week ago or so, in case you didn't get the mail.
The Good:
1) If you wish to continue the philanthropic trend your thread has taken, I'd suggest a training program for new players, where they are taught ways to earn ISK. Speaking as a new player who has difficulty affording most things, this would certainly not be amiss. There could also be something in this for you, namely recruiting the most talented students to your corporation.
The Evil:
2) Titan deathmatch! (with a twist)
Set up a titan vs. titan deathmatch, and charge a small sum of ISK from players who wish to watch. When a sizable crowd is ready, proceed to set up a match and gather them all. However, when the match is about to start, instead of fighting eachother, both titans unleash their Doomsday devices upon the audience.
(FYI; I sent the mail before some other guy suggested a titan face-off)
The Silly:
3) Let the thread run for another 990 pages, as it would be fairly ironic if you spent all the money by trying to figure out what to spend it on.
