You had 100 Trillion ISK in Real-Life?
Example Things I would do:
- Donate to Charity - Bribe anyone I wanted - Buy expensive stuff - Get those scammers to shut up - Pay off all of my bills, rent, and taxes - Get a really nice mansion - Buy my right to be President of the United States of America
So what would you do? ____________ ___980368___ ^^My Signature is Better than Yours^^ |

Pay a PMC to kill everyone in a wartorn African nation and hire them to secure it for me. Then I would hire them to repopulate the area with kidnapped children and adults. Then declare myself as supreme overlord and rule it until the UN comes crashing through my roof with assassination :D

Yes, yes I would. Someone needs to keep the nation going and keep funding the PMC guys once I've been assassinated.

I would buy some islands, build up its infrastructure and agriculture, invite folks tht are not stupid, and declare independance. Make a country that is based on reason and logic, not superstition or other silly political stuff.
And I guess use some of it to prolong my life as long as possible so that I might eventually live forever, or at least longe nough to be able to explore space. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thought about it for a bit, then decided against it for a variety of reasons. For starters, as weird as it sounds, that's not enough money to pull that off. Second, prosperous areas attract "undesirables" like you would not believe it, and being too isolationistic isn't good either. And each of us has his own idiosyncrasies in both body and mind, even if repressed rationally, so while at some advantage, it still wouldn't be quite what you imagined - you'd need a population grown from scratch educated only on carefully selected materials by people who are extremely careful not to introduce any noxious memes, and even that's not guaranteed to get you what you want, especially once you drop the isolation part and expose them to the world of chaotic information out there.
Quote: And I guess use some of it to prolong my life as long as possible so that I might eventually live forever, or at least longe nough to be able to explore space.
End goal would be nanotech, sure, but meanwhile, improving regular medical technology might be quite nice. Still, again, even that amount of money probably won't be nearly enough to radically hasten breakthroughs. It will help a lot, sure, but whether it's enough for people our age to actually still be alive by the time you could become theoretically immortal (if that will even ever happen), somewhat doubtful. _

With $550 billion i would create a trust fund so cultural artists from any country could create music, writing and other forms of art immune from the nerfing interests of other countries. Also I would start a news web site that has a depth of investigation that roots out the true causes of issues that the (un)free western news media does not. I would call it ISN news

So that would mean...100 trillion * 1 billion dollars ? Are we using the long or the short scale ? I'll assume short...so 10^12 * 10^9 = 10^21...a sextillion dollars ! Well over 9000 ! The world GDP Currency): $61.96 trillion (2010 est.), so about 6 * 10^13 dollars.
That would be enough dollars to pay the world GDP for the next 16.7 million years.

Good points.
More realistically I would likly end up buying an old castel in Spain and live a free relaxing life there, and have an open invitation to all my friends and family to stay in the castle when they want to ;) (of course, I need to fix the caslte up with some nice fiber networks and computer rooms and what not, but still)

So then, why the bloody hell bring ISK into this at all in the first place ? Why not just say "if you had a trillion of billions of dollars" ? Or better yet "if you could pay for anything you wanted to do" // "if you had access to unlimited funding" ? You know, since the amount of money you imply doesn't even exist, and even if it did, it would not have the same value as that amount of current-day cash thanks to inflation and a host of other problems associated with that. Also, are we talking the actual, current real world or some crazy alternate reality or fantasy/future version ? _

So basically more cash then I could ever need? Definalty fund a project to make me biologically immortal, or invent nano tech to do it. With that kind of funds I could get all kinds of scinetists onboard to do it. After that, well, whatever I fansy I guess. Explore space, terraform a few planets, build a gigtantic self sustaining space ark, start a dyson sphere project etc.
OP seems to have so low aspirations with nigh unlimited funds, and I doubt bills and taxes would even be thoguht of with that kind of money.
Aslo, why would I be the president of USA whe nI can buy up all the nations of the world and be supreme ruler?
But what is backing up that kind of fortune? If I simply own all the worlds money (or 99.999% of it), what stops the people from just saying "**** that ****" and make their own currency and ignore me? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

going by the math outlined in the original post, that would give me roughly $100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 US
So...
I would: Colonize mars set up a new society that is self sufficent create a new nation seperate from earth name myself Empress of Mars pay scientists to come up with ways of being able to travel to other solar systems in reasonable amounts of time profit use whats left over to buy earth out enforce the ensuing galactic peace --

Buy Fiat group, that's Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lanica, Maserati, Ferrari and a chunk of Chrysler. Then once again build prettier Ferraris, faster maseratis, rear wheel drive Alfa Romeos, interesting Lancias, cool Fiats and just for laughs maybe a Chrysler that handles properly.
Then still with most of the money left over I'd research creating petrol from genetically engineered microbes to fuel all the gloriously high revving V8 and V12 engines I'd be building for the above.

Yeah, you did so, EVENTUALLY.
What's the point of a limited amount of funding if that limit is a bajilion quintillion dollars, basically enough to pay everybody in the entire world more than handsomely to work for you on whatever the hell you want for the rest of your natural life and then some ?
Also, you provided no reason as to why you even had to bring a fictional currency into a real-world hypothetical situation. WHY not simply give a realistic (even if very big) sum, and express it in a real-life currency instead ? It's not like you don't know where the edit button is, you've used it quite a few times already, what about doing it right this time ?
Oh, and counting down to the moment the OP will request this thread of his to also be locked. Since, apparently, whenever something doesn't go quite as how he expected, instead of correcting his views to account for the criticism, he goes all huffy and puffy and blows his own house down rather than remodel it. _

The OP reminds me of that Japanese plan to put a ring of solar panels around the Moon:
Quote: However, when trying to determine the economic requirements for such a massive undertaking, CSPÆs Tetsuji Yoshida answers with a non-answer: ö[P]rice is a human tool for exchanging goods. Maybe this type of project could be out of range of cost considerations. We would have to find a new word for it?ö
Don't ask about what we would do with money if you don't want to think about how money works, Amaroq.
Edit: unless this was a clever plan to troll Akita T. If so, you succeeded marvelously.

100 trillion billion dollars?
That's an utterly useless amount of money because you can't actually buy anything useful with it.
My plan would be to create a hyper education school system to find and train the people capable of figuring out immortality and who can build a working Constitution class starship.
