What would you do with 14 Trillion dollars?

[bergsjaeger]

I have to ask this in light of the US debt being over 14 trillion. No single human could spend that much in their lifetime.

[Hullu Hevonen]

I would buy me a new computer, an small appartment, study some while, start my own game company, maybe travel 1-2 times 1 year, save/live off the rest.

EDIT: I hope I would not die soon, cause then the Finnish state would take 21% in taxes from that sum :(, that would be almost 3 trillion, that would last the state 60 years whit no incomes . And I would of been the largest contributor to the economy ever

[The Khan]

Buy gold. Consume the rest.

[tkobo]

Buy an island,build an armed forces, and fix alot of the world.

[Eldin]

I'd sponsor a Norwegian space program to Mars, build a hotel in space and a base on the moon.

[Lightbringer]

Take a few million for retirement, and pay down the U.S. debt... the day after they pass a Constitutional Balanced Budget amendment. Otherwise, I'd buy an island... like Australia.

You could have any number of countries, cars, etc. unlimited funds, though an island wouldn't be bad. could put a power plant on it of some kind. A 100 years from now the island be its own country.

[Hullu Hevonen]

you could hire a mercinary army of your own and invade lietenstein, an Island state, Panama & Costa Rica or the Vatican , though the rest of the world might not like it .

Or better, You buy the an island state and make it private property, by paying 1mil to every inhabitant and then make them leave. Comoroos would only cost 691 billion . oh plus I would have to pay little extra to thouse most stubborn landowners, I estimate that it would cost under 1000 billions.

Why would you want to invade Lichtenstein? You already have a ton of money

[Ruges]

Buy the US Presendency by vowing to pay off the US debt.

[fool]

Wouldn't paying off the US debt just inflate the crap out of everything? I mean, we *can* have money appearing out of thin air, that's not the problem.

[Lightbringer]

I assumed the 14 trillion was in my bank account from something a bit more concrete than simply printing it. Perhaps selling every single human being some doodad for $2.50. If the money is not simply printed, then it would not inflate the economy, as it would already be part of it. I am sure that it would cause some waves, just not Zimbabwe printing press waves.

@Ruges - Wouldn't do any good, unless they let me serve in every seat in the House and Senate simultaneously.

That would only net you about 17 Billion dollars. We hit 7 Billion people very soon though.

14 trillion dolars = 2,000 dolars/person (world wide)
