Put it in an index for 20 years. I'd retire by the time I'm 43 with more than $4B
Berkshire stock...that dude is good, will never die, and the BV appreciation has outpaced the index...
Put it in Vanguard Divi Growth Fund, and live like a king off the 20mm it kicks of every year and it grows....
I'd give it to RenTech and laugh all the way to the bank as they return 20%+ annualized.
The only problem is that they don't take outside capital anymore
if you have the right broker, they do
The only problem is that only their employee fund has great returns, not the one open to outside investors
The Browns at +30,000 to win Super Bowl LII
In this hypothetical scenario I'd buy property. Give me a (semi) guaranteed cashflow over bets in the marketplace.
I guess I'm assuming that I'd be ok with $1B and be more in wealth preservation and cashflow seeking mode.
I'd use it to insulate a banana stand.
There's always money in the banana stand.
~$990M into shorting Tesla
~$5M into a contract on Elon Musk's life
~$5M on hookers and blow while I wait
Why stop at $990MM when you could make that a leveraged short?
this might be the best thing I've ever read on WSO
this aged well
How did this advice turn out for you ??
Tesla share price: - 3 March 2017 at U$50.31 - 23 November 2020 at U$546.52 (up > 10x)
You sir, are probably broke or fired (likely both)
Your "990M into shorting Tesla" would probably mean you're owing 10bn ... nice one !
Don't forget the stock split, he actually owes 5x the amount
The problem is you skipped the essential step #2
$1 billion to set up a foundation in order to do well by doing good, and to access the upper echelon of philanthropic circles of the world.
The Donnie Azoff foundation is about to start fundraising, interested?
The Human Fund - Money for people
If there was a futures market for US government debt increasing I'd buy it all with 100:1 leverage.
hire a private military contractor (think G4S) to take over Botswana so I can control their Diamonds.
Have you seen the documentary Blood Diamonds?
Bombay Sapphire stash from heaven
Apple. Buffet put in 5 and he doesn't lose
Investment in myself, Dan Bilzerian style. Call me a hobo, but I'd be content with 1bn.
Buy some BBB rated corporate secure bonds and live off the coupons and reinvest
I'd buy treasuries. FDIC doesn't cover that much, and $1bn is enough to sail into the sunset.
if you're saying I can't spend the money I have to invest it but I'll get it back later, probably would buy something from tweedy browne or vanguard.
if you're saying I can't spend the money and I'll never get it, I'd give it to the Gates foundation, they're doing great things over there.
I would buy a weather changing machine like Bill Gates has and uses to create hurricanes. Then buy a lot of insurance.
Ugh seriously? Dude, you just need to become a 11th degree Freemason to get access to that.
You're saying I could don a brand new pair of Gucci Jordaan horsebits every day for the rest of my life?
I'd throw it on red playing electronic roulette in Reno.

How about now?
Probably have a lot of short positions on various industries important to China.
Pick some heavily shorted Biopharm penny stock which is popular on StockTwits, grab some popcorn and slam Buy orders at the market while enjoying the crowd's frustration.
On a serious note, I would probably be looking for a fund with stable returns where my capital would survive if a ZeroHedge scenario materializes.
