If you were among the richest people what would you spend it on?

So Amazon boss Bezos wants moonlanders

https://www.breakingnews.ie/world/amazon-boss-jeff-bezos-plans-to-send-spaceship-to-moon-923202.html


Wouldn't it be a great idea if he spent those billions on buying up some land and reforesting it or keeping some Amazon rainforest or tropical islands away from redevelopment or even cleaning up the plastics soup?

I know I'd spend it on plastics recovering and improving this world before fvcking up the moon.

I'd make an Irish Wakanda. Buy up a few towns and make some serious upgrades like sustainability, generating more power than we could use, high tech jobs, research and facilities. Some expansive green areas too. Get some huge international clout too.

Eventually secede from Ireland and work on expanding my borders, slowly turning Ireland into the most peaceful, advanced and fair country in the world.

I'd move my family far far away then pay a PMC to carpet bomb our estate.

Always had a fantasy about bulk buying apartment buildings all over Dublin and renting them for next to nothing, to cause a collapse in the rental market. As far as actual fun things go, I'd buy an empty plot facing out onto the Grand Canal somewhere near Charlemont Street, and allow people to randomly show up and drink cans there - but technically the guards wouldn't be able to do anything about it, since technically it's private property, and I'm not actually selling the booze so it's not a licensing issue either

Post Divorce... this one person is worth $161,000,000,000

The GDP of Ireland last year was roughly $330,000,000,000

There is no middle class anymore (or very little of it is left).
There are those that buy what ever the f**k they want and those that have (and always will have) sweet f**k all.

Inequality is natural, but not this level of inequality.

Even within Ireland, it's very skewed.
A total of 20 people control approx €62,000,000,000 worth of wealth.
IE 0.000004% of the people control roughly 20% of the wealth of Ireland.

There isn't anything on this earth that you could buy (as an individual) for more than a billion dollars

You couldn't go up to Boeing or Airbus and say give me a 747 or an A380 as an individual, they wouldn't sell it to you, as you could fly it into a building etc.
Same applies to Ships.

You could probably buy something like Azzam for €600,000,000. But that would be the most expensive Item you could buy as an individual. (Open to correction)

Would do if you got a pilot's licence. Travolta has a 737, I believe and a runway beside his house.

Owned by Trump Air, which is as asset of the Trump Organisation.
Note: It is nearly 30 years old.
Also note: he had his own airline at one point "Trump Shuttle"

The Aircraft belongs to the organisation (IE they are liable for it, not Trump directly)

There's a big f*ck off yacht on the Liffey in Dublin at the moment. One of those please.

Scarily living in Ireland means we are amongst the wealthiest people on the planet (by income).

Driving around in a 07 Micra I don't particularly feel rich but what do I know.

I believe it was a 707, built in the 1960's
He bought it pre 9/11 (which changed everything in terms of ownership of those kinds of aircraft)

He has a Challenger 601 now (which I think is the biggest you can fly yourself)
