A game to help understand just how much money is a Billion dollars

It’s crazy how difficult it is to even imagine the scale of billionaire wealth.

It’s less about shopping and more about realizing how far removed that amount of money is from everyday life. If you had access to that kind of wealth, would you try to spend it all or invest most of it?

I get the premise of the game, but it's sort of silly since Elon doesn't have $420 billion in cash, and if he tried to start cashing out, the value of all of his companies would plummet due to panic selling.

Make a deal with a country to buy a ton of land and agree to let me make my own country.

We need to say one billion like G Gordon Liddy, “one thousand million”
Federal debt is 37 thousand billion dollars

Philanthropy is an easy answer, but I think you have to be really careful with it.
You can create systems that only exist because they have an absurd amount of money funding them. Those things become inefficient. Then, even if they are doing good things, eventually the money will run out and that good thing is for naught.
I would probably set up some kind of portal where I could receive proposals from actual experts on sustainable things I could pay for that are hard to get funding for that could make a difference.
Maybe just fund as many nuclear power plants as I could, even if I just give power companies or the government a loan at like 1% interest on it over as long of a time period as they want.

If im remembering correctly one million seconds is 11 days, and one billion seconds is around 32 years.
Posted on 10/22/25 at 11:51 am to Shexter
A million seconds is 11.5 days.
A billion seconds is 31.7 years.
A trillions seconds is 31,700 years.

I remember a similar site for spending Bill Gates's money.
Posted on 10/22/25 at 11:55 am to Shexter
All that reminds me of is Brewster's Millions.
Might be time for a remake.
Spend 3 Billion in 30 days to inherit a 30 billion dollar fortune.

Just clarifying because too many of the "tax the billionaires" club don't understand how net worth works and this game feels like that sort of rhetoric

Elon Musk is rich enough to have more G-650s than the USAF has total planes. He still would have plenty left over.
