Probably never work again. Get a house that I actually like. There's nothing wrong with the house I have, but it's no dream house. It's just a house.

After that, ๐Ÿคท. Maybe I could actually take some oversea trips. I hate flying them in coach. Maybe first class wouldn't be so bad.

If I were so rich that I'd never have to work again, I'd go to law school and become a public defender. I can't become Batman, but I can still help others.

I have always thought if I became super rich I would pay for a bunch of people's lawyers to force the government's hand. Essentially the only way our legal system (in the US) "works" is via plea deals. If every case went to trial things would grind to a halt. However, even if a person is innocent they may not have the money to fight the charges or risk the consequences of fighting and losing anyway.

So basically fund defenses until the prosecutors and cops stop being lazy and actually do a justice instead of just a prosecution.

Pretty much what I do now, but with way more sex.

(I'm disabled so I have lots of free time to game and fuck around on the internet)

Assuming Elon musk level money with a diversified portfolio that doesn't bias me to a small set of companies or industries. I'd make a man made archipelago on international waters and start my own country. We'd be formed foundation style with a purely meritocratic government and society contributing 100% to the betterment of mankind and our future prosperity. I'd like to envision something like a modern library of alexandria were all are welcome. Alternatively I could just try to make the uk or America less moronic but sadly the state of things just depresses me. We need a hard reset IMO.

I'd donate to cancer research. You never know when it's gonna hit you and I'd rather die knowing I did something to help cure it.
