1 billion smackers.
I'm doing a research on PKFZ and how did the cost of developing a port escalate from RM1.9b to RM4.9b, and I started wondering what would I actually do if I had a billion bucks in my pocket.
Well the thing is that, I had no idea how much one billion is prior to actually writing it down and seeing 9 zeros.
This is one billion for you. 1,000,000,000. To put things in perspective, one billion would actually get you 113,351 17" Macbook Pros.
Now on to the list, we'll start of with the 'alot makes more' bit of things first.
Investments
1. Set up a really high end cybercafe that aims to reach out to the non ah-beng crowds. Think English speaking counter staff heh. This should not cost me more than a million.
2. Buy some property. I'll hire an agent to do it for me.
3. Donate a little to all previous schools that I was in. This, of course depends on the demographics in the school. ahbeng ≠ money.
4. Do something about the local political scene. I'll probably hire someone like @timothyteoh to sort that out for me.
5. Buy over the majority of Malaysia's largest English daily, The Star and ensure it is free from political bias. Ad revenues bebeh.
6. Buy a hospital
7. Start a bus company, a timely bus company. My buses will be...pink!
8. Start a taxi company. An honest taxi company. Pink taxis!
9. Start a cinema.
On to the hedonistics!
1. Lots of fast cars. Won't be buying things like Ferraris because... Well you see, a Ferrari's great but people love it because its a Ferrari, not because of an in depth appreciation of the technicalities and the passion behind the brand.
For this a couple of cheap Porsches, Lotuses would suffice.
2. Education. No point buying fast cars when you don't know how to drive them.
3. Education, 2. Finish up my degree.
4. Start an MME team, and slowly progress up the ranks if we make it.
5. Houses?
6. Driver for the Bentley I have not spoken of yet.
7. Bentley.
You know what? At the end of the day, with that one billion in my hands, I'll just suffer from delusions of grandeur and I won't abide by this list.
Back to work now. Pray that the money will be in the bank when I wake up tomorrow wtf.
