What would you do if you suddenly had $5 Billion? | One Good Question

0:08 We in there. We in all right, we know what we're talking about. We got nothing to be in Yeah, well shit, we're not in there. We run the outro. Yeah, really get us out quick for people realize we don't know what we're talking about. Literally don't know what we're gonna talk about. Did we talk about having five billion dollars? No, I haven't had I have talked about five billion dollars. Let's do that, all right, Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to One Good Question Friday, Episode A fifty percent Factfore we answer questions from y'all. If you want to get involved good company discord dot com, you get first DIBs and first looks at all our apparel, a like minded community. But you also get a chance to get your questions asked. And our guy Evil Firn asked if you woke up said about so you got to do this too, all right? If you woke up with five billion dollars in your bank account tomorrow, how much would your life change? Or how would your life change? What would you spend your time doing? Five billions are crazy? Five billions a lot like I can think about I can think about up to a billion. But I don't know about what to do with with five billion. I mean, I I you don't think anyone can until you're there, right, like you're here to spending the money. Yeah, I mean yeah, I don't think you know what five billion is. I think I mean maybe like the first impulse is to like take care of family and friends and stuff. I think that's, you know, because you can afford it. I mean, you're you literally give every family member a million, yeah, and not even blink and not even blank because I mean it's so much money. And then you got

1:41 five billion dollars in the bank, and if you're earning any kind of just straight interest right now, it's that's a bunch five billion. Yeah, you never think about money again, I do wonder because obviously NBA money and celebrity money is way below this, right, Like, yeah, average NBA guys may be worth a good NBA guys maybe worth ten million. You know, that's that's what he's worth, not not a straight fucking liquid cash in your bank account. So I'm five billion dollars just so obscene. But it's kind of the enabler thing what comes to mind, right, Like, I know a lot of them don't give family members money because one they come out of the wood works, yeah, and then two like what are they gonna do?

2:23 Like they're just like maybe you worked for it, Maybe we didn't, right because we just popped up five billion. But either way, normally when you end up there, you've had ups and downs, so now you hopefully you're more responsible. Where if you just give someone a million, like they just could get drunk and fly first class around the world for no reason whatever whatever. So I know a lot of like those type of folks end up in five billions so obnoxious I can't even like say it with a straight face, But like I would probably make them like work for it in a sense, like give me like a business plan and I'll invest in whatever you want to do, because my first thought too is yeah, family and friends. But like and five billion again is a bad example because they could go burn that million and I could still give them another million. Yeah, and it would not be a big deal to you. It literally wouldn't matter other than just being fucking annoying. It's like, yeah, like but that's so much money. I mean you could give and I don't. My family's not that big, you know, like a billion. Let alone five billion is so, I mean, you go buy half the companies you know their name, you know, Yeah, what's worth five billion? Like Louis Vuitton's worth like seven billion, and that's the biggest high fashion brand in the world. I think, you know, like, what are you gonna do? I think that in terms of like family and friends, this is one of those, like, you know, fantasy scenarios where you win the lottery. Like if you can take the pain away from family and friends, it's like saying down the pain, don't make them rich, but make you know, make things easier for them. Yeah, and if you could do it in some way that was I don't know, uh kind of anonymous, that'd be really sweet.

3:53 Yeah, I think it's impossible. I think it's possible too. How annoying it would be. How many people show up would be crazy, Yeah, you know, just out of nowhere asking for bills. Yeah, I think you know. Yeah, Like buying someone a house is almost better than giving them a meal. Like all right, man, you get to live for free. You got a better You gotta work your job right because you got to still get food, and you gotta pay for your kids. I'm not paying for your kids. I'm not buying your dinner every night. I'm not paying your taxes yeah yeah, yeah yeah, paying your property taxes yeah yeah yeah. Here here, here's a seven hundred k house, yeah and three hundred k cash. Maybe do something like that for myself. How my life would change? I mean I talk about it all the time and people think I'm wrong, and they always say, like, you're going to get bored. But I could do nothing. For sure. I can do golf, I can do movies like forever. And everyone's like, dude, you're gonna get bored, Like why do you talk about retirement. I'm like, I won't, Like I don't know what it is. I literally won't.

4:44 I have projects fine to me, So I mean whether I'm you know, whether there's money involved or not a project now that they'll be very big projects, yeah, probably little so yeah. And it's like, well, the temptation to do stuff for your do stuff yourself for desiring people, yeah, you know. I mean there's a tip point with that, I think for sure. And I mean again, five billion is so stupid. Like a vacation would be probably top priority in Nabora, Bora or some ship. A lot of golf, maybe I'll buy a golf course. Yeah, I mean five billion. It's a lot, right, Like no way a golf course. The probably the nicest golf course in the world is you know, a billion or two. So I could buy like a pretty nice one for three mins. We're assuming this is like it is either tax free or what you actually got was ten billion and you yeah, yeah, what you got out of Yeah you said it goes straight tax straight into your bank account. So yeah, we'll say tax free. What about what about you? I'll probably buy like my brother's a house, my mom house already, buy my hotel.

5:46 I'll just live. I think they all want to like five actually stupid hell, they wouldn't see each other, You're right, big a little compound houses around. Yeah. And then I really like clothing, so I'd probably try to open up like a clothing because I really like fabrics, like how certain fabrics feel and all that. So I do want to get into that and then maybe make a movie. A movie, Yeah, sure, a movie's movie budgets for sure. I think that a sort of sick and twisted thought. And I'm having is like I would still want to do stuff that made money, like whether whether it was you know, investments or whatever wouldn't necessarily be you know, you always wanted my work, but yeah I would.

6:31 Yeah, I'd probably buy a billion dollars worth of real estate, right, yeah, and because then I still have four billion, yeah exactly. Yeah, it's just such an obscene amount of money. I mean I would buy a house or an apartment or apartment building or whatever in you know, other places that I wanted to live, right New York, London, you know, yeah, yeah, it's easy. It's easy. Vacation home and airbnbing on the side. Yeah, so or a hotel like yeah, yeah for real. Yeah, I mean there's no way, like a decent Hilton is more than a billion. You just set up. You set yourself up with a penthouse in the hotel, and you know, so when you go to that city that you stay in that penthouse. I wonder what a hotel costs. I was just driving this strip in La I wanted to drive up and down on the Super Bowl to see everything crazy because they're all like announcing on there. You know, CBS News is kicking them driving by and Jerry Rice is on the side of the road. Type show is just so weird.

7:27 In Vegas, yeah, yeah, Vegas on the strip, on the strip, and like the amount of construction there, Like Tropic Cana is one of the older hotels from the seventies. They're ripping that whole thing down and putting the new A's Stadium supposedly, Yeah, the plans. I mean, they are ripping that thing down, which makes me think, you know, it's all but inc apparently it's still a little bit of a question, right, Yeah, I don't know. There there's money way beyond me if they're going to rip that thing down, like the process of doing it, there's info that they know that we don't know. Yeah. Well, also remember that the Fountain Blue. Yeah, they started that one in seven, they shut down in eight and it stayed shut down for for sure. But that was also the realisteen years or real estate crisis. Yeah, yeah, same time, and Vegas is just such a different place beside the point like what's that That arena is probably a billion oh yeah, the normally they just had the Super Bowl the Allegiant Agent. Allegiant I think was like maybe one point four Yeah, I think similar with so far so if I's known as like the nicest highest tech one in the world, Yeah, maybe i'd do some art ship by like a like like the sphere in Vegas. Think of something that has utility but also like an art project. Throw that somewhere. I've gotta go. I've got to go visit that. I gotta go see what's up. It's cool. It's cool from the outside. I haven't been in yet. John Mayer's gonna be there. I'm gonna try to sneak into that.

8:56 But uh, from the outside, it is pretty fucking cool. I don't know if they'll do it everywhere, but I heard it. I've seen kind of a playlist of sort of the best versions of the of like fan cameras in the in the audience for You Too. And then her description is like literally, there are times where they make it look like you're outside. They like to make the sphere disappear and you and you can see, yeah, everything around you. Yeah. On the off days, it's like an animal movie. Yeah, So I assume it probably feels like that kind of yeah, And it's so high pixels and ships and they do they do like the forty stuff where there's there's like when when there's a wind, there's a wine that's you know, smells in the whole. I remember seeing the first one ever that it was a captain Now, what's his name? Fuck?

9:46 Is that Disneyland? It was Michael Jackson. Oh, Captain EO. Captain EO. I remember seeing that in the nineties. It was a Michael Jackson Disney ride that was forty so like it'd be raining and they sprinkle you or he like trips and then like slaps your ankles and shit, shit like that. That stuff is cool. It's crazy how that's been around since the eighties. Yeah, we have, we have a really like gone beyond. Yeah, nothing's ever new really, Yeah, it's just refined over time. I guess, Yeah, I guess with the Apple goggles, maybe we'll get there. Yeah. Five billions almost too hard to even comprehend. I hear that a lot of people are taking going back to Division Pro for a second, and a lot of people are taking them back because the get headaches from it. Oh, I'm sure. I mean the VR world is gonna literally we're gonna have to evolve our brain and eyes. Yeah, they it's so intense.

10:31 Yeah, depending on how long you're on that thing. Yeah, yeah, for sure come out looking like a crackhead. Yeah, I mean there's got it something even over the last twenty years of how much we're on our phones that are fucking our eyes, Like, there's no way that's normal. Yeah, there's a I didn't read the article. I saw headline the guy who worked for twenty four hours straight, like yeah, even just that weight, I'll be listening to headphones, like headphones like this on an airplane ride or now. I have earbuds at home, but I used to have big headphones. I worked on my computer, played video games, and I do that, you know, streaming for thirteen hours. Yeah, you get the worst headache even just from the pressure on your top of your head, like any of it, you're gonna get fucked. Let alone, Yeah, let alone on your eyes and you're seeing shit. Yeah, that's gonna suck you up. Didn't someone else just come out with a regular sunglass version though, like a shitty version. But fuck, I don't know if it was an ex Apple worker or something not Google. Yeah they have the Google Glass.

11:26 I thought I saw something even different than that. That someone came out with some like you know, some bifocal motherfuckers with crazy info on them. I don't I don't even want five billion dollars, the headaches, people knocking on my damn door. Well, I mean, like they say, if you win the lottery, you should claim it with it with a private anonymous LS. Yeah, private, we'll see. Yeah, but even so, people don't know, but people can, like they can tell your spending patterns change. Yeah, your cousin's going to notice therehouse for a reason. Yeah, Yeah that's crazy. US is in Bora Bora for a month. Yeah, that's one hundred thousand dollars. Ways, yeah, yeah, people are gonna they're gonna figure that bullshit out right quick. I don't know a thing that we we've talked about, like like charity to family. We haven't talked about like charity charity. I would have to do an insane amount of research if I was gonna throw in insane amounts of money, you know, Like now I've donated obviously a bunch of places and Alzheimer's Association all that, but I'm throwing a couple of thousand and I just I do a little research, you know. But then I crossed my fingers that it's good. But like if you're gonna throw ten billion until million, like they better be curing cancer, like you better be doing some shit back there. I think you have to start your own so that you control what happens with it. Yeah, that would be cool. That would be a cool side project to give you a little bit of work and hire a team that like actually believes in the cause.

12:46 And again with that kind of money of unlimited resources, because you can hire anyone. Yeah, you can hire anyone except a billionaire. Yeah, anyone on the planet's purchasable of talents. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. A sports team would be cool because because then you can like integrate all that the art, the arena stuff, and the charity. You just run it through your sports team. Yeah. Maybe that's why I do. Maybe I go buy the fucking sack Kings or some bullshit. I don't even know who I buy. Then the MAVs. Yeah, Mark Cuban, he's out, bro, he's out for a reason. Something's going on down there. He's building a town or something like that. I've heard that too. Town someone else was gonna do. I think Kanye Land to build a city. Great, there's actually there's somebody's trying to build one here between here and Pacaville, or between Baconville and San Francisco. I can't just a random between person. Yeah, no, no, it's a it's a cupball of rich dudes. It's like they've been buying up land, like farm land that they wanted, and there's like they have to get like zoning approval and stuff like that. Then there's like a I think there's a ballot initiative around it.

13:52 Weird. Yeah, it start your own fucking country. I don't know either, I don't want to know. I'm never going to Vacaville. I'm not going on the freeway again. This is a city freeway either way. Yeah. Yeah, how do they have that? That is a shitty freeway to be the main vein in San Francisco. Yeah. Somebody I heard describe it as a video game, like the Freeway. Yeah, especially once you get past Dixon. Yeah, once you get past Dixon and until you get to like Vallejo, it's pretty shitty. Yeah, and then it turns into like, okay, all right, ladies and gentlemen. New episodes Wednesday Friday, headed into discord. Let me know what the hell you'll do with five billion? And can I just don't can't even compliment, you know, if you do a million then you really gotta think, right, because you got a budget. Okay, you got a million tomorrow, what do you do?

14:37 But a five billion you literally can do any and everything. That's the that's the issue there. You know, a million you can do a lot of things, but you have to do like one, right, you get like one big old thing to do. But a five billion is talk about some fuck you money? Holy shit, I mean, elon, No one has five billion in the bank. Yeah, not in the bank, no one, Because everybody's everybody use a billionaire. The majority of their money is investment. They're not liquid. Yeah, billion, five billion dollars. Yeah, maybe billion dollars, maybe something overseas that we don't know about, you know, so I'm off the books, Saudi prints. But other than that, ain't nobody got five billion. But good company, Discord dot com, uh, clothing drop coming very very soon. I think we're looking at March fourth, which is like a silly joke. My English teacher in high school used to make two four to two four, well like March fourth, like go forward. Oh okay, but it's also twenty four, twenty four, twenty four. That is crazy.
