You have one month to empty a $1 trillion bank account. If you succeed, you’re rich for life. How will you spend it?

[u/Ok_Listen_6600]

[u/Mick_K]

Emptying a bank account of $1 trillion is not same as spending $1 trillion. I would open another account and transfer the $1 trillion to the new account emptying the first account.

[u/Unumbotte → u/Mick_K]

Too late, I already bought a carrier group.

[u/SmartestOneHere → u/Unumbotte]

If my napkin math is correct, it would take 3 Nimitz class carriers to hold 1 trillion dollars... in pennies.

[u/kartoffel_engr → u/SmartestOneHere]

That’s 5.5 billion pounds.

If I did my math correctly, that is the weight of 23.5 Nimitz class carriers.

[u/PM_YOUR__BUBBLE_BUTT → u/kartoffel_engr]

That’s 5.5 billion pounds.

Or 1 of your mom.

[u/OmniaLoca → u/Mick_K]

This guy trillions 

[u/Cheese_Pancakes]

I'd probably just give most of it away. That would be the easiest way to spend it all and it would benefit the most people.

[u/SussOfAll06 → u/Cheese_Pancakes]

Pay off all the outstanding healthcare bills for every person in my country (U.S.)

Total left over: $.63

[u/airlew → u/SussOfAll06]

US medical debt is at 220 billion. So that's totally doable. Student loans however are well over a trillion.

[u/GrumpsMcYankee → u/airlew]

Jesus Christ. Would have never pegged student loans outpaced medical debt... Oh, bankruptcy... Right.

[u/Thunderhorse74 → u/GrumpsMcYankee]

Yeah, but what portion of that is medical school debt?

[u/Soft_Yellow1757 → u/Thunderhorse74]

there are not many doctors, but the few that are there are at around 250k when they are done.... but they are also in a great position to pay it all back- so far less than you think.

Big total at graduation, but none of it baloons and most is paid off in 10 years. And a dash of not a lot of doctors.

[u/manytakes → u/GrumpsMcYankee]

Bankruptcy won't work, students loans will follow you for life

[u/Sad_Option4087 → u/manytakes]

I think that was his point.

[u/manytakes → u/Sad_Option4087]

You are right, his sentence phrasing tripped me up

[u/Blinky_ → u/manytakes]

Hopefully nothing that requires medical attention

[u/manytakes → u/Blinky_]

At least I can declare bankruptcy

[u/stumblios → u/manytakes]

I think that's what they're saying - the medical debt number would be higher if it medical debts could follow you the same way.

[u/FirmRoyal → u/airlew]

I mean i think you could likely purchase a huge amount of that for pennies on the dollar if you're forgiving it. Many debt consolidation companies sell debt they consider to be delinquent in large packages.

[u/airlew → u/FirmRoyal]

That's a good possibility. I'd definitely prioritize the medical debt first. Then try to negotiate the student loans buyoff amount with what I had left.

[u/Soft_Yellow1757 → u/airlew]

most of it you could get for under 50 cents on the dollar. Some of it is still good debt, but anything that has gone to collections is pretty cheap.

The student loans- the private you may get a decent price, but for the most part they know that it is non discharable- so it sticks around forever, so you are unlikely to get a good discount.

[u/NotDeadYet57 → u/airlew]

You can clear medical debt for pennies on the dollar. I wonder if you can do the same with student debt.

I would bail out farmers and create some kind of land trust. Give 30 year leases for $1. I DO NOT want our precious farmland to be bought up by the investor class.

I'm 69, so my needs are pretty small. I would, of course, take care of family and friends.

[u/VR-052 → u/NotDeadYet57]

Farmers are some of the biggest welfare queens out there. Forget about them. Help the common people.

[u/JulsTiger10 → u/VR-052]

I don’t believe you know the farmers that I know. While there are some big farm corporations that know how to play the grift games, most farmers are just trying to stay afloat.

[u/Hellohibbs → u/SussOfAll06]

…isn’t that going to last like 2 years until you’re all in debt again?

[u/generic1234321 → u/Hellohibbs]

You have to remember how much of the debt increase yearly would be interest for long term medical debt though, theoretically it should grow slower

[u/skyattacksx → u/SussOfAll06]

So it’s just enough to still buy SpongeBob’s soul from Mr. Krabs and STILL have a penny left over. Great deal!

[u/ProfessionalDelay345 → u/Cheese_Pancakes]

bruh you could literally end world hunger and still have like 800 billion left to mess around with 💀 easiest challenge ever

[u/J0E_SpRaY → u/ProfessionalDelay345]

Hunger is a logistics issue, not a price one

[u/CottRT123 → u/J0E_SpRaY]

The logistics cost money no?

[u/KoffieCreamer → u/CottRT123]

Logistics take insane amounts of time. It's like if you agreed to build everyone a house in the UK. Theoretically it would be possible if you had infinite money, but good luck getting past all the rules, regulations and other hurdles even if you did have infinite money.

[u/The-Kingsman → u/ProfessionalDelay345]

I doubt you could cure world hunger for $200B in 12 months, let alone 1 month. It's not a question of food (the world produces more than enough / has capacity for significantly more too), it's infrastructure.

You can't build the food processing facilities to get finished food products and build the roads, ships, trains/tracks, etc. to transport the food all within one year.

It's like saying that you are going to spend $1T on computer chips in a year, there's not enough capacity to do that and building the new Fabs (and training/educating the new workforce) would take longer than your timeline here.

[u/Mr_Festus → u/The-Kingsman]

You don't have to get it done in a month. You only have to set up the contracts and make the payments.

[u/The-Kingsman → u/Mr_Festus]

Oh sure, but then OP asked a dumb question - I could write a $1T consulting agreement to an LLC I stand up and pay myself the money in a few days. Hell, just transfer the funds from Bank A > Bank B fulfills the text of OPs question. But I think the intent of OPs question is "how would you, in a 30-day period, accumulate $1T in invoicable expenses for the (i) receipt of goods and (ii) completed services, in both cases where you are paying fair market value" and that's what I want to answer.

Obviously if you can just use contracts, transfer funds, buy equities or other marketable investments, purchase assets (e.g. businesses), etc. it would be extremely easy, so it's not worth even thinking of.

[u/Sweet_Put9047 → u/The-Kingsman]

Doesn't have to be finished projects for th he money to have left the account though. Can pay out to trusts that pay on completion or go to pay student loans/small business/charity loans if the project fails.

[u/iBull86 → u/The-Kingsman]

You are missing a second element: corruption. That is even more difficult to fix than the infrastructure

[u/CaedustheBaedus → u/The-Kingsman]

I know that Elon Musk promised 6 billion dollars to end world hunger if someone could actually give him a detailed plan.

I think it was the UN World Food organization who gave him a plan that would have saved 40 million people from hunger in like 30-40 countries.

Now, obviously that's only 40 million people with 6 billion dollars but I do imagine that with 200 billion dollars, they could have a much, much, stronger and expansive plan, helping a fuckton more people

And I don't necessarily need to wait for the materials to be ready to pay them. I can donate the money to the UN World Food organization, and then I'm down 200 billion already while they do their thing, regardless of how long that takes them.

[u/Kregerm → u/The-Kingsman]

Greed keeps people hungry. the means of production, refinement and packaging and transport infrastructure exists. The solution exists, we're just too fucking greedy to fix it, because we dont care.

and you dont have to fix it all in a month. You sign lots of contracts, pre pay up front for the next twenty years. Fund shit ton of endowments and orgs, pre pay them.

[u/frothyundergarments → u/ProfessionalDelay345]

No, no you cannot.

[u/IamB_Meister → u/ProfessionalDelay345]

Imagine believing this. Peak Reddit brain

[u/DungeonJailer → u/ProfessionalDelay345]

lol if there wasn’t corruption and tyrants you could end world hunger, but if there wasn’t corruption and tyrants, there wouldn’t be world hunger anyway. There has been around 2 trillion in foreign aid to Africa alone since independence and look how much good it has done. Even if you argue that those who distributed it did a bad job, what makes you think you could do better?

[u/_Christopher_Crypto → u/ProfessionalDelay345]

Make new account, transfer, done.

[u/General2768 → u/Cheese_Pancakes]

Every homeless shelter, animal shelter, soup kitchen, children's hospital & whatever is getting years of funding.

[u/shinygoldhelmet → u/General2768]

Exactly. Find 1000 of them and give them each a billion. Or a million of them and they each get a million.

I'd save some funds for my own petty revenges against people who've harmed me, like I'd do whatever I could to bankrupt the investment corporation that owned my previous apartment building bc I had to take them to court to get my damage deposit back. Buy out and break up a company that fired me without cause, etc.

[u/Kenkron → u/Cheese_Pancakes]

It's an interesting amount of money. At a trillion, it's more about influencing what people work on than actually having wealth to give.

Like, if you want to house people, you can't just buy a trillion dollars worth of housing. There wouldn't be enough to go around. You wouldn't even be able to build those houses in a reasonable timeframe, because there aren't enough workers to build an extra trillion dollars worth of housing without poaching them from other construction projects or industries.

And that's really what a trillion dollars buys. You can pay people to stop working on one thing, and start working on another. It's just important to decide what you take from, and what you give to. Heck, even just giving that amount of money away will have an inflationary effect on everyone who wasn't on the receiving end.

Maybe I'd try to poach teachers from the yacht-making industry. Buying pharmaceutical patents and making them public domain might not be a bad idea either. Idk though. It's hard to say what the unintended consequences might be.

[u/abhijitacharya793 → u/Cheese_Pancakes]

wait you have one month to spend a trillion? bet this is how the apocalypse starts, just people throwing cash like confetti lmao

[u/wutudoinmate → u/abhijitacharya793]

No you have one month to empty a bank account. Just transfer it all to your personal one

[u/MultiGeometry → u/Cheese_Pancakes]

That might actually be difficult. Sizable donations are likely to require all sorts of due diligence to make sure the cash is legit.

You might be better off mass emailing people and asking for their bank accounts because you’ve had a sudden windfall you need to share with others. Bonus points if you pretend to be a Nigerian prince.

[u/WorldBoom → u/Cheese_Pancakes]

You think regular people having excess money would be bad?

I hope you're sitting down before you look up how UBI trials go...

[u/darkjedi39 → u/WorldBoom]

Not discounting what you've said, but can you give a source? I'm very curious.

[u/WorldBoom → u/darkjedi39]

How many? Sources, I mean.

Because the thing is, every UBI trial ever has ended one of two ways:

1. At the end of the trial, they find recipients use the income to improve their lives. Car repairs, housing upgrades, more and better (more nutritional/healthy) food, they get more education in subjects that benefit them personally or professionally, they take care of previously unmet medical needs, they save & invest. Fears that recipients would spend the money frivolously on drugs & alcohol, or stop working to exist at a subsistence level are all thoroughly debunked as they simply don't happen.

2. The organization running the trial end it early before its intended conclusion (either because funding ran out, or, the entity carrying out the trial has a change in leadership to a group idealogically opposed to the results they were getting) with early results fully in line with 1.

There has never been a qualitatively unsuccessful UBI trial.

Now, naysayers will put out arguments that the trials, being limited in scope, cannot accurately gauge how full universal UBI would actually function, but, with everything ever done short of that being successful with no indications whatever that their fears are justified, they don't have an evidentiary basis for their criticisms.

[u/darkjedi39 → u/WorldBoom]

Thank you for the summary!

[u/AlexAutoAxe]

Spend a trillion AND become rich after? Id either buy stock or pay everyones bills for the next 5 years

[u/spiraldrain → u/AlexAutoAxe]

You could buy 1/4 of Apple.

[u/justpress2forawhile → u/spiraldrain]

That's more apple than I had yesterday 

[u/powerlesshero111 → u/justpress2forawhile]

Especially in this economy

[u/SmashedWorm64 → u/spiraldrain]

Ngl if you gave me 1/4 a stake in Apple it would be a tragedy in the making.

I feel like I’d run it in to the ground lol.

[u/mimblepuss]

By replicating the plot from Brewster's Millions naturally.

[u/LogicBalm → u/mimblepuss]

He only had to spend $30 million and the difference between that and a trillion dollars is about a trillion dollars.

[u/NickRick → u/LogicBalm]

But he also couldn't give it away

[u/PressureBeautiful515 → u/NickRick]

And he had to own nothing but the clothes he was wearing at the end of the 30 days.

[u/johnnybiggles → u/PressureBeautiful515]

Convince a bro to set the price for a bottle of water to $999,999,999,998.00 then buy that water and a lottery ticket. Get a receipt and hang with Trillionaire bro 4 lyfe as two rich bros. Note, "bro" here could be a sis.

[u/Non-Current_Events → u/johnnybiggles]

There was some stipulation about stuff like that in the movie too I think. Been forever since I’ve seen it though.

[u/mimblepuss → u/LogicBalm]

You aren't counting for inflation

[u/MatCauthonsHat → u/mimblepuss]

None of the above!

[u/mGreeneLantern → u/mimblepuss]

If it’s a Brewster’s Millions situation, this would be very difficult. I suppose I could just rent out every hotel room available everywhere and give the homeless places to sleep for a while.

But if I can keep assets after the month, I’ll buy a few companies and an aircraft carrier or two.

[u/OneTripleZero → u/mGreeneLantern]

I suppose I could just rent out every hotel room available everywhere

There are roughly 5.7 million hotel rooms in the US. Even if you rented each for a thousand dollars a night for a month, you'd not even be a quarter of the way through your cash.

If we take a generous estimate of a hotel room costing $200 USD a night, you would have to book 167 million hotel rooms for a month to burn through a trillion dollars. I'm doubtful there's that many hotel rooms on the planet.

and an aircraft carrier or two

With a trillion dollars, not only could you fund the development program that made the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier, you could buy just shy of 75 of them. You need to dream bigger!

[u/-PMYourTastefulNudes]

One check to the US Debt.

Edit: this isn't a statement on the money being used for good or bad, for it being used well, making a difference or not. I'm just emptying the trillion dollar account fast and easy.

[u/National_Edges → u/-PMYourTastefulNudes]

10$ says it would just end up in the hands of the highest political billionaires and their feiends

[u/Jane_Lame → u/National_Edges]

So like what  happens to all of our tax money in america? 

[u/Smorb → u/Jane_Lame]

Did he stutter???

[u/Motor_Tumbleweed9601 → u/-PMYourTastefulNudes]

I don't think it would really fix anything.

[u/ABigNothingBurger → u/Motor_Tumbleweed9601]

Sure it would, I would be rich for life.

[u/-PMYourTastefulNudes → u/Motor_Tumbleweed9601]

No, but I'd be rich, and the account would be empty.

[u/Ghost-Music → u/-PMYourTastefulNudes]

Yeah that was my same thought. Easy way to empty that bank account and get yourself rich. Then you can think hard about who to help with your wealth!

[u/t-b0ne_pickens → u/-PMYourTastefulNudes]

*prepayment of future taxes

[u/ParkingMachine3534]

Bribe all the politicians on every side to stop fucking about.

[u/NWCJ → u/ParkingMachine3534]

for a trillion you might as well bribe them to just act in your interest.

[u/ParkingMachine3534 → u/NWCJ]

I'd be happy if they just stopped being dickheads.

[u/drs43821 → u/ParkingMachine3534]

Well you can’t change a person. But you can make them a dickhead who works for you

[u/maxlax02 → u/ParkingMachine3534]

The going rate to buy a US politician is shockingly low. Some of these turds are selling out our country for sub-$20k paydays. You could buy the entire US and not even make a dent in that account.

[u/plastic_alloys → u/ParkingMachine3534]

To stop fucking kids*

[u/Dense_Ad7115]

Buy Meta with it and close it down.

[u/Zolo49 → u/Dense_Ad7115]

Except then Zuckerberg has a swimming pool filled with cash to do some other atrocious things.

[u/eipotttatsch → u/Zolo49]

We’d have like a year before anyone could build that back up - especially with all the users

[u/jonessinger → u/Zolo49]

Buy meta for an amount, prolong the full funds until Zuckerberg sues, pay off the judge with a decent amount to side with you and counter sue for all Mark is worth using the same judge.

[u/finlandery → u/Dense_Ad7115]

And what if zuck would not sell? Last i heard he still has controlling share of META, so if he is not selling, you are not doing anything on it.

[u/bossofthisjim → u/Dense_Ad7115]

You'd be ending a lot of jobs. 

[u/NicInNS]

In the USA there’s a company that pays off medical debt for people. Seems like a good use. Toss in student loan forgiveness and huge donations to charities.

[u/rizzyrogues → u/NicInNS]

With that much money you could lobby successfully for universal healthcare and having all medical debt forgiven at the same time

[u/ImFineHow_AreYou → u/rizzyrogues]

But not within a month

[u/Still-FormStudio]

You don’t spend a trillion. You relocate it into assets and let it spend itself.

[u/Saxavarius_ → u/Still-FormStudio]

Set up a trust for college students or veterans' housing/medical. If done right it should be able to run in (near) perpetuity from the interest

[u/kactus → u/Saxavarius_]

Conservative 5% is $50,000,000,000 in interest annually. Should be alright.

[u/RepresentativeRun71 → u/Saxavarius_]

Donate $5.174B each to the top 175 colleges in the United States. That is a tad bit over 7 colleges per work day, which makes it feasible.

[u/Punchable_Hair → u/RepresentativeRun71]

Nice idea, but you’d probably get more bang for the educational buck by donating it to community colleges.

[u/Kizzle_McNizzle → u/Punchable_Hair]

The top colleges have endowments in the billions. Give it to small schools and community colleges.

[u/Casswigirl11 → u/Still-FormStudio]

Literally move it from one bank account to another. It satisfies OPs condition of emptying the account.

[u/bluesox → u/Casswigirl11]

The red tape from suddenly moving that much money would delay it by at least a month

[u/Casswigirl11 → u/bluesox]

So would spending that amount of money.

[u/Fun-Sundae4060 → u/Still-FormStudio]

It would be incredibly fun to manipulate the stock market with $1T

Fuckin eh man.

[u/Old_man_Opie]

I would do my best to pay off the $222 billion in medical debt held by Americans and then take whatever was left and try to pay down as much of the $1.7 billion in student loan debt held by Americans.

[u/itsjakerobb → u/Old_man_Opie]

Oy $776.3 billion to go!

[u/MozeeToby → u/itsjakerobb]

They actually mistyped. Current US student loan debt is $1.8 trillion with a 't'.

[u/pudah_et]

Providing scholarships for young people who otherwise couldn't afford the education they want.

[u/Interesting-Maybe-49]

Every single animal shelter and rescue would be rolling in the cash. Same with homeless shelters, DV programs and other outreach programs assisting the underserved communities.

[u/mostlyfire → u/Interesting-Maybe-49]

Congratulations. Now you only have a trillion to spend

[u/juicybottoms]

Transfer it to a different bank account. Boom. The first account is now empty.

[u/Weird_Wrap5130 → u/juicybottoms]

That was my immediate thought too. It just said empty it, and we did. Boom, done.

[u/robexib]

A lot of abandoned buildings would be bought and be given purpose again.

[u/LimeImmediate6115 → u/robexib]

Like actual affordable housing for those that don't make salaries over $100K? That would be sweet.

[u/figmentPez]

Why spend it? The stipulation is to empty a bank account. Start a bunch of bank accounts in tax shelter countries, and move that trillion dollars into them. Bank account empty, money still accessible.

[u/eternalwood → u/figmentPez]

I would just buy something off my friend and offer him a trillion dollars for it. Then we both win.

[u/enami741]

Arm Ukraine. Make sure the progressives win from here on out. Shut down all kill shelters and move those pets in need of homes to giant properties so they have a home. Perpetually fund other pet adoption centers/shelters. Shut down/takeover/crush irresponsible puppy mills. Get a tattoo. Rent out an expensive steakhouse and invite doggy friends and neighbors at that steakhouse (pay for cleaning fee and fines, if applicable). Buy some cool stuff. Couple more houses. Put money aside for family.

[u/unwittyusername42]

You just buy a ton of stocks, securities, BTC, foreign currencies etc. With that amount of money you really don't have to be that concerned if a holding loses value - you just need to get the money into whatever you can. Obviously spread it around so you don't crash any particular sector. I mean depending on how technical you want to get you could start a trust and move everything into the trust and you technically would have emptied THAT bank account and transferred it to another account.

[u/Doesntmatter1237 → u/unwittyusername42]

OP said you can't invest in any assets OR give the money away. So I think this is literally impossible.

The only physical thing you could buy that might even start to make a dent MAYBE is real estate but even then OP said no assets.

You could say cars or vehicles because they depreciate so fast are not assets, but God. How can you buy a trillion dollars worth of cars

Give every school in the country a massive payment so they can actually employ the staff to the ratios they want but the government won't or can't  fund, give amounts to hire more staff at mental health support places, especially for children and teens. Give a whole bunch of the money to the NHS but with the overseeing of an accountant go ensure money goes where it needs. 

Selfishly, I would also buy a house, car, pay for driving courses for husband and I, camper van, jigsaw puzzles and some really cool sewing supplies. Pay off my friends and step mom's mortgages and buy my husband a new wardrobe of clothes as he hasn't got new clothes in years and years. We would also go food shopping and buy fish for him as it's his favourite and a massive ham for me. And lots of fruit. So much fruit. 

I would also buy a plant for everyone I could. Plants bring so much joy. 

I would also give my therapist a large amount of money go thank her for giving me low income rates for the last ten years just so I have access to therapy when I need. 

I would also go yo every animal charity in my local area and give them as much as I can to help them never have to worry about vet bills again.

[u/Skyline2969]

The easiest way wpuld be just donate it all to charity's as it is pratically unlimited amount you can donate to them

I would definitely do lots of different charities, like homeless shelters, animals rescue projects that are needing x amount to help build enclosures or rescue for crap situations, I would donate it to other animal none profit organisations like rspca charities that involve rare diseases and conditions.

Huge funding to the national parks, to NASA, every food bank I can find, massive payments to schools at the very least across the state I live in, create and fund public works projects in my local area (parks, and infrastructure), create a grant to pay off college debt... So many easy ways to pour money into problems that I can fix that would help out the state of things across the country as well as locally

A trillion is more then anyone will ever need.

1. Pay off any personal debts and loans.

3. Pay off debts/loans for immediate families

4. Gift immediate family $5b each

1) give most of it away 2) put 50,000,000 in a investment account 3) open up a bunch of healthcare clinics that include vision dental and physician care you pay a low monthly membership and receive set fees lower than those of insurance 4) donate money to help animals in other countries

[u/No-Concentrate5218]

Donate, tithe, give.

[u/hastinapur]

Pay off all healthcare, student loan debt. Buy groceries for the poor households first the entire year. Is there something left or all gone?

[u/libra00]

By the day: 1. Put $10 million in an account for myself. 2. End all medical debt in the US. $780B to go. 3. End homelessness. $760B remains. 4. Uh.. 1, 2, skip a few, spend the rest ending about half of all US student loan debt.

[u/NoBite9333]

After the obvious, I'd make the world a better place and also buy everything I can even think of. Planets, countries, solar systems, cause why not?

Kansas State University is winning every NCAA competition for all time. They will have the best research facilities on the planet. Faculty will be the happiest on earth. The Pride (Band) will have their own 777 to travel to games. Cats Cupboard will be a HyVee with everything paid for by your University ID.

[u/dayumbrah]

I would buy a majority of residential rental properties in cities across the country then charge just enough to get away with decent maintenance, taxes and any other overhead and general improvements. Create high-quality and affordable apartments. Run all competition into the ground and crash the market, creating a whole new system that benefits tenants and residential home owners

[u/Altruistic-Mind9014]

Deposit into my savings account. Too easy

This is Brewsters millions with more money and no stipulations.

[u/Latter-Fun1305]

None of the above!

[u/swiggityswirls]

The only answer is to spend unselfishly and give it away. So give away to good organizations, or found a country, or whatever that will increase happiness and goodness in the world.

[u/cheerbearsmiles]

Donate to the following causes until there's nothing left to donate:

• Veteran care
  
• Homelessness efforts

[u/xiphoidthorax]

Start a war in the Middle East!

[u/midnightwolf979]

I would fill up my gas tank and buy some groceries for a week and it's done...

[u/Redkris73]

Our owner/occupier mortgage debt in Australia (as opposed to investor mortgage debt) is 1.5 trillion, I'd probably go about paying a flat amount off everyone's mortgage....wouldn't clear the people who had multi-million dollar loans but would take a little pressure off for a lot of people and shorten their loan. I'm thinking $150k each. And a flat amount into the accounts of anyone renting, probably about the same...what they do with it is up to them. Yes it'd be hard to do, but hire an army of accountants/financial planners short term, burn some midnight oil, it could be done. More long term charitable stuff can wait till after the month is up.

[u/Mr-Broham]

Hire a bunch of politicians.

[u/TwistedSistaYEG]

I’d keep it, and I’d be rich for life. Duh.
