The recently revived-from-the-dead news story, of a man being charged 23 quadrillion dollars due to a computational error in 2009, presents people with the fantasy of having more money than the world's richest people combined.
If you obtained 23 quadrillion dollars that was available to be spent: What would you do with it?
The first thing I would do is go down to the nearest bank and ask to withdraw a million dollars in five cent coins, and if they refuse, buy the bank and force them to do it. And then repeat this every day until I posses every single five cent coin in the city.
And then ad infinitum with increasing denominations of coins, until I have every coin in the entire city.
I'd buy every single person on Steam a copy of War Z.
And give the rest of the money to charity.

By "recently" you mean from 2009 right?
[QUOTE=gooooooooooogle;41053798]i would save it[/QUOTE]
for what
what would you possible want to do with 23 quadrillion dollars just lying around
save it for something that costs 25 quadrillion?
I'd save maybe a billion for myself and destroy the rest.
There's no way for that amount of money to even exist without completely destroying the economy.
buy out bloomberg and frankenstein and get them to shut their mouths about gun control
manipulate the system to nullify the NFA and certain other acts/amendments
single-handedly fix the crime problem in chicago, new york, and all of california over the course of ten years
bring america to its former glory
fund eagle cloning programs
release eagles from a box every time i make an appearance anywhere
become MtE (male to eagle)
i am eagleman

You could hide most of it and keep it separate from the economy so it doesn't cause an explosion in inflation. With that much money you could build a pretty badass giant vault.

Buy the fastest internet connection commercially available, build the best gaming pc possible with today's technology, renovate my room so I am able to sustain myself in there for years without leaving, and buy all the games on steam. I will also need a very strong chair to support my ass for a few years without wearing down.

[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;41053865]By "recently" you mean from 2009 right?[/QUOTE]
Ah yes, it should say "the recently Necro'd news story".
Research how to start a charity foundation and do so, because I wouldn't know what to do with the money myself - I'm a cheapskate by nature. Hearing stories of celebrities buying multiple cars and houses, as well as the words of a certain wealthy fat whale in Australia, makes me wary of being so rich. Not to mention that I think receiving such a huge amount of money would have economic repercussions.
I'd probably keep ~$1 million for myself to pay off certain debts for my family and I, as well as have enough to buy a modern car, gaming PC, and proper university education. I guess I would keep whatever was left over for a rainy day (and to pay the rent on wherever I moved after college).
i would like to go to the DR Congo and deliver humanitarian aid, maybe build some schools and all that jazz
touring the middle east would also be pretty cool too, in fact, i think i'd just go around the globe
oh and i'd buy a cool new guitar i suppose
I'd buy everyone in the world a cheeseburger off the dollar menu from McDonalds. A million times.
My friends and I have discussed this at length. We decided we would each buy ourselves a mech, then buy out our neighborhood and become godkings of our area. We'd patrol the neighborhood in our mechs and shoot people with airsoft guns if they annoyed us. Also, we'd build extremely lavish mansions next to one another for ourselves - and then connect them via a simple underground tunnel system. This would force future buyers (after our deathsR) to either buy all three houses or buy one of them and have an extremely complicated time removing the tunnel.
Also, my idea was to put a giant gumball machine with a giant bucket filled with $1,000,000 in quarters on the corner of a city street. You can take as many quarters as you want, and we'd refill it every once in a while.
Build a giant mansion, giving every room its own kitchen, bathroom, living room and bedroom. For myself I'd build en ever better room. Then, whn all that is finished, Id take in all the people that are homeless thanks to the goverment and the shit economy, and give them a room in my huge mansion.
I'd buy the biggest booty in town
I would give every single person in the world $3,000,000 and then see what happens.
I would do something similar to story of "Eden of the East". I would give a select few people $50,000,000 or something and make it their duty to make a positive difference in the world to alleviate world hunger, break down hate barriers between races etc.
But if they failed to do anything positive with the money, and use it for selfish purposes, they will be brutally murdered.

That would be roughly $21,370,081,200,000,000 according to the current world population (3000000 * 7,123,360,400), that takes it to x^16.
I can't even figure out how to pronounce that.
