I'd buy/build a 2000 - 5000 or so capacity indoor/outdoor concert venue. Then I'd buy Topps. First order of business would be to get rid of redemptions. Secondly, create a customer service department that actually cares about customers.

Sounds like you’re building a charity, not a business

100 billion is basically do anything money..
Very first expenditure would be a team of lawyers on retainer.. Private jet and helicopter for sure. I never bothered to get my private helicopter license when I got out of the army but if I could buy my own I'd get it. Houses all over, Georgetown CO, up by Yellowstone, key west, on an island somewhere. Lots of travel, I do a lot now but would do even more. Private chef for sure. Fleet of cars including lots of late 60's pontiac muscle cars, McLaren F1, Acura supercar. Multiple ranches/land. Full size private imax theater. High grade mantle and nolan Ryan card collection. Complete high grade Morgan dollar coin collection. Artwork including Banksy and Norman rockwell. First edition books. Dental implants to never have to worry about cavities or fillings or root canals again. A nice, large fully stocked bunker. My class 3 license and a large machine gun collection including my two favorites an original 45 Tommy gun and an m249 saw. A seat on one of the SpaceX flights to space. Satellite smart phone(i hate losing signal) tickets to the home run derby and all star game every year. Id give all my family members, friends, and every one that was ever nice to me a large amount of money(not all at once, would set up an annuity for them so they couldn't lose it all or ruin their lives with it). Id donate 1 billion to children's hospital (with oversight to ensure the money was spent wisely and not wasted or stolen) Id put a billion into political lobbyists and politicians pushing for the things I believe in( second ammendment, term limits for ALL political positions, morality clauses for all political positions, public achool reform to focus on actual teaching and learning rather than test taking). Defense fund for those arrested for nonsense gun regulations like gun length, large caliber, unlicensed suppressors, etc. If a tv show i liked got canceled without an actual ending, id finance a finale for them so I could see a good ending, lol. Id set up a series of world wide, very high dollar , real treasure hunts. Metal detecting excursions all over the world. Set up and finance my own company focusing on shipwreck discovery and salvage. Buy some super secret allergy cure they don't let ordinary people have, lol. The obligatory two chicks at the same time, lol. Id go out on a fishing trip on one of the "deadliest catch" crabbing boats as a greenhorn Work a season with Parker Schnabel on his Gold Rush gol mine. Spend a season with the guys looking for treasure on Oak Island Swimming pool full of gold coins so I could swim in it like scrooge McDuck |

I’d get an actual centrist elected President and spend the rest of it tying up the major media institutions in lawsuits for every single infraction they commit.

I was thinking Guardians of the Galaxy pinball, but I can put Adam's family on the list.

I would buy a large chunk of Land in a nice somewhat secluded area.
- Put a Giant Privacy wall, row of trees around it, and security gate. - Build a big lake in the middle - Build houses all around the lake and give one to each of my friends and family that I wanted to be around. - Build a huge Mansion for myself - Build a Gym, Theater, Pool, every kind of sports/recreation court, park, BBQ area, etc for the community to use. Basically have a big party with friends and family and build a community that helps/loves each other for life.

I’d get a weekend morning nanny to get up with my kids at 5:30am and take them somewhere so I could sleep in till like 7:30.

I'd buy Canada.
