Billions in Change: 5 hour energy mogul is pretty cool

What would YOU (each of you reading this) do if you found yourself to be worth $4B in a few years time? How would you spend it? Would you do what this guy is doing? It's fun to think about. Having seen this, I think I would do something like this.... Maybe not as focused on direct impact on the downtrodden... but the R&D angle, funding 'useful to everyone' tech is really cool.

I'd probably want to do something to further the production of clean energy... like cold fusion or super solar collectors.....

That, and I'd have a Bat Cave and all of the toys that go with it.

Buy slaves to build me a pyramid, and hire Jack Black as chief slave whipper.

I would want to do something similar, except it would be work to find just the right people to give money to. You can't just start throwing money around because then everyone will come out of the woodwork with their hand out.
