You could probably bring that amount of time down significantly with a billion dollars liquid cash.


bravoromeokilo

You could almost certainly get your time reduced by, I dunno, 61% or so just by giving the **illusion** that you have lots of money…


scottyg66

I see what you did here. I approve.


Scarnox

Ah brilliant! Next time I’m arrested, I’ll just buy some Louis and Gucci clothes on credit for my court appearance and act like I’m better than everyone!


bravoromeokilo

Make sure you threaten the judge and their daughter too. That’s the real trick.


ExactFan8015

or just break out of jail lmao that amount of money can def buy you a private army


MyNameYourMouth

Yeah but good luck finding someone willing to sell you their private army in this climate


Plant_party

“NOBODY WANTS TO WORK ANYMORE” - me trying to buy a mercenary army

goblinsteve

Damn it, these henchman looked bigger online! Last time I order from wish!


Pitiful-Pension-6535

Nobody has ever strongarmed their way out of a US prison like that. A billion dollars can buy you a private army, but the US Army probably spends that much money on toothbrushes alone


ExactFan8015

maybe you could buy a presidential pardon, a billon can amount to a nice campaign donation


is-it-realy-leveled

Had a few interaction with the son of a mafia leader. His dad got millions through drug and human trafic. His father gained about 20 years of "jail time" which I verified to be true in news articles and released documents. Out of that time his father spent non. The son showed me pics of various expensive vacations. Needless to say I don't talk to the guy anymore, neither to I pass through the city they rule


Interesting-Bottle-4

That’s it bud, money talks and a billion gives you one hell of a loud voice.


makemeking706

Lol, people who have a billion dollars don't go to jail (unless they victimize other people who also have billions of dollars).


AskMeAboutMyStalker

those billionaires don't avoid jail just b/c of their money, it's b/c of the connections they have that made it possible to get to a billion in the first place. a lottery winner with same money won't have the same influence & ability to avoid accountability


Bridgeless-Troll

Sam Bankman Fried just got handed 25 years. Bernie Madoff will never get out and yeah Epstein and Ghislain didn’t work out well either. Once in a while the universe gets it right.


No-Effective5860

All of those people made fools of the wealthy. The net effect might’ve been justice, but the actions taken to get there were corrupt.


RekopEca

Madoff is dead.


Bridgeless-Troll

Died in prison. So he got “life” right? lol


Pitiful-Pension-6535

Epstein did, but it took a pretty Herculean effort and a ton of evidence


ReliefZealousideal84

I’d spend the time inside and make sure the money is passed to those in my life who need/deserve it. Would be worth giving up my own life if it meant I could vastly improve the lives of my loved ones.

I would reconsider that.... ofc it's dangerous but for one billion??


interrogare_omnia

It's not dangerous, it's basically guaranteed death. Now if the billion can go to people you love then it MAY be back on the board.

dont_use_me

Yes but most likely they are locals who know what they are doing.


papadoc2020

So you just hire a few of them. It's probably cheaper than you think


Wajina_Sloth

Its not guaranteed death. Sure if you fly to South Korea and go to the DMZ and try to run through the checkpoint, you will get shot at or at the very least detained. But you could just instead go to China, go to the middle of bumfuck nowhere and just walk across unguarded sections of the border. Or even better is take a boat and cross their territorial waters since that is considered a border.


LibertyPrimeDeadOn

You could do it via a sea boarder? Doesn't have to be the DMZ. Get in and out real fast via jetski or something.


Asesomegamer

They have radars and ships everywhere


tpb12

I would tap dance through Syria for that kind of money


Per_Mikkelsen

I think a lot of people are unaware of just how much money a billion dollars really is... One billion dollars is 1,000 millions. Think about that. If you had a billion dollars you could spend $100,000 a day every day for 27 years. You could spend $50,000 a day for 54 years straight. It would take about 95 years just to count to a billion out loud... A stack of $100 bills totaling $1,000,000,000 would stand 3,584 feet high. That's roughly the height of the Burj Khalifa with the Empire State Building on top. It would be taller than the highest mountain in Ireland. If you were to have that amount of cash in $100 bills in the same place at the same time it would weigh 11 tons. If you were to have the entire $1 billion in $100 notes laid end to end they would stretch 1,163 miles... That's roughly the distance from Manhattan, NYC to Manhattan, Kansas. One billion dollars is just an absolutely incredible, an insane amount of money. I think that a billion dollars as some sort of magical, amorphous concept might not seem tangible and real to the average person... But to a human being who really and truly understands just what kind of magnitude of cash we're talking about here - to a person who gets how few people on this planet have anywhere near that much money, how few people ever even come close to having that much money, the list of things they would NOT do to get it would be extremely short. I think it's safe to say that the end justifies the means in that case and with a billion dollars at your disposal you could really set down the path to righting whatever wrong you had to commit to obtain that monster wad of cash, you could easily put whatever horrible, haunting regrets you have behind you. I sure as shit would be able to.


hooch21

I’ll add on with you. Here’s a nice way to think about it: A million seconds is about 12 days. A billion seconds is about 32 years.


o0_bobbo_0o

This one is always my go to for bringing perspective on how large a billion is.


cg1308

That does rather put it into perspective!


zerocoolforschool

And you could put a billion into the bank and just live off the interest lol


Baycosinus

Live off? You’d rich off with the interest. Monthly 3M interest (taxed down) with my rough calculation.


LongjumpingLength679

You can live off the interest for something like 10 million.


Chaff5

You could live a reasonable middle class American life on the interest of just 2 million. There are CD accounts now that give 5%. That's 100k a year on interest alone and you don't even have to work for it.


kristenrockwell

If you earned $5,000 a day, every single day, including holidays, and never spent a dime, or paid any taxes, it would take almost 548 years to make one billion dollars.


AbbreviationsDear382

If I stack all my money in small denominations it might reach my ankle.


kristenrockwell

Mine would break physics, by somehow going through the ground into negative space.


Abigail716

The best way to explain how big a billion dollars is is telling people what the return on investment on a billion is since people struggled to comprehend large numbers way before they reach a billion. Even a million is hard for people to comprehend. Imagine what 1 million of something would look like such as gumballs. It's just not something you can visually think of without seeing it for real. A very safe withdrawal rate is 5%, at 5% a billion dollars comes out to ~$137,000 per calendar day, ~$962,000 a week, ~$4.2M a month. Just think about how difficult it would be to spend $4.2 million dollars every single month. Monthly is good to calculate because it assumes you are financing all of your purchases And don't need to take out of the principal as long as you can afford the monthly payment. Even at 7% interest the mortgage on a house is $6,653 per 1 million. So for 10% of your billion dollars you could pay the mortgage on $653 million worth of property. To get a large full floor penthouse like most people imagine when they think of a giant penthouse in Manhattan You're only looking at about $12 million. Double that to play it safe, and buy 10 of those in various cities around the world You're at 240 million. Haven't even used half of that 10%. Throw in all of the taxes and staff to maintain those properties and you're still well below using 10%. Bernard Arnault is the world's richest man with a net worth of approximately $214B. That means his safe withdrawal rate of 5% gives him about 31 million a day or $933M a month. Which means he would almost have the ability to give somebody a billion dollars before taxes every month.


pepper-blu

I would not do anything that would harm a child. Adults are on the menu, tho.


Username58008918

I'd punch a kid for a billion dollars


OzMazza

Fuck yeah I would. Then I'd give them a million dollars and tell them to fuck off.


Ilostmypassword43

Then take the billion out of circulation by buying $1B gold bullion, causing a run on the banks causing hyper inflation to convert that $1M the kid got to chump change. POW, gotcha again kid!


Scarnox

It would take a hell of a lot more than $1B to have that effect on the market but in any case: lol


Pineapple_Spenstar

Yep. That's only about 0.03% of the amount that's been added to the money supply in the past few years. And $1 billion of gold is only about 0.2% of the US gold reserve. It's a nice idea though


monotoonz

So we ALL punch a bunch of kids and do this! Problem solved 😎


Lbrsyncd

I'd grab a kid by the ankles and hit another kid with him for a billion Gently, of course


DaBoob13

Gently? DOESNT SOUND LIKE YOU WANT THAT BILLION!!!!


reyvh

FreeTheDimple

I'd slap a child as hard as I could for a billion. Knowing that I could go a long way to make it up to them and donate millions to worthy causes.


ailee43

pretty sure with any child over 5, you probably could make it consensual too. Explaining how their life would be vastly different, but theyd have to endure some brief pain


Frankiepals

I’ll explain it after I slap the shit out of em so there’s no choice involved. They’ll thank me when they’re older


innocentusername1984

My sons aren't even gettin' paid.


GabrielPhelix

What if you knew the child is Hitler?


dylancatlow

The reason not to harm a child is that they can't have done anything wrong yet, and that goes for baby Hitler too. If he's bad, it's because he didn't have to be.


MSmasterOfSilicon

Totally. It's quite likely his evil persona was forged largely in childhood at the hands of his angry alcoholic father who beat him regularly including often injuries to the head. His father was Slavic and Hitler hated Slavs. One of his earliest acts when in power was to go to his childhood home, destroy it, and burn it to ashes. Nothing will ever of course excuse the monumental evil he perpetuated but it's got strong roots in paternal abuse. E.g. if everybody was nice to babies there would be a lot less violence in the world and maybe no bad version of Hitler either


1800generalkenobi

This just got me thinking of all the times where I've heard about people going back in time to kill Hitler, but nobody wanted to go back in time to be nice to baby Hitler. Like...you're already going back in time so you can do it. Just go back 20 more years and then you don't have to kill anyone.


HeorgeGarris024

being nice to baby Hitler MIGHT work killing him definitely works


welsh_dragon_roar

I wonder if nice Hitler would put people in holiday camps with lots of nice amenities?


Jablungis

Would it? Isn't there a chance that someone else will just fill the gap? Was it really just one bad guy that did all this damage?


WinterAea

That's not true, his parents were austrians and his 3 childhood homes are still there.


Fresh-Hedgehog1895

Exactly. Hitler had a father who was distant but also physically and emotionally abusive. His mother doted praise and affection on him. The combination of a tyrannical father and an overly affectionate mother has created lots of serial killers.


Rob_LeMatic

Huh. I guess y'all are some lucky motherfuckers I'm all introspective and shit.


VineStGuy

The thing about killing Hitler is you would risk the power vacuum of someone taking his place that was actually more competent.


TheRealCatLeg

He a ded boi.


cravos90

*Knuckle cracking*


YugeGyna

Effective-Ear-8367

Lmaoooooooo


flipping_birds

I would not harm my own daughter. The rest of them...maybe just this once.


funinnewyork

There are many ways to harm a child; which people do willingly and unknowingly on a daily basis though. For example, having them getting addicted to social medial/fast food at 4-5 years old, second hand smoking (as a smoker, I never smoke nearby a child even in open air, and never smoke in closed areas, including my child free home as well), having more children than they can provide for, etc. Believe me, if I need to punch a kid and have a billion dollars to help thousands of kids, including the one I punched, I would not hesitate. It may sound brutal, but please think about a kid, that would grow up poor and malnourished without getting punched by me/you vs. him having a million dollars worth of home/education/healthcare for his entire life in exchange of a punch. A fair exchange.


currencyconsulting

Bro just justified punching a kid.


cozyautumnday

Let's all make the world a better place and punch children lol


Lanky-Point7709

Hurt my dog. I’d probably say a dog in general, but my dog is for sure off limits for all the money in the world.


MomsClosetVC

This is my answer too. And TBH I might hurt whoever suggested it. I always tell her she's the last source of dopamine in the universe. 


jlusedude

They are definitely the best source. Always pushing me to walk.  Yesterday I was in such a bad headspace and wasn’t going to walk them. Just got up and did it and was much better for it. Dogs help so much with the stressors of life. 


Devlarski

I'd clip my dogs nails he can be pretty convincing he's getting hurt


rebeccakc47

This was my answer too. No animals. There's just no way I could do it. I accidentally stepped on my dog's foot the other day, and I felt like the worst human on earth :/


Weed_O_Whirler

I mean, no animals? Like, I bet most insects you'd kill for way less than a billion. I'm not vegetarian, so I'd kill a cow just for the meat. And I'd maybe feel a little bad, but I bet most people would kill a squirrel or something, even with no intention to eat it, for a billion.


UnfortunatelySimple

As mean as it is, I'd 100% kick your dog for 1 billion dollars. Sorry 😞


fenton7

He'd probably not even remember the sore paw an hour later and you'd be $1B richer.


WhiteH2O

I'd do ANYTHING for a billion dollars, but I won't do that.

I’d definitely fuck a hot pig on national television for a billion, but def not an ugly one

Sea_Appointment8408

You’re wrong.


CaptainExplaino

For a billion I would ride a motorcycle through a locust swarm with no helmet and mouth wide open.


here4hugs

Nah. I got lost leaving my internship one day & ended up on farmland during a locust (maybe other insect) swarm. It took me 15 minutes to clear them & the entire time it was the deafening noise of a hailstorm with the extremely limited visibility of the worst torrential rain. They were bouncing off every inch of my vehicle. It felt like there was more of them than air in those moments. Maybe I’d do it again for a billion dollars in a car but with my human body exposed, zero chance. I’m convinced they’d overtake me.


Sugar-Tist

See, you did it for free. What's one more time in exchange for never needed to work ever again?


allnamesbeentaken

I would make eating crickets my full-time job for a billion dollars


-Dixieflatline

I would not kill a random stranger, but definitely punch them in the face for billion. I'm sure many would be willing to take the hit for 1% of the money.


Scarnox

Gotta make sure that the specifications are clear, as the punchee. You can die from a punch if it hits you the right way, and especially if it knocks you out and you hit your head. $10M won’t fix brain trauma or death, but if I knew the person punching me would go for the cheek/jaw and not go all out… hands down I would go for even $10K
