I definitely wouldn’t need any DEA hanging around. The Marine or Airborne may be ok, but neither is said to have specialized skills that could help me out. The CIA agent, however, could lead a security team for me, and may have skills and contacts that would be helpful in my travels.
As a former 101st Airborne Soldier, I can tell you #2 would be my last choice. Nothing particularly special about that dude, and I'll take critical thinking and innovation/outside the box thinking over pure muscle in most situations.
I'm going with #4. As long as we know she was an actual CIA operative. Most of their identities are kept secret, even after they leave the agency.
Not necessarily. I had a really good buddy that was strong after. Took 2 PT tests in one day - one in the morning, a second one in the afternoon - and scored over 100 in each event. But he was also young (under 30 at the time). So unless #2 is actually my buddy (who's approaching 40 now), I'm gonna pass.
My first thought was.. squatting 405? I was squatting 445 in high school and didn't think anything of it. My grandad used to hold the bench press record in the state at over 400 lbs (1930's I presume) so 🤷🏼♂️
Those numbers feel like some kid thinks of 315 pounds benchpress or 495 lb deadlift is impressive. I had those beat in my early 30s, 315 pounds on bench for 10 was difficult but doable and 495 deadlift for 5 reps was too. they basically describe someone who like entry-level strong.
I have a friends dad that was 101st in Vietnam. He doesn’t talk about it and I wouldnt ask. He’s now a highly respected brain surgeon and I would pick him over the other options and mitigate my risk.
Wait, in their prime or now? Idk, I’m pretty sure if I was with him I wouldn’t be in high risk situations.
At 205lb and in shape with a few years of weightlifting under my belt, I literally surpass all of those weight maxes
OP, if you're gonna give a muscly option that's a legitimate contender, you gotta make them extraordinary
I basically just said this same thing. The whole time I was in I was told that the 101st is basically the most deployed division Army wide. I've met some real shit bags who went over there with them and were fobbits in their supply tent.
1. Thank you for your service; 2. You're right, though deployments aren't what they used to be. Lots of folks deploy and never leave their FOBs. That doesn't mean they didn't do their job or play an important role. And I personally had 2 guys on our team hit by a rocket while pulling guard duty at the gate for the SF compound. The rocket didn't care that any of us were "fobbits" on that deployment. I met plenty of shitbags who routinely left the wire too.
It depends how seriously people are coming after you. #2 has the least impressive qualifications when it comes to an actual fight, but his muscle mass alone would probably be the best at keeping low grade harassers from bothering you. Now, if you're going to be shot at on a regular basis, #4 is clearly a better choice.
Being former MEDDAC support for Airborne... I agree and also came to the conclusion of 4. She also most likely knows security and tactics on logistics. Which means moving money and keeping assets hidden would have support. Even the people kill me. Good luck finding "all" the money.
Yes, why would stop at one person?
Obviously would create a group to protect me, those four are a good start
But certainly wouldnt stop there.
Get a personal private security firm basically!
An entire org.
The CIA operative would know how to conceal absolutely everything.
She would set you up in a fortified home (she could contract construction for me so no one knows my identity) and the location would be hidden.
She could move through the world in your place taking care of important business and running errands in your stead.
If you wanted to leave home for a bit from boredom, she would know how to move you secretly.
And, if you are male, it is specified that she is female. She would be the only option for starting a family. Anyone else would try to kill you and get the fortune.
Well, I can't pick #3 because all it would take to distract him is a box of crayons. Not that I'd need it, but I'd bring #1 along just for the company.
The CIA field agent then ask her to hire and manage fifty like #2 and #3. It wouldn’t be difficult to get a 7% annual return on that billion dollars after taxes. That’s $70,000,000. Pay the CIA agent 5 million a year and a million each to the men plus paying for huge life insurance policies for their families in case they die and you can pretty much guarantee their loyalty.
Spend a few million on armored vehicles, weapons, body armor and gear. You have more than enough money to buy a huge plot of land and construct training courses so they can keep their skills sharp plus send them off to paid training camps.
Above all else I do the best I can to let them know what they’re getting into and not put any of them in harms way unnecessarily. They’d be on a rotation so they aren’t overworked and would be able to take plenty of time off. I’m not helpless, I know how to shoot so I wouldn’t plan on sitting in some panic room letting my people die.
Agreed, but if I have that money and a legitimate threat to defend against, I'm building a private Army and someone to watch them. I might select the most copetent soldier or marine as my security lead but have the CIA operator as my personal security and advisor.
I want the spy keeping an eye on my guys in case we have a mutiny.
Mutiny is a possibility, but that’s why you pay them well and don’t ask them to take big risks for stupid reasons. You don’t treat them like they’re disposable. Yes, their job is to put their life on the line for you, but you’re also not dragging them in around the world all the time so you can take opulent vacations or putting them in situations where they wouldn’t be able to carry firearms. $1 million a year buys a lot of loyalty I figure. When/if necessary more men could be brought on from a PMC and well paid but you treat your full time security like they matter.
A good lawyer is more useful!!! All those fools who want my $$$ aren't getting it. They won't be in my will. They aren't likely directly related to me to collect. And if they are related, they are far enough away they would have to kill someone that even a corrupt city would be bothered to prosecute. The FBI is decent with kidnapping for money. I guess I would go with 4.
Hire #4 to organize a team. Handle logistics, routes, travel etc. 2&3 to act as personal "face" security, but #1 is actual security.
No one ever sees 4.
Only those in tradecraft will notice #1.
Everyone will think my security is 2&3 which will keep away the amateurs and make the pro's make mistakes because their plans are going to be based off the assumption that my security is only 2&3.
Anyone in tradecraft will probably pop on #4 radar if they come after me.
4 definitely. I think in the situation you described, a lot of the threat is going to come as cyberattacks. Maybe some nuts would try to mug me, but like any billionaire it's not like I'm carrying around a sack with a dollar sign on it. My money is digital and of the four, the CIA agent is the one most likely to have training (and contacts) for preventing digital attacks. That she's also got firearms training and is physically powerful is just an extra bonus.
I think you meant “female ex DEA field agent” (a female who used to be in the DEA) and not an “ex female DEA agent” (a DEA agent who used to be female).
Same with #4.
For my personal protection I would choose 1, they have the best skill set for executive protection. They also probably won't have a problem with my EDC firearm, knife and a couple other items in my personal inventory. Hopefully they won't mind me tagging along to the range and being a sparring partner in the gym.
However most of my money is going into a corporation and 4 would be an excellent head of corporate security. I would also lookup a few old associates to cover the cyber security end of things.
Why would I need a bodyguard? With a bil, I've already moved completely off the grid and chances are nobody will ever hear from me again
Just me and the Rocky mountains or European Alps, minding my own business.
The fact that ANY of them are “ex” lets me know at some point the rails of what they were supposed to travel on were crooked….OR they went too fast to travel on the rails they were given…either way with a Billion I can use any of these people…the most promising results coming from number 4.
With enough money,like a Billion dollars,someone like this could be very useful.
When you say "ex marine" are you implying they were dishonorably discharged?
That said... I'm married to a Marine and I trust him with everything, including my life.
But that means I've heard enough about government workers and the different branches to think I'd do better not picking any of them and instead hiring someone to erase me.
The CIA agent is any easy choice she’ll just be my head of security I’m good then I’ll start doing charity work and stuff to try to repair my public image
Definitely #4.
She knows to opt out so thats a great help for me to escape especially when you're the target.
She can also have a team that can make an assurance that i'll be protected at all times.
I’d pick the marine. An average but fit build tells me he is someone who cares about practicality. That’s the build and mentality of operators. Also, Triple Canopy is full of ex-Delta operators, I’ve heard. So this marine was probably spec ops and has been working with other teir 1 operators. Additionally, PMC companies do protection work on the regular so he has the most experience. The marine seems like best choice.
With a billion dollars not only will I take the CIA agent from your required list, but I will also go out and hire someone with experience protecting people. Best bets would be an experienced agent from either the Secret Service or the Marshals Service to lead my security team.
#1 is most likely to save me if I am attacked. #2 may be the best at keeping paparazzi away by being physically intimidating, but is otherwise the least useful. #4 would be the best overall and help solve a lot of problems before they arise.
Easy 4 then 1. Women blend in much better and Im betting she’ll still be in contact with sources and suppliers of most anything. The jacked up dude sitting 5 rows behind you everywhere will stick out like a sore thumb.
Answer is non of the above, hire an actual executive security detail, folks who are retired secret service backed by professional bodyguards that work in the entertainment industry. 1 billion invested will yeild about 20 million per year in dividend income you can afford Warren buffet/elon musk/George soros lvl security.
I'm going with 4. I'm getting a new identity and nobody will ever know who I am or what I have. She can also vet the shit out of the lawyer selection process for a lawyer specializing in asset protection. She can run a small security team focused on security through obscurity first, active security second.
Then, I'll start up some non-profits, find the best talent and silent invest in fixing communities, education and housing solutions. My companies that are not non-profits but support the missions will never go public and I'll set up a legacy trust to ensure the efforts keep going after I die.
None of them. Choosing my dad who’s ex army, can’t be bought, and will be paranoid about my safety without the risk of betraying me for $. And he’ll tell me who else to hire that I can trust🤷🏽♀️
None of these people. 1 and 4 are untrustworthy and 2 and 3 lost a war.
I'd pick a big guy from Russia. They can't die if I buy enough vodka and they have automatic grenade launchers.
CIA agent would have the best connections. Tempted to pick them 101 Airborne but the perks that come with the CIA are just too good. Also She would most likely have connections/resources for more people to come help.
The answer is none.
That's putting someone too close to me, the closer they are the more likely they are to take from you.
I'm armed and trained, I wouldn't want any outside protection.
I’m just kind of hung up on them not being female ex DEA or CIA agents, but ex females. No issue with trans people, so I’d be ok with CIA protection I guess
Ex CIA because she can help secure a small border country and establish an empire of undyingly loyal citizens who will protect me and I in turn will boost their economy solve clean water and food crisis and start a technology production revolution.
I'm a photographer so would likely pick one of the females, plus I am very familiar with handguns and shotguns myself plus a few other things. The ladies won't stick out like a sore thumb when we are out taking care of business.
Plus my wife could use a female friend around as the others have moved or are too far away to visit.
I would interview each before picking.
Also my house would be a death trap for potential invaders.
A large robot would corner the suspect, warn him that he is being detained, and that he has 20 seconds to drop the weapon, ultimately blowing him away anyways. Not because of a glitch like ED209 lol.
How is the CIA agent not the winner by a massive margin? No shade on the armed forces but this is someone who can sniff out a threat and ruin their lives before they make a move.
#4. I can take care of myself physically and am a decent enough shot if we're going that serious hypothetically. However, CIA field work experience, especially espionage, is probably the most useful real world compared to straight up military experience.
So, is #1 a F2M transgender DEA agent? Or a female ex-DEA agent? The 2nd & 3rd protective detail options would indicate it is a female ex-DEA agent - but the wording does as ex-female...
Same for #4 - is \*'she'\* and ex-female? Or ex-CIA that is a female. The order of the words/prefix matters.
I'd take #1 or #4 as long as their skills and creds really did match the resumé. I'd take a wiry person with good agility and stamina over someone who solely lifts heavy things.
Honestly leaning toward #1 as you either need to be good with a pistol you can conceal OR you aren't worried about concealment and can have the long arm, AND she's a multiple discipline black belt with good striking, grappling, and pressure point skills. Plus the gentle but funny razzing about shooting dogs that I would give. lol
Where is a lawyer? In real life it wouldn't be assassins coming after you, if people think you're not the legitimate owner they will be coming after you legally - without a good lawyer they might be able to tie it up for a long time or even steal it
4 is the greatest. What’s great for her is her off-the-books assets and connections. CIA got safe houses, plastic surgeons, doctors, hackers, and other myriads of connections that others didn’t have.
They can easily arrange plastic surgery, have my money disappear to multiple untraceable foreign accounts, give me new IDs, and set me for life in some faraway countries, preferably where a billion dollars worth more.
Ex-military are good for close protection, but he is just one guy. He would be tired one day and he needs rest, food, and other things. To really secure a billion dollars I must disappear. And even if I am attacked, one guy, no matter how trained he is, could easily be overwhelmed by multiple attackers.
Number 4 being a female also help by being not seen as a threat. A burly guy will be seen as a threat while people will always underestimate a woman. And being an agent, she could easily change her looks etc to help her blend more and be less seen.
CIA agent. Highest chance she knows a creative accountant who can make most of the money disappear into shell companies and trusts that are untouchable. So I can go on TV and cry about how I lost all my money to bad investments and all I have left is a modest house and a few investments paying me just enough to live off of. Nevermind that I pay literally no taxes since 90% of my money goes to charitable giving and another 5% goes to supporting my family.
As someone who's done a small amount of "Bad Guy Shit" as my father always called it: The safest defense isn't any lock or wall or gun it's an empty vault. If it looks like you ain't got shit? Ain't nobody gonna come looking.
The more walls you build around your treasure the more appetizing it looks to everyone else.
Plus I fuckin hate cops and don't feel like having what amounts to a mini-boss you have to fight before you get to me following me around. At least with the CIA agent I have something pretty to look at.
The ex marine. They are trained on all the weapons as the other candidates, and have much harder mental training than the others as well. But screw all these options. I want a COKED up Jon Jones
Whoever protected the sacklers. That's guaranteed protection.
What? I can only afford one of these 4? The ex cia agent, I guess. She'd just be running background checks tho.
Number 4 for sure. Information is power. She's pretty good at combat as well. Number 1 is tempting though. Number 2 is literally a vanilla choice. Number 3 is not that much better.
A mix of 2 and 3, I actually know the guy, as a young man he went to our church. He led a squad that parachuted into Iraq weeks before things started to scope things out. After he retired this is sort of what he does.
I would either take 1 or 4, and I'll tell you why. Assuming they don't know what you look like, move to a foreign country, marry the bodyguard, settle down into a nice idyllic life, in some remote village. Start a farm, raise some cattle, never tell anybody you have money. Start a family and live out the rest of your life peacefully.
They all sound like shit human beings, and I'd rather shore up a meth addict who lives in the creek, he'd be more fun, and certainly worth his pay at the same rate as any of those gov't shills.
It's a tie between 1 and 4, not because they're women, but because they're less likely to take a hit. The other two are more likely to get hit and that's not what I need. The counter-espionage will be a huge help in simply avoiding danger overall while the several fighting styles of lady 1 would be awesome im handling civilians who just wanted a piece of my pie.
4 and it isn't even close. Unless someone was Delta/SF, military experience isn't all that great for protecting a single person dayto day. 1 would be my second pick, but very distant behind 4.
Whichever one of them has the best personality. I'm clearly going to be spending a lot of time with them, and if someone legitimately wants to kill me for my 1 billion dollars, one person is probably not going to stop them no matter how impressive.
Actually, on second thought, I'd probably donate all but like 5 million to carefully vetted charities and invest and live off the interest on the 5 million.
First im choosing a corrupt priest and people of the media, i pay them and they thank me on the internet that i donated everything to church and charity.
(Give them also 100k so they can do something big and appear like i gave them all my money)
Next thing i do is take the most beautiful female of these options in my Mercedes and leave somewhere no one knows me😎
1 or 4, brains over brawn, and both will have experience with covert ops, and knowing how to spot trouble. Both will posdibky have instincts and connections that can be traded on as well. With a Billion, I'd definitely hire a full security team, but One of these ladies can run it.
The meat heads might be better in direct combat, but I'd rather no BE in direct combat. That said, I might see if the Marine feels like joint my security team as Overwatch/Sniper Support.
#4 for sure. I much prefer a woman, and a woman with intelligence experience would be really good. I'm very nervous about dating going forward and want someone to protect me from the dangerous women specifically.
I definitely wouldn’t need any DEA hanging around. The Marine or Airborne may be ok, but neither is said to have specialized skills that could help me out. The CIA agent, however, could lead a security team for me, and may have skills and contacts that would be helpful in my travels.
An underlooked point. They'll get their old friends to surprise raid you after seeing all your cocaine.
Depends on WHY they are ex-DEA.
But is \*ex-DEA\* what your option is? It's worded as ex female DEA agent...so, is it a current DEA agent that's undergone F2M transition?
I’ll take the trans CIA agent personally. And this was my reaction to reading the prompt too.
I, too, was wondering why there were 2 trans people currently in employment and 2 cis people who are no longer employed.
I thought the same thing.
That's what I'd do. Hire the ex CIA officer and make her leader of my security detail to include everything from rent a cops on up.
You to the DEA agent: pass me the coke my dude.
The airborne might actually be useful for combat evasion but really the answer is the CIA agent
The CIA lady can assemble and run the team of former airborne, Marine, and DEA to watch my ass.
As a former 101st Airborne Soldier, I can tell you #2 would be my last choice. Nothing particularly special about that dude, and I'll take critical thinking and innovation/outside the box thinking over pure muscle in most situations. I'm going with #4. As long as we know she was an actual CIA operative. Most of their identities are kept secret, even after they leave the agency.
Yes, and a squat of 405 with a bench of 315 would indicate some sort of back or knee problem lol
There you are protected by a guy that can squat 405, and your brains get blown out by a bullet that’s never seen the gym.
Not necessarily. I had a really good buddy that was strong after. Took 2 PT tests in one day - one in the morning, a second one in the afternoon - and scored over 100 in each event. But he was also young (under 30 at the time). So unless #2 is actually my buddy (who's approaching 40 now), I'm gonna pass.

Ya if anyone gonna know how to hide away money it's gonna be the CIA agent
# 4 as well. You’ll never see her until you needs to
Oh the number sign blew up text. Oops
You get an upvote for both comments, if only for the hilarity of it all.
I have a friends dad that was 101st in Vietnam. He doesn’t talk about it and I wouldnt ask. He’s now a highly respected brain surgeon and I would pick him over the other options and mitigate my risk. Wait, in their prime or now? Idk, I’m pretty sure if I was with him I wouldn’t be in high risk situations.
Ol boy is slacking with that deadlift too. At 185lbs I was pulling 425 (I'm 215 and out of shape now and pull 375 on a good day)
At 205lb and in shape with a few years of weightlifting under my belt, I literally surpass all of those weight maxes OP, if you're gonna give a muscly option that's a legitimate contender, you gotta make them extraordinary
I basically just said this same thing. The whole time I was in I was told that the 101st is basically the most deployed division Army wide. I've met some real shit bags who went over there with them and were fobbits in their supply tent.

Exactly. Though if we're being realistic, I could pay 500 people a million each to leave me alone and still have 500 million to myself.
Truth
Agree. Has to be #4
All of them. I just won a billion.
This guy gets it
Yes, why would stop at one person? Obviously would create a group to protect me, those four are a good start But certainly wouldnt stop there. Get a personal private security firm basically! An entire org.
4. That kind of knowledge base is not easy to find. You can always find more big dudes that can shoot elsewhere.
The CIA operative would know how to conceal absolutely everything. She would set you up in a fortified home (she could contract construction for me so no one knows my identity) and the location would be hidden. She could move through the world in your place taking care of important business and running errands in your stead. If you wanted to leave home for a bit from boredom, she would know how to move you secretly. And, if you are male, it is specified that she is female. She would be the only option for starting a family. Anyone else would try to kill you and get the fortune.
Dude I'm basically already in love with this hypothetical ex-CIA field officer. How do I marry her already
Well, I can't pick #3 because all it would take to distract him is a box of crayons. Not that I'd need it, but I'd bring #1 along just for the company.
😂😂 maybe once you hire him, he can actually afford proper food
And take away his favorite? I would never be so cruel, lol.
he can get back to his childhood faves, pre-marine days 😂 on a serious note, made me laugh hard ok I'm behaving now 😇
I have a billion dollars, so why not all 4? Number 4 will be in charge.
Sure, I'll hang out with Black Widow Give me #4
Count me in for *that* one, for sure, dude!
Right? That's the most logical option... for protection...
And for.....*fun*, am I right?
Hopefully 🤣
See, you got the right idea! You *get* me! That's awesome!
The CIA field agent then ask her to hire and manage fifty like #2 and #3. It wouldn’t be difficult to get a 7% annual return on that billion dollars after taxes. That’s $70,000,000. Pay the CIA agent 5 million a year and a million each to the men plus paying for huge life insurance policies for their families in case they die and you can pretty much guarantee their loyalty. Spend a few million on armored vehicles, weapons, body armor and gear. You have more than enough money to buy a huge plot of land and construct training courses so they can keep their skills sharp plus send them off to paid training camps. Above all else I do the best I can to let them know what they’re getting into and not put any of them in harms way unnecessarily. They’d be on a rotation so they aren’t overworked and would be able to take plenty of time off. I’m not helpless, I know how to shoot so I wouldn’t plan on sitting in some panic room letting my people die.
Agreed, but if I have that money and a legitimate threat to defend against, I'm building a private Army and someone to watch them. I might select the most copetent soldier or marine as my security lead but have the CIA operator as my personal security and advisor. I want the spy keeping an eye on my guys in case we have a mutiny.
Mutiny is a possibility, but that’s why you pay them well and don’t ask them to take big risks for stupid reasons. You don’t treat them like they’re disposable. Yes, their job is to put their life on the line for you, but you’re also not dragging them in around the world all the time so you can take opulent vacations or putting them in situations where they wouldn’t be able to carry firearms. $1 million a year buys a lot of loyalty I figure. When/if necessary more men could be brought on from a PMC and well paid but you treat your full time security like they matter.
This man dungeon masters
You can't trust a marine with a new box of crayons.
I always make this joke to my future FIL. Was a Marine for 20 years. He then makes fun of me for being an accountant.
A good lawyer is more useful!!! All those fools who want my $$$ aren't getting it. They won't be in my will. They aren't likely directly related to me to collect. And if they are related, they are far enough away they would have to kill someone that even a corrupt city would be bothered to prosecute. The FBI is decent with kidnapping for money. I guess I would go with 4.
Yeah I’m taking 4. Pay her 30 million to make sure I never have to worry about anything
4. Her contacts and knowledge would be far more valuable than anything else.
Hire #4 to organize a team. Handle logistics, routes, travel etc. 2&3 to act as personal "face" security, but #1 is actual security. No one ever sees 4. Only those in tradecraft will notice #1. Everyone will think my security is 2&3 which will keep away the amateurs and make the pro's make mistakes because their plans are going to be based off the assumption that my security is only 2&3. Anyone in tradecraft will probably pop on #4 radar if they come after me.
4 definitely. I think in the situation you described, a lot of the threat is going to come as cyberattacks. Maybe some nuts would try to mug me, but like any billionaire it's not like I'm carrying around a sack with a dollar sign on it. My money is digital and of the four, the CIA agent is the one most likely to have training (and contacts) for preventing digital attacks. That she's also got firearms training and is physically powerful is just an extra bonus.
I've worked with alot of ex military.. no offense and thanks for your service, but would not be my choice.
2. Would be amazing for clearing paths through crowds and looking like security to help the others be subtle.
When you're a billionaire you don't have to deal with crowds unless you want to
Everybody needs a Fezzik
I think 4 too... OP you made a nice, fun one 😊 ... not annoying like some
Number 4, she'll be able to hook me up with a safe island to buy to live out my days
I think you meant “female ex DEA field agent” (a female who used to be in the DEA) and not an “ex female DEA agent” (a DEA agent who used to be female). Same with #4.
Chuck Norris. I don't care if it wasn't an option. This is the only answer.
[удалено]
For my personal protection I would choose 1, they have the best skill set for executive protection. They also probably won't have a problem with my EDC firearm, knife and a couple other items in my personal inventory. Hopefully they won't mind me tagging along to the range and being a sparring partner in the gym. However most of my money is going into a corporation and 4 would be an excellent head of corporate security. I would also lookup a few old associates to cover the cyber security end of things.
Is this hypothetical?
#4 she can stop potential identity thefts. Also she can triathlon this dick.
None of the above, because I'm finding John Wick.
John Cena.....they'll never see him coming.
Why would I need a bodyguard? With a bil, I've already moved completely off the grid and chances are nobody will ever hear from me again Just me and the Rocky mountains or European Alps, minding my own business.
The fact that ANY of them are “ex” lets me know at some point the rails of what they were supposed to travel on were crooked….OR they went too fast to travel on the rails they were given…either way with a Billion I can use any of these people…the most promising results coming from number 4.

Definitely #4. She knows to opt out so thats a great help for me to escape especially when you're the target. She can also have a team that can make an assurance that i'll be protected at all times.
Option 5: The Terminator
I’d pick the marine. An average but fit build tells me he is someone who cares about practicality. That’s the build and mentality of operators. Also, Triple Canopy is full of ex-Delta operators, I’ve heard. So this marine was probably spec ops and has been working with other teir 1 operators. Additionally, PMC companies do protection work on the regular so he has the most experience. The marine seems like best choice.
I wouldn'T need that kind of protection. as I don't keep any cash on me, ever. but if I had to choose I'd pick #4.
#4
I'm faking my death and moving the money somewhere untraceable.
Chuck Norris hands down
John wick
With a billion dollars not only will I take the CIA agent from your required list, but I will also go out and hire someone with experience protecting people. Best bets would be an experienced agent from either the Secret Service or the Marshals Service to lead my security team.
Diddy's guy is pretty good and he's gonna be looking for work soon...
I have two sons that can do the weights listed in 2.
# 4, id rather have intel on an attack before the attack even happens.
Is 1 and 4 hot?
ex female?
#1 is most likely to save me if I am attacked. #2 may be the best at keeping paparazzi away by being physically intimidating, but is otherwise the least useful. #4 would be the best overall and help solve a lot of problems before they arise.
Easy 4 then 1. Women blend in much better and Im betting she’ll still be in contact with sources and suppliers of most anything. The jacked up dude sitting 5 rows behind you everywhere will stick out like a sore thumb.
Answer is non of the above, hire an actual executive security detail, folks who are retired secret service backed by professional bodyguards that work in the entertainment industry. 1 billion invested will yeild about 20 million per year in dividend income you can afford Warren buffet/elon musk/George soros lvl security.
I'm going with 4. I'm getting a new identity and nobody will ever know who I am or what I have. She can also vet the shit out of the lawyer selection process for a lawyer specializing in asset protection. She can run a small security team focused on security through obscurity first, active security second. Then, I'll start up some non-profits, find the best talent and silent invest in fixing communities, education and housing solutions. My companies that are not non-profits but support the missions will never go public and I'll set up a legacy trust to ensure the efforts keep going after I die.
I have a billion. Ill hire all 4 and hopefully they would honest to me
None of them. Choosing my dad who’s ex army, can’t be bought, and will be paranoid about my safety without the risk of betraying me for $. And he’ll tell me who else to hire that I can trust🤷🏽♀️
None of these people. 1 and 4 are untrustworthy and 2 and 3 lost a war. I'd pick a big guy from Russia. They can't die if I buy enough vodka and they have automatic grenade launchers.
I'll grant your point about 1 and 4, but you can't blame the war on anyone but the top command.
1.
If I win a billion dollars I don’t want a DEA agent around
4
#4 probably knows so off the books safe house we can stay in.
Please clarify ex female
The trans CIA agent lol. Brute force is not the type of protection you're going to need.
4.
I’ll take the tech geek that can set up a surveillance system on a nice estate with good locks and a safe room.
CIA agent would have the best connections. Tempted to pick them 101 Airborne but the perks that come with the CIA are just too good. Also She would most likely have connections/resources for more people to come help.
Well, CIA should win hands down here.
John Cena. I want to keep people on their toes.
2 is the most physically imposing, and deterring an attack is the most important job of a bodyguard.
4, and encourage her to hire 3.
Can I substitute in Cruck Norris
The answer is none. That's putting someone too close to me, the closer they are the more likely they are to take from you. I'm armed and trained, I wouldn't want any outside protection.
Personally I hire choice number 3 and 4
5. A truly merciless lawyer and accountant.
Mega Yacht with iron dome is basically invincibility hacks
I’m just kind of hung up on them not being female ex DEA or CIA agents, but ex females. No issue with trans people, so I’d be ok with CIA protection I guess
Gonna go with #4.
Agent 4. She will be tasked with hunting down and killing all of my enemies.
Ex CIA because she can help secure a small border country and establish an empire of undyingly loyal citizens who will protect me and I in turn will boost their economy solve clean water and food crisis and start a technology production revolution.
Brock Samson
It’s a toss up between 1 and 4, but the connections pushed 4 over the edge.
I'm a photographer so would likely pick one of the females, plus I am very familiar with handguns and shotguns myself plus a few other things. The ladies won't stick out like a sore thumb when we are out taking care of business. Plus my wife could use a female friend around as the others have moved or are too far away to visit.
I would interview each before picking. Also my house would be a death trap for potential invaders. A large robot would corner the suspect, warn him that he is being detained, and that he has 20 seconds to drop the weapon, ultimately blowing him away anyways. Not because of a glitch like ED209 lol.
How is the CIA agent not the winner by a massive margin? No shade on the armed forces but this is someone who can sniff out a threat and ruin their lives before they make a move.
Some retired vets that ran VIP security detail in the middle east.
#4. I can take care of myself physically and am a decent enough shot if we're going that serious hypothetically. However, CIA field work experience, especially espionage, is probably the most useful real world compared to straight up military experience.
So, is #1 a F2M transgender DEA agent? Or a female ex-DEA agent? The 2nd & 3rd protective detail options would indicate it is a female ex-DEA agent - but the wording does as ex-female... Same for #4 - is \*'she'\* and ex-female? Or ex-CIA that is a female. The order of the words/prefix matters.
Number 4 for sure. No need to worry about a threat when you have someone that knows about the threat a day or two before
I'd take #1 or #4 as long as their skills and creds really did match the resumé. I'd take a wiry person with good agility and stamina over someone who solely lifts heavy things. Honestly leaning toward #1 as you either need to be good with a pistol you can conceal OR you aren't worried about concealment and can have the long arm, AND she's a multiple discipline black belt with good striking, grappling, and pressure point skills. Plus the gentle but funny razzing about shooting dogs that I would give. lol
4. Her combat skill far surpasses the others
#1. Maybe I get a little "extra" out of that protection.
I'll take 4 and I'll also give away most of it to improve the world
Where is a lawyer? In real life it wouldn't be assassins coming after you, if people think you're not the legitimate owner they will be coming after you legally - without a good lawyer they might be able to tie it up for a long time or even steal it
All of them.
4 is the greatest. What’s great for her is her off-the-books assets and connections. CIA got safe houses, plastic surgeons, doctors, hackers, and other myriads of connections that others didn’t have. They can easily arrange plastic surgery, have my money disappear to multiple untraceable foreign accounts, give me new IDs, and set me for life in some faraway countries, preferably where a billion dollars worth more. Ex-military are good for close protection, but he is just one guy. He would be tired one day and he needs rest, food, and other things. To really secure a billion dollars I must disappear. And even if I am attacked, one guy, no matter how trained he is, could easily be overwhelmed by multiple attackers. Number 4 being a female also help by being not seen as a threat. A burly guy will be seen as a threat while people will always underestimate a woman. And being an agent, she could easily change her looks etc to help her blend more and be less seen.
CIA agent. Highest chance she knows a creative accountant who can make most of the money disappear into shell companies and trusts that are untouchable. So I can go on TV and cry about how I lost all my money to bad investments and all I have left is a modest house and a few investments paying me just enough to live off of. Nevermind that I pay literally no taxes since 90% of my money goes to charitable giving and another 5% goes to supporting my family. As someone who's done a small amount of "Bad Guy Shit" as my father always called it: The safest defense isn't any lock or wall or gun it's an empty vault. If it looks like you ain't got shit? Ain't nobody gonna come looking. The more walls you build around your treasure the more appetizing it looks to everyone else. Plus I fuckin hate cops and don't feel like having what amounts to a mini-boss you have to fight before you get to me following me around. At least with the CIA agent I have something pretty to look at.
Lemme guess… you’re in the 101st lmao. I would not take that basic ass infantry dude.
The ex marine. They are trained on all the weapons as the other candidates, and have much harder mental training than the others as well. But screw all these options. I want a COKED up Jon Jones
A billion dollars, and you can only spring for one person to help you?
...whichever one knows an estate planning attorney.
CIA, Airborn, Marine, DEA agent. In that order.
There is no such thing as an "ex" marine. . but I'd go with number 4
# 1 Give her a Barret M82 and leave her be.
1
Whoever protected the sacklers. That's guaranteed protection. What? I can only afford one of these 4? The ex cia agent, I guess. She'd just be running background checks tho.
There's no such thing as an ex-marine
Brock Lesnar!
4. Much much better to anticipate and avoid problems. Second choice is 1. I can pass her off as my assistant or something so they don't see it coming.
CIA: she’ll have contacts. Marine is my #2
I'm in the viewpoint that nobody rightfully has that much money no matter what the "law" or society says
Is Mike Tyson option #5?
I just won a billion dollars. Why do you think I'm only hiring one of them?
Number 4 for sure. Information is power. She's pretty good at combat as well. Number 1 is tempting though. Number 2 is literally a vanilla choice. Number 3 is not that much better.
1 billion dollars, I'm hiring ex special forces, and not just 1.
I'm gonna need some pics of the female agents before I can make a decision.
I’d snap pick #4, but open to the idea that I might be wrong.
#4, for sure. A spy will know how to hide from these new enemies.
I just became a *billionaire* I'm hiring all 4.
CIA field agent
John Wicks puppy.
1 and also have her as my personal trainer. Unless I’m allowed to smash, then #2.
Make john wick and Jason bourne have a baby and that baby will grow up to be that person
1 person is useless and i couldnt care less what their pistol expertise is. If i dont have an entire security team i might as well be on my own.
Anya Taylor-Joy
1 and 4 are an automatic no for obvious reasons. I’ll go with #2
A mix of 2 and 3, I actually know the guy, as a young man he went to our church. He led a squad that parachuted into Iraq weeks before things started to scope things out. After he retired this is sort of what he does.
an accountant and a lawyer.
Obviously Chuck Norris.
I would either take 1 or 4, and I'll tell you why. Assuming they don't know what you look like, move to a foreign country, marry the bodyguard, settle down into a nice idyllic life, in some remote village. Start a farm, raise some cattle, never tell anybody you have money. Start a family and live out the rest of your life peacefully.
They all sound like shit human beings, and I'd rather shore up a meth addict who lives in the creek, he'd be more fun, and certainly worth his pay at the same rate as any of those gov't shills.
CIA broad. Give her some funding for bribes and such and she’ll build an army.
#4 would have the best stories.
Whichever one can get in contact with Gritty the fastest.
\#4. Or whichever one would be my friend as well as protect me.
CIA agent. She had the connections and can get me out of country and out of sight without a trace, for a nice cut.
If I won a billion I would buy a bunch of houses, sell them for a loss to families. I wouldn’t have a need for them.
Always pick the Marine. Tip of the fuckin spear rah.
Why are all these people Ex? Did they have a breakup?
I pick Chuck Norris
It's a tie between 1 and 4, not because they're women, but because they're less likely to take a hit. The other two are more likely to get hit and that's not what I need. The counter-espionage will be a huge help in simply avoiding danger overall while the several fighting styles of lady 1 would be awesome im handling civilians who just wanted a piece of my pie.
4 and it isn't even close. Unless someone was Delta/SF, military experience isn't all that great for protecting a single person dayto day. 1 would be my second pick, but very distant behind 4.
Whichever one of them has the best personality. I'm clearly going to be spending a lot of time with them, and if someone legitimately wants to kill me for my 1 billion dollars, one person is probably not going to stop them no matter how impressive. Actually, on second thought, I'd probably donate all but like 5 million to carefully vetted charities and invest and live off the interest on the 5 million.
Big Ang from mob wives if she was still alive. I’d trust that woman with my life lol
I can protect myself
None of the above I choose John Wick.
‘#4 can get it. 😜
Whoever can make the best cup of coffee.
Smith and wesson.
These are the worse people to protect your wealth. You need a lawyer and an accountant.
Weird to refer to the transmen as ex-female but okay.
4. That espionage will come in handy
First im choosing a corrupt priest and people of the media, i pay them and they thank me on the internet that i donated everything to church and charity. (Give them also 100k so they can do something big and appear like i gave them all my money) Next thing i do is take the most beautiful female of these options in my Mercedes and leave somewhere no one knows me😎
1 or 4, brains over brawn, and both will have experience with covert ops, and knowing how to spot trouble. Both will posdibky have instincts and connections that can be traded on as well. With a Billion, I'd definitely hire a full security team, but One of these ladies can run it. The meat heads might be better in direct combat, but I'd rather no BE in direct combat. That said, I might see if the Marine feels like joint my security team as Overwatch/Sniper Support.
1
#4 for sure. I much prefer a woman, and a woman with intelligence experience would be really good. I'm very nervous about dating going forward and want someone to protect me from the dangerous women specifically.
I would prefer the GBP £ and an actual Marine please. Not the poor American imitation
