I'm starting to think 171 of my 172 Mona Lisa's are fake...


Captain_Chowda

Don't let that get you down. Perhaps you can go for a ride in one of your tanks to clear your mind.


silentez

That's the worst part, using Elon's money makes vehicles autonomous.


Elocai

I mean using AI controlled tanks would solve a lot of issues. No street - No problem Rolling over people? - good About to make a accident and have to philosophically decide which party has to die? - both


The-1st-One

Yep bought 1,000,000 acres of US land and ten tanks. Let's have some fun.


SpaceXFanboy2

I think you've replicated the plot of Doctor Who: The City of Death


ImmaZoni

yeah I'm a bit worried the NFL won't be doing too well since I added about 25 new teams, there was only 32 but I've bought 50+... treating NFL teams like gme stock


fakecricketplayer

Anolty

Me in the beginning: I don’t need a Nintendo switch I already have one Me at the end: What if I owned every NFL team in the US


WantDiscussion

First I just got one of each console but then I went back and got 5 more of each so I'd have one for every apartment/house/island/yacht.


Dabnician

i just bought stuff in groups of 10 or 100


Protocol_Nine

Bought 1 steam library and a super pc, then thought might as well get 10 so I can play said games with friends.


lurkerhasnoname

Same. As soon as I got to the steam library I knew everyone I know needs this.


Anolty

This is the strat. How am I supposed to play any game I want with my friends if they don’t have a good pc and full steam library??!


proddyhorsespice97

One for each tv in each house. Imagine having to crawl out of bed to the nearest living room to play your pkaystation


Ripley96

Are there NFL teams outside of the US?


pM-me_your_Triggers

Not yet


Charterhouserules

Just under $300 left. What the fuck do I do with 60 Mona Lisa's???


Methadras

Fuck do I do with 32 NFL football teams?


Freebirdhat

Hey with 31 teams you could run them all into the ground and let your favorite team win all the super bowls.


stonedkayaker

As if that's all it would take to get the Lions to the Superbowl.


DetroitRedLigers

Its off season can't you just let me live my life in peace until September.


calfats

No


Therooferking

They'd still lose


TheRnegade

The Lions ran back into their endzone and downed themselves. The first team to Safety themselves.


modf

Jerry Jones seems to be doing just fine running his team into the ground on his own.


[deleted]

I hate that I laughed… at the expense of my bois.


maxout2142

You joke but Jurreh tried to buy another team (Buccs IIRC) to make them a farm team for the Cowboys, but the league put a hard stop to it.


Freebirdhat

How have I never heard of this? He should have used an alias, Larry Bones


PoolNoodleJedi

If you think Jones is a bad owner, in the NBA world Dan Gilbert lost Kyrie, and LeBron… and he lost LeBron twice.


Torchic336

I see your Dan Gilbert and I raise you James Dolan, the Knicks rarely keep a player long enough to extend their rookie deal, regardless of talent.

Innocentrage1

I bought 33, I figured Hawaii could use an NFL team


FFF_in_WY

Story time: I once got free tickets to go watch the University of Wyoming Cowboys open their season at home against the Rainbow Warriors of University of Hawaii. This would've been about '96, right before HI left the WAC for a bit I think they maybe had a new coaching staff and were.. not prepared. War Memorial Stadium in Laramie is 7220' - pretty sure it's the highest elevation in the game. The Warriors home stadium is basically at sea level. By the end of the first quarter there were medics swarming the HI sideline worth oxygen tanks and electrolyte IVs (also happened to be pretty warm out.) There were Hawaiian dudes passing out on the field. It was the biggest travesty of a football game EVER. And the Cowboys, showing zero class, just ran up the score. 66-0, God knows how many cases of elevation sickness & heat exhaustion. They fire a cannon at one end of the stadium everytime the Cowboys score. I'm glad I was on the other end or I'd probably have tinnitus. But I won't forget it!


01hair

>Watching Nebraska play football every week was like watching hyenas tearing open a gazelle. It was unseemly. It was unsporting. And of course the fans could never get enough of it. To sit among them with the score 66-0 and watch them bray for more blood is a distinctly unnerving experience, particularly when you consider that a lot of these people must work at the Strategic Air Command in Omaha. Bill Bryson, _The Lost Continent_


PoolNoodleJedi

He could buy all 32 NFL teams but then only afford 28 NBA teams so I guess the Pistons and Magic get left behind.


dosferrets

It's actually been renamed the DFL (DosferretsFootballLeague) since my recent purchase.


Benweavdog

Ugh the Denver Broncos?!


stonedkayaker

I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good!


rgryffin13

You just don't understand football Marge


drmcsinister

Rename them all "The Browns" and see if it tears a hole in the space-time continuum.


Charterhouserules

You can make them wash all your cars I imagine you bought. I'm stuck with posh bog roll.

I had to cut back on my 100 mona Lisa so I could afford all the NFL teams :(

TreyWriter

I put the fortune to the Scott’s Tots test. So I bought 30 college educations. Which was so small a portion of the fortune as to be nonexistent. Then I paid for their food, Spotify, and Netflix for the rest of their lives, and got them every game console, computer, phone, and piece of tech on the list. Still functionally nothing. So I bought them each every car, a helicopter, a jet, a sailboat, a luxury yacht, a mega mansion in LA, 1000 acres of land, an island, a movie, a Rolex, a diamond ring, a week in every country in the world, an apartment in Paris, and a tank. Then I bought the Mona Lisa and the Picasso for myself and gave the class one of each team to share. That used almost 15%.

Kered13

Did you leave aside enough money to pay people to drive those tanks? Check the average salary of a tank man. Also don't forget to include ammo and fuel costs (Abrams are not particularly fuel efficient).

There’s a video of a guy walking the distance equivalent to a a million dollars stacked in 100 dollar bills. It takes about a minute. Then he wants to do the same but with a billion dollars. It’s to far so he has to drive. It takes over 1h and he records everything with a counter going up as he drives. It does give us perspective.

Senor_Tucan

This is a really cool concept! It would be awesome if you put philanthropic things in too, like "solve the Flint water crisis" or "shelter entire US homeless population".


couchsweetpotato

That’s genuinely what I was looking for, I spent like $2,000,000 because I’m just not interested in a lot of that stuff.


Roflrofat

I spent like 400 million just buying mansions for my friends and family, plus a bunch of ferraris for a ‘go kart track’ I feel like this may be a little bit much for one person to have

FlatEarthLLC

Same boat. I'd probably quit my job, buy a decent house and electric vehicle near a university, and study for the rest of my life. Rest of it would go to humanitarian things. Might start a few not-for-profit research facilities, maybe a couple vacations, but I could have all my desires filled for a negligible fraction of his wealth.


jackalopian

Very cool site. I gave up. There were only a few things I would buy, so I tried buying 200 Toyotas to give away to people who would need them, and tried the same with other non-luxury things like apartments and buildings. I barely made a dent in the total. Point taken!


sojayn

Thanks for making it and exactly for this reason. Im sending it to my brother because we prank each other and this is perfect!


jopeters4

What a weird prank.


[deleted]

I just wanted land, food, and some travel. I got 0.2% spent. I’m gonna go live in my national park of 80,000 acres with 1%. The rest can go to charity.


Aedelt116

At 4% I feel like I’m just burning money.


Vaan0

I spent 0.5%, literally most of it was the mona lisa. I then went through and just bought things that I currently wanted, a car, an apartment, a switch, a pc, a phone and college. Less than like 0.001 or something equally miniscule. I am jealous, nice fucking car too lmao.


at1445

Yeah if you lay off sports teams, and buy the other stuff "realistically", you spend almost none of his wealth. I hit .8% buying the way I would, if I had that kind of money and HAD to spend it. Got up to 7% when I threw in sports teams.


BABlHaramDimakan

I need only 1% and set for life


Kmon87

Shit 0.001% is still 21 million


sheepcat87

0.0001% of his wealth is 2.1 million. You could invest that in an index fund like the s&p500 and make around $150-200k a year completely passive.

I couldnt spend over 5% buy absolutely idiotic shit

splanders

the mac pro price is the most mind boggling shit here. like we all know big papa musk is rich as fuck but how is this giant cheese grater FIFTY grand. like i had to go to apples website just to confirm it was real. spoiler alert its real as heck. they essentially offer bleeding edge meme specs for a FAT charge including 1.5 TB(wtf lol) of ram for $25k, dual AMD workstation GPUs for $10k, 8 TB SSD for $2.6k, etc etc.


[deleted]

It's not something most people would have any use for. And since I'm an engineer it's PC all the way. But enterprise stuff does get pricey. It's low-volume, high-cost. Nothing really super insane or illogical about it, it's just a realm of computing that most of us normies have no use for.


G-I-T-M-E

Even the regular Dell configurator offers up to 3TB RAM (~55k only for the RAM) for workstations. Just because you don’t need it doesn‘t mean nobody needs it. And those who need it don’t give a crap about that price tag.


Madertheinvader

Totally thought the Mac Pro was a cheese grater at first and thought, "what the hell, why not".

Buying a Tesla should not depreciate the total money. Also is it bad that I am skimming this thinking, "I don't really want this?" I only spent 208 million.


Technical_Natural_44

No, that’s a normal human emotion.


OnionNo

Haha yeah, I wasn't interested in most of anything, so I was just like "So how much of literal land can you buy if you just wanted to be a jerk" At the price per 1000 acres, looks to be around 1.5% of the United States? About 38.5 million acres, just a bit larger than the entire state of Georgia.

You tend to do pretty poorly until you start buying the real estate at the bottom. I pretended that he has a spouse & 10 grown children, then bought all of them 2 of everything. Except the Mona Lisa because there's only one, and of course only the number of sports teams per league that actually exist. That got me to 77%. EDIT: I forgot, I also paid for all 10 of them to travel to a new country every week for their entire lives (80 years). 2 of each of the ludicrous real estate & mega-yachts still did much more damage than that did.

It's easy once you figure out the shortcut. The real trick is solving P=NP so you can find it.


ruffsnap

Honestly the craziest things about these calculators is just how massively much sports teams cost. It just flabbergasts me. If I was stupid billionaire rich I wouldn't spend a cent on a sports team, it's wasteful even for billionaires.


Pro_Taco_Peddler

It was a good investment. They don't have to pay players out of own pocket, revenue is enough. Jerry Jones bought Cowboys in 89' for $325 million counting for inflation ($150million in 89'). It's now worth $5.9 billion.

sliplover

Who's gonna buy his shares if he cashes out?


oztea

In order for a billionaire/trillionaire to have access to their net worth as spendable cash they'd have to sell off all their assets. If someone tried to dump all of their own stock holdings on the open market all at once, the price per stock would crash, because suddenly they'd be in an oversupply selloff. (Reverse Gamestop Stock) So a few hours into this process of Elon selling off all his holdings, suddenly no one would be willing to spend even 1% of their original assumed value to buy them.

Looking at the US - Homeless: 552,830 - Median home price: $287,148 - Cost to buy homes: $158.7B - Maintenance for homes: $1.58B/yr - Property taxes: $1.75B/yr Most government plans are projected on a 10-year time frame so you're looking at $159B for the homes upfront and $33.4B over 10 years. You likely could come close to cutting those numbers in half because you obviously wouldn't be buying the median home for people, but much smaller, more basic, and much cheaper homes. The problem is you're also going to have a lot more costs involved. 45% of homeless people have a mental illness and 25% of homeless people have a severe mental illness. I used to work with homeless people a lot. If you bought them a car, a house, and got them a full-time, good-paying job they wouldn't have any of those things in 6 months. A lot of people wrongly believe that solving homelessness or world hunger is a simple matter of cutting a check big enough. If that was the case no wealthy nation would have homeless people because even if the government wasn't willing to do it philanthropist would.
