I misread the title of the post from yesterday, thought it was eighteen dollars, not one billion dollars. Got me wondering.

      Spending 100 million on lunch is absolutely possible. What would it cost to organize a lunch on low Earth orbit? And do that so that you are back on Earth as soon as possible, for important employee span business duties.

          Well, one could argue that it’s lunch that includes travel as a part of it :)

          But good, let’s say that the lunch must be prepared of zero-gravity grown ingredients only, cooked using atmospheric friction, and delivered by parachute right at the table. 100 million might not be enough for this lunch, though.

          (Also, whichever

          instance Bezos is using, could someone defederate that one, please? I don’t want to give it any ideas!)

        I’m sure you could get a hundred million dollar coin minted and carry it with you or get your bills to the point where even a hundred million won’t resolve them too. C’mon now. Quit being that guy.

          Sorry, got a bit too creative with that one.

          Part of the idea was to say that billionaires and trillionaires are extremely good in using their money in extraordinarily inefficient ways. Trickle-down, or whatever they call it…
