Ask YC: If you could buy any company in the world who would it be and why?
Okay folks, a fun one for you, if you had an infinite cash mountain, which one company would you buy and why? Remember only one company!
- dkokelley 19y agoIf I had an infinite amount of cash, I would buy the United States of America. Then, after the current government is abolished I would establish a monarchy. As a monarch I would declare that all companies owned by my subjects are in fact only held by my subjects but owned entirely by the royal family. ...Hehe. This is some of the stupidest stuff I've ever written.

- DarrenStuart 19y agoMicrosoft and I would change its name as soon as I owned it. I would then split it into seperate companies. I think MS is tainted by its past and some people just can't get past that. So if you split the best parts off you could build better brands.
