I wonder what would anyone do with a trillion dollars... I really can't comprehend this numbers...

  what ever they want.. :-) I agree, even a billion dollars, as free cash (as opposed to illiquid property holdings) is mind boggling. At IMF .9% interest rates that is $25,000 a day you would have to spend just to spend off the interest income.

    I vividly remember the BBC reports about the US government flying planes filled with pallets of cash into Iraq - apparently $12 billion in cash was flow in: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1 http://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1

  Oh, I bet you could find something to amuse yourself. I would go with building my own city (can I get to work in ND every day in only a t-shirt) and seeing if my theory of nodal sprawl with high speed rail actually happens. Oh, the couple of billion for Cancer Research, Brain Research, American Indian College Fund, and OpenBSD Foundation would be fun. Also doing a better OLPC. We all have dreams of what we could do, its another matter of if those dreams would stay with us at that level.

  You could wallpaper the land area of Cyprus with dollar bills and still have around 40 billion left.
