If "lot's of money" means "$1 million or more" you can look into US investor visa (http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/eb-5-investor-who-qualifies.html http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/eb-5-investor-who-qua..., http://www.h1base.com/visa/work/compare%20work%20visas/ref/1133 http://www.h1base.com/visa/work/compare%20work%20visas/ref/1...). But if you want to explore that further, better contact an immigration attorney (which I'm sure you can find on-line) for more specific advice. That being said, US is not all roses (I live here) and most other countries have much more sensible immigration policy e.g. Canada, Australia, New Zealand all have easier and more rational paths for getting citizenship. Also most countries won't kick you out so as long as you can easily get a traveller's visa to a given country, you can live there pretty much indefinitely by renewing the visa (which usually lasts for at least 3 months) when it expires. The biggest question is where are you from - the exact details on visas depend on country you're from and some unlucky countries have it much worse than others. Also some asian countries (Thailand, Singapore) are welcoming to (rich) people.
