I would build a mental hospital big enough to give everybody their own padded room. I'd put everybody in it, including myself, and dress mice up in white lab coats and let them feed us hallucinatory drugs.

Oh -- I would release a daily journal filled with whatever crap I felt like, and distribute it to everybody in the world. I would pay people $50 to read each issue, and another $100 to comment on it on a messageboard.

Add to that -- I would overdub the audio on TV stations with my own running commentary on whatever's on. Everybody would hear it, without choice.

This is doing well...
-I'd make the Ultimate MOVIE! Godzilla VS. Gamera VS Jackie Chan VS Bruce Campbell VS Larry Laffer VS Guybrush Treepwood, VS.....
(3546 VS later) VS The X-Men
-I'd use my scientist to make lemmings with green hair and blue clothes and yellow electric mice...
-I'd create an ice cream factory with flavour named after games:
Monkyey Island's Banana Bonanza, Lewd Larry Laffer's Creamy Delight, Gabriel Knight Mystery Flavour, Minty Green Tentacle, Stobbart's Lemon Sherbet, Blueberry Super Sonic....
-I'd fund an expedition to Quendor to find out what does a grue looks like...
-I'd build my own TV station, with an anime channel, a sci fi channel, horror, etc...
-I'd pay Sierra to make Leisure Suit Larry 4!!!
-And for something really zany and unrealistic I'd buy the SKY and turn into my personal Giant TV! I would show horror movies during the night with the volume on HIGH!
The sky as a TV has lots of potential!
I could threaten the world wiith reruns of the world most horrible shows if they don't meet my demands!
-And to counter that evil thought here is something nice! To cure all diseases, I'd clone and shrink tough guys like Seriuos Sam and Duke Nukem, put them in pill capsules, sell them as "KICKASS CURE-ALL PILLS!", the "soldiers" would "frag" all the viruses in your body, slice the cancerous cells and all that rot...
-And to be Mr. Nice Guy once more I'd use my scientists to make FOOD trees!
The Sahara desert with be will with DESSERT trees! Ben & Jerry's bushes, pastry palm trees, cookie trees...
-I'd build me a Megaman suit and build some bases with Robot Masters to fight!
-In case you didn't know kunoichi are "ninja women", I already said I'd hire them as bodyguards, I'd hire Grace Nakimura as my librarian, and my library would be full of comics, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett books (hmm maybe i'd hire the Discworld Librarian too...).
-I'd build the stupidest computer ever, one I could always beat at chess and stuff
-I'd create a nuclear power plant, specially made to make spiders radioactive, and make the inhabitants of the town next door mutate and get superpowers, and then I'd have my own league of super heroes! They wont save the world, they just make TV shows and action figures! (He he, the Tanukitsune Troop)

I'd either live an eccentric rich life as a tramp on the streets leaving every last penny to the animal shelter

OR

Torment gold digging family members by living off them, lingering on for decades, promising them all my money and then giving it to the animal shelter.

OR

I'd buy a trppical island somewhere, and build a huge temple of worship to me for the local inhabitants, living the rest of my life as a deity;and then giving all my money to the animal shelter.

I'd purchase Mt. Everest and rename it Mt. Tom. Then I'd build a luxurious base near it's summit, and from my peak above my 6 billion+ underlings, I would ensure that they all serve Tom and make him feel like the king he is.

I'd buy every Hollywood studio, run down every building, and make it my personal golf course.

I'd hire a team of 100s of scientists to make the best pillow ever.

I have a hiatal hernia... The funny thing is since my job gives me so little time to sleep, I have red eyes and sometimes I look like a junkie... But I can't even have caffeine...
More stuff to do when your are as rich as McScrooge:
-NINJA MONKEYS! I buy an army of them, and then I'd buy Kung Fu koalas! And make them fight!
-I'd create a junk food restuarant that served chobobo burgers and grue burgers, and purple tentacle sushi!
-I'd buy a few cars, one would that female tranformer whose name I can't remember, or maybe Bumblebee, and the other would be the Mystery Machine!
-Since I have a hiatal hernia, I'd replace my stomach with Kirby's or Goku's.... Or a mechanical one (too bad it can't shoot lasers)...
-Make the sequel to "The Little Match-Seller" and "A Dog Of Flanders", called "Mecha-Nello VS Match-Seller-Zilla: The Revenge of A Dog of Flanders" a.k.a. "Mecha-Nello Destroys Belgium" (No more sad endings for them)
-Travel back in time to seveal movie premieres and shout spoilers at crucial moments: "LUKE, DARTH VADER IS YOUR FATHER AND LEIA YOUR SISTER!"
-Build the biggest funny glasses (the ones with fake noses and moustache) in the world, and put it on the Sphinx!
-Travel back in time and give dinosaurs wristwatches, gold teeth, peircings, sneakers.... Travel back to present. Hire archeologists to dig at the same spot. The look on their faces will be worth it!
-Buy giant laser. Write "Tanukitsune woz here" on the moon with it! Then use it to make toast...
