Juste some ideas that crossed my mind, maybe all at once is too expensive for one billion.

  1. Clearing all my debts.
  2. Shop only ethical products.
  3. Support lot of projects that are close to my heart.
  4. Corrupt politicians to incite them to make ethical choices.
  5. Buy shady companies and let them sink.
  6. Create my own utopic nation and corrupt the UN to let them recognize it.

You would not believe how cheap some politicians are. Some in Congress can be bought for as little as $10K!

A billion is nothing on the scale of points 5 and 6 though...

Easy, I'll buy twitter. What will I do with the rest of 1 999 900 dollars? Put it on red.
