My partner and I were discussing this over dinner, our ideas went from buying up land to finance organic farming and distributing it at the lowest price to crashing the financial system to "reset" everybody's bank account with no possible recovery. Any other ideas?

100 billion puts you in the top 15 richest on the planet. You'd actually rank #11 ahead of Sergey Brin and Bloomberg.
