0:00You wake up to find that you have a
0:02trillion dollars in your bank account.
0:05But there's a catch, you have exactly 7
0:08days to spend it all. You can't give it
0:11away, you can't hide it. And if you
0:14have even a little bit left by the end
0:16of the 7th day, you lose absolutely
0:18everything. And when you first look at
0:20your account, you still have a trillion
0:22dollars. What you don't realize is that
0:25spending a trillion dollars is a lot
0:28harder than it seems. You sit down at
0:32your computer with a mental list of
0:34everything a normal human being could
0:36dream of buying. You think that in a
0:38couple of hours you'll have solved the
0:39entire problem. You start with the
0:41obvious, cars. You call the most
0:43exclusive dealerships in the country
0:45and buy every model available without
0:47asking for prices. Factory-fresh
0:50Italian sports cars, limited editions
0:52that have been on the waiting list for
0:54years, prototypes that weren't even for
0:57sale yet, but that end up being yours
0:59with a simple phone call. In less than
1:02an hour you have 200 brand-new vehicles
1:05spread across garages that don't even
1:07exist yet, and you've spent a mere $ 40
1:09million. You look, the balance is still
1:13practically intact. You laugh to
1:15yourself in the room. You think this is
1:17going to be easy? That in a couple of
1:19days you'll be finished with plenty of
1:21room to spare. You decide to level up
1:24and call a shipyard that builds yachts
1:26for billionaires. You order the largest
1:29yacht ever built. 1,000 feet long, its
1:33own dock, private submarine included,
1:36an indoor heated pool. The price is $
1:40500 million. You order four more yachts
1:44just in case any of them fall behind
1:46schedule. The total is barely $ 3
1:50billion. Fatigue starts to set in when
1:53you realize the true magnitude of the
1:55number you're dealing with. A trillion
1:58isn't a billion, it's a million billion
2:02. You could buy 1,000 yachts like that
2:05and still have almost all the money in
2:07your account intact. You decide to go
2:10even bigger. You call a luxury real
2:13estate agency and ask to buy mansions.
2:16Not just one. As many as they can get
2:18you in a matter of hours. In a few
2:20hours you acquire 100 of the most
2:22expensive properties on the planet.
2:24Castles in Europe with centuries of
2:26history, palaces on the coast with
2:28endless gardens, private estates with
2:30their own islands within them. The
2:33total expense is around 8 billion. The
2:36balance barely moves, you start to
2:38sweat cold. You understand for the
2:41first time that you really need to
2:43think on a completely different scale
2:45than the one you've used until now. To
2:48close the day, you try something that
2:50seems guaranteed. Jewelry. You order
2:53the most expensive pieces auctioned in
2:55the last decade. Diamonds with their
2:58own names, entire collections kept in
3:01safes in private museums, you pay
3:03without arguing a single price. The
3:06result, again, is the same. Barely a
3:09scratch on a number that seems
3:11bottomless. You get up determined to
3:15buy something that really costs money.
3:17Seriously, Islands, you hire an
3:19international law firm specializing in
3:22buying and selling private territories
3:24and you give them a single instruction:
3:27buy everything that is available. You
3:29discover that there are more islands
3:31for sale than you ever imagined. You
3:34buy an entire archipelago in the
3:35Pacific with pristine beaches and
3:37untouched forests. You buy another
3:40archipelago in the Caribbean, smaller
3:42but with enormous tourist value. You
3:45also buy an uninhabited volcanic island
3:47only because the seller was asking an
3:49absurd price and you want to get rid of
3:50the money as soon as possible. The
3:53total spend for the day is around $ 15
3:56billion. You still have over 98%of the
3:59trillion intact. You begin to truly
4:02understand the scale of the problem you
4:04are facing. Something that deep down
4:06you already suspected, but now becomes
4:08undeniable. You decide to go for
4:10something even more ambitious. Entire
4:13cities. You do some research and
4:15discover that buying a city is not as
4:17simple as writing a big check. Cities
4:20have their own governments, they have
4:22people with rights, they have laws that
4:24protect every inch of their territory.
4:27You are trying to buy a small, bankrupt
4:29city that is in desperate need of
4:30investment. You negotiate for hours
4:33with initially wary local officials.
4:36You manage to acquire infrastructure,
4:38land, and public buildings for a
4:40multi-million dollar sum. But you
4:43realize that, in legal terms, you will
4:45never truly own the city itself, only
4:47its various assets. Still, you close
4:49the deal. Another $ 20 billion
4:51disappears from the account. The day
4:53ends, and the number remains a nearly
4:55untouched mountain, impossible to fully
4:57absorb. You go to bed feeling like
5:00you’re losing a war against an
5:02invisible enemy. Before you close your
5:04eyes, you check your balance again, as
5:06if looking at it a thousand times will
5:07change anything. The number is still
5:09there, enormous. Mocking your every
5:11effort of the day, you start doing
5:13mental calculations nonstop. If at this
5:16rate you’ve spent just a handful of
5:18millions per attempt, you’d need
5:20thousands of transactions like these
5:22just to make a real dent in the figure.
5:25The thought keeps you awake more than
5:27the accumulated physical fatigue. You
5:31wake up with a different idea. If the
5:34money in physical things isn’t
5:35dropping fast enough, perhaps the
5:36solution lies in buying entire
5:38companies in one fell swoop. You call
5:41in your advisors and give them a simple
5:43mandate: buy everything that can be
5:45bought, regardless of the industry. You
5:48acquire an international hotel chain
5:50with a presence in 40 countries. You
5:53buy an entire airline with its fleet of
5:56planes and established routes. You
5:59acquire a mid-sized technology company
6:01just to gain full control of its most
6:03valuable patent. The day wears on and
6:06the acquisitions pile up relentlessly.
6:09A regional oil company with active
6:11deposits, a miner of rare earth
6:13elements essential to the industry, a
6:15national television network. The
6:18day’s spending is over $ 1 billion.
6:22For the first time, you feel the number
6:24actually starting to move. You look at
6:26the balance sheet with something akin
6:28to relief, almost pride in your
6:30progress. You decide to go even further
6:33and target something that almost no one
6:36normally buys: entire banks. You
6:38discover that buying a bank involves
6:40going through regulators, finance
6:42committees, and months of paperwork
6:44that you simply don’t have. Still,
6:48you push hard and manage to acquire
6:50majority stakes in three medium-sized
6:52banking institutions, paying huge
6:54premiums in order to speed up the
6:56process. Before signing the last
7:00contracts of the day, an advisor
7:02mentions the possibility of buying an
7:04entire media chain, including
7:06newspapers, radio channels and digital
7:09portals. You accept without thinking
7:11twice, just to add another large sum to
7:13the list of expenses for the day. The
7:16deal closes in a matter of minutes,
7:18with figures that months ago would have
7:20seemed unrealistic. Another 80 billion
7:23disappears in a single day. You end the
7:26day exhausted, but with the first real
7:28feeling of gaining ground on the number
7:30. Before going to sleep, your advisors
7:33present you with a list of more
7:34companies available for the following
7:36day. Entire car factories, film studios
7:38with decades of history, and
7:40supermarket chains that are present on
7:43several different continents. You
7:45realize that the business world, as
7:47gigantic as it may seem, also has its
7:50limits. Sooner or later, there will be
7:52no more companies willing to sell at
7:54any price. You wake up thinking about
7:58gold, the world’s oldest asset, the
8:00one that never loses value no matter
8:02what. You contact major private and
8:04state reserves willing to sell part of
8:07their reserves. You start buying tons,
8:11literally tons of bullion that have to
8:13be transported in armored trucks and
8:15stored in reinforced vaults that are
8:17built in an emergency just for you. The
8:21gold market is not infinite. As you buy
8:25, the price starts to rise due to your
8:27own uncontrolled demand. Even so, you
8:30manage to acquire a historic amount,
8:33moving the equivalent of $ 200 billion
8:35worth of precious metal spread across
8:37several continents. The balance drops
8:40significantly for the first time since
8:43all this began. Emboldened, you decide
8:46to aim for the sky, contacting private
8:48aerospace companies and commissioning
8:50the construction of your own rockets.
8:53Not one, an entire fleet designed for
8:56future missions that you will probably
8:58never see completed. You finance a
9:02private launch base on the coast, order
9:04satellites, modular orbital stations,
9:06and an entire program aimed at
9:08colonizing territory off-planet. The
9:12project costs over $ 150 billion. But
9:16engineers warn you that it will take
9:18years, not days, to build. You agree to
9:22pay up front anyway, even though you
9:24know you’ll never see a single rocket
9:27launch. The day ends with the balance
9:30falling below half of the original
9:32total. For the first time, you feel
9:34like you might actually be able to make
9:36it before the deadline. You use the
9:38remainder of the day to launch another
9:41round of smaller but steady purchases.
9:43You also commission the construction of
9:45an entire fleet of private submarines.
9:48You fund a research station project in
9:51Antarctica, equipped with technology
9:53that doesn’t even exist outside of
9:55experimental laboratories yet. You buy
9:59the exclusive rights to exploit several
10:01newly discovered lithium deposits. Each
10:04deal costs billions, but the number
10:06still feels like an eternity. You’re
10:10starting to feel genuinely tired
10:12physically and mentally. You’ve spent
10:14days making decisions of a magnitude
10:16that no human being is equipped to
10:18handle without rest. You decide to buy
10:21large-scale private jets, not just one
10:23for yourself. An entire fleet earmarked
10:26for no one in particular, just so you
10:28can get rid of the money as quickly as
10:30possible. You order 50 state-of-the-art
10:33aircraft with interiors customized down
10:35to the last detail. The expense amounts
10:39to 12 billion in a single move. You
10:41still have an amount of money that no
10:44human mind can fully visualize. You
10:47start to get really desperate. You try
10:50to buy things that you know are
10:52impossible just to see what happens
10:54when you try. You try to buy the rights
10:57to an entire ocean. You try to buy the
11:00moon by submitting a formal bid to
11:02international organizations. You try to
11:05buy the air of an entire city as if it
11:07were a tradable asset on any market. At
11:11each attempt, lawyers and officials
11:13patiently explain to you that there are
11:15things that no amount of money in the
11:17world can buy because they simply do
11:19not belong to anyone who can sell them.
11:22The frustration begins to turn into
11:24something akin to desperation. You
11:26realize that the problem is not a lack
11:28of options, but that the physical world
11:30has only so many things that can be
11:32sold, and you have already bought a
11:34good portion of the most expensive ones
11:36in existence. You begin to think that
11:39perhaps the entire trillion was
11:41designed from the beginning to be
11:42impossible to spend in just one week.
11:46You decide to buy another entire bank
11:48chain without negotiating prices,
11:50agreeing to pay double its market value
11:52just to close the deal in a matter of
11:54hours. Another $ 90 billion disappears
11:57in a flash. The balance continues to
12:00decrease, but time also moves without
12:02stopping. You no longer feel the
12:04excitement of the early days. Each
12:06purchase has become a mechanical
12:08procedure repeated over and over again,
12:10without pause or real enjoyment. You
12:12begin to understand that the real enemy
12:15is not the money itself, but the clock
12:17that runs in parallel, indifferent to
12:19how much effort you put into each
12:21transaction. You wake up with your body
12:25exhausted and your mind fogged by
12:26accumulated lack of sleep. You no
12:29longer buy strategically, you buy out
12:31of pure panic. You acquire entire
12:33diamond mines on different continents.
12:36You buy an entire global supply chain
12:39of microchips, from mining to final
12:42assembly. You finance the construction
12:46of entire skyscrapers in various
12:47capital cities, commissioning them to
12:49be erected in record time, even though
12:51you know you will never see the
12:53finished product with your own eyes.
12:56You try again to buy an entire city,
12:59this time a major capital with
13:01international influence. The
13:03governments refuse en masse with no
13:05room for negotiation. No amount of
13:08money can buy the sovereignty of a
13:11recognized territory. You accept defeat
13:14on that front and redirect the money
13:16towards the massive purchase of
13:18agricultural land on several continents
13:20at once, acquiring areas that exceed
13:22the size of entire small countries. You
13:25continue trying to buy impossible
13:27things simply out of desperation. You
13:30offer absurd sums for the right to an
13:33entire mountain range. You try to
13:36acquire the name of a star in the sky
13:38as if it were a valid legal title. You
13:41try to buy the free time of thousands
13:43of people by hiring services that do
13:45not even exist yet. Each failed attempt
13:48reminds you that money, no matter how
13:51gigantic, always comes up against
13:53limits that it cannot cross. You also
13:56commission the purchase of an entire
13:58fleet of high-speed trains for several
14:00different countries, along with the
14:02railway lines necessary to operate them
14:05. You also finance the construction of
14:08several large-scale hydroelectric dams
14:10simply because the engineers in charge
14:12assure you that they can start
14:14construction that same week. Each new
14:17project adds billions to the list of
14:19expenses, even though deep down you
14:22know that none of them will be finished
14:24before the deadline you have. The day's
14:27spending is approaching $ 200 billion.
14:31The balance is falling sharply for the
14:33first time in a clear way. You feel
14:35that the end is near. You look at the
14:37clock and calculate that you only have
14:39one full day left before the day. You
14:41sleep for barely a couple of hours,
14:43interrupted by last-minute calls. In
14:45that brief rest you strangely dream of
14:48the first day, with the easy laughter
14:50in front of the computer, with the
14:52naive certainty that all this would be
14:55simple. You wake up before any alarm
14:57goes off, with a dry throat and your
14:59mind already calculating how much is
15:01left to spend. You wake up with a
15:05racing heart and the feeling of racing
15:08against something invisible. You check
15:10the balance and there is still a scary
15:12figure left. Several hundred billion
15:15dollars spread across different
15:16accounts. You know perfectly well that
15:20this is the last day and that any
15:22miscalculation means losing absolutely
15:24everything you've made so far. You
15:27start calling everyone at once, without
15:29a break in between calls. You order the
15:33purchase of all oil reserves available
15:35on the open market at that moment. You
15:38acquire entire fleets of cargo ships
15:40just to tie up your money in physical
15:42assets that actually exist in the real
15:43world. You buy the last remaining bank
15:47chain available on the international
15:49market, paying absurd amounts without
15:50negotiating anything at all. As the day
15:54progresses, the balance begins to
15:56plummet in a way you've never seen
15:58before. Every hour that passes, tens of
16:02billions disappear in increasingly
16:04extreme and ill-considered purchases.
16:08You end up buying majority stakes in
16:10companies you didn't even know by name.
16:13Just because their owners agreed to
16:15sell quickly at any price in order to
16:17close the day. With noon approaching,
16:19you launch one last round of impossible
16:22attempts. Almost habitually, you offer
16:25an outrageous figure for an entire
16:27country’s broadcasting rights. You
16:30try to buy absolute control of an
16:33entire national power grid, something
16:36no government would ever allow under
16:39any circumstances. You try to acquire
16:43the entire catalog of an entire
16:44entertainment industry, including
16:46studios, theaters, and distributors.
16:50Some attempts progress only halfway,
16:52leaving you with absurdly expensive
16:54partial assets. Others are shut down
16:57with an outright refusal. You keep
17:00buying banks, airlines, mines, and land
17:02relentlessly, stringing together one
17:05deal after another with barely a
17:07leisurely review of the contracts. Your
17:09advisors, exhausted as you are, start
17:11proposing smaller and smaller purchases
17:15, only to speed up the pace of spending
17:17in the final stretches of the day. With
17:20the final hours upon us, the balance
17:22dwindles to figures you can finally
17:25process in your head without hesitation
17:27, billions becoming hundreds, hundreds
17:30becoming tens. You order the final
17:34purchase of another yacht, another
17:35mansion, another handful of jets, just
17:37to scratch the last few digits off the
17:39screen. It’s minutes before midnight
17:43when you look at the screen for the
17:45last time, your hands shaking slightly.
17:48The balance reads zero. You stand still
17:52, breathing heavily, surrounded by
17:54contracts, assets, and properties
17:56scattered across half the planet that
17:59you’ll never be able to visit all of
18:01them, even if you lived 100 different
18:04lives. You feel no relief, only a huge,
18:08silent emptiness, much bigger than you
18:11expected when you started all this. The
18:15money is gone, and with it, the idea
18:17that spending a fortune is something
18:19easy.
