Can a civilian own a fully armed Aircraft Carrier?

Sure, but it might depend on your definition of aircraft carrier

Always play this game when buying a lottery ticket.

I would immediately donate 20% to a number of churches (tithing and then some)
Donate another 20-30% to other charities or causes
I would find a way of making things comfortable for my closer relatives, something like pay off their mortgage so they can start debt free.
Buy a few modest toys, upgrade to a moderately nice house
Fly first class wherever I went.
Invest the remaining and continue to give and spend as life develops.

i thought you didn't support religion, especially Christians.

Forgot to add, I would def move out of Hawaii and fund any friends who want to do the same, but can't afford to.  This way it makes traveling much easier in the mainland. No need fly across the Pacific Ocean.

GIve friends who want to move a few years spending money, buy a home and car.  Pay for any caregivers needed for parents of other family members who cannot travel, which is whats causing them to stay in HI.

So can I sit on your lap like the movie Pearl Harbor style in the P40 as the Mustang is a single seater.

Sure!

Drop dead in dis belief….

No idea what would ever give you that idea. Pretty sure I mentioned going to church on this forum on more than one occasion.

I would start an inter island ferry service for motorcycles

How about motorcycle-powered paddle boats for inter-island travel? 

No idea what would ever give you that idea. Pretty sure I mentioned going to church on this forum on more than one occasion.

Going to church doesn't make you religious.  Nor does it mean you support the church's mission.

Have you been baptized? Do you attend mass weekly?  Do you go to confession?  Do you give 10% or more of your income to the church? Do you volunteer to help with church activities and programs?  Are you a Sunday School teacher?

Just going to church on Christmas and Easter doesn't count.

BTW, you seem to have pretty negative view of morals, especially if anyone in a position of power makes decisions that incorporate their principles.  You think morals are situational and fluid.

Hence your stance on the right to discriminate against the unvaxed, even if the person involved refused the vaccine on religious grounds.

So, yeah, I think you don't respect religion -- a belief system that is full of symbols and symbolism.  How can you respect religion if you have no respect for the symbols of the church?

If I was the richest person in the world I would do as CMO mentioned.

I would travel around incognito, and anonymously gift money to people in need. 

I would make sure every genuine charity that helps children in need gets the funding they need to do their mission.  And much more so they can bring the children to amusement parks, petting zoos, and recreational outings.

I would secretly handsomely compensate Doctors, Surgeons, Dentists, and all the other types of Health professionals out there that commit to Doctors without Borders as they dedicate their talents Self-Lessly to people in need and who cannot pay for health services.  I say secretly so greedy and self centered people don't enter the program for money and recognition to pad their resumes and won't give 100% effort to the needy.

Everything and anything I can do to improve people's lives: eliminate hunger, sadness, and pain I will do.  Not trying to be God, but I would spend every penny I have to create a Heaven on Earth.  And I will make sure that when my time comes to die, that I leave without a single penny.  That my body is wrapped in a clean white linen and laid in a simply dug grave.  No marker and no ceremony needed.

There is also a dark side with me being the richest person in the world.  I also will champion justice and eliminate evil and crime.  With my wealth I will target every type of criminal in this world.  Justice will be swift and cruel.  I will go after Presidents, politicians, lawyers,  leaders of other countries, everybody and anybody that makes a child cry, a woman husbandless, and a man with no family.

Some will say I'm trying to be God.  It would seem that way.  But I'm God's tool.  I have the wealth.  I have the drive.  I just need his guidance and spirit in me.  If I stray, may he strike me down in an instant.

So yeah.  If I was the richest person in the world, I would use my money to spread happiness and strike down evil.

Down to the very last cent.

Sorry it's not as fun as the other scenarios.  That's why I held back in participation.  I guess I'm a little under the weather with all this f*ckn crap happening in biden world.

I knew a surgeon who worked for free for an org that helps reconstruct children with cleff lips.  He said they offered him some monetary compensation, but he refused as he made enough doing surgeon stuff here.  All his volunteer surgeries were international.

He said he wish he was able to do it sooner, but as he got older, he only then realized he has enough money and toys.

I like that part about "strike down evil".
I don't think that is possible but it's a nice thought.
You can't have "good" without "bad". It's philosophy...

from The Batman:
"who are you?"
"Vengeance"

I Am Batman !
To the Bat Cave…
Heck yeah. Bat Cave, Batmobile, Bat cycle, helicopter, jet, etc…..
Fully loaded utility and weapons belt I can openly carry.

I'd build real marinas with decent amenities and invite thousands of libertarian yachties to set up residence and overturn key elections with new voters

Shaq was on a TV show talking to his kids in his kitchen. He told them "you guys aint rich, I'm rich".

So made me think of this idea, instead of giving money to friends/family, buy them a business that makes them money. An already established business where all they gotta do is sign the paychecks. THis way they're not working 60 hrs a week trying to start a new business that might fail.  So like a McDonalds or few McDonalds franchises.  Pretty much enough to have them take home about $100-$200K a year easily. Because a bigger business will come with more headaches.  Or even buy like 1% of a sports team so they can have income of said amount or so.  Instead of just giving them $10 million that they may spend foolishly and after a few years have spent it all.

So it's almost like teach a man to fish.
