How would you waste an obscene pile of money?

Suppose you had some number of billions of dollars and you sensibly decided to set aside 10 million to provide for endless opulent living and dedicate the rest to eccentricity i.e. being a crazy ass motherfucker.

What crazy ass shit would you do with your effectively endless wealth?

Save the Children or Red Cross, I'm not quite sure.

Okay, effectively infinite money? I'm going to, shamelessly, ruthlessly, buy myself a friend. I'd hold auditions, maybe tryouts for a year to make sure this is a person I can get along with, someone who can get along with me for the rest of our lives, and then I'd give her � infinity money, no strings attached, just to be sure she's not hanging with me for the money. And if I'm lucky this way I can find a person who thinks of these things in the same terms I do, and gets that I don't think giving her that money means she owes me anything, that the money in fact doesn't mean anything at all to me, and then we can decide to be BFFs ever after.

Walk around in public, and occasionally throw some stranger's phone against the ground then throw money at them.

Solve the US debt crisis.

Solve the EU debt crisis.

Buy the rights to Firefly.

Throw money at transhumanism research until they can make me immortal, loading myself up with superhuman enhancements along the way.

Go to university after university, majoring in different programs each time, to properly Red Mage myself into infinity.

Ride the Vomit Comet.

Threesome with Felicia Day and Ellen Page.

Buy happiness.

EDIT: And I mean the good kind of immortal, too. Agelessness, y'know? Not that bullshit oh you keep aging but just never die of old age. I don't want to get old. Ever.

EDIT 2:

Also, I would buy some liquid money, so that I could swim in it :3. I would probably blow all my money in Steam sales and what not.

I mean okay if you want the ENTIRE plan what I'd actually do is get some totally ridiculous shmuck and CONVINCE him that I'm going to turn him into Batman and then get him just enough training and technology to turn him into someone who will fail utterly at being Batman in some totally disastrous and catastrophic way with dire, dire consequences from which I myself will be perfectly insulated due to my aforementioned incredible wealth.

But I mean, one step at a time, you know?
