Find the 299 most influential people in the world and pay them 10m a year for twenty years to do my bidding. Hold on the last 2 billion for reserves in case they turn on me.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned buying Microsoft or Apple and "open source"-ing them. That would be $300b if you buy them at market cap value.
