Wondering what to do with US$6 billion?
So Groupon said no to Google’s 6 billion offer? Hmm surely that shouldn’t be a problem for Google as there are plenty of other good investments where all that spare cash could end up.
Here are some suggestions:
- Invest US$1M in 6000 different startups, create 10 of thousands of jobs and probably put your hands on the next Groupon/Facebook thingy…
- Buy out 60% of Niger and put an end to all those scams.
- Buy 124 fighter jets from Boeing and bomb Facebook headquarters.
- Finance 10% for the colonisation of planet Mars (Imagine all that free ad-space!!) and/or finance 5 years of NASA programs.
- Build 6 (ugly) houses
- Finance about a day worth of US national debt - or don’t… Since nobody really cares about that anyway.
