But you can use it. In very limited ways, but still, you could. Evaluated this way, then you have infinite value.

If you still doubt this, then . . . Do you know that Santa Clause was once listed as the richest fictional character by Forbes? Giving gifts to children every year, Santa Clause has the estimated value of ∞. This is a similar situation. You have infinite resource to invest, Santa gives infinite amount of gifts . . . if Santa have an infinite value why can't you?

And seriously, your analogy is just off.

And you can invest, but considering you have infinite amount of resource to invest, you can virtually invest in everything. You have the world economy in your claws.
I think this just depends on how you consider yourself to be rich. If I have money but I can't spend it willingly with freedom I might as well be a crackhead junkie asking for quarters.

I'd invest in a cartel and buy out all the major alphabet agencies around the world. Then slowly make drugs legal, and therefore boring, by controlling the wholesale of said drugs and stifling the drug market.

I'd also invest in hostile take overs of every major industry in the world and bring them under my umbrella. After I become a drug mogul that is.

Lastly I'd abolish all forms of government and indoctrination. And sit back and watch the world do its thing.

This is my chaotic neutral dream.

You can do a lot with money, but money can't do everything. Even if you say "I'm going to do 'x'", it's unlikely that you can just get to that point necessarily with money. You need a game plan.

Now, with unlimited money, the best use for it would be to use it to break up monopolies. There are many larger businesses that exist merely because of the massive opportunity costs that exist to get industry. If you want to make money, go into industries that could use more competition, like cellphone service providers or the computer industry or airlines.

I think I understand what you are going for. You don't mean being rich, but being able to use the resource to help yourself.

This is actually quite easy. You make a deal. Invest in a car company? Have them agree to provide you cars as part of the bargain. Invest in a hotel and they pretty much will provide you their accommodations. A smartphone company and they pretty much will provide for your smartphone needs. Things like that for pretty much anything.

Let's say, in a hypothetical situation, God has given you unlimited funds. However, you can't use those funds for yourself. You could only use it for le BUSINESS, and le INVESTMENT so you could become rich.

How would you become rich?
I'm assuming the fund is not your possession? Go research for time travel, kill all the researcher to prevent leak, and win all lottery by time travelling to the past.

Damn that's a pretty smart loophole. Instead of using cash just dump Charisma stat and convince em to give you shit
