    I’m pretty sure 11b could buy trumps assassination. Probably all of them.

    Apparently I’m not the only one who misread the title asking what would I buy with that money.

    New fuel injectors, rear axle and leaf springs for my truck and I’d pay off my house. Not sure what I’d do with the remaining 11.3 billions though. Maybe buy something nice for myself. New flashlight perhaps.

    I’d spend it all on butter!

    I haven’t thought beyond that point, but it wouldn’t be spent worse than it is now.

    All the debts I could buy of people struggling to pay it, keeping enough for living the rest of my life (less than 1% I think)
