I don't think people fully grasp the scale of a trillion dollars. A trillionaire is a million millionaires.

It's impossible to efficiently manage that much wealth in one brain. Distribute it!

I'd run an essay contest. Every year the best thousand ideas are selected by yours truly and get funded at $100 million each. Even then, it would take a decade to burn through one trillion. It's a tough job, but I accept.
