holy ****! a billionaire just for ****ing pos ****ing mine****ingcraft?!?! jesus!

i thought it was a huge deal for jk rowling to be a billionaire because of harry potter. harry potter is huge with everyone on earth reading all 7 books, and 8 blockbuster movies, and theme parks and a play and all that other **** that goes along with it.

harry potter is a real work of art. and as about as commercially successful as any art could ever hope to be. and ****ing minecraft makes more money! jesuse ****

I'm gonna invest $1000 in Brewdog

I won't be rich, but I'll be in on the ground floor of a great beer company and I'll get exclusive offers as a share holder and a discount card.

I'm going to pay the entrance fees for this young up and coming MMA guy called Connor McGreggor in exchange of 10% of his fighting income for the next 10 years.

For my 2nd 'other' pick I'm going to deposit $1000 on PokerStars on September 11th 2001 (same day that filthy will be on that plane)

With my knowledge now I should be able to at least break even back then...

For my final pick I am going to invest $1000 into filthyvermin's company "twitter"

I'm sure that together we'll make a pretty penny and have a bunch of fun along the way

I'm putting a grand on Party Poker around the same time. Games were way softer.

For stocks, investing in JDS Uniphase and Nortel in 1997, cashing out right before the tech bubble burst. When I first started working at the government, a few of my coworkers had a lot of friends who worked for those two companies and were paper millionaires thanks to stock options. I wonder if even 1% of them were smart enough to walk off with the cash before it all went belly up.
