What would you do to get rich if you knew that you couldn’t die but wanted to get rich fast?

Betting? Lottery? Risky jobs? What do you think would make the most money the fastest.

    If not dying means being invincible, probably just bet on myself against rich people doing impossible things and then gambling that money.

    Not being able to die or being invincible during those 4 years with no consequences after ?

    Depends on the mechanism by which I can’t die. Maybe an invisible force stops me from doing dangerous things. Maybe I have just really good luck for four years. Maybe I am literally immortal for four years, like shoot a gun point blank at my cheat and it bounces off the skin.

    Potentially start a mega church / cult as the second coming of everyone’s god(s). Readjust some beliefs to start from a baseline of every single human being having human rights. Rake in money from the rich fucks who think they can buy their way into some sort of heaven.

    Couldn’t die = invincible and invulnerable from anything or “couldn’t die” from a monkey’s paw wish?

    Because the latter might be “couldn’t die because in a few minutes you get a serious accident where you stay in a coma for 4 years and then die”

        How about building a society where the poor don’t have to rely on donations from the rich?

          I agree that idealy no one would have to donate to the poor, but we don’t live in a society like that so if you have spair money you don’t need or want you might as well donate.

          And if you still don’t want to donate to the poor then you can donate to other projects like funding renewable energy initiatives or open source software.

            I do live in a society which has social security programs based on a shared taxes instead of relying on donations from rich. Same with offering base human needs like free healthcare and free education.

    Going on tv and doing rediculous stunts, Russian roulette cliff jumping into solid ground. Smashing bricks into your head. Idk whatever the host or viewers come up with.

    Mr beast would probably hire me full time, I would save him money cause he would no longer have to CGI or fake his dangerous contraptions.
