Flight. Especially if I can cheat the system by carrying people who are carrying people. Even if you can only take one other person you can still basically abolish national borders in a matter of weeks. Refugees all over the globe, libertarians dropped into Somalia, liberation for oppressed people everywhere.

Another issue with flight is that you'd be obligated to help people.

"Oh great another loving penthouse orphanage is on fire"

with a billion dollars you SHOULD be obligated but you definitely won't be.

Penthouses are encouraged to burn to the ground and indeed starting a fire at the top of buildings will bring about rapid social change.

Once all the billionaires are in space just let go and fly back to Earth. Some nice island somewhere. Also lol at AA weapons taking you down, you fly at mach 9 and are basically undetectable by modern technology by virtue of being made of meat.

you could poop on people from low earth orbit although the math would probably be pretty difficult

They’ll just shoot you, op

you can't shoot someone who can move mach 9 unless they let you you'd be roughly 500x as fast as the fastest bullet
