Buy Digg for Xmas... or Any of These 5 Things for $300 Million
Got $300 million to spare? Digg recently announced that it is now for sale with a price tag of a cool $300 million.
So if you're feeling lonely this holiday season, you can buy your own social network of over a million people. But if you're already satisfied with your current social network, here are 5 other things you can splurge on to establish yourself as an eccentric multi-millionaire.
1) Go to the moon with 2 buddies. It's the ultimate road trip! Through Space Adventures, you and your friends can get higher than you've ever been in your life for the paltry sum of $100,000,000 per person
2) Build 541 Sears Towers out of Oreos. With $300 million you can buy 3 billion Oreo cookies, enough to stack them high enough to build 541 Sears Towers. Unfortunately, this doesn't cover the cost of milk... More facts about Oreos.
3) 3,000,000 donkeys. Talk about ass-ets! Through Oxfam America Unwrapped, you can buy 3,000,000 donkeys for disadvantaged families in developing countries. And if asses aren't to your liking, you can buy goats or sheep instead.
4) Turn Kazakhstan from a laughing stock into an online power. Using CityMax or a similar online website builder, you can build a website for nearly every person in Kazakhstan - enough to make the country an online force to be reckoned with. This would certainly offset Kazakhstan's reputation as a backward land of racist yokels. Take that Sacha Cohen!
5) A Trip around the World... in Twinkies! With $300 million you can buy enough Twinkies to string them around the world (at the equator) 1.5 times. And for the record, 600 million Twinkies is 100 million more than Hostess makes in a single year, so if you're gonna do this, you might want to give them some notice. More facts about Twinkies.
