He could simply give it to the $ill and Melinda Gates Foundation. They have excellent management systems and are out to do some seriously good things. <Wellington economist Gareth Morgan has decided to give his $47m share from the sale of Trade Me to charity. > Or, teach people economics by literally having a bonfire with it and giving free beer to attendees. That should make for a lot of fun every time a shovel full of $100 notes goes on the fire. He should use old banknotes to avoid wasting freshly printed ones. He could have many bonfires if he used old $5 notes instead. He could have lucky draws every 10 minutes of $100 to keep interest and attendance high. He could give lectures on "how money works". Most people in NZ are clueless and would be fascinated. They would think it a horrendous waste of money. They'd demand the police stop him. And give it to them. They would attack him. Or, fund high-risk scientific, technological or other ventures which if they work would benefit huge numbers of people [and might give him even more money to worry about].
