Could you buy the entire state of Kansas for $40B?

It's a whole lot more cost effective to just buy the government.

I don't want the government. I want the physical plot of land.

The govt would be a huge pain in the ass.  It would be like buying hemorrhoids or something.  I mean, why?  Buy the land.

You really don't. It's Kansas.

I would hire Megadeth to play my graduation party next December and then throw a bunch of rotten tomatoes and heads of lettuce at them. Every one in attendance would be required to do so.
You'd stay in school? Good choice. Don't want to be a rich dummy!

I'd probably go back and get another bachelors after I finished my masters, just because being here is fun.

Being there with $40B would probably be even more fun.  :dunno:

I wouldn't make it for very long.

Give some money to some folks, invest some money, live in California and have an annual pass to Disneyland. Probably spend my days pretending like I can write, and I'd still probably get my books published even if they really sucked, because I'm a super rich guy which makes me better than everybody else. When I had writer's block I'd just go to Disneyland and ride Splash Mountain, I bet that'd cure writer's block real well.

Also, the rick daris party deck at LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium would be an actual thing.

I'd probably buy the buildings that house Kite's, Rusty's and KKKaw's and kick out the current businesses.

give the world free pizza for a day.

6B ppl / 3 ppl per pizza * $20 per pie (non of that cheap crap) = $40Bill

could probably run for president of the world after the fact too...

So you are going to screw 1B people out of their pizza? Or are you assuming those are the picky eaters who don't like pizza?

There are limits to what $40B can do.

Ask for a list of recruits wanted by coaches and take care of the rest.
