If you could go back in time, to any date, with the goal of becoming as rich as possible what would you do?

Nonsensical question lil folks... time travel directly violates multiple laws of physics. If you want to get rich, It is always the right time and this is the only place we have.
:smh:It’s hypotheticals, learn to read the room

Were black people allowed to invest back then? We certainly couldn’t buy land wherever we wanted. These are the kinds of things we need to think about here.

Sure. You could invest back then and then the shyt gets Tulsa’d. But we’re talk strict hypotheticals and what would the strategy be if you happened to be around back then.

We already know brehs would go to thru hell trying to command a steel empire or keeping oil rigs safe from constant sabotage

Where are you getting your buy money considering your arriving in the past with nothing

:patrice:
If Im coming with no cash I find an investor already grinding and tell him if I find a deal he put up cash and we split it. Most would take that offer. After 1 or 2, I just do it myself after..

Next challenge is finding a deal little to no cash. I have gotten deals posting I buy houses on craigslist even so just put in sweat equity and grind it out..

Depending how much money I would have… easiest is lotto cause it takes nothing. With money to move around, stock and real estate… bring me to the 90’s

I'd go back to 2020 and get some unemployment and "other" bandemic money. Oh wait, I did that, lol.

I got mine nikka, did you get yours?

Easy…write down the lottery wining numbers in the future. And go back to the past with it.
This 100%.

Pick a lottery with a huge jackpot...collect the winnings one drawing BEFORE the actual winner got it...so I'd be the sole winner. Make sure to know the tax rules and then be set...wouldn't even have to go back that far.

Easy to just get lotto numbers.

But if we want more “adventure” then the Gilded Age and Industrial Revolution would be it. You’d get rich off of oil, steel and the steam engine and would basically be a king. Imagine buying up as much land as possible and redefining borders with infrastructure.

This is all pre-highway, pre mass aviation and the car boom so you’d control the flow of goods, how people travel and the supply chain.

I’d just have to deal with the you know being black thing.

What year do .com domain names go on sale? :jbhmm:

Whatever year that is, that's the day I'm going to. I would buy up all the valuable names I could think of, and create generational wealth selling them.

And oh yeah, I'm creating Facebook the year before Zuckerberg does it. I would wait until the year before his site is gonna go live, and I would swoop in and create it first just to take that cac's soul.
