Tfw, a loophole in US federal law <b>technically</b> allows the US President to authorize the minting of a <b>trillion-dollar coin</b> as a way to bypass congressional shutdowns surrounding the budget/national debt. The idea was that the coin would be be minted and "deposited" into the bank, adding a trillion extra dollars to the budget/debt allocation. The coin would later be destroyed and removed from circulation once congress approved a budget.<br><br>But assuming that coin is legal tender throughout its existence, technically you could steal it and as long as you're holding it, you're more than 5 times richer than Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk (or over 3 times richer than Elon Musk)
