Many other things too, not worth listing because they are not noteworthy in terms of a forum response. Charities, technology and research grants, houses (maybe a castle), travel. Not cars. I don't have that particular fetish.
But I'm serious. I'd become Batman.
Realistically as well, you'd have to distribute a lot of it into VERY diversified interests. A person with that much money could literally topple economies on a whim. I'd probably have to hire an entire firm just to manage my assets.
Keep it to avoid f*cking up the world economy and drawing attention to myself, only spending it in small amounts.

100 Trillion dollars? Removing life from the equation, isn't that the combined value of the resources of all the four inner planets?
I could live in unrestrained freedom, be a world saving do-gooder, or waste it all on synthesizing enough antimatter to make a working photon torpedo (the price on antihydrogen these days is what, 3.5 trillion dollars an ounce?

If I had a trillion dollars I prob go crazy. It is estimated that new found wealth IE, people who win the lottery tend to lose their winnings within three years just because they can not handle being rich.
I would probably build roads, help the city where I am living try to establish itself and make it more attractive by donating money towards thee arts. IE hire a sulpture to do monuments and statues all around the city.
I remember it from an ecology class regarding financial estimates of natural resources. The Earth's value is something like $245 Quadrillion Dollars but the value of it's non-living resources is only something like $30 Trillion. Keeping in mind that certain materials, such as diamonds are grossly inflated in value by market manipulation and that other resources may be rare on earth but common throughout the universe. Now keeping in mind differences in size and the idea that the four terrestrial planets and their moons are more or less made of the same shit, that leaves the values of the non-living real estate of the inner solar system at somewhere in the ballpark of 100 trillion bucks.

I'd fund nuclear powerplants and try to fund a project for building nuclear warheads. Then once having said war-heads I'd declare war on the planet, destroying vegetation and what-not, and establish myself as the most notorious villain in human history.
Either that or I'd **** with rap and R&B artists...or build schools.
Take all Debt held by the federal government plus the states, counties, cities and other municipalities and pay it off.
Make phone calls to every financial institution in the country and pay off every debt there is.
Based upon current figures that would take about 35 trillion dollars.
I've paid off every house, car, credit card. The budget is balanced. Now what?
Figure how many house representatives. I gove about 100 billion to each district to do with as they feel necessary. So that's now about another 43.5 trillion.
I've spent 78.5 trillion, take 10 trillion and toss it at the federal government to make sure social security has enough money to last us for a while.
Then I take that 11.5 trillion and say I'm tired of all the whining about reparations... And there is less than but let's round up to it... 40 million African Americans today. So I pay out 8 trillion divided equally for reparations of 200000 to each person. Now with these fat checks who do you blame for all the problems. Everyone is equal footing.
With the last 3 trillion I buy star wars from George Lucas and give it to Steven spielberg to do it right. And I build my own theater to watch every movie Ive ever wanted to without some annoying person bothering me.
I keep the other 500 billion. It could come in handy.

Looking at you.
I would make everyone on the Earth rich beyond their belief, and then all of the economy on the Earth would collapse.
This reminds me of a D&D game I DM'ed years ago. The campaigners found a ever-flowing chest of gold. They set it up and printed gold coins after gold coins until gold was so common that no one wanted it. This totally destroyed the game world and lead to a big war were the chest was lost.
