Spend Bill Gates' Money: weird website review & sites like it

You are handed $100 billion and told to spend it. The page lays out a shopping list of items with prices, from a $2 Big Mac up to a $2.12 billion NBA team, and you buy and sell with a click. The balance counter at the top is the real star: it barely twitches no matter how much stuff you pile into the cart.

It is part of Neal Agarwal's neal.fun collection, and it dates to 2020. It works on phones and takes about five minutes, longer if you decide to see whether you can actually empty the account. Perfect for anyone who has idly wondered what they would buy with a billion.

Tips for getting the most out of it

Try to spend the whole amount; it is harder than it sounds.
Sell things back to see how fast you can undo a spree.
Try buying the cheap and the huge items together.
