What did Drake do with all the money? What was the before then and what was the after effects?

Five times the GDP of the United States is 65 trillion dollars. That's equal to the current world GDP. Invest it and increase the GDP of the earth by 10% after a slight period of adjustment. Distrubute the revenue from your investments among the world's 6.6 billion people and you give everyone an yearly income of roughly $10,000 a year, eliminating poverty. The 65 trillion is enough money to stabilize climate change (say $7 trillion), eliminate malaria (say 20 billion), hunger (say a trillion) and poverty.

But, but, there are groups that might get upset with me if I did that. I'd be accused of allowing the "Undermensch" of breeding out of all control!
(I'm thinking of those showtunes from "The Producers" at the moment. The original one with Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder)
Of course, I'd already be the biggest target on the planet.
