It isn't about the money, It's what you can do with the money.
Build a spaceship and go to Mars. Build trucks that look like nothing else on wheels. Influence millions on social media. Advise the President.
Maybe I would take some of that money and hand it out to people who are hard up. Pay somebody's rent when they are about to get evicted. Fix somebody's car so they can get to work the next week. Buy somebody's groceries so their kids don't go hungry this week. Maybe pull a few old dogs from the shelter who are about to be euthanized and give them another few years running in a nice backyard and sleeping in my warm bedroom.
Change a few lives for the better.

You could be Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos (although Amazon does very little manufacturing), and first thing in the morning simply decide to end world hunger.
In reply to Snowdoggie (Forum Supporter) :
You get the position of the CEO but you don't get to be the person who is currently CEO, so you don't get access to their personal wealth. So under the rules of the thread if you want to do any good you'd have to set up a charity program from the corporate profits of the company you take over, similar to the clothing/gear company Patagonia.
Edit: This could also complicate my Dogecoin 2: Electric Boogaloo plan for exfiltrating wealth from the scenario. Being the interim CEO of Tesla may not give you as much cryptobro influence as being Elon Musk, but choosing just the right manufacturing CEO could still make it workable. Nvidia maybe?
If you were CEO and majority owner of a company like Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos, you probably can do whatever you want. If you are the CEO of Stellantis, you are an employee and probably can not even change the car lineup or the carpeting in the board room without the approval of the Board of Directors and the many investors including the Agnelli Family, the Peugeot Family, Dongfeng Motor Co. and owners of all the other entities that were mixed in with this dog's breakfast of a corporation.
