I mean, if a person with a normal budget purchases a fortress the IRS (Or their country's equivalent) is gonna notice. Pretty much any government in existence isn't gonna want someone with the power to single handedly ruin any economy to exist.
Not if they are smart and hire an accountant.
The prompt just says "money" so you could use any and all currencies. You almost certainly would touch your own countries currency last, so you have something easy to trade with.
Also how good is the IRS at taxing the rich already?
Depends on if it's generational wealth, or a normal person getting rich. But yeah, the best accounting firm money can buy would probably take care of that problem pretty quickly.
Yeah it would be tricky, you would have to play your cards right and play them close to your chest... But you have sooo much power, there are a multitude ways you could succeed.
Even if you knew nothing about economics, finance or accounting you could just take a vacation to some small island country where they have there own small currency and news travels slowly. Build up some wealth before you go there, rent the most extravagant things you can and get close to the upper echelon and then blackmail them into helping you... Or use a carrot and cut them in on your plans.
People are bribed so cheaply that I think it would be easier than you think to get a fortress, (metaphorical or otherwise) between you and would be assasins before they even realize who you are.
Do you know that no one actually knows who the richest man is? We only have guesses who would be in the top 10.
