No, no, no. You forgot. First invest the 400 million, and then give from the income that it generates.

There are ONLY 3 Laws in Thermodynamics..

No, the Fourth Law of Thermodynamics states that the innate perversity of inanimate objects tends to a maximum.

You are off on your math. a million times a million is not a billion, but a trillion. $1 billion divided by 300 million people is only about $3.33.
