A mysterious stranger appears at your doorstep, holding a box with a button. He offers you $1 Billion, in exchange for pressing the button, which will cause someone you don't know to die. You choose NOT to press the button.
 
or
 
You build a doomsday device to destroy the world, hold the world ransom, and they defy you. So you activate the device and destroy the world.

If you choose NOT to press the button then this is basically neutral. The only bad thing about it is the hassle of having coming to your doorstep. Similar to a salesman.

Well, it does have one downside; it shows that there are mysterious strangers like this in the world, randomly enriching people who are willing to kill for wealth. I wouldn't sleep very easily in such a world. Though come to think of it, I probably wouldn't believe him in the first place.

I'm going to assume that means I have an escape rocket or something. and a space station.

It might not be a "boom, new asteroid belt" sort of destroy-the-world device. Maybe it's an "overrun the land with mutant carnivorous dandelions" doomsday, or a "plague that turns people into giant snails" doomsday, the sort that you can wait out in your bunker with a select group of loyal henchmen to repopulate the world afterward.
