** Blowing Clark Kent's mind by suddenly announcing that he intends to give a much more generous health and pension plan to Lexcorp employees instead of going forward with a planned series of layoffs, and then claiming he's doing it not for humanitarian purposes but because "we ran the numbers and market forecasting says we actually make more money this way."

** Obtaining a sample of Plastic Man's DNA for purposes of superpower experimentation by the simple expedient of offering Plas $25 million for it (to go to either him, a charity of his choice, or both). When Plastic Man asks why "Luthor" is doing this when there's any number of mercenary supervillains who'd gladly wrestle him down and forcibly extract a tissue sample for 50 grand, "Luthor" responds by saying "Because I'm entirely willing to pay $24+ million extra for the benefit of pissing Superman off by making this a legal transaction he can't interfere with, and it's hardly like I can't afford it." Plas finds this explanation 100% believable.
