I'd buy a gulfstream and fly in style and buy a house in one of those aviation communities ( i think thts whta they call it ) in Florida where you have runways beside your house and a hangar instead of a car garage 😀😀😀
 
I'd buy a Bugatti Veyron. Being able to go 0 - 60 in 2.5 seconds, and a top speed of 252 miles an hour.... is almost all I need.
 
Private Internet Cafe

After that, I'd buy up over half of some western European nation (perhaps Spain) and then crown myself emperor of that nation for owning most of the land! I'm sure this could be arranged with enough government bribes, too
 
A fleet of ex-soviet/US nuclear powered submarines.

Every copy of gigli - including the masters - to burn for light in my obligatory mansion.

And what's left of the Mir space station - in my mansions back yard, Modern Art at it's finest! 😀
 
I'd by stakes in the Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics. I'd buy a castle and pay people to lay siege to it and defend it with real weapons and stuff and maybe buy and M1 Abrams tank to use on my old office building and elementary school.

And just to be a softy, I'd donate lots of money to charities and public schools...
 
I would build a billion-dollar worthy house on the University of Notre Dame campus and get season tickets to football games for the rest of my life.

13) Atomic Metron B5's

I guess that's enough for the petty stuff, but here's the big ticket item:

The New Orleans Saints. Get them out of the hands of that dick Benson, and keep them in New Orleans. I'll even spend my own money to build them an amazing new field.
 
I'd buy Walmart. Then I'd tellall the manufacturers that wall mart pushes around, that now, you have to open at least 1 manufacturing plant in the US and Then I would expand my walmart stores in china to carry cheaply made US goods.

Oh, and then 2 chicks at the same time in outer space.

I would quickly find a way to invest, launder the money, or fake my own death so as not to pay the massive inheritance tax


use 2 million for spending and vacation, 10 million to charity, and reinvest the rest.
 
all my neighbour's houses, let them stay, with only 1 condition, don't call the ****** city on me every time the lawn doesn't get cut. Just for background, I have 7 neibours, yes 7, I have a big lot and basically the other lots form a U around mine.
 
I only read throught the first page so far, some good ideas in there.

I always thought if I became filthy rich, I would like to fight crime like Batman. I'd attempt to become "Super" something or another. Armored suit, gadgets galore, Armored car, the works!

I'd also like to do a big trip somewhere with friends and family. Go all out on a snowboard trip at Aspen or to some tropical island.

Yeah, I'd get lavish to a certain point, but I'd give big percentages to various charities too. The Karma boomerang will bring it back 10 fold, so do the right thing!
