This is absolutely the first luxury I would get. Delicious home cooked meals? Not having to decide what to feed my picky toddler? Not having to do the dishes? Sounds like heaven to me!

I hate it when I'm dining at The Y and the kid interrupts, starts crying, or goes off on a tantrum.
I don't get to finish the 1st course. So the wifey certainly won't get her pie down at 15t course. Then no one ends up satisfied. Everyone is in a bad mood.
Lol @ the idea of some big shot chef doing dishes. I'm sure there's some out there that would, but many times you're lucky if you can get the chef to even put his dishes by the sink. Similar to how someone working in an office won't take their garbage out or clean their desk - "I'm too important to be doing that"
Yeah, but not just a chef, a full kitchen team. People to make food that rotate shifts so they have time off (and stay happy). People to clean the kitchen an do dishes. People to go buy the foods and cooperate with the chefs to make sure I have a good diet, etc.

Not having to do the dishes?
I mean, you can get that one without being a billionaire, a dishwasher is like $400
I have had dishwashers in my houses for my entire life and "doing dishes" has still always been a chore. Dishwashers don't magically load and unload themselves, they don't scrape off anything that's been dried on a dish like oatmeal (especially if it only cost $400), they might not even fully clear off some oil-based substances like butter, and there's still a ton of things that are not dishwasher safe. I have to hand-clean most of my post and pans as well as some stemware and my super-insulated thermoses.
Having a dishwasher just takes about half the work out of the chore, that's all.
A dishwasher doesn't really stop you having to do the dishes. You still need to get all the food off the dishes, clean the sink, load the dishwasher, then unload it after it runs. It's really more of a "sanitizer" than a dish washer, unless you're talking about a commercial unit which won't work in your house

I live in an area that has dozens of private chefs on call. Each one specializes in a different type of food: Italian, BBQ, etc. Instead of hiring a private chef full time to cook for you whenever you want, you just rent chefs whenever your hungry.
You could technically do this yourself every night. I eat like a king at a fraction of the cost and the expense of some energy. I don't have a TV subscription though so the extra time makes it kind of work out for me.
edit: as far as the toddler thing, would it be considered abuse to not force them to eat healthier options but not cooking them anything else, and saving the healthier food for when they get hungry?

I always thought this too. Also a dietician that ensures the chef is giving me calories I need and a personal trainer. I'd probably also buy a farm and hire people to run it so the chef has the most fresh, organic, homegrown ingredients available. I'd love daily bed clothes changes too, like a hotel, and the linen used would be the highest quality possible
I'd also build a home theatre room with the perfect dimensions to have a floor to ceiling/wall to wall screen, like an IMAX screen at home, and pay whatever fees are required to screen the latest movie releases so I'd never have to endure the annoyance other people cause at the cinema again
You should just buy a hotel then. Live in the penthouse. let the other guests pay for your luxury. Hotel chef makes your specific meals. Close the gym at 8pm for your private workouts with a trainer.
How much money can a restaurant really lose in a year? 100k if it's wildly unsuccessful? That's 10 million in your lifetime, barely a drop in the bucket for a billionaire.
Its not like you are losing money by buying the building. If it doesn't work out you can just sell it back.

I think you vastly underestimate restaurant costs. Margins are very very slim, if you vary more than 2% on inventory for example, you're most likely losing money.
I think what they are getting at is that even if the restaurant loses extravagantly, it's not anything someone with a billion dollars couldn't cut out before being anything more than a drop in the bucket. A five star restaurant might be different, but not excessively different.
You're already taking a straight six figure loss just buy buying a farm and hiring the help. Any income generated at all is green if you're already doing it for your own pleasure.
Quite a bit actually. Initial investment in kitchen equipment alone will be north of 100K. 12-20 employees and your payroll is already north of 1 million a year. Rent, utilities, food and booze you're looking at 2.5 mil total for a good sized restaurant.
That is assuming you make zero money at all with the restaurant. Considering, I'd also be hiring some of the best chefs in the world with that kind of investment. Known for the freshest ingredients. I'm fairly certain we can even out the loss to profit ratios here.
I wouldn't see making money off of the restaurant as difficult at all. It would practically be seen as a status symbol. The media alone would probably drive some other uber rich people to partake and see what all the craze is about.

A hotel restaurant will usually do fine even when managed poorly. It's part of the hotel. People are still going to eat there. And if you're hiring the best chef money can buy, they'd know how to run the kitchen properly. You can just hire someone else to manage the restaurant itself.
Run it at a loss. Think of all the tax rewards for not making a penny!

Sure, it's just not easy to blow billions of dollars quickly unless you're dedicated to actually bankrupting yourself. It generates so much in passive income that you'd have to be doing some incredibly stupid things with it in order to actually spend it all.

I agree with the billions part. I simply meant that it is quite easy to spend 30mil these days.
But, i was also under the impression that we had a single billion dollars, not multiple billions. Idk though.
Ah, I misinterpreted your question. I would probably pay people to cook/clean for me on a live-in basis (residences on the property) which would probably become the biggest long-term expense. I'd want a chef and a nutritionist to make me the healthiest delicious meals possible. Outside of that probably a large multi-million dollar estate somewhere. If you have a billion, all this would be a drop in the bucket and you'd have a solid pampered life while still earning a good amount on safe investments.
Or just build a separate small gym for yourself in the penthouse. Donโt have to worry about people damaging your equipment and you can still advertise the 24hr gym.

Ah, yes. Pulling a Bruce Wayne, as is the parlance.
This. To pay someone else to make sure my food was as good as it could possibly be. Once I started looking in to eating better, I could not believe how shitty most of our food is. The farmer's market is one of my favorite places in the world. Then when I go to a supermarket to get tomatoes, they're tasteless! I realize not everything can always be in season, but if it didn't take an irresponsible amount of energy to do it, I would gladly throw cash at my own personal farm with hothouses to grow winter tomatoes. :)
Set up a grow room in your house for growing tomatoes, but use LED lights instead of the metal halides for energy efficiency.
On a side note - A friend of mine actually wants to grow a tomato plant inside this winter, when we went to the store to get a lamp, you could tell 100% they sell equipment for primarily growing "tomatoes" - "most resin!" "High terpenols!" The posters claim, and the whole place looks like a stoners paradise.
The owner of the country club I joined did this. All meat comes from his ranches and almost all the vegetables come from his farms. The food is unbelievably good. Heโs worth 4 billion or something crazy like that.
I really don't get why organic is such a buzz word
Arrogus ยท 41 points ยท Posted at 13:32:31 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Mainly because of the Naturalistic Fallacy. Also, imagine you run a huge farming business. You face stiff competition from several other huge farm companies, and thousands of smaller farmers. The produce you grow is considered a commodity, ie. a yukon gold potato grown on one of your farms is considered to be the same as one grown on another farm. Further, much more of your product is produced every year than there is a real demand for, keeping prices and profits relatively low. How do you innovate and raise profits without investing millions into R&D? You invent luxury produce. That's what organic goods really are - luxury versions of commodities.
I think pesticides is a concern that organic produce addresses. Both conventional and organic use pesticides but the organic stuff uses organic pesticides which aren't as effective as harsh chemicals. Chemicals I suspect come with side effects, although I'm not certain.
Ultimately I trust a local farmer "doing it natural" a lot more than produce soaked in chemicals and preservatives so it can withstand being shipped thousands of miles.
It's more than just PR imo. Compare Walmart tomatoes to local farmers market tomatoes for your self and decide.
Organic farming started as a reaction to excessive and mostly unregulated use of untested chemical fertilizers and pesticides of which many have been found to be unhealthy. However, now that there is additional regulation and the "Organic" label has been co-opted by the industry, it has lost much of its meaning.
Unscientific? Probably, but so is the excessive use of untested chemicals on our food supply.
I do understand that, and trust me I know how much scientists have fucked up in the past, but I still fail to see why people can be so anti-science. Like science is the one thing in life that goes "Hey so sorry everyone, we made a mistake, and we are working to fix it."
However, just because it is scientifically possible to do a thing doesn't mean it's a wise thing to do. We may have the most effective bug spray in the world, but if all the pollinators are killed, we're fucked.
It appears to be a major contributing factor, especially neonicotinoids. Even if they were only moderate contributors, with all the other stresses, adding these creates a very dangerous prospect for global good chain collapse. I'm simply pointing out that the industrial segment of our society is notorious for putting dangerous agents out into our environment without considering the potential downsides, and even actively hiding them. It's why we have so many laws designed to reign them in. This was the motivation for the organic movement. People saw the dangers of unregulated industrialization of our society and attempted to thwart them. I think that complete elimination of all chemical processes is unreasonable and unwise. However, there still seems to be a culture of "it ain't dangerous until you prove it is beyond a reasonable doubt." This seems really short-sighted to me, especially with our history of overuse and disregard for the delicate balances in our natural environment.
But if they want to grow their own food, that means growing your own meat as well. Hence you need someone comfortable with slaughtering and dismembering animals on a regular basis. Hence the butcher.
This has always been my idea too, the only other thing I would add is an alarm clock. This alarm clock would be a massage therapist to wake me up every morning and also to give me a massage till I fall asleep every night.

Reading everyone else's practical thoughts that would lead to a healthier and prolonged life, I realize what a true POS I am.
I feel like your not going to stay a billionaire for long. Also wouldn't a good chef have at least a decent understanding of nutrition to be able to feed you healthy meals. I know it's not a requirement to make good food but I feel like there would be enough crossover especially if they went to a culinary school.

I think you're underestimating how much a billion is. Even if having a chef, a dietician, a trainer, and two gardners cost close to a million dollars a year, he'd have enough money to do that for a thousand years.
Plus, unless you are insanely short-sighted, youโd be investing that billion and living off a portion of the dividends (for perspective: a billion dollars invested to yield a 5% annual return - which is on the conservative side - would net you 50 million a year.)

And then if you're really smart, you live off of ten million or less a year, and invest the rest back into the original sum.
And then, when you're on your death bed, and all your kids and grand kids are gathered around you, you let them know that you donated all your money to a terrible charity last week.
I really enjoy cooking, and I'd have the spare time to do it, so I'd buy myself a top end dishwasher instead. Not a machine mind you, an actual person. Also a kitchen assistant to do boring stuff like peeling and chopping.
I would cook with the chef a lot. But it would be nice to be able to say "Not tonight chef, tonight I have some Netflix planned."

If you're going after the best money can buy, you're not paying for what they're worth to you, you have to pay the highest that they can otherwise be earning.
In the case of celebrity chefs like Ramsey, their contracted rate is easily $50-100k per week to shoot shows, to private service, etc. You have to match that.
I see what you're saying but imo, they're not the best chefs, they're just well publicized and well paid for all their publicity, book deals, etc.
You could probably hire someone like Massimo bottura or Shinya Fukumoto for less.

I don't need my own chef, let him cook for everyone.
I don't mind the actual cooking part. I would hire someone to do all the grocery shopping, meal planning, food prep, and clean up. Those are the boring parts. I enjoy the actual cooking.

What I couldn't understand is why he wouldn't just take $200,000 of that and pay for a live in chef for a year to make him the most amazing vegan food he could ever eat and win the bet. Still up $800,000.

The question is "waste" money on. This, my friend, is no waste of money at all! It'd be an investment. You could get really healthy / well prepared meals, at no sacrifice of your time! I'd do the exact same thing
I absolutely love to cook and would just hire a full-time live-in maid. I actually bought a groupon for maid service, but my place hasn't been clean enough yet to use it! Having someone live-in would be great. I'd even probably be a great person to work for. And I'd share the food I cooked with them
I'd just invite my mom to move in with me for this. A great professional chef would be awesome, but no food makes me consistently as happy as my mom's home-cooked meals.
See, I don't know. I fucking love cooking. I'd be able to go out and buy the most expensive food, fuck up the recipe and try again without even batting at eye. Maybe a sometimes live in Chef, but definitely not full time.

I'd hire Gordon Ramsey, with the condition he doesn't hold back.
Then I'll order things like tacos, burgers, etc, cheap food for him to make and such just to listen to him rant about it.
Then of course I'll host a dinner party where he can make anything he wants to, sans budget. Just to be nice.
Most billionaires don't hire full-time live-in chefs as that's logistically problematic for the chef. You would have to hire a couple to do shifts for just convenience sake. You would instead partner with a high end hotel chain who would take care of all the pedestrian details. Most of the time you would just be hopping from leased out floor of one high end hotel to another anyway, since you have evolved past localized considerations even if you have private residence they are mostly just soulless high end single residence hotels that you own, essentially.
Seriously. Give them a large lump sum and free room and board for a decade of service. Chef, Gardener, Maid, and Masseuse are my necessary staff when I become wealthy.

Read that as โchef monkeyโ and was pondering it.
find the little mom and pop in some strip mall or some other tiny space somewhere. every town has an old german couple or from some other country that's good at fixing shoes and tailoring. i think we have a czech and a german one just blocks from each other.
I wouldn't bother with the dry cleaners unless they have a tailor on staff and you really like them. Most dry cleaners just send off their tailor work to the old german lady that i describe below. Cut out the middleman.
the one i use is a shoe repair with a little tailor neon sign in one corner of the window. a very rough german lady helped me. i got all my pants altered for $4 each i think. obviously it'll be more for a jacket or something more complicated. plus you can get your shoes fixed while you're there.

Be wary tho. Sometimes the shoe repairer does a shoddy job and effectively ruins your shoes. If youโve paid hundreds of dollars for good hand made shoes you can send them back to the manufacturer. They will do a superior job and refinish the leather for a fraction of the price of new the shoes look like new (but maintain patina) but feel like the beautiful old pair you sent. Well worth it.

Be somewhat careful with Loake. They make some very good shoes, but their cheaper lines are not up to par. The Loake 1880 line is, generally, what I'd recommend. The wiki over at /r/goodyearwelt has some great info on where to start with high-quality footwear. You definitely don't have to go for Saint Crispins to have really well made shoes.
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.โ
They can repair and resole your favorite pair of shoes or boots that fit you perfectly, adding many years of enjoyment, for significantly less than the cost of a new pair of good shoes. They also can fix leather goods like wallets, belts, watch bands, purses, gloves, cushions for leather sofas, etc. A shoe repair place fixed the cushion for our couch when our big german shepherd jumped on it and kicked a hole in it. Replacing a nice leather couch costs $$$$s, getting the cushion repaired was like $15 bucks. He did such a good job you can't even see the "scar"
many leather shoes can have the sole replaced, since itll wear through faster than the upper given proper care. Cobblers can also stretch shoes out to a slightly larger size and repair defects and damage to many parts of the shoe. In many cases with "expensive" footwear (i.e. 200ish bucks or more) these repairs can be substantially cheaper than new shoes.

$100 pair of dress shoes can be re-healed for $15 or shined really well for $5, they'll look brand new for months. Nice leather flip-flops can be re-padded.
They also do most general leather work, such as bringing in a leather jacket.
Cobblers were more prevalent when most shoes were made of leather, wood and nails (pre-WWII). Buying shoes like THAT today would cost at least $200. With leather that can last decades, these are the kind of shoes which ought to and can be repaired on a timely basis.
By now you must have seen the Boots theory of socio-economic unfairness on Reddit. A nice pair of boots or shoes can be repaired, resoled and maintained for years for less than the price of replacing them with several pairs of cheap shoes.

For example- I work in construction management. I spend 300+ on good quality work boots. I need new soles once every 12-24 months. I can usually get new soles put on for $40 and any torn stitching repaired. Makes those boots last a Looooooong time.
I have a pair from about 2007 in regular rotation.
If you buy fancy shoes, you can get the heels or soles replaced when they wear down. It's not really worth it for a pair of cheap casual shoes, and for some lower quality shoes, it's not even possible.
I have a wonky ankle, so I take my shoes to a shoe guy that glues an extra piece of rubber or leather to the bottom of my shoes so they wear more evenly. And my sister has a pair of boots thast she found in our grandmother's attic when I was little. She's had them resoled 4 times in the last 20 years but they're still great boots.

Then you can definitely look in the next neighbourhood for another little old lady. I tried out three before sticking with the last one, and she was located in some sketch basement of a commercial building.
I could always get my alterations done for $15-$20 per item. Buy a few nice nice items get them slightly too large, have them tailored. They'd fit really well. You just need to call around asking about the price for alterations.
The definition of โa coupleโ varies by person.

Take a 2 week holiday to Thailand. At the beginning get measured for a bunch of tailoring, then go to the beach, then come back and pick it all up on the way home.
Thereโs a place in my city that does each one for 10, and shirts for 5-15 depending on complexity. Just look for a mom/pop shop. They one I go to is run by a nice old Asian couple that doesnโt need the money, since they made a killing back in the day, but need something to do now that their kids are all grown up. Super sweet people.
Find an Asian who does it as a home business. Here in Australia I have someone who does hems for $4.

People don't seem to get that alterations and stuff are not the same as tailor-made for your body. Making a piece of clothing fit you better isn't the same as having a piece of clothing literally made for your body.
Yeah I believe it's otherwise known as 'bespoke made' when you have clothing made to your custom measurements.

I must have misread, because I've always understood the word tailored to mean taking to a tailor and altered. Bespoke in my mind is completely different thing. Although, I'm happy to adjust my definitions if that's not right.
Your definitions are fine of course, we're just on different pages I believe haha.
In your response to OP, I believe you assumed custom tailored meant just as you described.
In my and the person I responded to's response, we assumed OP meant bespoke when he said custom tailored.
Tailoring can be done for relatively cheap just as you said, whereas having bespoke made clothes is something you'd possibly do when you just became a billionaire haha.
Neither of us said anything incorrectly, we just responded from different perspectives. Hope that clarifies things.

I want my tshirts and jeans to be tailored to fit me.
I'd do exactly this. I have shorts and shirts that I only wear to "go fishing" (my friend fishes, I explore the creek and talk with him). I recently threw away the most ratty looking looking of my fishing clothes because I looked homeless when wearing them. My "new" fishing clothes are mostly old things that don't fit too well. If I could afford to be extravagant, I'd have them tailored to fit and look better.
Not custom tailored. Bespoke. Imagine t-shirts fit to your exact specifications and preferences. Jeans without logos or designs that you don't want that fit exactly how you'd like. That's the dream.
Yeah, terminology confusion. I can hem my own trousers now. If Iโm a billionaire, I want bespoke cashmere suits that fit my boobs, and my entire wardrobe tailored to that level
I worked at a laundromat and our tailor charged 12 bucks to tailor your pants or shorts. This was last month in San Francisco CA so very recent.Game changer for me, everything I own is now tailored and I get regarded compliments on pretty much everything.
Tl;DR call your local full service laundromat, it's probably cheaper then you think.
Five sided handkerchieves with lightly weighted edges at the appropriate scale to your hand so you can draw them out with a twist and they "blossom" to cover your hand when you need to catch a sneeze or blow your nose.
Grandpa joke: โWhat does the rich man keep that the poor man throws away?โ
(Mimes pulling out a handkerchief, blowing nose and re-pocketing it. Then turns, holds one nostril closed with his thumb and blows a snot wad out onto the ground.)
Haha, what a world!. All my childhood and college days I wore custom fitted shirts and pants, stitching is cheap in India. It was like Rs. 100 ($2) and around Rs. 60 for a shirt.๐

As an extremely tall and skinny person who has to settle for clothes that are too baggy or too short I second this. Itโs so hard to find clothes that fit me.
Am female. Sometimes I need to wear suits - trouser suits, skirt suits, suit jackets and a matching dress. Sometimes I like to wear pretty dresses that fit me and have pockets. Suit manufacturers have a particular problem fitting boobs tho

I get all of my jeans and shirts made custom now and for not crazy prices (relative to where I am). Even though itโs not as cheap as an off-the-shelf item, itโs worth it and youโll never go back. Try it.
I get my pants hemmed to the right length for about 12 bucks. It is the best feeling thing when is that my pants look like they fit right and aren't dragging behind me. It's a huge confidence boost to look good.
As someone who is exactly between small and medium this is my dream. Nothing fits me

I've had a tshirt tailored for me before. My parents are pretty wealthy and took me shopping for Christmas one year and my mother insisted I "just get the sleeves and side brought in a bit" by the in house tailor they had.

According to the logic of this thread, I now have my own saville row tailor on permanent retainer. I can both have new bespoke tailored clothes and alterations made to my existing wardrobe.

I don't see how. Regardless of OP's premise that you would just magically attain billionaire status, there'd probably be some paper trail of your new assets in some public record for them to piece it together. Hiding it even with some master-level tax-evasion style illegal shenanigans would probably be impossible. Although, you may try the dictator and corrupt politician way of having assets linked to unquestioningly loyal minions so as to make yourself appear wealth-adjacent rather than wealthy in your own right. That could fool them for a while, but these things have a way of coming out anyway.
Nah you can actually hide all that money pretty easily through trusts. Thats how some crazy wealthy families stay off those lists as the money isn't "technically" theirs, its owned by the family trust and the purpose of that trust is generally to provide for the health, care, maintenance, home expenses, and enjoyment of the trusts beneficiaries and they can request money whenever they want it. The trustees of these trusts, typically mega large trust corporations or investment firms, are responsible for investing all of the trust money so that it makes more money and distributing it to the trustees whenever they ask for it really.
p_turbo ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:15:18 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I take your point and I thought about that too. Wouldn't the trusts still be identifiable as being linked to you and yours though? They are pretty opaque but still... And once that happens, determining who calls the shots or, at the very least, is the main beneficiary wouldn't be too difficult, would it? Also, past the $100 mil mark it may be more sensible to have a private trust as opposed to like for instance a bank run trust. Those private family trusts are often acknowledged and the patriarch/matriarch/head-of-the-family identified as being that or 'notable people' anyway.
Trustsee's aren't obligated to report the money in the trust to anyone. The trustee pays taxes on what the trust earns via different investments but this doesn't need to be disclosed to anyone either. This is one reason why lots of professional athletes and wealthy people like trusts so much, because when your estate goes into probate anything that went through probate can be seen through public record. If you keep assets out of probate through a trust no one sees it. You can "follow money" to an extent but the amount of money owned by the trust will only be speculation unless you're a beneficiary and can demand an accounting by the trustee. Additionally the trustee is under no obligation to report who the beneficiaries of a trust are except for some gift tax purposes but that information is held by the service and not public knowledge.
p_turbo ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:30:04 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No because it's technically a gift since you're not performing any work in exchange for the money. For gift tax purposes only the person giving stuff has to worry about tax consequences (I.e. You can only make tax free gifts of 14,000 to a single person a year)

Then walk back in 10 minutes later to the same spot. Everyone who saw what happened will be astonished. Just tell them it was a big misunderstanding or something.

And the helicopter doesn't land, it just lowers a ladder and you step on, flying through the sky like the hero in movies. I feel like you need a love interest with you...
I friend of mine once said that if he won a lot of money, he'd throw a big party, and in the middle of it, he'd have some tough-looking men in suits come crashing through the door, run up to him, shouting "They found you, we gotta go now, now, go go go". So they rush him out the door, surrounding him like bodyguards, and while everybody is standing there going WTF???, you get the sound of a helicopter above and soldiers in full combat gear rapelling down, breaking the windows and entering ....
Better yet: leave with the "agents" and never show up again. Every single employee will try to figure out what happened for the rest of their lives.

My parents have this and it's the most beautiful thing, especially when you're sick of the cold (Wisconsin, USA). A shower with multiple heads, a bench, all stone, I have no idea what kind, and it doubles as a steam room. It's magnificent.
If you do some research and are willing to out in the effort yourself, those are very plausible things to have. Couple 2x4s and mortar and tile could be less than $80 to make a seat in the shower. Heated floors are like $200-$400 for a normal bathroom if you do it yourself when you re-tile. Just saying YouTube everything and plan it out and live your dream shower and feel awesome with yourself for building something so cool! (Planning my dream bathroom now...)

Price can go up pretty quick. Wiring up the heated floors, durock, waterproofing, renting/buying saws, broken tiles, plumbing, grout, new cabinets/vanity to go with new tile, shower doors, shower pan, etc. Bathrooms are one of the more expensive rooms to renovate. Not trying to discourage you but make sure you count the cost.

I like the sauna benches but I'd want to have a small Jacuzzi style tub in the middle, like steps up to the lip of the bath, and I'd have no need for heated floors, if you have hot enough water and one of those roof showerhead things, they warm up fast enough for me. I wouldn't want a tv but music definitely. The real fun for me though, is I'd want a Narnia door for it that looked like a linen cabinet, so all this luxury would be a big surprise in a tiny package.
This was my childhood dream. It's weird because I take fast showers now, but growing up my showers were disturbing-to-my-parents long. I wasn't even jerking it. I just loved hanging out in steamy rooms. I'd lie on the floor and let the water wash over me, play with action figures in there.
My fantasy was to have a waterproof TV, computer and microwave so I could just live in there.
That sounds glorious. I especially like the seats and tv/music. I get excited when I rent a hotel room with a seat in the shower but it's always too far back to sit in it and have the water hit you so that you aren't cold. I just want to get it right

Holy shit I think you are me, my perfect shower would also have a complete segment like a long strip where you can stand/lay under falling hot water, it'll drip those thicc nice drops but be adjustable to a stronger jet if needed, also stone seats obviously, only the biggest luxury. I already play with a waterproof phone in the bath but steam and touchscreens don't play very well, I think you'd need some voice commands in your shower electronics.

You make me feel like a barbarian. I just put my old TV on a folding chair, a towel under the door to trap more heat and then use my phone (waterproof) to control the ChromeCast from the tub.
When I was a kid I spent a long time designing my perfect shower. I wanted the entire ceiling to be a massive shower head except one spot where I can shampoo up comfortably and a comfortable bench or chair of some kind. And a waterproof touch screen I can use to document my shower thoughts
A super luxury shower/tub room is one of my demands. I want a nice big waterfall/rain shower and a nice oversized soaker tub. I have been looking at stuff like that on Pinterest there is a jungle resort hotel in Belize that has stone showers opening up into the jungle. Wannnt
I lived in a house like this, the people had the room converted for their father in a wheel chair, so it was a room ~ California king sized+ of just tiled shower so they would walk him around on his wheel chair. It was so nice just being able to lay spread eagled on the floor while 3 shower heads on top let loose the rain.
Good choice, we just built a house and we have a huge shower in it (8.5'x4.5') with several showerheads. If we had it to do over I would add at least one more shower head if not two. Very relaxing. When the guy came in to install the marble walls and floor he named it for us--The Party Shower!

With sensors so the water follows you around like a rain cloud while you walk, and waterproof electronics everywhere, and a staff member that waits for you with a warm towel.
Omg I have dreamed about something like that since I was a child. My idea was to have a big room, that would "shower" you anywhere you were standing. Like it would make an area around you where water would fall, with sensors and stuff
We had an okd house growing up with a basement like that, the basement had 2 levels, a drive in port for trucks to back in and unload (coal and wood) and an upper level that was for storage, well a previous owner installed a shower on the upper level with a drain that fed into the storm drains.
Wide open showers are amazing, plus you can slide around like a penguin! We had to be careful though, we installed a wood stove and had to be careful not to slide into it.

Those are hills. There appears to be Mugu peak which I could see it being less than 5 minutes. But it would be a lot of basically hairpin turns so you end up fairly close to the coast. It would be a lot more fun to have a clear tube and run out over a few miles of the hills from a mountain top further inland.
If you thought those scary drop watersides were bad for getting your swimtrunks waterjetted into your anus, just wait till you try that but for like 10 miles.
Man, can you imagine going 100+ MPH down a slide? Even if water flow was enough to handle the horrible side effects of friction, hitting the ocean at that speed and encountering waves would be with fatal or insanely epic.
Something you might like: The original part of the Schlitterbahn water park in New Braunfels (sp), Texas has a combination water slide/lazy river (basically a lazy river with waterfalls) that goes from the top of the park down to the New Braunfels River several hundred feet below. It takes anywhere from 5-10 minutes to do the whole thing.
At the speeds you'd be reaching by going that far of a distance, you'd invariably have to make some stretches of the slide completely parallel to the ground to make sure the slider didn't go too fast. Cool concept in theory though
Do... do you not fold your tp multiple times before wiping? You just pull off a one or two ply square, think โwelp, this is my life now, nothing I can do!โ And continue with your day?

NINE GOLD?! I don't even have one gold. I want to make it 10 Gold, but I'm kind of bitter about not having even one. Does anyone ever buy themselves gold? Would you even know who did it? What if he bought himself gold. Maybe I should invest in gold ...

As someone with stupidly fast internet (lucky to live somewhere Google Fiber is offered with 1G up/down), there are diminishing returns on speed after a certain point. The bottleneck for your use just moves from your shitty 10mb modem to whatever server you are accessing for content. Even Steam maxes out downloads at about 300mbps most of the time it seems.

My ISP claims they are giving my a 75mbps connection but really give me less than 50mbps. I'm also paying more than you for your connection. I'd consider myself lucky for 300mbps downloads anywhere.
I have Google Fiber 1G up/down and I can verify this. I don't see much difference day to day from 100Mbit. Ten years ago it would have been different, but now web pages are dynamically generated with bulky js libraries and slow as dogshit most of the time.
What's really weird is said this exact thing last night talking to a friend when talking about these people that go off the grid and live in vans. I was like yeah i'd want to go off the grid, but like the guy from Ex-Machina.

Reminds me of an ask Reddit about what people have seen the wealthy drop a ridiculous amount of money on. Some guy wanted internet for his house up in the woods in the middle of nowhere. It cost him millions of dollars, but also enabled the nearby town to have decent internet for the first time ever.

Hell yea. I'd miss having easy access to grocery and convenience stores though so.. maybe I'd just open my own small store that has everything I like that only I can shop in. Pay just a couple people a good salary to work there and do practically nothing. And it plays the music I fucking like instead of that horrible garbage all stores blast like it's a damn club. I never shop without headphones. and pay some beautiful actresses to pose as customers so it doesn't feel like a wasteland.
Well, when you get security on the perimeter, they're the ones that's gonna bother you. I'd invest in a small brainwashed fanatically loyal private army, if you really want 'security'. I'll trust a private security firm to watch my business assets, but my private residence? No way.

1000 acres really isn't that much. I'd aim for at least 100,000 or maybe even a million. Then I'd find a way to make a legally binding deal with the local government to protect the land, and a well staffed non profit to care take it and other natural lands.

You don't need to be a billionaire for this. A large tract of land in Northern Ontario would be perfect. Hell just go near Ottawa and there's lots. You don't need to be too far away from major cities to get this. You could probably run fiber to your house if you wanted to.
Security system is only a few thousands and you'll have a constant perimeter monitoring if you do it yourself. The expensive part is if you want a fence. Lining a ring of sensors through the forest is easy though.
Hell design yourself a modern minimalist house and just contract it yourself. The whole thing would only be 1-2 million.

My answer was pretty similar, in that it starts with a huge chunk of land. But I would then turn it into the most amazing paint-ball/survival game arena the world has ever known. Trenches, bunkers, towers, walls, structures and features. ZIP LINES. Urban and wilderness and mixed areas. I'd hire like, famous video game level designers, and maybe find out if there is such a thing as famous paintball arena designers to come up with map ideas. It'd have some ability to set boarders so you can have small arena skirmishes, or use the entire region for games that are half orienteering to find the opponent's flag. Major camera coverage for judgment calls and replays.
Oo, and there could be more. Some nice plain old hiking trails sure, and water features for swimming or boating or whatever, but I could add obstacle courses designed for free-running/parkour and then hire somebody to teach me to parkour! PARKOUR PAINTBALL.
Oh and a miniature golf course tucked into one corner.

Denmark is pretty hilly, but all the hills are rubbish.
When I worked as a train assistant in Norway I had the absolute delight of being in the carriage as a Danish couple started their journey from Bergen to Oslo. They seemed like a very happy couple, like in their 40s, maybe 50s, as they sat down and looked at the mountain they were silent for a bit then the wife turned to the man and went "Jan, you still think you can just build a fucking mountain on our farm?"
Silence
"...Reckon I need a bigger truck than I thought"
I couldn't keep a straight face for the life of me.
I guess that makes sense, but unfortunately there aren't any mile high buildings yet, as the last few to try to reach that height came short, whereas there are a lot of buildings and mountains in the kilometer range, no?
Hmm, I guess that's true, but that seems to be more for showing how large it is by using smaller measurements so the number is larger, but in any case I guess it's true.
There is this book called Mt. Copenhagen about a fictional mountain that is built outside of Copenhagen. I read it in school, it's really bizarre and funny. 10/10 would recommend.

My grandparents lived in the middle of the mountains. The road from the valley to their house was winding along the mountain, curve after curve with often a steep incline on one side of the road and a steep decline on the other.
One time, while driving home they came upon a car that was just creeping along. With a moderate jog anyone could have kept pace with that car. My granddad flashed his headlights at them and they stopped. He asked if they needed help and it turned out that they were a couple from the Netherlands on the way to their very first skiing trip in the mountains. They were very afraid of driving on this road, understandably since it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. My grandfather ended up driving them in their car all the way up to their hotel with my grandmother following behind. I wonder how that couple ever got down that mountain again because in my opinion driving down a mountain road is even scarier than driving one up.

Yeah, when they speak slowly, right to your face and using hand gestures its doable. Which is why over hearing a conversation in Danish is such an amazing feat.

As a Dane living in the Netherlands, I can confirm they are much flatter than Denmark. The Netherlands only have their dunes and a few big hills waaaay down south. Denmark actually has big hills pretty much all throughout. And we aren't freakishly below sea level like so much of NL.

Our most southern province lies right on the edge of a mountain range, so we're not completely flat. Remove that province and we are indeed flatter than even Denmark.
To be honest, pretty much all of our hills are on an appendix way down south. It's like we just added a bit to our country so that we could have those few hills.
They're not rubbish! They're first class hills, really excellent quality, built with the finest rocks and dirt to last for millenia. It's just that we happen to prefer quality over quantity, you pleb ....

"The sky mountain"/Himmelbjerget is not even close to Denmarks highest point though. It's 147 meters, and there a many places that have higher points than that. If you check out the top 5 highest points of Denmark you'll see that the highest natural one is the unknown Mรธllehรธj with 170.86 meters in height. Some are a few meters higher, but that is because of manmade structures, most oftenly bronze-age tumuli.
That's really interesting. I've always just heard repeated that Himmelbjerget and Ajer Bavnehรธj were the two highest, depending on whether you counted buildings or not. Clearly I didn't do a good enough job at being critical about information passed on to me.
Thanks for taking the time to educate me. Greatly appreciated :)
Lived in one been to both. Netherlands is so flat most people bike most places on these easy riding bicycles. You know youโll never ever have to worry about an incline.
Essex county, Pelee area and the like ARE very very flat, but I have no anecdote to describe that.
The name Netherlands actually refers to our geography. Nether meaning lower. People also say that Holland comes from the word hollow, but apparently that's kind of an urban legend.
If you fancy a trek up Denmark's tallest "mountain" you can very literally ride a bike most of the way, park it and take the stairs the rest of the way
LOOK he only admitted to dismembering not killing. Besides, crooked hillary and her submarine dealings are the real Danish collusion. Sink HER DOWN. Sink Her Down!
We know that he took her out to sea. We know that he chopped her up and dumped her body. (he admitted that). We know he had snuff movies and had those interests from his computer. We know the body had been repeatedly stabbed in the lower abdomen.
So yes, as a casual observer, he is guilty as fuck and is in all likelyhood a very sick fuck. There have been some speculation that he have done this before but that is yet to be any clear signs to that.

Well, shit.
Her mutilated torso was found by a passing cyclist on 21 August. Her head, legs and clothing were found in weighted-down bags by police divers on 6 October.
That's about 8.5 million cubic metres of stuff to make that hill (assumption is a cone with circular base, diameter 400 metres and height 200 metres). Your average dump truck holds 20 cubic metres, and giant quarry trucks can hold about 150.
The hill, assuming a mixture of rock and soil would weigh over 20 million tonnes, so sturdy ground would be needed to stop it sinking.
Looking at the prices online for 'landscaping rocks' and assuming a generous discount for ordering quite so much, at 100 giant truckloads a day you could probably have a work crew build your hill in a couple of years.
Progress would appear to be fast at first, but by the second year, progress wouldn't look like anything was happening from day to day, despite huge amounts of rock being dumped on the hill.
(They had this problem in the film The Englishman That Went Up A Hill, But Came Down A Mountain. Villagers discover that their 'mountain' falls short of the official definition by a few feet, so they set out to rectify it. Or perhaps do something terrible to the meddling Englishman who brings 'definitions' to provincial Wales.)
Doesn't that assume that he is building at sea-level though? I mean, If he starts at ~100-150 then the load is much less.

I believe thereโs a distinction between how high something is (from sea level) and how tall it is (from its base). OP said tallness so it doesnโt matter what level
But then OP is wrong, because the highest point in Denmark is 171 meters. So, as long as OPs hill is more than 171m high, he will have the title, regardless of how "tall" his mountain may be.
CashCop ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 14:13:36 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Fair enough, most people donโt really know about the distinction anyways
True. The surrounding topology would have a large impact on how much extra was needed. On a flat plane at 100m, he would only need 1/8th of the original volume. To build over a similarly conical hill of 100m height, he would still need 7/8ths(!)
That was my assumption for the sake of simplicity, yes, although to be fair, the angle doesn't matter as long as small and big cones have the same relative shape as each other. Scale a three-dimensional object by a factor of two in all three dimensions and the volume goes up by a factor of eight. 23=8
I don't feel like I see you taking into account the super secret lair that would obviously be built into the base of said hill. Surely that displaces the need for a significant amount of fill?
M35Dude ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 10:49:58 on November 5, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Super late to the game, but....
1) Depending on the soil composition, couldn't you add a lot of water, and transport it via pipeline? Not that that would be cheaper. But I expect it would be significantly faster.
2) I would expect the work to initially appear slow, and slowly speed up, as the lower parts of the cone have such a large area, you wouldn't appear to be gaining hardly any height (initially)?
1) Might work. There's drainage to consider as well as building the pipeline in the first place.
2) You're considering a bottom-up approach whereas I was considering a 'conical pile of increasing size' approach. There may be a middle-ground way of achieving constant height progress, but my imagination is shot today.
So many wrong things in your assumptions.
The volume of earthworks depends on the elevation of the site.
If the site is already at 100m then it will be a lot less than that. And using rocks for it won't make it more stable. It's the compaction of the material and the batter slope gradient that will affect it. 1 in 3 slopes could be stable enough. 1 in 2 or 45 degrees slope(your assumptions) won't work.
You don't need to be a billionaire for that. There's EU fund money for equality because you're not having mountains they'll give you money to build one. (At least that's what they did for the ski slope on your hill)
No mountains in Denmark please. When the polar caps melt, our plan is to detach from Germany and float around Waterworld doing all kinds of cool shit. Mountains are way too heavy so they'd mess that plan up.

The tallest hill in Berlin is 120 metres above sea level and it's just a big pile of discarded rubble from WW2. You could definitely live that dream if you throw enough money at it.
If you really wanted to go crazy, you could get concrete shipped in and give them an honest to god mountain made of rock!
Since you'd be building it from the ground up, you could even have a cave system put in. Imagine that as an amusement park! Skiing on the outside (and inside during the summer), cave diving where certain routes lead to low-key classy restaurants (accessible without the cave for workers/logistics, but you HAVE to use the caves as a customer), rock/cliff climbing up certain routes, hang gliding, etc.
Jutland is just the peninsula That would be like substituting United States with Florida.
Calling the whole Kingdom of Denmark by just "Denmark" is a colloquialism. Denmark is the actually name for KOD minus FI and Greenland.
That's all geography, though. No one really gives a toss. It's all called Denmark and whether Greenland is included in that term depends entirely on if we want to show off how small or how big we are.

Itโs so funny you say that. Iโve been driving across the US looking for a nice town to live in. From NY to FL to CA to WA and back again.
Every place that was flat - was a BIG NO. Iโm born in the mountains by the sea. Anything different feels off - wrong - uncentered.
My theory is that somehow - gravity - affects me. The feeling of being home. Mountains and the sea have a huge mass - hence huge gravitational pulls.
G=[(mass1)(mass2)] / R2
Donโt know if you care. But [(my mass)(mass of mountain and sea)] divided by the distance between us squared.
The further I move away from them - the less gravity I have toward them by a factor of 2 for every meter I move away. But - no matter the distance - there is always a small attraction to them - as well as everything else - including you.
Definitely no science behind it. The whole Earth is attracting you no matter where you are, and your actual gravitational pull is less when you're in the mountains than when at lower elevation, but the difference is extremely small..
You just start a landfill. You would not only get your hill taller and faster but also you'd get paid to do it.

Tallest point in The Bahamas is 206 feet. (63 meters) You could make a hill thatโs less than half your goal - saving you tons of money (and dirt probably) not that it matters youโre a billionaire. You can then easily the rest of the money allotted for this project to make a dope ass bungalow and be the highest man in The Bahamas with an incredible view. Probably much better than Denmark.
You may even be able to make money out of building it, too. Large civil engineering projects that move a lot of earth often pay landowners by the dump truck to take the spoils from them.
Funnily enough, I found this out from an English Earl. He was getting ยฃ200 a truck of rubble and spoil from the HS2 rail link project, that he was going to use to build a bank to block his view of the motorway that ran through his land.
Just take 100m off the top of the hill thatโs there and use that material to make a 100m Hill. The first hill is now 71m, and you still win! Save youโre monies - whatโre you a billionaire!?
If you are worried about cost, you are not ready to be a hill-owner.

Then you could post climbing logs of your conquest of this soaring glaciated peak, much like this one of the very flat American state Delaware. Although that one is a natural hill, your ersatz Everest would be something altogether new and different.
And if you had a hard time getting your hill above 171 meters, you could just pay someone to knock some off of the current tallest point, bringing your man made hill to fill glory.

Code scan is usually free at most places, it gives you a range of codes that could be causing the problem. If you want to really figure out what's causing the light to come on, then you want to do an engine diagnostic, which is roughly $100 (depending where you go). The engine diagnostic will give you a more specific result, as opposed to a code scan

What do they do differently in a "diagnostic" compared to the code check? Just spend the time actually examining the engine to see what are the common causes of that CEL code? Because depending on the code I imagine they could be spending a lot more time than $100 worth of laboring finding the cause.

That's the risk they take. Maybe the code tells them all they need to know, and they get done in 5 minutes. Maybe they spend 5 hours figuring out what's wrong, but the customer has them do the repairs for $1500 and they make up most of the money lost that way.

Paid $100 to figure out what exactly was causing my wife's old Scion check engine light to come on/stay on. Turns out it was something emissions related, which we don't have to worry about in our state and it would have been an extra $600 to repair it. We decided to gamble and just kept up regular maintenance for a few years until we sold it.
I wouldn't try that with most other vehicles. That thing was built to last.
I bought an OBD2 reader for $100 and it tells me a lot like RPM the light was triggered at, engine oil temp ect. I've only needed it 4 times since buying a brand new car but it's paid itself off many times over.
Itโs worth noting that the $100 he was quoted was likely for an engine diagnostic rather than just a code scan. Most garages generally like to know exactly whatโs wrong with the car before doing a repair. A code scan just gives you a broad idea.
For instance, the code readout will say something like โO2 out of range. โ
That could mean :
Your O2 sensor is bad
Your catalytic converter is bad
Your engine is running too rich
Your engine is running to lean
Ect.
Source : worked as a mechanic for 7 years and managed a shop for 3
That makes more sense, I was thinking just for the code reading alone was outrageous for the price. Thanks for the insight

Thankfully, I found an easy bench test involving my DMM and a propane torch for testing the constantly shite O2 sensors in my '97 LHS.
Mind if I briefly pick your brain on another vehicle? '02 Ranger, 4.0L, threw a Engine Lean code the last two times I filled up this fall. First fillup was about half empty, second fillup was from E. My roommate works for Advance Auto and said this happens to a lot of people this time of year because of winter additives in the gas.
First time I ran into these. No other codes, nothing pending. Advance, roommate's personal good scanner, and my OBDII bluetooth plug-in all agree on just the two lean codes. If this was your personal vehicle, what would you probably do? I do have access to other vehicles if something does go minorly wrong.
Unfortunately I donโt have an answer on that one for you. I havenโt worked in the auto industry for 5 years so a lot of my knowledge has gone away

I don't know what is available for Ios but torque for android is awesome. The free version will do everything you need but it is well worth the $6 or whatever they charge now. It is still updated pretty frequently.
Same thing with me. Went to Ford, they said $116 for "diagnostics". Told them no. Went to Autozone, they pulled it for me, said it was a dealer code but to Google it and it will show up. Did that, found the issue, called the dealer, $65 for the part, $110 to install. Laughed, hung up, bought the part from the dealer, took 5 minutes out of my day to install it.
I don't understand why people take their car to the dealer for repairs if it's not under warranty. My A/C fan motor went out and they wanted $200 to replace it. I bought a new fan motor for $45 and pulled out the 4 screws that hold it in, put the new motor in and put the 4 screws back in. Less than 5 minutes and they were going to charge me $150 for labor.

My Subaru dealership wanted $200-250 to replace one of my belts that was squealing. It was one of the easiest belt changes I've ever done, took like ten minutes including the YouTube video, and $10 or so for the part. I originally brought it there so they could cut and program some keys which they ended up declining to do despite my insistence.

I used to work with a lot of dealers (ferrari, lambo, bentley, etc) and subaru was always the coolest. They charge that much because theres always a set price per hour for everything. It might take a mechanic 10 minutes to do something but you'll still get charged the hourly price.

Got it, donโt buy a Subaru. Thanks for the life lesson I wonโt have to learn.
I thought that the issue was covered by an extended powertrain warranty on it (which I was informed it was prior until I showed up and they said it wasn't). So it was not worth the hassle of them trying to tell me that pulling the codes would need to be under "advanced diagnostics".
It's a commodity. Would you rather spend a full day learning how to take apart, replace, and reassemble it. Or would you rather pay for someone else to do it.
I used to do oil changes myself but my newest car runs full synthetic and the service costs like $5 less than the oil itself. So I also save on the filter and time.
I don't think commodity was the word you were looking for.
I don't expect people to work on their own cars, though they should for things like my example where a youtube video and 5 minutes of your time will save you $150.
You can find a good local mechanic who can do everything needed at a fraction of the cost of the dealer though.
I know how to change my own oil, but I just go to a lube shop and have it done for convenience. An oil change takes more time and makes me get dirty on the ground. When its 4 screws to pull a plastic part and save $150 I do it myself.
โHey man. I see your check engine light is on. We can check it and fix it for $400.โ Said to my then 18 year old self when I get my oil changed. Had to tell him I already knew what the was and couldnโt afford to fix it yet.
Jesus that's robbery. Even at the dealer it would be cheaper than that and they would put the money towards the repair.
Sometimes the dealer does it free if you're nice and they think you'll give them work.

Adding onto this
Jump on amazon, search for OBDII scanner, buy a 10-15 dollar bluetooth adapter, and leave it installed in your car. The location of the port is typicallyyyyy on the underside of the steering wheel column.
Download Torque on the google play store (sorry, I don't know what the equivalent is for iOS). Sync it to your bluetooth adapter and boom, you can now read your own check engine light codes on the fly; plus a bunch more things you can monitor with your car's performance.
I've gotten a check engine light while driving, checked the code, realized it was just bad spark plugs that need to be changed, and cleared all the codes. It's actually a pretty handy tool for 10 bucks and a free app. Not having to drive to an auto parts store to figure out what's wrong is so convenient.

I've never had a problem with mine. I'm unsure of it's accuracy when it comes to things like water temperature or oil temperature, but the device basically pulls it straight from the ECU, so I don't see a way it can be inaccurate seeing as it just pulls and displays data being collected by your car's computer.
I work on my own car, so it's definitely super convenient. Even if you don't work on your own car, you can at least diagnose it without taking it into the shop or a store so you can be more informed on how important/big of a job this will be before getting it repaired.

Its very accurate. It gets the info from the cars ECU. Things that change quickly like turbo PSI can be a half second or so behind but if you need quicker accuracy you should be using something else.
I donโt own one myself i've had one in my amazon buy list for a long time though! My buddy who spends more time fixing his car than driving it recommendeds them.
No not enough to where I'd say it's consistently correct, but enough to where it's helpful and the money is worth it.
The main problem tends to be that one issue can cause another to seem like it's failing when it's not. Certain models of cars are well known for stuff like that. Typically though, when you search the internet for the problems you'll be able to find out which are false positives of you search based on your manufacturer and model

It's as accurate as your sensors and reports what the computer thinks is wrong. It won't 100% tell you your problem, but with a bit of google you should get pointed to the correct general area for most common issues.
I've used one and a different app called OBD Fusion which lets users log sensor data like temperature, rpm, fuel economy, etc which is really nice for harder to diagnose issues.

A lot of newer cars will display codes if you run through the onboard diagnostics. Then you're just a Google search away from learning what that code means.
Even my 03 vette has it. Got a lean bank code, read through a forum, cleaned my MAF sensor and cleared the code to see if it came back. Fixed.
My 2001 Cadillac Eldorado has on board diagnostics.
Some push button voodoo on the temperature controls and would do complete engine and accessory diagnostics. It would scroll through each one and if popped a code, you'd write it down. At the very end, if you had a check engine light, it gave you the option to clear it. It was great when trying to troubleshoot engine/transmission issues.
IF you car is OBD2. With some exceptions like some european cars (BMW I think is a bit different in some cases), all post-1996 cars should use the standard OBD2 port.

You'll find Hawaii and Alaska get excluded from pretty much every special offer, even when there's no obvious reason why. In part I can't help wondering if it's just copy/paste on standard terms and conditions, rather than because there's a good reason.
Living in Hawaii I can say it's no real reason. If you try to order from Amazon you'll find 25% of stuff won't ship here. These are not heavy or bulky items. My guess would be the companies that sell them don't know we're a state. Hell there lots of Americans who think you need a passport to visit.

What possible reason do they have for not doing that for free? Is it some sort of law? The whole purpose of it is that you're hopefully going to buy the part from them plus some other stuff while you're there.
Yeah unfortunately its a law in hawaii. I dont know the exact words, but basically codes have to be read in a shop by the mechanics. Iirc, you cant even buy one in hawaii as a regular dude. However, if you ordered one off the internet...
Just go to advance auto parts. They're both supposed to do it for you. Sounds like your autozone has that notoriously bad customer service like the ones here in GA.

I've left mine in for 5 years probably and I've never had battery issues. Super slow battery usage.
Was going to say this. I bought my own off amazon for $30. Tells you the engine code, then you just google what the code means. 75% of the time it's something you can just fix yourself.
You can get bluetooth ones for like $10 that will read codes, and the torque app will do pretty in depth lookups and explanations of what the codes mean. Way better than the $50+ readers that just give you the code and you gotta hope that you can find the information somewhere.
Ya a couple people have mentioned the Bluetooth and torque app. Definitely going to pick it up I think. Although I've never had any troubles looking up what codes mean. I guess it depends.
Same. I had a cylinder missfiring. All I needed was plugs and wires. The code said I needed a downstream O2 sensor, which wouldnโt have made any difference.
Whenever there is something wrong with an automobile, especially an older one, it's usually a few things at once causing the problem. Diagnosing auto issues is extremely hit or miss because of how many moving parts there are on a car, and unfortunately its usually looked at as incompetence/lying to sell parts.
That's the thing, it's generally not very hit or miss if you have the training, tools, and experience. There is a proper diagnostic path to be followed in most cases, which will lead to the correct repair.
Parts store employees rarely have any of this. So they scan the code, and look it up. They will then usually recommended replacing the part* the code is set for. But the code does not always mean "this part is bad".
To use a medical analogy, that's like the doctor saying "because you have a runny nose, it's a nose issue. You need a nose job.". In reality, it's because you have a sinus infection, which needs to be treated.
If you have some spare cash to spend in an effort to avoid repair shop charges, you can throw some parts at the wall and see what sticks. But there is no replacement for knowledge and experience.
Well put. I used work at an Infiniti dealer, a common issue on the G35 is a code for the absolute manifold pressure sensor. You would think the sensor would need to be replaced but there is an ECM update that corrects this code 9 Times out of 10. Same thing when I worked at Hyundai years ago. There was an O2 sensor fault on the Elantras that was corrected with a software update.
Yes because cars are never misdiagnosed by even master technicians. You're right.

You should write down the code they pull from your car and google it yourself. Maybe try calling around to see what other people think. Typically codes give a pretty clear indication of what's wrong or it'll narrow it down to 2-3 things that could be bad.
Yea, they were stupid. It will throw a code that it is not seeing the sensor, but it could be the sensor, the wiring, sensor gremlin, it just gives you an area to start looking.
From what I've heard, it's because of a class action law suit where mechanics didn't like Auto Zone taking away potential business. So you can only go to a shop where they will charge you for reading your engine code. Sucks.
It might be more nuanced than how I'm explaining it though.

There are also $12 bluetooth thingies that plug right into the OBDII port, and are hardly bigger than the port. You can order them online from various places, and there are phone/tablet/etc. apps to talk to them. It'll even open a web page that tells you what the code means... though sometimes the page will be gibberish. For example, instead of saying, "Check your gas cap", it will talk about a 'vapor recovery leak, part of emission system blah blah blah'. Technically all correct, but not very helpful when it will just make me pop the hood and look for loose or cracked hoses or some other problem, there.
Thanks bro, for insisting on 're-filling' that two gallons of gas, then cross-threading my gas cap and gorilla cranking it in place, and damaging it, so I saw the check engine light, and had to randomly pull off the freeway on the way home, and eventually buy a $15 OEM replacement cap!

Just be careful, a lot of times the malfunction that the code shows is NOT the part that needs to be replaced, and some of the dumb ass workers at these places will try to convince you otherwise. I replaced all my spark plugs recently, and one of the new ones was bad. I could tell because my truck was shaking and vibrating due to misfires. So I got it scanned and the code was a misfire on cylinder #4. The Autozone worker tried to convince me to replace my injector, which costs $60, and you're supposed to replace all of them at once, so that would be 8 injectors in my case. I tried to tell him that I know my injector didn't go bad in the hour and a half period since I changed the plugs, but he didn't understand that the code isn't always for the exact part it says. I somehow convinced him to replace the bad plug they gave me, and what do you know, no more misfires. Long story short, knowing a little bit more than the Autozone employee saved me $300 and a few hours of my day.
prediction this is going to get buried. A lot of people think "oh just get the code checked and thats 50% of the way to fixing it" Many time the trouble code will just be a generic one like evap system leak detected but it doesnt tell you whether it is the hoses or a valve or pump or sensor or filter. So it can be a lot of work to diagnose what the actual problem is instead of just throwing money and parts at something.
Also most CEL problems are just issues with the Emissions equipment that don't necessarily mean the engine is turning itself into a pile melted metals.
TLDR: CEL lights and OBD codes give you good help but you still need to diagnose and find solutions. If you have a CEL and check the codes and its just some smog related component you are probably fine to drive until you can get it fixed or have to pass emissions testing.

You can get a reader on Amazon for $10 as well. You'd save that in gas your second or third trip to the auto parts store.
If my check engine light isn't on then I know there's a problem.
I know why the light's on and it's not a safety risk, but replacing the parts needed would exceed the value on the car.
So for now when I have my annual emissions and safety inspection (NYS-mandated) I have to plan it in advance to reset the computer and drive until it's fully reset but hasn't yet detected the dying catalytic, because that light being on is an automatic fail.
Won't it eventually fail emissions if the cc is dying?

The internal test is not very accurate, and it tends to prematurely fail the catalytic converter, so chances are it's still good enough to pass a sniffer test.
Sometimes replacing the downstream O2 sensor increases the accuracy enough to keep the check engine light off for a year or two.
Yeah I'm in NYS where they do a computer test not the sniffer. They might do the sniffer when you test in NYC metro but that's extra money and I can just get the inspection done upstate.
Last March I had my yearly emissions done but my cc is dying/dead. Just as you said, repairing it, after everything else I've done to the car, would total it. My mechanic put some Sea Foam to clean off the carbon deposits on the pistons that made the computer happy long enough to do a full reset on it. Eventually, I'll need to buy a new car, but since my tags expire December 2018, I've got some time if I can't pass the next test.
Mine is still the older design and so they weren't a big issue in my Legacy, but would be to one a model year newer. We got it used and my dad was aware of the potential issues before it joined the family.

Just clog must of the holes in the downstream O2 sensor with a high-temperature epoxy. It'll make it pass the internal test.
Well my catalytic is slowly dying and the light is detecting that. Would this block that detection?

Traditionally, spark plug anti-foulers do the trick, but they wouldn't pass a visual inspection.
The reason why it works is related to how the test works and why its used. It's kind of complex, but here's the best explain-like-I'm-15 I could come up with:
The aim of the car's catalytic converter efficiency test is to ensure that the catalytic converter is reducing the levels of harmful carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon, and nitrous oxide emissions in the cars exhaust. Your car has no means for measuring the levels of these emissions, so instead it compares the O2 level in the exhaust emitted by the engine (which the electronic fuel injection needs to know anyway) to the O2 level in the same exhaust after it has passed through the catalytic converter, under various fuel/air mixtures. The catalytic converter uses O2 when reducing the levels of harmful emissions, so it does change the levels of O2.
As a side note, the post-catalytic-converter O2 sensor exists only for the test, but it is exposed to some extremely hot air, so it often doesn't last as long as the catalytic converter. They are often available as aftermarket parts, with an OEM-compatible connector, often for less than $20. Someone inexperienced can swap it out in less time than they would spend driving to and from a repair shop and waiting around there, so I recommend it as a cheap first attempt at a DIY fix for anyone with the issue.
Manny emissions tests use a probe (often called a sniffer) placed in the exhaust to measure the levels of the harmful emissions I mentioned earlier. If they are too high, either due to engine problems or a faulty catalytic converter, the car will fail the test. Many areas have emissions tests that don't use the sniffer, so they rely on your car to prove that the catalytic converter is working. Because of this, the O2-level test is designed to fail before the catalytic converter is bad enough to fail the sniffer test.
When running the O2-level test, your car will vary the air/fuel mixture and test how quickly the O2 level changes. By partially blocking off the O2 sensor, an old-but-usable catalytic converter will still pass the O2-level test. It doesn't work if the catalytic converter is dead, but at that point you should replace it anyway. Most of the time though, an old-but-usable catalytic converter can go years after it fails the O2-level test before it fails the sniffer test, and needs to be replaced.
Considering that an old-but-usable catalytic converter is still reducing the harmful emissions to acceptable levels, and that there is significant environmental harm in mining of rare-earth elements used to build, and far more harm in building an entire car, I find it ethically better, though legally a grey area, to do what it takes to keep an old car running on an old-but-usable catalytic converter than to replace a catalytic converter, or an entire car, just because a set of environmental testing standards missed the mark.
We even replaced the O2 sensor. The cat is definitely dying. And visual inspection is part of the rest of the inspection here, so no anti-fouler trick.
But recently we disconnected the ABS so that light is on and the Check Engine light has a new friend.
We had to turn the ABS off because Meieke overtightened a new tire we got and then taking it off disintegrated the rusty ABS gears, so at 15mph my stopping distance was 12 yards due to the ABS kicking in when it shouldn't have.
But then I'd have to reset the computer anyway by driving ~20 miles, so that it comes up clean and ready. A recently reset computer will get flagged as 'not ready' until it gets a chance to run diagnostics. But the O2 sensor/catalytic doesn't get detected in the first sweep or so.
It's the same as just unplugging the battery for a minute. I just need to remember my favorite radio stations and fix the clock.
Fair enough. I just found this easier than un hooking than battery daily. Had to do it on the daily because Subaru got the bright idea to disable the cruise when the check engine light pops
Why not just unplug the light? And plug it back in after the inspection
chiefs23 ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 14:20:53 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Because the light lights up briefly when you start the car. They look for that when doing the readiness check and if they don't see it you automatically fail also.

Well, in all fairness it could be a Saab too if we're going off that description alone. Or a BMW, or a Mercedes, or generally any other European vehicle.
When I first got my 9-5 Aero, I went through it and replaced all the fluids and the DIC with genuine Saab stuff. About 4 months later while driving on my way to work, the CEL started flashing, lost all power, and smoke started coming out of the exhaust. I pulled over and shut her down, inspected everything as best I could. As I was on a highway, I tempted fate and started her back up. Idled fine, so I gingerly moved to the offramp about 50ft away and got off the highway. The CEL turned off on it's own, all power was restored, and no more smoke. The issue has not returned since. I like to think that was just the Saab making it known it could do damage, like a pissed off house cat going to go sharpen its claws. It's not hurting you, it's just letting you know it can.
Hahaha, that's hilarious. Here are my experiences:
I had two 9-5's, no aero (I wished) but my first car was a '01 9-5 2,3t. A screw came off and shattered the oil pump in that one. Granted it had LOTS of miles on it and it ran for a relatively long time considering I got it for like $600. (Sweden) The dumbass spark cassette or whatever it is had to be replaced too among other things before this.
My 2nd car was a 04' 9-5 2,0t with much lower mileage. The turbo shat itself in that one after 2 months lmao, luckily I still hadn't taken the previous one to the junkyard yet and the turbo in that one matched mine so I could just switch thank god. (Lots of white smoke from my exhaust too before the turbo went) But when Saabs do work they are damn fine cars and you get lots of car for the price, at least here.
Absolutely. I had a turbo failure on a '01 9-5 with the 3.0t V6, and boy did I feel like a movie-style secret agent. The turbo let go while I was driving and put out a HUGE cloud of white smoke. It quite literally created a safety hazard behind me as visibility was reduced to near zero. But likewise, it was a car that I got for $600. I spent the money on a new turbo, and traded a technician a breakfast sandwich for one of the V6 spark cassettes and I was running and driving again. Put 30,000 miles on it in a year, then sold it for more than I bought it for. The profit from that went to my '05 Aero, which is fully loaded and is only missing one thing that I want, a manual transmission.
Yes, but with a jeep, there's usually some mundane thing that went wrong, like an MAF sensor.
With a Volkswagen, it's more likely that there's a tertiary oxygen sensor designed to be used during cold weather start-ups that went bad and is sending some odd signals to the CANBUS which is experiencing some weird short and is causing your windows to roll down every time you hit the brakes when your engine is still cold.

had a 90 jeep cherokee for about 5 years. went through two steering columns, 3 or 4 tps sensors, 2 computers, 3 wheel bearings, 2 coolant bottles, 2 idle controllers and all new injectors. finally when the steering box broke off the frame i said fuck it.
I had a 1999 jeep grand Cherokee for high school. Damn near everything went wrong with that car besides the engine and transmission. Had no heater, AC, electronics in all the doors went out, no windows, sunroof didn't work, seemed to leak coolant no matter what I did but that engine and transmission could've taken me a long way if my dumbass 18 year old self changed the oil when I was supposed to. Spending $30 on an oil change seemed stupid when I could just buy an eighth instead. I was dumb then

Sometimes check engine comes on for REALLY menial things, last time mine came on I needed a new gas cap. Ask an auto shop to use their reader, a lot will for free
That's the most common and least expensive problem, because it's not even a cracked gas cap most of the time, it's that you didn't put the cap in all the way once. The light doesn't turn off on its own, so one time could leave it like that.

Make sure you search online after getting the code from the reader. Some things that sound innocuous may not be.
I had one that sounded like nothing but it was most likely a sign of a loose timing belt. Since we have 140,000 on the car, we decided to do it.

Warranties for cara don't usually worm like that. It's more like care insurance but specifically for car repair. It covers the majority of systems in the car but I could have to pay up to 200. But if there are major problems then I could save a lot of money. I don't actually have a lot of spare money. So I took it since the monthly fee was negligible and I'm more likely to be able to afford 200 than 2k.

Is this is a frequent problem and you're the type to want to know what's going on, you should look into an OBD-II to Bluetooth adapter. It connects to the OBD-II port in your car (standard/required on all models sold in US since 1996) and allows you to connect your phone to it and use an app to view information about the car. Works easiest/best on Android and is cheapest that way too.

Read your manual, it probably isn't saying your engine's about to explode, it probably means something like, emissions failure.
Mine turned on once because the gas cap wasn't on tight enough.
Look into getting an OBDII dongle. It is a little blocky plug-in thing that reads all of your engine codes. Its like $10 online and then an app to connect to it that's another $10. It's rad.
Buy all the houses in my street and demolish them. Then dig underground until I have a track sized underground space. Build an inconspicuous mansion over the underground track. Invite people to my underground track and hold car races.

Lower Wacker in Chicago has underground races for you. No mansion though. Also, homeless people. The underground chase scene in the dark knight was filmed there too.
I don't know why but ever since I was a little kid I was obsessed with underground hidden things, specifically as a thing I thought all rich people had. Like I thought rich people had hidden doors in their basement that would open up into like a bowling alley or pool or arcade or something. I support this. Start a gofundme

There should be one part of the map where cars can do an inverted loop with a gap near the apex that is above ground so that onlookers would just glimpse cars travelling upside down and then vanishing into the ground.
Yeah, that would be extremely difficult. Tracks are noisy smelly places, in an enclosed space it would be unbearable without extensive remediation, not to mention fire hazzards.... Underground theaters are banned in many municipalities because of the horrifying fires they experienced.
But, this post isn't all negative!
If you haven't seen THX-1138, it has an extended underground race scene like you are describing. Worth watching for ideas for your lair. Think F1 in a Daft Punk/retrofuturism style antiutopia.
This is pretty close to what I've always dreamed except I would buy an island and then build my race course around the entire coast of that island (with a few awesome tunnels and bridges along the way) and build my house in the middle with an underground garage and a bunch of cars. My staff would include a full time mechanic and personal EMS with their own little ambulance because someone is bound to get hurt but god damn it would be the best thing ever
Oh, don't mind me, I'm just your run-of-the-mill entire street straddling residential dwelling... please ignore the roar and rumble you hear coming from my basement - it's just an old furnace.
Dood. I've been planning this for some time now. Above ground, would also be a Frisbee golf course that connects all of the houses (along with a BMX trail on the outer perimeter).
Plus, a HUGE adult sized jungle gym and monkey bars and all that shit.

About 2 or 3 times that depending on the theater. In the US, the theaters get a very small cut of the movie ticket sales when the movie first releases, and then progressively more until the movie is no longer shown, which still doesn't amount to much. Theaters sell concessions at crazy high prices because, in reality, that is actually how they make the majority of their money.

Movie tickets in the US at an average theater are typically $7-15 depending where you go. Largest size popcorn is $7-12.
My local theater chain has $5 (admission) Tuesdays. With a rewards card, you can get a small popcorn for free, an upgrade to a large popcorn is only $4. Drinks are still $5.25-6.25 (all values are before tax).

The "local" chain I was referring to are Marcus Theater locations, having googled Wehrenberg I found 2 Marcus Theaters there so yeah it's probably that.
Small: Doesn't exist, they don't sell one this size
Medium: Pretty small bag of popcorn, maybe 1.5 quart sized ziploc bags worth. Not enough for 2 people probably. Costs $6.50
Large: Decent sized bag of popcorn, maybe 1-1.5 gallon ziploc bags worth. Enough for 2 people. Costs $7.00
X-Large: A big ol' tub of popcorn that usually also comes with a free refill. More popcorn than a person should eat. Costs $7.50
Drinks follow a similar size scale, price is probably ~1-1.5 less than an equivalent popcorn. They price things so closely because they are always trying to get you to upgrade. "Do you want a large for just fifty cents more?".

Local theater chain here gives a free small popcorn on Tuesdays if you have a rewards card (Tuesday is their magic day, $5 admission all day, dicounted stuff). If you want a large bucket of popcorn you can upgrade from your free small for $4. Soda (32oz (94.6cl)) is $5.25 or an ICEE (same size) is $6.25
You have a counter in front of every row of seats. Throughout the movie if you have any requests, there are pencils and slips of paper you can write on which you place at the edge of the counter with the written request (ordering food, refills, reporting other noisy people, etc). The employees constantly watch for people placing requests and will answer them throughout the movie. With popcorn, you get a big ass stainless steel bowl of popcorn. If you need more, you just write it on the paper and ask for it. It's the only size of popcorn they sell and you're allowed to share it. Even with two people, I've never gone through more than two bowls.
Alamo is the best damn movie theatre chain I've ever been to. They have a strict no admittance policy for people who are late to the movie, you get one warning for cell phone use and noise complaints before you are kicked out without refund, quality food and drink (beer, wine, pizza, wings, burgers, milkshakes, etc), before the previews they'll play funny tangentially related to your movie videos (so for Wonder Woman that also included a brief history of the character, for Spiderman Homecoming had this, Guardians of the Galaxy had info about tanuki, raccoon dogs, and this video, there are more videos than that, but those are just the ones I remember).
At iPic, you pay like $25 for your ticket, but you get free/unlimited popcorn, nice reclining seats, and you have a waiter that can bring you food and booze (costs extra)

I finally just raised the rent and hired a cleaner to come every two weeks, but that just made it worse because now they were paying for someone to clean for them. So now every day except for the day after she came to clean, the house was absolutely disgusting.
One tenant moved out and she came to clean the room after he left. I won't go into the grotesque details, but even after tipping her close to $400 for the 9 hours she spent in that bedroom, she never took my calls again.

That's gross, but I know the feeling. In college I lived in a 6 bedroom house with 8 people. It was nuts. We tried to have sunday cleandays cause we'd usually have parties on the weekends and have to clean up after it. But this one dude NEVER did his dishes, and left his shit all over the place. It got to the point where we would stack his dirty dishes in front of his bedroom door when they piled too high to use the sink. We all knew they were his. Ugh.
And then one other guy bought his own small set of dishes and kept them in his room & washed them in the bathroom sink, because the house dishes were too unreliable. You'd have to clean up somebody else's mess before even starting to make food.

Unless the broken shit is a dripping faucet in the US where water is so heavily subsidized it's cheaper to let that faucet drip for 20 years than it is to fix it.
My wife had that exact issue and it was instantly fixed with antibiotics
hallese ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 14:27:33 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sure, but the pipes are fine, it's just the faucet for the tub that is worn out, but renovating the bathroom is a chore for three or four years down the road, not today, but in all that time that slow drip is going to cost me maybe a $1 in water, way less than bringing in someone to fix it or replacing the faucet.
it took me 6 months to replace the bathroom faucet that was pouring out at least a gallon every 2 hours. i bitched at the landlord for months and finally caved and fixed it myself. the most aggravating thing was spending more on tools to fix it than the damn faucet itself.

I charge based on the size of the house (how many beds/baths/levels) it has
If they have pets that produce a lot of hair
If I have to supply/bring my own cleaning products vs if they are all provided for me
And sometimes if the place is consistently really messy or if you can tell that it will be, rather, right off the bat. I wonโt clean hoarderโs places.
Example: say you have a three story, four bedroom/three bath, you have one dog/cat, and you provide everything I need to clean with, I would charge roughly $120. It might take me three hours so youโre looking at $40/hr.

I have a cleaner and was just wondering how much they go for in different areas. I only fell into it because she showed up at my house the day we closed on the house. She had been working in this home for 23 years. She cleans every Monday - she's pretty amazing and knows the house better than we do so we decided to splurge and keep her.
Thank you for not ditching her! If itโs your main source of income itโs hard to lose houses.

I think it is worth it too, despite being normally very frugal.
I seriously would rather her come than go out to dinner each week.

Ya, I get that, but I find when people want a cleaner they expect the general definition of โcleaningโ and I had like two friends surprised they didnโt handle clutter.
Itโs something that should be discussed upon the first walkthrough/interview. It helps to know exactly what they want/donโt want, but I also tell them what I do/donโt do, too. If you want something I donโt typically provide it may be negotiable.
How much would I pay you to clean a moderately messy house?! Like allllll of the little things. Dusting and cleaning all the trim and edges of the inside ?!?! My house was a crack house before and I have cleaned so so much but I'm so over taking a brush to every little thing I see......
It depends on how big your house is to be honest. I expect houses to be messyโthatโs what you hire me for! I provide floor to ceiling cleaning and if you want something extra weโd discuss it, but for me anyways, the trim is always done every time I clean a place.

Yes, they're actually very reasonable. Right now the only thing stopping us from hiring a cleaning service is the initial deep cleaning that we'd have to do first so they don't think we're complete slobs.
It depends. I charge by how large the house is/how long it will take me. So say you have a one bed/one bath smallish house I would probably quote you $50-$60 if you have a larger house, four bedroom/three bath with larger areas to clean it could go up to $120-$150. It also depends on if you supply me with things to clean with or if Iโm bringing everything myself.
I saw your price breakdown below and it is in line with my expectations. But now i'm wondering why/how you consider it affordable. $120 per cleaning and most I talk to want to clean ever two weeks. That is over $240 per month and in line with my car payment, more than my gas or electricity, more than even high tier cable+internet plans.
I am not questioning the charge for cleaning, which is in line with the market rate, but we cancelled after years of having it done simply because the cost was still too high.
I justify it by it being my main source of income and itโs a lot of work to be honest :) plus, running a business means business expenses. You have to put aside money for your LLC/registration with the BBB, and of course your taxes because itโs not a good idea to run a business under the table. You have to consider the gas in you vehicle (how much to and from the houses you clean).
You may have to provide everything to clean with (supplies) even a mop/broom/vacuum so you need to have that kind of stuff on hand or be able to pull out funds to purchase them.
Totally agree. I do not mean to imply you should charge less. More power to you.
As a homeowner, I just cannot afford the service you offer and $240 per month is a lot of money compared to other home costs and services. So, i don't see it as affordable, i see it as an optional splurge.
Right on. Depends on the size of your house, too. $120 isnโt a flat fee, it was just an example. I clean smaller houses for $60

In Los Angeles, we pay 50 just to clean the living room and bathroom of a small 2 bedroom apartment. And that's pretty cheap compared to other quotes we got. Only takes them an hour.
I never understood the hate for laundry. It's the easiest chore. You pop your clothes in and take em out later. Boom, done. All you need to do is hang up/fold everything which takes all of 5 minutes and zero brain power.
[deleted] ยท 21 points ยท Posted at 12:17:17 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't have a dryer so I need to put everything out to dry, make sure I don't forget them then iron them (or they're full of creases and folds) and then fold them. So it takes me a lot more than 5 minutes.
I actually miss doing this, my chore was hanging clothes to dry as a kid, and I continued in grad school to save money (sunshine was often more reliable than the shitty coin operated dryers where someone dumps out your still-wet clothes). It was meditative and Iโm convinced it makes the best smelling laundry. The best feeling ever is covering yourself in soft blankets that smell like sunshine.
Wish I could dry laundry outside where I am now, but itโs often too humid or rainy here and the stupid HOA here has something against laundry lines even in the backyard. The other downside is having to time sunlight and making sure you set the laundry out early enough.
Guess it goes to show that different people are bothered/bored/frustrated/whatever by different things.

A majority of my clothes can't go in the dryer, so I have to carry a heap of wet clothes back from the basement up to my studio apartment and hang it up all around the room. Plus folding takes closer to 20 minutes.
After you walk/drive your laundry to the laundromat, pop it in the washer, wait for 30-45 minutes, take them out and pop them in the dryer and wait another 30-45 minutes, then take them out, fold them up and walk/drive them home, then fold/hang up everything...it becomes a bit easier to see the hate. Owning a washer and dryer is a luxury for many.
That's definitely a different thing entirely, but I don't think the hate for laundry stems entirely from people who don't own washers/dryers. It's a really common chore to dislike even among people with machines, in my experience.

I am the exact opposite. I won't cook but I don't mind doing laundry at all.
I recommend going pure hangers if your closet can fit it all. Just go to Target and get a shitload of cheap hangers. Wash the big stuff first (towels, jeans) and then once you do your load with socks and shirts, slap those suckers on hangers.
Another thing, if you're using a dresser put your less frequently worn shirts toward the bottom.

I read about a recent study that found (basically) that no, money doesn't buy happiness, but using extra money to buy things that save you time (e.g. a cleaner) does improve happiness.
Time Magazine recently mentioned a study that showed people received more satisfaction from using their money towards chores they don't like - cleaning, cooking, gardening, etc. - than on material goods / presents to themselves. So you're not alone on that one.
A cleaning lady every two weeks is the thing I bought myself when I got my first non-retail job that paid more than minimum wage. I still do a bunch of stuff, but itโs so nice to get home on fridays after work and have the place be tidy and clean.

I don't think a cleaner is really as expensive as people think. My wife and I were pretty squarely low middle class and looked in to getting a cleaner. It was like $200 for the first visit where they would do the heavy cleaning and then like $50 a visit after that. That would only be $100 a month for biweekly cleaning. Not everyone has an extra $100 a month but it wouldn't break the bank for people that do.
We decided against it because we were dual income no kids with few responsibilities already doing nothing with our time. We felt paying someone so we could do even less with our time would have been exceptionally lazy.

I actually like cooking most of the time. My wife and I finally felt financially secure enough to get a cleaner once a month and it is SO worth the added expense.
Depending on where you live, this isn't necessarily expensive. Where I live, this would cost only slightly more than eating at a nice restaurant every day.
The both sad and convenient reality of living in a country with over 30% unemployment.
Why is this the 5th comment I've seen on reddit today about a goddamn $20 Amazon bidet using similar phrasing? Am I missing out on a new meme or are you some kinda undercover advertising stooge.
Or is this the baader-meinhof phenomenon at work??
I've probably sung the praises of my bidet four or five times on reddit now and I always mention Amazon because it's a big trusted retailer that everyone knows and from what I could tell when I got mine they have the best prices.
I guess in my head the convenience of it being available on Amazon lowers the barrier for someone who might be considering one.

Definitely Baader-Meinhof, but undercover advertising could have been the catalyst?
My family won't use it. They say either it's gross or cold. I absolutely love it. But you're right, a heater would be baller.
Edit: Corrected Swype word guess fatal flaw of your instead of you're. However, it now seems that the post above this is gone so all context is lost anyway.
depends on the model and the bathroom layout. mine has a hot water hookup but my toilet is on the other side of the bathroom from the sink so I'd have to run pex (i believe that's what it's using) across the bathroom or cut into the walls. either way, not ideal.
oh i was just speaking to this one comment thread. someone said something about it being too cold and someone replied with a question about why there was no hot water and i was explaining based on that. not the original thread of a billion dollars. of course in that scenario, i would just buy the dedicated bidet and all the fixin's and/or the super fancy japanese toilets depending on what i was going for in that bathroom. not some $20 plastic addon from amazon.
You know how you have to run the faucet a little while before the hot water from the heater can traverse the pipes to the faucet? Same problem with bidets. Normally they will solve that by integrating an instant water heater, or housing a reservoir of heated water. But those require power, and most toilets in America don't have outlets nearby.
Power provides opportunity for other features, like heated seat, massaging nozzle, spray mode selector, active aim, air dryer, noise assist, auto lid, illumination, scheduled cleaning, etc.
It's a bit shocking when the water first hits you but immediately after its more massage like.
My mom has a top of the line Toto, my son (13) plans his shitting schedule to coincide with going to her house. It's a pretty awesome way to enhance your bathroom time.
Instead of using the plastic t-adapter that came with mine I bought a metal one with a valve on it so I could lower the pressure going to the bidet. It helped lower the max pressure to something more manageable.
[deleted] ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 14:26:07 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Just search Amazon for mechanical bidet and you'll see a few under $30 that look the same. Mine is made by (glances down) Astor and it is powerful and has been very reliable in the year I've had it.
After installing It you end up with a knob next to the seat and you just reach down and turn the knob to how powerful you want it and you've got water shooting onto your crack.
I thought it would spray everywhere but it does not.
The fancy ones don't just warm the seat and spray cold water. They spray warm water that you can temperature control and blow-dry your ass too so you don't touch shit. Would I get one? No, it's a bit excessive, but it really makes you feel like royalty.

You donโt need hot water for the washlet style bidets. It splits the fresh water line leading into the toilet tank and heats it on demand. So really all you need is an electricity outlet behind the toilet.
The only thing a washlet canโt do that a fully integrated Japanese toilet can is flush itself.

Its not just having outlets in the same room, its having them right next to the toilet. In both bathrooms in my house I'd have to run an extension cord all the way across the room or hire an electrician to put in a new outlet.
True, although we use an extension cord. It's not invisible, but it's also not an eyesore. Depends on how much you like a nice warm seat in the winter (which I do).

There's like a 10 volt difference right? It doesn't matter going from America to Japan, but wouldn't it matter more going from Japan to America when you're getting more electricity than you wanted?
They do. The downside is, it's hard to poop without removing your pants. The upside is, it's much easier to get everything out, you tend to need to wipe less, and even when you're constipated it still feels much easier. Highly recommend.

The cheapest one from Toto is $600 on their site, but on Amazon they're $300-400. Worthwhile investment if you ask me (and you don't have to be a billionaire).
I occasionally do some house sitting and one of the houses has a Japanese toilet seat. Needless to say i spend about half my time in that house on the toilet. They are relatively affordable though, i think theirs was like 350 dollar.

When I was in Taiwan for a month for business, there was one of these in my hotel bathroom. I'd occassional use the heat function but never used the bidet portion. I kept thinking to myself that I would probably love it, but still never used it. Finally the last few days of my stay, I used it and completely regretted not using it the whole trip. That was a few years ago and I still think about that special toilet seat.
My parents had one because my sister is disabled. Take a dump, press a button, warms water jets clean your butt then it retracts, flushes and then warm dryer comes out. Used to sit there for ages and I never feared eating a hot curry.

Its a sliding scale. The peasant ones without warm up functions are like $30 on amazon. Then it goes up from there until you get one that plays music, auto raises the toilet lid or seat, oscillates the water nozzle arm in a wave motion for maximum cleaning etc. etc.

Yeah. I work in plumbing wholesale, so this is essentially the Rolls Royce of toilets (minus the gold plated ones). Also, list price is not the price you pay through a wholesaler.
Why not just have someone wipe your ass for you and warm up the seat via sitting on it themselves? Nothing gets anything body temperature better than another body right?
I donโt use my bidet because my buddy told me it would be too awesome and Iโd never be able to poop anywhere else again. So itโs a magazine rack.
I got a basic water jet bidet and was amazed at how nice that alone was. Too bad the one i bought leaked and destroyed my bathroom floor. I'm getting another, but this time I won't go for the literal cheapest one I could find.
I would do the same, but for my new found supermodel friends so i can eat the best butt

You can get one for like $50 on Amazon. No seat warmer though. Most people don't know but the pipes in the wall sit at 15psi which with the right nozzle is enough to blow you a new butt hole. There's no need for a pump and electricity. Just a valve because you can just split the source going into your tank.

[cut to statues of friends connected dick to butt]
This reminds me of that Tom Green skit where had a statue fountain made of his dad beating good mom then another one of them having sex. I would look it but it seems that's it's been scrubbed pretty good from the internet
Please do not post homophobic comments on the internet, we do not discuss this subject in 2033. I am asking nicely. Do not worry, my good friend, the homosexual men of earth are trying to leave this planet as quickly as possible. Soon your dreams will come true.
... On that topic, I would create a 3D house printing startup designed to print houses in the shape of giant butts. I could make them as affordable as possible, yet high quality. I would watch on, giggling like a 12 year old as the landscape is slowly filled with butt-houses.
I have an older gay friend who has these 2 eight foot statues in his living room, each with a penis the size of my lower leg. It's always a little strange going over to his place.

Huge dicks would be more suiting as the Roman's saw large phallus' as a symbol of weakness. A tiny phallus represented self control and intelligence, as a larger phallus would would give in to impulses and insecurities. You know what they say, the pen is mightier that the meatsword.
Nah, obscenely large penises would look even better. And obscenely large vaginas for his female friends

You know, in ancient Greece, and later in the roman period, which adopted many of Greeks' costumes, a small flacid penis was a symbol of intelligence and rationality. A big penis was a thing of irrational, instinctual, thoughtless barbarians.
They took very seriously the saying "think with your penis".
That's why you see tiny penises on all of their statues.
So, a tiny penis was a compliment, actually. Making the statues with tiny dicks is him recognizing their civility and intellect.

I'm sorry you feel this way about an entire generation, although this is really lazy stereotyping. I go out with my friends every other weekend with a 60+litre rucksack each to spend a day or two wandering around the moors, with no electronics other than a GPS, a radio, and a couple of watches. Occasionally we put up our tents and stay the night, going 48 hours without even seeing a phone. But yeah, we millennials rely so much on our phones for entertainment.

I think in some parts of the US garden means a more fancy area with landscaping, flowers and water features. A yard is just mown grass. In the UK a garden is the same as a yard.

Iโm in the UK and Iโve never heard anyone refer to a paved area as a โyardโ, Iโve heard Courtyard, prison yard, churchyard, stableyard, brickyard, junkyard etc but never just yard on its own.
I always laugh when people refer to their concreted/tarmacked front garden as a "garden". I'm not sure what else they should call it, but a few weeds doesn't really make a garden in my book.
Canadian here. To us (and in most parts of US as well), garden and flowerbed are areas with dirt/soil where you plant flowers and other plants. The yard is the whole area around your house (excluding the driveway), including trees, grass, and other landscaping elements

In the UK at least, bud. I only ever use yard to describe the very small space at the back of terraced housing where there is usually no natural greenery (itโs often patio/flags). Gardens here are what you call yards I imagine. The green space at the back of a house. We call the grass in front of our houses the front lawn.
Curious, what do you call the patch of tilled soil in which vegetables are grown? I'm seeing a lot of variation among the North American replies in this comment chain, but where I'm from in Canada a yard is all the space around a house, a lawn is the grassy part of the yard, a garden is the tilled part for growing produce, and flowers are grown in flower beds or as accents around the vegetable garden. We wouldn't call landscaped or shrubbed parts of the yard a garden here, they're just features of the yard.
Flower bed for flowers. I've never actually heard anyone say fruit patch or plot but I guess that, if you were growing both vegetables and fruit you'd just say vegetable patch/plot.
We have flower beds as you do. And specify the grassy bit as a lawn.
As u/schlebb said, we would say yard for a small enclosed paved area such as in city houses that have a tiny outdoor space. (edit - I suspect that comes from courtyard)

A garden is where you plant things. A yard is just the area around your house. Often people plant gardens somewhere on their yard but they are not the same thing.
Garden: piece of ground, often near a house, used for growing flowers, fruit, or vegetables.
Yard: ย piece of ground, often near a house, will sometimes have grass.
Yard is a space in your house that might have grass and some plants in it. A garden is a space with carefully chosen and kept plants, where the landscaping is the main attraction of the area. You can have a garden in your yard but not a yard in your garden.
A yard is mostly just grass, maybe with some trees and flowers here and there. A garden has much more in it and is more dense; they might have trees, bushes, flowers, vegetable plants, and maybe some ornaments like birdfeeders or statues. A garden can also be a specific spot in a yard.

Depends on where you live I guess. Especially if you live in a city a garden is a luxury, whereas if you live in a town it's pretty much standard (atleast where I live).
Mr high society is currently in shock because he hasn't paid his phone bill and just got on the train WiFi to have his phone shit itself about reddit notifications.
Nope! I accuse you (accurately I might add) that you are posting the same shit everyone posts about being rich over arbitrary items or possessions. I canโt help the fact you read incorrectly. Have a good day, you dumb fuck lol
You specifically said I was "repeating the phrase ad nauseum", which is demonstrably untrue.
Later changing your position to now accuse me of "repeating the same shit everyone posts" is effectively admission that you were wrong in the first place, and anyway the burden of proof lies with you to show me that "everybody" posts the same phrase. Otherwise you're just making vague accusation based on nothing but hot air.
Also resorting to ad homs basically also confirms that you know you were wrong because you have no actual arguments remaining. Must be a sad feeling, but i wouldn't know.
Lol I don't know what phrase you are talking about, but there's nothing in my last reply I've said before. Maybe you perceive certain logical rebuttals as overused because they are often used against you specifically, because you often make the same logically flawed arguments. You think that the phrases are everywhere but really the are just following you around because you are so consistent in your shit arguments.
Also I see you are continuing with the personal attacks, the sure indicator if somebody with nothing constructive to add. Given your desperation to assert that other people are repetitive and unoriginal, and the fact that your responses are all pretty much the same "that's a cliche, you are dumb", it's pretty obvious you are just projecting your own insecurity about your personal unoriginality. You even mirrored my response format for your last line, which is about as unoriginal as it gets.
Huh that's actually pretty hilarious. You are insecure about your own rampant unoriginality so you overcompensate online and accuse everything of being repetitive and unoriginal and lash out with personal attacks when challenged.
Fuck that's funny, go on tho and tell me how everything I've just said is another clichรฉ you've heard before, and how I suck etc etc. I wouldnt expect that :D
Speaking of desperate. Iโm glad youโre finally being yourself, but that harkens back to the original point: why did you repeat a tired ass meme when you want everyone to think youโre intelligent?
If you spent half the time you spent on being a dick in the internet coming up with new material, who know what you may have become. Instead, youโre bitter - relying on logical fallacies to attempt to assert dominance in a conversation with a novelty account. Your last paragraph is the most insightful into who you really are. And with that, I leave you with this:
Shit it's literally the same non argument and ad homs yet again. You really are totally unoriginal.
Also I see that you keep replying to yourself, is that to kinda simulate having friends or something? Honestly this has gone from funny cringe to kinda sad cringe. Hiding behind your own fake replies....
I think its really great that you are putting yourself out there, trying to engage socially, but maybe try going out into the real world and talking to actual people ykno.
I'm not upset, this is funny tinged with pathetic, also when have I attacked you? I could list your attacks at me but we both know they are numerous so ill save the bother.
How long have you been having conversations with yourself on reddit? Have you spoken to a therapist about your loneliness?
OH youโre a troll account! My fault, I didnโt realize. At least I had the decency to name myself as such; you really had me going!
Btw how hard is your dick right now? Does it pulsate whenever you use โad homโ in a sentence?
Again, I canโt tell if youโre being dense on purpose or if it just comes natural. Either way, we wish you the best of luck making it into adulthood. Stay mad lol
It's like nothing you say has any bearing on reality. This isn't a troll account, and if you keep using ad homs, I'm gonna keep calling them. Like I said earlier, people don't say this stuff repeatedly, they just say it repeatedly to you, because you keep doing it.
Idk it's weird like it's satisfying taking a logical stance and defending it, but you are just spewing rubbish, idk how that could be satisfying, and yet you seem unable to stop.
Youโve proven you cannot keep up in an actual conversation not recognize your own ad homs. I can keep explaining this to you but Iโll never be able to comprehend it for you.
I do hope you figure yourself out one day though, itโs probably pretty sad being you.
This is gold, I've got a somebody who has conversations with themselvesโ on reddit trying to tell other people they are sad. Honestly mate it's OK, you dont have to be afraid, lashing out will just keep you lonely. If you open up a bit you might be able to make some real social connections.
Heh, I really do feel bad for you. Literally one of the simplest individuals Iโve come across on here. This it for me though, you are boring. Was fun watching your mental gymnastics in the beginning, so thanks for that.
I was going to do this when i found out you could order a literal metric ton of nuts off the web for ยฃ100. The targetted friends lived in the skinniest house in England at that point of time.
I was card in hand ready going to check out...minimum order quantity 12tons. I was so upset. So if I wake up a billionaire id be buying 12tons of nuts and sending them to their new house boat instead.

yes but if you're a billionaire why not have a fake-ass looking shiny horse to show off to the neighbors. You can breed it with a bigger horse so you get a shiny baby horse that you can ride when it grows up.

Get your own. Didn't cost much. For me about 3 years to pay off. You could get many-fewer acres, and just make sure you border some government land (BLM, Forest Service, State/National Park, etc), and you'll feel like you own a lot more. 2 acres is enough to provide for most families, if you're trying to homestead or whatever.
You can get into something like that for well under 10k, sometimes less than 1k/acre.
A house with one of those ridiculously large pools with like a waterfall and a slide and multiple jacuzzis. And I want wall-to-wall aquariums in my house. And I'd be one of those people who builds a mansion for their dog in the backyard. The dog can have its own pool and waterslide.

The thread is about the most extravagantly lavish thing you'd waste some money on. Of course people aren't going to talk about how they'd save. You'd obviously hire a financial advisor and plan.
But I also think you're underestimating how much a BILLION dollars is.

You could buy something ridiculous (say a 100mm dollar house) and still have 900mm left over. With inflation and even small interest in a regular bank account (not assuming you're investing, just keeping it in a bank) you'd have 4% per year. You could spend 350,000 per year, not have to worry about rent, and you would not even take a single penny out of the money you started with. Thats 1 billion. It's a lot more money than people think it is
Billionaires live with different rules too. If you told a bank, hey I want to put 900mil in your bank, I'm pretty certain they'd all give a higher interest rate than the normal person gets too.

I'm sorry, is this not a thread specifically asking us to come up with the most extravagant thing we'd do with a functionally limitless amount of money?
That was my first thought, lol. I wouldn't ever buy myself a mansion if I was uber rich, no matter how rich I was. I don't need the space and the bills might actually catch up to me some day. I'd probably even hesitate on buying a super nice car either, tbh.

I had an idea once for aquarium tubes that go down hallways, and connect to aquariums in the rooms. Basically setup so fish can follow you around your house.
That would be great for puffers as they follow you around anyways. But maintenance would suck so hard on that. You would need to have people dive in or create a robot to clean everything.

Yeah, it was a this would be cool idea, then, that wouldn't work out well idea. Impractical, next to impossible to keep maintained, but would be awesome. Still might be doable in a smaller scale. Have an interconnected tank from one room to another, but probably the room right behind it.
I think in home aquariums are an untapped middle class luxury market waiting to happen.
I can buy lawn care for a reasonable price, partly due to scale: one company has the team, the skills, the tools, and sells to every other person on the block.
It seems to me like setting up and maintaining an aquarium matches all of these properties. I would get more value from an aquarium than from a nice lawn.
In fact, someone should set up a service that paves over my lawn for free when I buy my first year...
Why have wall to wall aquariums (aquaria?) When your walls can be aquariums?

So...we did something similar. We added a side door and an a.c. unit to the free standing garage for my dog when we combined households (the dogs not cool with kids). We also split the yard in two and built a doggy tent in said garage. We are not billionaires...
Aww man. I saw adverts for villas in Dubai. They had balconies going over the top of a pool with a waterfall coming out of the floor of the balcony into the pool. If I had a billion dollars I'd pay the water bill just to have clean water pumped in for my morning shower...
I'd fill up a pool with Nutella. Get a cover because Dusty Nutella would be gross, and I'd go and take a couple spoonfuls once in a while. Nutella waterfall sounds cool but I don't think it would work.
make a pool, inside the pool place air bubble and aqaurium inside it, make a few more nested layers of bubbles/aqurium and at the last level have a nice dog trying to figure out what an idiot is her human.
What about a walk-in aquarium? A walk-in closet, but the walls and ceiling and floor are all aquarium.

And every few years you clone your dog again so you can have it live forever
So you'd be Kuzco from Emperor's New Groove? Who would you pick to follow you around all day with your groove? I think Flava Flave is the obvious choice. Or would it just be a continuous competition so you get the variety. You could have a different contestant every day with Paula Abdul following THAT person continuously judging them.
This made me realize that my most extravagant (or at least ridiculous) purchase would be a nanny for my dog. I would hire someone to play with my dog, walk my dog, feed him, bath him, etc when I'm not home. Just basically make sure my dog is safe, happy, and healthy when I can't be there. I feel so bad leaving him alone while I'm at work or even just going to the store. Dog nanny would put an end to that! I would expect hourly updates from dog nanny about everything from his sleeping habits to bowel movements. This should include pictures... And yes, I mean pictures of my dog's BM's too if there's something unusual about them.
Similarly, I'd hire a full time dog groomer. Keeping up with 2 German Shedders is a lot of work. And then I'd buy them their own pool to splash in, because there would be a groomer to bathe and blowdry them afterward and I would never have to smell wet dog.
And I'd be one of those people who builds a mansion for their dog in the backyard
See, I don't get that... I want my dog close to me. I'm sure she'd like her own mansion for a bit, but I think she'd miss me and want to be in the main house.
How about a swimming pool in another swimming pool? That's the real sign of wealth.

My billionaire pool would be a 50-yard heated outside lap pool, for use year round, but I could get in and out during cold weather using my inside 50 yard lap pool, which would be comfortable, then swim through a passage to the outdoor pool for laps in all weather (a Marriott in suburban Georgia has one of these set-ups, and it's great except that neither pool is really big enough for lap swimming). The separate inside lap pool for when there was lighting or hail or freezing rain, or some other reason you absolutely couldn't use the outside lap pool.
I have weinerdogs, so a blow-up pool filled with 3" of water is about the most they would ever want, so no wasting money on a separate dog pool - that's just crazy!

I love aquariums too! It's been my dream for ages to have a giant one in my living room, but it's impractical except in this fantasy scenario where I'm a billionaire. Right now I just have a ten gallon freshwater with some guppies in it. That's about the maintenance level I'm able to keep up with for now. Someday, someday...
Steven Seagal's old house on Staten Island has a huge doghouse (I'd guess at least 900 sq ft, you walk into it like a normal house) with marble floors and high ceiling with chandeliers. It's beyond gaudy but pretty impressive at the same time. The owner at the time I was there had 9 German shepherds, the 2 oldest were an all black and an all white one that were shaved to look like lions. I would probably do something similar if I was that rich, except with golden retrievers and labs because I like goofy dogs.
My dream in a nutshell is that room. Just having that bathroom will satisfy me.

Even that will get old pretty quick.
After a month you wont really notice how nice everything is.
Had the chance to live in a "similar" appartment for some time when I was in a semester abroad in asia. Not the same stuff as this but easily worth more than a few million. Couldnt afford that in 3 lifetimes. I have some asian friends that said I should life in one of their appartments so I dont have to search. Knew they were wealthy but I had no idea.
I am middle class in europe (if even that), so I was blown away. They insisted on me staying there for free since no one was using the appartment. Was just one of many of their investments.
The nicest thing was by far the bathroom. Marble stuff everywhere.
But already after the first week I got annoyed by the elevator ride when you have to go somewhere fast.. Its insane how fast you get used to material stuff.
On that note some people in poor african region probably look at your housing the same way we look at that NYC appartment..

yeah It's scarily easy to take things for granted once you're used to them. It's always good to try and take a step back and think about all the nice things you have, especially when you might be feeling down. It's natural for humans to want more and push ourselves, it's probably good for us in the long run but it can make you forget the now, sometimes.
and I've always thought that about living in a tall building, the view must be awesome but man the lift would get old fast. I've worked on just a 6th floor of a building and the lift is extra time and hassle, can't imagine being at the top of park ave. So much nicer being in an office where I can just walk up 1 flight of open plan stairs and out the door, same with the house

True.
Last month we had a career fair at my university and at the get-together one of the most pretentious lawyers invited subtle bragged about his firm moving to the 37nd floor.
Asking something like "huh... That elevator ride sure has to suck, no?" sure would have bummed him out haha.
I wish I could come up with stuff like that in time.
Only poor people need to store their books in their Living Room.
That said yeah, I don't get that place. It feels like a place to host parties, not a home to live in (high ceilings, lounge is enormous and tiled - where's the cosy snug with thick carpet, TV and sofa?).
I live in a hallway in an old shotgun style house and sleep on the couch. I just move the couch when I want my 3.75x3.75m space. It's a big hallway. No privacy though.
Man I feel for you. For a time I lived in a trailer with twelve others. It was wall to wall smelly feet and butt crack.
I woke up one day and decided to change my situation, so I joined the Army. Best decision that changed my life for the better. Got me out of the gutter.
So true. Don't let it get you down. Being close to the bottom rung makes the ascent even better because you know how it is and what is at stake. One day you will look back on this with fond memories, knowing you were able to take what life threw at you and prospered.

I think the benefit of that place, aside from the interesting urban view, for you (and me) would be the seclusion. The building presumably has a doorman and who is going to knock on your door to borrow a cup of sugar?
"Hi. Yeah, I live in the 80 mil apartment right beneath you. I'm trying to do some baking, but I'm out of sugar. Could you spare a cup?"
The only people to reach your front door would be invited guests and maybe someone business related, but that doesn't even make sense. With a 95 mil place you probably can afford an office somewhere or, like the original prompt suggests, you're magically rich so you're probably not working anymore.

You can even do this yourself.

That's true but I was thinking spending a ridiculous amount would attract a lot of unwanted attention, money grabbers etc and I'd want to avoid that. Spend q bit more for a nice comfortable life (get rid of mortgages and the like) but nothing that screams wealth, then set the family up when you're gone. Let nobody know unless you trust them a lot.

You'd have to live 10.000 years before you ran out of money.
Even a million per year wouldn't be enough.
Something between 13 and 20 million would be sufficient, and that's assuming you wouldn't get any interest on your money.
A million a month would come close to your goal, at 12 mil a year. That's 120 mil a decade, and if the guy is 20 and expects to live to 80, 6 decades of that is 720 mil. There's still close to 300 mil untouched.
And as you point out, that money isn't sitting under a mattress rotting while you slowly burn through it. The rate of interest alone would outstrip most reasonable expenditure. I mean, I personally can't imagine sustaining spending 1 mil every month - that's like 33 grand every day. You'd have to do something stupid like start collecting cars and boats. But everyday living expenses, even if on permanent vacation? I want to relax, and being forced to spend 33k daily isn't relaxing.
Blubbey ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:38:29 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'd prefer not to do that tbh, id like to live modestly and not attract too much attention. Pay off mortgages, debts etc, do some nice things for the people closest to you, invest decently so you're still earning and set the family up for eternity.
I mean, a billion dollars is a lot. Unless you start reaching into "i lost my fucking mind" territory and do something completely moronic like start collecting boats, most people will barely be able to put much of a dent into it if their version of "irresponsible" merely means being on permanent vacation and doing a lot of sightseeing and eating out, not hoarding useless crap like I mentioned above with boats.
Provided the guy doesn't go full retard, assuming a monthly expenditure of 1 million bucks is merely 12 mil a year, and 120 mil a decade. If you're 20 and life expectancy says you'll reach 80 (face it, most of us know many people who die long before reaching that age), that's 6 decades and 720 mil spent.
1 mil a month is like 33+ grand a day. I don't know about you but I can't imagine sustaining that kind of expenditure without being a complete moron, like starting a boat/airplane collection. I could hire a damn mariachi band to follow me all day and not come close to spending $33k a day.
Finally, the money isn't just sitting under your mattress while you chip away at it either, like the other guy pointed out you can have a management company handle it for you.
This thread will likely be read mostly by average Joes who will never even see anything remotely close to that kind of money in their life. When they do get that kind of money, you think they'll want to continue doing things like dealing with business affairs? Where they have to treat other people seriously and deal with all the attendant bullshit? Also, last I checked the stock market was full of people doing srs bzns, not relaxing and enjoying themselves.
Sure, there are some people who get off on being productive, more power to them, but after being handed a free billion I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people will more likely be looking forward to a permanent retirement free from all the problems of the rat race.
Seriously. If I woke up with 1 billion I wouldn't be worried about changing my lifestyle immediately, I'd probably get totally blitzed for a week in a secret location to deal with the idea that I just received real-life "Fuck You" money.

If I'd already earned a billion dollars doing those things, why would I bother to continue to do them? I'd hand the business over to someone else and basically do a runner with the money.
No one who's earned a billion dollars has that mindset. Because anyone with that mindset would have done the same thing around $10 million.

Good point, although I think 10 million would be a little of a low figure, personally, at least for a business. If the business is generating a constant flow of income to me, and there's no other issues, I'd want to stay long enough to make sure I absolutely have as much as I would ever want. 10 million is a lot, but you could burn that on a single mansion (if you want it customised and stuff). And I'd probably want to give a fair bit to family and abused dogs or something. So, I'd probably cut ties around 50 million max, depending on the circumstances.
No... somebody manages your money for you when you have a billion dollars. You really don't have to do shit. You get bored though - you get involved with charities and non-profits, etc.
No no, that's how you get the billion to begin with. Once you're only a shell of the person your mother raised, having committed unspeakable atrocities to aquire your wealth, you attempt to atone by giving back. Or you run for president.
Usually billionaire are self made. They are generally the ones handling there money. They are probably busy as heck and have a schedule months in advance
Having gamed a long time and with people around the world, this is not true.
There are lots of people I've played with from Dubai who treat video games like any other expensive hobby. They will buy a pet lion, or some other exotic animal to show off. They will buy 200k USD+ sports cars... and then buy the new model when it comes out, or when they crash/abuse them and just buy another one in a few months.
And they treat video games the same way. Will play it and dump absurd amounts of money into the games until they "win" or get bored and go to the next thing.
I've seen players like this dump 10's of thousands of USD into games like nothing. Pay to fly people they game with out to visit them, go on months long travel where they visit/game with people, sometimes pay for them to come along with them for all/part of it, etc.

Back in original World of Warcraft days, a guy in my guild was a multi millionaire from Romania. Our guild leader's PC broke, and he was just a poor college kid with no money to fix it. Romanian guy told him to go online and find whatever PC he wanted, and he would buy it for him. He did the same thing about six months later when our raid leader's monitor died.
He also bought gold and accounts all of the time in WoW. If an account had a rare recipe on it, and the owner was thinking about quitting, he would offer to buy it. For example, when the recipe for the Biznick's 3% hit scope was removed, he bought a guy's account that already had it learned, just so that we would have the recipe in guild to make for our members.
Fairly normal price where I'm at, mate. When I lived in a much smaller town here a few years ago, I was paying $400 / month flat (including utilities) for a nice little 1 bedroom, with a decent little kitchen and living room.
Long Island branches into a northern and southern fork out towards it's eastern end. The Hamptons are a collection of towns/villages/hamlets on the southern fork.
Most of those place are rarely lived in as they are were bought by russians and chinese and were and still are basically empty. When Obama restricted the sale from russians after the shoot down of malaysian airlines and after china curtailed its citizens last year from buying foreign real estate the ny super luxury housing boom took a big hit. Too bad that there are at least 5 more super tall skyscapers already in construction.
157 also has a similar issue. I remember investors bough one of the two penthouses as an investment but its still not "sold"

Your snarky comment displays a serious lack of understanding of how construction financing and commercial real estate financing works. Do you think Kushner (or any developer) is on the hook for the debt? It's non-recourse backed by the RE itself, he has no guarantees up other than standard bad boy carve outs. He's also very little of the equity in any of "his" deals.
I unfortunately have to agree though he was absolutely gutted in the 666 purchase. He already sold off the most profitable part of that building, the ground floor retail business.
I'm sure someone who's got 95 million dollars to buy an apartment also has 50 bucks to buy a large rug and 500 bucks to buy a snug sofa. And this is probably the type of person that would want to throw out the included sofa, rug, and TV, and replace it with more "tasteful" ones, so when you're selling real estate at this level, it's best to just stage it with temporary/prop furniture and not actually sell furnishings with it. Your 95 million dollar customer wants a high-quality box that they can decorate and furnish themselves and would take it as an affront if you tried to throw in a cheap couch with it.
Another thing is, people at this level of wealth don't really associate tight, warm spaces with comfort - they like wide open spaces, hard surfaces, and keeping the A/C low because they can afford all of those things, and all of those things have their own appeal if you're not used to cramped spaces that you can line with fur like a 70's pornset and call "cozy".

I'm sure someone who's got 95 million dollars to buy an apartment also has 50 bucks to buy a large rug and 500 bucks to buy a snug sofa.
Sure, and once you've dropped that rug and sofa into your 1200sqft living space, you're still going to have to shout to someone at the far end to make yourself heard.
The space is fabulous, the view is unbeatable. But one of those bedrooms would absolutely become a snug.
I know a farmer who lives in a "small" stately home1 .
It's enormous - big tall rooms, high-ceilinged kitchen, huge formal drawing room, dining rooms and a "games room" which comfortably swallows a full-size snooker table.
And that's all great. But they also have a little room off to the side with a couple of big squishy sofas, a standard 2.4m/8ft ceiling where they can light the wood-burner, put a movie on and not have to worry about heating the big rooms!
I don't understand how someone could be "cosy" in a room with room >3m high and a floor-plan of hundreds of sq.ft - where would you put yourself in the evening?!
\1. So no, they are not "super wealthy", but I guess they are millionaires in terms of net wealth. The guy's dad was a farmer, and they grew his farm bit by bit. They snapped up quite a bit of cheap land in the 80s when the Lloyd's LMX Crisis bit and several local landowners sold land to cover their losses (Lloyd's had traditionally recruited lots of farmers and landowners into it's under-writing syndicates - it was relatively low-risk and high-return).
Their farm had been a tenancy within a much larger historic estate and eventually the big house (which was actually the guest wing and servant's quarters for the really big house, which was demolished in the 1950s when the money ran out!) came up for sale, so they bought that on the cheap. In terms of assets they're comfortably millionaires, but they're not swilling around 6-figures in personal, liquid wealth, and certainly not the sort of people who would drop $95m on a condo!).
So those images above are just the base shit the apt come with, you can add stuff obviously xD plus you can live a comfortable life without ever leaving the building. There is a gym, a pool, and a grocery story all within the building.
Everything is white or beige. The furniture looks uncomfortable. Kitchen looks cold. Needs some color to warm things up, some rugs and comfy, cozy furniture. Apparently the obscenely rich go for the edgy look that says no humans actually live here.
I'm now considered in the "poor people" category given the area I live in. 55k doesn't go very far in Northern Virginia, but I do have a library in my house. Who needs a formal dining room anyway! Heh!
It works for us. We added French doors to the widest opening and a single matching door to the passway from the kitchen so that the room is closed off to a point. Hopefully when we sell the buyers will like it too.

Seriously, I get minimalism and open floor plans, but the way this is designed feels so cavernous and empty. With all the white and all the huge windows, it feels more like someone forgot to add walls to the outside of the building, and the high ceilings and huge light fixtures make the space feel more like a nightclub (or a Don Pablo's) than a living space. Even in the marketing pictures, I should be able to feel the warmth - this feels cold, sterile, and devoid of life at all.

I think that's actually what it's for, almost no one who owns a condo there actually lives there full time.
My problem with high rises has always been hauling stuff in and out. Need a new tv? Gotta haul it 30 floors up in a cramped elevator. That countertop was possibly craned up and put in through the window.
As someone who rents on the 26th floor of a building...it's not bad. They call the freight elevator down for you, and you get an elevator all to yourself for you, or your delivery guys.
For people who can afford to live in 432 Park, they're likely not hauling anything up their themselves.

Oh man. I respect your opinion, but high ceilings and wide open views are exactly what Iโd love to have in a place where I live. It feels open and freeing.
Oh sure, but you need somewhere to retreat to sometimes as well. Those rooms are fabulous with views to die for. But sometimes you don't want to be sat on a sofa in an echoey, 1200sqft lounge - you want your cave with a log burner, sofa, TV, etc.
That place is amazing, but one of the bedrooms would be getting converted into a snug for sure.
EDIT: On closer inspection, Bedroom 5 is labelled "/Family Room" (and Bedroom 6 / Office). So yeah, it's expected that there are times you want something a bit more compact around you.

Wow. That's laid out quite smart. The entrance gallery connects to living room and dining room for entertaining. Doors branch out to the kitchen and private areas of the home.
Kinda drooling here.
Still. What happens when you lose on the 50th floor or whatever.
Probably in Aspen. You know the owner will spend maybe 1/5 of their time here versus their cozy mountain chateau, the beach front, the country estate, the weekend villa...
You're supposed to pay several million dollars more to refinish it using you own interior designer. That apartment is designed to be clean, simple, and appealing to a wide audience.
Yeah I mean it isnt all hard work. You do need connections and luck to get to the 1%. I'm just saying you also don't have a lot of TV time if you're a top neurosurgeon or a wall street executive or something.
The 1% couldn't afford anything like the Penthouse of 432 Park even if they spent their entire life in the 1% and had this as their sole financial goal in life.
Unless you have the paper white one, it really is a strain on your eyes.
And personally I have trouble focusing on what I'm reading if it's not out a physical book. That's probably just a pavlovian thing that won't affect the next generation, though.

How could a regular kindle be harsher on the eyes than a book?
Most people don't buy a dedicated kindle for reading, they just use a tablet and it leads to a lot of eye strain.
BCMike ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 12:50:00 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Then what you said is misleading. I don't disagree that tablets would cause more eye-strain than a book. But you said most people use a tablet for reading e-books, whereas in my experience "most people" use a dedicated e-reader. I would imagine that for most people, when you say "Kindle" they assume the e-reader and not the tablet.
I'm gonna look into this a little bit because I'm interested in seeing whether more people have Kindle e-readers or Kindle tablets. Because I can't see actual sales, I'm going to assume that the ratio of people who review products after buying them is roughly constant, regardless of whether it's a tablet or an e-reader.
Product vs number of reviews at time of posting:
Kindle Paperwhite: 16,445
Kindle Voyage: 3,238
Kindle: 2,916
Kindle Fire 8": 2,896
Kindle Fire 7": 2,548
Kindle Fire 10": 253
Total e-reader reviews: 22,599
Total tablet reviews: 5,697
This doesn't even take into account those buying Kindle tablets who aren't interested in using them as e-readers. So I'm going to conclude that, in the context of e-books, when you say "Kindle", most people will think you're talking about the e-reader.
I don't think I even know more than two people who have e-readers. I used to have a Nook, but it hasn't been turned on in years.
BCMike ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:28:20 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
And I know barely anyone with a tablet, and know nobody who uses tablets for reading ebooks. Anecdotes aren't good evidence.
Besides, the point of discussion is, when people hear/read the word "Kindle" do they think of the e-reader or the tablet? My evidence suggests they think of the e-reader.
Another argument for this is that Kindles are perhaps the most popular dedicated e-reader, whereas Kindle Fires are nowhere near the most popular tablet.
Your personal anecdote isnโt super relevant to the conversation. Nearly all of my close friends and family use an e-reader. Neither of our limited personal experiences is necessarily representative of the total population.
Do you sell Kindle's or something? You're putting a lot of work into telling me I'm wrong.

Whatโs with this โKNAWLAGEโ shit? I enjoy a good non-fiction book now and then, but most of my books are things like Stephen King and F Paul Wilson and Sue Grafton and Robert Crais.
Iโm not the kind of person who boasts about having a near genius IQ and ability to read four books a day. Iโm the kind of person who watches The Death of Eric Cartman for the fiftieth time because if I sit down to watch Netflix, I will spend the length of a movie trying to figure out what I want to watch, and by then itโs time to do something else.
Just a throw to Tai Lopez, the guy on the YouTube ads that talks about making all kinds of money and shit because he loves KNAWLAGE. It's a bunch if BS that is supposed to be a get rich quick scheme.
The real problem with that deck is how chilly and windy it be at 1100-1300 feet.
Probably a patio that'll never get used except on the hottest of hot days.

Peasants. Even villagers have bookshelves in their houses.
All that money and the stove isn't ceramic. Seriously, once you get used to not setting stuff down on it (it's nearly flush with the rest of the counter so you have to remind yourself that you can't or you melt a few plastic measuring cups) it's amazing. Fairly quick to heat up and so easy to clean.
I would turn one of those rooms into a library, with floor to ceiling (2 stories of course) books and some of those ladders that slide across the shelves. Just off one end of the library I would have a glass enclosed reading room, with big stuffed comfy chair and a half's with ottomans , lots of cashmere throws and a brilliant fireplace made of river rock. Above the reading room I would have an observation deck, complete with a high powered telescope to view the stars.
Besides those rooms, and the pool, kitchen and bathroom I probably would never use the rest of the apartment.
Edit: Add; I would probably let those other rooms out occasionally to my fellow redditors who are visiting NYC. But only if they know the secret password!
Besides the view and the pool, most of that looks terrible to actually live in. I like the cosy feel that my small row home has. That thing looks like a bank.
Yeah I couldnโt help thinking that place looks like it would be cold as fuck.
Though I suppose if you have enough money to afford itin the first place, you can certainly afford the heating bill.

Apparently New York has absurdly strong heating anyways. Like all the rooms are constantly sweating temperature in the dead of winter.
I agree, and it's not because I could never afford it, but it's so gray and looks like it's cold all year round.

If I were a billionaire I wouldn't pick an apartment aimed at pretentious pseudo-intellectuals with its "rustic" use of raw marble furnishings.
You can find these types of homes at every price point, and there's been variations of these avant-garde homes for many decades.
The only part that should make you feel bad is the gorgeous view. Beyond that you're free to hate/love the open concept design and crazy amounts of white stone.
Well that's mostly because it's just staged for selling or whatever. It's intentionally trying to make the focus on the actual building and views and not have personality... presumably, you would decorate it yourself.

..... 1 columbus circle had the same issue, it used to be the most expensive address in manhattan I believe it used to be called the aol time warner buildings, anyway the penthouse was bought for at the time I believe 50 million and was gutted (it already was furnished) and then refurnished for about the same cost as it was bought (the owner put in expensive artwork which easily matches the cost of the apartment)

I cannot imagine spending such an enormous amount of money to live there, no matter how much you have... like, how much money can you possibly have that that is not a significant amount to you?
And it does not look the least bit homey or comforting - it would feel like living in an office or at the airport. The nice part of the airport, obviously, the fancy lounge... but still, very generic and cold. Maybe you could have someone open a starbucks in the kitchen.
There must be cosier places that still have tall ceilings, good views, lots of windows and open floor plans.
Yeah... given that construction began in '12 (completed in '15 & the tallest residential building in the world, second tallest in NYC,)... one wonders if maybe you'd have had a little better view than you'd want.
Eh, too many sharp edges and right angles. All the white and marble makes it look cold. I'd much rather something with more wood finish and warmer tones.
I feel they missed a trick by not having the pool meet up against the window

It looks really amazing and I'm sure I'd love it... but I feel like (and this may just be me) I'd get bored of it very quickly. I mean the view is incredible and all, but at the end of the day you're looking at spending millions on something you could get for a lot less money without the incredible view.
I honestly feel like if I were to get a shit ton of money, I'd still live somewhat frugally because it's the way I've always been and spending good money, even money I can afford, on something like that would seem like a waste to me.
It's definitely huge and luxurious, but also seems weirdly badly arranged. I bet I could come up with better ways to arrange a big apartment than just "Hey, there's a lot of space in this room, so let's get five sofas and twelve armchairs".

It find it has all the warmth of a solitary-confinement cell in a supermax prison, but to each their own.
Looking through those pictures, I felt inordinate worry for that croissant sitting on the ledgeโone stiff breeze and some poor sap a thousand feet below is getting hit in the face with breakfast traveling at terminal velocity.
Wow. The bedroom looks nice and warm, but the rest looks cold, hard, and uninviting. Maybe you develop a taste for that kind of style once you become able to purchase a $95,000,000 apartment.
So theres 1 penthouse at the top of the tower. But the article also says condos are in the tower and then it says apartments. Are the others condos or apartments. Theres a difference and it matters
I'll never be able to experience having a long refreshing bath in that bathtub on a clear summer evening while drinking a beer, and that makes me incredibly sad.
For the kitchen alone it would be worth it. Which reminds me, I would get a house big enough that I can have my dream kitchen built with all the stuff I could possibly think of and then hire a cook to cook my meals for me^
Its about personal space. Honestly. If you lived with a partner in a small bathroom you come to realize that even if you love each other you will have conflicts with where your stuff goes in the bathroom. Usually the biggest contention is the gf makeup put all over the sink and taking up a huge amount of space. Looking at twitter of some celebrity posts of their bathrooms it seems the same where they have makeup taking at least 30 percent of the countertop of the sink space. So yeah why not separate when you can. That's why his and her's closets are a thing and even though sexist, the woman's closet space is bigger usually by 2X
oh you editted your post to say bath together instead of share the bathroom together!
It means you are helping the owner of the building pay for building maintenance and insurance. Itโs part of the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC & R) document that you sign upon purchasing that basically outlines what youโre allowed to do in your $95 million palace.

In the UK, there's leasehold for apartments. So you "buy" the place and the landowner "leases" you the apartment for anywhere between 150 to 999 years. But effectively, everyone still acts like they are a homeowner.

You're well versed. Do you work in real estate? Wanna have a mentee?
I do not work in real estate, but I own a business which leases a commercial property and my lease has similar language. For commercial property itโs called a Triple Net (NNN) Lease where you basically agree to share a pro-rated portion of your landlords insurance, maintenance, and real estate tax expense based on the % of the property you occupy.

CC is actually common charges. It's basically like rent except you own your apartment. You don't need to be rich to pay them, a standard small co-op apartment here costs a about a mill and will pay a couple thousand in common charges per month. That's not a typo... you can buy a million dollar (That's pretty cheap here) apartment and still have to pay rent.
D14DFF0B ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:14:32 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's because in a co-op, you are renting. When you buy a co-op, you're purchasing shares that grant you ownership of the corporation, than in turn grants you can exclusive lease on the unit.
Also, co-op monthly maintenance fees include property taxes. For condos, those are usually a separate line item.
bxblox ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:27:34 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Even in condos though you'll effectively pay the same fee as maintenance or something. Buying an apartment is just a "right to rent" an apartment at (closer to) cost, and "right to sell the right to rent". Aside from co-ops where everyone else has a say in who you can sell that right to. See: old money park ave.

Yeah, there's a bunch of annoying variations to these arrangements. If the building doesn't have a bunch of difficulties with underselling, defaults, et al, the difference would be pretty negligible though. A building this high profile is unlikely to go under. The fluctuating monthlies wont matter much to anyone with enough money to buy in, if they really want to be there.
The website lists unit PH95 at $82 million. I saw the Forbes article on Google from 2014 that mentioned $95 million but I didn't open it (I'll never open a Forbes article again)
I wonder if the price has really dropped $13 million.
I use Adblock. I've already whitelisted all of the websites and YouTube channels I regularly use/watch, even the ones I already have paid subscriptions to (like Rooster Teeth for Funhaus) because I want to support them. Forbes doesn't even let me have a chance to see if their content is worth supporting, so I've boycotted them for ages.

I'm sitting here thinking that if you don't force yourself to live in New York and go somewhere else, that kind of money can buy you a whole town and a small paramilitary organization to guard it.
Check out what just $4 million will get you in Carmel, Indiana (ranked best place in America to live). Not only is the decor far more inviting as a place to live, it's rocking 7 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and a movie theater on a cozy little 24-acre wooded lot.
Spent the other $90 million to buy out all the neighbors and move your friends into their own mansions, build your own airport so you don't have to drive across the city to fly places, and jet to New York with your buds any time you want to pretend that being there is worth the ridiculous cost.
I've lived in suburbs, NYC, DC, and have family/friends in the country.
I definitely would not want to live out there, no matter how cheap the land/housing is.
That said, I wouldn't want to live in NYC either...
If you are that rich, you pay for exclusivity. Why is it so expensive? Because its the only one in NYC, maybe the only one with that kind of view in the world. Because you can say to your friends that you can.
When you're that rich, maybe you do wanna live in a place like Carmel, but you'll buy Park anyway just to show it off. Or if you just happen to be in town.
Am I the only one wondering if any of the windows have blinds? You can't walk around naked all day because anyone with a decent camera can see you from the surrounding buildings.
Honestly i feel like i would be so bored otherwise.

I'm so confused. People are calling this an apartment, yet multiple comments are referring to "buying" it, which would make it a... house? Or, a unit?

I thought it's owned apartment vs rented apartment? Idk what else people say. Condo is different thing I think?
A "unit" sounds more appropriate, but I think they are still literally referred to as apartments? I don't know what you'd call it, but it's not really a house or a condo, right? I'd assume that you buy the space and don't pay "rent," but there might be other fees associated because it's still inside a giant building that you don't own outright, which inevitably has a lot of maintenance.

don't get me wrong, it's pretty in a fancy hotel sorta way. but I'd need somewhere to lay out my pointless trinkets. it isn't a home without some pointless trinkets
The thing is, people at that wealth level usually want something bland so that they can put their own touch on it. You take one of these minimalist blocky apartments and put some quirky-yet-tasteful rich-people furniture out, have bright flowers on coffee tables and dressers and stuff, and little knick-knacks and splashes of color here and there, and it becomes a marvelous display of a place.
They stage the model units like that because the buyers will essentially rip everything out and put in whatever they want. Why waste too much money on decor when that's the case?
buildings in nyc are built to the highest standards. Weirdly you do not evacuate if there is a fire in most buildings, you shelter in place, close the fireproof door and place wet towels so smoke does not come in. You wait until the fire people come and evacuate you if your floor is on fire. Also the building while tall is super skinny meaning the penthouse eats the two two floors and most places only have 2-3 residences per floor

No, dear; there is a reason the term "new money" exists.
No, but money does buy maids and housekeepers, personal chefs, the best personal trainers and the best clothes, the best haircuts and grooming, you'll never clean your own clothes again, you don't even have to drive your own car if you don't want to (though I personally will want to drive my Bugatti).

Socialites are all about the parties. It sounds made up but it's very true. The parent company I work for owns a luxury skin care line that runs about $250 a jar for foundation. They give it away to socialites on the upper east side to share with their friends at luncheons. The thought is that they'll be return customers.
I went to an intro to the company meeting and they informed us of these people's lifestyles. Apparently it's not uncommon for one of them to go into a Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman and drop $5k in one trip.
It's absolutely meant for entertaining. If you have 95 million dollar penthouse money, what the fuck do you think you do all day? You certainly aren't punching a time clock.
NO it's not a given or a rule. I can buy a lot of land that's 20 mil in the hearth of a major city, then built a house that's 10 mil in materials and 3 mil in work hours...a stunnign house wiht wide open spaces that's eventually valued not at a total of 33 but 50 or 60 million. And gues what ? I''l use it to sleep in it, park my cars, have a cinema, tennis court, mini golf, baseball/footbal mixed field..whiel some may require ''friends'', other activities wil require none.
Agreed but the once nice thing about living above 40 floors is that you cannot hear anything. No more city noises above it aka the horn beeps, the yelling, the construction work, subway noises. Its just really really almost eerily quiet in a loud place.
It gets real old if you live near a subway line especially the express trains where you hear the constant rumble......... Had gf that lived near one and my god! If I had that kind of money yes I would like to have a sanctuary in the concrete jungle. I live in the suburbs and now with the constant leaf blowers drive me nuts at 7 am........
A billion dollars would easily get me the best soundproofing money could buy. Heck, I'd get the top floor, the roof too, deck it out with solar panels and start making money from all the power I was generating. It would be so insulated, and so quiet.
Also its not soo much soundproofing as the whole building shakes and rattles when the train comes by. Remember these subway lines are some of the oldest lines in the world and have never really been updated to modern rails.
Also you don't make as much money as you think from solar. The penthouse op talks about is I believe 4000 square feet. That is not a lot of solar power. I believe common charges is 20,000 dollars a month there.
No I wouldn't make a living, but I would make some money. Obviously as a billionaire that would be neither here nor there but I would feel good about it. You make a house insulated enough you'll would need very little in the way of heating costs and that's easily the biggest expenditure.
Also, my reply was to someone else who said they'd buy the 95 million dollar apartment in NYC, if I were to live in NYC I was saying I would choose another. Plus, I never mentioned living by a subway either ...
Of I've been eyeing a LEEDS platinum house build for a while. You should look into ICF intergrated concrete form then.
In nyc you kind of have to live near a subway to live. I mean it can be faster than a taxi and uber and surprisingly millionaires ride as well. And your rent is proximity to how close it is to the subway but too close and its cheap again!
I can relate. I lived near a grade school a few years back, I guess I can understand when I was home from college and the kids were still in school so may? where you would hear the kids doing their thing during lunch.

It even has the long bedroom so your bitches/male bitches have to slow walk from the bathroom. This place is swanky af. Make this a +1. If it ever happens to me, I'll buy you the floor above/below and have it remodeled to the exact and it's yours.

I'm slowly getting there myself with hand made and cheap ass items i can find for relatively low cost that i can do up. But this for sure - i'd buy brand new state of the art fucking everything ! CNC routers, mills, drills, bandsaw, table saw, japanese damascus chisels, molten salt heat treating baths, numerous belt grinders and just for good measure - gold plate them all ! nothing says im wealthy and have money to waste like a gold plated, diamond encrusted hammer.

How often do you daydream design that workshop. I keep having to add more imaginary floor space to mine.
Hours. There is a YouTuber under essentialcraftsman who has a great shop that Iโm in love with. The crane hoist in the center of the shop gets me hard.
Only thing I would really add to his setup is a small area to chill with couch to nap on and a beer fridge.
Oh man, I love his shop! I just found him on YouTube last week and Iโm overly impressed.

Right now I'm building a tool wall in my garage. Every hanging piece is hand built and the base to my work bench is a 300 pound steel saw horse. I do all my stuff on the cheap and in time.
So many imaginary creative spaces. Workshop for wood and metal. Huuuge electronics workbench. Art studio. Kitchen. Tuning garage. Chemistry lab (shut up you also wanted one when you were a kid)

Im a chemist by trade so it would be nice to work from home. So much exotic glassware would be bought/made.
I get what you're saying, but I would hardly call that a waste. I personally think that would be money very well spent. For the record, I have no interest in being a woodworker.

I feel you should do both but i grew up with a wood shop. My family spent generations doing metal work in Los Angeles. I am the first generation that does not get to retire from that company...
I am an electrician. So I just get the whole craftsman/making thing aspect. It is extremely fulfilling, and I honestly believe it can make you a better person. I truly hope you get to do it. Also, take advantage of any mentors you can. Learning from experienced people is wonderful.
Ahhh I found my people. mansions and new york apartments? ugh. I want to make the most amazing makerspace money could buy.

I have been poor most of my life. We can all make a change in life. I recently bought a house with a 5 car garage and am currently buying tools to fill it. I buy them used on Craig's list and other places (I'm not rich or anything). Work hard and make good choices in work and or money and it is possible. I was making 30k a year 4 years ago and decided I wanted a change and sacrificed to get a job that pays 100k plus a year. The job requires physical labour but pays well.
Yes yes tell me about this job please sir/mam. I do physical labor now and ever since I got out of highschool and I'm dirt poor.

Ok so I was a UPS worker then manager and hated i t so I quit. I went and got my CDL and drove for a few months and hated that as well. I got home after a long road run and my wife told me about an interview going on down at the work force services. I had been up for 30 plus hours but I took a shower and put on a suit a d went to the interview. I had no idea what it was for by the way. It turns out it was for working in the oil fields. I work for schlumberger and have been doing it for 4 years and it has been pretty good. Now this industry does have it's down turns but if you make good choices you can easily survive. I have my CDL and I went and got hazmat with tanker and this can save your job. We had lay offs a few years ago and due to having a CDL and training for my company there was zero chance I would lose my job. I work 2 weeks straight and then have 6 or 7 days off. I just took 2 weeks off so I have a month off due to the week off at both ends. I do t always love my job but overall I am happy. The only other thing I think I would do is go work for the rail road. Look into union Pacific or others like that. They have a pension and starting pay tends to be around 60k and you get to work outside. This is if you live in the US. Also if you live in California look into being a lineman I know one who makes 200k plus a year.
I really appreciate the reply! I'll have to look at what's available around me (south Louisiana) there's plenty of plant work that pays decent but I'm not a fan of all the chemicals floating around. Sadly there's not much unionized work down here. But again I really appreciate it! I'm trying to get out of electrical because it's crap work and pay isn't good unless you own a business.

Thanks for the encouragement, I am in the process of changing careers currently but it'll be while longer yet. I'm making about 30k now which is already better than the ~12k I made 2 years ago.
Man this is off topic, but a part of me has always really wanted to get into this, like working with metal and wood to make cool shit, as like a hobby or something, but I am terrible at managing my time already between school, video games, shows, lurking on the internet, and eventually a job that adding another thing onto that is asking for trouble. no real point to this, just going on a tangent for a bit.

Lol we lived on a street a while ago where a guy literally did this. He built a business from nothing and sold it for 10 million dollars. Instead of moving he spent time buying 4 houses around his house. They now have a huge yard and work shop. They also have an awesome yard. Behind there house there is a public/private park that has an outdoor concert venue for about 1000 people. That park has concerts from famous bands and people all summer and the after parties are done in this guys backyard. I think this might be the best thing I have ever seen and is something to aspire to.

Ya we just bought a house but in looking we almost bought a house 15 minutes out of town that had 32 acres and a large out building that would have been perfect for this. This will be my retirement or maybe when the kids move out.
Was going to post this but then i saw ures. A fully equipped workshop for woodworking and blacksmithing would be so amazing. The possibilities are endless!
Yea, for sure. I wouldnt know how to use any of it, but gosh darnit, i'll be bored out of my mind.

You should probably throw in a machine shop and metalworking shop while you're at it.
It's an achievable dream. It only took me a couple years to set up my forge, and about a year to collect enough tools to do most everything in woodworking. Granted, I went with mostly antique tools instead of modern power-tools. This saves quite a bit of money.
I was originally working towards setting up a machine shop, but it turns out my local hackerspace has way nicer tools than anything I'll likely ever be able to afford.
Definitely this! Every time I start a new woodworking project I dream of having a huge, super tidy, state of the art shop with every tool, machine, and hardware at my disposal. Most importantly, an endless supply of lumber, all the exotic hardwoods primarily. Just wish I could also buy some extra time to do the work

Take a nap and then start cooking dinner. Vacations like you see on TV. Just 6 week guided tours of every where. Hopefully I could find a nice lady who would like to come along with me. Then when I die I would just give it all away to someone else who I thought was deserving, with like a book of the tricks and dangers of finding a windfall of this magnitude, to just help them out you know. Hopefully they could quietly carry on the tradition, just invest and when you pass give it to another deserving soul, with their spin on how to live rich.

Call me boring or warped by the world, but the most extravagantly lavish thing I can think of is quitting my job and not finding a new one. With a billion dollars I wouldn't have to go back to work, and that's the most extravagant shit I can imagine at this point as a 25 year old.
According to a cursory reading of the Wikipedia article, building the Hyperloop would cost between $6B and $100B, so someone waking up with $1B wouldn't be able to build one. Guess even billionaires can't have everything.
Who knew that it was MrPoopHole that would rid the world of Nuclear missiles? After buying all of the retired ones, owners of the active ones will shut theirs down to do the same. Kim Jong Un will want to make his the most badass out of hatred, and it probably will be, but he won't invite anyone, by the time he realizes retired missile silo clubs are only useful with revenue and tries to turn it back into a running silo, it'll be too late, North Koreans will have migrated to other countries for some good times and shameful nights, and he'll see that the real key to power over the world, was friendship all along.

And a fairly good amount of primitive land around it if I remember correctly. I believe it also borders on a Federal Park. Civilization takes a crap it would give you good hunting and foraging options.
Ive spent years now. Never having the means to barely live here. Where is here...well its where you wanna be. But there becomes a time where we move along. And for me and mine...Nee york.....dreams dont come true here. This was the dream
I remember seeing those listings a few years back. That seems extremely cheap to me. I have to imagine the silos require a huge amount of abatement. There must be a high level of lead and asbestos that needs to be abated which could easily cost in the hundreds of thousands. Or it could be that just bringing it up to building code could require an insane amount of money, I mean they are old relics that the government probably stripped the electrical out of and walked away. The logistics of making this a livable building that complies with all building code is probably near impossible. I'm not even sure a municipality could even permit something like this.

There's videos on youtube from a guy exploring a silo he'd purchased... one of his 'oh shit' moments was noticing the pitch of his voice changed when he went into one of the confined spaces. He was no longer breathing air, but some other gas. Luckily he survived.
Hardly any of them have a fully pimped out silo. Most are run down and have water damage. I still have not seen a vertical cylinder silo pimped out yet, I see some box ones that hold a nuclear truck launcher pimped out but not the cylinder ones.

Some of us might even have an actual real sword or two - Cold Steel counts, as do Japanese swords captured during WWII.
If you donโt have swords and/or guns, bring your favorite EDC knives. No knife? Weโre gonna need flashlights and batteries!
What? You donโt have batteries, flashlights, knives, swords ammo and/or guns? Not even the mall ninja swords? Airsoft! Have you got Airsoft weapons? You guys can hold the perimeter and work with the BB and pellet gun guys and threaten to put peopleโs eyes out.
No, you donโt have any of that stuff? Ok. You guys take your fidget spinners and wait over there. If an outsider comes over and ask whatโs going on, act nervous and show them how long your spinner spins.
DMs and GMs, we expect a fully fleshed out campaign on or about December 1st.
Edit- I didnโt purposefully leave out axes, machetes, pole arms, etc. you guys group up beside the Cold Steel, Atlanta Cutlery, and Noble Collection folks. Donโt get too close if the Cold Steel guys start fooling around with the ribs and brisket that were provided for the afternoon tailgate party.
And stay way the fuck away from the dude wanging away at that 50 gallon steel drum. That one might be my husband.

I'd turn it into multi floored bar/club, with circular stairs going around the edge from top to bottom. Every floor has a different theme and only serves particular drinks. At the top, you can only buy green glowing shots, because that's where the warhead was. At the bottom you can only buy drinks that are set on fire because that's where the rocket exhausts used to be, etc. If you make trouble, you're kicked out into space.

Just FYI, theres a bit obscure fallout-style roleplay gathering called Junktown in Czech Republic (think its every year, you can google some pics easily) and few years back they bought a retired military missile base where the event is happening.
seeing as how most of these silos are in the middle of nowhere in the great plains it wouldn't take much to have the hottest underground club in the area.
shit man, you don't need to be a billionaire to pull that off. You can buy some bunkers here (although only about 15,000 sq ft) for under 300k. Although it looks like somebody already beat you to it.

Only problem is that those silos are usually in the middle of nowhere and covered in tetanus. Better move would be to buy an old park in the city, then build a bunker under that.

There's a YouTube series about a regular family renovating an abandoned silo they bought. It is a ton of work, but being a billionaire, you could afford a crew large enough to knock the project out it a couple months.
Having helped clean-out and refurbish an old Atlas-F silo, I can tell you that would be a HELL of a lot of work. Most of them were flooded after they were decommissioned and the blast doors were left open to the elements so Soviet satelites could confirm the missiles were gone. Youโre talking a giant, rusted, moldy, toxic-waste-filled mess. Also, the layout isnโt really conducive to having a lot of people in them.
Fun fact: the main silo is deep enough that the whole Statue of Liberty could fit inside it.

I'm living with negative money, so I'm not going to do it - but I've definitely thought about it.
A few days of wearing? I really hope that's a typo.

Not the same as fresh every time, but I did recently threw all my socks out and bought 20 pairs of the exact same primark socks; now I never have to pair them up and I never have odd socks. When one looks worn I can chuck it out and not worry about lacking a full pair.
I did this recently as well, one of the best moves I've made in my life. Thinking of buying 16 more pairs while I can still find the exact same sock type so they all last twice as long.
Ive been doing this for a few years but now K-Mart has discontinued my socks! Im going to have to start again from scratch. Still hunting for the perfect socks.
We call that philosophy "Walmart" here in the states.

Just bulk buy a box from China on aliexpress every year it will cost you less than you pay now for socks. That's a fucking good idea might do that myself.
I do this! But I have little feet so I buy kids socks which are a bit cheaper. It works out at about ยฃ93 a year for new socks every day but I often get socks as gifts, my friend bought me about 25 new pairs for my birthday last week so I'm way ahead of myself. I do wear my old socks more than once but I change my socks 2-3 times a day and I like brand new ones after a shower.
I don't have swamp feet or anything I just really like having fresh socks on. I feel like if I've just put some fresh socks on then I'm feeling happy and cosy and my life is going pretty good!
Yes, you are correct.

They didn't misunderstand it, they didn't even discuss whether they did or not and assuming as much makes you another one of the assholes you brought up.
They pointed out that all chemicals aren't bad, and people need to stop using the term "chemicals" like all chemicals = gas that killed the jews. Idk why the meme format gets you in such a tizzy on reddit, it's like 90% of this place.
Alright, you are obviously so super duper smart, tell me, what fizzymcdizzy thingledingle that can't be called chemical is causing the irritations/allergic reactions?
and people need to stop using the term "chemicals" like all chemicals
Only around pedantic idiots. When someone talks about chemicals with normal people, they imply "I don't know what the fuck this compound is, but it's a bad thing" when they talk about chemicals in a non-positive way.
Normal human beings can infer meaning from context.

The first answer I've found (which took about 2 minutes) is formaldehyde, which is indeed a toxic chemical, and would have been a great thing to bring up in place of the generic term chemical in your original post.
I got called smart and an idiot in the same post, as well as getting told that I should just treat people like they're not intelligent enough to understand the actual subject matter and it's better to use generalized terms like "chemical ooh scary". And it's only Wednesday! What a day to be alive!
Wait, so you are saying it's OK for you to indicate I'm a lesser person for not being explicit and listing every possible compound that could have been used ever in their clothing lines as to causes for allergic reactions, yet at the same time you claim other people should infer the meaning of your statements?

Primark socks are complete garbage. They literally fall apart in a manner of days. Get some half-decent socks somewhere else and you'll be much happier.
Primark socks leave my feet covered in cotton. Even after multiple washings, they literally fall apart throughout the day. At that price, they were cheaper than doing laundry when I was on vacation, but they were awful to wear and I threw them all out once I got home.

They opened a primark 15 minutes from my house (NYC) and I absolutely LOVE it. Why have you guys been keeping that away from us for so long. Definitely one of my favorite stores to shop at now.
I bought some of the thicker primark socks and they were comfortable enough. However, taking them off in the evening would release so much fluff that half the pack is still unused in my drawer.

My buddy was a mechanic and did this for years and never got any terrible skin irritation.
His logic was that buying the shittiest bulk socks at Walmart cost about as much as laundering them once you figured in the hassle of doing a separate load of whites all stained with oil and whatever else was in the shop. I wanted to fault him but he could afford it and it made perverse sense.

It's not drugs. It's just shit they coat all textiles with to make them feel softer on the rack. If you ever buy a new towel off the rack they're crazy soft, but if you try to dry anything with it, you'll notice that it doesn't absorb squat. It's covered in a waxy substance that needs to be washed off in the laundry a few times before it gets any absorbancy.

This happened to me, and I mentioned it on Reddit a long time ago. I don't know if I'm the infamous person though. Specifically they were promotional Toyota Scion socks I ended up with many boxes of after the promotion ran it's course.

My wife kept stealing my socks, so I went to Costco and bought like 4 packages and hid them. So, I basically had brand new socks everyday for like a month. My feet did have some semi serious irritation that went away when I started wearing the socks after they were washed.
Not true. One Christmas my family asked me what I wanted and I said nothing. They persisted so I asked everyone to pool together and buy me 365 pairs of socks. I wore a new pair everyday for a year, no rash. Now I will never have to buy socks for the rest of my life. I just rotate my stocks of socks and I am good to go.

I tried this lifestyle last december. I bought 56 pairs of socks since I wanted them all to be the same and interchangeable. These socks lasted me for roughly 2 months. It was nice at the beginning, but overal, ripping up the packaging every morning was a bit of a hassle, so I stopped and used socks that were worn before.
This is not boring at all when I was younger and at the store I would always beg my mother for socks, when I actually got them the first thing I did in the car was put them on. So frickin soft

Some bloke did this and got a weird condition. Basically there's a chemical on new socks from the manufacturing process that isn't harmful in small doses (ie new socks every so often) but in regular/large doses (ie new socks daily) then it can cause skin issues.
You know what's great? Darn Tough socks. They last a very long time. I've had mine for a year already, and I still get a thrill from putting them on, the same way I get a thrill from putting on a new pair.
They are the only socks I buy now. The design of my daily nonslip dress shoe will put a hole in the toe of most socks in just a couple wearings. After switching to my Darn Tough socks, I've had no holes; and if I ever do they have a lifetime warranty.
Yep. I haven't bought a single pair of socks since I got my two. I really need to get some shorter ones - the ones I have are meant for my work boots. Then I can make them the only ones I wear, too.

I would go the opposite and way and buy a month's worth of Darn Tough socks. Or maybe I'd buy less, but pay someone to do laundry for me on a weekly basis.
I do this. It's my one guilty thing that I do, I can get socks for $8 for 10 pair so it works out to about $25 a month, which is well worth the pleasure that comes from it.
I never have to sort socks. I never have to load them in the laundry. Hell, I never wash a load of whites.
Don't wait. It's totally worth it.

Few things are better than that feeling of putting on a new pair of socks for the first time.
Am I the only the that doesn't exactly love new socks? (I like the feeling but taking them off is annoying) I get sweaty feet after only a few minutes of wearing shoes usually, new socks means bits of fluff stuck all over your foot, that then means fluff all over your house because it just manages to get everywhere somehow
I did this for about a year. I now own a seabag full of socks. Also about 20 suitcases full of other clothes. And a dozen or so black trash bags full of towels. The worst part is I never did laundry, so everything sat in garbage bags until I finally got a place, about 90% of this stuff smells like mold, even after washing. So it's all pretty much garbage.
I fundamentally disagree, I think socks are better after a couple of months.
So I'll have a sock breaker on staff, who will take castings of my feet, put new socks on them, steam them up, and then mush them into a pair of my shoes for 168 hours.
That new sock fuzz tho! I would say, new socks that have been inverted and properly washed/dried, then reverted, mated, and put into my drawer. My housekeeper would be busy but i would pay them well.

I would never wear the same pair of socks twice.
My old boss used to do this. He gives his old socks away like Oprah gives away cars.
Dang I didnโt even think about that. I would probably do the year supply of MeUndies. A brand new pair of underwear every day would be awesome! Combine the two and you really have something awesome!
BOY do I have news for you! The store Journeys offers 1 year guarantee on their Journey branded socks. They will gladly swap them out for a new pack when the cushioning wears out, no questions asked. Enjoy!
It's my understanding that Michael Jordan always wore a new pair of sneakers for each game. They would then be donated to charity afterward.

"I don't know, they're laundered and sent to some charitable institution, I think. Actually, I don't know what they do with them. Maybe they turn them into dust rags or pen wipers or something like that."
I once bought around fifty pairs of socks for ยฃ5 in a street market in Amman as a Xmas present to myself and treated them as single use, it was the best month and a half of my life, fresh socks everyday and it feels so fucking baller to throw your socks in the bin at the end of the night, also no more pairing up socks coming out of the wash, would highly recommend
Holy shit dude, I feel you. A while back I got a big raise at work so to celebrate I went out and bought like 40-50 pairs of socks. I wore a brand new pair every day for over a month. It was one of the most satisfying purchases I've ever made. I hope you get your billion dollars.
You still want to wash them first. New socks are usually coated in some nasty stuff that helps keep them preserved for shipping/sitting on the shelf. You don't want it on your skin. It's like eating fruit without washing the wax off first.

I've said this to so many people, but they don't get it. For me, they don't even have to be expensive socks. Just plain black ones from a supermarket. I love new socks.
I've had the idea of a subscription based service of new socks daily. You would get enough socks for each day of the month of the first. Then when you next shipment comes in you send back last months socks in that box. The company could either repurpose the material or just do some refreshment of them.
Have you heard of whiteboy7thst on YouTube? He was one of the biggest guys when mw2 and black ops was the big thing. He actually did this, it was his way to treat himself to luxury rather than spending it all on expensive material things. I actually think it's awesome. It was great to see a guy who started in the hood on food stamps with a PS3 and a camcorder, go on to buy his own house in a suburb somewhere and be able to afford a new pair of socks every day. You really know that he appreciates what he has now, but will always remember where he came from.
My husband once accidentally got three packs of 20 pairs of socks each from my mother for Christmas (she thought she was ordering one pack, and yes I told my mother to get my husband socks for Christmas). He wore each pair one time and then threw them out. He says it was the best three months of his life.
I decided that this is what I would do with the money I saved from quitting smoking, but for some reason I just didn't do it.
I think having a plan for what I would do with the money helped me quit, really, but I don't know why I didn't go through with it.
I guess once you stop smoking there's no real point when you are completely confident that you'll never go back, so i don't feel like I quit, i just don't smoke anymore.
I suppose now is a good time to go buy some socks. It's been at least three years now.
NiceVu ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:27:55 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I read that same thing used as a tip in quitting smoking. For people who were on a pack a day, it showed that for 4 or 5 euros you can get the most luxurious socks you want and wear a new pair each day. Now I imagine there are a few people who are on more than a pack a day, I quit smoking few months ago but I myself was on 1,5 pack a day. I was smoking 20 ciggies on average but I always had to buy one pack more before going home just in case of emergency, so I bought two packs every other day.
I know someone who quit smoking by designating her cigarette money to cigarettes and socks. Every day she didn't smoke she could afford a brand new pair, so she'd stop by the corner store and buy a pair of nice socks for tomorrow. Then the new socks feeling tomorrow would remind her how nice it felt not to smoke all day and she'd use it as motivation to not smoke again.
People kept telling her she was wasting her money on all those socks but she countered that she would have been wasting her money and wasting her lungs on cigarettes anyway. She ended up giving away most of the socks when she was done to her friends.
i didn't know this but you can do this for little money. sometimes less than $1M but definitely less than $10M.
Here's a start. $83K off the coast of Ireland. I'm not so sure about that website but it looks like a good jumping off point. there's some really good ones with "price available on request" so who know which way those go. But there are some really nice ones in the $250K - $500k range. that should get your country development plans off the ground quicker.
if you're lobbying the UN anyway, might as well start by seceding from whatever country currently controls your island. can't be that hard really. why would any country care if you want to cut yourself off from their services for your 20 acres or so?

no, that's fair but most of these islands are glorified rocks with some silt on it. you're not getting a lot of natural resources out of most islands, certainly not one that's a few dozen acres or less.
Unless you have an army capable of defending you against at least whichever country you're closest to, then I think you'll be a country until someone says you're not and promptly murders you.
With a billion dollars I really would do this minus the harem and neutering. It'd be kind of pleasant to live in a reasonably nice gated community where all my neighbors are hand picked close friends and family that I get along with. Add some extra houses as perks for employees that are going to be making my life better like a nutritionist/chef, fun personal trainer, etc.

That's the flaw in that plan, then. It'd need to be all Asian women.
That isn't HuffPo's editorial board, it's a meeting of editors that write on women's issues. Here is their actual editorial board- notice that men are just as represented on their board and as editors, as they are throughout the company.
Good on them to acknowledge that they're wrong, but they should put a correction on the comment with the picture, because people are still circlejerking in the replies.
But they're not saying any men there must hate themself because it's mostly women there. They stated it's mostly women there, and that any men who are there must hate themself (imo, probably referring to how they post and promote a lot of anti-male related articles)
Well, these assholes feel personally attacked by feminism, so they assume any man who doesn't feel the same way is a beta-cuck or some bullshit term they invented to make themselves feel better about their own impotence.
I call it like I see it. If one company takes a stand to improve the diversity of the industry, rather than just their own company, and you, as a white male, take issue with that, you are ignorant of your privilege. (That's the rhetorical "you", btw, not you personally). Ignorance tends to have three varities; lack of knowledge, pure stupidity, and willful ignorance. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, and assume it's not pure stupidity, and considering how readily available information on the topic is, being poorly informed comes off as willful. Willful ignorance is a defensive mechanism to avoid unpleasant truths. If acknowledging your privilege is unpleasant, the most reasonable explanation is that you are a failure, desperately trying to find a reason to feel superior to someone.
Sure, I don't disagree that there is a distinct presence of female supremacist philosophy masquerading as feminism. That doesn't change the fact that one can be willing to work for a feminist organization as a man without hating oneself. It's not about hating oneself as a white male, it's about recognizing the societal advantages that come with being a white male. A lack of white males in the company broadens the diversity of the industry at large, rather than just trying to fill a corporate quota because of poorly implemented, bureaucratic, politically correct bullshit. Think of it like a theme park. There were many entrances, with different requirement. Some required age and/or experience, some required a degree, many required that you be white, and many required that you be male. There was, of course, one entrance in the front with no requirements, but the line was atrocious. Eventually, new entrances started being added, requiring that you be black, or Latino, or female, or Muslim, or gay, etc. For some reason, this upset the people who already had their own entrances. "They can already use the front entrance" they yelled, "this isn't fair." You see, they had been in the park for so long, they didn't realize that they had come in through a side entrance.

That's usually an incredibly easy target around here, but you're counting on people rejecting something that would make Fox look bad, so it doesn't play.
The golf example could have worked on it's own. Maybe something more relatable for this crowd. Try anime, like black people or women who like anime hate themselves. Much better premise. For this crowd.
Okay I'm confused, what is it about a bunch of women sitting around a table smiling that makes them look like cunts? I'm also a normal white male and to me that just sounds like a walking into a room of black people and saying "niggers" and then wondering why they'd call you racist.

It's in the same category, if not the same intensity. It's a term specifically created to demean a group, women.
Really your fantasy of walking in there and insulting them for being women with the worst word you can think of for it says more about you then you are willing to admit.
They'd assume you were mentally ill, and have a great story to tell later. "You won't believe what happened! This crazy guy broke into the office and yelled 'cunts' and then just walked away. He must have Tourette's or something and he was too embarrassed to keep going after that."

The "cut their own dicks off for money" implies that by working for Huffington Post as a white male, they essentially relinquished their manhood. It's a metaphor for being a huge pussy by ignoring their morality and values as a white male, and taking the money from the job at a company who is known to be anti-white male instead.

Iโm not sure how much more detail I can really go into.
So the guy isnโt being literal. Heโs not saying that the men who work at HuffPo LITERALLY took a knife and cut their own penis off. Heโs using โcut their own dicks offโ in a figurative, metaphorical sense to mean that the men are spineless. They took a job at a company whose agenda frequently opposes anything cis white male, and as a result, an outsider might view them as lesser men for joining a company that tends to shit on them and people like them.
I guess you could loosely compare it to a black person wanting to join the kkk for whatever reason. The black community would shun the individual in question because why would a black person embody the values of the kkk, who are vehemently opposed to black people. The metaphor in this sense would be something like โoh that black guy might as well have painted himself white because he joined the kkkโ
Thatโs the gist of the parent comment; white men who join a company that opposes all white men, and often has articles reeking of third-wave feminism, might as well have cut their own dicks off.

Not having evidence and saying you donโt get the joke are two different things. You were being obtuse when you said you didnโt get the joke. If you understand that reddit believes Huffpo is anti-men you donโt have to agree with that to understand the joke.

I understand that a specific "victimized" group of reddit believe that Huffpo is anti-men for hilarious projected reasons.
well wait a minute this makes sense to me. he is part of the NRA and supports them, but is saying he isnt the one to publicly represent their views. he isnt a spokesperson, just a member. nothing wrong with that here
Yes, but I think in this sense, he's referring to not being an official spokesperson who's authorized to speak freely on behalf of the organization, but instead just a random actor and supporter that got handed a script and paid to do a few ads.
Another example, I was in College Democrats, and spoke in a short video ad for the organization that was shown to new students at my school. However, I was just a non-ranking member with no official role, talking off of a script. Now, if I went to the school newspaper the very next day and said some crazy shit like "Yeah, I'm a CD and we club baby seals all day. That's all we do!," they would've quickly (and correctly) said "He's not a spokesperson for our organization" before kicking my ass out.

Itโs also not a pic of their editorial board, itโs one group that specifically meets and writes about womenโs issues. The board of HuffPo is plenty diverse, gender wise and other. Someone else linked a full roster above. Their CEO is a man, for crying out loud.

Ok, but if you look at the actual editorial board of HuffPo there are lots of men, and quite a few last names typically associated with other ethnicities.
Executive Editor is named Jim; Managing Editor's last name is Kho; going down the list I see Howard and Nick and Victor and Buck and Peter; I also see last names Confino, Terkel, Fineman, Angyal, Mahabir, Goldberg, Masroor.....
Are they majority women? Yes. Are they majority white? Yes. But I don't think the truth is as simple as your meme would like it to be.
That's a shitty graphic, if you look at the actual list of NRA board members you can see the graphic conveniently handpicked the few non-white male guys on it. It's almost like it's the same % as the HuffPo one... no conspiracy here, nope.
70% white women and the rest a mix of other genders and races, sounds pretty diverse to me. Especially compared to most white male dominated places.

That might just be the dumbest thing Iโve ever seen. The actual board of directors for the NRA has almost 80 members and 5 of them are not white. Whoever made this just scrolled right on through the long list and cherry picked the darkest people they could find. This image is nonsensical. What point does it even attempt to make? Liberals are stupid because the Huffington Post has a bigger percentage of white people than the NRA? Oh right because we all took that pledge of allegiance to the Huffington Post when we agreed to sell our souls to the liburul media. This is like something straight out of a 2009 chain email from that sticker van lady that really loves smoking.

Regarding your question, I think boards members should be there because they're capable and experienced in their field.
Choosing someone based on judgment of anything other than their merits, be it race, age, religion or gender is wrong and goes against the interests of the institution they represent.

How about my 6 year account?
People thinking HuffPo is a far left garbage rag is not T_D brigading. Ive never bothered with that sub and am pretty liberal. HuffPo is the left equivalent of Fox News
Same. Journalism major here. I used to be blind but now I see. There are extremes to everything and the only thing that moves most journalism these days is money. It fucking sucks having to sit around while the people in the industry I had regarded to well just throw away all the integrity or ethics they were taught.
yes by that I did mean the site will generally support centrist clinton/obama wing over the bernie side of things. (but that's still not the same thing as "libertarian" at all)
Hey man I think I'm being pretty magnanimous for giving you the benefit of the doubt you probably still have your balls. Unless... you write for HuffPo?

I don't know where the guy you are responding to was coming from, but common, it is pretty funny.
Like people joke (or if they're dumb/assholes, earnestly assert) that men that work for HuffPo are less manly, because they're willing to put up with what seems like sexism. Have you seen that picture with the editorial board? All women, almost all white I think.
And with the testosterone thing, we can talk about how, hormonally, they are indeed "less manly". it's a good joke, even if you are a big fan of the site!
The majority if workers for Huffpo are women except for a few men castrated by sjw ideology.

That's what they are. The opinion stuff is heavy-handed (during the 2016 campaign every piece mentioning Trupm had a disclaimer at the bottom saying Trump was a rapist bigot, or something), but conservatives think any male working at a majority-female media company is a "cuck" or something.
I mean there was a Buzzfeed video recently where a group of male writers there got their testosterone levels tested. Most of them would qualify for Testosterone Replacement Therapy under current guidelines (though they didn't mention this in the video) and the guy with the most testosterone was still only a hair above the healthy minimum under old guidelines.
Not saying every man working at a female-majority progressive publication is doing so because he's got an unhealthy hormone balance, but there's sort of a grain of truth in there.

Sorry, I was not clear with my statement. BuzzFeed is generally liberal, but it also has all sorts of stories, videos, etc. The BuzzFeed video is pseudo-science intended to generate clicks.
Some people bring up things like the video (instead of real science) to push the bullshit idea that liberal men are closet homosexuals, weak, "cucks", etc., whereas conservative men are straight, strong, independent, good in the sack, etc.
What's "it" in your sentence? Because the Buzzfeed video is hosted on Buzzfeed's site as part of an ongoing series call the Try Guys, so that's not made up by a conservative outlet. The video lists the ng/dL concentrations of free testosterone found in each man's blood by a doctor, so you can check that independently. Unless you think the guidelines for healthy testosterone levels listed by the University of Rochester Medical Center and several other sources are a plot to make progressives look bad then I'm not sure what you're talking about.

It's a test of three or four guys. That's hardly a good sample size, so there isn't a grain of truth. Even if it is true that Buzzfeed unknowingly hires men with lower testosterone levels, that doesn't mean any of them are less of a man than others.
I didn't say progressive men are all clinically low in testosterone. Do you identify so closely with Buzzfeed that you take it personally when they skewer themselves a bit? There has been some real research on correlations between hormone levels and political alignments but the findings are quite a bit more complicated than that.
A proper study finding low testosterone levels across a good sample of liberal men would be much more than just a grain of truth. Grain are small and not worth much. Buzzfeed having a "type" that it hires, and that type being typified by low testosterone traits is a grain. Nothing more, but it's not nothing.
that doesn't mean any of them are less of a man than others
Now you're dealing in value judgments that I didn't make. Testosterone levels have a real and significant impact on behavior, appearance, mindset and mood. Feel free to look those effects up and decide for yourself whether the traits that come along with low testosterone meet your personal values when it comes to masculinity or not. I'm not dealing with that here.

Why get so defensive?
I didn't say progressive men are all clinically low in testosterone.
...I didn't say you said that. You said there was a grain of truth to the statement, though, because of that test. If you meant to cite more than just a Buzzfeed video, you should have mentioned that.
Buzzfeed having a "type" that it hires, and that type being typified by low testosterone traits is a grain.
Again, your one citation prior to this was a test of four people. That one test didn't use a large enough sample size to apply the findings to every man working at Buzzfeed. So, you came to your conclusion in a very unscientific way. My point is that one study of four people doesn't give the statement a grain of truth. For all we know every other male Buzzfeed employee has high testosterone levels.
A proper study finding low testosterone levels across a good sample of liberal men would be much more than just a grain of truth.
Correct. I never said it wouldn't. Your whole previous comment was working off the idea that a four person study of male Buzzfeed employees was enough to conclude anything about the rest of male Buzzfeed employees.
Now you're dealing in value judgments that I didn't make.
Conveniently leaving out the reason you commented at all. The implication of bringing up testosterone levels in defense of another comment that joked about male Huffington post employees being castrated (and saying it has a grain of truth) is that only a man with high testosterone levels is a real man. That's enough to warrant that statement from me, at least. If you want people to take your comment at face value, maybe don't post it in a thread where people are saying liberal males are cucks.
Testosterone levels have a real and significant impact on behavior, appearance, mindset and mood.
Holy shit, really??? Wow, I'm so enlightened now that I know about hormones! Never even heard of them before, much less knew that they had an effect on my mood and shit!
Again, my comment isn't arguing that hormones don't exist or don't have an effect on you. I'm arguing that you coming to the conclusion that Buzzfeed is full of low testosterone males based off one video (the one thing you cited) is bullshit. Because it is. You could be right in your conclusion, but you're wrong in your method.
Feel free to look those effects up and decide for yourself whether the traits that come along with low testosterone meet your personal values when it comes to masculinity or not.
Obviously, I don't give a fuck about a guy's testosterone levels in relation to how much of a man they are. If they identify as male, they're a man. If they don't, they're not. Simple as that. I'm not going to question a person's gender just because they're liberal.

I'm saying why should I as white male care about the fortune 500 CEOs diversity? What could I even do to change it? I'm just trying to get through school right now working a minimum wage job
no, the conversation was about white males being up in arms that the majority of the senior staff at Huffington Post are women, and apparently that any men working there must be physically castrated because how could you work in a majority female environment without losing your dignity.
Its not about the majority being female, its about the anti male ideology. I personally, and I would venture to guess most other people, don't give two shits about a co-worker's gender. The issue stems from HuffPo spewing out articles with some form of "men are bad and here's why" as the title. So its more a metaphorical castration, as these men are working at a company that continually discriminates based on someones gender. You know I think there's actually a word for that...
I guess I'm failing to see the relevance of this towards woman CEOs?
Not only that, but men are overrepresented in prison because they do more crime than women, in fact they do a lot more crime. Now we can get into why, if it's just, and so on, but again the point is one company having a lot of women in top earning positions does not mean the men who work there are "castrated".
Iโm not suggesting discrimination plays no role but I am also not suggesting women should get hired for being women. I do, however, support hiring women as CEOs and increased representation. Shocking though it may seem women CEOs are hired because theyโre capable.
I do think men are more willing to go for those roles are more likely to succeed, that doesnโt upset me. But you and I are going to disagree on why that is. I am going to posit sexism and the difficulty woman having working in male dominated fields, and youโll tell me men are just better and more confident. An interpretation I think lacks nuance and also rejects the evidence that demonstrates the assertiveness of women is perceived differently than menโs, and how women who ask for raises are more likely to be perceived negatively for it.

Oh? So no need to correct historical discrepancies or any of that?

Ah there it is.

And some are hired because they need a woman.

Actually I will say for men wealth and social status matter more so they're willing to take greater risks and make greater sacrifices. Whereas women matter simply for existing and no one judges them harshly for not being rich.
Let's see all the Disney stories where the rich girl falls for the poor boy who ends up actually just being poor and they live in a hovel for the rest of their lives.

The American prison system is absolutely despicable and should be routed from the top down. It's not a competition of which 'offends' me more - for profit, industrialised prison systems are not a thing which should exist in the world. What, you want more women in the prison system so it's 'even'?
Edit: btw those stats are weird, there are 2.2 million prisoners in the US - a mind boggling number.
Your claim was that it was ok to discriminate against men since they're massively overrepresented in every field and presumably they generally have it better.
Here's a clear example of men being overrepresented in a way that's pretty shitty.
Would you accept the argument that it's ok for women to be a minority in certain fields since they're a minority in prison?
I'm using your same logic and you don't seem to like it.
Yes, men have it better than women in every way if you deliberately exclude every instance where they don't. But that shouldn't be surprising.
That was not even remotely my claim. My claim was it's ridiculous to get angered over the fact the executive board of Huffington Post is majority female - to the point where you call any men that work there castrated when pretty much every other executive board is majority male.
Why does it have to be a zero sum game? There should be nowhere near as many people in the prison system, and men get disproportionally longer sentences than women and that's wrong. Women are massively underrepresented at the top of pretty much every industry and that's wrong. I don't get what your issue is here.

Why does it have to be a zero sum game?
You tell me.
There should be nowhere near as many people in the prison system, and men get disproportionally longer sentences than women and that's wrong.
Correct. So when women feel they're being discriminated against in another area they should be reminded of this so they don't complain. Like with men and huffpo not hiring them.
It doesnโt have to be a zero sum game - that was my whole point.
There are two serious issues here and one which is unimportant. It is worth being angry about women not being represented at the top of industry, and it is worth being angry about so many men being incarcerated. It is not worth being angry about The Huffington Post having an all women editorial board, it is good if women are over represented at the top of one singular business when they are underrepresented or not there at all at nearly every single other one.
We should want women to be equally represented at the top of industry and for men in the criminal justice system to be treated fairly. You are disagreeing with me for no reason other than to be contrary, or maybe you just donโt want to admit that women suffer from discrimination and systemic prejudice.
I imagine itโs probably the latter. Either way, I couldnโt really give a shit what you think.
It is worth being angry about women not being represented at the top of industry, and it is worth being angry about so many men being incarcerated.
Would you say they're overrepresented?
It is not worth being angry about The Huffington Post having an all women editorial board, it is good if women are over represented at the top of one singular business when they are underrepresented or not there at all at nearly every single other one.
So men shouldn't have these jobs to compensate for men doing well in other areas.
Ok so how should women be punished to compensate for the sentencing gap?
Like if one judge let every man go and sentenced every woman to the maximum term that would be fine since in most every other court it's the other way around.

You are disagreeing with me for no reason other than to be contrary, or maybe you just donโt want to admit that women suffer from discrimination and systemic prejudice.
Maybe you don't want to admit that men do?
Anyway the point I'm making and you're missing is that you could always excuse discrimination by claiming the discriminated group benefits in a different way.
You think it's fine to not hire men for certain jobs to compensate for more men being CEOs.
That logic could be used against women too. But you only like it when it applies one way.

You're never going to have a useful discussion with anyone if you don't argue in good faith.

This is a pointless, uninteresting dialogue because you are arguing with yourself. It is interesting when people challenge your views and make you think differently, it's why I like having back and forths with people over the internet - but you're trying to force my argument into a place it doesn't exist in order to try and make me look unreasonable and I'm not interested in having a histrionic discussion with you.

All well and good except that you specifically brought the CEO thing up to dismiss concerns that one company hires almost exclusively men.
So you're claiming that wasn't your intent... But it's totally what you did.

To be fair you never really were open to having your beliefs challenged.
You have yet to say men are overrepresented in prison. You said there are too many, but that's different in a key way.
That would be like saying it's fine that only 6% of CEOs are women, we just need fewer CEOs in total.
But it doesn't really work if the people making this claim aren't saying men have all the power.
For instance if men criticize the feminist Duluth model (women can only be victims of DV, never abusers because patriarchy) I don't think that's claiming what you say.

Look at the punishment prescribed by the bills. They both punish infractions as misdemeanors. So, your claim that one is punished more stringently than the other fails.

I use the blackface as a comparison because they both are "humorous" portrayals that dehumanize and undermine people and their agency by creating a stigma.
look if you can't tell the difference between racism and making fun of a group of people who can be over zealous then I don't know what to tell you.

I understand jokes, however I wasn't sure you were joking there. I just wanted to see your thoughts, given the fact that you seem to disagree with my point.
This is Reddit where it doesn't matter what your religious beliefs are, political, or just personal opinions. Because someone, some username will comment some useless petty comment for the sake of trying to start an argument.
Case in point I had a user arguing with me over a point that we both agreed on. He just wanted to be superior to the thread.
I don't mind it if it's 2 opposing sides or even just a slightly different view. When it is the same point or uncivil I just stop replying. I also stop replying when I personally view it as a waste of my time because it isn't going anywhere.
I bet youโve consistently commented on the diversity of workplaces that are 90% men, right?

The point is that the Huffington Post is a significant proponent for diversity in both race and gender, particularly in white collar jobs. The fact that they have a singularly white, singularly female editorial board is evidential of a deep-rooted hypocrisy within the company, one deserving of criticism.
That isn't HuffPo's editorial board, it's a meeting of editors that write on women's issues. Here is their actual editorial board- notice that men are just as represented on their board and as editors, as they are throughout the company.

Fuck me mate well done getting all that from one light hearted comment. I know we are on Reddit so its safe to presume that 90% of the other people are misogynist white men but you're way off here.

Nah, the comment I replied to is an ad hominem. The original commentโs point being made is HuffPo is hypocritical. Thatโs all.
You don't know me at all. I comment on old white men running everything all the time. Look through some of my comment history on FIFA or the English FA, or english politics, or private schools, or STEM in university, or the BBC, I could go on.
Please keep judging me from one light hearted comment, that's a really open-minded and non-prejudicial way of doing things. Good job turning things into a battle even though it appears like me and you are actually on the same side.
Ok, thatโs fair, I was too snarky perhaps. I guess as a woman, itโs extremely rare to see any board room filled with women. But we see them filled with men ALL THE TIME & those companies tend to still be respected- or at least keep running with power. Yes, there was a lack of ethnic diversity, but perhaps itโs refreshing to see a room of all women running something for a change.
how many of those all white male boards push their company attacking others who aren't inclusive/diverse?
most of the issue with the huffpo board isn't that it's filled with women, it's that it's filled with white women while they press everyone else for not being SJW enough.
They don't have quotas but if you honestly think that companies have never and don't continue to give jobs to white men who are less qualified than, as an example, a black woman then you're either naive, deluded or dishonest.
I actually forgot what this thread was about once I fell down this rabbit hole.

I would assume that the editors att Huffpo would argue for diversity across all editors in media, and not in every single instance of a meeting or board or what ever. They would probably point to discrepancies in how many editors as a whole are male vs female. I'm just guessing though so I could be wrong. But stupid people also like to assume the worst in their supposed enemies.
If the highest percentage of men in your company is represented in your leadership, then they are just as guilty as the lack of diversity that they pretend to combat.
The same people that vilified the Google engineer for his claim that "men strive more for leadership positions than women" are a poster child for that exact situation.

But it's not. I havn't found any comprehensive charts or anything, but a quick glance at their "politics" section shows that about half of them are men. Same goes for their "news" section. If you want to count them up and make a pie chart I'd be happy to concede this one but it really looks like the spread is close to 50/50 from what I've been able to tell. I'd guess that the 3/7 ratio is pretty consistent with the rest of their company.

So they would argue for diversity across all editors... just not their own? The one place where they have direct control?
If they were to point out the total amount of male vs female editors as a whole then this would not be the right solution would it. And as others have pointed out, we need not speculate. HP write a lot of 'articles' bashing all male groups here or there, with no reference as to total numbers. They seem to choose whether to measure the diversity of a group individually or compare within an industry in order to pick the one that best fits the narrative.
But stupid people also like to assume the worst in their supposed enemies.
So your second argument is that because I disagree with something, I must be stupid...? I have given a reason as to why I called someone stupid. You're just saying "disagreeing is stupid".

which is in opposition to the principle of charity, which I hope we can agree is a pretty rational thing to adhere to, and people, including me, can be pretty bad at applying it to our political adversaries. I think that can be pretty stupid. But mostly I used it to mirror your usage of it previously.

The principle of charity is a good point to bring up, but you can't just go around making the assumption that it has not been properly observed in any given example of decision making.
I appreciate that in the haste of a comment posted online, it can seem that irrationality and hot-headedness are the prevalent cause of a discussion or post. However I think it's important not to mistake opinions presented in somewhat casual conversation as opinions that are exaggerated / unfounded. I assure you though that this is not the first time I have commented on the subject matter and I have had what I believe to be sufficient conversations and made sufficient considerations regarding the legitimacy of my position.
Essentially, an application of the principle of charity (as one of several methodological presumption principles) will not necessarily result in a change of opinion from the priori to the posteriori. There is some irony in making this assumption.

I don't care how you use the word stupid and was only responding to it because you brought it up.
The list of employees on their site is my main point. It addresses what you wrote here:
So they would argue for diversity across all editors... just not their own?
It seems obvious to me that they do in fact care about diversity in their own organization, based on the names of the people on that list.
The principle of charity is a good point to bring up, but you can't just go around making the assumption that it has not been properly observed in any given example of decision making.
I don't think I made that assumption either. I addressed your point about the supposed hypocrisy and added it as a sort of snarky homage to your usage of the word previously. That's it.
In fact I even stated that I hope we can agree on the principle of charity, implying that you already do. I'm glad I was right about that.

So perhaps you can explain to me, who has not previously discussed the Huffington Post and their supposed hypocrisy regarding gender bias in employment, how they are hypocritical even though it seems to me that their employees are rather balanced in terms of gender?

But we are talking about the picture and that meeting and the seemingly proud nature of the original photo post. How is this lost on you?

I'm sure we can agree on the principle of "genocide is bad" but I don't bring it up as it's not relevant. If I did, then I would be attempting to highlight that what you are saying appears to be going against that. Why else would I bring it up.
So perhaps you can explain to me, who has not previously discussed the Huffington Post and their supposed hypocrisy regarding gender bias in employment, how they are hypocritical even though it seems to me that their employees are rather balanced in terms of gender?
Again this is kind of obvious. I presume you are intentionally somewhat playing dumb to the original point of the post and are going down this "look at their staff" route of argument instead. Their staff is regardless. This has nothing to do with anything other than pride in a lack of diversity. Whether it's in one meeting or many. Were it a group of men expressing pride in a lack of female representation, people would be mortified. I'm not saying that there is an issue. I'm not saying "you need men in there too! Diversity!?!?" My original comment was only speaking to the hypocrisy in the content of their posts regularly pointing out diversity issues in other situations, yet actively promoting a lack of it and pride in that fact within their own. I think perhaps if you do not read their content as you said you do not, this may simply be a crossed point that we are arguing.
Which I don't think they do. Even if I'm right about that it doesn't mean you suddenly have to adhere to all their opinions about gender equality. It just means you can argue against something they actually believe in.

No, there is no contradiction here. You misunderstood my usage of the word to be aimed at you personally. I tried to clear that misconception, because I want to make myself understood. You, however, are free to use the word in whatever way you like.
But we are talking about the picture and that meeting and the seemingly proud nature of the original photo post. How is this lost on you?
I'm simply trying to put that picture in a wider context in order to understand their point. Applying the principle of charity, it seems likely to me that they were talking about ethnic diversity, as gender diversity obviously is not an issue at their company.
I'm sure we can agree on the principle of "genocide is bad" but I don't bring it up as it's not relevant. If I did, then I would be attempting to highlight that what you are saying appears to be going against that. Why else would I bring it up.
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, my application of the principle lead me to different conclusions than you. That's why I bring it up. I wanted to know how you could arrive at such a different conclusion.
Again this is kind of obvious. I presume you are intentionally somewhat playing dumb to the original point of the post and are going down this "look at their staff" route of argument instead.
And at this point I'm starting to question if you really do care for the principle of charity. Why would you assume I'm playing dumb and am avoiding an argument? As I said, my argument is that the context of the photo makes it clear that the company is not sexist. Their staff in an important piece of that context.
Their staff is regardless. This has nothing to do with anything other than pride in a lack of diversity.
And again, this is where you and I apply the principle of charity differently. If I see a photo of ethnically diverse women in a meeting and a caption that tries to celebrate diversity, I'm not going to assue that they mean gender diversity. If I further look at their staff and see that they are indeed hiring both men and women across the company, that makes it even mess likely that they are sexist or hypocritical. If you came to another conclusions but still applied the principle of charity, you must know something about the company that I don't, which is what I'm trying to find out here.
Whether it's in one meeting or many. Were it a group of men expressing pride in a lack of female representation, people would be mortified. I'm not saying that there is an issue. I'm not saying "you need men in there too! Diversity!?!?" My original comment was only speaking to the hypocrisy in the content of their posts regularly pointing out diversity issues in other situations, yet actively promoting a lack of it and pride in that fact within their own.
So is this picture all that you use to conclude this? If so I don't agree, for the reasons stated above. If you can point me to some Huffpo article that, for instance, criticises other gender-diverse companies for showcasing meetings where only men are present then I will absolutely concede that they are acting hypocritically.
I think perhaps if you do not read their content as you said you do not, this may simply be a crossed point that we are arguing.
If you don't want to share what content you are basing your opinion on, then it certainly is.

Perhaps not literally... however; Buzzfeed (a similar venue) was doing an article on male attractiveness and their male staff did a test on testosterone as part of that, checking their own levels of the stuff. 270 is the lowest the average goes for American men and they were below that.
So, it turns into a "chicken or the egg" kind of thinking. Did that environment rob them of their masculinity or is it only appealing to those kind of men.
It's not about "How you define yourself as a man", testosterone is the thing that decides male physical characteristics and behavior. Males not producing enough of it is also considered an illness and it facilitates other illnesses to occur.
You don't need to be a "Macho Man" to be a "Real Man" but you can't ignore that higher testosterone leads to a more masculine body/behavior.

I think the problem is that it still attempts to create a social hierarchy out of something relatively meaningless to the development of self and identity. Debates about degree of masculinity and femininity are the problem. Hormones might dictate certain intractable sex characteristics, but it would be a huge misstatement to say that it is the sole factor determining masculine or feminine identity.
Nobody said that hormones are exclusively what determines your identity. They're not the entire "building" but are instead the "foundation".
And we don't judge each other based on our testosterone levels. A man at 300 isn't any less a man than someone with 1,000. It's not Dragon Ball Z power levels. A persons agency, the decisions they make, is a larger deciding factor on a persons value.
But the guys in the Buzzfeed group all having extremely low testosterone isn't a good trend. It's unhealthy for them. Look at all the effects of low testosterone and you'll see that its not just about being "effeminate". You develop a lot of motivational, body weight, sexual ability, and other problems.

Your statement below contradicts you.
"It's not about 'How you define yourself as a man', testosterone is the thing that decides male physical characteristics and behavior"
Either way, i feel my point was more directed at being critical of biological determinism in gender construction, in general. Not just testosterone levels.
That statement of mine is not contradictory in any way. You're conflating "The Self" and "The Body".
The hormones and other chemical cocktails that make up your body do influence your behavior. But humans have agency and a sense of self outside of that. Higher testosterone leads to a heightened aggression, for example, but that doesnt mean that everyone with high testosterone is a roid raging jerk bag.
As far as biological determinism goes; people seem to forget how long humans have been on this planet, compared to how recently our societies became modernized. Males and Females have had pretty strict roles for thousands of years, to deal with the difficulties of life. That doesnt just go away overnight. Males are always going to trend in one direction and females in the other, mentally and physically. So we're always going to have an "Archetypal" role for each of the sexes.
However, we do live in a modern era, so we don't need to feel compelled to follow that standard. Our sex doesn't determine who we can be or what we can do. Its going to be harder to work against the standards set by your biology, and there are going to be hard limits in a few areas, but people are still free to work towards whatever goals they want.
Bbols23 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:17:13 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Can you explain a bit more about how biological determinism has historically been used to deal with issues, and how, if at all, it was helpful?
how do you mean men and women would trend in different directions?
I'm a bit concerned that we aren't looking at this from the same definition. I'm assuming you're implying some kind of directed determinism, instead of the Nature v Nurture argument. So, from what I know, I'll start at the beginning.
By nature, males are going to be bigger and stronger than females. Biologically this is super important for early human history, since we are creatures of endurance. Females certainly weren't weak by comparison but they did also spend a good portion of their adult lives carrying children. So you have a pretty clear divide in roles.
Even once humanity took up agriculture it was still incredibly strenuous work. And then we throw in all the warfare that humanity has done, where we had people march thousands of miles loaded with metal armor and equipment. As such, we've spent thousands of years cultivating male and female behavior, where the basis is the difference in our biology. Men compete and do the physical work. Women cooperate and do the social work. It wasn't a matter of choice as much as it was of survival. Human culture derived from this basis.
In our modern era, the last few hundred years, that's not so important. Advances in technology and machinery have almost completely trivialized physical work. But the instincts and culture we developed are still there. The choices and interests between men and women are still generally in line with how they have always been, although the line has been blurred a great deal since we no longer have the demands we used to.
This is why we're having so much conflict over parity in the workplace. Specifically office jobs. Men and women are working on the same level and in the same fields, but they don't socially play by the same rules.
Different groups have a variety of demands on how our culture needs to change to fit our modern era. But many of those demands are unrealistic in the face of how humanity... is. I feel that the only real action we need to take, is to continue to preach openness, exploration, freedom, and tolerance in letting people be how they want to be. Not to try and tear apart the tendencies people gravitate towards.
I hope that is what you were asking(?) and that it was understandable.
Yes, I keep hearing about those busineses with all male executives getting sued. Oh, wait! I meant to say I never hear or businesses with all male executives getting sued. So, what planet do you live on?
Or Buzzfeed. Or Cosmo. Ya know what modern journalism really needs to get it back on track? More girl power.
Edit, because I expect to be reported. I said girl power. I did not say women. Most professional women perform about the same as their male counterparts. But there's also a vocal minority that comes bearing the attitude of "We girlz are gonna take this business by storm! Down with the stinky old men!" If journalism is any indication, that group does not appear to be up to the standards of their peers.

About the "prostitution club" though you can't really forget that the ruling monarch had a poligamous relationship and he had many women (and men) as sexual partners and Harem is where those people lived. So it's still not OK but not as messed up as most people think it is.

The literal meaning of the word harem in Arabic language is, โa holy place that everyone is not allowed to enterโ. Inย Muslim societies, it is a notion which defines intimate family life. In Ottoman tradition, the word "Harem" was used in two different senses. First, "the sultan's harem" i.e. his family, and the second meaning would have referred to the space where his family lived.
As for poligamy, yes, Islam allows it as long as the man is married to each wife and he can look after them and does not have favourites. "Allow" is the operative word because it is implied that this arrangement should come out of necessity.
There are many surahs and verses that concern with that arrangement
Or, rather than having to get crazy people who are cool with losing their genitalia for money, get people to work who are not attracted to your harem. So, for example, if your harem is full of women, hire gay guys to assist them.
Bonus: stereotypically, they're the ones you want assisting your harem anyway what with all the makeup, hair, and clothing tips they can offer. I mean, they do that anyway at a lot of hair salons now!
Fun fact: In some cultures in ancient times, the word eunuch sometimes did not mean guys with their little misters cut off, but sometimes just meant gay guys. So, the two servants who chucked Queen Jezebel out of the window to her death might have been queens themselves, so to speak.
But... Wouldn't you be worried that would attract the craziest guys you've ever met? If someone was just fine to do that for money that'd be a sign to me to stay far away

It's not like the locals getting free university education will have zero productivity. You don't need to cater to their every need and whim - they would be quite capable of building the town up themselves. You could model it after Harris Rosen's philanthropic efforts in Tangelo Park.

I don't get why millionaires and billionaires don't do that already. Just show up in some 3rd world country and start building and hiring everyone.

I don't see the downside as long as you're not being exploitative. If anything you'd be improving the lives of the people you're hiring.
I stayed at a home stay in Thailand where an American had done basically this (on a smaller scale). It seemed super helpful. He moved to a tiny poor village in the north, hired locals to build the home stay, staffed it with villagers, etc. Itโs really cheap to stay there and caters mostly to backpackers (doesnโt have amenities). They were able to build a school and a clinic in the village with his help. I donโt even think it cost him thaaat much.
Gotta build a wall to keep all the people out that want to move there. Those walls are expensive though, so you'll have to pass the cost off to the government of course.
Then you have to take away the "perks" that you started providing since you will begin to blame the people for becoming lazy due to the handouts of course.
After a few years your finances are dwindling, you need to start charging money to the people who bring your people things that they sell. We can then "Tarips". Hopefully, in doing this, you promote your people to start making things of their own to sell.
After a little bit of time, your people are making things that they can sell, reducing the goods you charged "Tarips" for. Your finances, again, begin to dwindle without the revenue you had when first introducing "Tarips". You decide that you need to charge your people a healthy fraction of what the "Tarips" were in order to break even.
Wait a moment. The college you set up is educating people in ways that aren't always beneficial to the community you have built. Need to introduce a disincentive to promote the "right" education. We can call this "Tuiption".
"Tuition" has proved to be a healthy revenue stream, why not charge a fraction of this "Tuiption" to every degree offered at our college - it only makes sense.
The people can't afford "Tuiption" any more so they stop going to get educated. We can fix this, we can charge the same amount but with the caveat of paying us back after they're finished with just a small percentage more as a sort of... Convenience fee. It's okay though, we are helping them with an education.
Now the governments around us aren't jealous per say. They are just there watching us and we don't like that. We need to find a way to defend ourselves. Let's build a "Marmy".
The people don't like the idea of a "marmy", we can tell them that without it that the other governments would take everything we have.
The "marmy" is expensive though. We need to raise that "tarips, tupitions, and tapses" in order to afford it.
Wow, the "marmy" sure is nice to have, however it's done being built. We still have the cash coming in from all the extra money to build it. We like this money but can't justify the increased rates. Let's use the "marmy" and show that it's needed. Problem, we don't need to use it. Let's stage another government attacking us, video tape it, show the people, and have them want us to use it!
Our friend, Cosmo, is in charge of this project. He also builds the "marmy". Let's pay him handsomely to keep our secret.

You need more eccentricities! Buy all the houses in the area and rent them out super cheap. Rename the town sixhundredton. Population goes over 600 kick some people out. Set up a giant game of musical chairs in the town square to determine who has to leave. I don't know if one billion is enough for that type of crazy.
Instead of musical chairs, perhaps a competition to the death, in a gigantic arena, for a handful of residents selected by lottery. Where the last survivor gets to stay for life!

hire local workers, pay them 5 times the standard. Wouldn't charge people money
Thus creating a bidding war locally and forcing up the prices in other shops until no one can afford to shop there and everywhere goes out of business. Good way to ruin the local economy.

Why don't you do that now? Starting a business isn't as hard as you'd think, and if you see a hole in the market, fill it. You'd have to scrap the charity bit, and pay your workers something normal, but the rest sounds very reasonable! If you want to see it, do it

I own a business (bar) unfortunately, I know the people in this town, don't care for unnecessary expenses other than beer, lottery tickets, and cigarettes. Hell, most people around here own trucks near 3 decades old, just keep fixing them because they don't use their paybacks or seasonal farming earnings on luxuries. The only thing they splurge on are tractors lol if money wasn't an issue (billionaire baby) id like to own some businesses to improve the quality of life around here, broaden peoples horizons.
Hiring a barista is very expensive. An expresso machine, sure, fine, a couple hundred bucks one time for an expensive one, whatever. Baristas take 1-2 grand of dollars every month even part time. That's expensive.

A couple hundred bucks is not a good espresso machine. Google Nuova Simonelli, that's more in line with commercial espresso machines.
Couple hundred, couple thousand, doesn't take away from my overall point: Getting an espresso machine is a one-time investment that isn't too bad. Hiring a barista is what kills you. That's like buying another one of those every month.
adorknis ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 23:47:44 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sure, but if you're running service already, you could theoretically train someone to handle those duties as well depending on volume (which I think is fair to assume is plausible based on pop).
I was mostly responding to the notion of 'just hire a barista!'
I agree that it may be possible to offer espressos at a bar, why not. It's just not as simple as 'oh, just hire an extra person,' on the basis of hiring people costs a lot of money and isn't a casual decision, and the sentiment is an ignorant one.
Opening a gastro business is a foolproof way of going bankrupt. Especially when you don't have any experience and if you want to put a fancy version of Starbucks in a town with 600 citizens.
Starting a business in the food industry is very hard if you don't want it to lose money. There is very little barrier to entry, so the competition is intense. If the town doesn't already have a cafe, it's almost certainly because it will be difficult to create a sustainable business there.

Buying a building in this town would cost no more than $100,000, and that would be a good location too. I wouldn't hire 10 people, usually the gas stations here run with one or two people, and ive only seen 5 different employees there. id hire 5 initially and see how that works. that's probably overkill for the size of the store. I would hire struggling local moms and highschool/college kids. Rule is no person can work here for more than a year. It's like a scholarship if you get the position. I dont think all employees would get salaries, just the mom's. Students would be part time because of school. I imagine my salary expense would be around $500,000 including insurance. Then theres store expenses, water electricity, supplies, and one time charges (machines, furniture, etc.) Then there's the income, which is completely variable. People around here are usually not very well off, but they are proud people, and don't like to be handed anything. If they like the coffee they will probably tip 5 bucks. If not, maybe just a few. I'm not sure how much out of the hole that would get me, but I'd like to know

If a billionaire I'd go bigger than just that experience for myself. Koreas gaming cafes are dope. I'd make the biggest in the world.

Multiple huge tournament setups for hosting LAN events with one specific huge decked out hall to try and bring in big name games majors.
Then have a vr area for 200 people where they all have tonnes of room and don't constantly bump into that one fucking lamp that's always in the way.
I could happily live off a few million for the rest of my life and would be perfectly content blowing the vast majority on making and keeping the place dope regardless of it never made profit.

The PC equipment isn't even the thing that costs a lot though :p One thousand ยฃ2k systems, with extras that could bump it up to ยฃ4k is only ยฃ4m a year. And you wouldn't need to replace everything every year, on a 2 year replacement basis with zero partnerships with hardware companies it would cost ยฃ80m on pure PC equipment for the 40 years I'd be alive enough to give a shit.
I would be running the business at a loss the entire time but with the income I do generate that one billion goes a long way.
Acquiring the building and making it what it needs to be, upkeep costs, insurance, marketing, furniture, taxes, staffing and all those other things scare me far more than the costs to keep the equipment up to date. I can imagine spending hundreds of millions on getting the right people and building setup and functioning how they need to. Worrying about PC components becoming dated and in need of replacements is the last of my worries when it isn't even 10% of the budget.

I'd go to generic restaurants, give my waiter/waitress 100 dollars to send a glass of milk with ice in it to a specific table. The 100 dollars would be to keep quiet about who sent the milk.
I would do this several more times to the same table until they got visibly upset. No waiter in the world would stop sending ice milks, especially after I raise the offer to 500 dollars.
If I were a waiter I would gladly keep putting glasses of milk with ice in on someone's table even if they were screaming in my face if I made 500 bucks each time.
So yeah, I would do ice milk, instant classic.
Edit: please stop sending me gold.

My guess is that's the point. Maybe they'd drink a glass of milk or two if they kept coming for free, but it's milk with ice in it. It just doesn't sound pleasant to drink so you'd just sit there with all these glasses of milk at your table. Free drinks but not a drink you'd want.
Iโd probably complain after continuing to get glasses of milk after informing the waiter/tress that I was lactose intolerant.

That sounds about right. Like, I wouldn't be pissed that someone sent me a glass of ice milk, but I wouldn't drink it, either. And if they kept sending me ice milk, I'd eventually get pissed because they're obviously fucking with me, because why would I want a glass of ice milk, let alone 20?
almost like it IS undrinkable garbage. and im not a big milk drinker. cant use it in my coffee, and it tastes bad. plus it always has this vague clear/bluishness to it
Fun fact: Some companies will add titanium dioxide (an important ingredient in many sunscreens) to skim milk to make it more opaque and white like real milk.
there is so much stuff that gets put in everything i wouldnt be surprised, to be fair though, im sure Kraft Dinner or McDonalds cheeseburgers share common ancestry with the oil or cosmetics industry.
My uncle is a big fan of iced milk. He lives in Utah County, so maybe weird shit like that just comes with the territory. Pineapple on pizza, carrots in green jello, cult-style psychological abuse, fry sauce, etc.
Am Utahn can confirm about pineapple pizza, cult psychological abuse and fry sauce but haven't seen veggies in jello for a long time and iced milk is still taboo.

I am one of those people. I can't stand it. Going to a mexican restaurant and they put chips and salsa at the table. Grab a chip, load it up, pop it in my mouth and find out they were generous with the cilantro instantly makes me want to leave.
Most of the time the other flavors in the meal cover it up. But if it's something like a chimichurri? Nope... ruins the dish. Which sucks, because I know it's something that's supposed to be awesome. But there's an after-taste to cilantro that just doesn't go away.

I still buy skittles, but it's just not the same. A few years ago I actually found an old pack of skittles. They were hard as rock but my god the flavour was soooo much better. Green apple has never been my favourite, but in skittles it's just overpowering and through a the whole flavour spectrum out of balance. I have very strong feelings about green apple skittles.
Same. I actually like green apple flavor for some things (sour green apple ftw) but it just doesn't fit with the other flavors in a Skittles bag. I wish they'd do an all citrus bag- lemon, lime, orange, tangerine.... Mmmmm

It's about keeping the milk at optimal coolness for a period of time, the idea is to drink it before the ice melts. I loved ice milk because I find milk being put of the fridge for 5m is disgusting.
The first time I met my ex-stepdad, we all went to eat at Waffle House and he ordered a glass of milk and a separate glass of ice. The lunatic poured the milk into the glass of ice. It was then that I knew I hated him. He turned out to be an abusive, thieving, compulsive liar.

I literally water down my milk. Skim milk is gross and actually IS watered down milk, so one day I figured I could just pay the same price for a whole gallon of milk and add the water myself.
Usually u can make it up to half milk half water and there is NO difference in taste, even though the calorie count is lower than skim milk.

I wouldn't count that as "preparation" in the sense that it's intended. Cooking is preparation. Brewing is preparation. Baking is preparation. Pasteurization is just treating it.
iSmear ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:13:08 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nah. Brewing is to beer as brewing is to literally everything else. Pasteurization doesn't turn a previously-incomplete ingredient into a now-complete consumable, it just removes contaminants. Your analogy doesn't work.
all your other analogies involved preperation consumption.
pasteurization is a controlled process that neutralizes potential contaminants in the beverage (making it ready for wholesale). brewing/fermentation is a process that both activates potential properties, and neutralizes potential contaminants of the beverage (making it ready for whole sale)
your analogy doesn't work.
all you need to do for beer, after market, is chill it - not bake, brew, or anything else
iSmear ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:34:33 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
We all know what fermentation and pasteurization is, you don't have to define it. But while fermentation is comparable to pasteurization in that it's a step of the process, neither one is an act of preparation.
Preparation doesn't have to be after market though, it just has to turn ingredients into a final product. Pasteurization doesn't change an ingredient into a product, it's just a step in the process. You can drink unpasteurized milk and still say you're drinking milk.
By your logic, I could eat some eggs, flour, water, and sugar and say I'm eating a cake.
iSmear ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:28:09 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I feel like we're basically arguing semantics at this point.
But you seem to be making the assumption that the only thing that counts as preparation is after-market. So if I buy a cake from a bakery, that cake wasn't prepared? Cakes can only be prepared if I buy the eggs, flour, and milk, and make it myself?
Once again, all of the things you refer to (cleaning, quality checks, fermentation, etc) are all parts of the process, not in and of themselves preparation.
If a brewery turns hops, water, malt, etc into a beer (in which fermentation and quality assurance included in the process), the beer has been prepared. The product being bought at the checkout line at a grocery store isn't what magically makes a product "prepareable." Once a beer is brewed, it's already been prepared, because all of the raw ingredients have already been used to create a now-consumable product. Opening a bottle isn't "preparation." And, most importantly, pasteurization isn't "preparation," it's just a step in the process involved with preparation.
But the most notable source of your confusion is that you refuse to accept the concept that a product can be prepared by the manufacturer themselves, not just the consumer.

Because who the hell wants ice milk? Anything else you can say, "Oh, look. Free [whatever was dropped off]," and enjoy a free drink. But ice milk? Useless.
I have a vivid memory of putting milk and ice in a sandwich bag to drink while I explored in the woods behind my house. We weren't allowed to take cups outside. I bit the corner off and drank it like that. What a weird kid.

He begs for some alternatives and one of the offers is "Steve Anus" . His agent asks if the can pronounce it "Steve Anoo" and Ron screams "NO! No! He has to pronounce it Anus!". At least this is my faulty memory of it.
The point is if they get themselves into that position, they can't try to loophole their way out if it, it's not moony-wore-ay hall, it's not because of the people who live there. The university are the moneywhores and they have to pronounce it anus.
Exactly. "M.H. Hall" is unacceptable. A building which does not display its name is unacceptable.
In this scenario, "MONEYWHORE HALL" is engraved in granite 2ft high above the entrance or no check. And they have to announce the name of the building.
The Tebo family might have funded our hospital's nice new cancer treatment facility, but Feld sponsored the shitter. I know which one I'd rather spend time in
I'd pay whatever amount it would take for the manager to return to the table with another ice milk and say "I'm sorry your other 15 ice milks weren't cold enough sir, I put extra ice in this one".
I'd hire out a bar for the weekend, and leave it open to the public, but every beer must be served in a glass filled with ice. I live in Austin, so it would have to be some super hipster place that only serves craft beers. I'd just sit in the corner, sipping a beer (sans ice) and watch the rage unfold.

milk with ice
Well no wonder they got visibly upset. Who'd want to have that top layer of watered-down milk hit you when you drink it? This guy here's a psychopath. Watered-down milk...SHUDDER
...I always put a couple of ice cubes in my milk. It doesnโt taste right if it isnโt super cold. And the top layer isnโt watered down, I promise!

There was once a situation at our company event where a short beefy guy kept bugging the waiters/waitresses for a beer while we just organised sitting down and settling in and the staff starting to organise themselves per tables. The โentitled/cool short guyโ that clearly had to compensate for something asked 5 times in like 10 minutes for his beer. The colleagues on his table where already acting like โI donโt belong and am embarrassedโ, so clearly were irritated. I stood up and fetched one of the waiters (out of sight from him) and that was very annoyed by the guy and asked him to โdo me a favourโ.
He was clearly not happy for another โguyโ to ask for something and played nice and listened. I asked him to bring a glass of milk to the cry baby who was constantly asking for beer and make his team serve beer to the rest of the guys on the table 10s afterwards. Also there were ladies on the table that donโt even drink beer but later would :). The waiter gladly agreed (no money needed to bribe him or his team as a restaurant canโt afford to fire all 15-20 staff at once, also we are in Spain where service has a completely different meaning, compared to U.S.) and brought him a glass of milk once they were ready. Furthermore I asked the waiter, who would deliver the glas, to send it with my โcomplimentsโand to point at me. Once it was out the short beefy guy looked at me, I blew him a hand kiss, and the other waiters came and served the rest of the table an ice cold beer. The table cracked open and laughed. He lost it and made himself more โimportantโ. The waiter then brought him a beer shortly after to calm him down. Little did the short guy know that it was part of the plan as I asked the waiters to serve him only alcohol free beer until dinner was over. After one hour of drinking alcohol free beer and him acting up I broke it to him what was going on. He was very angry at me but in the end understood that was acting up and apologised to all (including staff) and was able to laugh about it. The team was having a great ice breaker time and the waiters some redemption and โthe guyโ told a lesson. Was a great Party afterwards. But hell that was priceless for 60 people except for one, it was a free lesson.

No waiter in the world would stop sending ice milks, especially after I raise the offer to 500 dollars.
If I were a waiter I would gladly keep putting glasses of milk with ice in on someone's table even if they were screaming in my face if I made 500 bucks each time.
I wouldn't mind receiving like the first 4 glasses of ice milk. Milk is always the most expensive drink in a restaurant. I also really like ice cold milk.
I would probably be amused if my table filled up with ice milk.
Then it backfires when the person you're fucking with out-trolls you and gladly slurps down the ice milk with a smile on their face. There are so many great ways this could play out.

FYI: I just stalked your posts to see if you are my husband. Spoiler: you aren't.
We are having an ice milk fight, started last night, and I woke up to see he stuck a thermometer in the milk shelf of our fridge this morning. I guess he's trying to "prove" it isn't freezing. But he cannot win this fight. The shelf stable milk that was at room temperature, that I put in there, rattles now.

7000 upvotes and nobodies mentioned the fact that this is possible and has been done with a chain pub/restaurants app in the UK.
You can order stuff to your table through the app but this also means you can order stuff to random tables throughout the country.. and yes you can order glasses of milk and all kinds of random shit
Someone put on social media about their birthday and to order drinks to his table and people bought the weirdest stuff they could to be sent to his table
Jon Roberts did something similar, he and his gang would go to the best nightclubs/restaurants in florida and secretly send bottles of dom or whatever to tables just to see the reaction of puzzlement on their faces. Then he would chat up the hottest woman in the club and offer her $5000+ to fuck one of his friends - eventually they all said yes.

My Grammy used to drink ice milk. I don't know why, but I like to picture her receiving all these glasses and just being thankful every time. And the waiter being more and more confused by the old Italian lady drinking the milk and you upping the ante and sending more.
Who would get so upset about ice milk? I'd be a little confused. And maybe irked once I ran out of table space, but yelling and getting upset? It's not my table or restaurant.... It's not like they dropped of your meal without the appropriate condiments and didn't come back to check on you for 10 minutes. Those servers should get flogged.
One time someone actually did that to me, and I gave no cares about it and drank the damn thing. If it's fresh enough, the ice hasn't dissolved, so you get a free glass of milk.
EDIT: Grammar
EDIT 2: Why is this getting downvoted? It's a simple anecdote people.
I mean, any person who pays to eat out is entitled to a relatively peaceful meal. What if you were the people getting the ice milk and after telling the server to stop, they kept doing it? I'm sorry for not going along with shitty people being shitty, money or not.

Not much apparently given how Eastern Europeans are some of the most trafficked people on earth.
They even ship them to poor Asian nations(Thailand, Philippines) to be whores. Some of them even as cheap as the local 'whore labor force' o_o
So yeah, buying white people isn't expensive if you're willing to go for some Slavic. Western Europeans would probably cost you more. Sort of like North East Asians I suppose.
More than the cheese they like, the bologna they smell like, and the crackers they get called... Wait, are we talking about white people or lunchables?
As a friend who grew up in Saudi explained to me (20 years ago) they enjoy flaunting their wealth and one-upping each other.
Where an American would maybe boast about some incredible deal on a car like, โI bought it for 10% below sticker, and they threw in the entertainment package for free!โ A Saudi would be boasting about how much more they paid, a la โYou spent $50,000? Ha! I spent $60,000!โ Itโs a win-win, since it means they either got a better car, or, the same car and they just donโt need to give a fuck because theyโre so rich they can afford to โloseโ the extra money. Talking about how smart or savvy you are with money is not considered a virtue there.
So yeah. Unless there has been a major cultural shift there, buying two white people would totally be a thing. The more expensive, the better.
I really need new clothes. Thatโs extravagant to me hahaha. Imagine walking around and buying everything you liked. But Iโd probably go hire a tonne of people t finish my house renovations.
A family member and her husband had a really hard time. They were always running it close on their bills, a lot of the time behind. They ended up with coming in to some money, all she wanted was new jeans. She hadn't had any since high school. Made me sad.
I just busted out the knee on my last pair of jeans that I bought in 2010. I've had a couple of pairs since that people kicked down, but they blew out already. I'm seriously like, where do I get that pants money out of my budget. Yeah, if I have a billion dollars tomorrow, I'm getting pants first

You can actually buy quality jeans very cheap at a thrift store.
If you watch for sales you can pick up American Eagle, Old Navy, Hollister, or Abercrombie and Fitch jeans for $20 pretty frequently. Those are newer styles and cuts too.
Do you have a Platoโs Closet or other used clothing store in your town? I got a pair of AG the Protege jeans for $24. They look like theyโve never been worn (they are $188 new and fit better than any other jeans Iโve ever had).
You've already gotten lots of replies with the usual "$20 is cheap!" And "Goodwill, duh!"
Without trying to assume your situation is better or worse than that, I would like to add that you may want to see if there's an MCC thrift shop near you. The one thirty minutes from me has a 50ยข section. It's frustrating because nothing's in order, but I'm if I go and dig through the racks and literally try on every pair of pants that's my size I can usually find two or three pairs. After losing 40 lbs I have clothes that fit me again for under $20. I don't often look in their other sections, but the only article of clothing I remember seeing there over $20 was an evening dress with tags still on it for $22.
We've got a bin store here too, and really my pants situation is less dire than I implied. Mostly it's that 80% of the time I wear dresses and skirts and don't bother acquiring pants. Thanks though
Watch for sales from cheaper clothing stores like Old Navy and Uniqlo. There's nothing wrong about clothing from goodwill, but sometimes you just want something that is new. You could watch r/frugalmalefashion to know when sales are gonna happen.
Iโm actually a female (I know, dumb username...) but I have been shopping at Goodwill often. The one in our little town isnโt great, but Iโve managed to find a few things there. Iโve heard the one in our neighboring bigger city is way better. I need to get there, but itโs an hour away and... yeah... gas and money and whatever... :-/
Well, for what it's worth, my girlfriend still follows frugalmalefashion because if a major retailer is having a big sale on men's clothing, then they'll probably be having a sale on women's clothing as well. But yah, Goodwill can be hit or miss. I stopped going to the one in my town cause it just doesn't have the higher quality stuff like the one in the town where I grew up.
'Grats on the weight loss. I dropped 20 myself and am trying for another 10 by the end of the year. My clothes don't fit that well either but I hate to spend money on clothes since ones I buy now may not fit in 3-4 mos.
Thanks!
I held out for a long time before I bought new clothes. Iโm a teacher and at the end of last school year I had one pair of pants that I literally had to hold up as I walked down the hall... I spent the summer scrounging thrift stores and Goodwill and found enough. My mother-in-law is an amazing thrift store shopper and has found me a few really nice things! And my mom took me โback to school shopping,โ even though Iโm 34 years old. Haha! Some women at my church got tired of me wearing big baggy clothes, so they brought me some of their wardrobe, but one of them is bigger than me and the other is smaller, so nothing fit. Haha!
People are so supportive and Iโm incredibly lucky!
Itโs insane. I often daydream about selling the house and going back to renting so it would be someone elseโs problem... :(

Are there any local thrift stores by you? They usually charge a lot less than Good Will. Plus you get that lil warm feeling inside for giving money back to the community.
Start scrape-saving what you can now and go (as) nuts (as possible) on Black Friday / Cyber Monday. Clothes are cheaper than they will be all year, and if you time it right you may be able to sell off some of your nicer, now larger, clothes on Ebay to recuperate on some of the cash you spend.
Edit: also I don't really know the nuances, but it's possible your insurer may cover the majority of getting a new roof. My parents ended up paying a $1,000 deductible and the insurance company picked up the rest, for a brand new roof. Again I don't know the ins and outs bc the roofing company approached them, but I hope this helps.
Go to Goodwill (and other thrift stores) often enough and you will have an amazing wardrobe for very little money. If you are patient and only buy stuff you love, it takes time, but you can end up with some great stuff.

Thankfully our neighbors stayed on their side of the line, but it made the woods to the north of our house thin enough to see through. Ruined some of the โcabin in the woodsโ charm we had when we bought the place...
I know what youโre saying. Weโre on 3 acres and it sounds like a lot, but itโs really not when trees start falling!
Contact your homeowner's insurance. They may cover a significant portion of the cost of a new roof because a new roof is cheaper than replacing the roof, ceiling, attic, walls, bedrooms, wiring, etc that will get destroyed if the roof fails.
This looks cool! I wish they all had sizes instead of brands in the titles. Lol. Everything I saw was still way too small for me! :)
Thanks for the recommendation!
That would be awesome. I need to look into it! Iโve given most of my old clothes away. I figure if I donโt have them around, thatโs all the more motivation to keep it off!

I feel you could contribute positively to the lives of many others if you pursued that avenue. I'd pay attention.
I spend more on food now that Iโm eating healthy than I did eating poorly. Ground beef is $1.79/lb on sale when you buy the 75/25 kind. Ground turkey I eat now is usually around $3/lb. A bag of carrots is $1.79, I can get a bag of chips for $1. Hamburger helper that feeds my whole family is $1 a box (plus $1.79 for that cheap beef) and ridiculously fatty and full of sodium, where a bag of frozen veggies to eat instead is $1.50-2. Small differences, but they certainly add up...
I think this is one of the most damaging misconceptions about fat people, that they spend all their money on food...
Also, I literally have to buy a new wardrobe. Like, every piece of clothing has to be purged and I have to buy new. I finally got good on summer clothes, and now itโs turning winter on me. Thatโs a lot more expensive than it sounds... Even at Goodwill, pants are $3.50, so a work-week worth of pants there would be $17.50, and thatโs only if they happen to have 5 pairs my size and a cut that works for me. Plus shirts, coats/jackets, underwear (which I refuse to buy used. Lol), bras, even my shoes are too big now that Iโve lost weight!
To be fair, most people probably wouldn't think about just how much money can change them. Money definitely has power on people and it's hard to not get that much to go to your head.
Go to the supermarket, buy everything that catches your eye. Jar of something fancy sounding in the foreign cuisine aisle? Don't even look at the extravagant $15 price tag. Just grab it!
My first couple years out of the house, my parents would do this whenever they'd visit (maybe twice a year?). I'd try to be practical, but they know what I like and would toss it in the cart like a little kid. And once the cart was full, they'd shoo me outside so I wouldn't see how much they spent and feel guilty.
Best. Presents. Ever.

One of the biggest downsides of being overweight.. There's a lot of things I like that they just don't make in my size. It's getting easier, but damn - I will probably cry the first time I realize that I can go to ANY store I want and buy clothes.
A tonne of people sounds like a lot more than it is. But assuming everyone weighs about 150lbs (Sorry, I live in the US and still have no idea how much a kilogram is), that's only like 15 people.

You wouldn't be able to find anything you liked. When I have enough money to buy clothes, I can't find a thing I want. When I have no money, everything looks like a great outfit!
My dream is to have a fully tailored outfit. Tailored shirt and pants are pretty common, but I want custom undies, custom socks, custom shoes, the works!
Yup, throw out everything in my closet and dresser and just spend an entire day at my favorite store and get everything.

I have been making very good money for the last few years. I bought a new car, already have a house, new mountain bike and road bike, and killer computer and A/V system. Took the family on vacation a few times. Now I just buy cool shit all the time. Iโm receiving a $2000 arcade machine in a few weeks.
Iโm not saying this to brag, but to let you know that, at some point, I really stopped getting stuff I loved and started just buying STUFF. Now I have too much crap. I need to stop.

I'd buy my local football club Belasica.The stadium is ok,but I will make it world class although still small 14-15k capacity max.(we are a 35k town,with the surrounding area 100k tops).The stadium now has around 9k capacity and 4 stands but they are not connected,I will connected them and install a retractable roof,undersoil heating,new toilets,new changing rooms,imrpove the vip section etc etc,whatever makes the stadium world class.On one side of the stadium there's a park which is beautiful,but the other side is a waste.So I will invest in a state of the art football complex on the other side with a 5 star hotel.I will take the best available coaches and start investing heavily in the youth program.I will have the best available scouts and scout the whole region (balkan's) and get the best of the best kids to train in my team.There is fierce competition in the region,but my aim would be to compete with the likes of Partizan,Red Star,Dinamo Zagreb,Olympiakos,Pao etc etc for having the best youth school in the region.I think I will be able to achieve that in 10-15 years of time.Belasica is nowhere near in terms of reputation to those clubs at the moment,but I think I can reach their level in a decade or two.

Came here to say this, although I have much different plans for my club.
I would buy the club, take it out of the competition, have the stadium demolished, keep the players on contract as long as possible (so they can't play for another club) and in the end I'd just dissolve the company entirely.
The club has been bailed out with tax-payer money several times, it's time for some payback.

Only suggestion here which could make a profit after a while. With the right scouting setup all youโd have to do is find a few promising youth players for pennies and with the right combination of skill/hype sell them on. There have to be a few unknown Mbappeโs somewhere in the Balkans.

I don't even think that's possible. Bayerns and Barcas stadiums both have double or triple more capacity then there are ppl in my town.They are both from cities with more then a million pop.I would never be able to match their revenue or popularity.Plus at the moment I will have trouble attracting football players.The club is in a small country with mediocre league reputation and quality.Even if I manage to make some football star like Modric or Dzeko,there's no where in hell he stays in the club past 18.So I will have to start slowly and aim Europa League qualification in the first 5 years.After that I will have to throw some big money to try to stay relevant and qualify for it or Champions league consistently for the next 10 or so years.Id have to widen my scouting range to world wide and try signing cheap South Americans as well.After I become among the most reputable teams in the region,I will advocate for the creating of a Balkan Super League,consisting of the best 1-3 clubs from each country.That way the fierce competition will make the clubs better and the league being better there will be more revenue,the other clubs will start pumping more money hopefully as well.More money,higher quality league means players wont leave as much.I think the quality of the league would be somewhere around the Portuguese or Russian,but in order to improve it even more all of the clubs will have to get better and invest more,not just me.If all goes well in something like 50 years time,I might reach their level,if Im not dead by then from the 2044 nuclear war between Delije and Bad Blue Boys.:D
PS:Aiming for the Champions League,not World Cup,World Cup is for countries only.

But when I day dream about this, my club is the biggest in the country within 3-4 years, biggest in the region in 8-10 years, wins the AFC Champions League in ~15 years, and my country wins the WC in about 25 years from when I became a billionaire. Your plan is a whole lot more realistic yes, but all I'm saying is, I'd aim for something like Bayern and Barca. Where, 6-7 starters on the national team play together through out the year, like Germany or Spain.
Ps. The Balkan League!? Get out of my head. I've always thought about something exactly like this.

Ah gotcha,about the WC part.And really the whole region as a whole has to improve in order any of the clubs here have a chance to become anything close to the Barcas and Bayerns of this world.Tbh Id be delighted even with the level of success Olympiakos is having these years.

I wouldn't get the pro painting, but I'd buy enough models, and all the paints instead of cheaping out and using agrax earthshade on everything, to get good at it myself.
Hey I used to pooh pooh "dippers" but I have to admit that AE and Nuln Oil get a lot of use on my table these days. If you become a billionaire, please pay GW to package them in less tippy bottles though.
IIRC "dippers" use things like wood stain. GW washes are definitely a more useful and subtle tool, and can actually look good on subjects other than Tyranids.

Warhammer doesn't seem quite as expensive when you consider how long you'll spend on each individual model.
I bought a half painted army on Ebay
and I'm really happy with my decision. Half my guys are painted well and based beautifully, and they provide a template for me to do the rest. I'm kind of crap at assembling and painting. It was also much cheaper than buying models new
We absolutely would. During the election Bernie had a calculator on his campaign site that shows this based on your income. I have a family of four and Iโm roughly middle class. We would have saved a net $2500 a year under his plan. An extra 4% or whatever in taxes is less than the roughly $600 a month I pay for health insurance

Hope your little one is okay! I've been fortunate that neither of my kids have needed ER visits. And I've been crowdfunding my healthcare (unsuccessfully) for a couple years now as I've had a rather complex health journey unfold and lost my job and went on disability....
The good news was the kid is ok. The good news is that his fever that was 105 dropped to 99. The annoying part was it when we were checking in to the ER. So basically I going to pay 600(?) to wait 2 hours in a room, cancel work for the day. Then go home. Very annoying but, having nothing wrong, but getting it checked is the second best option.

As a general rule: if you're not doing so well, vote in your own self interest; if you're doing OK or better, vote to help others rather than your own self interest.
Or make bribing legal so we can just tack on a list of donors to all the bills they try to pass and make decisions based on that. They're going to bribe them anyways, fuck it.

The payments you see are the tip of the iceberg. Crowd funding can't match in scope or length of time.
When you see that a company donated a few thousand bucks to a politician, you have to realize that they probably donated similar amounts to all of the other politicians in a similar position. They donated even more to the committee head who brings it to a vote. They donated to all of the PACs and super PACs that are paying for generic party and topic related advertisements. They probably also donated to some related nonprofits.
And the promise is effectively that they'll do it again next season.
A donation doesnโt necessarily mean that they have been bribed. Almost Democrats got as much money as Republicans from internet companies and they voted for net neutrality. But I get your point.

I have plans for my โFuck you Iโm richโ house. It would cost around ยฃ16 million for the land, construction crew labour cost, materials, architectural time and local application processes.
Itโs got the works: Designer interior; Shitloads of glass; Pools (indoors, outdoors, between doors); Gym; Underground bowling Alley; Gaming room with 6 PCs for Lan, one of each console; Beds that retract into the floor in the daytime; Automatic blinds, etc.
I like yours the most so far. I spend so much time fantasizing about my "fuck you, I'm rich" house too since I'm a homebody at heart and such wealth is probably only going to change that very slightly (I don't know if money can buy me extroversion, I suppose when you can afford exclusivity though in where you live and where you go it would be easier to handle being around other people there though) so I'd need all my fun shit available at home. The pool, the games room, yes maybe a bowling alley too, or at least an air hockey table or tennis court or some other kind of game that's not just a videogame available as another way for me to have fun with those visitors who aren't too fond of screens and controllers as a source of at-home entertainment.
I think you (and I) would have a much easier time finding friends as a billionaire too, and not just because we'd have a lot of cool toys for them to come over and play with. It's just that the money buys freedom man. I could be more social and make friends if I actually had the time and money to actually go out and do stuff. But I'm always having to watch my wallet or watch the time whenever I leave the house for anything, so what's the point? As a billionaire you could just do whatever you want on any given day. To hell with what time it is or how much the activity costs. Much more opportunities to network would open up right there, you'd be making friends before anyone even knew you had a bowling alley or an indoor/outdoor pool (like I would too lol)
I know some very wealthy people. This is not how it goes. Jealousy would taint the relationships with your oldest friends and even family. Even if you share a lot of money with them those dynamics will be changed forever. As far as making new friends you will find that just about everybody and their brother wants to hang out but do they actually like you? Would they do anything for you in an emergency? Would they talk to you if you lost all your money? It's very hard to know.
I'm not saying being rich isn't probably great or that you shouldn't pursue it, but the view of wealth creating social connections which you presented is pretty inaccurate in my experience.
Obtain a lawyer to set up a trust before you even claim your winnings. (A couple or few financial planners to split the money for investment is also a decent idea - that kind of money, as you said, fundamentally changes people. Donโt put all your eggs into one basket so one asshole advisor/investment firm can completely fuck you over.)
Buy nice things. Buy quality things. But donโt buy insanely extravagant things, or at least, not a LOT of them, and donโt show them off. Itโs one thing to buy yourself a $100,000 BMW. Itโs completely different to buy yourself a $2 million dollar Bugatti. If you are spending that kind of money in one go, make it something you can keep and enjoy at home, like art. If you go from rags to suddenly buying a mansion and ten cars, people are going to figure/assume things, but thereโs no reason to give them the full picture.
Donโt ever tell your friends or extended family exactly how much you have. For that matter, donโt even tell your parents, kids, or siblings, no matter how close you are. If anyone is crass enough to ask, all you need to tell them is that you have enough to take care of yourself and be happy.
This is exactly why if I won millions of dollars I would probably just tell my close friends & family it was a couple hundred thousand. Then buy moderately priced but nice quality things. It would just be super nice to live debt free. I don't think I would ever go full extravagant.

With a billion, you can live lavishly off even high yield savings account interest. Don't even need financial advisors.
Maybe it wouldn't cause too much damage to me as someone with only limited family and no real current friendships (as in, no-one I spend any time with outside of work) so even with new found wealth I wouldn't be risking losing too much from my life before anyway.
I'd be pretty selective with who I hang out with though. I wouldn't be interested in the types who expect to have parties or holidays all the time because that sounds exhausting to me and it gives me anxiety too. I'm sure I'd still find some friends with common interests who'd hang out with me in spite of being wealthy since most of my main interests are things not exclusive to rich people. I can't see myself making too many friends at the yacht club, but I'd probably find myself making more genuine ones in circles that revolve around my already existing hobbies.
My house would also include a round tower study reachablw only by a rock climbing wall on the inside walls. With a fireman pole to get down and a giant bouncy castle on the floor for when I fall.

Growing up we never had money for consoles. They were far too expensive to keep up yearly (online subscription), buy new games, controllers etc.
I had to make do with my Dadโs shitty Dell, which I eventually upgraded a little.
When I had the cash for a console, we didnโt own a TV. I bought a PC and the only consoles Iโve ever owned are Nintendo ones, since they come with their own screens (Wii U, DS, GBA, Switch)
Itโs funny how some things considered so basic, like a $250 bit of hardware can seem like such a luxury to people who have never had them.
I now have a Switch, a (very nice) PC and a TV, as well as a smartphone. It all feels normal now, but the xbone and ps4 are still engrained as โluxuryโ in my head I guess, even though I have a 4K โcapableโ PC on my desk.

I spend lots of time thinking of the same thing. You should check out Guy Dreier, his homes usually include tons of open areas and pools used as recreation and decoration. Highly modern though so if you're not into that forget I said anything.
I like your retracting bed idea, I hadn't thought of that. My bedroom idea is to have a hidden entrance to a slide that would go to an indoor pool, possibly even a way to have my bed automatically tip me into that slide. I have trouble waking up and not hitting snooze until I have to rush to get ready for work so being thrown into a pool should help me not go back to sleep and start my day.

I've been to Oslo and all I ate was McDonalds because everything is just too expensive. I'd brought rum through the airport and we just ordered Cola's and filled them with rum instead of buying beer.
4.5 abv, and it is considered good enough. Rolling Rock is the brand. Yuenglings is a bit more expensive but tastes a lot better. Rolling Rock is the mid teir for party beer, Yuenglings is top teir edging on sipping beer.
Party beer is a beer you bring to a party, it is fairly cheap and isn't the best tasting but you are there to get drunk not to be a critic. Sipping beer is beer that tastes good, stuff that you drink to get buzzed then maintain, not to get smashed.
Is that low or high? I could go buy 1 beer at my local liquor store for $15, I could get a real good 6-pack for $15, or I could buy a 24-pack and some snacks for $15.

Eh, there's a shit ton of people in this country when you think about it. If a third of us had just a thousand dollars in debt, that would be 100 billion dollars. Obviously not an entire third of our population has student loans to pay off, but student loans are typically in the 10,000's.

Do what every billionaire does and set p a foundation to narrowly target the cause that matters to you.
Me: Iโd specifically go after lawyers struggling in solo practice or underemployed who are saddled with high-interest student loans, but instead of paying them off Iโd partner with a bank to insure low-interest refinances of their loans down to mortgage rates to give them hope of actually paying them off one day. We arenโt looking for handouts, we just want to be treated like responsible adults and not credit criminals... I still donโt understand why the government thinks itโs right to charge 8% interest in six-figure student loans when you can get a seven-figure mortgage at 3%.
One of those is collateralized by a house in case of default.
Also, government subsidized loans are in 3-4% range. The government eats the risk premium as there is no collateral. Private loans are up to 8-9% to account for risk.
No, you are wrong on both points. Federal loans do not carry more risk than mortgages, and they have significantly higher rates than even subprime mortgages. I am not taking about private loans which are a whole other thing (and youโre wrong about those rates too), I am only talking about federal loans.
Home loans are protected only by the value of a home, which could and often does drop below the balance of the loan. Thatโs a much higher risk to the bank than a student loan which is guaranteed by the federal government and excluded from bankruptcy. A mortgage debtor can default at any time and itโs much harder to garnish wages etc than with a student loan, the government wonโt bail the bank out on that default, and the foreclosure sale proceeds are relatively unlikely to cover the outstanding balance and costs.
If youโd dealt with foreclosures much youโd also know how easy it is for a defaulted homeowner to totally trash a house on the way out, thanking its value as collateral by easily 20-40%. It also takes years to foreclose in most states, so the bank is getting no revenue while the debtor trashes the house more, tanking its value while increasing the bankโs collection costs and gaining leverage against the bank to force a write-down of the balance. Nothing of the sort is possible with student loans. And after foreclosure, the debtor needs only declare bankruptcy to leave the bank hanging on the surplus balance. They can even go through bankruptcy while remaining in the house and force the bank to eat a loss without taking the house thanks to the homestead exemption.
So thereโs no actual justification for student loans to carry higher interest higher than mortgages.
Iโm guessing that your misunderstanding about interest rates stems from the nature of your degree. Subsidized undergraduate loans do indeed have relatively favorable rates, usually comparable to mortgage rates. But those loan terms are not available to graduate and professional students. Our loans start at 6.8% and are only subsidized for part of the time that we are in school.
My law school loans had increased in balance by almost 20% before the first payment was due just from capitalized interest. For me personally, along with many other lawyers and some doctors and various other professionals, the job market has not been what I expected and since school I havenโt had the disposable income to even keep up with interest.
The only way Iโve avoided default was first by using forbearance and then income based repayment terms, under which I will have to pay a percentage of my income for the next 25 years, during which time I will pay the original balance several times over even without ever keeping pace with interest. When the remaining balance is โforgivenโ after 25 years, the bank will still have turned a hefty profit, and I will then be taxed on the โforgivenโ balance as income, on a balance higher than the amount that was ever lent to me.
If I could get my interest rate reduced to the same as my mortgage, 3.2%, that would mean the monthly interest would finally fall below my disposable income, and I would actually have a chance at paying the loan off or at least down within the course of my career, and perhaps I wouldnโt be trapped in a career I might hate for the rest of my life. Iโm really not asking much. All Iโm asking is that the government set the interest rate to reflect the actual risk to the lender which is basically zero.

For the usual real estate LTV of 80% or so, it would take a 20% drop in prices for the house to go underwater. That is fairly rare and only only occurred a single time in living memory.
Itโs temporally rare for such a drop to happen uniformly nationwide, but itโs not uncommon regionally, and itโs not difficult at all for an individual house. The owners could neglect or damage the property, the neighborhood could go downhill, an industrial neighbor could move in, etc. These events may be uncommon, but theyโre not that uncommon and theyโre far from unlikely. Mortgage balances seldom decline appreciably in the first five years so a lot could happen to put a homeowner upside down, not to mention individual economic events like a layoff or the death or disability of a spouse.

Mortgage balances seldom decline appreciably in the first five years
At current interest rates and a 30 year mortgage, you would pay down 10% of the mortgage in the first five years. Inflation would eat up another 10% of the face value of the mortgage. The LTV would be somewhere on the order of 66% at that point. A fall of 33% isn't unheard of, but it is extremely rare.
The owners could neglect or damage the property
A worry for real estate where the owner doesn't live full time, but not one where the owner does live full time. This is why non-owner occupied real estate carry far higher interest rates. I am sure it does happen, but it is rare enough that it is fine to eat the cost.
the neighborhood could go downhill, an industrial neighbor could move in, etc.
Neighborhoods don't go downhill fast enough to put the home underwater; in 10 years, the LTV is generally at the 50% mark in real terms.
not to mention individual economic events like a layoff or the death or disability of a spouse.
Academic, because the house itself still hold value. The homeowner will sale and the bank will be made whole.
Letโs not lose sight of our actual topic which is comparative risk between mortgages and graduate student loans.
In a mortgage there are only two meaningful forms of security: the net auction value of the property after accounting for foreclosure costs and the high likelihood that a foreclosed-upon debtor will damage the premises and the borrowerโs credit score. Any other protections the bank starts out with are easily eliminated by bankruptcy.
In a graduate student loan, there are four: the federal governmentโs guarantee of the principal value to the lender, the borrowerโs credit score, easy access to wage garnishment, and immunity to bankruptcy.
Iโm not aware of any event short of the death of the debtor that results in the loan servicer not getting paid the principal value of the loan and a substantial profit. I am aware of many scenarios that result in a bank taking a loss on a mortgage.
There is zero justification for student loans carrying higher interest rates than mortgages.

Iโm not aware of any event short of the death of the debtor that results in the loan servicer not getting paid the principal value of the loan and a substantial profit.
IBR and a low income will do the trick on forcing massive losses. Eyeballing the rates, if the debtor is on IBR, the bank is losing money, just a question of how much. (Interest of 6%, risk-free rates in the 4% range for a profit of 2%. Making 2% for 25 years for a total of 50%, and then lose 100% when the IBR forgiveness hits)
Eyeballing the death rate tables, just early death rates would be far larger than losses on the mortgages.
No, because the fed still pays them the difference. Plus the majority of debtors do in fact make a high enough income (eventually) to pay off the loans. What happens is that the balances rapidly rise while they are on IBR or in forbearance, such that when they finally get a good job theyโre paying triple the original balance by the time theyโre done paying.
Itโs absurdly profitable for the banks. They are predatory loans as currently structured.
A simple change to a risk-adjusted interest rate, comparable to mortgages if not lower, would be an appropriate and sensible policy to adopt. But banks have better lobbyists than consumers, so itโs never going to happen. We are screwed.

Not for private loans. For the federal loans, the Feds need to make good the difference on the people who don't pay it back.
We arenโt talking about private loans. How did you miss that from the very beginning of this discussion
And every subsequent comment?
We are talking about federal loans, which are issued and insured by the federal government, which absorbs all of the risk, and serviced by private banks, who absorb all of the profit.

The banks are just servicers on the Federal loans from what I remember; the Federal government itself needs to make a profit on the people who don't die to make up for the people who do.
No, the government absorbs the risk and the bank gets to keep the profit. The interest is a gift from Congress to whichever banks have the most generous lobbyists.
Because the banks absorb no risk, there is no justification for their exorbitant profits.

Which exact program are you talking about here? Obviously not the private ones, and obviously not the DOE ones either.
Iโm tired of repeating myself. If youโre too lazy to scroll up to the comments at the beginning of the discussion, I donโt owe it to you to spare you the trouble.
I see you didn't reply, but for some reason this comment has been bothering me so I've come back to follow up. It's very disturbing to me how uninformed the general public seems to be about federal student loans.
Undergraduate Federal Stafford loans to my knowledge exist at two interest rate tiers. I am not sure what distinguishes those tiers, but the rate for Federal Stafford loans whether subsidized or not can be as high as 6.8%. I currently have four Stafford undergraduate loans, two subsidized and two not, and two at 3.03% and two at 6.8%. I suspect that the difference is solely based on the date when the loans originated.
For graduate loans, I am aware of (and participating in) two Federal student loan programs. The first is the graduate version of Stafford. To my knowledge this only exists at the 6.8% rate and has a relatively low loan amount that is not enough to cover tuition and fees at many graduate or professional institutions. Because of that, many graduate and professional students also rely on federal Graduate Plus loans (not to be confused with undergraduate PLUS loans which are parent loans). I have no idea what PLUS actually stands for on the graduate loans, but it is not the same as the undergraduate PLUS loan which is a parent loan. Subsidies for all federal graduate loans were eliminated during the second term of the Obama administration, so the rate simply is what it is. For Grad Plus loans, the interest rate is 7.9%.
By contrast, the prevailing rate for home mortgages is a notch over 3% right now, right in line with the old rate for undergraduate loans, which may or may not be available to today's students; I haven't looked into current rates for new students in quite some time.
As discussed above, this rate disparity doesn't make a whole lot of policy sense. Because the Federal Government absorbs all of the risk associated with these loans, and there's minimal risk in the first place because of enhanced collection mechanisms made available to student loan servicers and immunity from bankruptcy, the banks are getting paid a huge windfall for very little risk and very little work. While income-driven repayment options are available, these options would seldom result in the lender getting back less than 100% of the principal financed, but would often result in the borrower never doing much more than catching up with interest.
For me personally, dropping the rate to a mortgage-level rate would actually bring about a realistic chance of paying the loans off. My loan balances were just shy of $150k upon graduation and are significantly higher now even though I've been paying income-based payments for four years now. Because interest alone on the loans is close to a thousand dollars a month, anything less than about $12,000 a year in payments results in the balance continually increasing. Unfortunately, since law school, my disposable income has been less than that; contrary to popular misconception, only a small minority of attorneys make six-figure salaries right out of school; many of us never will, and most take years to get there if we ever do. But suppose the rate was cut from 8% to 3%. At that point, I'd be able to make a dent on the principal with as little as $5000 a year in payments. That I could actually swing, and even paying the same amount that is currently going to just interest I'd have a chance of paying off the loans within about 15 years, long before the 25 year "forgiveness" expiration. But supposing I do have to ride it all the way out for 25 years, at $12,000 a year, I will have paid $300,000 in interest but would still owe (and be taxed on) most of the original loan amount.
If you really think that's fair, then I definitely have nothing else to say to you.

Note that the government itself seems to make a considerable amount of money on Stafford loans; many activists are not happy about that and they want to change it. As far as I can tell, a fair amount of Stafford interest goes back to pay the treasury to cover the defaults, which are considerable.
The prevailing home mortgage interest rate is in the 4% range right now. As someone who is actively getting a mortgage, I can tell you that one without looking it up. Wells Fargo backs me up on this one.
That I could actually swing, and even paying the same amount that is currently going to just interest I'd have a chance of paying off the loans within about 15 years, long before the 25 year "forgiveness" expiration.
For a quick note on this one, banks have to pay for money too. The price that banks have to pay is closely related to the mortgage rate, because margins on mortgages are very thin, about 4% or so for a 25 year term. Plugging that into the calculator, anything below about 9.6K a year or so loses the bank money if remaining amount is forgiven at the end. I am willing to bet that the treasury-bank system as a whole loses money on anyone who is on IBR. Some more, and some less, but if someone is on IBR, there is basically no chance of a profit.
I am personally willing to bet money that the loan forgivenesses at the end of the 25 years won't be taxed. That isn't how politics works, and no future administration will want the optics of that.
As for fairness, I know that I wouldn't want to give a loan to students on Stafford terms; basically, defaults are too high and IBR is extremely detrimental to the lender because so many people will pay back very little. They will probably break even on you, or lose a bit of money, but on many IBR cases, they lose far more.

You can buy it for a lot less. The debt is for sale at a much lower value. Someone did it as a publicity stunt a little while back, wrote off a bunch of people's loans for about $4,000 I think
My father in law is paying off all my debt as a "new start" sort of thing. He figured I dealt with cancer already, so he could at least get rid of another cancer.
That is extravagant...if you were a billionaire, your credit score wouldnโt matter since you would never need to borrow money again. You could never pay, default on the loans and it literally would not impact your life in any meaningful way.
Well not 100%. When you default on your loans it's not like "fuck it I don't pay lalalalalalaalal" and you get your credit bombed.
If you owe a couple thousands sure bevusee you're not worth it. But higher stuff you can get sued for. Of course you can default or declare bankruptcy. But good luck on that proceeding with a cool bill in your bank account.
That's why you go in front of a judge when you declare bankruptcy. He looks at what assets you have, etc. Decides what assets you can sell. To pay X.. Create a sort of payment plan. Blah blah.
In this case you don't pay, get sued, judge rules that you have to pay because you have way more than you need to pay that loan. And that's it

I'd hire someone to fight it for years, and right before going to court, pay them what they are owed in full. To Make them waste their time and money fighting it.
But that's the problem.. You can't just endlessly fight something in court just because you want it to. That's reading too much into shows and sensationalist articles.
Government will put the case on it. As soon as a judge sees you don't want to pay student loans and have a billion in cash that will go into the docket in 5 seconds flat. And he will rule in about 5 seconds.
You can appeal, but the next court will again put it in the docket so fast.
If you want a continuance, you need to convince the judge that you need one. I'm this particular scenario.. Bankruptcy with a bil in cash or assets over student loans.. He's going to say.. "lol no" slap you with whatever fines and fees they can find and put you back in the docket.
As far as eating their money. Your Cse I'm bankruptcy court would be so retardedly simple that they can just put their newest underpaid lawyer fresh out of school and leave it at that.
And that's why you will never be a billionaire. There are plenty of situations where it's actually cheaper to borrow money then use your cash. Even without being 'rich' .
The most common method is called leveraging, borrowing money at lower interest rates to fund higher-returning investments.
Just make sure your investments don't crash and burn.
Incidentally in my country where student loans are uncommon I have had friends whose parents chose to take them since they were going to re-invest the loan amount. Also helped that the most common student loan in my country accrues 0 interest during the period of time the student is still studying.
So this means someone could take a student loan, invest while studying (surprisingly easy), then pay back everything just before they graduate and still come out ahead.
Well, paid off is a bit inaccurate. Really, the debt was just shifted to an equity line with lower interest, but the debt is off my shoulders.

So this is why student loans (fedloan) hates me.
I was going to set up a direct debit with them to save 0.25% interest on my loans. They already have my bank info and routing number, because I've saved that information in my Fedloan account to pay them every month.
So after going to set the direct debit up, I have to set up a 6 digit pin. Ok, sure. Whatever. Then it asks me for my driver's license number, years lived at my current address, SSN, and DOB. THIS INFORMATION IS ALREADY ASSOCIATED TO MY ACCOUNT. I comply and fill out all the required information. Then it starts to ask me questions to verify my identity.
FINE
Can we hurry this up now? After answering the questions, the next step tells me they cannot confirm my identity. Now they want me to mail/fax 3 forms of ID (driver's license, SS card, Passport, Birth Certificate, and/or Prior years W-2).
FUCK YOU FEDLOAN

Same. And then I would call up my brother, my cousins, and some friends and offer to pay off their student loans too. Then i would call my cousins that haven't graduated or gone to college (or a tech school) yet and start paying their tuition... but only their tuition. Bills and living expenses are on them.
And then I would treat myself to an exteded vacation around the world.

Some people, as adults, don't have enough time to keep up with it all.
For instance, I enjoy Hearthstone. But I'm a full grown man with a full-time job, several other hobbies, and a family (well, until today, but I digress). I don't fire up Hearthstone very often, but when I do, I want to play a competitive deck and that requires either money or time.
I only have money.
Even if I had extra time, I could spend that time at work, and make many times the equivalent value I'd get from playing the game. So, I'd have leftover time.
In many games the "grind" of daily quests etc isn't even fun, so it's not like it's way better than work. My work, anyway--which I rather enjoy.

$300 for a new character plus probably another $200 to fully gear them then you have mods (similar to runes in summoner war) for the best ones are $20 a piece, you need 6 and aren't guaranteed to roll what you need.
Haven't played in a while but at least you could straight up buy almost any character you wanted.
I switched to summoners war and I'm baffled why anyone would spend 50 dollars for a 0.5% chance at getting a useful monster. You can't just save up for a month and buy that monster you want, you have to gamble for it no matter how much you save.
I've played for a couple months, never spent money, but I just read your comment and immediately uninstalled the game. Thanks for the push I needed.

Tyrant Unleashed is a shitty whale hunt guppy card game where the pay cards have stats literally 10-20x higher than the f2p and every 2 weeks they come out with new cards that are strictly better than the set before. I genuinely think to have kept up with the game and stayed on top you would have had to drop maybe hundred thou (at least many tens) considering these biweekly card injections cost around 500-2000 to get the full powered cards

Depending on how many billions your billionaire status is made of, you probably wouldn't be able to straight-up buy Blizzard.

There is something wrong with that, because youโre supporting the idea of games as a service, instead of a product. I personally like to pay once for my games, maybe a little bit more for optional expansion content later.
Because that gets ingrained into the business model, and now nobody can buy any game and just own it, even if you already paid $60 for it. We are already seeing this happen with Forza 7, Shadow of War, and Battlefront 2. The games make it prohibitively hard to progress without dropping additional money. Now, I do think subscription MMOs are different. In a game like WoW, the cost is consistent, and made clear to purchasers of the game upfront.
It also doesnโt help that so many IAP based F2P games are low quality, no matter how good they are at wasting time on your phone.
F2P games aren't bad to pay for, my dude. You're supporting a game that you like to play. I can understand how someone paying thousands on a game is upsetting, but moderation is obviously key here.
I completely understand that good games aren't free, it's the business model I have issues with. And by forking over, you're supporting games heading in that direction. That, and the majority of F2P games I've seen have been of fairly low quality (with a few notable exceptions).
I've played quite a few F2P games, both mobile and console and I would beg to differ, but that's just a matter of opinion.
But regardless, if I occasionally spend 20 bucks on a F2P game, it's far from bad and isn't likely to have any effect on the way we're going. Like I said, spending money on a game isn't inherently bad.

The issue isn't players buying casual IAPs for games in foreign markets. The issue is publishers trying to abuse IAP systems in order to extort as much money from players as possible.
My spending in Warframe has no bearing on Blizzard's decision to put lootboxes in a AAA $60 game. Trying to pin the blame on the players is disingenuous, condescending and a giant dick move. If you really want to get angry, don't get angry and me and my mates who enjoy supporting F2P games. Get angry at Activision-Blizzard for shitting on their customers. Save your sanctimonious circlejerk for the people who need to hear it.
I don't really find any mobile games fun, mostly for this reason. What strikes me as incredibly bizarre is that often you pay in order to skip waiting periods, or long grinds. That means you're literally paying in order to play the game less.

Exactly! I have no problem kicking a developer a couple bucks to remove ads, but if a "game" just revolves around attempting to circumvent waiting, then it isn't a game, it's a chore.
South Park did a great episode about this - "Freemium isn't free", and it's worth watching even if you don't normally like the show.
Basically, mobile games are designed to be 'sort of fun'. Fun enough to want to keep playing, but not so fun that you enjoy playing it without paying for things. When you pay you progress in the game, making you feel like you acomplished something, and in games that use the 'pay X for Y more lives' format, the difficulty is actually lowered for a while, and things that have a random chance of occuring, like receiving a power-up, have their percentages increased.
Not so much that it's obvious, but enough for the player to enjoy the game more, and subconciously associate paying with fun.
This model isn't even designed to get a lot of players to pay for things, it's to get a few players (commonly called 'whales') addicted, because those few players will sink massive amounts of money into the game.
This is really just the top of the iceburg, and it's quite scary when you look into it.
Haha I'm a big fan of south park and remember this episode. My previous comments may have made it seem like I spent a lot of money on mobile games. While I do find this aspect fun, I don't actually spend much on them (maybe $50 total for a particularly addictive gamel). I meant it as sort of a joke, because I imagine a billionaire would be able to buy these in app purchases without a care in the world, and I know they can be quite addictive. Sorry about any controversy I may have caused.
No worries, just wanted to share an opinion and some facts.

The other hardcore spenders that are in the know are all reporting me for cheating, and I'm on a first-name basis with most of their customer service department and probably at least one dev so that I can always get my account restored quickly.

Find a game you like
Buy the company
Buy all the in-game purchases to your heart's desire
Essentially get paid with your own money
Sell company
?????
PROFIT!
I'm sure it's been brought up somewhere in the hidden comments but seriously, if you just want some throwing around money for mobile games and have an android device, Google Opinion Rewards is essentially made for that. You don't really rack in the cash that quickly but it's enough for somebody who does most of their gaming on a computer and just dicks around with mobile games.

I'd buy a well-bred grey racehorse and name him Bender B Rodriguez. I've thought about this for a long time and it's exactly 18 characters which is the limit set by the Jockey Club for naming a horse.
I would enter Bender in a race and get joy out of hearing his name in the valley and hopefully standing in the winner's circle with him.

Buy a dozen horses, name them all bender and enter them in the race that way you guarantee a win every time.
Bender A rodriguez through the turn. Bender H rodriguez closing the gap followed closely by bender F rodriguez. Bender C rodriguez out of nowhere. Bender C rodriguez. Bender C rodriguez. BENDER C RODRIGUEZ.

not really. just shorten those names like for example : A rod through the turn. H rod closing the gap followed closely by F rod. C rod out of nowhere. C rod. C rod. BENDER C RODRIGUEZ.
The name itself could be argued to be creatively significant. The name invokes the image of the robot character which is a trademark. It is also intentionally named after the character itself. Since you can't really argue intent, I'd imagine they'd err on the side of caution and just veto the name.
I used to say that if I was crazy rich I would buy a really good race horse and name it Glue if We Lose... then I moved to Saratoga and was told by a few owners that wouldn't pass the standards. I could just imagine Glue if We Lose fading on the back stretch at Belmont in his run at the triple crown. The whole crowd excited for their horse, but also said at the fate of beautiful Glue.

Theres more than one meaning to majority.

Interesting. I've created a large online poll for this and opinion is completely split on the definition of the word "majority".
My argument would be:
Barnet FC played 30 games last season. They won 14 of them drew 12 and lost 4. Did they win the majority of their games?
Seeing as they did not win, more than they won, how can you say they won the majority of their games?
Orrr: Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the US, responsible for 23.4% of all deaths. Would you call that a majority?

A house, re-purposed from it's original use- maybe a barn? Keep the regular red paintjob to it and all. Put in a loft bedroom with built-in furniture and room for posters and maps and art. Right under my room would be a massive kitchen with a double oven, a gas stove, counter space galore (blue granite), a rolling island in the middle of it with a rack for all my pans hanging from the ceiling above its 'usual' space. There would be a huge fridge and a working dishwasher (one that wouldn't break in the first three months of use, actually cleans the food off the dishes), and a pantry, in addition to the cabinets that are everywhere.
It would have a breakfast bar between the living room and kitchen on the left, seating enough for 6 people, and on the right, a black granite bar, fully stocked. Further to the left, I'd have an actual breakfast nook, settled right up between some bookshelves in front of a window, and a bit farther down from that, a fireplace (mantle and all) with a plush rug in front of it and the comfiest couches and recliners (2) that I could find.
The right side with the bar would have dimmer lighting compared to the left (bright, open and airy), a pool table and dartboard with enough space between them that no one's going to get in another person's way while they play. There'll be at least one or two tables nestled against the wall here too, 3 chairs per table with dark green upholstery, soft like memory foam (but doesn't keep the butt print when you stand up).
And once I have all that...get myself some pro cooking lessons so I can put the kitchen through its paces and practice making drinks for my friends at my personal bar.
You like breakfast? I feel like you said breakfast a lot.

Can I make you my second extravagant purchase after I wake up and have become a billionaire (it's okay, I'll be a billionaire. They can own people still).
I plan to buy a large apartment complex sized building and/or land and turn it into housing for all my friends and fighting company mates (Black Company of Amtgard. A local LARP).
They would love to have a pro bartender to make drinks and don't worry, they can mix their own drinks if ya feel like doing anything else honestly.
(Obviously you would get your house made to your specs here, though the bar and kitchen area would be duplicated in the main communal area)

Start making your offers, I'm listening! (if the offer doesn't include a sword, I'm off the table :P)
Apartment buildings would be my second purchase, actually, keep them as housing for other people, try to make them decent, maybe with some community gardens on the rooftop/in the common areas?
I'm no pro bartender, but I'm p sure I'd get there pretty quickly!
Counter offer to the bar itself being replicated in the communal area (or in addition to): a tavern across the street where Black Company can meet and other larpers can visit while still in gear (though, weapons are obviously checked at the door) to continue the larp, even without the fighting
This doesn't sound that expensive, more upper middle class project than billionaire.

I mean, it's the first extravagant purchase I'd make if I became a billionaire. Idk if I even qualify as 'lower middle class' at this point, so it seems pretty lavish to me, even as a safety net/necessity purchase (in case the billions happen to disappear overnight).
Say, send me a billion, I'll hire someone to do up the house, and then you can tell me about other, more lavish things I can do in the meantime :P

As it's no longer 3 in the morning, I can very easily see your point- the potential for fire (esp if I want a gas stove) is high...Rotate the loft to be over the right side bar area, the lower ceiling will help with the dimmer light situation that I want over there.
And maybe add a balcony/catwalk thing that goes around the entire perimeter of the place, for more reading nooks and high vantage points
Hmmm good idea, especially as if you were to add a fire escape to that balcony it wouldn't matter so much if you were trapped upstairs. Also, hopefully, the oven wont get left on! :D
I'll have to agree with you on that one. The search continues for a girl that's interested in a barn conversion whose function revolves mostly around eating breakfast foods.

Yes to all except the water tower (heights and I don't get along very well). The silos and rice dryers have a variety of shapes for some cool options (instead of just the grain silo cylinders, bc those would feel too closed in to me, and finding furniture to fit in the curves of the building might be awk).
The cargo containers would be fun, you could make them into module living, each one with its own distinct use with...I'd say two or three in the center as a living room/meeting space, and then the rest radiating outward around the center like spokes on a wheel. Doublestack some of them to get that loft area anyways, and if you do it right you can make yourself a little outdoor balcony area too!
And- a small church with those stained glass windows, spread out through the entire place? It'd be gorgeous
This is amazing! Iโm thinking you day dream about this? Itโs my go-to daydream to think about how Iโd build/ renovate my dream home!

There's a ton of reasons you don't want to re-purpose an old barn. Aside from the smell and the rats/bats/etc, you'd essentially have to completely rebuild the entire structure to get it to be a solid, livable structure. Putting a foundation alone that would pass code as a livable structure would basically mean dismantling the barn itself.
Adomania ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:17:31 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

To each their own, right? :) I've done the traditional 3 bedroom (with a detached garage), and I don't hate it, but I feel like the openness of the converted barn would be something really nice. And, I don't usually decorate all that much, so I'd probably be fine with the majority of the personalization of the house being the structure itself.
(Worst case scenario: I'm still a billionaire, so I buy a different house to live in and rent out the barn to tourists :P)

Edit- wow, my half cocked comment on a three hour old post seems to have exploded. For relevant information to all the people suggesting hitmen, i love my wife you kooks, it just turned out that since i don't believe anymore in the church that a marriage is probably not something i should have done. If i have everything losing half of it would feel like nothing, but since i have nothing losing half of it would feel like everything.
Edit2- seriously people, stop suggesting hitmen, it isn't remotely cool or funny.
it just turned out that since i don't believe anymore in the church that a marriage is probably not something i should have done.
Despite what the church tells you, marriage is a civil commitment and not religious. Your marriage's validity and worth isn't any less because of your level of involvement in the church. It's also why we go to city hall to get our marriage licenses, and to court to get divorces.
Yes but without the teachings of my religion I likely wouldn't have rushed into it like i had.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 22:43:19 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Incorrect. It's both, provided you are religious. Or, depending on the religion, it's only religious. Except if you live in a state with common law marriage, in which case it's both again. Unless it's polygamous, which is still kind of illegal except that the Supreme Court technically made polygamy constitutionally protected with the stupid way they allowed gay marriage.
In any case, modern civil marriages evolved from religious marriages. No religious text requires civil approval for their religions marriage except Islam, and then only if the country is put under Sharia law.
What many religious people don't realize is that saying that civil approval is required for a religious marriage is actually blasphemous. They're literally saying that their god requires the approval of a human government before he/she/it can approve it.
Which is why I point out the difference. I find the vehement defense of blasphemy by the devoutly religious to be exceedingly humorous. As much as I dislike Islam, Sharia law actually makes the religion and the government the same thing. This effectively eliminates the entire issue of blasphemy while still allowing fantastic amounts of oppression. It's shitty, but ingenious.
Fuck that. A billion dollars is "make a bitch disappear" money.

"I don't believe in the church anymore, and the whole religion-sanctioned marriage thing just sticks in my craw. So this way you get half the money, which is totally cool by me, and we can still live together and do everything we would have otherwise."
She sipped her coffee and thought for a long moment before replying. "Oh, what the hell. Sure. Why not?"

โShortly before Fipke sold most of his Ekati claim to BHP Billiton, his marriage, faltering for years after so much time in the field, fell apart. At the time it was the largest divorce settlement in Canadian history. "Cost me $200 million, hey," Fipke says. "Best money I ever spent!"โ
You sure she's not going to try and take all of it? You need to keep it hidden till after the divorce, and then deposit it, so she can't take it from you.
Hide your wealth, get a divorce, create a corporation, put all the money in that LLC corporation. Hire yourself as a groundskeeper with a meager salary in a distant location. Take pictures on your official social media occasionally doing real work for the place, even if you only do it long enough to get dirty.

Why do you feel like your marriage has anything to do with church? Plenty of non-religious people get married. It's about love and commitment and lower taxes, right?
While that might be true for some people, i got married out of both a fear of being alone and because the church taught that we should put starting a family above silly things like schooling or financial security.
I love her in the way that I love a brother or a sister or a parent or a really good friend, I just don't find myself being romantically attracted to her which is a problem because she wants to have children.
Well, really it's a problem because you should be romantically attracted to your own spouse not just because she wants children. Marriage doesn't necessarily imply children, but should imply romantic love. I hope you can tell her how you really feel. You both deserve to be happy, even if its not with each other. Best of luck to you.
Good point but, eh, that isn't r/niceguys material anyhow. I have a giggle at r/niceguys every now and then and it is way more full of 'but I bought her a friendship ring and she didn't instantly put on a slutty nurse costume and take my temperature from my cock in her mouth' than this.c

I love my job but my employer is the devil, with that much money I would open the same business in front of all of their stores and offer 50% discount, better service and would do anything just to put them out of business.
Definitely not a lawyer but I've certainly read that companies (like Walmart for instance) can't just swoop sustaining losses by selling well under the market value to put people out of business. It's anti-competitive and falls under Antitrust laws.
No, they profit on their sales still. But their profits from merchandise are negligible. They make a lot of money from stocking fees from the companies who want their stuff sold in their stores.
Mom and Pop Shop sells a widget for $2.50 and profit $0.50.
Walmart sells a widget for $2.01 and profits $0.01 but charges Widget Inc. $0.49 to carry their product.
Also, instead of selling 1 widget they sell thousands.
It is is illegal to intentionally operate at a loss to intentionally remove competition. This is becuase after there is no competition you skyrocket your prices and you have a monopoly.
See I hate my bosses so much if I was a billionaire I'd buy the company that owns my company and then Fire literally every single person except for 3 of my coworkers
Not quite legal, but you can definitely put things at the same price but offer way better quality. That way, youโre technically not undercutting the competition, youโre just doing things better. Excessively good customer service, like asking if they would like water, tea, coffee, if youโre a retailer, or free refills, if youโre food based, would seriously help. Having free Lyft rides as a perk also works! Thereโs a late night eatery that has a partnership with lyft or uber where they will put ten dollars credit towards your ride home if you have a drink there. They want to keep drunk drivers off the road and itโs works amazingly for them.
I'm late, but I like my idea. I'd sit on a corner in a tux, monocle, top hat and a sign that says go. Every time someone walks past me I'd give them 200$.

I quit my shitty job at Denny's in a similar fashion:
I had two horrible managers, so I went down to my local sex shop and bought a prostate stimulating dildo and two bags of gummy penises. Wrapped them up in gift wrap and got cards in labeled envelopes, it looked like a really nice gesture.
For the dildo, the card read: "(Name redacted): this might feel a little better than the stick you've got shoved up there now. I quit."
For the gummies: "(Name redacted): I think I speak for everyone, not just myself, when I say 'go eat a bag of dicks', so here's two. I quit."
Left them politely on the front counter with a third manager who had just started and walked out with a smile.
Awesome! Quitting is an art, on the other hand I have a friend who just sent his notice at McDonald's and they're shocked he still comes to work everyday

The subscriber count is just that, subscribers to the subs. The way it works is you send in proof of having bought winrar, and then the mod guy makes a post with your name and a reason he makes up.
7zip has better compression and is open source/libre software. Whereas WinRAR is proprietary and requires a license to compress (Not to the end-user, but if you want to support .rar compression in your software).
Nothing infuriates me more than downloading a *.rar file that was compressed with non-vanilla options that requires me to install a worse compression library (or w/e).
WinRAR and the .rar format is something that should die already IMO, there are better alternatives around by now, but since everyone knows winrar they tend to stick to it regardless of better alternatives.

If you have to make tea with teabags, you, sir, are a rapscallion. You English claim to rule to waves, but we Turks outclass you at every turn when it comes to tea making.

Now, I agree with your first point; no chocy biccies allowed in tea, but now ginger snaps?! You can't have those for the exact same reasons! Ugh. The ginger gets all through the tea, and it tastes awful, then the lovely ginger snap gets all soggy, and doesn't have the gingery kick anymore...

I fear your in danger of slipping into a double standard Sir.
Actually I'd say they are quite the opposite, for you see if you dip a chocolate hob-nob in tea, the chocolate melts off into the tea, whereas a custard cream holds the filling inside the two biscuits making sure you get all of the biscuit inside your mouth.
I'm pretty sure you're gonna want the best tea for the money. But considering I know jack shit about tea, lemme do you a solid and get an expert on the line.

Now, to make it lavish, you have to fly to Salzburg Austria, visit the Sacher coffee house and have one of their world-famous tortes and their exclusive-blend tea. Damn that's some good tea, blend of Earl Gray and Jasmine.
There's a very light type of tea not sold for export in China (maybe sold at duty-free shops, though) that is ridiculously expensive and has the effect of making regular water taste sweet after sipping. Is it worth the money? Probably not. But with billions, who cares?
My dad was a middle aged white minister. He also didn't have a lot of money. So, he went to Walmart and got the cheapest rims he could find. He drove his beater with spinning rims for years. :)
Nah, pimping out a plane consists of custom painting the cushions with African animals, and the carpet design being a river that you used to go on safari (first as hunting, but then as photography as it became obvious that species were becoming endangered) as a kid.
You can get as many as you can pay for. There aren't many restrictions outside of military aircraft. You'd still need to study for the training/exams though...that'd be the hard part.
Pff. Why go the easy route? Develop and have implanted your very own cybernetic Bluetooth enabled sperm valves! Just use a handy smartphone app to allow the little guys through when you find a suitable partner with which to have a child. You've got the money

They cut the connection between the place where sperm is created and the urethra. You can still ejaculate, but no sperm makes it to the urethra. Your balls still produce sperm and testicles, and the process is reversible most of the time.
It's reversible some of the time. If you change your mind about having kids after getting one, you might still be able to, but you shouldn't rely on that possibility when deciding to get one because there is a significant chance you won't be able to get it successfully reversed.

Even if reversal fails, you can still harvest the sperm iirc. Makes having kids much harder and more expensive, but having kids is hard and expensive anyway.

You made it sound like every individual would get one, not each family. Each family sounds much more fun
Butter, cook, nanny would all count as "staff", train would be UBER cool but I do a lot of hiking/camping so I need to have boats, paddle boards, quads... all the toys close at hand ๐
How so? We'd be traveling together, camped at the same sites together. Doing all the tourism activities together and hiking, kayaking, biking. Even generally camping/rving with friends I tend to eat together, play cards/board games together, have campfires together. Pretty much every second except for sleeping and showering is spent together when I go camping with friends.
HA HA! I was thinking like canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, mountain bikes, quads... Xbox + games, but now that you mention it DEFINITELY bad ass dragon toys, artillery or nerf guns, a ton of Vinyl Pop bobble heads, collectibles of Star Wars... Marvel... everything! ๐

I absolutely hate flying; Iโve become extremely sensitive to turbulence / get air sick very, very easily, and Iโm scared as hell of it now.
Iโd say Iโd buy a private plane & pilot, but no.... Iโd get one of those tour buses....like super, totally tricked out; spend what; a couple million on one?
Iโd get one of those & a pro driver. Never fly anywhere again.
If I wanted to travel overseas, Iโd definitely charter a private plane though. Fuck off, TSA.
If you go to a doc, you can get xanax or ambien for flight anxiety. You'll either be asleep, 9r you won't give a single fuck about the possibility if a plane crash
If you want a cheap-o version, hang around the airport and find someone to take you up and do a few zero g dives. They're quite fun, and most planes can handle a few seconds of 0 and even negative gs without issue.
I would do the same but fill the whole thing with chips dorritos all kinds and limited editions and stuff like that then get a very expensive suit and a buttler to fly with me throw the snacks into air as I would fly with my mouth open and eat them as my companion would announce in a classy manner what brand it is what year they started making them etc. you know like if it was some fine wine tasting.
Go to an Alamo Drafthouse and get a decent meal with the show. You don't even need to be rich as it's affordable. Just line up 4 hours before the movie to make sure you get a seat.

Well, the cards at this point would be about 20 years old, so I imagine best way to store them would be triple sleeved in toploaders in a dark place. If the room they're in has high humidity? the cards will warp. Is it sunny? the ink will fade.
And if they're shinies? you're fucked unless you have weight on them holding them flat because late 90's early 2000's foil cards by WOTC (publisher of MTG and the early Pokemon games) have an issue where humidity changes will cause the card to expand, but the foil sticker on the front doesn't expand so the entire card curls up over time.
because late 90's early 2000's foil cards by WOTC (publisher of MTG and the early Pokemon games) have an issue where humidity changes will cause the card to expand
The problem is actually worse these days. Even non-foils will warp after like 3 months if they're just lying out in the open.
Sun damage or light damage causing fading, basically. I don't personally care too much about my cards, but if they're actually expensive and may be being sold on some people do care. A lot.
That's fair, I hadn't thought about that. But I mean, if the Mona Lisa can be in a room with lights, so can the cards.
But I suppose you probably also want natural light in your room (which I'm assuming is worse for the cards?) in which case I see the logic. Just get near mint first edition I guess, lol.
EDIT: FYI to future readers, it turns out the real Mona Lisa is displayed, dunno where the other guy got his info
Yeah, it's natural light that's the problem largely. Having them displayed in a dark room would evidently do nothing unless there was damp in the room or something. Strong lights can cause a difference, but honestly we haven't had them long enough to properly study it (which only proves the damage from unnatural light is pretty much unnoticeable). Don't know what the guy talking about the Mona Lisa is saying!

CX316 ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 12:35:24 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nah, you go Beta. Alpha cards were misscut due to worn out dies being used and the cards can't be played with unsleeved, so unless the rarity issue has flipped things in recent years since I stopped paying attention, Beta cards are generally worth more than their Alpha versions.
(EDIT: Ok, looking it up on SCG apparently nowadays the Alpha of black lotus is worth about 1/3rd more than the Beta)
I can tell you havent played in a long looooong time.

well, I played Vintage back when the question of whether or not you could play with your Black Lotus with non-opaque sleeves or not was enough to alter the price of the card... also back when they were like $2000 rather than $20000
You're almost right- they didn't miscut them, the corners just started more round in Alpha and they tightened them up in beta. Some beta cards are worth more because you can't play alpha cards in tournaments, sleeved or not- things like power9 are more valuable in Alpha, but some cards that are heavily tournament played are more valuable in beta
CX316 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:32:45 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The rounded corners was because they used old cutting dies like I said. I suppose misscut was a poor choice of words considering it was intentional, but the issue was them changing the dies between Alpha and Beta and the Beta ones being the same shaped dies they then used for the next like 25 years, so it's the shape of the Alpha ones that made it so (at least back when I played vintage) they had to be in opaque-backed sleeves for tournament play. The only ones that (at least then) couldn't be played at all were the ones with the square cut corners because those were "Collector's Edition" copies and aren't technically real cards.
mama_tom ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:32:56 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So you can't play alpha cards in tournaments because of their value? That seems really stupid, or am I reading this wrong?
No, value doesn't effect playability. I was suggesting that you can't play them because they have a different corner rounding that could be felt through the sleeve. Higher level MTG tournaments are pretty strict about "marked cards," scuffed sleeves, or any other physical deformity in your deck that could help you cheat and find certain cards through touch (even if your sleeves are too dirty they will make you re-sleeve your deck). Because Alpha cards have a 'rounder' corner you can feel the difference in how sleeves bend, even while shuffling. Worst case scenario is a cheater uses 55 non-Alpha cards in their deck and 5 Alpha cards key to their strategy, they would be able to feel where the Alpha cards were in the deck while shuffling and manipulate their position.
BUT apparently I heard misinformation. While this is all true (I worked at a shop for a while and tested this with alpha cards) apparently Alpha cards are legal for use in tournaments. So there ya go.

I recommend checking your collection against TCGPlayer's Market Price, see if you have anything of value, then if you don't want to deal with selling on ebay, you can sell it to a local game store.

our shipping is a killer, and the local demand isn't strong. i pulled my stash out of storage about 2 years ago, and haven't done shit with it since due to these problems.
i'm also lazy, and getting older (read: fuckall time to stocktake, list stuff, and ship it off) - i might just cobble together a spreadsheet and see if anyone wants a chunk or all of it on reddit.
Volcanic Island is worth 250+ depending on condition, the lands that produce blue are worth a lot more. Ebay takes fees, imo facebook is your best bet to sell cards.
I guess I'm just soloing in on a memory of one of the guys from my old high school I played with. He did his darndest to make a deck around descent into madness, it was pretty rediculous.
IDK, I think I'd buy a pimped out legacy deck like Lands or some shit. You can literally play paper proxy-less vintage about five times a year if you travel.
I've been struggling with my weight basically all of my life. I've lost quite a bit, and have finally gotten on the right path moving forward.

I can hear Gottfried's a christmas carol right now.
Try Stratford, Ontario. Small city of around 35,000 people but literally every other store front in the downtown is an incredible restaurant. Plus, we have a world class theatre company so there is a ton of things to do. To top it off, there is cheap public transit so you can get hammered and make it home cheap.
Due to reasons I used to be able to go to Stratford in season and get taken out for dinner just every night Friday-Monday. Food has been ruined for me. The amount of amazing shit I've been able to try at those restaurants is unreal. I recommend.
Edit: reasons =/= prostitution. I actually knew someone who kinda did exactly this - was very wealthy and wanted to live surrounded by culture and good food but didn't want to have to put up with city life.
There are a TON of low key really famous people who live here. Both Peter Mansbridge and Lloyd Robertson (Canada's two most famous news anchors) live here, Christopher Plummer has a house here, I've seen Liam Nelson downtown, it isn't uncommon to see William Shatner here, Justin Bieber has a house here, etc.
Honestly, the food is the worst thing about living here. Not that it is terrible but that there is so much great food you go broke trying to eat it all. Stratford is a straight up great place to live and housing is pretty cheap still.
I was going to say something like this. But I don't think I'd want to limit myself to two bedrooms or a single floor. I'd say I'd buy the first two floors (and first basement) of a manhattan skyscraper, completely re-done as my living space. A huge amount of space for an individual, so I'd have room for a major workshop and garage, while being able to step out of the front door and walk to pretty much anything.
Extravagant and lavish unlike most of the ideas in this thread (student loans? cmon that's not lavish by any stretch of the word)
My dream is to buy a plot of open land and dig a deep enough hole that I can put a 3 story doomsday house in there. Very bottom floor would be a furnace/ laundry room, it would have 3 powerful back up generators in case of disaster. In the middle of the bottom floor would be a giant fridge that is self cooled mostly by the earth, second floor would be the living area and top floor would hold at least 8 of my dream cars. The house that I have designed would be earthquake proof, fire proof and flood proof. Iโd cover it with dirt and place a facade house on top and work it into a super air filter. Around the property would be solar power and windmills to generate electricity. And on top of it all the highest quality security system I can get my hands on
(I just woke up to this holy shit I didnโt think this would get so many upvotes thank you!)

So, long story short, where do I go to collect your left nut?
Sorry! Your password must contain at least 17 non - alphanumeric characters (For example: !, $, #, or %). Also, we've seen this password too many times before. You can't have your username in your password. You password can't match an old password. The password you chose won't work, passwords cannot start with a capital "v". We don't know why. They just can't. We have someone in IT working on it, but they said just don't do it for the time being.

giant fridge that is self cooled
Unfortunately the earth has a fairly stable temperature after a certain depth that is not nearly cold enough for refrigeration. In the US for example itโs usually 45-50 in northern states and can get up to 70 as you head south after only 5 feet down. Fridges should always be below 40, typically around 35.
Edit: for the couple of replies about geothermal, I know what that is. Thatโs why I know that you canโt have a self cooled fridge set up underground. It works for space conditioning. But thatโs because of the temperature range that it is in. It does not work for refrigeration. If anything it is worse as youโd be heating whatever it is youโre using for the conditioning higher than what itโs going to be when it leaves to be cooled back down. Itโs great more people are learning what geothermal heating/cooling is but itโs not an end all be all for changing air temperatures it whatever we want them to be, weโre still restrained by the temperature the earth provides and you need to change the temperature yourself if you want it different than the earthโs.

Nah he's going to create an elaborate tunnel system that encircles his compound so he can whiz around like a hot wheels car with his dream cars.
He could set up a walk-in cooler/freezer with a water cooled condensing unit and put it on a ground loop. That would be the most energy efficient way. The same ground loop could be used for conditioning the rest of the bunker. It would eliminate the need for gas flues and reduce the amount of solar/wind he needs to get off the grid too.
Add a couple whole house batteries and he would be set.

Yes, these exist, but you will have the same problems Iโve already said. The article states that it will keep things about 10-12 degrees Celsius, or 50-54 degrees Fahrenheit. The only things you can store in there are things that do not actually need refrigeration. Cheeses, wines, veggies, they donโt need to be refrigerated, they just last longer/taste better if they are. You wouldnโt be able to keep things like meats, eggs, some dairies, etc. in there, which is very impractical unless youโre vegetarian/vegan. And these temperatures are only constant for that location. If you live further north, you can get a little colder, but not much. Head towards the equator and these arenโt even practical because below ground isnโt going to be much different than youโd want your house to be kept anyway.

In theory, yes, but only in select places or if you dog really deep. In order to generate the electricity, you need steam, which means temperatures over 212F or 100C. Then you could create electricity but I am unsure if doing this just for cooling is enough to really see any benefit compared to just hooking into the power grid.

Buzzword? Check.
Even a massive bore field would only be suitable for space conditioning, unless you pumped ammonia or something, but it would have to then be a closed loop with a chiller inside....... Regardless, regular electric fridge would be easier and use less power.
Actually you could pump water and use a heat pump to refrigerate a space. Obviously the number of bores/depth(length if going horizontal) of bores would have to be sized based on the load of the "building" Considering it is completely underground the space cooling load would be tiny. Also the load on the fridge would depend on how well it is insulated. There would be a huge load when it was first turned on to get all the contents to a cool condition but after that the cooling load would be very small.

TL:DR You totally could cool a fridge with geothermal water cooled heat pumps.

Yes, but geothermal power requires a hydrothermal source which usually comes with geological hazards. Geothermal heating is an entirely different process that just uses the normal constant temperature of the shallow subsurface.

My dream home is a pole barn, with three story basement. Bottom is laundry and storage, second is bedrooms, first is living, dining, and kitchen. The pole barn is the work area/garage. On the pole barn would be security cameras which broadcast to LCD monitors throughout the sub levels to serve as windows. Plus, an RV. It would have an electric fence for the pets and fiber internet.
I would have solar panels powering the home, and the bottom floor would be the largest, with a pantry, music studio, laundry room, play room for the kids, work bench specifically for computer work, server room, and storage room.
I'm by far not afraid enough of a doomsday that I would willingly forgo the chance to have sunlight in my house, or to just crack a window open when I feel like it. Also, if the apocalypse happens, going with the rest of humanity may not be such a bad choice. Life would probably get pretty boring pretty quickly without much social interaction in that bunker you built yourself.

Being in proximity to UHNWI's, I can tell you that this is not an unrealistic extravagance, but a very common precaution, a basic hedge. At some point, you weigh the relative cost to you (very low) and the likelihood of society collapsing (low but growing) and you buy an island or plot of land somewhere, build a bunker, stock it with food, and install generators and some form of renewable. Also, sometimes when you are actively doing the manipulating, say to markets and society, you can most clearly see the damage being done and the unsustainability of things.
This is easier and not as expensive as most people think it is.
giant fridge that is self cooled mostly by the earth
Geothermal is very possible. You'd have a loop that cools a condenser. We do this for some clients. It's expensive but doesn't require millions of dollars.
earthquake proof, fire proof and flood proof
Not super cheap, but definitely possible. The flood prevention is the hardest and most expensive. Earthquake measures are used in a lot of cities. Fire walls/firestopping measures are used in pretty much every building in the US.
super air filter
This is a outside air prefilter unit. They're a little expensive, but not outside the range of affordability of you need it.
solar power and windmills to generate electricity
Are you living under a rock? These can be very affordable depending on the size system you want.
security system
How much do you want to spend? I'd recommend making friends with someone who does installs! These are a constant source of problems, the larger they are the more problems you'll have.

Wouldn't it be better to put the storage room on the bottom floor and furnace above that? Since ever with superb insulation, the heat from the bottom floor will rise and potentially ruin the cool conditions of the food.
If I had a billion dollars I do this but on much bigger scale. I donโt want to be the only person who survives the end of the world. Iโd make it big enough for 1,000 people or something. There would be space for livestock and a greenhouse too. It would be enormous.

Ehhh, best pizza is a shop thats open late and you can go in and get a pizza drunk AF. And there is a fat italian grumpy guy in the back that seems like he has a good heart, that you end up shooting the shit with for a bit waiting for your pizza to cook....then wake up with a 3/4 eaten pizza next to your couch in the morning, and eat the remaining slice(s) for breakfast. God i miss college.
When I was a kid, my favorite pizza came from the tiny deli in the local liquor store. What kind of boozeshop even has a deli? It was greasy as fuck, and in retrospect it was probably garbage pizza, but nostalgia tells me it's still the best pizza ever.

I live in Chicago. Its really not that bad as long as you stay out of the bad parts. I would assume its the same in every city. I do have to say though the bad parts are REALLY bad.
Having lived in St. Louis for a large part of my life, the violence data is skewed pretty heavily because of how the city limits are defined. St. Louis proper is only about 60 sq miles, much smaller than many other cities in a metro area of the same size. Problem is that all of the "bad parts" exist within St. Louis proper and most of the nicer areas are just outside the city limits and organized into individual municipalities within St. Louis County. If you take a look at this picture of the metro area, the red line represents the city limits. The north side of the city is where a huge portion of the poverty and crime exist and that's all encompassed in this map. Right on the west side of forest park is the west boundary of the city and that just so happens where a huge portion of the affluent, low-crime areas of the city begin. For example, right on that boundary is Clayton, MO. Median household income of $87k, nearly $50k more than the city of St. Louis. Go further west and it's more affluent; And it's important to note that these aren't like suburbs. If you were driving around and weren't familiar with the city, you wouldn't even know that you left StL and were driving through other towns. It's essentially still St. Louis but all of that gets left out of St. Louis crime data.
It certainly is a city with violent and unsafe areas, but the raw data doesn't tell the whole story about the city overall.

Chicago is the third largest city in the US. Per capita it's not really as bad as it sounds when considered by raw numbers.
ftfy. Even leaving aside generically defending my home city, it IS actually legally a different city and so has its own budgets, policies, etc, not to mention being across state lines with its own differences in such things. I'm not saying that if it were annexed by Best St Louis life would improve, we do admittedly have Ferguson, but it could hardly get WORSE!
if you still live in the city, go to that taco place in wicker park for me. good times were had there many a drunk night. Big Star http://www.bigstarchicago.com/
If you wanted that plain, soulless, greasy cardboard served on a garbage can lid pizza (i.e. "New York style"), you'd be in a reddit thread about finding a fiver in an alley instead of this one

Travel to Italy, learn how to make the best Pizzas; travel to New York, learn how to really make the best Pizzas; travel to Chicago, you see where this is going...
Go home, open a Pizzeria, buy all the right equipment, wood burning pizza oven, etc, all the best cheeses, the freshest tomatoes, best herbs, greatest toppings. Cook Pizza's to perfection. Charge a nickel per slice because you're not doing this to make money, you're doing it for the love of Pizza.
I'd say a few hundred grand would be spent pretty easily.
Go to Italy, tour the pizza places. Then Chicago, then new York, then California. Try all the world's pizzas.

I'd buy the Domino's Pizza closest to me, pay the employees livable wages and provide them with health insurance, and have them deliver pizza to me daily.
I swear they fucking lace that pizza with crack. I'm addicted.
But I'd pay off my student loans first, and get health insurance. Get myself a reliable car, too. Then I would hope I'd have enough money left over for my pizza dream.
"Today, I want New York style peoperoni for lunch, Chicago deep dish supreme for dinner. Tomorrow, fly me in a perfect margarita from italy, and then I'm gonna get stoned and eat pizza puffs." Change it up every meal, and soon you are importing foie gras and hiring a cute Italian guy to make the crust his nonna taught him.

Exactly. My friend knows a stuntman that worked for 10 years in Hollywood, in a party that stuntman explained to me how much shady shit goes down. A bilionaire could get bang like 90% of Hollywood.
He mentioned movie The Dictator (2012) and scene where the main guy pays celebrities for sex isn't far from truth at all.
Only the A+ celebs who have "fuck you money" can afford to say no to rich people who are on top of Hollywood. Rest are basically their slaves. A+ celebs are actors who get top of Box Office regularly (main roles only) like Leo Di Caprio, J Lawrence, recently The Rock and people like that.
Also people overestimate how much people in Hollywood make. Yes most of actors are rich, but it is up to 10 million and that's it. And quality != money.
Biggest earners are blockbuster and Box Office action movies or Superhero movies. Main roles in those movies get crazy money, but dramas, comedies and other things earn way less than people think they do.

They actually do exist. These aren't exactly the type who are desperate for cash or does it to support a child or their addictive habits. Some of the high class escorts that I've booked for an executive in a company are actually employees of a subsidiary or an affiliate company. They're not necessarily "pimped out" and more of a freelancer who works with an agent who offers protection and provides wire transfers to maintain anonymity of any transaction that took place.
I'm probably already saying too much, but the booking process is really simple. You go to a website and you sign in with a unique 10 character code that you receive from a broker that expires in 6 hours. The next page you land on is a calendar and you choose the date for the rendezvous. After choosing the date, you'll land on another page that shows the profiles of available freelancers for that date. The profiles include a naked full body shot with informations like race, ethnicity, nationality, age, companies affiliated with, the most recent STD screening and blood work, etc. After you select the girl/guy of your choosing, you'd be sent to a payment processing page where you have to enter the routing number and the bank account number with an in-page numpad or a bitcoin transfer (which I haven't done yet since the executives I've booked for doesn't believe bitcoin would catch on). There's a 6 hour waiting period and once the payment is confirmed, you're going to receive a phone call from the freelancer to confirm she receives the payment and to arrange the venue of the rendezvous.
Most of the time the freelancer is already at the venue along with three people working as security (2 outside at the door and 1 to the nearest exit). This is usually an overnight affair or a whole weekend as the case for the last one I booked this summer.
Edit: I forgot to mention that when you meet up with the freelancer, they'll hand you a signed NDA and consent form which I also sign as a witness and guarantor that the interaction was indeed consensual and no monetary compensation between the freelancer and my client were extended in exchange of what will take place.
That sounds complicated, in the UK you can just visit adultwork and phone/book an appointment that way. It has a review system so many girls won't see you without decent feedback from others.
Although those are mostly not the higher class escorts.

It really depends on how much the freelancer is charging + the commission for the agent.
Cheapest one I booked was 7.5k USD that lasted overnight. It was for a male CTO of a certain Taiwanese tech company.
The weekend(Thursday to Sunday) getaway that I booked last summer was 60k USD which was split between 2 men. The client was a female VP of a certain textile company.

out of the 17 I've booked so far this year, 3 were women and the rest were men. 4 out of 14 guys asked for male freelancers. 5 Out of the 10 guys who asked for female freelancers asked for 2 or more.
Male freelancers tend to be more pricier than female freelancers because female freelancers outnumbers male freelancers by around 4:1
Trust me you donโt have to ask for the mimosa, it just appears. You also forgot the body wrap and mud bath after somebody scrubs your body down to be like a baby.
I would love a small apartment/home built over a dance studio. I would have it built in my city, and have open hours where people could rehearse for free if they liked. I would only ask that they book the space in advance so I wouldn't have too many people at once. I would only charge for instructors wanting to teach there, so as not to disrupt the studio business in the area.
Like I said, I wouldn't want to disrupt the local studio business by taking away students from the locally owned studios in the area. I would just want somewhere people could come to practice their craft, and maybe there could be social dance parties too
This may sound cheesy, but I think I would spend a lot of money on my wedding. I would cancel all plans right now, invite all people I want to (and not cut some out because of the budget), and then fly everyone to an amazing Greek island my fiancee and I spend our summer at. We would get married there on the beach and party all night Greek style. After that I would give all the guests a free opportunity to try out diving (our passion) since diving there was absolutely wonderful. I would book a hotel for everyone, stay there for a week and fly them all home again. Just pay for a holiday, party and diving I think. That would be incredible.
This needs more credit. I never realized that weddings are expensive af until co-workers talked about their own. Makes me a little sad that if I ever got married, I might not be able to make it fun just on the basis of cost alone D:
I was able to plan my wedding on 500 dollars (Australian)
Most things I made myself
My wedding dress was second hand and fixed up by my mum and nonna
It wasn't my dream wedding
But everyone who matter was there and that's all I cared about
(Although I did get super sick two days before and dont remember it)
Weddings in my family are focuses around the people your with, the drink, and the food. Some of the minimalists in my family have had very affordable weddings that have been incredible.

I couldn't afford any wedding. I went to the court house and got married, 100 bucks. We are still together, bought a house, started a business and our 5 year anniversary is coming up. We are going to have a big anniversary party now that we are more financially able.
My wife and I got married last summer for 2500 dollars. We just threw a bbq, and surprised everyone by getting married in the middle of it. Just tables in a field. iPod for music.
My sister had a traditional wedding and spent ungodly amounts of money. No
One had a better there than ours.
No one needs all the flowers, dresses, djโs / bands. If thatโs what you want great, but donโt just do it because you have too.
You're right :0
Overall, marriage is a weird idea to me. But I figured it's still a "tradition" so a wedding would just be an attachment of such a thing.
My lottery fantasy is to take about thirty of my friends on a Disney Cruise up the inside passage of Alaska and do all the excursions. Sometimes I go online, pick a ship and start assigning rooms.
My friends include eight kids under 12, so I would hire four sitters from Care.com or something. They get to go on this cruise, and all they have to do is be sober for eight hour shifts in case someone wants some kid-free time. Like hang out at the pool or spa or stuff your face with chocolate, but since youโre on duty from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm, since the Smiths want kid-free spa time, theyโve booked you for 3:00-5:00. Pay them extravagantly ($50/hr for 8 hr/day for 7 days is $2800, but surprise 30% tip at the end). And fly everyone out first class.
This x100. It would be so awesome to have an extravagant wedding like that, inviting everyone you want, where you want, to do what you want, no problem at all.
Well if you don't know what to spend your money on, I know a person or two who would definitely like to spend them on a honeymoon to Turtle Island! ;) It is very beautiful, unfortunately we really don't have that kind of money.

While back I wanted to see what all the hate was about so I started a "special" on Netflix.
"What's up bitches? What's up mooothafuckaaaas? Where's all my bitches and mothaaafuckaaaas at?"
I'm sure there are far more roundabout ways to fuck her over without giving her money. Like paying every possible venue to not book her, or even better, paying her agent to drop her. Then paying every single agent she tries to replace them with to drop her. Just ridiculous wastes of money, but ultimately successful.
Hell, if you're a (multi)billionaire, then only reasonable thing to do is have a private fiber connection to your closest trunk router, and employ a bunch of people to set up everything.
I live in the PCNW, where I'm thinking about the mainland it's far enough from any population centers that anything actually reaching me, shouldn't be an issue, but near enough some mines in BC that I should be able to get hooked up to the Power Grid and hopefully a fiber connection (or microwave)
I'd buy some Magic the Gathering cards in lots off of Amazon (like $15 a box, probably 6 or so boxes) so I could teach my soon-to-be stepsons to play, and help them build their first decks.
Dude pm me , I will send you my bulk extras and buy you land, I don't have friends that play anymore so I don't need all the extra cards it won't have anything great and they are from like m11 to current series.
Awesome I'll let you know as soon as I get them in the mail , I will sort them by color and go through and add my anonkhet duplicates. Me and my friend split a booster box before he moved so I have a ton of commons
If there is seriously anything I can do to ever help out, let me know. I'm already working on paying it forward (a 70-hour search to find an abandoned housecat a good home? Just found him one, taking him there tonight, so freaking excited). (Sorry, had to share, so excited I'm actually happy crying over it).

a human after my own heart. my friend and i save up all year then put our money together and buy as many boosters as we can from ebay. we each call 3 cards and a colour thast we want before we open them. then we negociate over whats left.
That sounds like tons of fun. That also sounds like the start of a cool Christmas tradition, if the boys really get into the game. Currently we do Christmas nerf battles. We get sooo into it. Tipped over tables and chairs for barricades, checkpoints, upgrading the "weapons" and having ammo replenishing checkpoints...

Wow, I fly Southwest all the time, like 4-5 flights a month and I havenโt seen Skymall Magazine on their flights since 2012 or 2013. I wonder which legs they have it on? I fly west coast and the south mostly.

If you're in the US, this means very little with your cheap ass gas. If you're in the UK, you have my respect. premium is about $7.43 a gallon in the UK at the moment, if I've done the maths correctly.
I did a 6 month test on my commute. Premium vs Regular. I found that I got 3.4 more MPG with premium, 3.4 x 12 gallons is an extra 40.8 miles. Premium is usually $0.20/gallon more around here so I spent an extra $2.40/tank, but gained 40 miles. Premium gas is roughly $2.90 here and my car gets ~25 MPG, so I was saving money by buying premium.

Most cars that isn't true, and around here the difference between regular and premium has been creeping up on a full 1.00. My car is fairly high compression and a turbo so I have to use premium
high compression? is that why? that makes a lot of sense now. because in addition to running like shit on regular, every single other problem the car has is related to compression is seems. well air intake really. it's so finicky about that being perfect. now i know.

I mean you could just check your owners manual or do a simple google on what octane your car is supposed to run
i did and i use it. i never did before because i thought it was bullshit. it is not bullshit for certain cars. i seem to own one of those certain cars.
a lot of german cars. i know even my low end VWs need it. thought it was bullshit so i put in regular. had nothing but problems. fucking wonderful expensive ass german cars!
Well... Yeah. To make a fairly good home cooked steak where I'm at it would cost about 12-15USD, eating out at a place like Chilli's it'd be 20-50USD. My salary itself is about 900USD but in Malaysia it's really not that bad.
I'm not living uncomfortably but there's things that are more pressing than a steak at the moment (although an 18 months moment). Like my student loans that are currently preventing me from travelling.
Screw that, you get the college education so you can get money (in theory).

If you're rich enough you wouldn't have to put up with the BS that colleges put you through. Want to be an investing pro? Hire a pro investor to teach/tutor you. Want to improve at writing? Pick your author and offer a big enough paycheck for them to teach, review, and edit your work. Want to know how to plan and execute business projects? There's lots of those in the world, and you could afford to bring one onto the payroll to teach while they handled the stuff you want to learn it for in the meantime. That's a much more efficient way to get good at something than going to college.
So it's going to take me six years to graduate with a four year degree but I graduate this May with and engineering degree and zero debt. It was tough and I didn't think I'd make it but if I can do it, then you 100% can do it too. Don't give up! :) Also, totally worth my time, blood, sweat, tears and sacrifices. As an intern I was making 22.50 an hour and I saved enough to pay tuition for an entire year. Once you're a year in, you start to see a pretty steep ROI.
That's not as expensive as one might think, depending on your wine purchases while doing it. 22 restaurants by five hundred a head plus travel and hotel

Throw some winter tires on it and get that thing salty!
i work at a Mercedes dealership and I absolutely hate the fact that we get so many cars in that are in near perfect condition, and have next to no miles on them. We have a customer who brings his cars in for service. He has an older (circa 90) SL and it only has 3k miles on it. He is the original owner and bought it brand new. Granted he has like 30 cars total, but still. Drive the cars. With having 30+ cars you could literally pick one for each day of the month and still rack up more miles than what he does.
I worked at a Ford dealer, one of our customers bought a new Ford GT from the factory and has it serviced with the dealer. Really cool dude, I think by the time he had for 6 months he had 10k miles on it. He would drive it out to Utah and race it at some niche sport track up there thatโs Ford only. Then drive it the 1000 miles back home.
If I could afford my dream car it would be a brand new Mercedes AMG GTS and you better believe if it wasn't raining or snowing I'd be driving the shit out of it. It would most definitely be my DD.
I did this a few months ago. We looked for ages to find one cheap enough, but we got it. 1/4 acre, 1200 sqft, shop building, above even the most insane flood maps, quiet small town, yard enclosed with chain link fence.
It was NOT easy to find the money for all the costs, but we did it with help from government programs and we were first time home buyers. My wife and I also have credit scores well over 700.

Heh... when my fiancee and I talk about winning the lottery and spreading some of the wealth to family members, there are definitely certain family members who we agree giving money to would be a death sentence.
Hey :) You are doing an amazing job! As an internet stranger who you'll most likely never meet, and an addict myself: I love you. I'm proud of you. Keep going, stay clean. Please. Not because you're not a billionaire but because you're a human being that has been through enough suffering and is now ready to choose differently. We all have inherent value, dignity and power. Live, and live well. Good luck! <3
First, I'd hire a master investment manager to ensure my money is increasing.
I'd buy up a block of flats, maybe two. I'd do them up and then let them out at below market rates to struggling families in an effort to combat social cleansing.
I'd invest in social and community projects, community centers, libraries, education centers etc, to try and improve my local areas.
I'd set up some science institutes, dedicated to combating climate change and inventing the means for interstellar travel and offworld colonization.
I'd invest in aid projects overseas, not charity work, but actual development of impoverished areas.
And when finally I die, with an empire worth billions, a legacy of philanthropy, generosity and discovery, a statue will be erected in my honor, and our countless offworld colonies will remember my name forever, even as the encroaching darkness of the Outer Gods infects their worlds, consumes their minds and makes slaves of their children.
And then you will be interred in the golden throne, kept alive by technology long forgotten and the sacrifice of a hundred psychically gifted humans per day in order to combat the gods of chaos and maintain the lighthouse of interstellar travel.
And then some SJW will get all pissed off about something you once said on Reddit long, long ago, and they will tear down your statue in a fit of childish, ignorant rage.
Get my cats spayed and spoil them with treats and toys and a cat tree, buy a Christmas tree, kick my roommate out and downsize to a smaller apartment, and buy my husband everything he could possibly need to build his own custom computer. Visit my friends in Canada, Australia, and Ireland, maybe even just move to Canada. The rest is for the future

I'd run a oldschool music festival. Think Detroit techno originators. Chicago house. UK trance. And just for fun, some Miami bass. Wouldn't expect to make any money based on the fact so many festivals keep going bankrupt.
It's a really high risk business, unless you have the capital to have a shit one and not go bankrupt. If you don't sell enough tickets you can't really just cancel it because there are so many stakeholders, you just run the business into the ground in the space of a month.
A manager. Someone who had a budget to make sure all the little shit got done. The cleaning, shopping and laundry (fuck you laundry). Bills would be paid, the car(s) would be taxed, my shit would be in order and also, fuck laundry.
You are the first person I have seen here that understands the real value of being rich. Not having to do the shit you don't want to do. Big houses, fancy cars, etc. all mean extra crap to deal with. A manager, a no maintenance place to live and a no limit credit card would be the way to go.

I already have a plan in place in case this happens one day (hey, let me fantasise, okay?)
1) I'd probably be unable to comprehend this amazing thing has happened to me and be convinced it's a dream.
B) Once I have accepted this is reality, I'd give my mum, dad and both brothers a good amount of money to help them out and repay them for all the hard times I've been through and they helped me with as well as the hard times for them that I ultimately caused. I am a pain. In fact, I'd probably go all out a pay for a huge fancy dinner for the whole family and use it to break the news.
C) I'd buy two of my best friends, and myself, a car. A brand new Ford RS. We'd each have a different colour (I get blue because it's my favourite colour and fuck you guys I'm buying you a car you'll take whatever colour you get.) and then we'd do a grand road trip (Like Top Gears road trips) across America....and other road trips in the future. I'd also help pay for my other friends medical troubles with her heart and help her get whatever she needs to live a promising and fulfilling life again. I'd also probably just give out money to a few other friends, just as a way of thank you for putting up with me.
4...or D) I'd disappear for a few months and go and stay at some fitness camp and work to try and get into shape, learn to eat right, discipline myself and try to actually love myself and see my potential.
5) Once I am in shape and confident with how I look physically, it's time for a new wardrobe. Personally, I'd buy a ton of clothes of all kinds from Magnoli Clothiers. They are expensive but quality clothing and specialise in making good looking and screen accurate replicas of pieces used in movies and t.v. I'm a geek and have always dreamed of having the Tenth Doctors suit and Coat from Doctor Who (Already have 7 of his ties) so that'd be my first purchase. And then I'd just buy almost every other Doctor Who related piece, A Sherlock Coat, Rick Grimes Jacket, Some of James Bonds suits/clothing and even some of Wolverines clothing.
6) After that I'd probably buy my own private jet. Nothing too big or fancy. Just something to get me around the World comfortably because that's what I really want to do. I want to go everywhere possibly, see famous sights with my own eyes, do crazy and adventurous stuff instead of just reading about it. I'd probably not even contact my family during this stage because I'll just be busy meeting new people, exploring and trying to find my place in the world.
After that though....no real idea...invest or some shit?
Sorry, but you have a billion dollars and you want a Ford hatchback? My focus is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I would say, if you stick with Ford, buy everyone Ford GT's, or perhaps mustang GT-350's.
Even better would be a Dodge demon. Tons of power and room for snacks and passengers.
Although my personal choice would be an Aston Martin db-11. I would say vulkan but its not street legal.
Might also go for a Tesla model S p100d. Fast and comfortable.
A la Ferrari would be nice too.
Wouldn't want anything too crazy like a McLaren or lambo. If it's cross country, you should at least be comfortable.
I'm not much of a cars guy, I can name most makes of cars by sight and maybe the odd specific name for one. I know there are much faster, powerful and just generally better cars out there, but what can I say, I like the look of it.
I mean yea, I'd be a billionaire in this scenario, so I have tons of money after these 5 steps or so. I'd likely get a whole fleet of supercars at some point XD
I think I'd try to keep it secret and buy things that are slightly out of my price range. Then keep doing it, slowly make it seem like I'm super impulsive with my spending at first. Then people slowly start to wonder HOW I can even be that impulsive, my cards must be maxed out.
After fucking with people's head a lot, I'd just buy EDC and have it follow me around the world and only play where I am at.
I'd invest 100 million so I could live on the returns for the rest of my life and still leave a categorically batshit amount of money to my progeny, invest 500 million and redirect those returns to small, local nonprofits that benefit underserved populations like LGBT youths, homeless people, drug addicts, and/or people with mental illness in rural areas (etc). Then I would use the remainder to give as many working-class and lower-middle class kids in college or technical school scholarship money to cover their living expenses while they learn their trade or get their degree.
Having shit doesn't make me happy. Having a less fucked up world would.

but if it worked i could eat red meat on a regular basis, and wouldnt have to take those vile, sickening iron pills anymore.
I suffer from chronic low blood iron AND i was born with a genetic condition that causes an underdeveloped colon, so i suffer from chronic constipation, and as a result cant eat a lot of red meat (iron rich) or other foods that result in 'excess waste material'.

When I was younger, I always wanted a large garage lettered A through Z with four smaller garages in each on. Then buy cars beginning with the letter to fill each (E.G. Audi, Aston Martin, Acura and Alfa Romeo to fill Garage โAโ).

Houses for my family members, new cars, debt paid off, plastic surgery, full time personal trainer, maid and nutritionist for all my family members - self included as well as stylist, then family vacations all over the world along with the best medical care available. Ahh, so many things.
I'd hire a person to go through bags of salted peanuts and just pick out the tiny nub thingy that's between the two halves. I'd then eat them, and only them.
Iโd one up my neighbor with everything he owns. He is very โkeeping up with the Jonesโsโ and always has to get what his other rich friends get or better. Heโs constantly showing off his new toys. He bought a new truck and instead of washing it in the driveway, he literally pulls it into his front yard to show it off.
It would be so satisfying to watch him try to keep up with a secret billionaire. Oh you want to have us over for dinner and brag about your wine collection, here let me bring my bottom shelf $500 bottle of wine that I normally use to brush my teeth with. Nice truck, I just happened to buy a newer bigger better one as well that Iโm going to use to pull a bunch of shit that is also newer bigger and better than what you got. Oh you bought some hunting land in another state to hunt slightly bigger deer, I just so happen to own a billion acres in fucking Alaska where Iโm hunting wooly mammoths that I brought back into existence, specifically to say fuck you.
I would hire three big black fat women dressed to the nines to follow me around everywhere I went.

A rusted out or wrecked 1964 GTO. One that couldn't be restored properly...I'd feel bad about depriving someone else of that.
I'd also feel bad about ruining a possible restoration car, because this is going to be a restomod to the max. I figure about $150k will give me the car I want, and I probably wouldn't feel bad about spending that much on something unnecessary if I had a billion : )

I'm of the same mind but I would do it to my daily driver, My 95 jeep cherokee. Have it stripped down to the frame, sand blasted frame reinforcement, repainted in the same factory color. Supercharged LS3 swap (its already on its third engine anyways) full suspension and drive train overhaul. I wouldn't lift it any higher than it already is (just a 3"). Redo the full electrical, and interior. New sound system with , maybe pull the back seats entirely and install easily removable bucket seats so if the lady and I go trail camping we can just yank the seats and put blankets in the back. New CB and antenna, new roof rack, old school halogen off road lights the works.
I'd do a similar ridiculous swap. I would probably drop a 2UR-GSE (Toyota/Lexus 5.0L 416-471 HP V8) out of a crashed IS F/GS F/RC F/LC 500 into a 90s SC 300/400 and figure out how to mate it to a manual transmission.
If I was able to, I'd try to drop a 1LR-GUE V10 out of an LFA, but there are no crashed ones as far as I can tell.

Honestly id buy millions of dollars in gold coins and precious gems. Put all of that in an old chest and bury it somewhere in the world. Finally I would go on national tv and let the world know I've buried the treasure for them to find. I would have placed clues and riddles everywhere and it would all start with a puzzle which can be found on a webpage I'll have had made.

My own private island where I would build a small subdivision. All houses equal. Then slowly move people I like to the island so they no longer have to work.. just live on my island and laugh at my shit jokes.
Okay, so, I'd drop out of my current school and pay off my loans. I'd buy a house in the mountains around the Asheville, NC area, making sure it's got a large parcel of land, about 3 acres would suffice. Immediately start a large reconstruction project, basically making it the dankest house/cabin in the area, complete with a workshop for every blacksmithing project I've ever wanted to plus other ideas. I'd build a the highest quality gaming rig possible, because fuck it. Then I'd finish it off with a fence/wall around the entire property and fill said property with every breed of dog I've ever loved, possibly multiples of my favorite breeds(labradors, malamutes, German shepherds, etc.). The house of my current dreams basically. Lol

Never heard someone say their dream destination is Asheville, NC other than myself, nice!
Dude, I went to Asheville once with a friend. That was enough to fall in love with the place. It was such a lively place and nothing like what I see in Charlotte NC(I live just south of there). It's hard not to enjoy being in Asheville, in my opinion.

I must be broken. I honestly can't think of anything extravagant that I would want. I think I would help my friends, and myself get out of debt. Then I would invest, buy out a good company. After a few years of solid investment, I would look into helping fund important research. Since I would have no need for work, I could devote the time to choose something and help as much as I could. I have grown up poor my whole life. And for some reason thinking about blowing all that money on myself when so many others would kill for a very small part of that seems evil. Hahaha party pooper over here.

Take a decent vacation then! My first thought on reading the title of this thread was literally something that only costs 1,000 bucks. Then debt. Then how much I'd like to visit hawaii again(honeymoon) and step on lava. Which is something I could do in the next few years anyways. Then hey I'll read this thread to see what crazy shit I COULD want but probably don't. Wanting to get stable and help others out of a hole is NOT a bad way to think. :) not a party pooper sir! (Or m'am)
I love travel! That would be a neat idea. I'm a lady person, lol. Honestly, I think I'm just one of those people that can't imagine what copious amounts of money is like. So, I struggle envisioning that. Hmm. Maybe VR so I could learn all the things and play games. :3

What to do with shitloads of money is probably something a lot of people can't imagine. My first list(and probably my second) would STILL only spend .04% of the total sum. Maybe with immediate concerns out of the way considering more expensive ways to spend it would be easier?
Your VR mention reminds me I'd LOVE to know how much would be needed to invent/develop full immersive VR; Sword Art Online style minus the killing. Would probably go over the billion budget for the next part; then find a way to deal with the atrophy that comes with spending too much time there.
Ernest Clines has you covered there. I loved Ready Player One and he talks about how you can workout in order to unlock being online. I always loved that idea. I could travel anywhere I wanted to without the anxiety.

I have a dream of a low income highrise. Retail in the main floor selling all the necessities for the residents. Commercial floors to employ the residents. And various sizes of units from a warm open area for homeless, individual rooms with locks for those just breaking the cycle, up to self contained apartments and family units.
I'd buy the biggest contiguous piece of land available in a legal Marijuana state, build a massive custom house of my own design and retire to a life of gardening and general hobbitude.
A fully mobile, scientifically accurate, robot T-Rex. I would ride him everywhere. See the stunning nature of rural Europe. Go on the great American roadtrip. Smoke weed on a Jamaican beach at sunset and sip vodka with Russian businessmen on a cold, Winters night in central Moscow.
One day Rexxy would tell me he wished he could have lived among his own kind. That he longs to truly know where he comes from. I'll cry. Knowing that I betrayed the course of nature. That I betrayed my own principles and didn't see a friend in need when he was multiple times my size and right in front of me. Whatever happens though, we'll have each other. And a shit ton of money still. Probably.
A fleet of buses, with each one converted into those little "pod hotels" that would go to cities with colder weather and provide free sleeping and showers for the homeless.
I would hire Hermann Tilke to design a Formula 1 style race track for me.
I would buy a fairly large amount of land somewhere just outside of Las Vegas. Maybe somewhere between Sloan and Primm, and have it built there.
Then I would lobby to host a second US GP. I would have my own personal sports/muscle/super car garage and facilities near the track and race on it with my friends whenever we visit Vegas.
I would also have a shorter track on the secluded ranch that I would buy in Wyoming or Montana.

Probably a really nice house with all the bells and whistles inside for luxuries. Nothing too crazy in terms of size since I'm a single guy and I only have a cat. Still, I'd make it comfortable for both of us, and I'd have a big yard with some nice decorations and gardens, and I'd have a big enclosed area outside for my cat to get some fresh air and relax in. I'd also hire a top personal trainer to get me into shape, since I've always been terrible at keeping on top of that.
I'd commission a bunch of weeping angel statues in different positions, have them put in different places around my downtown, and pay people to move them around every night.

I'd buy a taco boat. It's hull would be made of a thick taco shell and it's inside filled with the contents of a taco and also other regular sized tacos. I'd sail off into the sunset and as my taco boat sank there would be a close up shot of my hand slowly sinking into the water while clutching a taco. Via con dios.
The most luxurious pair of pajamas money can buy. And some gazillion thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Custom made pillows. Basically, I'm gonna sleep for quite some time, in ultimate comfort.
Real estate. Nothing expensive. First a second house in the south. Tampa Bay area islands, like my parents and grandparents. Live summers in the north, winters south. Then I would buy inexpensive starter homes for my college graduate kids who still live at home. Wherever they want, but just so my wife can stop having to do all the household chores for 5 adults, and start to enjoy retirement. And pay my oldest daughter and son in law to stop having kids. I like grandkids, but they have 4, 6 yrs and under. She has health issues during pregnancy, plus guess who has to take care of them while they work. Love our family, but would love to take care of them a little less.

Pay someone to track down the people who have been absolute cunts to me this month, (October is my works busiest month,) so I can find out where they work, go in, and be the worst customer ever to them in their place of work so they know the feeling.
First thing I'd do is buy houses or pay off mortgages for my family out to first cousins. So about 40 houses. None of them would be extravagant and mine wouldn't even be the biggest (I have an uncle with an 8 bedroom house). I'd buy a 6 bedroom house. One room for each of my kids, one for me and my girlfriend, and two hobby rooms.
Next I'd give my immediate family $1,000,000 to do whatever they want with and extended family would get $100,000. I'd have the most bitching D&D lair and pay a professional Dungeon Master to run weekly games in my hobby room. I'd also give my parents each $100,000/year salaries just cause they deserve to retire and live comfortably.
I'd probably take about $300,000,000 and invest in it in the US dollar, Swedish Krona, and Canadian Dollar. I'm not sure how much money I'd spend on this, probably a lot, but I'd lobby for medical marijuana for veterans. It's a cause close to my heart because I'm a disabled combat veteran whose life was turned around (in a good way) because of marijuana.
Beyond that I'd probably invest in various veteran owned businesses and start ups who hire predominantly veterans and their families especially non profit organizations that help homeless veterans get back on their feet.
Supporting all the things I wish I had enough income to support.

Bunch of new clothes, a good laptop for my girlfriend, a newish vehicle that will run for a long time but isnt a gas hog.
Student loans (mine and 8ish other peoples) paid off. Pay off my all my parents debts. A new set of toolbags for work (like hell im going to quit!).
Some land up here between 2 of the satelite towns a good 2-3 acres. Put a hobit-ish house on it and a nice big ol shop that has ALL the crafting places. We're talking glassblowing, black/white smithing (whitesmithing is like a general tearm for all the precious metals and jewelry stuff). Leatherworking, sewing, carpentry, pottery wheels & kilns and shit. And like a BIG as FUCK 3d printer.
Gaming room having some dammmn nice PCs in it. Internet that wont randomly go out ever (i wish).
2 big dogs.
That ALL might end up running 100-200 mill at most... I gueas i'd just hire my dad to use the rest to make more...(he's into the atock market but doesn't have any capital to really get going in it).
An island on a lake in Northern Ontario, with a waterplane dock and Muskoka Chairs just everywhere. I'd build one of those log style chalets on the island and spend most of my time learning to build canoes.

Create a National (USA) chain of STEM/Vocational universities that would offer 1.5% interest 30 year loans. 0.5% of those interest payments would go directly into a scholarship fund for future students who are from low income households. Tuition costs would be based on realistic costs, not inflated superfluous prices we see so much much with most universities. Also, would provide private company sponsorship of students that would act almost like an incubator, where the companies would be permitted to take a percentage of the the students future innovation endeavors.
I know I might get some flack for this, but admission would be contingent based upon US citizenship. Doesn't have to be born here but has to be a legal citizen. Not "Californian legal" but legitimately a citizen.
Buy up as much prime waterfront property on Sydney Harbour as possible. Demolish and bulldoze everything. Leave it all an empty dustbowl, surrounded by shitty chain link fence with a few dodgy construction office style cabins and some random cars parked in there. Burn some bags of dog shit in there occasionally. Let the millionaire neighbours riot about the public eyesore I have created.
I'm not sure this is the answer you're looking for, but since I'm living abroad, I would probably pay to go home a lot. Only because I miss my family, but I still like this job and place. Or maybe I'd just pay for multiple trips for them to visit me...
(They're in America. I'm in Japan. This would be so expensive to do all the time.)

For me, a lathe and a mill, so I can make the vanity my fiance deserves.
For her, the prettiest, most fabulous chickens she could ask for. Probably a possum or two, and their ridiculous diets. An army of goats, a cow. With that sort of money she'd have to have an ant eater, they're her favorite.
You know what, I'd probably just buy a nice truck and trailer, since she'll be using that coin to pick up new cute pets.
A pair of custom made sneakers for my feet. I have flat feet with toes bigger than normal, and some weird features that basically make no commercial shoes fit me perfectly. Seriously, billionaire or not, once I start working and making some money I'd easily spend $1000 on a perfectly fitting pair
Also, all the made-to-order porn that I can think of
My husband has always dreamed of living in a full-scale replica of the spaceship Firefly. So, that. I would pay to have it designed, built and furnished with props or replica props from the TV show and movie, and then we would live there like the geeks we are. Shiny!

Black Company & Friends House.
Think an apartment complex, but pretty decently made so the place doesn't suck and with a large bit of land nearby for camping and other LARP activities on. Gonna house each of my friends for free if they wish and we can have a couple floors set aside for communal fun like a gaming room and a study and the like. (Not to mention the Arts & Sciences floor in the basement including a forge if I can, otherwise that forge is outside, sewing machines, and the rest of the tools for crafting.)
Also, personal transport vehicles that don't require a license because I don't like driving one bit and would likely get myself an Auto(bot) ASAP too. Though a Segway will do in a pinch.

Once saw a show about the world's most expensive foods. I would try them just to see what the fuss was all about. Simple but my curiosity needs to be entertained.
A house, an overlocker (maybe an upgrade to my current sewing machine too if possible), some lessons at a cooking school and probably a holiday. With how expensive houses are here in Brighton... I think that would use it all up!
I would buy myself a handful of senators and congressmen and try to pass a bunch of random laws like โno more mosquitosโ and โno pants Thursdayโs.โ
Staff. Pay them very well to do all the shit I donโt want to do. Drivers, cleaners, maintenance, personal assistants, chefs, groundskeepers, accountant, etc.

I would hire the best skating, stick handling, and fundamentals coaches in North America and spend a year practicing ice hockey so I can come home, join a local men's league team and take it to my friend who for years told me I couldn't play on his team.
Aside from driving a newer model domestic SUV, I would have no signs of excessive wealth. I would continue living where I live and going to work but at part-time instead of full-time.

A dune buggy....but, like, a REALLY NICE dune buggy.
Billionaire?!! First I would invest in companies that turn garbage and plastic into reusable material or energy, then I would create a program that takes volunteers out on the ocean or in the mountains and rivers to clean up all the trash while having a fun educational experience at the same time. Half the day they go snorkeling or waterskiing or water rafting or horseback riding or sailing or even a gun range lol whatever they find exciting in the great outdoors! A plant based meal from (also my investment) the sustainable farm will be provided to to educate on the destruction of our current agricultural system, while providing proof that healthy eating is possible and delicious! Boom!! Set that doomsday clock back and hour two! We got a spiritual awakening on our hands!
First, become a Kickstarter Cryptid. Start giving maximum donations to any project I'm remotely interested in at all. Tell no one of it, let the news wonder at this mysterious benefactor. Sit upon my hoard of random vaguely cool things like some kind of weird silicon valley dork-dragon.
Alternately, buy a disused underground silo/bunker complex, build a nice five bedroom over the entrance. Something real, real fucking big. Retrofit the interior to make Vault 98. Get something on-site that will allow me to quickly make custom vault suits. Wait patiently while devising ultimately harmless yet hilarious "experiments" and buying sound files of canned sitcom audience laughter from around the globe.

Nah, you would be better off hiring a third party company to build the products than a shitty Kickstarter
It isn't really about the products, they're a nice-to-have. It's about taking a somewhat calculated gamble on something that could be huge, and the experiences of getting to meet people from all walks of life with the courage to actually pursue something beyond the conceptual stage.
I'd ask my girlfriend to take the day off. We'd sleep in, and go get a super fancy and delicious brunch. Like, SUPER fancy. And I'd tip the waiter/waitress $10000. Then probably go home and nap because fuck you, I can do whatever I want.
I'd quit my job in a blaze of glory and make sure my husband was able to quit his. I'd buy houses in multiple states and one somewhere in Europe and tell everyone to just piss off.
We'd have monster TV's throughout the house for movies and video games and an army of Australian Shepherds on every property lol.
I hope we're not talking ONE billion dollars here... Otherwise I have to basically just buy businesses and let them earn me more.
But if we're talking multi billions, like anything under 999, I'd have a castle built in some beautiful place in the world. With extensive underground bunker section, like raccoon city red hive size or larger, to be used as a self sustaining city for my private town discussed below, in case earth's surface becomes uninhabitable for any reason.
My own race track complete with like 10 Jay Leno sized garages and airport for private aircraft. Obviously a port for private sea vehicles as well, and a private town to house my servants/employees and private army / mercenaries. A private space station and launching platform in cooperation with SpaceX, which I'd probably buy.
After I've taken care of me and mine, I'd start setting up businesses designed specifically to create money to be used on bettering the world. Set up a real version of the illuminati essentially and focus it on ending poverty/hunger and fixing the world's governments. I'd need a think tank consisting of the world's foremost historians to create a government unlike the world has ever seen and to keep us all in check to avoid becoming "evil" lol. A worldwide government to watch over the utopian society I'd fund the creation of. A more perfect U.N. that actually gets shit done essentially. Also, basically everything you see in r/futurology that never gets past the concept stage due to lack of funding would suddenly have funding. The creation of an organization designed to nurture creativity and innovation from unknown people, in combination with the science and engineering portion of one of my companies.
I'm gonna stop now as I'm doing this on my phone and am just stalling going to sleep. Love you all, night.

The other one, I will turn into a great street basket court. I'm also buying an ice cream machine to hand out free ice cream to neighborhood kids on hot days.
I don't need billions for this, but this is my plan for spending money, and damn it, I'm not not doing this just because I'd have too much money.
Rent out a full orchestra to myself and have them play old video game music while is smoke and drink and eat hot wings.

Iโd buy a beautiful rustic-chic house by a mountain and a lake view, along with a smaller โassistantsโ house where my full time cleaner and cook would live. The cook would make meals at his/her house & drop them off daily. My house would have indoor/outdoor pool and stocked workout room, along with a library/meditation room with a stunning view. Id hire a personal trainer. Iโd also rent a private plane for all trips & pay extra to get rentals stocked with my favorite food/drinks. Then Iโd live the highlife, traveling. (Iโd also invest in combating poverty, climate change research & renewable energy to offset my ridiculous lifestyle. Iโm a scientist now, so I think Iโd continue some of that work- just not full time.)
Step 1: Buy a cat
Step 2: Buy a boat
Step 3: Post a picture of them together on Reddit. Fake internet points seem like a sound investment, right?..... RIGHT?!?!?
At my University (in Michigan) sororities can't get a house unless they're all on the same street. So I'd buy 2 neighborhoods right off campus. Give them each a house in each a house on one side of the street while i demolish and rebuild the other side to include a gym and bar as one basement. I'd keep the top looking like authentic late 1800 houses making one a restaurant, another a cafe, and a gaming themed thing that can be used free of charge (but if you break it you buy it and i can ban for life).
I can keep flushing this out but i think this is enough.
A big dog sanctuary. No kill of course. Pro adoption.
Fields, ponds, obstacles to run around in and play, lots of toys, holistic high grade foods, hospital and groomer on location, comfy beds, and staff to run the place. The best most extravagant part about it all: seeing them all happy, loved, and healthy.
Edit: forgot it said โwaste money onโ.... in that case, Iโd build a couple โmapsโ where my friends and I can run tactical ops with Simunition rounds. Iโm thinking RB6 Siege IRL.

Iโd buy all the billboards in times square, and film random people as they pass and put their face on all of the screens at once. That would be hilarious.
I would buy a large plot of land and build a large number of small houses on it, all with cabled highspeed internet. There'll be a large communal house with a massive kitchen/dining space and lots of room for gaming consoles, board games and general social activities. I'll also build a couple of large greenhouses for growing our own food (going to hire someone to maintain the farm fulltime) and some barns for chickens and some other animals.
Then I'd fly in my friends from all over the world and we'd all live there. All having our separate living space so that we can have privacy, but having a communal space where we can all eat together and hang out when we want to.
Everyone would be expected to help out during harvest and planting seasons and we'd just live at peace.
I'd buy a nice piece of land and build my mom a home with all the live-in care staff she needs: nurse, chef, maid, butler, gardener, animal caretaker. She'd have a small collection of farm animals and lots of cats, and any other animal she wants (she loves animals). She would have a massive greenhouse with a coy pond and exotic plants and trees, in addition to a series of gardens (I would build them myself) that she could use to plant flowers and vegetables and plants. The entire property would have lilacs everywhere. Hundreds upon hundres of purple lilac bushes everywhere. And I'd buy her the red 1967 Corvette Stingray she's always wanted even though she can't drive anymore. She'd have a driver.
I'd probably buy my brothers business outright and spend a week or two introducing new policies like flamboyant and glitter filled work uniforms and the new "corporate way" to speak to customers (like how most costcos/wallmarts places have a standard hello and goodbye that must be said to each customer by the greeter).
I'd make sure to have it in the contract that he would need to work for a set time to stop him from simply leaving the company (so I couldn't fuck with him) and then once I'd have my fun I'd just hand him the business.
Buy Nara Dreamland, remove all of the old and decaying rides, then build an Arcology on that land. This process would be started the moment the money was available.

That would be fun! I'd probably go all over town to my favorite bars and restaurants and do something similar. Maybe a bit smaller though. Something like 100. Heck, I'd go back to every bar or restaurant that still remembered me, and do the same.
Iโd buy a big ass personal jet, probably one of those air buses that have like 2 floors or something in them, convert it into a flying home and have a team of personal pilots and attendants to cater to my needs, Iโd only ever land to get supplies and fuel up again. Itโd be bliss staying away from humanity

I'd create a space video game that is slowed the fuk down. Closer to the game play of a submarine battle. "The red thingy is moving towards the blue thingy... I think we're the blue thingy". No more Pew Pew Pew but more as if a sidewinder is locked on target chasing a fighter. Build shields made of steel or graphene instead of an invisible bubble. Get to build your ship bigger and stronger. Get a job in security escorting transport ships, or piloting those ships. Or become a pirate stealing cargo. A stupid little fantasy of mine if I only had the cash to produce such a game. And of course, I'd have the sole indestructible ship in the universe doing as I please.

I would invest the whole thing, then spend the dividends lobbying the government on universal early childhood education and disassociating school funding and property taxes.
Every child should have a good education, and where you live should not affect its quality. Parents in rich areas (aka most politicians) will not be so happy, but inequality in education is a huge problem and contributes to segregation, gentrification, and loss of huge amounts of human capital.

I hate my housemate so I'd bribe his boss a handsome sum to fire him and buy the house from my landlord and give him his eviction notice, just to cause him a lot of stress in his life.
Depending how fun I find that, I might continue to plague him for another month.
Besides that, my actual answer would be buying a prime piece of land somewhere in London to build a house on. I've always wanted to design and build my own house. I'd make it so sweet, and maybe put a super pretentious statue of myself in the yard. At least 10metres tall.
Create a fancy and comfortable, but not too comfortable study with vast bookshelves, a wall-spanning white board, possibly a cliche hidden room behind a bookshelf, sort of like a panic room or room-sized safe. Books to go with the bookshelves. I'd like to get into a hobby of building electronics and mechanics, so text books on the subject, plenty of parts to play with and new tech to take apart so I can see what this new tech is made and capable of. But I'd need a house for all this... something not too big but not so compact.

An engagement ring for my boyfriend.
I have simple needs and simple tastes but that man has literally saved my life and changed it for the better. I love him with all my heart and to have money not be an object for his ring and our wedding would be a dream come true.
Alas, we get paid so little and have so many medical bills that I'm left wondering if I'll even be alive long enough for a wedding to happen.
Honestly? All the coke, speed, heroin and benzos money could buy.
And whores... lots of high end whores that would do anything and pretend to like it.
And probably an entourage willing to lie to me all the long about how awesome I am.
So basically the same hedonism you guys shit on some rich people for. I wouldn't pretend, just go with the flow. I'd indulge in all things sinful in the eyes of God.
And I'd be the least hypocritical person in the world doing it, go figure.

Buy multiple properties and rent them out, put in an obscene amount in a high interest savings account and pay off family and friendโs debts, maybe fund a coupleโs tuition or business. Boom, done.
Probably a huge workspace: milling machine, 3D printer, laser cutter, solder station, electronic components, wood working machines, highest grade equipment such as drills, and so on.
Just a place where I can build whatever the fuck I want, be it furniture, prototypes, electronical projects.

God knows I love me some Citabiras I'll get a new 8kcab on order, none of that slow moving 7eca jazz. If you'll loan me the money I'll go buy the F1 Rocket I built for guy, just to get the mail.

Well a twin otter on floats for special occasions. Probably a B25 for hunting and a P38 for bears. I've already spent a couple million at Sporty's pilot shop and Aircraft Spruce. Ya got to accessorize. My wife has been living a less expensive version of this since 1991.
Buy the 2014 Honda CRV I've been saving for, then become a $25k a year donor to the Ohio State Buckeyes football program to get field passes to some games and season tickets for my husband.
Then I'd pay off our house and buy one in Dublin, Ohio to move to with a large fenced in yard for my greyhound.
Probably pay off peoples' medical debt and student loan debt, but make it into a game show where they have to get through a dumb/weird obstacle course to have their debt paid off.
My student loans and bills. I'd take my wife to dinner without looking at my bank account. Buy my daughter toys without worrying if i had the money. Honestly, I think I, like most people, just want a small life and to not have to worry so much about everything.
I'd go down to my local diner (New Jersey represent), sit down at my usual table with my two little brothers, order a ton of mozzerella sticks and fried mac & cheese bites, and tip the waitress who has been serving me since birth $50,000.

Purchase a first class Virgin Air roundtrip flight to Las Vegas, rent a Tesla car for 5 days, book a 4 nights 5 days hotel stay at the Palazzo hotel and lose my virginity at one of many legal brothels in Nevada.
I want to own a decommissioned lighthouse. And I want to live at the top. And nobody knows I live there. And there's a button that I can press, and launch that lighthouse into space.
So, I always thought that if I got rich, I wouldn't tell anyone, or at least not right away. With that in mind, I'd have conversations with my friends and loved ones about their dreams, and then I'd make them come true before they realized I even had that capability.
I'd sit with my parents and have them draw me the floor plan of their ideal house. I'd have them tell me everything they'd want, including the stupid stuff they could never afford. And then I'd get it built.
After I got through my friends and family, I'd operate like a secret, private Make A Wish foundation. Kids with cancer would wake up and find a packet detailing their all-expenses-paid trip to Disneyworld.
Also, I'd get my car fixed. I wouldn't get a new car-- I'd sink ludicrous amounts of money into fixing my current one. He's 17 years old and his name is Mr. Rogers, and I'd love to have him properly working again.

Iโd buy as much contiguous vacant land in the continental US as I possibly could. Iโd then turn it into the equivalent of US public land with the stipulation of no motorized access whatsoever. Iโd spend the rest of my money investing in sporting good companies and hiring a private army of personal park rangers. I want to create the vast wilderness of the 1700s and early 1800s and let anyone get to explore it. Iโd also mandate all firearm hunting require the use of suppressors.
I'd buy a hotdog cart and sell hotdogs and polish dogs for $1.00 each. The delicious kind with the warm buns. All the condiments and have bottled water for free. Match every dollar with $1,000 and donate the money.
I love hotdog carts. They are so neat. I always wanted one and I think it would be really fun to meet so many people. I could do it anywhere in the world.
As a broke ass dude I spend a majority of the time thinking about this.
Assuming I woke up with one billion dollars I'd first:
Give my parents ten million
Give my grandparents ten million
Give my aunt and uncle ten million
Give my cousin and her husband ten million
Give my fiancรฉs mom and dad ten million
Set up college/trust funds for my three future step children
Allocate a few million to some charities
Invest 2/3 of what ever is left
And with the bit I didn't use, the bit left just for me, I'd like to buy a decent gaming computer. Once went on Alienware and customized one with all the highest features and it was like ten grand, I don't know much about hardware and all but my tech friends said I would have to update it for the next twenty years so that would be nice.
I would buy at least 50 acres of land and build 4 houses on it. Ranging from a 4bed 3.5 bath down to a 2 bed 2 bath and tell my mom and sisters to go live there. I would build them apart from each other and throw a giant pond between them.

I would counter-lobby every single politician in congress to vote in favor of the people. I'd figure out where every single dollar of lobbying goes, then pay a slightly higher amount to sway their vote back and convince politicians to stop ruining our country. Then I'd start lobbying for them to outlaw lobbying, cause it's a fucking bribe and the definition of corruption!!
Then I'd build a music studio and write songs about it.
First thing is a yacht, not just any yacht though, something like a 200 ft yacht with jet skis and a heli pad

I've always told my employees and coworkers that if I ever hit the lottery, they would never see me again. Instead, I would hire someone who looks vaguely like me to pretend to be me to come and do my job so I could give two weeks notice.

Oh, I planned this one out already. I would buy a plot of land, maybe about 8-10 acres. It should be land with no house or other buildings on it, as I'd be tearing down anything on it anyway. I'd build a house for me to live in, something fairly normal and not too extravagant. Maybe 4-5 bedrooms, two stories. Pretty normal.
But, there'd be an elevator in the house. It doesn't go to the second floor, it only goes down to the basement and then to a floor below that. In the floor below that would be a huuuuuge room that I'd fill up with arcade games. All the arcade games I can find. When you step off the elevator, the first game you'd see is Pong. As you walk forward, the games get newer and newer. Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Polybius, Asteroids, all the classics. Then, as you keep walking, you'd start seeing Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, Neo Geo machines, X-Men (4 player version), etc.
I'd get every damn arcade game I can think of. The KLOV would be my buying guide. It doesn't even matter if I like the game or not. If it exists, I want it.
Once you get to the modern games, there's be a separate room for pinball machines. Same deal: every pinball game I can get my hands on.
So it'd be a normal house with a huge complex containing video games under it. I'd open it up to the public on special days, but it'd mostly be a private collection. Of course, my friends would be permitted to enter and play at any time.
I also would build a smallish town on the rest of my land above ground. another 3-4 houses I could rent out, maybe get part of it zoned for commercial uses and try to get a few stores on my property. So i'd start a (very) small town that had a huge arcade underneath it.
I wouldnโt do lavish things with that kind of money. I would do things that would just confuse other people entirely for the jokes.
Like, say I lived in Bay Area ca, id go on like Richmond Virginia craigslist and find a free couch. Contact the person and say โok Iโll be there in two daysโ and show up with my california plates and talk about the drive and say like โoh I love me a good couchโ just for the look of confusion on their faces
I'd buy my Mom the beach house with a pony outside that she's always wanted, an original XBOX so I could play the games they won't make backwards compatible, and if I could, I'd buy myself into a job I enjoyed. That's it, I guess.
Iโd take all my favorite people on a dope vacation for a month.

I would buy a medium house. Nothing to extravagant but the flooring is an air hockey table with enough pressure that I could levitate around my entire house.
Sidewalks for my entire hometown... but in crazy colors and patterns! Streets would be unique, like plaid-pink street, and green-stripes-street, instead of saint-nobody-cares street and memorial-nobody-remembers street. It'd be absolutely garish and stupid looking, but that's my thing!
At first I was going to say fast internet, but then I realized I'm thinking too small. As a billionaire, I could even be my own ISP!
So, if we're dipping into the realm of establishing companies for your own personal reasons.. I'd waste money hiring scientists. I'd give physicists and engineers a working environment and adequate funding, then just let them get to it. Since solving the mysteries of the universe rarely turns profits, not nearly enough jobs exist for the sake of science. Someone's gotta do it.
Bonus points if they can make me a cyborg.
A mansion where I could build myself a library reminiscent of the one in beauty and the beast. With multiple seating areas and a wine cellar off to the side and an on call barista. Definitely.
I would pay off my student loans, my traffic ticket, and then I would immediately buy a first class airplane trip to Ireland just so I could have decent shepherdโs pie and ice cream.
I would get two of those kitty litter boxes that clean themselves. The robotic ones that sift the poo and clumps and it empties into a sealed area so you only have to dump the bin and the litter box is always clean because it has a sensor that activates it after the cat uses it. Two, one for each cat. However, my adopted cat used to rush to use the litter box EVERY time I'd clean it- I did a little experiment one time while I was working,(he belonged to my former patient, so he was still with said patient at the time) and I would clean the litter box every time he went and in 2 hours he went SIX times-going each time that I cleaned the litter box. So I sort of fear that if I got one of the self cleaning ones, the poor little thing would fall over from exhaustion! LOL. But in theory it would be neat to have and extravagant only because it's one job I dislike doing but oh so very necessary!
My dad and I have an insane plan to start a tourist attraction called "Crazy Ivan's".
First, we start with an old submarine, preferably Soviet, and have it transported into a freshwater lake somewhere in Central Texas. I'm thinking cutting it up into pieces and trucking it in before reassembling it is probably the only way this will work. This is fine, considering the innards are going to need modifying anyway, and it no longer needs to submerge, just float.
Then, we permanently moor it to the lakefloor out a ways from the shore. The top outside deck is somehow turned into kind of a Cafe/Bar&grill type place, where you boat, tube, or Jetski up to the sub and tie off to it, with floating decks for people to board and such. Below decks will be the kitchen, as well as some of the crews quarters converted to rentable rooms (still incredibly spartan, the novelty is staying on a sub for a night or that youre sleeping off a drunken night). Another portion of the sub is converted into The Torpedo Room, a Soviet Themed bar/nightclub complete with Soviet Flags, busts of Lenin and Stalin, propaganda posters, the works. The bartenders and indeed all the staff are dressed in accurate Soviet Red Navy uniforms; management are officers and normal staff are enlisted.
The crown jewel though, is Crazy Ivan himself. Acting as a sort of spokesman, mascot, and general Party Animal In Charge, my father would dress up in an accurate Red Navy officers uniform for a Soviet Sub Captain (parade dress for added zaniness). He would do crazy announcements from the Conning Tower, act silly over the loudspeakers, and be part of the pseudo-dinner-theater of Crazy Ivan trying to get the sub to dive (there's always some mechanical failure of course), thinking the KGB is after him, and desperately trying to defect to the US. He would also wander around the restaurant area and Torpedo Room, causing general mischief, buying drinks, and keeping the lighthearted party atmosphere going while maintaining the bizarre Soviet Theme.
Thats what I would do if I suddenly became a billionaire.
But that's just me.

Have drones carrying smoke machines and projectors projecting alien spacecraft all over the sky. Have them firing fake lasers into buildings I already purchased and set the buildings on fire by remote control.

Research and development of cheese trees and then a couple nurseries and orchards for the trees themselves.
Gouda, Roquefort, Camembert, Stilton, Gorgonzola, Vรคsterbotten, Gruyรจre, Cheddar, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Mozzarella, Halloumi and Feta trees should cover the edible cheese spectrum pretty well.
I might need a few GMO scientists for this to work though, but it should be doable.
Oh man! A trip to Italy for a second wedding dress and soooo many clothes!! And, you know, a romantic overnight stay in a lovely hotel with my future husband ;)

I'd pay off the mortgage on my condo, buy a house with a big yard, rent out the condo, and maybe hit all the music festivals I can. I'd keep working, though. Insurance ain't cheap, and I wouldn't want to get bored.

I'd ask a woman out on a date and take her to McDonald's and tell her not only can she super-size her fries, but she can also get a soda in a soda cup, and she can order extra sauce for her chicken nuggets because I've got this!
I'd quit my job and just chill..... That's extravagant to me given I literally just joined the workforce full time. Having a shit job sucks... I miss school.

Custom home designed for entertaining. The piรจce de rรฉsistance would be a basement specifically for hosting LAN parties. 12 cutting edge gaming PCs in a circle. The outskirts would be multiple big screens with each console. Music, drinks, food. The works.

One of those new house builds they claim is "affordable" for the ordinary person.
I would be on the phone to Malala before I'd finished my coffee but I'd also have to wipe out all my immediate family's debts and hook them up with replacements or repair for anything broken. Sort out my mum's roof, my mother in law's carpet, husband's car, that sort of thing.
I don't want any luxuries but my lifestyle would be different if it was focused on using existing money to do the most good in the world rather than trying to be a force for good despite my lack of interest in billions of money.

I would buy a nice home, and have the interior and exterior work done on it until I was 100% satisfied. Other than that I do not need anything in my life. I would not even buy a car, I like bicycle. And consumerism and extravagant stuff mean nothing to me.
It's pretty boring, but I'd gift a few million to my parents. My mum is 65 and she still works so hard because she can't afford to retire. I want my parents to enjoy their senior years; travel, spend time with their kids and grandkids, and if anyone deserves to relax, it's my parents especially my mum.
Also, I'll finally marry my fiancรฉ and renovate my house.
It's a fantasy I've played out in my mind for a while. I don't want to be filthy rich, I want myself and my loved ones to be comfortable.
State of the art recording studio, with a grand piano, full range of Gretsch/Rickenbacker guitars, vintage organs, top end amps, audio stuff, the works. Easily drop a million on it, plus comfortable suites for playback, mastering, rehearsal etc.
Lease it for ยฃ1 a day to bands I like, or friends.
A beautiful van to see the country with! I got a taste this summer and I'm already itching to get back to the more remote parts of the USA, and doing it in style with some beautiful vintage van and not having to stress about money sounds like heaven.
Being that a billionaire has multiple billions, Iโd happily spends close to my total net worth (but not too close) to having the Cali Bay Area free of toll charges, as long as possible.

I'd quite like to clean up my city (literally, not like batman). I'm sure a few hundred thousand would be enough to pay people to clean everything up. A few hundred more thousand (per year maybe) would build housing and feed/clothe the homeless and suddenly my city is nice again. This would only cost less than a percent of my net wealth a year (I'd make more on that from safe investment of my billions), I might consider doing to every city I visited so they're nice when I get there, it would also probably get me a rep as a 'good person' so the public would overlook all the bad shit I'd do with the rest (vast majority) of my money. ๐

I'd go to Antwerp and go buy a bunch of gold just for fun. And maybe ask them to mold it in a glass frame to walk around with.
A billionaire, that's different than the "if you had a million/100million dollars". Usually I wouldn't immediately spend a bunch of money on high dollar items but with a billion I'm not going to run out. It would be a car but screw a Lambo or Ferrari, I'd go for a modernized restoration muscle car, maybe a classic british roadster or an old 911.
A house. Not a mansion or anything. Just a house. But in a different part of the country where I can have lots of flat land and less humidity. Probably in New Mexico. There would be no worry about finding work, so I would just choose where I want to be with no real compromise necessary. I live where I live because that's where work is. My girlfriend would quit her job and go with me in a second, and we don't want kids so we wouldn't even need to look at school systems. And neither of us really cares about family.
I'd probably build a sound studio in the house. I love writing, recording, and producing music. Also I could use it for freelance foley work, which I've always been very interested in.

I know I'm late to this post but... My dream has always been to buy an old victorian era glass house that's dillapidated and renovate it while keeping it as is. It would be my perfect house, whenever I visit a new town, I always explore the botanical gardens to find one, I just love the designs :)

I mean, outside of retiring and doing whatever the fuck I wanted that day? I'd probably aim to team up with Musk, and setup a moon base. We have him aiming for mars, and larry page aiming for asteroids, but nobody aiming for the moon despite it being generally agreed as the best place to start...
Short term purpose would be a research station and launch pad. Research facilities would be available for lease, to generate some income while demand for the launch pad becomes a thing. The money would go towards expanding the station, adding mining first, then manufacturing, then commercial services for tourism and those who work there.
Apart from the usual luxury travel at exotic destinations with the SO, I would buy a farm in a remote place and install a huge ass telescope with all the bells and whistles for astrophotography. Plus a nice homebrewing setup with a huge table beside for friends to come and drink beer :D. On second thought, I'd also need a private jet to bring them too..
In Oklahoma there was always a for sale sign along the Indian Nation Turnpike. It stated 20k acres for sale. I would buy that land then build a lake and a small town on it. I would then bring all the members of my family from Mexico to said small town to live and thrive. If they dont want to leave then thats ok.

I'm kinda poor right now, so I'd quit my job and would like to travel, never been on a plane, so would go in first class and have a long flight somewhere to far away from where I am at the moment.
Hiring actors, vehicles, helicopters, etc to suddenly turn up at my work all dressed up in fancy suits, arrest me, clear my desk and fly/drive away. If anyone asks them what they are doing, they will say itโs classified. And that will be the last time my coworkers ever see me.

Tailored clothes, high end espresso machine, aquariums, nice linens, pay off the house, buy out the neighbors (when they get older), invest and save for retirement.
We'd still work but we'd not have to stress about making money. We both love our careers but we both don't want to work full time (and we can get away with part time) so we can enjoy time with family.

A house in the countryside with lots of land and a stable, and 100s of horses and open my own riding center for free horse riding because I know how expensive it can be and I'd love to see how happy it would make people to be able to care and look after horses without the insane prices.
A fucking amazing house party in a mansion in the Hollywood hills (think Tai Lopez), I live in England but I'd I had billions I could fly everyone out and provide accommodation.
The most Niche/Specific video game that would put every other AAA game to shame in terms of graphics but no one would play because only I could enjoy it.
Imagine Rimworld, but first person. A massive and intricate tech tree that goes from what the average American would know to space travel.
Once you get to a certain size. The game will take on an RTS element. With mass scale faction warfare. As you take over a (properly scaled mind you) chunk of the planet, it goes to paradox style grand strategy.
All the while you do this you sitll are a player who can walk around your now palace and function with the survival mechanics. Though at this point it'll basically be a first person Sims as the npc employees will have taken over the menial shit.
You can conquer or trade or what ever, but guess what? Tech. Boom space ships time to colonize bitches! You can do it from the grand strategy mode or take the helm yourself, why not?
Well it won't be fun without people to conquer right? Nope procedually generated solar system, and then? The Galaxy itself!
And with a 100mil+ budget this shit will look like CoD WWII but play like one of my wet dreams...

There's a house for sale in Colorado. It's on about 7,000 acres.
I'd get that, and build other houses on it so my friends and family could stay there as long as they liked. And then I'd go to my old squadron and tell them that anybody who deployed for them could come stay as well.
Since that doesn't include the E-9 (Chief Master Sergeants are different, he'd be an insult to the title), I'd be happy to make that offer. He was a fucking useless waste of stripes and oxygen. And I'd love to watch him fume as I took better care of his people than he ever did.

As many orignal Salvador Dali pieces as I can get my hands on.
A penthouse apartment in the city where I live with a kickass view of the river that winds through it.
A 200 year old chรขteau in the south of France, with its own vineyard and gardens. I would restore it as orginally as possible, whilst adding all the mod cons. Also, I want a big water fountain filled with swans (not sure why, but this is my fantasy).
Take my children to live there for a year or two so they learn the language and their heritage.
Finally, my favourite 'fuck you I'm rich fantasy': buy the shittiest, barely holding together car. Dress myself and my kids up as the most revolting bogans ever- get all my tats out; possibly some wornout leggings, Ugg boots, and an AC/DC singlet or the like. Pile my bogan kids into my shit box and go shopping for a $300K+ car. Be sure to be as difficult as possible, but pay full price for whatever I buy so the salesperson gets a good comm. *spent 10 yrs selling luxury cars and think this would be great fun!
I'd want 4 houses across the globe. I only know for sure where 2 of them would be, but I'd want one for each season. I'd also consider getting a private jet. Not that thry're cost effective, but as a billionaore I bet I could afford the drain and it'd be much more convenient.

Basically, an area for both humans and all of the other animals to come and live in peace and harmony with one another.

Go buy an ass ton of land in a college town, build an ass ton of apartments and charge an ass ton of money to get more money out of those rich parents who also have an ass ton of money
I would buy the building the bar i work in is in, as well as the rest of the block and on st patricks day i would throw the biggest block party ever seen in my city and make sure all bartenders were more than adequatly taken care of. Then i would set up a charity for cancer patients that cant afford chemo and rent/utilities or food. And also id probably buy a racecar. Or an indoor skydiving machine/ invest in a car with wings, so if i ever got pulled over id just fly away. Or as far as extravagance id go to the brittish museam and attempt to buy all the antiquities i could.
as someone with money, and nearly any material possession I could ever want, I wouldn't waste the money, I'd donate it to charity.
I'd probably just single-handedly fund planned parenthood or start up a series of homeless shelters in major cities in the U.S.
the only thing I could think as a stretch goal to "waste" money on would be to buy a coffee shop, turn it into a join venture library and name it "cerebrew." Knowing me, I'd get bored quickly and not want to put in the effort into it that it would deserve to have.
I'd much rather use the billions to give it to things that need it more than myself.

I would contact the writers of HBO Rome and get them to start a completely new series. There was a lot of interesting things to have happened from the founding of Rome to its destruction so they have plenty of material they can work with. I would want it to be a good drama without sacrificing the historical accuracy too much.
Also it'd be nice to buy myself a large property where I could spend my free time on various projects such as making a lagoon with landscaping and water features etc to raise fish. And of course travel around the world a bit and get drunk in various locations.
I would build my own medieval village nestled somewhere in the woods. I would obviously have to hire some people to tend my grounds and it would probably turn into some weird type of cult later on, but that's fine.
I really want one of those huge mansions with multiple waterfalls inside, some see though floors and a gigantic pool at the bottom where all the water from the waterfalls flows in. I want a gigantic closet full of clothes shoes and hermes handbags and a big garage with all of the latest super cars and a couple classics.
1969 Chevy Nova mint condition for my Dad. He still get misty eyed thinking about that car(mom got rear ended by drunk driver totaled it) I donโt care what it would cost I would find one in the dark blue and add on to the garage, so he could give it a good home.
I would buy an island. Create my own nation. Begin building large structures and start housing my own private military, eventually expanding into other territories (just to name a random few examples, Afghanistan and Africa), and develop a special kind of harness that unleashes a balloon and rockets enemy combatants into the air to be put in a cell and coerced to work for me. All working towards the goal of creating a world without war, conflict, or political control.
I'd have a fully functional toilet crafted out of cheese. I've wanted this since I was about 12, I have no idea why. It just seems like something worth bragging about at parties.
I would buy a ridiculous amount of land somewhere out west and one of the things I would put on it is a race track. Then buy a fleet of miatas or STis or whatever looked good that week so that when friends came over we could race. When the cars got too beat up, demolition derby time.
It would probably take a while for me to get comfortable with extravagantly lavish. I'd probably just buy a house. And pay someone to move me into it. And hire someone to clean it and make sure everything's good with the electric and plumbing and stuff.

I would rent a racing track for a week and buy some supercars (La Ferrari, Koenigsegg AgeraRS, Bugatti Veyron RS, Ariel Atom V8, etc.). Then I would invite my friends over to drive them under the very best driving instructors and be catered to by three star Michelin chefs with their full crews, top baristas and bartenders. I would have three craft breweries make custom beers and ciders to the liking of each guest. I would have Henry Rollins host the whole thing and at the end I would have him roast each of my guests and then me.
My idea is kind of humble and extravagent. I once dreamed I had a massive oak tree in my back yard but below ground under a massive glass sheet. Think glass 100 feet square and walking across it and looking down on your oak.

An indoor swimming pool. I love swimming for exercise, but the local community center has adult free swim either from 5 am to 7 am Friday and Sunday, or you have to swim with kids during general free swim which is like Tuesday and Thursday 5 pm to 7 pm and it's constantly packed.

Bankrupting a former boss. Not my current boss he's awesome.
I would buy a plot of land across from or adjacent to his. I would then build a space building and buy a fleet of buses (it is a bus company). Next, I'd begin hiring away his employees until he defaulted on his contracts and then I would take them from him. We're not done yet, next I systematically bury him in State and local inspections until he has no choice but to sell out.
At that point I would get really nasty. In the end I would buy the site for pennies on the dollar and bulldoze it into the ground. Then put up a public park.
I figure all of this would cost around 10 million. But it would make a good write off for years to come, and the spite business would probably be worth around 5 mil.
I worked there years ago. The boss was a screaming tyrant, who wouldn't spend a dime he didn't have to, but would spend hundreds if not thousands in labor hours trying to Jerry rig things rather than spend less fixing it right.
I was a mechanic and he made me take a roll back I'd never run before out onto the highway to tow a car. I had never used the truck before, I had never even towed before. I could have easily been killed, or killed someone else.
I still have nightmares about this prick to this day and it's been well over a decade since I worked there.
The place was so bad that they had a "Mechanics Wanted" sign out front that they never took down. I worked with one other guy who I liked, he was a good tech and he taught me a lot about diesel engines. I told him if he ever left I'd put in my two weeks on the same day. He told the guy he was leaving and put in his two weeks, I stopped the boss on the way back in to the building and told him I'd be leaving as well. He was so mad he fired me on the spot. Which was fine because I had lined up another job and I hadn't had a vacation in over a year, but it meant I had to arrange a pickup of my tool box. So I sat out front with my whole box for two hours until my father came.
I was young then. I don't put up with screamers today.

I would buy my weight in weed, and then drive around the country in the most bitchin and extravagant RV i could find, seeing all the sights I could never afford to as a commoner.
I'd pay off student loans.
I'd rent an apartment, buy a house on a good plot of land, and I'd buy a 2018 toyota corolla IM and a 70s corolla and a 4runner TRD in red. I'd then buy an airplane hangar and put a Cessna skyhawk and an apache attack helicopter in it. I'd have all my clothes hand tailored in Victorian styles and I'd hire someone to drive me around in a 1950s Rolls Royce.
I'd also buy a ballista and use it to hurl spears at things. And build a racetrack on my property so I can drive as fast as I want without getting arrested.

Buy all the DLC for Train simulator and then continue not having the game installed.
I'd pay to dub the entire original Star Wars trilogy. Every Jedi, Rebel, and otherwise 'Good' character would be voiced by John C Reilly using the same voice. Every Sith, Empire, or otherwise 'Bad' character would be voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait using the same voice. Bobcat would use a voice modulator to mildly change the resonance and echo of his voice for Darth Vader. When Vader is redeemed in the final act of RotJ, his voice actor would change from John to Bobcat mid scene. The entire trilogy would be released as a single cinematic event with only the title scrollers breaking up the movies. Theaters would be segregated into Darkside and Lightside seating based entirely on the opinions of the theater managers as to what constitutes one or the other. Beer, Wine, and Cider would be served.
I'd go to auctions and buy expensive scotch and wine, and then drink them on the spot out of a Jersey Mike's cup that I just finished drinking tea or coke out of. I'd pair the scotch or wine with Chic-fil-a or BBQ platters.
I'd hire my close friends as "No" people. Their entire job is to tell everyone else 'No' any time someone asks me for something. Want money for your small business? No. Want me to back your micro budget documentary? No. Want me to pay for your kid to go to college? No. I'm already good at saying 'No' to my friends, so that won't be hard to handle myself.
Annual '$3000 Race Across America'. Each of my friends gets $3000 to find a car and then race from Key West to Seattle. Whatever you don't spend on the car is what you have to spend on everything else other than gas and food. If you can't/won't go any further because you are out of money, your car is dead, etc.....you get flown to Seattle and then have to be the winner's servant for the week we're there.

Easy, I'd buy an island. Then I would have the most kick-ass race track installed on said island. Then I would populate my gigantic garage with all manner of exotic sports cars.

Me and my old childhood buddies have a dream of together buying a suitable piece of land and developing it into a private housing area overtime. Where we and our families live as neighbours, we work together on financing and designing plots and houses to rent/sell to good people.
If I woke up a billionaire I would make this dream happen, I would finance the land and have my buddies free reign over their houses/yards (within reason of course, we would likely hire a professional design firm to work with). Which I will finance for them and kit-out with the most top-of-the-line equipment, solar shingles, house batteries, geothermal backup, you name it. Pretty much the best money can buy.
Also, not really a lavish thing but this would give me the most personal joy, happiness and satisfaction I could ever get in my whole life - Paying off my parents debt, completely renovating and refurbishing their house and probably see if I can use this gift to help convince my dad to go to a rehabilitation center for alcoholics.
I would probably follow the โif you win the lottery, youโre fucked and donโt do anything stupidโ guide that was on one of the economic subreddits a while back.
Not giving money to people, but making trust funds. Spend a little myself, but keep an account to live off the interests, and boy, thereโll be interests.
Help with friends and familyโs /basic/ needs. But only the closest.
I wouldnโt spend ridiculously, basic stuff. But probably a bit of luxury here and there, a new wardrobe, a car and a better apartment, but not anything too big, what should I use the space for anyway? Two, maybe three rooms are enough for me.

The most lavish thing?
Cleaning service
Personal chef and nutrition expert
That's it. I don't want to clean or cook ever again.
Next in line would be a nicer place to live. Probably buy some land where I can't hear cars driving around at all hours and have a house built. Nothing lavish, but nice. Include a couple "carriage house" type apartments on the property for the cleaning people/person and chef(s). Make sure those apartments are far enough away that I can't hear anything they do.
If I had enough Money to throw around, I'd buy enough of EA's stocks to become the majority share-holder, and then tell them to stop being a bunch of cunts... and fire the dumbass that keeps making stupid decisions.
Maybe then they could make good games without fuckin it up all the time.
Would hire a team of professionals and buy a equipment to build real mech robots (like titanfall or anime ones).
Currently I'm working on developing a new physics theory for anitgravity-drive and zero-point energy source. Main problem with building real mech is huge mass and lack of compact energy source, when those problems will be solved it's possible to build real mech with our current tech level, but it would require about 1M-10M$
I'm actually going to do this anyway, I have some money for building antigravity engine prototype when I'll finish a theory, but several billions would definitely help to speedup a process of real mech building.
Id use my dumb money to pay off property taxes and get the government to fuck off of small punk and music venues all over america. So that punk will never die due to the system.

Start a big scholarship and pay for a few of my friends to go to college. I don't think they would take it if they knew it was from me, but some of my friends got a shit deal in life and it would be nice to help them even out the playing field and get a chance.

I WOuld love to just buy property around the world.
first I would pay off my mortgage and my families mortgges, then i would go looking for my dream house which is a large victorian townhouse probably somewhere in Islington. I dont like West London so places like Mayfair and Chelsea arent for me.
I would also buy a bunch of rentals fior the future.
I would then go abroad and buy a few places in Hong Kong and New York, a villa in Ibiza, Bali and Georgetown in Penang ( my favourite place ever)
Im very frugal so it would just be all invested in order to make more money so in 10 generations we would still be super rich.
I will have some frivolities though- hit Savile Row ( the only place in the world to get a suit made) to get some bespoke suits made for me, I would commission Jim Lee to do some unique one of a kind artwork for me, I would spend a bunch on classic cars- Mercedes Sl W113 and an E-Type Jag, personal chef and trainer, personal drug dealer etc
Two words, Inheritance Tax. In the UK, anything over ยฃ650,000 is taxed at 40% :( Sorry to rain on your parade. At least a few generations will be filthy rich! BBC
ah but not if you transfer the assets into your kids names before you die.
My mum has been doing that over the last few years as she owns a bunch of houses. they are all in me and my siblings names in order to get around the inheritance tax problem when she dies.
If everything goes to plan only the family home will be liable for inheritance tax.

Well based of the current travel speed we can do i wouldn't really expect to get to any planet that is "safe enough" minus mars since that sucker belongs to big daddy Elon. I would most likely live in the ship, but if i could choose i would choose a moon instead of a planet. Most likely Titan i think it would be amazing to see Saturn from that position. Also i probably wouldn't land on the moon i would just live in orbit around it.
Same here. But it's fun to dream. My mom always said that dreaming about doing something nice and planning for it are as much fun as actually doing it. :)
Invest in a penis pump that actually works and a multi-million campaign to inform people on the internet about it in subtle flash-based ads that will pull them in.
As a guy currently rocking a Toyota Camry who is side eyeing a Subaru WRX id buy a supercar. Id probably never take it to track days but just tooling around town would be wild.
Oh man, they're beautiful. My boyfriend has a 2016 that he's modded quite a bit. It definitely turns heads around town. The only downside is that cops watch you way closer than everyone else if your car can be heard from miles away lol.
As someone who worked in the service industry for way too long, I would buy a restaurant, have great food, reasonable prices and the best servers anywhere. I would give the servers carte blanche to tell nitpicky customers to GTFO whenever they wanted. I would pay the dishwashers more than anyone in the house, because if you don't have good dishwashers, you're sunk.

Surgery for my neck so I donโt have nerve pain anymore. Dental implants , because I was poor and emergency dental services for poor people consists of extractions. I am no longer poor, I am actually in pretty good shape financially but I canโt afford thirty thousand to redo my grill. I canโt take off 2 months to recover from surgery. That is why dreaming about being a billionaire gets so many responses.
I would probably spend a few weeks just doing nice things for other people but never telling anyone because if you do something kind for someone else from the goodness of your heart, it shouldnโt be for publicity. I would be paying overdue bills, buying cars for single moms, paying for random peopleโs groceries at the store, cover expenses for local foster parents who are making a difference, that sort of thing.
Itโs a pipe dream of mine to truly make this kind of an impact in my world. Until I wake up a billionaire I will keep doing little things for people until I can do the big stuff.

Iโd get rid of that fucking weeping spruce tree and the pile of rocks in my backyard and have a professional move the rest of the gardens etc to around the perimeter instead of being right in the middle.

I want better battery life (or failing that a user-replaceable battery), a micro-SD slot, a headphone jack, microscopic bezel, an OLED screen, gorilla glass, usb-C, unlocked, good camera drivers. Don't need lots of RAM, don't need lots of storage (SD slot fixes this), don't need latest CPU. Doesn't need to be Kevlar. Nexus 5 style rubbery plastic is fine.
I would set up a fake company in another city so i can offer myself a fake job with fake good pay and fake benefits so i could move away from my family and not tell anyone i know that I'm rich. This would also let me avoid people asking for shit and trying to get close to me for money.

Iโd become the biggest shareholder of Tesla and force Elon musk to develop an 18 wheel truck model. Iโd work out a deal so that Tesla can only sell these trucks to me. Then Iโd start a trucking business using these electric trucks and dominate the highways.
Then Iโd buy all the damaged property in Puerto Rico and build brand new apartments in their place. Iโd charge low rent for high quality living areas because of what they have all been through down there.
Iโd buy a mansion obviously and a few cars:
Lamborghini Huracan

Everybody needs a hobby right?
I would buy signal Hill (small City in the middle of the city I live in) fill it completely with tall pine trees, completely make a forest of it. Then build a giant castle at the peak. Make it as medieval as possible. Make it resemble as close to Dracula's castle.
i can get a 7000 SF condo - might do that. really, after securing a place to live that's really nice, i'd spend my time flying places and maybe sailing around

A steam room in my house, but instead of a plume of hot steam it would be that of marijuana smoke.
I work at a nursing home that's really run down, and facing a lot of budget cuts. Most of our residents are on Medicaid/Medicare (I can never remember which is which... Govt assistance anyway.) With cuts to the program, our budgets are cut as well.
I've long since had plans for the newer, much nicer building I'd put up for these folk to live in.
First, it needs to be very efficiently designed from the bottom up. Probably get that solar panel glass everywhere possible. A good, efficient, actually functional hvac system.
An enclosed outdoor patio area or two where residents can go outside whenever they want and smoke (in designated areas) or enjoy the fresh air or help in the resident garden plot - flowers and decorative plants to both help the air (eww smoke lol) and help them feel good.
A properly set up kitchen and dining area, designed with the resident + staff capacity in mind. Unlike the one we have now, it'd be spacious, with reliable equipment, fridges and freezers that actually work and don't break down every time you turn around. Set up with adequate ventilation and cooling so workers aren't getting heat sick. And just be set up to make and provide better food with more choices than residents have now.
An activities room they can go to whenever they want to check out books, watch movies, do crafts, etc.
A game and technology center where they can play games - card, board, and video - get on Facebook, etc. PCs would need to have some pretty good security software and filtering, but still. A lot of our residents are younger than the typical nursing home age, and quite capable of using social media, playing online games that aren't just Candy Crush and its bajillion clones, etc. Would probably need a staff member to assist and supervise. That'd be my job right there.
Well-designed offices and staff spaces. Nurses stations that aren't falling apart. Offices with computers, fax machines, etc that aren't haunted or otherwise prone to refusing to work every time you turn around. Those vital signs machines on rolling stands so they don't end up disappearing all the time. (Especially thermometers and pulse oximeters.) Med rooms that aren't cut off from hvac. Linen closets that actually have enough space for the things we need to store there. A laundry room with enough equipment to actually keep up with demand. Bathrooms and shower rooms for residents that are designed with wheelchairs (and staff to assist people in wheelchairs) in mind. Bedroom closets that can hold more than barely a dozen hangers of clothes and two pairs of shoes. Heavy duty storage lockers for each resident to combat the ever-present thieving problem. Enough outlets so they can actually plug in their bed, TV, DVD player, radio, and phone all at once. Even o2 concentrators and a fan if they need it.
I already know exactly where I'd build it too. I just need to hurry up and win the lottery or invent the next PayPal before some other developer buys it and puts up houses or something.
What if a year later they had all gotten themselves even deeper into debt than before? This is probably not uncommon. Wouldn't you wish you had just set up an irrevocable trust with a monthly payment forever to avoid the awkward sob stories?

Since my mom died in march 2016, I'd take my dad out for a nice dinner. And probably on a vacation. He deserves it, but unfortunately we aren't in the opportunity to do so at the moment.
Vacation at the nicest resorts I could find and do all the outrageously expensive tourist shit.
Also do a HALO jump.
And spend an absurd amount of money on a suit of spartan armor and go to any events where cosplaying is acceptable.
Also guns.
And probably a really expensive custom lightsaber.
Iโm a fucking nerd.
Id get the penthouse suite in some high class hotel in Vegas and order 50 high class hookers for the weekend. Iโd have a full bar, all the drugs available and Invite a couple of my buddies and party and fuck all weekend.
Get a lot of fucking land with a decently sized cottage, hire some chefs and trainers and doctors/clinic room and adopt all the death row dogs I can fit into the cottage comfortably and just basically foster them and do it all over again when those dogs find homes. I'd get them those big cushy beds and those expensive antler sticks to chew on and have the best food for them to be healthy and happy. They'd have a pool and couches to cuddle up on and people to take them out on walks or to play with.
After that if I'm up to the challenge bring in more animals.
I would buy the house right next door to Ice Cube and if someone was already living there, I'd buy it out from under them.
Once I moved in I'd wait about a week, then go out and do yard work right about the time Cube was getting his mail or some shit he doesn't already pay someone to do. I'd do the stereotypical white neighbor thing and wave at him and say "howdy, neighbor!" And then we'd talk for a minute about how life is going for him, then he'd invite me over for a glass of glenlivet (Ice Cube is fancy I imagine). While over there, I would look at his collection of records and he would ask me if I wanted to listen to one. I would say yes. We would pop in "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" and he would soon learn that I know all the words to every song on the album. But I wouldn't say the N word, out of respect. He would be so impressed by me and my hilarious jokes that he would invite me to a basketball game that evening. I would enthusiastically accept. We would go to the game and get matching jerseys and wear them all night. We would then go and grab a drink and some wings at a bar near the stadium we were at, with an entourage following us all the way. We would call up some hot bitches to come sit with us and look fine, and chat about how the world is changing, all while being at eye level with some sweet boobies. After a full night of Cube's favorite activities, we would return home. He would have his driver drop me off at the end of my driveway and I would step out of the car. As I get ready to walk away, I would hear Cube say "hey hold on," and turn around. When I looked down at him in the car, he would give me a fist bump and say "you a'ight." Then we would be best friends until we died and everyone would wonder why Ice Cube's best friend is a 22-year-old white girl. The end.
I'm a Private Pilot, but living with Sleep Apnea has made my third class medicals an expensive PITA. So much so, in fact, that I can't be bothered to do another one, even though the new ruling means I won't need another for the rest of my life. I'd rather just fly LSAs.
This plane? This would let me fly the kind of cross country trips I enjoy.
I'd go around to struggling mom and pop shops (butchers, tailors, small restaurants, cheese delis, pubs, etc...) And pay off their mortgage / buy the building and give it to them.
Until a teleporter becomes available, I would like to invest in a private jet and a pilot who doesn't mind playing my therapist. I know people in NY, Australia, Iceland, California, Florida, Ohio, ect. and I think life would be perfect if they were only a few hours away whenever I felt like going to see them.

I would run the heat way up while leaving the windows open and while tucked in a blanket so I can experience the crisp fresh fall air and the warmth and comfort of a fall night in. The heating bill for this hedonistic extravagance would be several hundred dollars.
Stock up on the best foods, whiskey and beer available.
Bring some friends and travel wherever.

I'd use the money to leave. Quit my job, break my rental agreement, hire people to store all my stuff somewhere. I'd put a backpack on, grab my wallet and toothbrush and set out. I'd stop in Boston to see if my Ex wanted to come with... we broke up because of a long distance relationship and she's still my best friend. Would be a great traveling companion. Then I'd head off to South America. I wouldn't travel in big fancy hotels or anything. Just travel light and know that money isn't an issue.
I'd build the ultimate game room. On one wall there'd be at least ten PC's pimped out with the ultimate hardware. Fairly near that there'd be a large couch facing a flatscreen T.V. with every gaming console hooked up to it. Then I'd fill the rest of the space with a foosball table, pool table (billiards), dart board, ultimate table-top gaming table, etc. I'd probably also have snack/drink machines that I keep constantly stocked. And if I could find them I'd probably throw in some old timey arcade machines as well. Then I'd just have people over every weekend.
Bribe a few government officials and go straight back into the military without having to have a passing PT score. Would still go through all the training but I've been at this since January I'm frustrated as Trump without access to Twitter.
i would buy a 100 acre farm, and build a no-kill shelter for problem animals of any and all kinds, and senior pets. I'd take any and all that couldn't find a place, be it a zoo, sanctuary, kennel, home, whatever. I would spend whatever I needed to, to keep the local pounds open and functioning well enough that they never needed to put down a dog or cat unless it was absolutely necessary. "abrandnewrapture, the county pound is full, they have 15 dogs that they're going to put down next week and we are at capacity." -- "sounds like you need to call the guy that builds our kennels and tell him we need 15 more by this weekend." -- "but what about that giraffe enclosure?" -- "Call the guy. Tell him we need 25 and i'll give him a 25% bonus on his quote if he can have the kennels and enclosure all done by monday."
... in my opinion, i honestly don't think i could feel better about myself, with anything else i could ever do.
Super late here, but I would buy all the commercial ad space on billboards across the US and put up Fred Rogers quotes. Love that guy

Taco bell.
Literally, I'd buy the damned stores from them.
I get easy-ish income for life, and free taco bell for life as long as i'm not stupid about how I get it. Plus I'd make sure people make my XXL fucking properly for once. Seriously, who wants a burrito with all the sour cream in one spot?
You sound like you'd run a tight & efficient operation. I'd buy my cumin-infused laxatives from you.

I would buy an ACTUAL CASTLE. I'm talking moat, turrets, drawbridge, all that. Then I'd build a 7-mile-long straight driveway and buy a Bugatti Chiron so that I could max the chiron every day when I left my house.
It would be interesting to see if there is a castle anywhere that is situated such that you could buy 7 miles of straight land have it not intersect an existing road or other problematic object.
A Supercomputer, so I can finally play Skyrim at 60fps. /s

Buy out all the out of town property owners, reducing the rent for the store managers to nothing so they can actually make a profit and not go out of business.
Also walk through the city and hand homeless people an envelope with 10 grand in it, with only one request, that they tell me their story. Sit with them and listen to it, thank them for their time and hand them the envelope.
I'd buy a large plot of forested land and build a mansion or a castle on said land. It wouldn't be a mansion with modern architectural styles either; I'd want a classic-looking palace made to my specifications with lots of secret rooms and passageways and secret basements.
Then I'd pretend to be a lord or a king or something of the sort and dress and style myself as such, and I would only respond to people calling me "your majesty". When you're rich enough to buy a mansion you're rich enough that you no longer need to pretend to be sane and can instead just embrace your madness and run with it.

A decked out home gym.
I like working out. I just hate working out with other people around. And I hate waiting for equipment.
I'd hire the best lawyers and set them to the monumental task of gathering the evidence needed for a foolproof impeachment case, setting the stage for the village idiot to be evicted from the White House and clearing the way for someone who doesn't need foreign manipulation to be elected.

I'd buy up all of the concert tickets for someone I really didn't like, then just not bother going.
I'm a simple person. I'd build a nice, moderately sized house with a pool, go to college, and live comfortably without having to worry about if I can pay the bills. Of course I'll do the same for some friends and family, too.
But I'll be damned if I'm not going to build the best PC I possibly can. And I'll buy the newest consoles as they come out, along with whatever old ones I can get my hands on. I want a pull-out digital art desk on the side. I'll have a beautifully done, color-themed setup and the comfiest chair. I want feel like I have to cry from joy when I look at it.
And then I'll make/play video games for the rest of my life.
Also: snakes. A boa in my living room with a tall tank that gives it all the room it needs to climb. A beautiful python over the headboard of my bed. An adorable hognose in the dining room. All with planted tanks that suit their species' needs. I'd even import their food so they can get what they'd be eating in the wild. I'll be a good snake mommy.
Go to college and get a law degree with a minor in philosophy. Then help get laws past to regulate the justice system, try to destroy for profit prisons, attempt to adjust the sentences of individuals with drug charges, create a reform system within the prison system etc.. just try to change things for the better.
I'd buy all the vacant homes in my city and have them replaced with community gardens. That'd only cost a couple mil and would clean up the area and give residents a sense of pride again. The rust belt needs a major face lift and this could be one way to galvanize the long standing history and tradition that makes us proud to call it home.
I'd also hire entertainers to visit the nursing homes and hospitals to give those residents some sense of joy and hope.
For myself? I guess I'd splurge on a private jet and crew to take me to major cities around the world where I'd celebrate the culture and experiences those people take for granted. Also a black lab puppy. I'd name her after a Final Fantasy character or something related to space, maybe Yuffie or Andromeda.
Iโm such an introvert. I would buy a island and move there, not allowing anyone, not even friends or fam to visit. I know so bad.....but so worth it!!!! I mean, not stay there forever but itโs a much needed spot for someone as introverted as me. Being alone in my home is not enough to recharge. I need to be away from all mankind thatโs how bad it gets. Anyway, thatโs my answer, kinda generic considering some actual billionaires actually owns many islands o well I want it for completely different reasons ;)
Close Family, (fuck you Omar, jk but actually not you. Your mean) and my Closest friends. They wouldn't have to work a day in their lives, and have whatever with the hopes they use it to better themselves. I'd want to go to space and go to college to learn how to make music. And my 4 friends and I would have insane adventures

he always sold a bunch of my stuff. Before he moved out, around when I was 18 (he was 23ish), he sold a bunch of my belongings including; 2 bikes when I was a kid, my ripstick, iPod touch, psp, ds. All which I bought because I would work with my dad on weekdays or ask neighbors if they wanted their car washed for 10$. He would sell them to get stuff for himself.
A JEEP Rubicon, CJ2A, CJ3, another CJ5 (with AMC 304), a YJ, a TJ, and maybe a small house with a detached garage or barn that I could park my JEEP collection in. After that I'm hiring a financial advisor and investing.
I would build a matrix of satanic statues/clock-towers across the Midwest in small religious towns. At 12:00 They would scream "your god does not exist" I would do this just to piss people off and to attain reddit and 4chan game.
4 Alpha Black Lotus's, and an Alpha booster box. Wait, the question says "waste". Uh, a gold and diamond encrusted I Phone 8 to smash in front of apple fanboys and fangirls. All I'd have to do is drop it from knee-height.
Edit: Actually, no. It doesn't fit in the theme of waste, but I just found out the daughter of the owner of the fish and chip shop down the road died, so I'd get her a crypt (fitting in the theme of extravagantly lavish) and give the rest to her father.

The most enormous plot of land I could afford while putting a decent house on, with an attached gigantic garage with every tool known to man that is connected to the literal racetrac in replica shape of the Nurburgring. When I mean enormous, I mean that if I were taking a trip to the mail box there would be a literal question as to which vehicle or animal I was taking that particular day.

why stop at just nurburgring? why not just built a replica of every single well known track in existence? You could become THE place for famous drivers to come and practice year round.
The entire point of it would be so that I didn't have to deal with people except on the occasions when there wasn't another choice or I actually wanted to talk to them.
Multi bedroom home. I Don't foresee myself settling into a relationship anytime soon, and i have an increasing level of social anxiety, so i don't plan on hosting any parties. Probably somewhere in the mountains too, away from the majority of people.
A mansion, with a man cave, a private theater, a bowling alley, a club room with disco balls and giant tvs, and on site personal chefs that are available 24/7 to cook korean, Japanese, American, Mexican, Chinese, Italian, French, and Thai cuisine.
Buying property upon which would be built a nice house (designed by us with the help of an architect), a studio, a workshop/forge for my guy, and offices for his gaming company. Oh, and we'd be going to Essen followed by a European tour.

The Game of Thrones theme song. I would have a tangible real life version made of it.
Full studio with piano, guitars, basses, drums, ducking trumpets and saxophones in a completely sound proof booth and the most badass mixing desk I could find and just jam away the weekends with my friends til we die.....now Iโm sad.
Edit: I like ducking trumpets

I've always said this, but if I was truly rich I'd never use the same towel twice. Just wipe bbq sauce off my mouth on a fluffy white towel and then throw it away and reach for new one...
Step 1: Pay off all our loans.
Step 2: Buy a new car.
Step 3: Buy a beachfront house somewhere near the equator.Modest studio space and a pool added if not already present.
Step 4: Investments.
Step 5: Philantropy.
I would create a perfect, lifesize, FUNCTIONING replica of Commisar Yarrik's Fortress of Arrogence then use it to run over traffic while blaring Kill 'Em All at max volume out of the speakers of said Baneblade.
Oh I've seen houses that I just DROOL over the thought of living in. In magazines, online and on TV shows about best house designs that are sometimes worth in the tens of millions (or in some very rare cases over $100 million) I could easily spend at least $10 mil though just designing my dream home, and a few million extra on top of that for the site to build it on alone because damn right I'm going to choose a popular city/beach area as my new residence.
While I would go out more as a billionaire, I would just love having a luxury home to return to every night. A place that has everything I need to be happy for those days where I'm just not feeling like going anywhere but don't want to be bored either. A huge TV with surround sound for my gaming and movie nights. An infinity pool in my beautifully landscaped tropical garden overlooking the city or water. A nice big saltwater aquarium built into the wall (I've always loved those, I'd just pay someone to maintain it) nice furniture, unique lighting and an overall extremely modern and "chic" design to suit my tastes for the contemporary and high end which I can only dream of ever being able to afford now. I'd consider everything - including keyless security because to hell with having to fuck around with keys every time I want to get into my house. I'd have a bright orange Lamborghini in my garage too, not that I'd need it much since the beach and surrounding boutique shops and restaurants would be within walking distance and the city not much further out but hey it'll be cool to drive around in style.
Yes I'd be going on a lot of holidays with that kind of money. But travelling is too exhausting to do it all the time. So I'd want a home that still feels like I'm on a five star holiday every time I walk into it. I'd buy my family everything they wanted. We'd still go on one major holiday a year, maybe more and stay in the best resorts while there. We'd eat out whenever no-one felt like cooking. None of us would work in our shitty soul-sucking jobs ever again and tedious chores would be left to paid staff to deal with our cleaning, planning and anything else because I would be totally fine with having someone else babysit all my needs while I spend all day having fun.
Head straight to McLaren of Newport Beach, purchase a Chicane Grey 675LT spider and drive it to my old job at a pre-owned exotic car dealership to rub it in my old bossโ face.
Edit: oh, then buy my mom her dream house on the big island and my dad the Bentley Continently GT heโs always wanted.
I'd buy a house. A fancy one. Close to the city center but with a very soundproof room so I have a place where I can want to do noisy hobbies without ever doing them.
โIf you woke up tomorrow morning a billionaire, what's the most extravagantly lavish thing you'd waste some money on?โ
Creating a new religion, with a twist. By replacing the usual universal notional credo: Accept the narrative, without question or query. With: Continually test-question the narrative. If verifiable itโll become stronger. If erroneous, who needs it?
Getting big beds out of my apartment. The apartment owners are stingy and it would cost me around $3000 to get done. I don't know what I can do except using a steamer over everything.
If you bought your place of work the owner would have to agree to it and would get that money. You would most likely be making them a very happy person.

A medieval looking castle residence, but the inside would be full of video games and rare geeky anime/video game/pop culture collectibles (and maybe a room for statues). The video game consoles would be set up in home cinema type rooms, and there will be other rooms for classic arcade games. One part of the castle will be a small amusement park, with one rollercoaster leading out of the castle on to the outside gardens. The gardens will have a large pool with slides leading from the house into the pool.
Yeah I think I would need a few billions to accomplish this. But I dream of achieving this one day. One day.
I used to make quite a bit of money, then i took it and invested into a somewhat lofty plan.I failed, but still believe in it.
I would restart it.
To be honest, since before I was able to do most things I wanted within reason. I would probably not just waste money, but spend it on certain investments.

Buy a huge castle preferably quite remote and make it as self sufficient as possible.
Then to top it off build a huge underground complex beneath it that can house multiple people animals and stuff.
I'd buy my grandkids (twins) each a Lego Store and have them play there all day long. No more stepping on them or getting pulled to the Lego section OF EVERY STORE WE GO or FIGHTING OVER THE SAME TOY!!!!
A water slide that leads to an indoor pool on the main floor of my home. Wake up, slide down the slide, go for a morning swim, then get out of the pool, and make myself a drink and breakfast at the fully stocked bar next to the pool.
Also, thousands of acres of land I can somehow set up into a nature preserve with a fully funded team of ecologists to maintain and develop into a new ecosystem.
Probably build myself that greenhouse resort that I keep seeing in those animes. You k ow the one with the full jungle, lazy river, amusement park...harem of girls with all ranges of dere and tiddies.

Lavish isn't my style, but... I'd probably purchase some bare necessities (a new, fuel-efficient car, a large condo in a city of my choice, some makeup that won't make my eyes swell). Then I'd purchase some organic cat food (the grain free shit), some organic cat litter, and I'd adopt a couple of cats from the pound (and microchip my current cats).
Then... IDK. Maybe a working typewriter from Etsy. Maybe a decent laptop.

All my debt and family debt gone.
Buy a ton of storage properties and laundry mats,
Open a gym,
Open a gun range,
Buy a golf course,
Buy land and build the house of my dreams.
All while continuing to work somewhere, and live off that money with occasional splurging so that hopefully my kids and their kids and so on will be set up for life
My friends and I all agreed that if we suddenly came into a fuckton of money, we would buy minor league baseball teams, and have the most ridiculous promotions...things like Monster Truck Night where the first 5000 fans get an actual monster truck. Also things like buying a golf course next to the ballpark and having the 18th hole be in the middle of center field.

Well I like to live in the city centre but I also don't like people, so I would buy an entire apartment block, demolish it, and then build a regular sized apartment for 4-5 people. I would have an anti-noise fence and a line of trees shielding me from the noise and people, yet I would be close to everything.
Probably buy a few books for the modules I'm taking at uni, but then again, I'd probably lose my billionaire status and millionaire status for the price I have to pay

Go to some ridiculous computer building site and just max out all the options. After that I would buy some land and build a build log house with a massive fireplace and stairway.
Actually, I would get the layout for the house from Until Dawn and build it like that.
I'd buy a house with a large shed for woodworking and blacksmithing, and a large attic or basement to be a (board and video) game room and music recording studio.
Then I'd buy the best PC I could that would still make sense, and I'd buy a couple of them, so I could host LAN parties.
I'd get my license.
I'd pay off my student loans, or at least set aside a couple million so I could later.
Also, I'd make sure to get all the books I'd ever want.

A beautiful greenhouse attached to my house, made of copper overlay bones and glass to get that gorgeous green patina. Iโd pay someone to figure out how to keep that patina and not progress to ugly brown patina.
Then Iโd hire people to plant and maintain the most beautiful seasonal flowers, year round. If youโve ever been to Longwood Gardens, I want that, the same thing Mr. DuPont had/has.
I'd buy a private island, put a beautiful resort / village on it and have it powered entirely by solar and wind power and served by a solar / wind powered yacht and open it to the public at motel 6 prices with some ridiculously high end private area just for the super wealthy just to show everyone it's possible and that it's time to end our use of fossil fuels.

A fleet of pleasure yachts, one in every city I could ever want to go, along with enough dedicated, capable people to care for all of them so I never have to do anything besides get my beer and get on the boat.
Well obviously I need an industrial-size embroidery machine. And a laser cutting machine for fabric. And a laser cutting machine for other materials. And a SLA 3D printer. And a workshop big enough to house all that shit.
I would look for the most pristine electron blue 04 Z06 and buy it. Then throw some sticky tires on it and go run the shit out of it at my local race track.
I'd buy a nice house on Puget Sound (and real estate is not cheap there)...but the extravagant bit would be a state of the art recording studio (with everything you could possibly need on the soundproofing and tech side) and stockpile of musical instruments. This would all be a part of the house.

I'd hover over the link to pay for WinRAR for a few seconds, then eventually decide "nah"
I'd build an enormous house with a massive garage and collect cars. Then I'd build an underground weapons room so I can finally get my gun collection going and I'd build an electronic target range. Then I'd buy a private jet with sexy air hostesses...think of Dan Bilzerian...that'd be me
A house that has enough land and square footage to own and live in my own small zoo, the animals for my zoo and the salary for people to help me with my animals.
Also I'd like enough room on my land for a brewery so I don't have to go buy beer all the time.

A month at Claridge's.
After that I'd do the stupid shit I've always wanted to do, like have a house built (complete with three levels of basement, the bottom of which is a nuclear bunker, the middle a computer lab (definitely housing an original PDP-11 running Research Unix v7), and the top one a wine cellar (I homebrew). Entertaining spaces (bar, guest rooms, whatever) on the ground floor, my personal living space (bedrooms, living room, office) on the first floor, and a library covering the whole second floor.
Probably subject to revision.

Iโd restore a grand old house build before 1920s. Or Artwork.
I would adopt a 3rd world country. Give them some loans and infrastructure to make industry turn. While I can dictate what their leadership does in return.
A boat and new fishing gear. Also a really expensive hunting dog that Iโd need to travel to buy. And a hobby farm with a couple cows, chickens, pigs and horses. Iโd have a nice two bedroom ranch on 500 acres and stock my personal pond with panfish and live off my own land.
I would leave my job. And buy an entire farmland which looks like my farn from the game Stardew Valley and design it the same way. I will spend my rest of the life there. I will also hire some people to dress as the monsters you fight in the game. And then will tell them to attack me. And I will kill them with my galaxy sword. I will also force all the people nearby to dress as the ingame NPC charaters. SO, I can find abigail and seduce her by making her eating lots and lots of quartz. Best life. Oh! I almost forgot about the grandpa...! Gotta kill him too so he can hand the farm to me. :)
I would never wear the same pair of socks twice. I love the feeling of new socks on my feet, and I would want that every single morning.

First thing I'm going to do with this money is feed all the cold hungry orphans and then donate to the independent secular charities and also donate to the orangutan rehabilitation sanctuary and just leave enough for myself for tonights supper, some organic dried almonds, some freeze dried goji berries and aloe vera oil for the skin
A modernised technologically integrated castle with 30 bedrooms and servants, then I'd pay out all my friends rents and have them all come live with me!

I've always wanted enough money to walk into some grocery/convenience store and just buy all of one thing. It wouldn't be something major like a pharmaceutical drug, but like a minor inconvenience for it not to be stocked. Like all of the soda in a store. Just to see the faces of the cashiers when I say "I would like to buy all of the Coke."
A really elaborate prank of some sort. That's always the thing I'm jealous of when I see celebrities with lots of money. Forget the big houses or cool care!

Easy. Spend a day with my fellow billionaire, Bill Gates and wife, enjoying breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea and dinner together all around the world! In other words, food hunting with the Gates!
$500/ credit hour. Minimum 30 hours. My field isn't compatible with online classes, so I probably wouldn't be able to work full-time. Tack on textbooks (up to $1000 apiece), travel expenses (no college near me has a decent program), and increased health care necessities (stress-induced everything), I'd be looking at a good 50 grand.
I'd buy a Boeing 777-300ER, find a suitable location to hangar it and keep it maintained and also airworthy. I'd live in my own aft cabin while I train from PPL through to APL, also accumulating the necessary hours and the correct tickets to fly my house.

Okay, I would login to my World of Warcraft account and buy all of the wow tokens, sell them on the Auction House and be the richest player on the server. Then, I would buy everything on the Auction House to see what comes up when I try to search everything and nothing is available. THEN, I would buy Lootboxes in Overwatch and see what comes in the lootboxes once you have every item in the game. THEN, I would go buy a kebab.
I would hire a team of top chefs. Then binge-watch all the food shows you can think of, while the chefs prepare the exact same food they're cooking in the show.
Imagine watching reruns of Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. Trip to flavour town from the couch, y'all!
A research foundation run off a diversified endowment tasked to support the fight exclusively against human aging- help enable humans to live older and be healthier longer. Through grants to Universities and international science groups studying everything from CRISPR to talomere breakthroughs from space I might be able to stick around to enjoy my new wealth much longer.
Also lobbying to keep the estate tax- screw any politician that believes wealth dynasty's should be a thing.
I'd buy a nice three or four bedroom house in the suburbs. Nothing too insane, but it's be nice to own a house without the worry of monthly payments for it and to give my beat friend a cheap or free place to live to eacape her hellion of a mother.
I would get myself a late birthday gift. My birthday was 2 days ago and me and my SO decided not to spend money on a gift and cake this year since college is crazy expensive as it is. Still kinda sucked. So I would probably go all out and buy nerf rival guns and have a fucking blast once my exams are over.
My long time dream is to open a pub where I'd just like to hang out and then do my own projects on a laptop behind the bar when it's quiet.
We'd have board games and some consoles, loads of cool beers and comfy places to sit. Everyone would be welcome to just hang out there, no big deal if you're going to buy one pint and stay for hours playing the games.
I'd also cook whatever I felt like that day. I'm big into cooking as a hobby but wouldn't want to be a pro chef. You'd come in and be like "Hey DuckSaxaphone, what's cooking?" and I'd be all like "Burgers today dude" and that's it. If you don't want what I'm making, you can bring your own food. I'll even leave menus out for the pizza place down the road.
Between my laid back attitude, refusal to cater to customer food demands and sheer unwillingness to make it work through working hard rather than hiring people to work the bar for me, I'd probably make a loss. But who cares about negative income as a billionaire?
Oh my goodness, I'd immediately go to college. I'd have no debt, brand new books, new laptop, I'd eat a lunch between every class, have my parking spot actually paid for, an apartment/ dorm a reasonable distance away, I'd take off work and pay off my car and other debts so I would only have to worry about my school work and I would use my status as a responsible well-off adult to get custody of my little brother who's still trapped with my abusive step-mother and then make sure his entire lifetime of education and hobbies are paid for. I guess that seems like more than one thing but it would be unimaginably lavish to actually be able to do a complete lifestyle makeover. Anyway, after all that, I'd build a castle.
A fucking yacht. All the more lavish because neither my wife nor have any background or interest in yachting, it's purely an inside joke. I would then sell said yacht, at a loss, but then we'd finally have our 'yacht money'. Yah boi.

Private planes varying from Boeing Business Jet to Airbus a380 size.

Sounds kind of petty, but I'd probably have a 40k army commission painted. Specifically I'd want an Imperial Guard army, but painted in the colours of the 501st Legion from Star Wars.
Full steam library of every game possible and make every digital badge in existence.
It would take months, but I would do it.
Also. Private account for several years to make sure I don't give away the fact that I have a fortune and I'm wasting part of it.

I'd buy houses. Lots of houses. But not just any houses; the ones my friends and family are now living in. I'd buy out all the mortgage debt if they've got one, or buy them outright from the landlords if they're renting. I'd then gift each one of them the deeds as anonymously as I could. I don't want any thanks, I just want to see them all set up and stable.
Then I'd go buy a house for myself. Big, but not stupid-big. I have no need for six bathrooms, eighteen bedrooms etc. Just big enough to house my family really comfortably and securely, and have space for friends and relatives to visit. I'd deck it out with decent plumbing, heating, new electrics, wired network in every room and decent mesh wifi. A cinema room and library would be my only really big extravagances. Then I'd build a small room. Maybe 12ftx8ft, and in there will be a decent sized TV, maybe a 32", no bigger, and my consoles and PC etc will be in there. And it'll be locked all the time and hidden away so I don't have to hear about how it's all 'old' or 'rubbish' and 'I should get rid of it all' any more.
I'll then basically never see or use any of it, because I'll quit this f##king job and go do fun things with my family, because I'll still care about the ยฃ/$ no matter how rich I am, but I want the hours and minutes stolen from me back more than anything.
Edit: As for stupid lavish, I'd go fund my own horror movie, because I'm damn sure I can do better than half the crap that gets made these days

When you have that much money, basically everyone is a hooker.
If I had it in cash, I'd probably give 80% away to charity right away. I would hire a personal travel agent/concierge/butler for my around the world trip.
Open up a studio where I could teach people how to sew and create the their own clothes. Hire others to teach different subjects like patterning and such. For those who might not want to/cannot pay all the money to go to college to learn fashion design like I did, still have debt and probably always will. The studio will have different departments, sewing machines, flat patterning and draping area. A room designated for photo shoots, room for fitting, front entrance area will be a boutique where we sell peoples designs, all designs will have graded out patterns so they can made for different body types. Bring in speakers once a month from different designers to organizations like AIBI(apparel industry board inc) and WGSN(worth global style network). Twice a year organize a Chicago based fashion show, something I think Chicago will benefit greatly from. And work on my own apparel lines. Hopefully bring in more textile businesses and bring a little competition for textiles in the city. Until then I will work for my boss making expensive drapery.
Membership can be offset by selling designs in the boutique.

My weirdest dream is to stand on the balcony of House's office, and hop the little concrete divider that leads to Wilson's. A billion dollars could make that dream come true.

Dump a lot of it into investments, probably look into buying a penthouse (there's a really big part of me that would get off looking down over the city). Then spend a lot of money making myself sexy. Personal hairstylist, fitted suits, workout coach ECT.
Then work on building up various artisic studios and projects for myself.

Well, first probably a bigger house. Like, substantially so.
Then it would have to be every Lego set ever made, thrice. Probably a lot of clear storage boxes to fit all those parts in. A huge table to build on. Now I'm set for life.
I would organize a World Martial Art Tournament just like in Dragonball. No age restriction, No weight category.
Rules:
If you kill your opponent, you are disqualified.
If you go out of bound, you are disqualified.
No weapon or outside help.
If you get knocked out, you have till the count of ten to get back up.
No time limit.
I always wondered what type of fighter would win this kind of event. Real fighting events are way too regulated to be interesting to me.

Apart from that I don't have much things in my mind.

The entire Patek Philippe and A. Lange & Sohne collections.
I'd pay people to stand on corners and just hand out copies of whatever book I chose. Just books I really liked that I think people should read :)
I'd buy a big house and find randoms on CL to live there. Then I'd hire a personal chef to make everyone breakfast lunch and dinner. They would still have to pay rent, but they'd get free meals! And it would be bomb food.
I'd assemble a recording studio and with my limited musical talent and ability I'd create the greatest album in the world.
Would hire a big game developer team, and we would push out free AAA level experimental games what a lot of developer want to try but they don't dare to waste years of free work on it. A billion dollar would be enough for about 10-15 years, especially if we don't want to spend any on marketing.

I'd just buy a really good $10k PC or something and a lot of games.
I don't really know what to do with that much money it seems. Maybe buy a custom made sword or bow or something I dunno, I like collecting medieval stuff.
I'd probably pump a ton of money into a video game with complete disregard for whether or not I actually make a profit. The whole point would be to make something that raises the bar for what makes a good game and force other studios to change their standards.
After doing all the responsible adult bullshit (e.g., paying mortgage, setting up trust funds, etc), Iโd buy Warhammer models. A lot of them. The most expensive would be the Forgeworld Tau Manta (a couple grand right there).
Then I guess Iโd have to quit my job to have time to paint them all.
Pay off my house would probably be the most extravagant. Bonus of having depression is nothing brings much joy so you stop doing extravagant things or even wanting them.
I would replant as many forests as possible and bring renewable energy to impoverished communities. Iโd also buy a dream house on the Oregon coast and another atop Mt. Hood. To add a cherry on top a personal driver and a chef.
Honestly, I'd find one of those youtubers like Jake Paul or Ricegum, give them like a few million just to see if they stop producing content.
They are always on about how making videos is such a part of them and they love doing it but pull every trick in the book to make as much profit as possible.
I'm betting if I throw them a few million to the point where they never have to work again I can get them to fuck off.

Jarnbjorn Castle, though to be honest I'm told it's more of a compound. I'd build a 3-4 story tall stone wall around a neighborhood of 7 houses for my friends and me to live in. I see the wall as looking like a castle from the outside and the houses actually built into the wall on the inside. The wall would have a hallway we could use to walk around to each other's houses in the winter. The courtyard would be huge and a safe place for our children to be able to play together.
I'd have my own pub/brewery built into the castle as a means of income. The first floor of the pub would be open to the public, but they wouldn't have any sight into the neighborhood. the second floor would be for residents only and have it's own entrance via the hallway mentioned earlier. The bar would have a little window out to the courtyard but it actually leads to an indoor pool area for the residents to be able to order booze and food while hanging out at the pool, residents always get priority over the public.
Courtyard would have a playground for the kids. There'd be a guard on site with an office situated within the wall near the big doors that lead into the courtyard. He'd sign for our mail and deliver to the houses inside. Each house would have it's own garage door entrance by the way so it's not like they have to enter through the gates or anything like that they have their own entry points.
I'd just want to treat my friends awesomely and give them a place to live for free so they had more opportunity to enjoy life and work less.
Sounds nerdy as fuck but Iโd buy an MTG card called Black Lotus. That card is worth thousands of dollars. Also Demonic Tutor, cause that shit is worth $50 but I donโt have that kinda money.
I'd buy a nicely sized plot of land and have a cute little cottage built on it with a big, heavily fenced yard filled with puzzle games for my husky and lots of small/medium trees for my cats.
Then, just a 5 minute walk from the cottage I would have a large shop built with all the necessities for my husband to store and work on as many cars as he likes.
After that I would buy another plot of land next to ours, hire some sound scientists (there's a word for this but can't remember) to design and build a wall around it to keep my house-land quiet so I can build a quarter mile drag strip and a little modest track.
And the last thing I would buy is a 2017 viper acr and I would hire Randy Popes to teach me how to race it.
Then I host car shows and drag/track events once or twice a month and continue to be rich forever

I'd buy a new pair of socks everyday.
I love the feeling of a fresh brand new soft pair of dress socks on my feet. I can imagine no better way to start the morning.
A yacht with a crew full of attractive women who are down to do whatever i want. The yacht would have a movie theatre full kitchen a 10 car garage filled exotic one off cars from manufacturers made specifically for me. As an added bonus i would buy the star wars franchise and make it great again
Honestly I'd just go ham with a mega expensive all-you-can-eat meal. That's the first thing that jumped to mind. Just book a flight to the most lavish dining locales and spend unabashedly on exquisite food.
I would build a house in the mountain. Not on it. In it. Mostly underground with metallic window shutters. A balcony and a few large windows. This underground home will be mostly sound proof so there will be a shooting range and indoor theater it would have a hydroponics lab a long with solar panels or a small wind farm zombie / civil unrest proof home to stash my remaining $20 in a beefy safe.
Would buy about 300 acres of land, develope it, build like 30 houses on it and invite all our friends to come live for free. Fuck the rat race, let's have community.

I would throw away all of my current socks and go buy several packages of the same exact ones. Then I would throw all of them in a drawer and never have to match socks again.
Work with me here, it doesn't seem extravagant but the most senseless thing I'd waste way too much money on is tracking down my first car. A 1996 Eagle Summit, my weird little hatchback only had 3 doors, a pitiful engine, and I loved it to death. Had to leave it behind when I moved across the country, but if it still exists in any form I'd easily spend at least 10x the sticker price getting it shipped to me and completely restored exactly the way I had it in high school.

I'd have a figure 8 race track built and i'd buy a bunch of nice cars, then i would pay homeless people to compete in a derby. winner gets to keep their car.
Most likely a nice car with fantastic gas mileage. I currently drive 118 miles one way to work every day. I drive a c-max and I still fill up 2-4 times a week.
Iโd buy land at my university and build a party mansion that doesnโt require you to be wearing letters to do copious amounts of drugs with strangers
My own personal Gully equiped crossfit gym. Including coaches, meal delivery and a Sauna. Since i like group workouts, all members train for free. I geht to choose who becomes a member, though.
Book a big suite at Disney's Royal Palm Club Level Suite at the Grand Floridian resort (of if they've built a more lavish one there in the past 30 years, there) for a month, then go to Disney each day at a leisurely pace....not having to try to see everything in one day. Maybe just go to the Magic Kingdom and sit and experience it.
Then branch out to the other areas. Have dinner at the Polynesian Village Resort. Go up to Downtown Disney (or whatever they call it now) at night and walk around. Just take it easy.
Years ago I saw an article about a company that would build yacht-style submarines. Basically fully functional subs that could go to something like 1000ft down but were outfitted with fancy staterooms and all the luxuries. When surfaced they look like a yacht.

Iโd buy a beautiful piece of land on the California coastline. I drive by it every week and long for it.
My partner and I would open an organic farm that houses queer teens and young adults that have had rough upbringings and give them trade skills and a friendly place to be themselves.
Weโd live in separate small houses onsite, and spend our days hanging out with the young people we took in, managing the farm, making wood and leather pieces in a workshop, working on weird performance art, and enjoying our other partners.
A private Library. I prefer being in the company of characters with well defined scripts than people. People just suck when you get to know them properly.
A nice home, fit for a family, smack dab in the middle of a large plot of land. No one can develop around my home, because the land belongs to me. Build a Giant perimeter fence so people would have to literately scale to get inside.
In the home, have a gaming den. Very rarely would I leave this Fortress of Solitude.

I'd abandon my entire life, family, friends the whole lot and be on a multi million pound yacht in the Caribbean with a bunch of models in less than 24 hours. Scratch that, you said waste money.
Buying enough food to feed every starving person (or as much as there is) then throw a huge party for only billionaires and give the food out there to the rich.
/s
Really I would just buy a supercomputer and stuff it with RBG and cover it all with gold.
Id buy a comp truck, and a new cbr1000 with new riding gear and a sako trg42 (being in aus thats the gun ive always eanted that i can get on my licence) I have simple tastes but they keep me happy.
Iโll buy a nice house and new furniture cuz my mom likes that, and stuff for all my family members, and then a Nintendo Switch for me, with a bunch of games.
I would spend it all to eliminate governmental corruption. I'd hire tens of thousands of people to work full time to push through a constitutional amendment to reform the campaign finance system.
If there was enough left, I'd do it again in another country, and another, and so on until I ran put of cash or was assassinated. I'd also establish a $50 million contingency fund that would heavily be spent to martyrize my efforts after my assassination. If I survived, I'd live off of the interest from it instead.

I would buy as much land as possible and build an animal sanctuary. I then would adopt all animals that need to be rescued and let them live on my land.
A nice big house with large grounds, complete gym, live-in personal trainer, doctor, chef, masseuse, cleaners, etc. I'd get my life organised.
Then I'd start hiring for my new game studio, and everyone who works for me would also enjoy the services of the above people (just less of it, so they have time to work). I'd drop in to ensure things are on track a couple of times a day and review specs, then go back to figuring out how to live longer.
Then I'd buy several hot, smart wives to help me keep my shit in order and to have awesome kids with. And hookers to assist them with me in bed. The same hookers would work out in the gym when not being utilized, where I'd also often utilize them some more.
So basically what Bill Gates did, except with more wives.
Also I'd get everything else everyone else described here, because billionaires shouldn't have to do their own thinking if they don't want to.
I'd have an engineering firm build me a variety of different airplanes with fully functioning penises, from little Cessna 172s and Diamond DA20s up through two Gulfstream G650s and a single Airbus A380. I'd train to become an aerobatic pilot and also hire a couple of other pilots, so we could make the planes all fuck in mid-air.
Nothing really. I don't see why if I'm already comfortable in life my lifestyle would change. Probably some high end firearms, tons of books, may sole properties at choice locations. Two million for my parents reimbursing them the cost of raising a child.

I would buy all kinds of consoles and games. I love gaming but I have no time to play. I work a lot and my girlfriend is not into gaming at all and since I want to spent my free time with her, we are not gaming.
I tried all my games, and she tested them all, but she didn't liked one of them. I think if I had access to all games I might find one that she likes.
So instead, id buy a self sustained city, then slowly rent it out to yuppies at an absolutely ridiculous premium, but also allow for benefits packages for the poor if they help maintain the small parts that can't run themselves.

After the normal pay bills... I'd open a bakery, buy the property it's on so I don't pay rent for it. Add some offices to the building so the taxes on the property get paid.
Then fix up my house, by the vacant property next door. Fence it all in, put a pond on it, get some more dogs. Maybe start a rescue, have my sister run it. Set up a in house by the pond for her.
Get a financial advisor so I don't spend all and can officially never work again.

My city was bombed thoroughly during WW2 and many of the beautiful old buildings are gone. They replaced them with ugly but cheap buildings. So I'd renovate all the facades to make them look like before the bombings. I also want a sign somewhere that says that I did that.

Buy a helicopter, run an unchartered flight at night through a city and dump about 5000 lbs of gumballs on the city below. Never speak about it again and history books will forever wonder about that night it rained gumballs.
Just pay my debts and get myself a nice little cosy house big enough to fit an office workspace with multiple computers and start my company already.
I'd also go on a eurotour with 2-3 very close friends for like a couple of months and just enjoy everything this continent has to offer, buy loads of stuff to fill my house with too, nothing huge like furniture, but small stuff you can decorate the house with and have as memories too.
After that it's back to work and invest that money smart and try give back to the world in whatever way I can.
A top of the line, everything included Tesla Model X. And I'd also make my kitchen the best kitchen ever.

I'd build an exact replica of the mansion from Resident Evil - the original. Complete with all the correct puzzles.
Then I'd hire actors to play zombies and charge people a fortune to play resident evil for real, armed with paintball guns.
First off I'd buy an island, then have my own decked out laboratory built where I'd hire scientists to make me the best and purest drugs to sample, along with having them genetically engineer a special, personal strain of marijuana for my chronic pain. Of course I'd also get a mansion built with the best "mancave" along with a private airport to shuttle myself to and from wherever, and scientists and other staff from their month-long shifts on the island.
You know, nothing too crazy. Typical guy stuff.
Personal washer just for my balls. Every morning as soon as I get up, 10am, 2pm, 5pm, and right before bed. Any time else between too but that schedule should do the trick for most days.

First thing I'd buy off is my student loans.
Next I'd buy a modest house on a significant piece of property.
Next I'd travel, probably for 2 weeks, either in Europe or Asia.
Other than nice stuff for my home, that'd probably be it. I'd continue to travel as I wished, would stop working, and build a garden in my yard. I'd raise dogs, homebrew, and grow my own pot and that'd be all I need.
I would get my arse tastefully bronzed. And I don't mean a spray tan.
I mean where a fine artist meticulously plasters each butt cheek then, when the mold is set, carefully removes it and then casts it in bronze. Heck, maybe I would go platinum, but I rather like the visual of having it in bronze.
Then you get the whole thing mounted on a small stand and boom! - there's your living room table decoration.
Buying an island house somewhere ridiculously cool and renovating it to be phenomenal. Then getting my pilots license so I can travel to and from with no problem (also getting a plane/helicopter for me to pilot. Not sure which)
I would hire kitchen help...prep cook and cleaning crew and nutrition and meal planning. I would still cook but I would never wash a pot or pan or do dishes ever again...maybe not extravagant...
I would also buy a private jet and Tesla's for myself and all my immediate family members..parents, kids, brothers, sisters. I would set up all the kids with trust funds even the brother I don't speak to children.
Ok...extravagant...maybe set up roller coasters.
Set up a way to set my proginy up with space travel and exploration.
Save elephants and set up shelters for animals.
Buy the homeless meals and shelter. Set them up with medical care.
Set up scholarships for gifted children so they can go to private non-religous school that has an appropriate educational program the scaffolds for children based on their rate of learning and ability. (Public school was a disaster for my 3 gifted kids...private school was out of reach)I know this is redundant
A media network -- the world needs an information source that is about making audiences better-informed instead of manipulating their emotions with fear and sentiment. I realize that this might have to be a non-profit venture, since pretty much everyone who ever said "I wish they would just report the facts" about the news would have no patience at all for infotainment without the entertainment. Yet that's precisely what information is. Having your own major media network is the 21st century equivalent of being someone who buys ink by the barrel. I don't think I'd ever get bored of it.
Either way though, I would set up the organization to reward and promote based on results -- not ratings or ad sales (to the extent we worked with advertisers at all,) but in terms of audience scores on surveys of topical knowledge. The ideas that team would generate and the best of their programming would set positive examples for the rest of the media.
A climbing wall inside my house, including climbing tunnels to get to different floors instead of stairs. And a climbing wall over a swimming pool. And a secret library with reading nooks, only accessible by climbing. And my own massage therapist for after all that climbing. :P
A program for the local homeless population to have hot showers available to them 24/7, homeless people get showers, everyone else enjoys better air quality. Win-win
I'd buy up all the frats and other housing around my co-op, and make them into more alternate housing options. And take over one of them for just my favorite people.
I would build a parking garage near the center of campus. Today's philanthropists want to build science buildings and libraries. Actual students know every campus needs more parking, close to where classes are held.
I want a black Labrador from the Queen of England's kennels. Actually, strike that.

I'd buy a Flakturm in Berlin and make it into my permanent private residence, aka evil mastermind lair. Then I would pay obscene amounts of money to mr. Musk to convert the roof into a landing pad and lease me a rocket for suborbital jumps. because tunnels are boring.
I would spend it on creating a large ocean filter that cleaned up all the garbage. While simultaneously saving all the penguins. Catch is? Penguins are now know. As grape-kin
Just outside the next big city over from where I live, about an hour and a half away, there's a Castle. Several people have owned it over the years, but they all run out of money eventually and sell it. They don't have a billion dollars.

Hire help. For everything. It starts out simple. I don't like cooking. Full time cook who's sole purpose is to cook for me, find out what I like and introduce me to new foods that I will like. I don't like cleaning, so a maid is necessary too.
Then it gets strange. I hate working out. Well I'd hire a guy who would be contractually obligated to make me work out. Not a personal trainer. A guy who basically drags me (by force if necessary) to the gym where my person trainer is at and doesn't let me leave until I complete my workout. I smoke sometimes. I'd hire a guy to make me stop smoking. Just follows me around stopping me from lighting up. (although that would be temporary)
But God damn what I wouldn't give for a fantastic personal chef.
Commission a functional Iron Throne like from Game of Thrones. Book style too, not tv show. And when I say functional, I mean you can sit on it and not die. I wouldn't build a chair out of actual swords now, don't be ridiculous.

Man, you guys are all so lavish and grand. I just imagine paying off credit card bill from last month, buying a decent car (like a souped up 2016 golf r), buy out my apartment so I can just live here forever, and maybe even pay for the wedding that my fiancee is planning.
A fully kitted new Africa Twin to tour the world with, and a deal with a garage so they'll fly me replacement parts anywhere in the world when I need them.
I'd live in an ordinary house, same clothes I wear now, continue to not own a car... but hidden somewhere in my home would be a genuine treasure chest, filled with gold coins and precious gems. I would just get it out sometimes to look at, and otherwise continue with my life as normal.
I would buy a badass Island and two really fast jet skis. One for my cameraman and one for myself. I would then post a full-page ad in every major newspaper stating "new found billionaire looking for soulmate, apply here with credentials." Then start accepting applications for my own Flavor of Love TV show on my baller, billionaire Island.
Then I would secretly buy every company that my best friends work for and fire them immediately. Then Invite them to live on my Island with pay and sweet retirement packages.

You know that cone of meat that they have at gyro places...not that processed crap you can buy in the freezer section...an actual meat cone on a spit sitting in one of those vertical heaters. Access is in the front where you can shave slivers of meat from. You know what I'm talking about.
I'd have one of those installed (and maintained daily by a responsible party...i'm not an animal, people) in my kitchen so I could shave off some fresh gyro meat whenever I wanted it.
A yacht to keep on the Cรดte d'Azur, so I could shuffle around on its deck in nothing but a gold lamรฉ Speedo and sip a Kir Royale while topless women sunbathe on the deck.
First I would hire a composer to write me a really kick ass theme song, and then I'd hire some musicians to follow me around everywhere playing my theme song.
I would pay off all the debt for every member of my family that has been there for me through the lowest points of my life. Most of my family is poor, not even middle class, and yet so many of them have done everything thing could when something horrible has happened to me regardless if it put them in financial difficultly. I would pay off all their debt and mortgages, and then I would probably buy each of them a new car so I don't have to worry about it breaking down on them.
For myself, I would probably add solar to my house, get a one or two cars I've always wanted, and put the rest into savings for my kids college tuition.
Actually the most lavish thing I would probably do is quit my job, I would put all the money into a trust or something similar and just live off the interest the rest of my life.
Iโd get 10 of the hottest escorts money can buy and buy a house boat and spend 3 weeks on Lake Powell, drinking and smoking and fucking and jet skiing my brains out
Iโd buy out my neighbors, have the homes either torn down or renovated, as well as having mine renovated. Then have a large fence built around the properties to complete my compound. Move my parents and a couple of friends in.
And Iโd buy a new car... because I need a new car.

Buy a new Hyundai Elantra and convert into a sports car and challenge ppl at traffic lights to drag race, or get an old mini and convert it into a monster truck, or build a camper van that transforms into a tent!
Rotating roster of very highly rated chefs. I'd have to include meals with all staff just to keep up to the deliciousness being produced, but my small town's 'meals on wheels' service would be the best on earth.
I'd buy the beachplace I used to bartend at as a teen. And bring great suffering to the money-grubbing, exploitative owners. I don't quite know how the great suffering will work with me giving them a bunch of money and profit, but I'd find a way.
Don't know if it's extravagant, but I'd try and find my dad's old Rolls Silver Shadow and restore it for his birthday. It still has its old registrationplate but hasn't been, can't come up with the correct word, it hasn't been to the "Annual checkup" for almost ten years, but it's not yet scrapped ๐ค
A massive team of lawyers to help defend me against the inevitable criminal, civil, and Tax charges that would arise from suddenly going from a 4 to a 10 figure bank account with no paperwork to demonstrate how it got there.
Billionaire? Probably a full motion flight simulator. Big fan of flying, but not really a travel guy. So I'd put a full motion flight simulator like the airlines use to train pilots in my mansion.
Have maybe 1000 marble statues of Dickbutt made (I'm thinking about 15 feet tall, including the marble plinth) and have each plinth engraved with "Our lord and saviour".
After that, I would take them to remote locations and bury them for future archeologists to find and after more are uncovered they would begin thinking that it was some sort of ancient religion. I would likely never see the payoff from this but it would be entirely worth it just to confuse the fuck out of archeologists in 2,500 years.
Buy an empty shopping mall and live in one of the stores. I'd set up a few other stores as residences for family/friends. Then I would fulfill one of my long time fantasies: Ride a bike and skateboard through a mall without getting hassled.

Nothing much. Just getting a server rack and set up four pcs and a server and nas, plus get an apartment big enough so I have at least one Cinema/Music room (sound isolated), My computer room with setups for four pcs with one ultrawide screen and 3 normal wide above it, a nostalgia room with books, nostalgic furniture, old consoles and so on, and of course a vr room, with Vive and a flatscreen on the wall and a couch for that VR together experience. And then a couple of bedrooms, all of them with their own king size bed, projector and sound system, with of course sound isolation.
I'd buy out one of those games with loot boxes for the express purpose of relaunching it without loot boxes. Major rework, make it super consumer friendly. Mostly so that every game that came after it and had loot boxes got a ton of unfavorable comparison.
I'd make a skyrim experience, full on replica of the major cities, a horse and cart to travel on in between. Paid NPCs who respond to thu'um etc

I would hire someone, 1 million dollars a year. To make sure I never have to open a public door and to hold my wallet and car keys. Only doors I would open are when I want privacy. I would do that right away.
I would buy a abandoned high-rise in Detroit area and turn it into a world class orphanage where kids from as early as infancy to adult will be raised and educated. There would be only one catch, they have to promise to never have kids of their own and at 18 must be willing to get fixed to matter the sex. This way they can adopt a child if they need one.
I would like to set up a similar operation for animals.
Others can keep the cars and fancy things. Id rather go to sleep comfortably at night.
Box seats to my favorite teams, Champions league, SB, World Series, World Cup, NBA and Stanley cup finals tickets for life. Essentially I'd a retire to a life of watching all my teams and major sports forever.
I'd adopt all the doggies and kitties from the shelter, hire some caretakers to make sure they are well taken care of, and then just play with them all day.

A yacht style airship. Like Mega-yacht not just regular yacht . I would get one bedroom at the stern or bow built entirely of acrylic or glass so I can sleep surrounded by clouds. The envelope would have a freaking golf course in it it would be so big.
Definitely start some kind of super villian league, with me in charge. Then I'd direct them to take out all the asshole celebrities (and politicians, wink wink) who drive me crazy.

Mike Gong Acid Eater glass pendant. I actually already had to promise my wife I wouldn't buy one unless we won the lottery.
I'd probably outright buy a mid-sized house with a decent yard so my dogs can have time to just chill outside (although I've played this game before, I know they're only happy if I'm also chilling outside with them D:)

Someone already said their student loans, but on top of that, I'd pay off my boyfriends student loans, my boyfriend and I's house, my mom's house, buy my dad and stepmom a one level (she just had a stroke and can't do stairs), and I'd pay off my aunt's house as well.
I'd also clear out everyone's credit card debt, then I'd put the remaining in a trust and live off the residual.
Paying off everyone's stuff would probably only be a couple million, so the residual on the rest would be a good amount!
Honestly? I'd totally keep working. Sitting home on my ass isn't my style.
Oh! I may travel a bit. I've always wanted to visit Pompeii, I'd love to see the Pyramids, I'd got to Israel again, I'd go see Japan in the fall, China in the spring, I'd do that knitting tour of the British Isles I've been looking at. I'd visit the Taj Mahal, go so many places!
This probably sounds boring compared to the more outlandish things people are saying, but I honestly just want a decent life without debt hanging over me.
If we're talking lavish? I'd probably splurge on a couple sports cars simply because I love muscle cars, but even then, that's less than $1mil total even if I get a couple.
Build a small home outside the city on a big piece of land. Travel and recieve the best health care available. Buy homes for friends and family who don't own. Pay off mortgages for those that do. Trust funds for my kids only accessible after competing university. Invest in real estate. Donate, donate, donate.
I would buy the local shelter so they could own the building and renovate the whole thing. It's a rundown farm they are renting and they deserve better. All the volunteers do their best but their funds are so limited!

A new laptop and phone I suppose, would be nice to have a better computer to play games with friends (looking at you modded Minecraft with your high requirements). And phone because mine has slowed down over the past three years.

A full time live in tailor. Nothing better than having perfectly fitting clothes all the time. Plus I am sure they could make you some custom clothes if you wanted it.
I'd pay protesters to stage demonstrations for political causes. But I'd do it in such a way that no one would ever come forward with proof that I was doing it.
Find a big event. Say superbowl, nba finals, etc etc. The kind of event celebrities and rich people generally are the only ones that can afford front row seating. Id buy up the whole first few rows, and give the tickets to people I thought deserved it.

I know I'm late but I gotta say it since I've thought about it. I'd build a neighborhood of probably 5 houses somewhere far away in like a desert or whatever. Then I'd find and hire a shit ton of people to have a giant party like something outa the hangover. I'd keep supplying the place with alcohol and new people so that the party would go on as long as possible letting the whole place get destroyed. Once I felt the time was right, I'd end it and bring in a team to help me document what happened. This team would be made up of the world's greatest detectives and a bunch a nerds. I'd then figure out how to publish the whole thing. Maybe make a documentary idk. After that I'd just lease the place out to movie studios if they needed some sort of abandoned neighborhood in the middle of the desert. After 10 years of that, I'd burn it.

A large house with staff. Having the day to day upkeep and chores taken care of would be the most immediate and noticeable change I could make (aside from retiring, I suppose).
I'd have a college football bowl named after me. Instead of the Orange Bowl, it'd be the DudeFalcone Bowl. I just think that'd be pretty smooth to have.

Buy a massive warehouse. Build high end lofts and appartments inside of them, like buildings inside of the building. Massive skylights along the avenues with hanging gardens. Some restaurants, a supermarket, coffeeshops and a bar inside aswell that are in a section open to the general public. Some basic office space for rent, hoping to attract some businesses.
A basic security force to keep the general public away from the living space.
A grass field inside for a park underneath a massive skydome.
Basically a lavish gated community inside of an old warehouse. If it turns out to be financially sound, plan to build more of these.
I would get a personal trainer and a great gym installed, then I'd get myself nice and strong and fit and then spend loads of time and money on extreme sports in beautiful parts of the world, and have state of the art drones film everything so i can re-live those experiences again, and again again, once I'm too old / battered to continue.

depending on how many billions I have (let's assume just one), I'd just throw it into a bunch of income generating assets (bonds, real estate, you name it) and just live off the income.
Then I'd spend a few months travelling, flying first class of course, but otherwise trying to not look super rich. I would want to look like your everyday tourist, albeit staying in a nice-ish hotel and just seeing the world during my days.
When I come back, I'd buy a plot of land somewhere that's semi-rural but not too rural, and build a small house for myself on that land (I don't like the idea of a massive mansion, plus I can't have kids so I wouldn't need that much space), and take up cool hobbies like guns, aviation and stuff like that
I would buy a house that has a laundry room of fifteen feet by fifteen feet. Stain-proof ceramic tile from floor to ceiling. I'm a man who likes to do his own laundry, and sometimes, it gets messy.
Steel chains will dangle from the ceiling at a height of nine feet, and that is where my... laundry bags will hang, for three days and three nights, before I... clean them.
One final concern: Soundproofing. I tend to make a lot of...racket...when I "launder." I'll show you what I mean. I'm going to go to my laundry room, and you tell me if you can hear me.
Full year off for my closest fishing buddies. We'd go on a year long round the world fishing trips hitting all the best spots. All expenses, gear, salary for the year paid.
Totally gutting and revamping the same house I live in now, complete with landscaping and lap pool, indoor and outdoor hot tub, pool room, zip line and 9 hole put put golf course in yard. Oh, and a boob job!

I wouldn't spend a dollar, are you kidding me? If I spend a dollar then I'm not a billionaire anymore!
I'd buy a cow, a pig, a goose, a turkey, a duck, a chicken, and a cornish game hen (all dead already) and a hot smoker big enough to fit the cow. Then stuff the chicken with the hen, the duck with the chicken, the turkey with the duck, the goose with the turkey, the pig with the goose, and the cow with the pig. It may not taste the greatest, but it would go down in history as the most ridiculous food ever made.
SpaceX has signed on two lunar flyby space tourists. Iโd pay to be the third lunar tourist.
Iโd also set aside a hundred million for sensible things like paying for college loans for me and my sister and my girlfriend. And buying a house, and a car. That sort of thing.
I'd build a modern climate controlled barn with automatic feeders and waterers for livestock, with all functions controllable through my phone so I can check on my animals while I'm at my day job.
An entire mansion could live in by myself while I'm studying, with a personal spa and a bunch of other things I don't need. All the peace and quiet I could ever want, with no one else disturbing me.

I've been struggling the past year of Uni terribly and suffering pretty bad mental health, nearly exclusively due to lack of money! Honestly...I'd just pay my way out my overdraft and get a Nintendo Switch since I've wanted one since Zelda: Breath of the Wild was released. Probably pay back all the family members who have sent me a few quid here and there and buy my girlfriend some flowers since she's had to put up with me being miserable for a year.
I would hire a Dog wanker. My dog spends an inordinate amount of time trying to pleasure himself, I thought I would make it easier for him. Also, I would make the person wear a uniform with the words "Dog Wanker" on the back of it like the FBI have.
Research labs in subjects I'm fan of.
One lab radiates the shit out of rats as they are blasted with gamma lasers to create 3D holographic images of their brains in an attempt to perfect the process as a possible method for minduploading.
Another uses existing mind-maps to recreate them in an ANN using the latest tech to create an artificial brain that can work at real-time speeds.
And another that builds some kind of self-sufficient city where citizenship comes with a contract where you're actually employed by the city to help maintain and enhance it.
In return you, well, you can stay a citizen and have a house and have food.
Details to be decided.
I would buy a little house on the beach in Mexico and tell my affair partner that she has nothing to worry about anymore. If she chooses to come with me, we would spend the rest of our lives there, helping the less fortunate, doing good for others, finally being happy. If she decided to stay, I would probably spend the next few months drinking myself into a stupor, doing nothing with my life, and end up dead laying beside some hooker.

An upscale apartment in New York City. I should have a little money left over.
I hate to sound boring but a home. Nothing fancy just a cottage like home with 2 bedrooms (1 for me and 1 spare) an open kitchen/dining/living area, floorboards and then I'd have enough yard for a chicken coop, a few garden beds, a water tank and enough room for a pet dog to run around. I'd also put proper fencing around, have an enclosed carport and put solar panels on the roof.

Honestly? Id like to just build that house Ive wanted out in the middle of nowhere for awhile. Just big enough, nothing too crazy but I really did want to get into some minor prepping. Solar array, water source food storage etc. I also love to shoot so a shooting range/archery range on my property would be great. Ive had this dream of owning enough property that I could build this awesome cozy cabin in the woods maybe like a mile behind my house so if I ever wanted to bug out and be alone for awhile I could just go there.
Talking like this does make me grateful for what I have though.
For a home, I'd live in a mock spaceport containing life-size replicas of several science fiction space crafts including the Millennium Falcon, the Liberator, and Serenity.

I would like to travel East Asia without having to worry about keeping my job back home or leaving things behind. I want to see places like Japan, China, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, etc. all in person. I think I could probably achieve that someday even without a lot of money, but being a billionaire would make it a lot easier and stress free. BTW I live in America.
Buy a rocket, one of those real ones that go to the moon and such, stuff it with as much fireworks as possible and then shoot it into space. Then hopefully all the fireworks will explode and create a massive firework show in space.

Growing up, there was an expensive table top game called Warhammer 40k, that I fantasuzed about playing but couldn't really afford. I'd buy the company, lower prices, and find ways to cut down on costs even more so than now. Then make it cheap so lil 12 year old nerds out there can enjoy some quality warhammer.
I'd then proceed to commision my own people a 40,000 point army, and make them all ultranoobs. (Points = value of units, aka a space marine is typically around 12, so 40k/12 = a lot). Then spend the next decade painting them
As a gay man with chronic health conditions, the Republican party is an engine designed to kill me. I would spend approximately 900 million dollars in the 2018 and 2020 elections to defeat every Republican candidate.
This isnโt extravagantly lavish, but it was the first thing that came to mind. I would go get a car that FINALLY has no check engine light on. Ahhh that would be nice.
My answer is probably the most boring out of everybody's, except for maybe the WinRAR guys, but I would start a foundation to help families who have children on the autism spectrum afford things like rent and food and all the crap that you have to let slide because therapies are so expensive.
Of course you got to pay for therapy too, so of course we'll cover that.
On a personal note, I would give the Doctor Who Restoration Team a fat wad of cash to allow them to animate all the missing episodes. I would also like to be in a legitimate Godzilla movie.

I'd throw money at the world's most prominent artist until they painted my living room.
Not a mural, just a coat of primer and two coats of white.

Lastly id build a small house off the grid in the mountains a la Mike Basich so my husky and I could go snowboarding and play in the snow and enjoy the silence.
Id consider starting up my haunt project Ive been working on for 10 years, but its a big investment.
I would buy the Sixers if i could and then just hangout in the facility all the time working out, playing basketball against all the injured players making myself feel good
I'd go on one of those fancy cruises telemarketers keep trying to sell me. I love the idea of just being able to go and eat that awesome food any time I want without having to worry about paying.
A medium sized animation studio, I'd hire a couple of american artists, and voice actors, I would then have them make an adult animation action show complete with gore and violence, of course featuring myself as a character.

I would make my childhood dream come true and I would make the creator of Dragon Ball/z/super create a badass character based after me in Dragon ball Super
Set up college funding accounts for my life, nephews, nieces, and cousins.
Purchase a plot of land and build a big ass, state of the at home for me and the family, with enough acreage for my kids to build their own places. Close enough for family, but far enough away for privacy.
Figure out a way to purchase a partial interest in Disney.
It maybe not be extravagant but I'd go and buy back my family home. Straight up offer the owners double what they paid and give them 30 days to vacate. I'll even cover their moving costs. I grew up in the Bay Area and my homes value quadrupled and my old man took the money and got the hell out of California with damn near a million dollars. Cant blame him but damn I loved that house.

XH558. I'd restore it to flying condition again, and have it converted into my personal transport. I'd then use it to fly to my mansion/observatory in the Falklands, making sure I stopped off at Buenos Aires for a 'refuelling stop' each time.
I would rent out an entire water park for a day and invite the homies. I donโt even smoke weed anymore but you better believe Iโd be smoking a joint on the lazy river. Shit.
I'd pay off all my debt. Then I'd keep working. I'd work like normal, 80% effort, sham out of most work, low tolerance for stupidity...if/when I get fired, I'd buy the company and fire the guy firing me.
Basically play undercover boss. Stupid customer goes to complain to my unwitting supervisor and then they (customer and supervisor) find out I own the company. Laugh at their reaction. Rinse and repeat for a different company.
Probably buy a decommissioned missile silo. And the land. And mineral rights and air rights and all that. Put a tiny house on top so anyone that goes buy just thinks I live in a tiny house.
A plane. OH and a Bell 47 helicopter. The model with a jet turbine engine. Fly too and from work. Be a pizza delivery guy or an uber driver with a helicopter.
Pokรฉmon cards. I love them so much. I donโt have anyone IRL to play with so I just play online, but I still want a full collection of cards. Always have.
I want a nice, in-ground pool. Heated in the winter and enclosed in a little glass place, so I could use it year round and not have to deal with bugs/winter. If I had billions, I could probably afford to have some take care of it too.
Probably just buy a nice computer upgrade, a Nintendo Switch, pay off my debts, my fiance's debts, pay a couple years ahead on bills and the new house's rent and electric, and buy our families a house each then put the rest in savings and live off the interest and have my dream of a little hobby farm with some goats and chickens.
Christmas would be great this year, just give everybody a grand and let them do their own shopping - you'd have enough money at that point that it'd be like giving everyone a one dollar bill, but life changing for those receiving
Buy my parent's neighbour's houses. There's one guy who when asked if the cable internet guy could access his backyard to do some repair work for our Internet/phone connection, and he just bellowed like an old bull "No! It's my yard, and I'm a fucking lawyer." (You do know everyone in the area uses that connection to access the Internet, dumbass? Right?)
My other neighbour is a busy body who is the unofficial "neighbourhood" watch. Anything that happens in my yard/house, and it turns into a "Hey, you made a change." And she always brings up that she's a single mother to try to get you have a fucking sob story. No, your damn kids are teens now.
I would buy a shit ton of land somewhere in the north east, and build the equestrian facility of my dreams. Heated indoor arenas, hot and cold water, large luxurious stalls, etc
I'm honestly not sure. Probably just go travelling and live it up while I do so.
On a related note, my Uncle told us years ago that if he ever won the lottery his first purchase would be enough socks so he has a new pair every day of the year.

Forget lavished and extravagant, I'm paying off my student loans just to live.
Id buy the worlds most decked out RV and travel around the US. Like this muhfucka would be a double damn decker. But the whole upper deck would be mattress, because I wouldn't want it to be too tall because of clearance issues. But yeah it could sleep like 20 people easily. It would have a super nice bathroom, a regular bedroom, a living room with a giant couch and giant tv, and a sweet fuckin kitchen. I'd hire a driver too, but he would either have to be like really chill and funny or just like a quiet old guy who didn't like to talk much.
A new garage. The slab on our current has cracked and settled making one side of the garage lower than the other. The door is still able to function but only just barely.
Since the garage would likely have to be completely torn down to properly fix it, I might as well have the utility companies come and disconnect their stuff so we can dig up the backyard, get rid of the inexplicable 6 inch thick layer of gravel that is buried about a foot down, underneath the black dirt and then clay layers. Since we're doing earthworks I might as well have them dig up the foundation along the back of the house and repair and seal the crack in the basement too. As long as the equipment is there they should probably re-run the front sewer at the proper depth so it's not sticking up out of the front yard either. Replace all the garbage clay fill they used to cover it up with black dirt so the grass will grow again. Regrade the backyard so it drains properly. Tear out the dying maple tree and replace it with something that won't get black tar spot disease. Get rid of the shed that is literally rotting to pieces and replace it with a nicer shed/greenhouse combo. Extend the garage a bit while we're rebuilding it so that we can fit a car in there again. Hell, might as well extend the basement and the house too. Just cut the crack out of the foundation wall and extend it there.
I guess, what I'm saying is, shit's broke and expensive as fuck to fix it.
A powerful server with tons of dedicated compute gpus! Why? So I can dick around with protein folding and neural networks but not actually contribute to humanity with said computer power. Maybe I'll set up a neural network to generate bespoke power metal for me to listen too, maybe not.
A giant colossus/palace/lair in the middle of the Pacific, straddling over Polynesia. It's body made of marble-faced reinforced blast-proof concrete, clothed with gold and bejeweled with jades and rubies. Inside its head shall be my home, under its feet shall be my lair to conduct my lavishly secret work.
Probably buy, or build, a house with a basement or 2, turn one room into a costume room, one into a dungeon, maybe have a workshop and then get started with cosplay. Also make a robot to fight on Robot Wars, make it out of as much experimental materials and designs as possible.
Really, I would build a house on the family property in the country (40 acres) and travel all over the world. Of course I would splurge on a few toys, but nothing that is terribly out of reach right now.
Food. I would travel to try out all kinds of crazy awesome food. I spend hours watching those foreign food youtube videos and I can't even imagine what flavors most of that stuff is. I'd really like to do a tour and try it all.

Buy a controlling interest across the men's fashion industry and leverage my influence to introduce some lighter and more loose-fitting formalwear into the mainstream. I'm thinking an imperial courtier's silk robes from the final days of Qing China or Tokugawa Japan.
A fully kitted CNC and engineering workshop... It's lavish to me at least

That crazy penthouse flat in NYC and a flat from this apartment block in the town I live in now, as well as five Audi RS3's all in different colours so I can drive around with my mates when they come over. No need for cars in NYC so I'd just build a bunch of really sexy bikes, say maybe five fixies and five singlespeeds all with top spec stuff like Chris King and Thompson.
I'm not one for extravagance, so I'd probably gather my closest friends, pay off their debts, and buy them some things they really need so they can can get a nice jump start to living their lives without the burden of debt and bad decisions weighing on them.
It sounds clichรฉ and maybe cheesy, but I have always lived relatively simply, mostly out of necessity, but can't even imagine wanting to spend a fortune on anything extravagant.

I read the comments only to realize I am an extremely boring person and the things I would buy are things I 'could' afford now, but choose not to because other things are more important.

I would expand and rebuild my Jr. college. I would make it a center for education in industrial crafts; welding, carpentry, machinery, heavy Equipment repair, electric motor control, building ACHA, culinary arts, fine arts and pottery and print making, and I would make everyone take courses in the history of labor and the labor movement. I would make everyone take a course in logic and rhetoric. I would have a annual lecture series on labor in the modern era so students would be able to see and judge what is best for the working class.
Iโd buy my friends extremely high quantities of inexpensive, unnecessary items like paper clips.
Iโd love to see one of their faces when โฌ10m worth of paper clips arrive on their doorstep, filling the street with shiny little flecks of disappointment.
Reddit karma. I'd pay people a buck a piece for upvotes, but only on things that are not in any way worth an upvote. People would get confused and start to think that worthless content suddenly has value, therefore completely devaluing anything of real value. It would finally turn the "internet points" system on it's head and Reddit would slowly dissolve in BuzzFeed

I would start planning a trip around the world then and there. Planning? I could just wing it! No need for tight budgets this time around. Business seats here I come!
A floor length portrait of myself in full military regalia, wrought iron frame with a Sauron esque aesthetic. Then a throne set up in front of said picture with two human skulls on the arm rests. Of course Iโll painstakingly source the skulls and take my pic.
Okay work with me here because if you don't know much about Resident Evil then this won't make sense to you. I would get a hold of the Resident Evil 1.5 builds that are out there and hire a team of people and give them 18 months to finish the game. That includes cleaning up the bugs, making the missing backgrounds, recreating known backgrounds that are missing, and piecing it all together.
In the end all of the tools and a fully playable build of 1.5 would be released. The devs would get paid but everything would be free. After that I'd probably keep the devs on as a indie studio to do whatever the hell they wanted.
This would be my dream because growing up RE1.5 was kind of a minor obsession and now there is builds of it leaked on the internet but they're far from complete and there is progress from some teams on doing what I said above but I'd really love to see a RE1.5 release that mirrored the quality of RE1. I got a small taste of what this felt like when I helped fund the release of RE1 for the GBC a few years ago.

I would make a restaurant that would catter to my tastes, all the dishes would be my favorites done the way i like it, and of course it would have a private room for me, and my deliveries would be priority.
First I'd take care of my family. Pay off my grandparents' house, get my mom and older brother houses, make sure they both have good cars. Maybe move my mom close to step two. Get my grandma a small dog and take her huge dog with me. And the cat, because why not.
Step two is have a house built with a bunch of secret passages and shit. Not too big (don't want to waste all my money here) but big enough that I could theoretically get around without ever going into the open spaces.
Step three is dogs. Like 3 or 4 more dogs. I'm already taking my Grandma's dog, and I want to be able to give them the attention they deserve. One more cat too, because Maine Coons.
Step four, go to college for the heck of it. I have time and money for it now. Also therapy. Gonna deal with my anxiety.
Step five is to live like I'm not a billionaire. Aside from everything listed above, buy cheap things. Used car, old furniture (because dogs), shop at thrift.

The village my grandmother comes from is tiny and the house we own is so old the walls are literally made from stones and parts of the ceilings are still cane. Underneath the house, thereโs a whole other floor carved into the hillside including a room with an large mill great grandparents used to make olive oil. We only ever visit a couple of weeks every few years but I would restore the whole thing top to bottom, in a heartbeat if I had the money.
The most balls to the fuckin wall nerd den u can possibly imagine. $5,000 pc, multi console couch gaming setup with 100+ in. tv, a nice sturdy table for board games and D&D (with all solid gold dice of course), and an unhealthy amount of posters, statues, and other collectibles from any and all of my favorite games (Iโm lookin at you overwatch statues). Line the walls in vantablack, then add some Red LEDs inspired by SIVA from destiny, add a fridge for all of my orange Gatorade and frozen bagebites, and a microwave and Iโd probably never leave.
Or I could by an island... that could be cool I guess...

A college education. It's becoming increasingly expensive and more more useless. Here's a hint, if your college has safe spaces it probably isn't tolerant of opposing ideas.
The whole top of the mountain that my fiancรฉ grew up on. Build a sweet house. Fix my parents financial problems along with my own. Have a kickass wedding reception(eloping and just having a reception with friends and family). And a 2017 RAV4... became a mom this year. Lol

I would buy a huge chunk of land out in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains and run gigabit fibre out there. I might even build a house.
I would also buy a box (or 10) of Unlimited Edition Magic the Gathering cards and have free drafts for all my friends.
edit: in all seriousness. id pay off my student loans then give ยฃ2mil each to my mother my sister and my brother. then i have 3 close friends id give ยฃ1mil to. and i have a few other friends id give half a mil each to.
the rest id spend on buying property, doing it up and renting it out. i have a mental blueprint for 3 blocks of flats that i would rent out as student accomodation. if i could id buy up the entirety of Ormskirk.
I have a list.
1. I would buy a local school so I could have the bell tower removed brick by brick and put on top of my house. It would have fully functioning bells every hour to annoy my neighbours.
Buy one of those roadwork machines that bounce to pat fresh tarmac down. When my bell tower went off at 6am I would get up, eat my Ferrero Roche and Baileys breakfast and use it to make sure my neighbours were all awake.
A trampet to be carried by a friend in my employment who loves big boobs. Then whenever I saw a girl with big boobies I could pay to have her jump on it for my entertainment.
The list goes on...

Start a company that loses money for the sweet deductions whose sole purpose is to solve problems through technology that people aren't throwing money at. I'd hire engineers fresh out of college and let them run free with little restrictions on what the invent. The things invented will be patented and given out free to the world.
Iโd convert the US to metric and the rest of the world back to imperial units. Then Iโd donate all the rest to โSki Boots for Orphansโ so the less fortunate can finally afford that weekend at Vail.
hire some people to build a production room, a recording studio, a band rehearsal studio and a gym in a new big but modest house. fit it all out w/ good gear and make it real comfortable for me to live in. buy a whole bunch of new clothes. buy a good car, preferably a white amg gt. go travelling around the world w/ the missus. hit all the major music festivals. buy all the albums i've pirated. make life much better for my family & friends. buy enough gems to completely max a clash of clans acc
then i'd hire a financial planner and lawyer to determine what else to do with the money after i've done the essentials first (paid off mortgage, car, other debts)
I'd hire a chef, nutritionist, and personal trainer to make me drop the weight I have and build some muscle back.
My will power is weak, so why not pay people to force me into fitness lol. I'd also get private tennis lessons and also build an indoor tennis arena in town for the local club I'm a part of--I'm in Canada and there is nothing to play year round in here.
I'd finally be able to foil out my standard magic deck.

Later on I would buy as many companies as I can and make sure half of it gets employed by homeless people. The most beneficial companies will have to donate to the animal shelters and build more centers for the homeless.

I think it would take me a hot second to warm up to the idea of spending so extravagantly, so to start I would just hire someone to buy my dogs new costumes every day. They'd be dressed up all year round.
I'd buy the empty house across the street and turn it into a no-kill cat shelter. Which means I would also need to buy vets, vet techs, lots of catnip and my city since this street is zoned residential only.

Well, assuming I have Bill Gates levels of cash flow, I would start by buying out Adobe Systems. I'd low ball them for $15 billion. Then I would change their creative suite apps business model back to pay once. I don't care if that hurts the company, I still will then sell them for a profit to Apple or something.
I would rent out an arena or concert hall. Pay a bunch of artists I like to come play for a 2 day concert for my friends and family. Have like 100 people audience for eminem and dre, foo fighters and whoever else i could get to come.
A stupidly large car collection. Some cars I want just to know what it's like to have/drive. Even somewhat mundane cars, especially for a millionaire. Probably have someone build super fast sleepers for me too. Like a boosted Caravan or a Smart with a Hayabusa. My garage would probably rival the size of my house.
Same thing as if I never become a billionaire. A few acres near a nice city, with a big barn in the middle, surrounded by Earthships, one for me and one for each of my kids and their families. It's going to happen someday, and I won't need a billion dollars to make my dream come true. Money is over rated.
I'd throw myself a birthday party and make my entrance on an elephant. I'd have a bevy of attractive men catering to my every need(think like feeding me grapes and whatnot). Daft Punk and the Flaming Lips would perform. The buffet would include pre-rolled joints and edibles. This party would probably last the entire weekend.

I would buy a large piece of land or island and develop it so that it would mimic the world map from the first Zelda on NES. I would make each dungeon an obstacle course where you would need to find a key item in order to go on to the next (like the game) and the the final boss (Ganon) would be an archery course where you would have to use a bow and arrow to hit him 5 times to win. I would open this up as a type of amusement park to the public in order to make back the money I spent on creating it.
And if Nintendo were to sue me for copyright infringement, I would just buy them out.
I want a chef for every favorite food of mine. Example, one would cook tacos, the other would be fantastic at spaghetti, ect. No one chef is good at everything, so...
Ive been in the same fantasy football league as my best buds from college for over 7 years now.
We've joked about getting the league to go in and buy a beach house so we can get the 12 of us together at the end of summer for a destination draft, so itd need at least 12 bedrooms, which is pretty extravagant. (So the beach house is exhibit 1A)
Now, since we went through undergrad together, we've got an inordinately large number of stories that go from absurd to absurdly illegal to dangerously absurd AND illegal. When some of us get together we'll talk about the beach house but the last year or so the idea has been coming up to get some of those stories woven into these medieval style story-telling tapestries to decorate our beach house.
so, beach house for my fantasy football league, decorated with custom tapestries that tell some of our friend groups adventures and misadventures throughout college.

I would buy a normal house in my area with a ground level master bedroom. Then I would dig about ten feet into the floor and replace the floor with an aquarium. That way whenever I look down all I see is water and fish.

And exactly how much southeast Asian child slave labor will you go through to live that "life of luxury"? You disgust me. I used to look up to you. I used to 'agree' with you. U/tyrer, you let me down in a big way. You let us all down.
A bathhouse, with a huge bubble bath room and a personal team of spa technicians and massage therapists. Comfy flannel jammies, 5 star dinner served to me on my couch where I have someone feed me while I play video games.
I'm into fitness too though so my mornings would be all tennis and yoga, maybe some kickboxing.
My wardrobe, probably. I've spent my whole life in thrift store, hand-me-down, giveaway clothes. If they're new, they came from the dollar store, the seconds store, or the clearance racks.
So I'd probably buy two of most of Modcloth's stuff, drop a pretty penny in tailoring it, and continue on from there. I'd love to have a style beyond "it fits".
I would use a good amount to update my family's farm. No has lived there full time since my grandpa died, but I'd love to see the barns updated, maybe bring back some animals, but new tractors... I'd turn a lot of barns into guest houses. ๐ค
A king sized tempurpedic mattress and high quality memory foam pillows, with a beautiful dark oak bedframe and 10 sets of 1000 thread count egyptian cotton sheets. If I'm now retired, I might as well treat myself to a nice bed.
A literal golden private jet; i donโt care if it could never fly because of FAA regulations, and it wouldnโt be solid gold, but I want a damn gold jet with a plush interior, gemstone light covers, and a tasteful mosaic on the inside.
I would buy as many properties in a town as possible, as an experiment. I would just keep buying and buying and buying and see how many properties I could buy before anyone important noticed.
I wager in the UK you could buy a small town without anyone noticing, through shell companies and subsidiaries, cash buyers etc, transfer of deeds.
I would also buy a ridiculously small football club and pump hundreds of millions into it and transform the club and local area, just for fun.
Additionally, I would build a University which teaches the art of brewing/distilling and fermenting, with some industry leading brewers as professors. It shall be known as Brewversity, or BruSchool or something to that effect. There will be slightly curmudgeonly butlers who discourage unruly behaviour but secretly help to organise parties.
I'm abit of a humble guy, all I want in this life is a house to raise my childern in when I have them with my wife. Also a woodworking shop in the garage. After that I would start looking to where the rest of this cash could go to help others less fortunate. I would certainly setup my dream foundation for impoverished kids in England to go when the school holidays are around so they still get a square meal a day and have somewhere safe to hang out with friends.

So I'm riding into work with my husband and I asked him this question. He very sweetly said "My wife". Of course I aww'd. Ten seconds later he continued, "so she'd be distracted when I spent all the real money on hookers". Of course, I burst out laughing.
It wouldn't be one thing, I'd probably buy all of the guitars I've ever seriously considered buying in my life, and I'd find somewhere to buy and build the sweetest rehearsal space known to man. With one of those Marshall half stack fridges. Oh yeah and a bunch of amps. And pedals.
I would set up a few million in a trust for my two young childrens education. They are the reason I wake up in the morning and locking in their future would be the greatest thing ever.
I would buy a handful of Kia cars, and everyonce in a while I would follow my wife to the store, and tow her luxury automobile, and replace it with a kia.
I'd have all staff from the Philippines Bureau of Immigration, Philippine National Police & National Bureau of Investigation executed for corruption.
Then I'd move on to the politicians, but torture them to death instead of simple executions.
Finally, secretly fund a new political party to take over, giving me complete control over the country. Then I'd rule as a benevolent but foreign dictator (well except for all the murders) for life.
Thereโs a small ski mountain that I used to go to in Vermont called Magic Mountain. Iโd buy it, install new snowmakers, and build a house at the top. Iโd then close the mountain to the public and just have my own private ski resort for me and my family.

Pay off my student loans and invest it so I can live off the passive income while still working.
I just finished reading Isaac Asimov's original Foundation trilogy. I'd drop money on brining it to either an HBO series or movie series. I need everyone to experience it.
I'd buy an unnecessarily large mansion with 20,000+ square feet, hire a small army of staff to keep the place clean and running, give it some cheesy name like Stoneridge Estate, and then spend almost no time there. The sole purpose of the house would be to throw lavish parties and impress people I don't care about. My other residences would be more manageable cozy homes with less than 4000sqf because screw having to go on a hike every time I need to use the bathroom or get something from my bedroom. Also being alone in a random giant house is depressing.
I would most definitely be buying a medium-large home in the suburbs into my estate.
I've a huge movie guy, and I've always wanted a crazy home theater setup. I'd go all out on a high quality projector, multi-tiered comfy ass seating, food/drink bar, and sound system. Probably buy as many movies as possible on blue-ray. I'd also get a 4K TV for my bedroom.
I'd be able to shop at Whole Foods for starters. Then I'd try out all those brands of food you never see anywhere else. You know, the ones you've always been curious to know how they taste but being broke or skeptical kept you from trying them.
Around the world I would build dungeons with dangerous platforms, puzzles and have a crack team of scientists engineer a bunch of monsters to put in them.

recreate rapture
Edit: at Second thought.. invest in reasearch to rebuild rapture so nothing goes unplanned.. like rapture
I would invest my money $1.5 million in my business which returns a handsome 20% annual return. The rest, I would buy prime properties all around the world and rent them out.
Iโd make drivable 1000 foot scyscrapers with little wheels at the bottom and a huge crater so me and my friends can drive them in a battle royalesque type of game
A fully restored 1971 Chevy C10 short wheel bed with a 350, cedar bed planks, and two ton paint. Maybe the mustard yellow and white, but the orange was nice too.
And a custom built early 1900s craftsman style home that looks and feels old but with modern amenities and a garage to park it in.
I'd just make commercials. Advertising things no one needs. Like a make your own ice cube tray kit. During the advert I'd be chainsmoking.
Another one would be me in Vegas just calling people plebians because I've set the world record for most handjobs in a day. Then the word hanjies would take off.

I would buy my company, fire all of the corrupt pieces of shit at the top while tarnishing their name so they remain unhireable, promote the people worth a damn, and flip it.
I'd pour a shit ton of money into building a self-irrigating machine to any singular African third world country with a desert climate. I'd fund their access to clean water, and hire only the finest of engineers, physicists, and mathematicians to figure out a way to control the country's general precipitation and humidity levels. In time, not only would this country have sustainable drinking water, but would also enjoy the ability to farm far more amounts of food for its people thanks to my ingenious and seemingly Christ-like weather machine.
When asked why I did it, I'll just say "I miss the rains down in Africa."

I'd join America's elite class of oligarchs and spend my money on oligarch things. Would also buy my very own home gym so I won't have to be judged by anyone when working out.
Okay so my wife and I have a plan for this (because it'll totally happen one day): first, we pay off all our debt. Then I pay off any of my graduated sister's debts from school, and then I set it up so my currently in-college sister doesn't have to pay anything else. Then we set up a college fund for my brothers and sisters when they get older.
Then we buy a couple of the multi-million dollar homes in the fancy part of town. We rent it out for next to nothing to our struggling friends and offer free room and board to homeless LGBTQIA youth and/or college kids who aren't safe at home. The other home we turn into a shelter for women and animals. Battered women stay for free, with their kids, and all they have to do is help with the animals. The kids can play with the animals anytime. A couple of live-in therapists help the women if they want it- no pressure.
Then we buy this massive apartment in her mom's building. We turn it into the library for all the books. We then buy literally every book we've ever wanted. I get my much needed dental surgery, wife gets to be put under for her dentist needs (she's terrified of the dentist) and we both wake up with our teeth fixed and chill in our library apartment until we're healed. We also buy the best computers we can find, pick our favorites, then give the others to people who need them- college kids, donate them to libraries, etc.
Then we buy a few apartments/houses all over the country. Rent them out when we're not there, turn them into shelters when we can. We take a really nice vacation, buy a plane, keep a pilot on staff, and settle down to be the eccentric lesbian billionaires with lots of animals and great teeth.
I think you can buy various islands in the USVI/BVI for $30-50 million. I'd start there for sure. Probably brew beer and grow cannabis for the rest of my days with my few island companions.

I'd build the Top Golf of disc golf courses. Pimped out sports bar clubhouse with lighted, modular holes that can be changed/altered every day to create a new 18 hole disc golf course.
I would buy a mountain, hollow it out, and construct my subterranean lair. This Super Secret Mountain Base would be the place I concocted and prepared to carry out my litany of relatively nefarious schemes.

I would definetely hire the sweatiest and most hardcore gamers out there to build me the best PC out there. To make sure they wouldn't screw with me, I would allow them to build themselves an exact copy of what they build me.
Then I'd just play old school runescape on a very lucrative house for the rest of my time. In between there I'd go back to Medical School and finish off my MD, but probably not practice. Don't want people going to my clinic for the sole reason to wait for a mistake of mine to sue me for everything I own.

I would buy a theatre. And all its workings, staff, creatives, the rights to shows I like; and produce random musicals whether or not I thought many people would come to see them.
I'd buy a couple of city politicians and corrupt them into doing something RIGHT for a change. Like getting some Scandinavian-level bike infrastructure installed.
Build my underground bunker in the Delaware county quarry. Close to Philly but also nukeproof. I would put a double wide on top that the side folds up and can take my car down into the bunker also underground farming compound.
Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Hell, I'll buy a screen used Captain America shield, Thors Hammer, a part of Iron Mans armor.. Then I'm spending an even bigger check of my money for a theater/display room.
A mint condition Lamborghini SV that I'd ship off to Mclaren to get painted in Volcano Orange. Then probably a BMW M6 to daily and one car each for my buddies. Not sure what I'd buy after that. Probably a modest house for me and one for my mom and pop.
That new lego Millenium Falcon. I know in billionaire terms it's not particularly expensive, but I'll never be able to afford it. It's enormous, looks like so much fun, would be a great talking point and would make me happy.... I'd like to think I'd be relatively grounded if I was a billionaire...
I would buy WizKids and force them to unfuck their Heroclix everything. Why would you release a monster set in AUGUST, and do it the same week as a bigger, better drop?

Buying various dead game franchises from their owners, setting up a game company, and getting the sequels they deserve.
Notable inclusions - Half Life 3 (its not coming otherwise), Dead Space 4 (back to what made 1 and 2 great), Red Faction Guerrilla 2 (Armageddon was ok, but not Guerrilla good)
Buy a couple of politicians and move on to world domination!

I'm a simple man.
I'd build a 4 bedroom house, with a sweet-ass home theater, an indoor/outdoor dog park for my puppy (and the 4 other dogs I'd end up getting), automate everything in my house, solar, geothermal, and build everything with the finest materials.
And the most important things for this house? EVERY electrical outlet would have a blank plate next to it. Behind that blank plate would be an empty box with conduit running to a central hub in the house (probably the basement), so at any point in time I could run whatever I wanted. Many people say that they would run CAT6, but what happens when CAT7 comes out? Or you need to run fiber to something? That ends up being a pain in the ass. So I'd run conduit so I can later easily run whatever the fuck I want.
I'd also buy a Tesla Model 3 (I'm not greedy) for my daily driver, and I'd buy an Aston Martin DB9 for my fancier needs. I'd hire a chef who would buy and cook my food, someone to do a thorough cleaning job, and someone to care for the lawn & garden.
The rest I would split: I'd create a trust for myself so I wouldn't have access to all the money all the time, but I would get a monthly "salary" to cover what I feel like buying, but all my bills (utilities, taxes, repairs, the staff salaries and their expenses, etc) would be directly pulled from the trust, so my actual "paycheck" from the trust would need to be minimal since it's basically my "lets go out to eat or buy this game, or buy this computer" money. This would keep me from over spending, and it would help reduce people trying to take advantage of my money. "Sorry, I literally can't just withdraws $100,000, I only get what I get paid each month."
Then once a financial adviser figured out how much I should put in there to be able to live and never have to work again if I don't want to, I'd put the rest into a foundation where people could write and apply for grants and a board of people who really know what they are doing would review and award grants as needed.
Cars from movies and TV specifically a DeLorean, Brian's Skyline from 2 Fast 2 Furious a '69 Charger painted like the General Lee and a '67 Chevelle just because.
I'd make a completely accurate replica of all of the capitol buildings in Washington, DC, and invite all those assholes at /r/ModelUSGov to come do their thing IRL and have the world's strangest and most realistic model government ever created.
First of all, I would probably finish school. Get my degree, as I've only got two years left. Then, I'm buying an extravagant, lavish, insane house in the Northeast USA with a massive gaming room, 6 car garage, and extensive kitchen. I would keep my first car that I ever bought, for the sentimental value. I would invite friends and family over constantly. I would invest some of it, and spend some on small business ventures such as boutique shops that don't even have to be profitable. Also, I want to set aside 50-75 mil. for children's hospitals and the MDA.
I would bribe a bunch of public servants in immigration and bring my grandparents and cousins to Canada. Buy them all their own houses, get my grandparents 24/7 care and put my cousins in school and pay all their expenses. Then get a private jet and move myself as far away as fucking possible from them.

As weird as it sounds, I'd buy a bottle of Cognac, a Cadillac or Lincoln, and a couple/dozen really nice fountain pens. The rest, more than likely, would go towards debts, and the remainder invested so I could live on it for a long, long time, and do whatever I wanted to keep myself busy.
I would spend half of it on making a solar farm, and the other half doing terabit to the home.
I would put enough fiber underground and charge like $20 per gigabit
And you pay someone else for bandwidth.. screw those peering fees haha.. data centers would get free bandwidth catch would be no charging customers for bandwidth usage using my lines :)
The most excessive PC I could manage to piece together. Might need a mini think tank to help with that. Would probably have to buy out an ISP for decent download speed. Something to put Google fiber to shame but only for me, obviously. With that, I might be able to run PUBG on medium settings @over 40 frames...

First a 1 house at the beach, then 1 house in Colorado. A private plane to fly between both. Then I would gift a 20 foot sea wall to America to protect coastal cities.

TBH the first thing I'd buy would be a Lego Death Star. Dreamed of that for years.
Then would come buying the Star Wars, Marvel, and DC brands, possibly even Disney itself. With my new media near monopoly I can close Disneyland and throw the coolest party ever.
My own chef and bartender that just follow me everywhere, who can make my favourite food and drinks whenever. Like... Iโd put on a lot of weight, but itโd be worth it.
I would throw a banger in a 757-aircraft at 30,000 feet, then I would provide several seed investments for companies I have always wanted to start and actually get my shit together.

I'd fix the road system in my state and try to have some bike lanes added in the more busy areas that don't have them. Not a cyclist but safty is an issue where I live, have had a few friends hit while biking. That sort of shit needs to stop but our state is too lazy to really implement the safety features needed for cyclists.
Also we hosted the world bike polo championship this year and the bike traffic stopped car traffic a few times. Gotta make that safer and keep the crappy traffic system we have moving, lest we get a bunch of angry men!
Two things: My new house would have a pool in the center of it, a nice home gym and very nice kitchen. We might have a chef come in a few days a week, but not everyday - we'd want to be like regular people...
I'd also build the swankiest bowling alley/skating rink around. Neon lights, full bar, old fashioned arcade, pool/billards. Me and my dog would work in the back.
I would also give awesome tips at my favorite restaurants too.

My own private island with renewable clean water, energy and food for eternity. My family would be raised here in complete luxury.

A manufacturing Cooperative.
Initial the hiring process would involve a 90 trail period. After which, the candidate would be given the option to become a co-owner / operator provided that they signed a five year contract. A portion of their initial wages would also go into their share buy in. I'd sell out my shares of the business to the organization once 80% worker ownership was achieved.
I'd probably do this a few times in the areas where I live. People are hurting for jobs that pay a living wage out here.

Iโd build a home on a bunch of acres, have everything I need in the home along with a full library, the kind with a rolling a ladder and several stories high, buy rare books, an indoor& outdoor pool that would have a lazy river going around the property, a yoga room, music room would be best quality and soundproofed, Iโd Hire cleaning people and chefs because Iโm tired of doing it myself. My backyard would be a garden worthy of any of the finest gardens in the world, I would also have a Japanese tea house, a smokehouse for my new hobby of smoking meats and giving away the food to less fortunate - or whoever wants it, I would create a workshop for hubby - a big great one even with quarters to take a nap and shower, then Iโd make him the best skate park in his backyard so he can have all his friends over to skate and have fun. Then Iโd buy a few more homes around the country in select areas just for the view or proximity to a town that we might really enjoy.

Buy a house, get my drivers license, buy a car for me and the now wife. Pay off our debts. The rest would be invested wisely.

I'd probably buy a lot of original comic art. Early Dick Sprang, Kirby, Infantino, Adams stuff. I'd also like some fine art. Maybe some originals of Francis Bacon's stuff. And then just the usual comfortable house, all the books/movies/collectibles/games I've ever wanted to own.
Buy a big ass house with a full size library. Let my wife decorate the rest of the house. Gut the library and make the most pimped out tabletop gaming room imaginable. Hire former Geek Chic craftsmen to build a giant custom game table and chairs, state of the art AV system, floor to ceiling bookshelves (with those damn book shelf ladders) full of board games. Secret bookshelf door to lounge/bar with big ass leather chairs.
Then basically never leave.

Iโd get the best comfort-by softness/hardness-and-temperature-adjustable bed so my husband and I can sleep better next to each other every night. And then buy a private jet that we could take to that amazing hotel room in Santorini that was posted a couple weeks ago.

Then I'd rent a garage to store my car collection and buy the rest of the cars on my list. BMW M1, Porsche 959, Toyota 2000 GT, Alfa Romeo GTA 1300 Junior, 1985 Alfa Romeo GTV-6, 1980's Lotus Espirit, Lamborghini Jalpa, Audi R8 (The original one), and a Porsche Cayman GT4 as a daily driver.

I'm really not one to waste money, even if I had the funds to do so. We'd probably pay off all the debt we have immediately (car loan + husband's student loans), pay out the rest of our lease where we currently live, and start scouting for real estate in a location where we want to live. After we built and moved into our dream house, I'd start buying new furniture and other stuff for the house, and kit it out exactly how we've always wanted. I'd probably also build smaller houses for my parents and in-laws to live in so we can care for them as they age.
I've always wanted a really nice home study. I'd find the most expensive, dark wood I can and make all the shelves out of that. The floors would be marble, with expensive rugs from all over the world. There would be a fireplace constantly roaring. The ceiling would be a dome with a live feed of what the stars look like above. I'd have some big ass crazy tropical fish tank. And I'd have some old ass books and shit, in like extinct languages that no one could read.
A house then a maid to keep the house clean because I'm super lazy when it comes to cleaning.

This qualifies as extravagant and obnoxious. If i really wanted to make a mark for the ages, with enough money i could laser a monumentally huge dick and balls on the moon so all future humanity would have to look at that until the earth is burnt up by the sun. Yeah, i could laser a smiley face instead, but that wouldnt be as funny.
That would take more than 1 billion dollars though. So i guess you are all safe for now.

Go to college for game design, when that is done I would fund a game to be made with a company I respect if they will take my money to do it. I would love to be a part of that process. I would buy a shit ton of land and all the shelter animals in my state I could get my hands on and give them a home. Sappy as fuck I know. Im one of those guys who watches animal rescue videos and im about one fucking second away from crying like a bitch lol. Don't tell anyone.
Then when I realize how much a billion dollars really is, I'd buy a little motorcycle and pay a swarm of responsible drivers or possibly police if I can swing it, to escort me everywhere I drive.
I would be boring and buy a Lamborghini Veneno. Maybe also a Chiron. And why not an Agera RS. And also a Huayra. And a Ford GT. And a F40. And an R34. And an FD RX7. And an AMG GTs. And A DB11. And a Challenger Demon. And a LaFerrari.

I would buy the house next to my Ex. Level the house and in its place build a giant Sphinx with the butt toward her house. I would have a spotlight placed in the butt hole and at night, with the street lights it would come on. In addition, every hour, on the hour I would have the Bobcat Goldthwait voice read the time on a loud speaker and at half past Gilbert Gottfried complain about the DMV for 5 minutes.
I'll buy at least a dozen or more of those Kurata mechs (the one from the Megabots challenge) from Suidobashi including all of their extra equipments and have my own private mech army. I'll have the world's first mech army.
I'd probably see what all the fuss is about with the new iPhone.

Found a bank here in Iceland (loan interests are about 4 percent for 40 year mortgage loans), on average people are paying 2-3x back of the initial loan and offer as many people as I can mortgage loans with preferably under 1% interests and close to no interest to young people due to the fact that young people in Iceland are stuck in their parents house until 30+ due to student loans. This isn't thought 100% through but I guess I could hire a good team for a small portion of the money.

A nice, fully finished, house for my family with enough bathrooms/bedrooms, and an extra room for a nice home office/library, a fenced in yard for the puppy, and a screened sunroom for cats. It'd be in whatever area the family as a whole decided on. Enough land to justify owning and raising a few low-maintence farm animals, I'm thinking goats and chickens. Up-to-date vehicles for the family, and bye-bye debt.
I would find an area of land that had been deforested near a national park, and offer all the current farmers/home owners double the market value for their plots. Then I would bulldoze any buildings or man-made structures and hire an enormous team of locals to re plant all the land with native trees. I would have full time "park rangers" to prevent hunters, loggers, and smugglers. And I would draft an ironclad will to ensure the land would remain an untouched forest forever, setting aside enough money in a trust for the national park to take over operations and conservation after I die.
The luxurious part? I want a 3000 sqft house right in the middle, so I can watch my forest grow.
Minus the house in the middle and using a private fortune, this is essentially what Teddy Roosevelt did to create El Yunque National Park in Puerto Rico. Ever since the first time I traveled there, this has been my dream.
Start my own company. Buy a really good suit. Mansion with a big library that has a secret room that only I know about. The mansion would have a tinkering room with a black smith area and a tech station. Also a personal gym like Mark Wahlbergs. Personal plan to travel the world.
I'd buy a house by my school (DC area), also buy a house in Denver, Co, pay down my student loans, quit my part time job, and travel from one house to another when I feel I need a break. Also if there's any money left prepay about 5 years of house cleaning on both houses.
I'd build a Brodaway-like thater here in my hometown and donate it to the city with clauses for it to be named after my mother and for me to have the best seats whenever I wanted. I'll even handle maintenance for it, but there needs to be some show every week.
I'd get a del Gesu violin. Then I wouldn't have too much of the billion left, but given that I don't need that much living space, I'd just get a couple nice normal-size apartments, and have a cleaner...
A statue of some crusader in my new mansion's courtyard, because I can

Hire the leading experts to teach me every subject I failed in school. An expert each day for an hour. I'd be informed as fuck and flaunt it in front of my teachers. Boom, how you like dem apples Dr Evans?

Buy a controlling interest in the board of EA. Get them to quit their bullshit microtransactions and re-focus on single-player. Make them more like CDPR and Ninja Theory. Make great games for gamers, not solely for profit. Yes, I realize a company is in business to make money, but they've lost their way somehow.
That sort of Nordic, minimalist, open-plan house that is one long room with sort of divider walls rather than rooms. And just glass panes all around. Love it.
Not in the middle of the woods though. That's how you die.
I would buy a lot of land in BC, Canada or the Western US and build a nice high tech house there. I would probably donate a majority of the remaining money to charity. I honestly don't need billions of dollars.
An entourage... not just friends.. but like the whole 9 yards..
So not just the regular entourage things like Chauffeur etc.... but also more obscure and specific roles.
A Herald who would announce my arrival at all things.
A DJ who would coordinate entrance music for me.
I'd want a team of hype people as well who would precede my entrance to places and stand among the people there talking about how awesome and important I am.
I'd also have a double who would actually attend all these functions in place of me.. because I don't really like people, and the last thing I want to do is spend extra time in large social gatherings.
So yeah i'd have a whole ridiculous group of people to attend things in my place that's way over the top.
Iยดd try to pre-emptively lull my conscience into acceptance by finding the top 500 legit NGOs around the world and donating $1m to each. Sea Shepherd, micro-loans around the world, lots and lots of animal shelters, SOS Villages, schools, you name it.
Hopefully then I could enjoy all the Michelin stars dinners, luxury hotel stays, luxury train trips, and other such indulgences.

I would buy a company, any company that produces great content (music, games, tv, etc) and literally spend to get what I want. What I want as a viewer means I can get people like me to watch/listen/play and I make money off them
A plane, I've priced them out, I know what I want. I'm talking a decent sized plane with cargo and passenger capacity a few great pilots and I'd fly the world delivering medical supplies to areas that need them, good to disaster areas whatever. I just want to fly everywhere.
The biggest, grandest, diamond and platinum engraved toilet money can buy. If I have fuck you money, I'mma buy things that make people go "oh fuck youuuu". Of course the seat will be heated, and it will have a bidet with 150psi so my asshole will never know what it's like to be dirty ever again.
I'm a drummer, so I'd probably get a training room in a secluded place where there are no neighbours to complain about the noise, and build the hugest fucking drum kit money can buy. Terry Bozzio has the right idea.
I would go get the most expensive plate at the most expensive restaurant downtown except I would just wear jeans and a T-shirt to the restaurant. Donโt mind me just a regular 21 year college boy enjoying his $300 surf and turf.
I'd go on something like GoFund me and just throw money at people. But under stupid names. So someone in need would wake up to the news that their troubles had been paid off and they had enough money to get back on their feet, thanks to Harry Potter.
This might sound dumb but I would create a video game company to develop X-men legends 3, that cancelled Star Wars game, and any other game cancelled that Iโve always wanted to play.
I'd first buy a nice house and fully pay for it and I may get a year long lease at a high rise and lease a Cadillac for a year. I'd like the taste but I don't want that shit long term.
I'm a simple man. All I want is a fully paid house with no mortgage and a simple car like Chevy Cruise Hatchback.

As my wife and I are about to start looking for a house, i'd just buy a piece of land in our ideal location and tell her to draw whatever she wants and we'll build it.
Then I'd buy a copy of all the power 9 and each dual land.
Id by a mountain and build a Castle on top. The castle would look 100% old-school but be equipped with 100% renewable energy.
Then I would advertise to get people to give up their modern lives to live as pesants in and around my castle. Make sure that outside the home everything looked like the Renaissance but inside I'd make sure they lived in modern comfort if they wanted to.
I'd have orchards, and Fields and stables and a knights order and everything.
Then I'd build a less awesome castle on the next mountain over and have a good friend be the king and do all the same stuff.
Then I'd wage war on the neighbors. But with non leathal weapons and stuff like ampguard but cooler because I can put money into it.

Does a house count as lavish? Also, quitting my job.
I would immediately buy a remote tropical island and hire a construction company to build an environmentally friendly (like with wind/solar power and deep water a/c and geothermal heating) and hurricane/typhoon-proof mansion on it for a vacation home and a nice boat and/or helicopter or plane to get there (depending on how far out it is).

2 dishwashers. You eat and immediately put the dishes in the other dishwasher. By the end of the night youve moved them all over and run it. You never have to actually unload or load the dishes again!
Legally I would lend money to a third world country to have them buy drones or some other missiles. My lending would be for infrastructure which would free up their funds for the weaponry.
I'd pay off all of my debt in one go, take my mom to a car dealership and say "pick whichever one you want", buy myself some nice clothes, and that's...about it? I have simple tastes.
More than likely, the Federal Government would discover I instantly acquired $1,000,000,000 out of the blue if I spent so much money at once, and then I'd be in trouble.
So the thing I'd do is buy an immensely large house with a bank loan, pay off said loan, and if questions are asked as to how I attained my money, just go, "I got it from selling the house guys"
I would pay for going to medical school, since I missed out on the entry first time due to mental health difficulties. I figured I could then go abroad to say the US and that would be okay for me to drop out and then wait a year to apply. Then pay off my fees and living costs with the money. Then once I did that I would give it away to whatever charities I can think of.
Well first I would put 95%+ of my fortune in to a savings account. Then I build the most advanced gaming PC ever and a tonne of video games for that PC. Then I'd eat some sushi and book a nice long holiday in the mediterrainean with some escorts.
Crazy over the top custom made Gravitron With lasers, crazy sound system, smoke machines, wireless controls and remarkably comfortable padding that would also cushion you from slamming into the sides.
I would build a compound similar to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, hire some good people who need help, let them live there, and run a non-profit no kill shelter for all kinds of animals. Not too lavish, but more or less a dream of my wife and I.
Build a treasure galleon and fit it with automated rigging, solar panels, a set up for desalinating water, a satellite dish for periodic internet and a green house and then just live a life of luxury on the high seas
I'd buy 250 acres of land west of Houston. Build 15-20 mansions on around 100 acres of it for all my family and friends to live in. Build a soccer field and a large playground. Leave the rest as forest for adventures and hunting.
A personal trainer/assistant. I would basically pay someone to help me lose weight and hang out with me all day and be my friend. (The "trainer" part is so I can feel justified paying for it-- really, I just want a friend.)
I'd get some land and do my best to build an authentic looking Viking village on it. For convenience, I'd hide electrical outlets and stuff. I'd use it as my getaway spot for hunting trips and stuff.
A car with Bluetooth. Iโm still rockinโ a 2004 Odyssey and 2008 civic, and I only have an aux cord in the civic. The odyssey is CD only. I just want to seamlessly connect to my carโs stereo system.

Well, probably a college education. 'Cause right now, that wouldnt be a waste of money, but if i were ridiculously rich, it probably would be.
Aside from that, id commission an old mansion deep in the woods. Itd have a huge library (with secret moving bookshelves), a huge banquet hall with just one long table, there would be balconies everywhere, the livingroom would have large windows, a huge frand piano, and a comically large fireplace. Itd have a wide arcing staircase greet you as soon as you step through the massive double . Id have maquerade balls on new years, yule balls on christmasses, murder mystery events, and trick-or-treaters would run through a legit haunted house designed to scare the ever living shit out of them, at the end of which they would recieve one of those massive chocolate bars.
Id first buy a mansion and fill all the rooms that I wouldn't be staying in with nothing but arcade machines, bemani cabs and at least 1 popcorn maker in each room.

I would buy my boss's motorcycle shop. But only on the condition that he will take the money and buy himself a nice new car and not some 5 year old rebuild salvage that he has to travel 125 miles to pick up because it's a "really good deal".
I want to own a decommissioned lighthouse. And I want to live at the top. And nobody knows I live there. And there's a button I can press and launch that lighthouse into space.

I'd buy the top floor or three of a building, and put in an indoor pool surrounded by an indoor orchard. Or a shorter building with a private roofdeck and do the same in a fancy greenhouse.
2) Buy a late 60's early 70's era muscle car, perhaps a Chevelle, and pimp that shit out - air scoop sticing out of the roof, spoiler, wheelie bar... all that sht.
3) I would buy the most powerful computer possible and stick it with... well, probably four voltrons assuming they were out already - otherwise 4 Titan XP's until the voltron is available.

I would create a political action group that would lobby and cause corporate espionage against candy corn. Itโs time the scourge of humanity was stopped.

Basketball courts, football and soccer fields, tennis, racquetball, pool, ping pong, hockey, gym, theaters with video game consoles, computer lab, recording studio, green room for film, editing suite, etc.
Then I'd hire passionate people to run each center and develop programs to keep the kids engaged.

Honestly, I'd just end up quitting my job and catching up on books I want to read. 'Catching up' just means read as much as I like with no end in sight, so that would probably last me for a month or two reading 800 or so books. Haven't been allowed to do that since high school, and I miss the simpler days. After that I'd probably get a job at a library, or a flower shop, and just relax doing simple work.
A few weeks ago, my husband, sister, and brother in law, went to a furniture store to buy my mom a recliner fir her birthday. After we picked out her chair, we were looki g around and spotted massage chairs. In the past, they weren't all that good. In fact, the bottom of the line chair felt like rolling pins pushing on my back. Then I tried the top of the line chair. It does everything! You put arms and legs in it. It tilts you backwards. It is heated and does from your neck all the way down. It even does your hips. It interfaces with your phone. It was bliss! My bastard of a brother in law took two turns while we were paying and setting up delivery. I miss that chair. I want it. I wish I had the cash for it because it is amazing! I would buy one so fast!

A lakeside cottage with a greenhouse and garden, doublewide garage, a spacious basement, and a jetty with a small boat tied to it. I'd decorate the house lavishly for every holiday, and we'd have a closet dedicated just for costume piecesโthat way we're never out of options for Halloween or the Renaissance Festival.

An apartment building with a fully equipped hackerspace, 2-storey loft apartments with garden balconies, each suitable for a small family, an extensive garage with full-size parking spaces, and a gym with space and equipment for a variety of activities such as parkour, jogging, archery, swimming, and various combat sports (muay thai, boxing, kickboxing, HEMA, wrestling, etc.) The gym and shop would probably take up the first 2-3 floors alone, and I imagine that above that would be 3-5 floors of 2-level apartments, depending on where it gets built. Machinery goes at the top level, so no penthouse suite. At-cost living for close friends and family.
Secondarily, auditing architecture and mechanical engineering courses at U of T.
Probably a helicopter or some outrageous car to drive to work and tell my boss to fuck off, probably with a bus with a full marching band to herald my arrival and departure.
There is an island off the coast of Cape Cod owned by John Kerry and the Heins family. Its failry large and for the most part uninhabited. I would buy that. I want my own fucking island too god damn it.
I would by my friend a top of the line side by side berretta 12 guage. After spending $40,000+ on the gun I would spend as much as I could getting it engraved and personalized as much as possible to make re selling it very difficult. He loves guns and hunting, but I feel he would rather just get the $40,000
I would build an exact replica of the "The Derek Zoolander School for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Want to Do Other Stuff Good Too", and have it be a free education center in a poor city. Tutors for everything from first grade to high school, top of the line computers and teaching aids, and to top it off, have Ben Stiller be the official principal, giving the welcome speech every year in character.
The most lavish thing I would buy on tomorrow morning would be an entire day of not being responsible for a damn thing. I'd sleep and nap and sleep some more.
And then the next day, I would plan how I'd spend my money.
I would do, what they did on I love you man. Have multiple Billboards displaying my friend making a creepy face. The billboard would say have you been tested yet? Also have them followed by a mariachi band at random times.
I know this sounds ridiculous but.... I would buy a huge piece of land in most poor countries and turn them into safe havens for stray dogs.
With people feeding and taking care of them.
This is after of course I buy myself a house that has a huge basement and turn it into my own man cave.... actually I will be doing that next year, it will just be bigger that's all.
Giant playground for dogs with pools and sprinklers. And then build a giant housing unit for them. Iโd hire a staff of caretakers and then head to the local shelters and empty them out. Give all the unwanted dogs in KC a home and people to take care of them and love them. And I would spend my days with them.

So I wake up, have enough money to never work some bullshit job again, and never worry about anything?
I guess I'd buy a bottle of my favorite single malt, kick back with a big ol' glass and contemplate how to spend it all.
I think I'd end up building a badass zeppelin and hiring a crew to travel wherever me and my guests please. I'd stock it full of fine alcohols and cigars, have a sweet computer system full of pirated media, and invite people to join me for a time as we sail the skies in the most luxurious kind of style.
Maybe build myself a port of call on Anticosti Island if Quebec is on board with it. A billion is a lot of money!
an island, I would buy a secluded island. aside from a few people, the rest of the world can fuck right off after that.

If solitude was extravagantly lavish I'd say that. But honestly, nothing. I'd be debt free, make sure my family members were all taken care of then buy a house in the middle of no where and just live quietly and comfortably.
Save it until I get through undergrad and then hopefully go where I want to live for Grad school, and buy a FUCKIN EPIC condo, put a hot tub/soundproof EVERYTHING and get a direct high-speed low-lag internet connection.
I'd pay off my house, then eat Avocado toast and drink lattes while a crowd of Baby Boomers watch and get mad. I might even spit on a copy of the NY times for added insult.

I would get a plot of land away from people, but still near enough to a decent sized city where I could go in and enjoy the art and culture some days. Hopefully a few hundred acres but I would settle for much, much less so long as it had privacy.
Since we are being extravagant with our billions I would commission a cottage instead of buying one. It would look like it came out of a fairy tale, with a thatched roof, lots of curves, round windows, etc.
The inside of the cottage would look just as whimsical but in the construction would be very modern, clean, and energy efficient. It would have all mismatched cabinet doors and not a single dish in the house would match.
The library would be magnificent. I would collect thousands of books. The room would have a fireplace and comfortable wing back chairs to sit and read.
Iโd hire a full-time housekeeper and give them their own auxiliary house to live in somewhere on the land, far enough out and blocked off enough that we each still have privacy. Iโd do as many interviews as it took to find someone who is compatible with my lifestyle and who I get along with, and Iโd pay them very well.
Iโd spend most of my days building and maintaining a fantastic garden where everything is edible. In addition to the normal fruits and veggies Iโd tear out my grass and replace it with either mint, lavender, or creeping oregano. I would have flowers (edible ones) everywhere and Iโd let bees stay with me without bothering them for their honey. Iโd plant as many fruit trees as I could.
I'd buy the farm house I currently rent and then hire someone to do my laundry. Then I'd buy other people things and feel good about myself for doing so.

I would donate a large portion to the many public school teachers I know that put their own time and money into providing their students with necessary materials.
I would buy premium (foil) versions of all my magic the gathering decks. MTG is already a hilariously expensive hobby, and foils are often twice or more the price of the regular card.
Im buying an Island, and using my money to influence whatever branch of whatever government(s) i need to to declare sovereignty. Making myself King of my own country
I would call my bank and tell them I need counselling on how to invest a billion dollars. Then, I'd go to that appointment and watch a dozen bankers go out of their way to explain different options for investing in real estate, stocks, and whatever else they can come up with. After they've finished their comprehensive presentation, I'd go...
"Nah, fuck it, put all of it in my savings account."
I think I'd pay people to do mysterious things, just to add a bit of intrigue into everyone's daily life.
Stuff like tagging the same elaborate, occult-looking symbol on buildings all over town, or hovering over downtown for a few hours a week in an unmarked, all black helicopter. Mint a bunch of coins featuring esoteric symbolism and some mysterious dude's face, and start leaving them around in parks, sidewalks, etc. Plant thousands of pot plants in the lawns of prominent politicians and business people. Start up a shortwave number station. Rent a dozen unmarked white vans and convoy around. Create a shell company with a generic and vaguely sinister sounding name (like "Wisteria Research Group" or "Syncorp Labs") and have them very quickly build a large, incredibly obvious antenna apparatus and never tell anyone what it's for. Tear it down overnight after a few months, sell the property and never explain anything to anyone. Hire calligraphers to hand write a series of books in an entirely made up language, then simultaneously sneak hundreds of them into libraries and used book stores. No two should be the same. Buy a nondescript warehouse, and hire conspicuous guys in suits and dark sunglasses to patrol the parking lot. They would be under strict orders to patrol in a really obvious pattern, and to leave gaps in their shifts just large enough for curious urban explorers to sneak in. The only light inside would be a single bare bulb dangling over an ancient leatherbound book on a stand in the center of the otherwise empty warehouse. The suits would be instructed to allow intruders to get almost all of the way to the book before chasing them out (naturally allowing them to narrowly escape capture).
Basically, I'd spend my fortune convincing random folks that they're in an episode of X-Files.
I would sponsor a cycling team. Spend months out of the year in the mountains of France, Spain, and Italy drinking wine, eating cheese and fancy breads and watching elite athletes suffer their way up those same mountains working for me.
The most tricked out woodshop anyone has ever seen. All the top of the line machines, the rarest woods, the largest slabs, the highest quality hand tools and a cavernous space to house it all in. Then I'd spend my days making furniture and canoes and crap like that and be happy.
Also, a gold toilet. Because fuck you I'm shitting on gold.

I would hire heavy metal bands to perform while I worked out.
Breakfast. Simply just go to a nice diner and get as much breakfast and coffee as I want. Not worry about going to work, put all the money away, and then go bowling.
Probably just some caviar. Not like a ton of it, but maybe go somewhere fancy enough in town for a seafood dinner I don't have to worry about paying for. I just can not justify buying caviar, it's stupid expensive. But delicious.
You know what? I'd probably just go to the best seafood restaurant in any city where someone I know lives. That's a little bit more adventurous.

And i think would sleep peacefully after that....and i would then plant trees, lots of them.
Probably a private jet. My wife and I love to travel, and I would love the ability to not have to deal with regular airports/planes anymore.

I'd build a giant circular plateau- something like 20m high and 1km in diameter and very slightly bowl-shaped. A tunnel would run underneath from ground level outside to the center of it, where there would be an elevator which takes you up to the surface and then lowers back flush with the ground. On the top would be nothing but a sea of soft green grass (I'm torn on which variety- St. Augustine? Zoysia? Ryegrass? Or maybe something tall enough to run my fingers through, like wheat? Or bluebonnets? Maybe every few years I'd till it all up and try something different).
Standing on top of it, it would look like you are all alone on a planet covered with grass. You could roll around, lie down and watch the clouds/stars, host picnics, play fetch with a dog, or whatever.
I'd probably keep it for myself until I die and create a foundation to maintain it as a public park thereafter.

I'll buy 2000 acres of land to build my personal forest. I'll dig some big ponds inside for rainwater harvesting. The forest will be populated with all kinds of exotic plants and animals. There will be no big dangerous animals like big cats, elephants or rhinos. Deers will be the largest animal there.
The forest will be filled with many types flowering plants. So, it will look unique in different seasons. The blooming forest will also be filled with different types of fruit trees.
There will be a forest resort with modern facilities in that jungle. There will be trekking routes too. The ponds will be interconnected by a deep canal. There will be solar powered boats too.
A team of qualified botanists, biologists and wildlife experts will look after it. There will be some forest guards too.
Buy up all the local tree farms and pay loggers not to clear cut. I would also hire people to watch the loggers to make sure they aren't clear cutting. Logging is important, but I'm so sick of them getting away with clear cutting while it's illegal. Also, force them to actually plant the trees afterward they are legally required to do per my state law. Seen dozens of clear cuts, never saw one with trees planted afterwards.
Actually, fuck logging, I'm going to buy politicians until the paper industry is mostly hemp. Logger employees get grants to start their own hemp farms or college or other training.

Lamborghini. Seven of em. One for each day of the week.
I would set up a foundation to award whistle blowers who expose government corruption at every level...and in connection with this, I would establish some type of game/awards show to thank each of the people who come forward.
First, with the foundation, I would hope to establish an endowment that would allow for continual awards to be issued. Hopefully, it would be possible to attract additional investment from the public and other high net worth individuals. The award amounts issued would be based on the relative position of the offender and maybe even the offense. For instance, if you're a local councilman who's taking bribes to award contracts, then your whistle blower might get a five or six figure award. However, if you're the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence committee and you're selling state secrets to a foreign national, then your whistle blower might be getting seven figures.
This process would incentivize doing the right thing. Maybe you're a staff member for a corrupt politician and it eats at you that your boss does such terrible things. We'll issue a cash reward once you expose their wrongdoing. And then...we'll have you on our show, where the viewing audience can "Supersize" your award, if they so please. First, it would be an opportunity to thank you for your courage and integrity, then, it would be a real-time 'gofundme', where citizens who support the actions of the whistle blower could throw in a few dollars. But, hopefully, our show would be so popular, that a few dollars multiplied over millions of people would make that person set for life.
My biggest fear is that this would eventually lead to people turning others in for trivial things, so there would need to be some stringent controls and oversight. The goal would be to focus on criminal matters and avoid moral issues, but I'm sure there would be challenges either way.

I wouldn't. I'd immediately start building homes in my country that were truly affordable. I'd build homes for the homeless too. I'd put money into social care and I'd try to prevent countries going backwards by chipping away at their social care infrastructure to save a bit of cash in hard times.
Then I'd buy a really nice push bike and my own little 2 bedroom house somewhere. And a kick ass new PC, or course.
I'd completely replace my wardrobe with higher quality, better styled, perfectly fitted shoes and clothing. All classic pieces so I could wear the items for years. I'd also splurge on a couple Ralph&Russo gowns and pairs of shoes (because they're pretty AND I WANT THEM).
I just want to pay off my student loans and buy my mom a house so she doesn't have to take care of her grandkids in a shitty 1.5 bedroom basement apartment.
I've spoken to people who became rich pretty much overnight, finding oil on their farm and what not. Only thing that changed was they traded in their regular F-150 for a F-150(or 250, or 350) with all the extras.
Other than that nothing changed for those hicks.
I would buy a playset of every magic card ever printed. Every printing. And hire someone whose job was to keep it all organized and find cards for me.

Buying the House Judiciary Committee and get them to start impeachment proceedings against Trump.

I'd buy huge stretches of the South Pacific and would do absolutely nothing with it...to keep it pristine. I'd be one of the largest "land" owners on the planet...
A 20 food diamond statue of Duke nukem in a fallout bunker along with all his games and a stone tablet etched with various stories of how he saved the planet from the alien menace and how he continues to patrol the far reaches of space. This would greatly confuse and terrify aliens if the world ever ended and they discovered the remains of our civilization.

Giant ball pit. Scrooge mcduck style pool but instead of coins, those plastic balls to dive into. Hammock overhang and everything. Shit'd be nice
Buying a huge home for my mom. Like, outright. Then giving her enough money to not only be able to make payments for 10 years but also to be able to live off of comfortably.
Build my own city out in the middle of nowhere. I'd make it sustainable of course, so that it wouldn't require constant injections of money, but it'd be nifty to see some dead, rural area just spring up overnight.
Lavish because, with 'my health' I mean I would hire the best doctors, massage therapists and personal trainers in the world to examine every cell of my body and to bring me to the best physical condition a human can possibly be in.
Waste because, I live in a country with free health care. I don't need to spend money to be healthy. But I never liked going to doctors, it's always a big hassle, and if you don't choose well you end up with a bad doctor that doesn't really help your situation (most doctors I've been to just tried to be done with me as quickly as possible). I can find good health care without needing money for it, but sometimes I wish the good health care would just come to me effortlessly.
Iโd hire a full-time Holiday decorator. They would be solely responsible for decorating for every holiday year round. Halloween, Christmas, New Years, check check check. Flag day; Presidents Day. Check.
But the best part? They have to take all that shit down and pack it away.
Lavish would be paying off my student loan. Having to skip dinners sometimes to squirrel away for student loan payments every month makes paying it off a bucket list item.
My sister is a full time missionary in another continent than mine. Just like any other missionary, she raises all of her money and itโs all from donations... if I was to come into billions of dollars, I would give her at least a million of it so that she wonโt have to worry about raising money for a while and perhaps she can do whatever she wants with it because I know that she would use it well.

Not extravagant, but Iโd buy the mtg power nine cards, a few modern decks and as many board games as I can find. I STILL havenโt played dark souls bg and I want to sooooo much! Also pay off my school loans and pay the remaining semesters myself. One of the things Iโm stressing out the most is that Iโm over-credit hours so idk if Iโm still going to get loans or if I have to pay from pocket. I wanna graduate soon but then I have to start paying back $20,000 and find a job that lets me do that and live comfortably. If I could go back in time I would either change my major earlier or dropout entirely. There are people w/o degrees that make more money than me or my mom. If I had a billion dollars I would be FAR less stressed and suicidal ๐
Get a trainer, get in brad pitt type shape, buy a tom ford suit, ask emma stone out, buy a Ferrari 488, drive by all my ex's to make sure they see me. every day. for a year. in a different car, but always with emma stone.

The first thing I'd do is probably pay off the student loans of my closest friends, especially if I can find a way to do it anonymously.
I'd get an island, one where a good number of people could comfortably sustain themselves. Land is obvious answer and in these crazy times can't hurt to have a natural barrier

I've always wanted a super power like the "Unbreakable" movie where you heal others with touch- BUT since that can't happen, I would keep my billions secret and help others in need, anonymously. You can't afford your farm, because of this and that (totally innocent stuff)- BAM! paid for. You need a life saving operation but poor? BAM! Other than that, something along the lines of "Patch Adams" and maybe a little farm of my own with a few honest ranch hands in need of a home/work... and an animal sanctuary.....
i would donate all of it except a few million to live of the interest with.
i wouldnt have the slightest clue how to handle my finances with that kind of money. i guarantee you will all end up in trouble with the IRS and have no idea why.
i would pay off all friends and families debts, pay for their projects, donate to all the cities in the county, donate to my school district, the local mission, the local colleges, i would set up scholarships if i had time to learn the process, animal shelters, local businesses, i would by land and donate it to the city and fund parks in it and not just swing set parks: atv, frisbee golf, bird watching, observatory parks, anything i could.
you could change the life of a million or more people in a few days and save yourself the headache of taxes when youre super rich
I always imagined owning a large enough piece of land where essentially me and my best friends (and their family) can all live on the same street and just raise our kids together and be the best neighbors ever.
Immediate and Thorough healthcare for my friends, family, myself, my dead cat, my grandpa who died from alzheimers 3 years ago, healthy food and a great chef for catering for the rest of my life.... That should leave me with around 300 million after all the medical payments, catering payments, and Taxes on Wealth.
After th at I will reinvest 2/3 of my remaining cash, give my parents 25% in maximum untaxable amounts over the next couple years while buying them some personal gifts, give my sister 25% to invest in her future, and keep the rest for myself while buying my own p hone plan with none of my extended family whom I have not seen in over 10 years on my contacts list. Then I will avoid them on social media like the plague and opt to keep my phone and home out of white pages/yellow pages / public means of tracking me down. Then I will invest in a good boye that will protect me against thugs and get a conceal carry permit.
I'd probably buy a bunch of high end music gear i want to try out but could never justify owning as a student like a Strandberg Boden J, or just get a bunch of Prestige/J-Custom ibanez models I've wanted but can't easily find in Canada like an RG8527fz-bx or RGD3127.
pretty much the only fancy things i give a fuck about are high end guitars, so if i ever get rich i'm gonna end up with a modest house, a toyota corolla and a bunch of japanese made ibanez and maybe some boden Js if i end up liking the endurneck
Probably the biggest most ridiculous gaming PC I can imagine. We're talking multiple i9, multiple nvidia titans, more RAM than some people have storage space, all on a custom open layout of course, with multiple monitor setup. I probably would get motion sickness from it and wouldn't be able to tell the difference from my current setup, but damn if I don't get to win at every stupid competition on r/pcgaming just because
Edit: and more RGB than I know what to do with. Of course

Not that lavish but I'd buy every single 1964 Gibson melody maker ever made. I've got a serial number gap in my collection and I'm having a hard time tracking down the 5 I need so this seems like the easiest way to finish the run.
If anyone here has a double cut melody maker in cherry or sunburst with a serial number between 248561 and 248567 please sell it to me right away.
And you know, I guess I'd also buy a house for me and my fiance.
Probably travel and go get the most expensive Sushi possible while enjoying other similar experiences in Japan on a 1 year carefree vacation. With no need to worry about work or paid time off, I'd probably just spend the rest of my life traveling and becoming a less cool not famous Anthony Bourdain.

The biggest, most obscene boat I could purchase. The kind that has smaller boats embedded to support it. I'd like at least one of those support boats to have some jetskis, too, since we're being extravagant.
The most extravagant... Probably a Thinkpad X62S, or to be more precise, an ancient X61S with a Chinese aftermarket Mainboard with modern hardware.hardware., I would not spend much money anyway, give away a lot to close friends and family, some to charity and invest the remaining for a future without worries...

Custom, handmade, kitchen knives. Then probably a forge and master blacksmith to teach me how to make my own knives. Also a BBQ pit and private lessons with Aaron Franklin.

Iโd buy all new snowboarding gear, a house at the bottom of a ski run with a garage, a Porsche Cayenne for the winter, a 911 for the summer, and a marijuana dispensary.

A house with enough room for a green house. Maybe 2 acres or so.
Our fridge just broke in our apartment, its been 5 days and no fridge. So right now I'm dreaming of actually owning a house, and not relying on a land lord.
I'd want a green house so I can grown tons of veggies, and can them for the winter. Would be great to supply for our self.
Iโve had these blueprints sitting around for a while that if things work could make a drone about the size of a quarter. I just donโt have the means of production. Iโm also working on a sort of swarm type deal, but I donโt have the skill set to execute something like it. I would probably drop the money into these projects, Play the stock market, and hopefully end up even richer.

A large circular room with a domed roof. In the center would sit the most comfortable swivel seat and voice controlled fold out keyboard, mouse, joystick, headphones, mic, and various controllers. The seat would be pneumatic and capable of rotation and reactive motion, like a ww2 gunner seat.
The room would be lined with seamless panelled monitors that can offer a 360 panoramic view from floor to ceiling. The panels would also be adjustable into multiple configurations. I would have every piece of equipment needed to play every video game on earth.
Internet connection? Blistering. Graphics? 60fps on every game. Clever engineering allows easy upgrades and everything is as forward compatible as humanly possible.
Buy an old Mall that isn't too big and make it into an arcade. 80's, 90's clothing store available for the nights with those themes. And a theater in it that plays Kung Fu movies.
I'd buy a light house. One with a little red button at the top and when I push that button. It launches the lighthouse into space.

1964 shelby gt500. I've always wanted one and I know that if I even could find one even close to being fully restored, I would never be able to afford it. That would literally be the only thing I'd waste money on. Rest of it is going to pay off mom's debt/my debt and put her a nice house to retire in, buy myself a modest new daily driver to replace my currently dying car (probably get a civic or something) and sit on the rest doing some fun stuff here and there until I get too old to use the rest and donate it to charities for animals, disabled veterans, and kids with shit parents.

I'd rent out the concierge level building at Disney's Polynesian for a month and invite all my friends and family for a free top-of-the line luxury Walt Disney World vacation. I'd hire a private jet to take us down, limos to bring us to the parks (or convertibles/awesome cars to drive if that's what people want), flowers/food/toys in all the rooms. Everyone would get annual passes to the parks, the deluxe dining package, and full charging privileges so they could buy whatever tours, toys, souvenirs, and drinks they want. My friends could come and go as they pleased for the month. We'd just party at Trader Sam's and run amok in Epcot. While I was away, I'd have my new house constructed so that it was move-in ready (with all my stuff already unpacked and setup) when I got home. My husband and I would stay in one of the Disney Vacation Club bungalows with our dogs (we'd hire someone to house-sit the cats) so we could have some privacy. Our friends/family with kids would also get a bungalow so they could spread out.
Damn. Now I really wish I was rich so I could do this. BRB, buying lotto ticket.
First, just deposit enough that the rest of my tuition is paid off for the next 3 years, then buying the sexiest electric car I can get. The problem? Don't live in an area where charging it would be possible BUT I'M DOING IT ANYWAYS
A tank, but not any tank, a fully working version of the Primo Victoria tank. And I'm gonna pay Sabaton to play a concert in my backyard to christen it.
student loans, investing in stocks, help open up a business, charity stuff because people that do good things for people is cool and maybe just save.. I don't know

Honestly if I woke up a billionaire tomorrow I'd just pay off all the debts of family and friends, set aside a few hundred million to live the rest of my life off of, and donate the rest over time in $10k-100k increments to charities of my and my wife's choosing.
I'd build the simplest, coziest, yet as modern as possible, little house

Most of it would look like your average home aside from the kitchen, there I would go all in. Espresso machine, dishwasher, extremely high quality knives, other fancy machines, a kitchen island and so on.

There is a small farm near the farm i grew up on. The woman does nothing with the land, and she is getting older. She knows this and is trying to go out in style by selling her land as high as she possibly can. It is probably 80% higher than the actual value of the land.
I would totally buy it out, bribe spectrum to run cable the extra five miles to live there, and have my own small farm with an aquaponics greenhouse, a jersey cow or two, and a bison from the state wildlife board from their yearly auction.
after I built my castle, I'd pay to have a lake-sized trench excavated and lined all around my castle except for a thin strip of road. I'd have a castle in a lake!

Hiring the best mental health professionals for my stepson, and putting all three kids into great private schools. Also, a top tier personal trainer for myself.
Give Netflix all the money they needed to pay for the production of a decent ending for Sense 8.
And after that more sensible things like buying an apartment or a house - heck why not both - both for me and my brother and generally be generous with family and friends. Let's all go on a super fun vacation that we would never be able to afford otherwise!

Iโd buy this bar downtown. Itโs a cool enough place, but there are so many things that could be done better.
Iโd move one pool table to the other room where no one ever really is and put them side by side. Move the tables around and buy more so the giant semi-empty space where the one pool table used to just sit and eat up space could be used for more seating areas. Because when that place gets even a LITTLE busy there is NOWHERE to sit. Move the jukebox to the new pool room, too. Keep the smaller tables in the pool room but closer to the windows.
Utilize the second bartop in the pool room so you can actually order a drink from time to time when the waitstaff is bogged down. Also hire more bartenders and wait staff.
Add some sort of half-roof over the super cool back deck area as to not mess with the natural lighting but also make it usable when itโs raining or thereโs snow.
I could keep going on and on about this place. Every time I drink there at some point I start thinking about how much better it could be and itโs almost infuriating.
I'd walk into this bar I used to work at, buy the place and fire everyone for complete incompetence and tell the current own to go f*ck himself for screwing me over last Christmas. Sorry Ma I couldn't afford you a card.

Myself. I'd probably quit work, then invest in my health and well-being. Fitness programs at good gyms, healthy food, doctors appointments and medical advice.
I'd then have a good grasp on how long i have left in life, and devote myself to building something that lasts.
I would by all the houses being pursued by your standard asshole college landlords/property company(specifically the ones at my University), outbidding them by needlessly large sums, and turn around and sell them for pennies. Or just demolish them and let the lot sit there empty as a giant fuck you to them.
I would give each and every poor person a million dollars and divide the rest between liberal and progressive political action committees. And then watch the powers that be freak out .
I tell you what I'd do, man... 2 chicks at the same time, man.

I would fund studios to design games and/or anime I want.
Actually, I would start an entire company to create original content catered to my tastes.
I expect to market and sell said products to keep the company afloat, but still... It would mostly be because I wanted them, not because I wanted to sell them.
Depending on how poorly my business does, I would expect to keep that going for at least ten years with > 1billion dollars, but games are expensive and if enough things flop that will go relatively quickly.
And so Brewster's Billions were spent.

A large yacht with a landing strip on it and a dozen of predator drones.
Then I'm going on a conquest of small island nations, work my way up to amassing a few, then see if I can use the GDP to acquire Boston dynamics and have them crank out a legion of terminators (whilst also redeveloping a vulcano to my underground lair)
I'd start a company that'd lobby the US government to spend less on military and more on humanitarian efforts, such as implementing a minimum income, instating universal health care, oh and maybe ending world hunger while we're at it. I'd use pretty much the entire 1 billion dollars (which I hope is enough) to fund this company, because literally noone who has 1 billion dollars deserves it, and leftover money will be used to buy myself a nice, but small and modest house and be donated to various people's gofundmes since we still live in an era where being alive is a luxury.
I'd charter a cruiseship and invite only people I wanted to go on vacation with.

Probably built myself a giant library though I am not sure how to decide with what books to fill it with of course every book from any author I liked any book from but that doesn't fill a library. I guess I have someone else fill it. But anyway there are some awesome looking libraries and having endless rows filled with books for myself of course with nice reading spaces. I guess I will add some living space somewhere no sense building an extra mansion if you are already building a huge library.
Aside from that I don't think I would be all that wasteful probably. Would probably feel obligated to get involved in some stuff for the good of humanity though.
I would hire a person to find me 2 mint playsets of every printing of every magic the gathering card. Playset for storage and display, one for actually using. I would then hire that person to tend to my collection. I would basically send them "orders" and they would bring me the cards I want to build a deck or just look at or whatever. I'll pay them pretty well and that's all they have to do.
Hands down, a European estate (Lake Como, Montalcino, Lubรฉron, Praiano, or Biarritz) with full staff, a selection of vehicles, a helipad with helicopter and on-call pilot, a fully-functional and staffed vineyard, an olive and lemon tree grove, and a massive English garden for extravagant parties.
Lamborghini Miura or a Ferrari 288 gto. However because Iโm sure neither are local to me and Iโd want instant gratification Iโd run out and buy a new Porsche turbo until either of the above could be shipped to me.
I would have a 2 story statue of myself riding on top of a dragon. It would be made of marble and I would be decorated in sapphire with a sword shining with diamonds. If you've seen yugioh I would be the dragon master knight monster card.

With that much money I would own almost nothing. Everything would be rented boats, housing, planes, cars, women. everything.
I was recently working on a house on Jura, an island off the coast of Scotland, a millionaire hedge fund manager bought a 12,000 acre estate built a 2.5 million pound mansion, a golf course and a guesthouse on the estate. He plans to use it a few days a year when he wants to play golf on his almost private course (because you've to pay a million pound sign up fee and 50 grand a year membership after that).
So that's whit I'd do, build a big fucking house in loads of places and rarely use any of them because I just have too many houses.
I'd buy a helicopter with a platform mount on each side. I'd go to construction sites and pick up porta-potties that were filled up and set them on the platforms. Then I'd fly around and drop the shitters right on the houses/cars/etc of the people who wronged me.
I'd pay someone to shit the smelliest, wettest diarrhea on my neighbor's kid's drawer every day. That little shit shouts the most annoying things out his window every morning, waking me up.

I'd buy every crappy, mostly vacant mini mall in my home town. Fix them up and let anyone use the space to run a local business, with a focus on art, community, and education. No shitty dollar stores or predatory cash loan places allowed.
I would hire a DM and a group of people to play D&D with.

The cutest fall fashions for my 4 year old and 2 year old. Sometimes I just want to get them something nice but the only thing we can afford is what keeps us alive
I'd go out to the pub with both of my friends and buy them as much as they want to drink (and eat). For years they've been buying for me. It would go a tiny way toward thanking them for their grace and kindness over the years.
i would buy a retired WW2 destroyer and pimp it out into my luxury yacht. imagine throwing parties at my warship, i would have fireworks installed that would shoot out of the guns like actual bullets.
if that yacht thing doesn't work, maybe i could buy two destroyers instead and have firework war on 4th of july and take fees for people to watch. i would have tours and every year i would visit a new location like NYC harbor or San francisco.
I would probably be dead within a week. If i ever had that much money I would go on a drug and booker induced rampage for as long as I could remain conscious.
I'd buy an arcade. I know it would be a failing business pretty much permanently but if I'm a billionaire, I assume I can keep it afloat a good long while.
Maybe even one with laser tag, batting cages, and go karts.
Try to keep it as cheap as possible. Just make a good place for families to go and have fun.

I would create the worlds first gopher sanctuary, a mile wide, mile long glass/plexiglass enclosure with a whole lotta gophers that are free to dig. The gophers are free to leave as see fit, as it's just a scheme for me to shrink down and live my days out as a gopher sized human.

I'd fund to have some of my favorite epic book series (say Wheel of Time or Sword of Truth) turned into full movie or TV series, no expense spared, and make sure they are done right.
(For Sword of Truth I'd make the staff watch "Legend of the Seeker" to see exactly what NOT to do. For Wheel of Time I'd have the previous rights holders that created the shitty 'preview' they paid to air on FXX just to force their rights contract to stay alive dropped into the nearest active volcano.)

Digging a small tunnel and 500โ elevator shaft that would allow be to enter my house from the road at the base of the property instead of driving a mile up the mountain to the top. Iโd also likely put a hidden cave halfway up that could only be reached by stopping the elevator at the correct height, and fill it with guns and supplies.
I'd buy a gas station that only worked off of voice commands... But the tech would be really shitty. This would in turn lead to everyone screaming at the pumps in frustration. "Regular"... "Did you say Premium"?.... "REGULAR"!

I would build a big haunted mansion. Then people can rent it for one night, but they're only allowed to go there alone and they mustn't bring anything except the clothes they're wearing and some food/drink. There won't be any actors or something like that, it's just the scary atmosphere and maybe some doors which suddently shut due to the ventilation. There wont be anyone else in a radius of a few kilometers. Of course there'll be surveillance cameras in every room.
They have to visit some checkpoints in the house multiple times during the night. When they succeed they get a cetificate or something like that.
I would buy a house sitting on enough land to build my own ice rink and nano brewery in the back yard. Living in Texas out ground water is entirely too hot so I would route the brine that freezes the ice through a valve that I could use in my heat exchanger at the end of my brew cycle. Man......what a life that would be. If I bought outside city limits I could hunt too.....ok, breaks over, back to work.
Socks. From that point on I would only wear socks once. Virgin socks feel like a cloud caressing your feet. After a wash, theyโre just loose woven cotton, that offer no comfort.
Commission my wife to make jewelry. Commission my art friends to make art. Get my mum her skin removal surgery she really needs. Buy the house on both sides of my landlord's house and play shitty music 24/7.

I would walk into ULTA, grab a bag and impulse buy everything I could fit into that bag without second guessing and putting everything but one item back at the register.
After paying off my house and other responsibilities..of course.
I'd gladly use my PTO today first off. I'd go out tell my girlfriend callout of work too and spend an entire day out for us. Not tell her of the money not tell her of anything, just a great day of us. Nothing is the limit I'd tell her what ever she wants to do I'll pay for it. To end the day just buy a great steak, rice and salad dinner to make at home and just cuddle. Then spend the next days at work then repeat the process, continue living my life as a simpleton who spoils his girlfriend. When she finally asks how I am paying for it all I'll tell her she'll probably slap my chest and scream like Rick Flair when he is almost done with his matches then proceed to talk to me about how I got it. From there I'd gladly give her father the money to retire happily get a transfer from my job to where ever they want to go and we'll move there and live our lives. One day maybe in like another 10 years I'll finally retire from work and just live off the money from working, and of course the billion dollars.

Also, I'd build a nice recording studio in my mansion where I'd spend a lot of my time writing and producing music.
But from there, I'd go on a tour of my favorite restaurants and bars and give each of my favorite servers a life changing amount of tip. (Say...$500k.)

Step 1:
Make sure to not waste anything and save some to have the most comfy life doing jack sh*t.
Step 2:
Get in lessons of all the hobbies I wanted to make and go do sports with top tier equipment. Horse riding, bikes, sword fighting, martial arts, piano, guitar, climbing, parachuting, scuba diving and everything I want. All with only 1 other person who is a professional and will teach me everything, no awkward social interactions, just learning stuff.
Step 3:
Get an amazing small house, with every commodity any rich technician would have. And could act as a fort for the apocalypse. Yards, bunker, pool, a home AI. Everything in a warm ambient in a safe place, with a gaming room for everything.
Oh and guns, John Wick style.
Step 4:
Pets, lots of em.
I want 3 alpacas, no more, no less.
A German Shepherd, and a wolf. Yes, a wolf.
Cute barbed lizards, best petting things you could have.
Oh, and who could forget my noble steed, a brown horse called roach. For my horse riding needs?
Step 5:
Tell everyone to fuck off, then hug em. My worst enemy wants to hit me? Fuck off and hug. With my guards anything is possible.
Step 6:
Start contributing to many associations to help with climate change, world hunger, bees, etc. All the regular.
Then invest in robot limbs to one day change one of mine for those, Deus Ex at its finest.
And genetics to avoid aging, yeah I may die. But better to die having a fit body of a regular adult than an old man with health problems.
This reminds me, investment in vaccines and stuff to not inject them in the future and being an oral stuff, I have a fear for syringes.
Step 7:
Invest and study to get a job that could keep my spending away from my billion dollar left from everything behind. And finding some business another business practice to help increase my money a lot more.
With that money, I will make more money, to live better.
If I ever have children I'll make sure to teach them how to be a good person. And they will live with commodities, but no billion dollar commodities.
It seems extreme, but I'm not an asshole as far as I know and my kids won't be either.
If I ever get a wife of course :(
Tldr;
Make my life as better as possible, and make more money to make it even better
I'd buy a giant warehouse and set up a car restoration shop somewhere in a place like rural Texas and hire enough guys to be able to turn out about 500 high-quality restorations per year. Cars would be taken back to factory and sold at fair market value at an adjacent 'dealership' type building.
I'd take a loss on every car. But who cares? Even blowing through money like this I still couldn't spend it all in my lifetime, it would turn some town around economically, help out the restoration industry, and be great fun test driving all the finished cars.
I'd take my 21 year old beat up piece of crap truck into a shop and say "Restore it and fix it all up, regardless of cost. Add a bunch of extra fancy gadgets too... make it a truck Donald Trump would be impressed by."
New house, decked with everything I've ever wanted in a house: faucet drains that don't smell like sulfur, properly wired ceiling fans that aren't just run off of an extension cord that plugs in to some outlet in the carport shed, a kitchen floor that isn't slightly warped so I can't put down tile (or really anything other than sheet linoleum ...), replace the cracked and buckling driveway cement, chemically burn the front lawn and get rid of all the bermuda grass, reconfigure all the light switches so that they actually do something ... you know--truly extravagant things.
I'd buy a whole neighborhood.. Give my family members (siblings and parents), and close friends that I'd enjoy living near all houses so I'd never have to drive to visit people. Also hire a personal chef and live in house keeper. Yeah. Mama ain't gonna cook or clean anymore.
Then probably invest the rest and live a nice comfortable lifestyle.
Honestly? I think after taking the time to relish in the fact I'm rich I'd probably make a humble home for my parents with a lot of land, create a fund for my 2 brothers, attempt to convince my OMA to move to the states to be with my mother, spend my time living my life to the fullest and try to experience all I can within reason. I'm not necessarily a materialistic woman. I've lived life knowing what its like to live without to know just because I have the opportunity to have that it won't necessarily make things better.
A long time ago me and my friend had an idea of building a monorail track in the city we live in but instead of regular monorail wagons there would be just a small cart with comfy couch so we would be able to ride around city, have some nice views and smoke weed... So I would pursue my dreams and do that.
Mountain fortress in the middle of nowhere that's state of the art inside, but still looks majestic af from the outside. I'm talking about the granite outerwalls with the WiFi extensions.
Then probably an ad campaign towards something worthy...

a full-scale mockup of one of the 2Fort bases from Team Fortress 2. AFAIK, it's been done already on a limited scale, but I'd add a real surveillance room, and "real" sentries in just the right places
I mean I wouldn't consider it a waste.. but after building my perfect house, I'd like to have a lazy river put in the back yard. And a good lazy river, not just a typical "circle." Will have lots of jets and fountain features, and lots of colored lighting... The back yard will also also have a wet bar/bar, and hibachi grill lol and fenced off because those dang kids need to get off my property waves fist

Host a big show with my favorite barbershop quartets, paying each of them a million dollars (perhaps more) to prepare songs of my choice for the show, followed by fantasy quartets of my own design composed of AIC/top ten members. Then donate several million to Harmony Foundation, and buy a lifetime membership in the BHS. Then probably go on a trip around the world to sing with every chorus in the society to give myself some perspective on the barbershop style.

I would buy a new apartment pay the year in full, and then get a new care pay it in full.. and then live my life just like now
Pay off my student loans, then idk...like 20 random people's student loans as well? Set up some interest earning account that pays off a few random people's student loans a year. Altruism out of the way, a chef and cleaning service. Is space X flights a thing yet? If so, that.
Finally 2 chicks at the same time.
I'd buy a huge piece of land and build huge nice homes for family and a few friends to live in. We'd be able to do all kinds of cool things to do together, like travel, all on me.
Also, I'd build a nice recording studio in my mansion where I'd spend a lot of my time writing and producing music.
I would pay someone to wash and style my hair and do my makeup daily. Vapid sounding, I know, but having your hair washed and styled feels amazing and I would love not to worry about doing my own makeup.

I would wait one or two months, then set everything back except keeping atheism the default would stay.

Trip to wherever I feel like going. With whomever of my friends and family I feel like taking. Then, on to the next wherever with people in my life whoโd enjoy that place. :).
Hawaii
Paris
Australia
Greece
China
These are some of the places Iโd go. In style, of course :)
Honestly, I'd buy a NASCAR team or start my own or something like that. And then be the driver for at least a few races. Shit would be awesome. How would I continually fund it? Probably buy a bunch of dealerships or something.
I am Cuban born living in the US, i would orchestrate a guerrilla war in Cuba to overthrow the cuban dictatorship and if successful, convert the governmenti to a democracy based system. This was my great grandmothers dream and I would love to do it.

Assuming I now have enough money for "fuck you" money, I am going to deliver 3 semi loads of printer paper to my majors department head. They told the students we were no longer allowed to print due to budget cuts. I am going to solve that problem.
I'd build a small fortress of a home on the west coast.
A sweet gaming computer built into a hardcover protective case. With batteries. Basically like a big laptop. And some ex-military guy to carry it around behind me.
I don't really want much. Just to play computer games and not pay rent. Maybe I'd have the computer case be made of gold or something, for laughs.

My college tuition, largest bill right now, and it would be great to cross that off...
I very much like where I live, and while I wouldn't mind moving some short distances, in order to afford anything remotely approaching my own place I'd have to move pretty far right now.
So, with the sudden influx of money the first thing I would do is purchase a nearby lot that has been empty and abandoned for the past... 10 years at least, and I would then proceed to take all the steps necessary to turn it into a 6+ story building with 2 floors of commercial space (likely resulting in 4-8 store spaces, at least 2 of which I would want to be A.) a gaming store and B.) a food item story (likely esoteric and hard to acquire ingredients for the foodie crowd)), and 4+ floors of luxury condo space. The roof would have an open garden predominantly made of shade loving plants to make up for the fact that it will also have the densest solar coverage I can put on it. In truth this is mostly so I can have a proper brick oven for breads and pizzas...
ANYWAY! because that endeavor would be mostly in self interest (and the interest of my friends), and would be a kinda silly expense (like $100 million or so), I would also want to make sure I was doing good with my money as well, so I would specifically seek out other areas in need of construction and try to design low income housing with 2 primary things in mind 1.) reducing maintenance costs and 2.) self sufficiency. So They would be nice apartments built to require as little maintenance as possible (even if this is much more expensive when building them), and hopefully get all it's power from low maintenance renewables built into the building, as well as be designed to be cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter. Roughly the idea being, pleasant, comfortable places to live at fairly low rent, that have utilities included and are still a sustainable model. I'd consider this money written off, and keep the rent as low as possible so it just covered things like taxes and insurance, not looking to make a profit off the property.
I'm a fool, I'm sure my money and I would part quickly... Though I have to say I'd likely attach about $2 million to each of the luxury condos to just be put away to accrue interest that can hopefully cover any taxes on it, so at least I'd have a place to live in roughly perpetuity.

Buy my local politicians and make sure they start acting in their citizens best interests.
Buying my sister a house and making sure my parents don't need to work. Then making my startup and selling it so I don't have to work. Then making a restaurant on the beach.
I think I'd buy a nice motorcycle and just travel around the world. Long-way-round style, but by myself because I don't need to rely on a team of people when I can just buy services for my bike as I traverse the planet.
Then I'll come back home, set up some accounts and small businesses to diversify my income, build an underground cabin in the woods/mountains, and use it as a springboard/homebase for humanitarian and philanthropic work because after my survival/comfort needs are met, I don't see the need for excessive funds like that.
I would buy one of those big vacation houses on the beach..ya know, the ones with 8-10 bedrooms, and multiple stories. That way my kids would never have a reason to move out.

Pick a ugly, blighted neighborhood and make it over into a green tree city like the kind I grew up in without kicking out residents. Also fund the school until it was On par with the best. Then see what happens. I believe we need to provide ecosystems for humans. How cool to be able to try out some ideas. No lead in water, urban small farms, vertical greenhouses, solar and geothermal, buried utilities lines, halve the housing and creat clusters with open green surrounding, free daycare and tutoring, art and craft center, music center, until I have spent it all but enough to retire on then move in and work as a teachers aid in the awesome science lab the great school would have. What A blast to try out some ideas of what I think a healthy town does for children. The most extravagant nursery/garden/rehabilitation /rescue center ever built. I would travel a little too. Lol You said billionaire, but you did not say how many billions, but I would try like hell to spend it all before I died.

Buy a house in the middle of nowhere away from people. Have it be a fort style thing but just enough space so it's efficient not big. Have a huge bathtub so I can still do what I do now which is take baths and procrastinate and think, drift away. I would also make a rain shower on the whole ceiling of a steam shower. Have a sauna and hot tub get away room. I like my alone time very much.
I wouldn't work. I would just do things online and do maybe little side things. Just like I do now except I would be a billionaire and never have to worry about money or how to live paycheck to paycheck.
I am already content with myself and pretty at one so the money would not corrupt me. I don't care for having power tbh. I just want to live my life and want my things and that's it.
Depends on your currency. A billion rupiah isn't worth enough for what I want to do. Lets say a billion USD. Half a billion goes into a long term interest account managed by some kind of fund manager. The interest will pay off my living expenses so I can do what I want to do without interruption. The other half goes into buying large apartments and houses around the city center, renovation and management to run a private housing scheme to house homeless people. Would probably need to hire a smart person to manage everything and also refine the idea but that's what I would do if I were a fraction of Bill Gates.
I live in a small town with a "downtown" built in the early 1900's. I would build a sky scraper as tall as allowed and put my name on it like a Trump tower. All jokes aside, the view would be incredible.
Getting a high school diploma. Not dumb was just angry as fuck all the time. Gotta do it for my mama.

I would buy a nice big patch of land in Colorado, somewhere on the way to Estes Park, but not quite so high up (so the altitude thing wasn't as much of an issue). I want somewhere with a gorgeous view of a valley and some mountains. I'd buy the valley too.
Then, on this patch of land looking over a valley, I would build a home that was a replica of the apartment from Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC, with the giant glass wall looking out over the valley. I'd make a few small modifications to the floorplan, mainly to expand it and add some new features, as well as adding a 5-car garage and all the outdoor comforts such as swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, etc.
I'd then pay to have fiber-optic internet connections set up, as well as installing Tesla's home batteries and a solar panel array on the roof. Similarly, I'd tap into the natural water spring that I made sure was nearby so that fresh water is constantly available, and while the water is fresh and clean to begin with, I'd still insist on a purification system being installed in case the water source becomes contaminated at some point.
And boom. I'd have the perfect retreat that has its own water and electricity needs covered, a blazing fast connection to the outside world for when I want to use the internet, and all the comforts of a lavish, modern home with the breathtaking views and charm of the wild mountains.
Iโd purchase my own steam locomotive and period rail cars. Travel the world with it (even shipping it overseas so I could take it across Europe, Asia, Russia, etc.)
I like the idea of owning a hobby farm and canning and preserving, but I donโt actually like gardening or hard work in general. So I would buy a hobby farm, pay someone else to do the actual growing and tending; pick the recipes myself, but pay someone else to do the actual canning and preserving and pickling; and then claim everything is homemade by myself.
I'd hire a symphony orchestra to follow me around twenty four seven playing the soundtrack to my life.

Give every US citizen 1 million dollars. And watch the shitstorm in the economy. Assuming we got 350ish million people. I still have a fuck ton of money left.
This won't exactly qualify for 'extravagant', but imma share it anyway. I wouldn't tell anyone, and make sure only my lawyer does. I would keep it all safely away, accumulating interest.
I'd try to lead the most normal life. Go to university(not in US), work a part time job and study. If there's even a small hole in my finances, I would fill it up, but otherwise, I'd try not to touch it.
Make friends, become a functional adult and grow up. Then, if a family member/friend genuinely needs help, I'll send them a good amount of money discreetly and in such a way that they don't know who the sender is.
Someone has cancer and their spouse needs help financially? Boom, you can rest moneywise and focus emotionally on your loved one. Behind on rent and utilities and almost about to crash after doing a crap ton of part time work because you can't find a real job? Boom, have some cash, give yourself a break.
Oh and as far as my life goes, I'd pursue a job which I like. Shitty boss who thinks that I depend on the money of the job I am in and I would do anything to not get fired? Welp, dumbass, take my damn resignation. Oh and if I do get married, I wouldn't tell my wife either.
It's like living a normal life, but without half the anxiety.
Tl;dr: Live a normal life and give money to those who really need it without revealing to them that I am a billionaire.
This is tricky cause I don't really care much for extravagance of lavishness, but these are some things that would be expensive:
I'd travel the world. I haven't traveled much at all in the past decade, and only left the country a couple of times, so I'd like to do a world tour spending like a week in each city I come to. Probably bring several friends with me.
I'd also buy a Subdivision. like a small one, with 10-20 houses. Rent them to people, give big discounts to my friends. put a park or garden in there with some dope stuff.
Manufacture ways to hang out with celebrities. Invite them randomly to dinner or something. I've met a few at cons and such but like a 2 second handshake is kinda weak. I'd like to hang out with these people in a realistic human setting. Have a real human conversation about whatever. I don't want to pressure them into it, either, I just want to invite them to hang out if they'd like. I dunno, some people just seem like cool people to hang out with.
Not really extravagant, or lavish, but definitely money. Wait, scratch all that, I just thought of something: I'd hire a cook to recreate every food item from any TV show Bryan Fuller ever made.
I would close down the biggest amusement park for a weekend and shuttle kids from all over the city who could normally not afford it and let them own the park for the weekend including unlimited food and candy. I would also hire performers, clowns, music etc.

Nothing lavish. Iโd invest half and donate the other half to charity. Then, spend my days working on becoming a top 500 reaper in over watch. What a life.
I would soon grow tired of conventional extravagance. Following the unsettling tales promising fabulous and unnameable power, I'd spend the rest of the money on swarthy workmen and sturdy shovels to unearth the damned portal of antediluvian evil.
And in the end, I would be the only one to escape that realm of death and madness, laughing and wailing through those blackened arcades of antiquity.
I'd build a mall the way malls were supposed to be. Housing, grocery, and other shops and services in one massive building. It would have a park! Like a small town in one building.
I would find whoever managed to buy this $105 mil Colorado land with a couple of 14ers included and convince them to sell it to me. Then Iโll convert a small protected portion of it (6k+/- out of 85k+) into a massive haven for cats from kill shelters that are going to be put down and other places, like craigslist posts from irresponsible owners. Iโll hire vets and staff to make sure all the free-roaming cats Iโve rescued are taken care of. I want it to be like Cat House on Kings but on a bigger scale. Iโll also reach out to as many rescue groups as I can and help them with funding if they need it
I would buy a ton of land lay down some train tracks in one continuous loop around the property. Then Iโd buy a train with several cars make a house out of it and live in it as it slowly loops around the property. Finally I would have Lucas lagoon come up and build me my own water world
Buy pizza hut, and give my buddies that work there a 15$ raise per hour.

Buy people's companies and fire them. Then buy my friends companies and fire them so we can party. Then buy me and all my friends sports car and race around.
I get a beautiful new JEEP with all the trimmings. Were talking fog lights, pull bar, winch, Extravagantly big rock tires, a lift kit to reach the moon, etc..
Iโd ask all my close guy friends how much money it would take for them to let me design a tattoo for them and get it immediately. Once they set their price, Iโd present the cash and a devilish grin.

If we're not talking about necessities (such as housing which I would be getting my hands on my grandparents' former home), getting my family out of debt (no more student loans, no more owing money on my parents'/other grandparents' house), investments, and charity, I'd get my hands on a Cherry Red 67 Convertible Firebird. That thing is my dream car and last time I checked (a year ago) they were going for about 25 grand. In fact, I could spend all of that money on the above (barring the investments) as well as restore my current car, buy my previous two cars and restore them, and buy the properties my family used to own (a home on the south side of town, a home on the east side of town, two homes in the middle of town) and restore all of them and barely scratch 2% of that.
Well, Iโve promised myself that if I ever get really filthy stinking rich, Iโll have someone build a fullscale spitfire for me, using more modern materials and tech to make it more dureable and safer, but with the exact look, feel and sound of a real ww2 spitfire
Shit... probably just a really nice place for myself and my boyfriend... I'd have to have a hot tub.... No questions asked lol!!! Winter is coming and I need to stay warm here in Canada haha. And just a nice car!

I would buy land in some usually sunny location in the countryside, prefreably in California or Colorado. There I would build my dream home. Most impotantly would pay for fiber internet to be piped to the location. Next I would build a solar array and sufficent battery storage so I could sustain the property and even sell back extra power in times of excess. I would also have green houses and/or fields growing various friuts and vegetables and of course a few plants of marijuana. As far a house on the property, I only have one specific requirement, a rooftop hot tub, so I can get in it at night and gaze at the stars.
Property. Then PermaCulture the hell out of it. Livestock, farm foods, small off-grid home. The rest would be reinvested into ensuring my retirement for the next 60 years.

Then wed all go for a nice drive in our personal cars of choice (anything from classics to hyper cars to luxury or even race cars)
And after that, well fly to my personal tropical paradise island and have a party with huge ammounts of high class escorts and (soft) drugs on the beach and then transition onto the yacht as it gets late. Where we will continue partying with live music from our favorite musicians (and kanye west just cuz)

Wasting it all on the person I've just fallen in love with. Seeing them, taking them around the world. Every fucking experience I can. But being able to afford to hold their hand for as long as I wanted right now and whenever I wanted to with no repercussion. That's what I'd do with that money.
A Billion is a lot of dollars. I'd probably build my dream library -- 2 stories, floor to ceiling bookshelves, a balcony on the second level, and good enough acoustics to turn it into a small chamber music venue. The rest of my dream home is very manageable -- except for perhaps the greenhouse/aviary.

Buy some Thai food at a nice restaurant and go on a date with my wife for the first time in like a year (we like each other still, we just can't afford extra nice things like dates).
Most lavish thing: buy a house, a really nice house.
Iโd pay someone to make my sea monkeys fucking come to live and my tamogotchi stay alive. It was a source of great frustration as a kid and I want to see it succeed.
I'd love to buy a motorhome someday... As a billionaire, I could buy a really fancy one...
Also, as a ham radio operator I find myself considering just exactly how much money I would spend on radio equipment for my hobby.
If I had the money to blow, I could probably easily spend $10,000 or $20,000 on top of the line, brand new ham radio equipment.
Edit: I could see myself spending the money philanthropically, too. Buy school supplies for kids in my home state, maybe pay off every kid's lunch debt in the country. Build a better house for my parents; they deserve it. I mean, we're talking billionaire here, not just millionaire.

Because I've been reading a lot of end of the world type books, I'd buy every thing I'd need for the end of the world. Big ass house inside a mountain, hidden from everyone...
Also I'd pump money into nano technology, and become Jake 3.0...
Buy a tropical island, turn it into a resort, staff it with high end escorts who have other skills, or people willing to bang clients for money, and open as a sex holiday destination.

I'd buy a high school. One of the fancy private ones that has a pool and lots of land out in the countryside with dorms and stuff. I'd turn it into the punkiest commune. Live here and work for your room and board type deal. I would add a horse stable, pot farm, and maybe a kink club type deal in the auditorium.
Personal dream.

I would buy my childhood home that my uncle sold my falsifying my moms signature after my grandparents died. I would restore it to how it was when I was a child, and I would just move back there.
I'd like a big but not extravagant house, just lots of space and rooms, not extra fancy. Then I'd like to assign all the extra rooms to random shit and hobbies. Gaming room, music room, arts room, gym, rec room...
My billionaire fantasy is apparently just moderately wealthy person fantasy....fuck it same thing but at the top of a mountain.

Iโd build a huge modern mansion, super safe with guards and everything. Then build an underground garage that could store 100s of cars and bikes. (I saw this on TV once)
Solid platinum 35mm d20.
35mm d20 diamond d20 backup just because.
Rudpby d10/100. Emerald d12. Jade d8. Black Pearl d6.
Uranium d4 because fuck you this die is going to kill you is why.
I'd buy up a fleet of shitty beater cars off craigslist and install them with roll cages then buy an airfield and just drive them into the ground and crash them for fun.
I've thought about this a few times before. I would buy a corner shop/small convenience store, and call it "I'm an arsehole". Every item would be really expensive. Not expensive luxury items though. A can of baked beans for ยฃ389.99. Frosties are four hundred quid a packet. Bottle of milk? ยฃ9k. But the price tags would be really small, so people would come in an pick up a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread (ยฃ4 million) in the morning, take it to the checkout, and then I'd laugh at their shocked faces when the price popped up on the register.
"That's ridiculously expensive!"
"Yep. If you can't afford the items please place them back on the shelf and fuck off."
I'd Nic Cage that bitch and buy a castle in Scotland (I don't know where he bought his, but that's where I am buying mine).
I would make sure to make it self-sufficient with solar panels, a food source that is can replenish itself, and more than likely live in solitude within my own fort.
Buy two plots of land. Demolish both houses. Build a super house. Have a super basement. Build a moat around super house. Have 4 pitbulls. 2 males. 2 females. Have them breed. Have puppers grow into doggos and have them breed. Have a house with super doggos. Feed them nothing but the best food. Work out with doggos. Go running with doggos. Become a super doggo trainer

I would legit hire someone to follow this guy who done me dirty years ago, constantly clipping his heels so he trips up. and when he turns around just stare at him blankly in the face.
I know this may be lame since it isn't lavish, nor a waste, but I would honestly immediately launch a multi-million dollar project to research effective homelessness / mental health rehabilitation, and fund the creation of facilities, counseling teams, and housing grant program so that everyone in my metro area has somewhere to go for help if they are homeless or struggle with mental health.
...and then I'd build a home LAN center with a bunch of gaming PCs and VR headsets for me and my friends lol

I would buy and build the biggest fucking computer that I possible could. Like, gigantic server. I would use it to rent out as a dedicated server for some games that I really like just to help improve it. I would also set aside some of its power for me to game too- imagine, playing on your own server with a direct wired connection (say, 1GB/s speeds?) with like 1-2 ping. 0 lag. A gigantic 32K monitor setup, record it, and shove that right in Linusโ face.
Donating the money to animal shelters and environmental groups. I'd keep a little for myself and parents to live comfortably (not lavishly). Probably quit my job and help out said shelters and groups.
I would spend every cent of it on making my nevergame RPG idea the best reality I can possibly make it and scrap my 8 years of starting over because I got better and can't stand my old work, and finally get it finished, then kill myself.
I'd pay off my debt, my friends' debts, and those of 2 young relatives. Then I'd retire on a warm island with whatever's left before my other relatives find out about my windfall.
I would randomly start paying off peopleโs debts. Just regular people I ran into throughout the day. Like maybe a server at a restaurant or a random nice person I ran into. I would just be like โsend me your car, House, student loan payments and whatever else you have and Iโll take care of โem.โ Have a nice day.
Probably finding a way to remodel, or tear down, eyesore architecture where I live while also making things more walkable & bikable overtime. Another might be permaculture & clean energy projects to help make healthy foods cheaper.
Obligatory bills/debts/savings/investment stuff first. Then, for the extravagant stuff, I would probably get a nice large t-bone steak that doesn't skimp on either side. Some potatoes, vegetables, and probably something else would be my sides. Then, a trip to a few amusement parks and some scenic places near me. Finally, a day or two of some nice high-desert camping.
Nice houses for everyone in my family somewhere that doesn't get snow this early. Probably not particularly lavish houses, more the act of buying many houses just for shits and dinks.
I would love to have an epic treasure hunt. For a billionaire, it would be nothing to stash away like $10million. That's enough money for people to dedicate their lives to finding. I'd hide clues all over, plant red herrings, leave little pockets of $1,000 here and there as mini-game rewards. The main prize would be hidden away in like some old Canadian fishing cabin only accessible by ice road or boat and even then you'd have to have found the correct place on the property to dig AND have the key (and know how to use it) that unlocks the vault. I'd structure the whole thing as much like a video game as possible. I figure total investment including the necessary staff, land purchases, construction, fabrication of artifacts...$50million. So afterward I'd be a $950millionaire. Worth it. Especially since the first clue will require all searchers to wear a gopro and record their journey (it won't ever come up again, but they won't chance it and will record it anyway.)
Then i'm going to edit together everyone's footage and all the adventures and make a movie. Back to billionaire.
I'd go back to my old public high school in rural Tennessee. Its theatre program currently gets no funding (they have to fundraise themselves) because all the school district's money goes to sports. I would build the theatre program a brand new facility complete with shops, offices, dressing rooms, fly house, expensive consoles, gear, and staff TD/ME/designers to show the kids how to work on everything and help out with productions. Employ them year-round, plus some office staff to book concerts and the like over the summer. Offer students summer work part-time learning rigging, lighting, etc. Pour whatever money is left into a grant program to pay staff salaries for the next few decades. Show everyone (kids, admin, teachers) just how lucrative and varied the performing arts can be, and why it's a more sound investment for kids' futures than goddamn football.
Oh, and I'd set aside a chunk for the current teacher. Bump her salary up to what she deserves (she does just about everything technical for the program, directs every show, and orchestrates fundraising for no extra pay), and secure her a cushy retirement fund. She's worked her tail off for over a decade getting a shitty salary and no appreciation - just for the kids, just because she loves the art. I don't know anyone who deserves it more.
TL;DR: I'd fund the shit out of the theatre program at my old public school, to show them how awesome and lucrative the performing arts can be.
I would buy and fully restore 4 houses on the National Register of Historic Places, give 1 each to my mom, brother, and best friend, then continue to pay all associated costs while living in the fourth.

I'd buy all the land behind my Mom's house and turn it into a public MX/ATV Track with walls and a dome roof, larger than the biggest football stadium...
I'd also buy a helicopter and learn to fly it (paid lessons) and fly myself anywhere I need to go that has a helipad. I'd have a new house built with a helipad off the master bedroom.
I would buy the nicest golf course in my area and keep it running as is, except completely private for just my friends and family and I that play golf. No more slow rounds, no more booking tee times. Just show up and play whenever I feel like.
Late to the party, but I figured I would chuck my answer in here:
1- My house. It would require purchasing some land, somewhere, close enough to a large metro area, but far enough away that I'm not dealing with "city issues". The house would be rediculous, but not gross. 4 car garage, and above the garage a home gym and Dojang. A library room. And a dedicated gaming room, likely in the basement, with consoles, multiple networked PC's, a nice gaming table, all with extra sound proofing so my wife doesn't have to hear gaming happening.
2- Trust funds for my kids, and a few other kids, mostly my friends kids. My brothers kids too.
3- Establish a fund that would pay for all children in my community to be able to attend college in state at no expense to them. Sign up, send paperwork in, the fund pays all your tuition, books, and a modest living expense until you get your degree.
Convince someone to sell me their/any top of the line hypercar i.e. McLaren F1, LaFerrari, Konesiegg (however you spell it) Agera.
Take it to the Nurburgring. Hope not to die.

Also bulldogs, all the bulldogs money can buy to fill the emptiness in my lonely billionaire heart. And bitches. Loads of bitches. Boats and hoes fam.
Pagani zonda r, and my own replica of laguna seca race track, with addition courses added in, and a life sized g1 soundwave statue welcoming people to it.
An Aston Martin db9. That's it. I have no need for a mansion or a private jet or any if that. Just a comfortable home in the city I love and the ability to not worry about my future finances. But that aston Martin. Gonna stick my dick in the tailpipe.
I would either found or partner with animal rescues and make adoptions, neuters, and spays free. Everywhere. I would also have a huge ranch and have scores of dogs, cats, horses, goats, chickens, guineas, etc. All rescues.
Fully restored gumball green metallic 1970-1973 AMC Gremlin X with a 302 V8, Leviโs denim interior, 4 speed on the floor! Not at all โextravagantโ, but itโs something Iโve always wanted.
I would buy the crappy movie theater in town and put recliner chairs in it. And then have throw back Tuesday with older movies for cheaper ticket prices and free admission for seniors. Because I'd own the place and could.

I would buy out all of the decrepit buildings in my city, and either fix them up into single family homes, or level them and make mini-parks that are a square of grass with a picnic bench, canopy and in-ground grill. I would then donate those to the city, while the houses I would sell to middle class people who can afford them at a discount (as opposed to what my city is doing - reserving them for lower class people too poor to actually afford house + maintenance). The intent in this case would be to draw people with money back to the city.
I would do the same with downtown, giving the building for free to businesses that wish to move out of the local mall and back to the downtown area.
My city's downtown was wiped out after a flood in 1972. Most businesses moved to a mall just outside the city and killed the city itself, for the most part.

First and foremost, quit my fucking job. Start my own skincare and makeup artistry business. Open second location in Colorado so I can invest in CBD skincare. Restore a 1967 GTO for my dad. Restore a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Aire convertible for myself. Brand new Cadillac for my mom. Purchase houses in New Jersey, New York, LA, and Colorado. Hire Mario Dedivanovic as my personal makeup artist. Hire Action Bronson as my personal chef and blunt roller. Hang out with Snoop Dogg, Halsey and Jennifer Lawrence all the time. Go shopping with Kim Kardashian (I just feel like that woman knows how to shop, you know?). Be a producer on a Richard Linklater movie. Start second company that coordinates comic book, video game and cosplay conventions. Take money made from businesses, donate half to charities of my choice, and invest the other half so that my future spawn will have nice nest eggs. sigh One can dream.

For you see, I became allergic to cheese about 8 years ago. All other dairy is okay including cream cheese, yogurt, etc. But now if I eat as much as 3 bites from a slice of pizza I'll be vomiting in about 15 minutes.
Now I'm not out for revenge on the whole cheese eating world, but just my friends, who, after all this time, STILL make the goddamn "OH AND A PIZZA WITH EXTRA CHEESE FOR DCOBLE" comment every time we order food... Sons. Of. Bitches. I'd have my sweet revenge, and I would bask. BASK!!!!

Sounds stupid, but I would go out to eat at places like Chillis, Applebees, IHop....etc, and I would ask every waiter I have what they would want to be/do with their life if money was no object. If I believe they are passionate about their answer I would pay my bill and leave a check behind, in their name, with an amount I believe would cover everything they needed (rent for a couple of years, bill coverage, schooling, materials, etc) for the next few years.
If they had a business idea I could get behind I would ask them if they needed a partner. I would pay them a wage till the business was profitable and I would cover all the costs of running the business. I would make us 50/50 partners.
If they wanted to pay for medical bills of a loved one, or something like that, I would cover the cost and I would throw a but extra in to help alleviate the stress in their life.
I think it would be a blast helping people who end up getting over looked a lot.

Honestly, the answer would be a fuck ton of small things.
A billion dollars can get you like 5 mansions, OR infinite small purchases. Eat out every day, buy every video game, new TV and computer, all those cool gadgets I want off amazon but have no use for.
As long as you don't spend hundreds of millions on a single thing, you can just live buying stupid shit forever.

I'd buy a house in the city. Then I'd buy a home for a each of a few friends and loved ones, just so they could live a life mortgage and rent free.
Then I'd start a local program for the unemployed, homeless and at risk.
I've been homeless, although not street homeless. It's rubbish, and the challenges are often simple, and not the things you think. So the program would teach some basic skills that it's easy to miss, such as basic computer literacy. It would also provide temporary housing, so you have an address to use when applying for jobs. It would then provide interview training, basic office attire, haircuts etc. Childcare would also be involved.
The idea is it would get a person to a point where they are able to apply for, get and hold down a job, pay bills and live.
I'd also buy a lot of guitars and drums that I can barely play.

Or, it might be a scam, so "waste some money" ("some) being relative to a billion-ish dollars) is still relevant.

A nice new volvo, a new apartment with a memory foam mattress, a stocked fridge and Iโd pay off my tuition/loans. Then Iโd reduce my hours at work so I could actually pass my classes. SO LAVISH
Pay off the damn student loans first thing.
Itโs sad that at 40 thatโs the first thing that comes to mind!
Then Iโll set up my parents in an enormous, staffed estate so they can quit their jobs and enjoy their grandkidsโor not. Haha. Iโd buy my dad nice hearing aids.
So much travel.
Hire a companion for my elderly dog so she is never alone and always has someone to throw her ball (she would be stressed if she had to leave home every day with me). Our new home would have ample floor to ceiling windows so she can bark at squirrels to her heartโs content.
There are so many people Iโd want to secretly surprise with gifts of...whatever they need. Iโll need a PI to find out what would make their lives better!!
Bear with me on this: I would put together a list of my all-time top 100 movies; buy them all in the highest digital quality possible; buy the nicest largest laptop on the market; buy the best noise-cancelling headphones; download the movies to the laptop; buy enough back-to-back "round the world" first class air fares to watch all the movies and nights at 5 star hotels between each leg; and then just relax in globe trotting aerial-cinematic opulence for a few weeks before returning to my normal(ish) life with a preposterous amount of frequent flyer miles.

I'd buy the Atlanta Braves and sign Bryce Harper and Manny Machado when they hit free agency
I would but the 8-plex I live, let my neighbors stay rent free till the end of their current lease, pay the city to rezone as single family, add a third story, a breezeway above the garages to the other side of the building, and remodel the entire building. I don't currently have a need for 8 garages, but if I were a billionaire...

I'd pay for ridiculous amounts of ecosystem restoration and a film crew to follow it all. I'm from Oklahoma, so I'd probably buy tons of cheap land, promote prairie restoration and then put giant boardwalks above the space, so people could visit and be amazed.

I'd buy a plane and take ten million or so dollars to go make it rain.
And they I'd buy tons of gifts for people I care about and pay of their everything. Then I'd pretend to be that idiot that puts all of their money into the lottery hoping for more, but really I'd just keep my wealth hidden, and I'd live off of it for the rest of my life.
Sure, I'd have a personal chef. That's nothing new. I might be the only billionaire that also has a personal food-fetcher. Like, this guy's only job would be to run out to restaurants and stuff when I want junk food. Yeah, I know uber eats is a thing now. That's part of why it's so wasteful.

I'd create a well stocked film studio. Nice 4k cameras, full editing bay, green screen room, etc. I can do with very little but I'd kill to have my own top notch studio.
I would immediately pay off the student loans for all of my law school classmates (graduated during the recession and many are still struggling). I know, not really technically "lavish," but my 100% honest answer.
I would like to get my own "evil lair" private island. Like something out of a James Bond movie. Can I pick up a formerly used one for a fixer-upper project? Or can I try something out on airbnb?
I love to scuba dive so I'd buy a huge boat, employ all the people needed to run it and live on it months at a time while traveling to the best dive spots around the world.

I want an 84 cutlass supreme painted candy green with peanut butter seats and wood grain in the dash, gold wire rims and when you pop trunk thereโs a neon sign that says โwe want the funkโ
Iโd buy 2 fur coats (one for me, one for my dog) and go buy $20,000 Worth of iced-out jewelry. Then weโd go to McDonalds, buy 6 chicken nuggets, eat 3 and throw the rest out the window cause weโve got โdonโt give a fuck moneyโ
2 things: New socks every single day. I would find out what NPR needs for 10!years so they can quit their goddamn membership drives and I can listen to pretentious folk Afro Korean fusion in peace.
if I woke up as a billionaire and I just get to "waste" money on stupid shit like yachts and cars and shoes that other billionaires make? no thanks i'd rather use it to end the world or something meaningful
If it has to be considered a waste, then a wardrobe update because I seriously need one. Not need as in to live, obviously, but I have a lot of stuff that doesn't fit right anymore or has damage (those items I would repair if possible). Doesn't do to be uncomfortable in ill fitting clothes or to look kinda shabby versus wearing a really small selection of the same shit all the time and for limited types of occasion (all my smart office wear is too small now and I don't really have any formal wear at all).
If I personally don't consider it a waste then I'd pay off all my debts (big for me now but tiny if I were that rich) and buy my parents some land on which I would commission their dream home. It would be a very extravagant purchase but to me is not a waste at all. They deserve it.

Whatever house my wife wanted, then build a Bag End style Hobbit hole in the back yard. I'd probably build a house in the back yard for my personal sushi chef too. Not to mention, I'd buy all the Legos and help produce the next star wars movie so I could guarantee myself a small part.
I would give my mom money for being my personal in home chef. No matter what chef you bring they will not be able to satisfy me like my moms homecooking..
Lot's of people wont like this but I would find an area in the far suburbs where they were planning on building a catholic church and instead pay to have an old one from a nearby city that was no longer being used and have it dismantled brick by brick and rebuilt where it was needed.
I absolutley hate seeing old churches being torn down. I am not super religous but I know that those beautiful old churches were built by people who thought they would be there forever and put a lot of time and effort into making them stunning structures. New ones are kind of bland (as is most modern architecture).
I would be custom building my own playboy mansion. I would have an indoor water park, bowling alley, roller skating rink, trampoline park and anything else I could think of.
A house with a fully equipped wood/fabrication shop and sewing room. Shop would be bigger than the house with a full sized lathe, bandsaw, basically every power tool my high school shop had plus a spray booth for painting/finishing. Sewing room would have pretty much all my sewing stuff in it but floor to ceiling shelving to hold all my supplies and finished projects.
I'd pay off my student loans! It may not seem a big deal but that bill holds me back and stresses out my life. It gone would be the best way I could lavish myself.
I'd buy a 6-7 bedroom house, which is under 300k here. I'd have a room dedicated to a beefy computer, a room with a HUGE bed, like 2 California kings attached to each other, and a room dedicated to my cat.
I was just saying thatโs interesting. I live in Austin and the cheapest of those house here would be 600k easily. Maybe itโs cause thereโs not as much people in Wisconsin
Hmm.. It could be because I'm at least an hour and a half from any big city. I think a house in Milwaukee would probably be quite a bit more, or in Madison.
I'd book a family vacation all over the world - stay in amazing hotels and really just be ridiculously pampered for a few months while seeing new and amazing places and learning about different cultures.
I would run for president and have the most ridiculous campaign money could buy. I would create as many conspiracy theories as I could. I would have a makeup artist make it look like Iโm really a lizard person whoโs makeup is coming off on a small part of my face. I would buy a private jet and have it spray something harmless to get the chemtrail people. It would be so much fun.
I'd go buy my best friends apartment complex and kick him and only him out. He will be homeless for a couple weeks until I start to feel bad and let him back into his shitty apartment. Only to find all of his things replaced with cheese
I'm stupid and probably have a Jesus complex. I would start a bunch of nonprofits to help pay off student loans, housing for the poor, go to Puerto Rico and actually help, bring back after school programs and start low cost gyms in rural and urban areas. :/
I guess i would have a fancy dinner too at some point.
First I would buy a large plot of land in the outskirts of my city, have a pair of architects design me a house.
Get a butler, a pair of maids, and a personal chef, get them a van so they can go back and forth to buy stuff.
Hire a team of game programmers and designers, get them several computers and whatever they need. Have them make me a single player game and constantly update it with new content.
Make a gym in said new house and hire a personal trainer.
But a city block in the central area of the city, take down everything and build a new structure there, move my stores into a single place.

A small castle in Scotland. i think you can buy one for as little as ยฃ300,000. Assuming it would take a few million to fix up, I could live like a king.
I'd buy some Capybara. A nice big plot of land for them with all the things they need, and just give them the lives of kings. I want to do this anyway but it doesn't seem to be an easy task :(

Organize massive rallies for issues that don't exist. Like cigs inside.
I love how, when you wander around Europe, there are various castle ruins on miscellaneous hilltops or buried in the forest. North America is seriously lacking in crumbling stone ruins.
So I'd buy land in various places around the country without building codes and build stone castles using ancient methods, just so I could abandon them to the ages.

I'd do something really retarded, Keep like 10 mill for drugs and hookers and the rest of the billions I would use to stimulate local economy with like 100 year plans of farms around the world that produce food to countries in need so they have atleast something for 100 years and maybe by then enough people will invest in the idea so that it can continue and spread to more poor places in the world like Africa etc, ofcourse this accompanied by water and ways to get some permanent clean water supplies or for as long as my billions last, then after I spend all my billions I go on TV and call out everyone on the Quote 500 to be an absolute greedy cunt if they don't do the same, now I still have 10 mil for the lawsuits and I'm not going to live long with all the hookers and drugs anyway, Damn I would be a great billionaire.
My mom has always been there for me, sheโs a great lover of the arts and encouraged me to pursue work in the creative field. I would buy her a house with a private collection of Van Gogh and some of her other favorite artists :).

One escort would be on all 4s on a skate board bent over with a tooth brush in her butt sticking at bristles facing me. Two other escorts would then push the skate board back and forth to simulate the motion of brushing. I would just need the brush to stick out enough to reach my mouth as I move my head to get all of my teeth, all the while having that marvelous ass bump up against my face every time we pass.

Land, idk where but maybe Colorado. I'd have my own shooting range, house, probably a shop to start woodworking or blacksmithing, I'd make a track to longboard on, pond for fishing, maybe a horse, some dogs. That'd be perfect. It's either that or I'd finally have the money to pay for the full (deluxe) edition of my favorite video games.

A vast tract of land, upon which I would construct (in total secrecy) a set of entirely realistic fake ruins of a made-up ancient civilization, with all techniques and work done to match the real techniques, cultures, and styles of the people of that era and location. Then I would fill it with real treasures and traps, and bury/abandon it for the rest of my life, only leaving some vague hints in my dying words or will of the existence of "something strange" I saw on my land.

I would somehow start my own country and call myself Master. Then start annexing our neighboring land and promote myself to King. Once I have a vast empire I'd promote myself once again to Emperor.
We'd be self reliant on renewable energy sources, which would be also our #1 export but we also have the ability to have these technologies self destruct on our command somehow, though I haven't thought that far ahead yet.

Iโd give it to our local school district, with the stipulation that teacher salaries go up and the โno child left behindโ shit is gone for good.
Then, Iโd have stipulations about how the money can be used in the lower-income community to fix homes and cover childcare for everyone who needs to work or go to school (but it would be better than the current system).
Once our school district was better, more families with disposable income would be likely to move here into one of the many historical homes that need updating. Itโs a beautiful small town with wonderful people, but the school district and demographics are in a never-ending downward spiral. Itโs maddening!
Also, chef/personal trainer (who literally makes me get up and workout every day)/full time photo editor/office assistant/all the photo gear I want (because I love my job too much to ever stop working)/Long vacations around the world with husband, our kids, and both of our sets of parents and siblings.
A crapton of landscaping and home improvements and repairs.
Years of seeing unrestrained greed destroy America has turned me off of extravagance and conspicuous consumption for life. Listed above are the most wasteful things I can think of doing if I suddenly became a millionaire.
I'd anonymously buy a small town, pay actors to live in said town under the premise of filming an actual real life Truman Show, and then I would be Truman. The pay would be significant, but with the exception that you don't get paid until after filming and not at all if you reveal the secret. I would then live my life in a way that I'm always almost exposing the secret forcing the actors to try even harder to keep it secret.

I don't know, man. Growing up poor, I don't even know what id spend my money on apart from a few more expensive than normal groceries. Like, $4 milk instead of $2 milk. Brand name soda instead of shitty generic stuff. I'd probably just make the rest of my family financially comfortable and live quietly.

Buy a small island, build a nice house, set it up off the grid; small airplane, nice boat, build some similar homes for each of my children so they can live on the island also if they so choose.

I would make a large quad copter drone I would ride around like a motorcycle. It wouldnโt be that difficult or expensive. I could get Tesla involved or something and have that thing fly itself, all kinds of intelligent computerized safety features. Autopilot takes over while I look at all the people stuck in traffic and check my phone. If I funded it I would own the patents and maybe do something with the them like make more money but really it would be about driving a badass drone bike all over town. Need a pilotโs license? So what. I could do that in a couple months. Thing would be gold plated with lights that made people think I was a ufo at night.
Full Titanium monster cross bike with the best (not most expensive, but best for my Donkey-Kong, Monster-truck-everything ass) parts, disc brakes, carbon wheels etc...
Some bike I can ride until my grandkids start asking ' When the hell is he gonna die? I want that bike...'
Gotta be careful. A couple mansions a private plane and all the staff to upkeep everything 10 years down the line your bankrupt. Happens to people who win 100 mil in the lottery all the time. But every billionaire that goes bankrupt creates a couple dozen millionaires and pays some average joes salaries for a while so circle of life and all that
I would build a ninja warrior indoor course for my kids and pay a top ninja warrior to train them and me. I would spend the next year being force to work out and get in shape. Then compete on the show. I would compete as the billion dollar ninja and fail miserable on live TV.

Have a special soundproof, lightproof room built with HD screens for walls and a sound system that is better than anything that has been invented yet.
In the middle is an anti-gravity haptics harness. You get in, you pick a song or songs you want to listen to, a theme for visuals and you experience the song with your hearing faculties, your vision and physical sensations.
Naturally the room could also be used for gaming, as a home theater, simulations, etc.
A pet favorite of mine would be to come in to โthinkโ. Motion and gesture recognition built in, so you can come and spatially organize your thought process and make decisions. You can โflingโ a thought or concept from one wall to another, you can pack certain ideas or brainstorming into one โSymbolโ and you can expand it when you need the reference. You can organize your thinking and decision making in a way that is most natural to you, with help from the machine learning that picks up on your style and adjusts to you.
I would also get a team of researchers, scientists, engineers and analysts to develop concepts and technologies that donโt exist yet or seem impossible, like this room I mention.
The goal would be to make it mass-producible and easily acquired by any average person.
(Other interests include things like molecular manufacturing, companies that โdisruptโ megacorps that exploit their customers, a secure electronic voting system that allows each personโs vote to actually be counted and be represented.)
And much more. I would radically change the world to something better, as much as I could, because f*ck it. Iโm a billionaire. What else is there to grow towards from there?

Establish a mandatory UBI for low income families, and bribe, eh ehm, I mean lobby the representatives of those areas to pass laws regulating employers to pay their employees a fixed percentage of their overall profit after overhead to stay consistent with inflation.
Then hire hundreds of attorneys to help people declare bankruptcy, default on all loans, and give them a decent cash salary dependant on the amount of people in each household.
Maybe start a new political party which I am in no way publicly or digitally (paper) related to that aims to regulate the "free market" by mandating executives and shareholders earning $500,000+ to give their employees a salary consistent to 80% of their own salary. Goal 2 would be to decommission every central bank and leave the control of money in the governments hands so long as 90% is returned to the people in forms of education, infrastructure, public works, etc. Begin manufacturing on U.S. Soil, increase world exports, then slowly lower the defense budget, while offering plans transitioningโ defense contractors, to manufacture heavy duty industrial vehicles instead of military weapons/vehicles/planes. Take the defense budget down to 300 billion per year. Leaving an extra 300 billion to determine a way to remove fiat currencies from existence, and have our paper backed by a consistent value good, such as going back to the gold standard, and hope the EU doesn't ask for it back.
Then get assassinated by southerners and midwesterners for ruining democracy...I mean a republic with an appearance of a democratic republic. Or probably killed by shareholders of the Federal Reserve.

Dont know what but helping others in some way.
Money doesn't call out my name. I know I need to work and own a career in order to survive in this ever growing economy but yeah. I wouldn't mind being rich and helping others
I would definitely buy a house, but that's not entirely lavish. The lavish thing I would buy would be my NEIGHBOR's house, which I would quickly tear down and covert to a private dog park and catio.
Not necessarily lavish but perhaps petty; Iโd sink tens to hundreds of thousands to fight this debt collection agency that erroneously tried to collect $1000 from me and made my life hell, rather than just paying the grand to make them go away. Neither action would really make a dent in my wealth but it would be so satisfying.

I'd buy a store front and a house so that I can move my business and self out of my parent's house. I'd then split the money up into many different bank accounts. All the interest would go into a new bank account that I would live off of.
I wouldn't have to worry about not getting injections I need to walk. I could help get my aunt the treatment she needs to fight her cancer. I could help my neighbor who has MS. I could donate constantly to shelters and support centers of all kinds. I could help my get my brother his own house. I could fund a small community theater.
If I had a billion dollars I'd finally be able to sleep.
Honestly, nothing. While I enjoy being comfortable, anything too ridiculous makes me feel really uncomfortable. Even just being in a rich neighborhood or visiting a wealthy school like UW makes me want to leave.
But, as a major college football fan, I would probably first pay off college, then donate a few million to the Mountain West to take UIdaho, UMontana, and Montana State.
Iโd make the world look a lot closer to what I want it to look like.
Paul Reed Smith would be making me a few custom guitars. An acoustic, a mandolin, 2-3 electric guitars, and a replica Coral sitar with the iconic PRS body shape.
A private jet. I'd have a large, but not ridiculously massive sized house; the kind most moderately wealthy people get (the only difference is I'd put it on a few acres -none of that gated community living for me). I'd have nice, but not extravagantly expensive cars (where am I going to drive a Ferrari? To CVS?). I'd take nice trips to places, but I'd stay in nice, out of the way hotels and houses because I like seeing the countries I visit -not the insides of hotels. I'm not into yachts, I don't want my own island, I don't need a dozen different homes (when you're that wealthy you can afford to rent anyplace you want anywhere, so why go have the hassle of owning any place you aren't living most of the time?
But a private jet . . . I've been lucky enough to fly private twice in my life (my old company had a corporate jet and I got to ride with the big shots on two business trips). The difference between flying commercial and flying private is like the difference between taking the bus and having your own car. It's unreal how bad the commercial flying experience is and most people don't even realize it, because they have no other viable options.
I would build a 50 story sky scraper in the middle of no where, and make it entirely inaccessible, no doors at all. I'd hire contractors from distant places so no locals had any knowledge and make everyone working on the project sign NDA's with a very healthy bonus to all signers if the secret is still a secret in 10 years.

I would walk down the street asking people to smile, if they didn't have any teeth I would throw some money at them and tell them to get some fucking teeth.
Iโd buy a small mountain town (currently thereโs one in Oregon that Iโm eyeing). Meaning I would buy every house from every current resident and move them out and take over the town. Iโd give a house to various members of my immediate family and one to my ex-husband and his new wife so that they could remain close to our kids.
Then Iโd hire a few teachers (try to find the best in the country) and pay them 2x what they were making at their current jobs and give them a house to live in while they taught my kids and any children of other residents.
I would build a large cylindrical hotel of sorts, that had a sunlit elevator in the middle. Each floor would be custom made to the likings of each of the families in my family tree, and a few friends. The hotel would be semi-self sustaining in that it would recycle all water and waste to be used in an organic, rooftop hydroponic garden, and would all run on wind and solar power. Everyone would pay for their own personal expenses, but the house and utilities and whatever food we could produce would be covered. I just wanna live a fairly decent life surrounded by all the people I love. Itโd be like a communal existence that also allowed for privacy and personal space when desired. Having the ability to see all the people I love at any time is the height of luxury to me.

A Flowrider... the artificial surf machines they have on cruise ships and in big waterparks
I'd build a large billiards club with the best equipment and free entry for people who prove they can play. Because this sport is not very popular in my country, good equipment is not accessible and I hate assholes who eat and drink at at the tables, don't wash hands etc.

I would create the most immersive MMORPG universe imaginable.
Player housing, decorations within the house, crafting systems that arenโt just point based grinds...imagine your roll in the game is purely as a crafter, and you could work to craft legendary swords, etc.
Boy, I would spend a fortune to hire the best designers and artists and testers. Open the game up once the world was stabilized, and give beta-testers the advancement they made during beta as a gift for playing.
Have a high quality professional crew come in and fix all the plumbing and electrical in my old house and fix up all the DIY mistakes I made, and then furnish the finished basement properly.
Ideally I'd just have an architect and crew build me a new house, but I don't want to run out of money and I don't think money goes as far as I wish it would.

See, this would sold a lot of problems for me- my first thought wouldnโt be anything lavish, it would be getting rid of my debt and my motherโs debt (some of which is my stupid assโs fault) and I would try to make my Grandparents more comfortable and then go pay off my boyfriends house or car, whichever he was most comfortable with. To me that is pretty lavish-
But then I would also want to buy the cosplay gear I want for Geralt of Rivia, custom made for my fatass and most likely a nice house with a fence for my dog.
I donโt want for much, Iโm pretty simple in my needs-
But I really want to dress up as Geralt of Rivia, dress my dog like Roach, and do it in my own back yard and possibly convince my boyfriend to cross dress as Yenifer for an evening.
Full on body contouring. Boobs, belly, butt, face, fix meee!

In this order; buy my grandma's house from her (pay her taxes) so she doesn't have to move, buy my sister a house for her and her kida, pay off my girlfriends loans and get her an art studio, buy my dad's house so he doesn't have to move. I just want my family to feel secure and happy is that so much to ask?
I would throw a legit rock star party with all my favorite bands preforming at the top of some 5star suite and trash that room in the process. Then stay for the house keeping to get done and tip them a few million for the trouble.

I would set up a fund for scientific endeavors related to creating a fully autonomous system of production.
Like pizza.
Set up land for farming the materials, design it to be automated from the point of the farm to the end delivery.
A billion might not be enough but it's what I would try. Sustainable, limitless, pizza with no labor required.
I would build a huge building, invest in some vr games that can utilize alot of space and make the building into a game/gym center, where u could run around shooting ppl/playing multipayer rpgs or whatever you would like.
I would buy chimps and outfit them with armour of gold, then have them joust from similarly kitted elephants or tigers (which are more expensive?) for my amusement.

Create a bathing room. Just for taking amazing baths.
The most luxurious tub I could find that's big, but not mammoth. Infinity style so I can soak up to my eyeballs if I want. Has all the bells and whistles. Bubble jets. Massage Jets. A dedicated on demand tankless water heater.
I'd need a separate dedicated water tap within arms reach that producers ice cold drinking water.
A whole wall stocked like a Lush and similar high quality goods. Bath bombs, oils, melts, bubbles, salts, soaps, scrubs, lotions, face masks, candles, you name it, all in multiple scents to choose from of course.
The room would have dimmable lighting with multiple colored LED options. Sound system. Hidden tv. Fireplace. Adjustable thermostat. All of those would need to be voice controlled.
Large super plush & absorbent towels & robes. Alternatively silk robes too.
It is bad that I actually have a very thought out map of what I would buy? First of all $500 million would be invested. The other $500 million would go towards a shit ton of cars, houses a private jet or two. I can go more in-depth if anyone wants me to

I'd pay someone to go thru news stories and find ordinary people who saved a life, animal, etc and give them money.
Get a Black Lotus and frame it above me bed. Heck, Iโd probably have multiple โLotus Stationsโ so that I could move the card around to show off when people came over.
I always said I would take a load of money out of the cash point to use as toilet paper. Now we have these polymer notes in Britain and they would probably just smear it around so that idea is screwed now.
I'd probably make sure it was legit, drive down the street to the store and buy this stupid expensive alcohol they have to celebrate.
They have some that are like $1000+ for a tiny bottle. It's nuts.

Iโd buy an apartment in all my favorite cities. Nothing lavish, per se, but just a nice little place where I can stay whenever I feel like traveling.
I would definitely go to a plastic surgeon and say; make me not look like me any more.
Also I would buy the biggest hot air balloon, make something so it could fly up by itself, and then I would shoot it down with a big ass howitzer or something.
I would go to the Luxor to get the best damn chicken tenders Iโve ever had, then drive my new skyline to California to pig out on in and out burger and fish tacos.
Depends on what you mean by waste I guess. A selfish purchase would probably be a super high end gaming computer, but that's a drop in the bucket really. Most of the money I would give out to friends and family.

Assuming I still had money incoming, I'd buy a huge portion of land and put some houses on it, have a wall put up around the whole place and a McCastle built as well. I'd live the rest of my life as a King with the tenants as my nobles and subjects. My security team will wear armor and carry swords and spears, there will be some farm plots for people to grow crops, a little village with available store space for anyone who wants to open a business. It'll be open to the public from 6-10 (2am) for any taverns. But this will not be some kind of crazy compound where people have to worship me, I swear.
I would hire the Mars company to make Snickers with the Twix cookie on the bottom and light chocolate on top. And I would make Doritos bring back the flaming hot Doritos

I like my job (mostly self-employed), but it involves a lot of driving: chauffeur. And a secretary and accountant while I'm at it. Maids to keep my house tidy. A personal assistant to retrieve anything I want or need, from a pair of socks upstairs to "you know that tea place, the one with the flavoured strawberry-blueberry thing? Go get me one of those.". Personal chef.
I consider myself pretty independent, but I like to dream about such a pampered life.
First thing I would do would be buy a house, fill it up with expensive stuff etc.
But then I would go to Nurburgring , buy 8 mini coopers and 8 super cars and paint each Mini Cooper and super car a distinctive color to identify teams, and then Play cat and mouse with all my friends.
I would buy this old theater back home that was built in like the 30s-40s, just so I could make sure it never closes down. I'd keep it in the same style, maybe refresh the interior but keep it in it's classic look. And I'd screen indie films and classics, not just new blockbusters that have been out for a while and are like a week removed from being out on DVD. I'd host film seminars and discussions and whatnot for film buffs, and it'd be a great hub of all things film for my small community. No one would probably come, but it would be there and exist.
Id buy a plot of land and build a legit moat with crocodiles in it. Buy a self sustaining cattle herd to fees the crocodiles. Id install a drawbridge of course for personal use but unwanted visitors would have to use a shaky suspension bridge with frayed ropes and half rotten boards for decking. Have fun with that, jehovahs witnesses

I would give my son and daughter in law enough that she could quit work and stay home with my only granddaughter even though that would take away the 2 days a week we watch her. Her smile when her mom picks her up is something. Now the second thing Iโd buy would be some world class travel for me and all family.
I would immediately pay off all of my parents debt. Mortgage, car payments, student loans, all of it. Then I would buy their home (Iโm still in school so I live here too) and demolish it and build their dream house. I would give each of my siblings $100 million and would proceed to clean up my home town. I would restore historical landmarks, donate to volunteer firefighters and first responders to provide new equipment, provide funding for those less fortunate to be able to afford water, heat, clothes, food, etc. Finally I would buy myself a couple new outfits and some shoes and then put my money away to be used once I finish college. I would always keep enough money to pick up the tab at dinner with my friends and would help them out if they ever needed it. I donโt want to be an โIn your faceโ billionaire, but rather be very low key and just keep living my life and see where I end up and who I end up with.
I say this mainly because despite being an artists and having my BFA, I'm absolutely shit with art history and it would take me decades to get my degrees. Once I got them, my specialization would also be so niche that the only jobs I would be qualified for would be small curatorial positions at government owned parks. So I would likely be spending several hundred thousand dollars with no income over probably...15 years? In order to get a job paying maybe 50-60k tops.
I don't know about lavish but I always said that the first thing I'd buy if I ever became rich is a 1999 Nissan Skyline GTR R34. Fell in love with that thing after my 12 yr old self saw it in 2 Fast 2 Furious
A private jet. (Boring I know, but it would be really cool to be able to fly anywhere I wanted, at any time, with the added bonus of never having to go through airport security.)
I'd be able to put all the money into starting employee-owned businesses and try to redistribute wealth among the world. If I couldn't do that, I'd probably just give it all away since excessive money is toxic.
I'd buy a decent-sized house just far enough in the country to throw Gatsby parties. Once a month, hire a big-ticket band/musical guest, get it catered, provide obscene amounts of alcohol. Get schwifty, shit on the floor, have a cleaning crew come the next day, start planning for next month. I wouldn't want to be a high-profile billionaire, I just want to be a local legend.

A 1970 Chevelle SS Coupe.
And even though I don't know much about cars I would spend a lot of time with this guy I know who does, and (if it was in bad shape) I would restore it, otherwise I would make many customizations to it to modernize the interior (much to the chagrin of classical car fans, I'm sure, I apologize).
Other than that I can't think of much I would spend money on being lots of video game stuff, a house, and guns.
A chiropractor to help this girl I like have her hip reset back in place. Seeing her ride a horse again would be the most extravagant thing for me to see.
I would buy the nicest record player, stereo and speakers I could find and go on a vinyl purchase spree buying all the classics of my favorite artists and then some

Buy a ranch in Texas and build an exact replica of Jurassic park. And if they can't clone me a dino for the leftover amount get some animatronic guys goin
This may sound a bit stupid, but build a third hockey arena for my city. We have one of the nations biggest youth organizations and they have have access to about 1,5 rinks since they have to share one of them with the figure skating club, which is also quite big.
I would hate it if my kids would have to grow up loving hockey and they can't get to play it because the city is poorly connected to the youth sports movement. The sports has grown immensely in popularity over the last couple of years and we need more ice for them to practice on.
The mens team is doing alright this year, I don't think they need more sponsoring really so I'd sponsor the women's team. I'd love for them to get a proper chance to get to the SDHL. Also, inspire my daughter to excel in hockey or whatever she chooses. We need more female role models in sports.
I'm not sure what I would name the arena, but I guess after one of our bigger players through history? For some reason Ice Palace might not be the best of names, but it does have a certain ring to it.

Treasure hunts, ridiculous clues, insane contraptions like a maze of the mind to unlock locks. There would be multiples per state, and more per other country. Things like an angel and a demon statue in separate locations, a chip in the halo, and the halo has to be hung on the demon's dick to unlock a basepanel.
Acreage, huge self sustainable, environmentally safe/green, solar panel, water collection, composting, modern ranch w/ greenhouse, farm, animals and workers.

I think it might be interesting to just buy one of those incorporated towns that are dead. Then set up infrastructure, hospitals, good schools, and a couple of factories. Because only financial balance and not profit are money considerations, the motive is to provide good jobs and the side effect are products and services. These products and services still have to compete or go out of business, to make sure there's still some development in better products and services.
While all of this seems altruistic on the surface, the true purpose is to build a culture of humanity that will endure through the ages. That, and as soon as spacefaring technology is mastered humanity can simply just move instead of fighting over a tinier and tinier planet, all the while giving Earth an insurance policy over some of the species on it. Yeah...that sounds like it could be fun. Might need to be a quadrillionaire for something of this scope, though..
Boats. A huge amount of it is going into boats. Every type of boat for every occasion, and lake, river and ocean. And places to house them all, and matching vehicles to tow the tow-able ones. And a staff to wax and details them, and another set of staff to maintain the engines and mechanical parts ... so yeah boats.
I'd call a dozen of quants , private equity experts and VCs , get with them in a room and plan with them a strategy to make myself a multibillionaire ASAP.

I'd have the most kick ass high school chemistry lab. I'd keep teaching, but I'd give the school enough money per year to hire another teacher to take over the subjects they have me teaching WHICH I WAS NEVER CERTIFIED TO TEACH. I'm a damn Chem teacher and they have me doing sections of biology too.
Anyway, that would give me a lot more time throughout the day to grade so I wouldn't have to take so much work home at night.
Iโd find a troubled young Latina gang member who was smart but had gotten into some bad situations, and maybe done a little time. Sheโd train up in handgun combat and several martial arts as well as defensive driving and racing techniques. While she works her way through law school or nursing school or whatever part time she would be my driver and my personal assistant. She would dress in a conservative uniform of black skirts and business tops and sensible but nondescript shoes in case she needs to break in to action at any point.
There would be no romantic relationship there but people would wonder. And she would always precede me into a room and people would fall silent because they knew the time for chit chat and general fuckery was now over and some shit was going to get done.
I would get a luxury yacht with a helipad and a helicopter (obviously get lessons on how to fly it myself) and get apartments with garages all over the city of LA and NYC with hot cars. Live GTA 5 IRL. Time to put in some work for the Grove CJ.

A big house in Vancouver that I could outfit with a music studio. I'd probably have an attached coachhouse or basement suite to rent to some friends and a really cheap rate.
Generally though when I consider getting that rich my first step is to wipe the debt record clean for myself and my immediate family and maybe a few close friends.
I choose to interpret your comment using long form billion, which is a million million. Given that means I now own more money than actually exists, and could potentially destabilise economies, I'd try to take over the world.

I'd set the games budget to 300 million dollars with a 4 year development and planning window. I'd also include a 25 million dollar bonus pool for the employees if the game sold over 10 million copies within the first 2 years.

I'd start the business I've been working on, but couldn't get financial backing for. I'd finally be able to hire experts to do the research I need to develop the proof of concept rather than trying to research and develop everything myself.
Honestly the only things Iโve ever wanted in life was a nice house out away from town with a garage large enough to hold a few cars and space to work on them. Maybe a few extra pets. Everything else isnโt really necessary. I think Iโd be happy at that point.

I'd spend a decent amount of money to get to level 777 on Steam.
To start I would by a Basquiat painting that just sold for 110.5M, a 25M mansion in Delray Beach FL, a 287k Lamborghini Huracan (in matte charcoal gray), and pursue commercial space travel.
I would buy out my old 3 jobs and make changes by firing all employees and selling the company to failed business banks, than live my life happily knowing i got my revenge for horrendous managers.

A yacht big enough to live on, with a smaller boat you can park in it, and jet skis... No more living on dry land, now I'm a citizen of the world and international waters
I'd buy my own massive suite at Lambeau Field & make it in perpetuity. Named after me & my family, stocked w all my favorite things, have different Packers alum en suite, watching games w us, my own set of parking spots inside Lambeau or in the players' lot, on-field passes for every game, and a few million donated to hire some new goddamned strength & conditioning coaches.
And fire Dom Capers & McCarthy & hire Mike Tomlin to shake things up a bit.

I'd actually donate money to things. I feel guilty for not doing enough or giving enough to cancer research and such... But the 2.56 in my checking account till payday makes it kinda impossible.
Buy acres of land, acquire 50 cats all calico cats, 50 other cats, all orange cats male. Put the 50 at one end of the forest, 50 at the other end of the forest. In two big drop points.
Then in the dead center a giant pile of cat food.
Make kitty kat forrest. It's always been my dream. :D
A place in the midwest that I can turn into a wolfdog sanctuary since so many people think 'I want one!' when watching Game of Thrones and then realize that they cant handle a dog that sees them as tolerable, but not a friend, and definitely will tear their home up.

I'd by an arcade, it'd be a nice investment and I can game all day, after it's up and running and if it's making a steady income I can always employee some people.

Buy a somewhat big mansion, hire a bunch of little people to work the house and live in there overall.
Part of the contract would be to dress them in full body plush costumes so they look like automated teddy bears and the like as long as they're inside the place. The next step is invinting people there and have the plushies roam free at night :D
Jousting and falconry. If you're mega-wealthy, there's no reason not to go buckwild eccentric and into nonsense hobbies that would otherwise be unavailable. Full suit(s) of armor, stable of horses, lances and a sick-ass birdhouse.
I would buy a mansion in like a hill, and have caverns make under it connecting the mansion and the caverns, then buy a big black tank, a super computer, and become Batman.
As a hard manual labor worker, I would get the best massage and spa pamper session I could find.
I've never had any kind of spa treatments. No Mani-pedi, no real massage, never had a hot stone or sea weed wrap. I don't even know if those are real things they do or if it's just commercials messing with people like me that don't know about it. I've never even tried a sauna ( that one is just because my work is essential a sauna.) just once, I would like to be super over the top pampered.

I would build a giant, underground shooting range that was sound proofed enough that I could shoot at any time of the day or night without disturbing anyone or be disturbed. .
I'm a super frugal person, but I'd spend money commissioning someone to make me new eyes with as many vision cones as possible. I need new eyes anyway so I'd really like some that can see in as many colours as possible.
I'd spend a couple million dollars on homes and vehicles for some of my family members. Both uncles, my aunt, and my parents (mom and step dad) would get that treatment. Then I'd make sure my father knew I got rich and did all that, and make sure he knew why he wasn't getting anything.
Beyond that I'd be looking for ways to grow my money. That's when I go to /r/personalfinance and they tell me to hire an accountant.
I'd also probably be a lifelong college student. I honestly love being in college.
A house, don't need a mansion... but the house would be one to fit all of my tastes... a little japanese style here and there, some syfy stuff and style about everywhere, lots of high tech stuff to make life easier and, ofc, a fking game center (aka throne room) with a badass custom gamer chair + multiple consoles and a top notch PC
I'd pay out of pocket so receive the adequate health care so I could fix everything that's preventing me from living a normal life in society.
After that I'd build some super badass gaming rig and buy every steam game possible.

I don't think there's just one thing I would want to splurge on. More like a bunch of smaller things that I've always wanted. In order from most-to-least
Pay off all mine and my partner's debt, and pay for the rest of his school.
Pay for medical and dental care for my dad and his side of our family. They're all very poor and uneducated, so they probably need a lot of help. I know my dad does at least, I would love to be able to afford to pay for him to have his teeth removed and have some nice implants put in.
Buy some land and a low-key-but-nice house for all of them to live in.
Buy a nice two-story condo in the Dallas area and open a coffee shop/used comic book store on the bottom floor.
Get sedation dental work to help restore my own teeth, plus braces and an implant for the tooth I had to get pulled when I was still in school. Basically just fix my shit up.
Hire a full-time personal driver so that I never have to drive again.
Buy a nice gaming set up and all of my favorite classic games (pokemon, Megaman BN, Dragon warrior)
Hire a full-time nutritionist and personal trainer to help me get into better shape and feel better.
Figure out how much money I would need to maintain this standard for living for the rest of my life, put that away in a flexible spending account that will gain interest over time.
Donate the rest to local charities that I care about, earmarked so that all of it is spend on the specific cause the charity works towards rather than on executive salaries.

Recruit the greatest scientist and engineers from across the world to build real life duel disk as in yugioh. Hold a tournament for where I invite the worlds greatest duelist to duke it out on my private island(Invitation only ie golden ticket) the winner gets a $1000000.
I would rent a large vacant lot for more then they are asking with the stipulation that they cannot ask what it is going to be used for. Then I would have wrecked a large tarp at least four or five stories high. Then I would erect a secondary tarp on the outside edges acting as a fence. I would have security patrol between the two tarps. And have people walking in and out and full Hazmat gear. Once they were inside they could relax watch TV play card games or whatever but then they could leave after a full 8 to 12 hours. They would be hired on the stipulation that they were not allowed to say anything about what was going on inside. They would also be given a bonus of five or $10,000 if they were able to keep what was in side secret for a year.
Then I would install a bunch of cameras on close buildings and just see what people do.

There's a former eye hospital in a city near me that I used to drive past on my way to work. It's a lovely old brick building but since the eye hospital was moved to the main city hospital building it has become run down. I'd buy that and do it up as a community space with studio space local artists could use for like a quid a month.

Probably a brand new car if Iโm honest.
I drive a 20yo beater with no AC, rust, weird unexplainable (to every mechanic Iโve taken it to) noises, dinged windshield, dents from the deer running into it, hates cold, tufts of orange insulation everywhere, and I just had to pilfer my passenger side sunshade because drivers side broke.
My next car will be used.
I want heated seats, heated steering wheel, auto parallel parking, GPS, remote start, rear view camera, satellite radio....the works!
I would research luxury brands, go to the nearest dealer, walk around drinking champagne (cause Iโm sure thatโs a thing), and be like โI want that one, you take checks?โ
Iโd fund a research center at a major research university like Columbia University or the University of Washington and hire 10 academics at 200K a year, with tenure, to produce high-quality, humanities-based, radical scholarship.
Iโd pay enough people to create a human wave from the southern tip of Argentina to Alaska, and keep it going for a month.

Then I'd open a free school teaching people how to use all my neat shit.

Then I'd chill by the treasure spot and the guy who got their first get the treasure and a party on the island.

I'd buy the UFC just for the sole purpose of kicking Rebook to the curb. Then I would pay all the fighters what they actually deserve instead of just the big names.
I'd buy the $3,300 bottle of mysterious booze I saw when I was at the liquor yesterday, having said "if I won the lottery, I think I'd buy that, just for fun."
Other than that, I'd make the money do some serious good in the world.
Think about it - by working you generate money, by not working you are wasting the money you are not getting paid. I'm fully capable of coming in and doing my job, I enjoy my work, but by not coming in I would be wasting the money that I would be earning by doing the job, plus whatever money I'm spending by filling the time I'm not at work.

I know im late to this but, I would invest 900 million of it, in multiple things, some in high yield investments, and other lower yield stuff thats safer. That way i can make more money of the billion. Id make at least a couple million a year, and not have to worry about money for the rest of my life. Then with the 100 million i have left, 10 million goes to my father, 10 million to my uncle, 15 million total to my 3 brothers, which leaves me with 65 million left. I would get really nice computers, both macs, windows and linux. Then i would just start tinkering with random electronics, and playing with cool stuff like that. Id be set for life.

I'd have parties where I'd invite all my friend and hire a bunch of extras to dress up and crew members. The women would all have big hair and short skirts like in the original series.

And I won't put any other apartments in it for other people to live in because that's my damn house. Maybe my family can have a floor or two.
Pirates of the Caribbean Pinball Machine. That's the first thing I'd buy if I suddenly became rich. I have some great childhood memories tied to that game and I STILL love it to this day.

First class tickets to see my best friend in Liverpool UK. Would bring our family, especially my mom, so she can visit Wales, where my maternal grandmotherโs family is from.
Set up scholarships at the high school I was kicked out of, for kids battling through anxiety and depression.
I'd invest my money in stock markets and cryptocurrency.
But God help me, most of it will go to orphanage, the poor, the needy, institutions with righteous workers that helps mankind and my family and relatives.

There's a really nice building a few blocks from my apartment. When the local lottery was up to 800 million, I said the first thing I'd do is take 2 million cash, walk up to the top floor looking over the ocean, bitch slap the person that lives there in the fact and say "get out, this is mine now". I don't even really like the area, but a condo, overlooking the beach (across the street), with a 2 car garage? Gimme gimme gimme.

Upgrade my PC for the most expensive parts and buy a house so I have room to build my monster rig.
Dream house obviously a beautiful large Victorian home on a few acres of land like 20 with horses for me to ride on.
The home would have a lovely french style dining room as well as turning one of the turrets into a full library with one of the windows in the library being a bay window facing the afternoon sun with one of those bay window beds to lay and read on.
I'd hire a personal horse trainer as well as human trainer to ride horses.
I'd hire people to mow my lawn. I'd use my dishwasher everynight instead of using it as a very expensive drying rack.
And a bigass beautiful PC setup. Ooh ohh and solar panels. Maybe even my own wind turbine!

I would build a house to fit my needs, somewhere in the Florida Keys. Probably something like a 4br/3b so there is plenty of room for future kids. Attached garage, plenty of land, workshop in the back.
Then Iโd get some sweet ass 1980โs truck restored. Iโve always pictured a Jeep Wagoneer. Maybe Iโd use it to tow whatever boat Iโd inevitably buy.
The rest would be invested and weโd live off of interest. Maybe weโd get bored and buy a bar.
There is this ยฃ4000 fat bike at my LBS that would be mine....cant really justify it with my other bikes, but hey, if money were no object.....(of course I'd probably need a new garage to store it in, so may as well fill that with a couple of extra bikes.....N+1 really gets you when money is no object).
I'd visit every website and buy all the copies of the Magic card Black Lotus and put them in a binder.
Once they all came in I'd ask some kid to trade at my local game store and hand him my binder.
I'd pick some bulk rares out, and trade him a lotus for $12 worth of cards and act super psyched. Then I'd walk him to his ride so he wouldn't get jumped lol.
Buy a bigger condo in my home city, and Iโd buy a beach house in the Bahamas.
Condo wouldnโt be extravagantly lavish but Iโd definitely spend a ton of money renovating it entirely from the ground up to suit my personal tastes. Iโd have one of those kick ass walk in closets, and it would be filled with smarthome devices.
Rent the entirety of Alton Towers for just me and some friends for a drug fuelled weekend. Stay in one of those treehouses with the hot tubs, do a bunch of acid and MDMA, no lines for the roller coasters or for the water park... yeah that sounds pretty sweet.
100 acres of land > one of those walking robots from Robocop > pimp out the top so that I can sit in an office on its head > make the robot stroll around my backyard while I played video games and took Skype calls > then add velociraptors to my backyard and make it hunt them.

State of the art artillery rig, mountainous property, and a bunch of old cars to demo
Id rent one of those heavy lift helicopters, grab the biggest boulder it could carry, fly up reeeeeally high and drop it in a large body of water. Ive always wanted to do this, but for no apparent reason...just to see the splash. Im rich now, dont need rationale
A team of personal staff: financial advisor, life coach, therapist, assistant, chef, fitness instructor, physical therapist, yoga instructor, massage therapist, cobbler, dressmaker, housekeeper, and a chauffeur.
So first I'll
Don some mundane thing but the first lavish purchase would be a bunch of spectacular aviaries for my birds. Because they mean everything to me as it is now and they deserve really nice enclosures. One day.... Right now they have decent sized enclosure 2 feet of space on all sides for everyone if like to get a bigger one for my budgjes because they aren't in their 2 feet long cage at the moment due to a problem with the tray. Their cage is perfect size for them but I'd like it to be bigger
I'd go to an engineering college for fun. taking classes as I please, learning science again without the soul crushing pressure of PASS YOUR CLASSES OR BE RUINED WITH DEBILITATING STUDENT LOANS THAT WILL FORCE YOU TO SELL YOUR CAR AND MOVE BACK IN WITH YOUR PARENTS FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS AS YOU WORK CONSTRUCTION AND RETAIL...
Oh! and a sailboat I could sail the ocean in and live aboard. I think that'd be pretty rad.

Billionaire? I'd pay off my house, buy an economical car that I also enjoy. The rest I'd set up my dream bakery, and invest the remainder. The profits from the investing would be sinker into a charity I set up for mental health, and sexism against men help.
The most lavish "waste if money" would probably be kitting out my kitchen with professional grade equipment

My brother and I always talked about how rich we want to be. We came the conclusion of this. So rich, we can buy an open field of land, buy new cars, light them on fire, and hurl them as far as we can using an old school style trebuchet. To keep things interesting, we would sit at opposite ends of the field and make it like a game of battleship, but also with new cars that are on fire. That's what I would do.
I would buy the Columbus Crew from our scumbag owner trying to move the team and build then an opulent stadium in downtown to keep them where they belong. #savethecrew
My grandmother lives in backwoods Arkansas, and she deserves for her house to be renevated. As far as extravagance goes, I would get her a horse. My Mom loves Bigfoot and aliens and ghost hunting, so I think I would buy her some kind of scouting experience where she can go into the woods and hunt for Bigfoot, a trip to a mountain that has reported UFO sightings, and a ghost hunting experience with her favorite TV ghost hunting team.
A house. There's a perfect house down the street that I would buy for my parents to live in. It has everything. A big backyard for gardening. A nice modern interior and exterior. A big drive way.
Too bad I'm a poor college student and I live in California. I'll probably never be able to afford a house like that before my parents either pass away or are too old to enjoy it.

-1969 Shelby GT-500
-1973 Alfa Romeo Montrea

-1984 Ferrari 400i
-1967 Chevrolet Impala 427 (coupe, 4 speed fastback)
Edit: I'd also build this house that I doodled in the last executive meeting I was in. Pretty sweet: floor to ceiling glass, big polished wood headers, eight car garage, nicely landscaped on four acres. Very mid-century-modern style.

I would spend half that billion all to buy up a million contiguous acres of land somewhere in America and reforest it (or return it to its natural habitat, depending on the area). I'd start a non-profit to provide patrolling/conservation for the area using the rest of the money put into a trust. Then I would open the whole thing up to the public and go back to my regular life. I'm sure I'd visit pretty often.
Note: I'm effectively saying I'd build my own million acre campgrounds. To me, that's pretty lavish, but others might think its quite the waste of money.
I'd probably just build a legit bomb shelter for my neighborhood, and have a hidden underground house/garage, with the best air filtration, armor, and radiation shielding, sump pumps, and internet money can buy. If I have to lay fiber myself to the nearest hub, so be it. Then a bunch of long term storage food, Then furnish it like a normal house.
In the event of natural disasters, I'd bring my neighborhood folks in to live with me while rebuilding took place.
I'd buy a good chunk of land, build a large house on it, and then the surrounding walls would be put up like the outer walls of the Fortress of Sant Ferran in Spain. Then I'd hire someone to maintain everything. Then I'd buy a few dozen acres next to it and build an awesome drift track so the local group I know would always have somewhere awesome to go and practice/hold events.
I've heard about certain really nice cocktail bars where you can get booze originally consumed by kings and shit. I imagine they're not really different from modern, well made spirits but I'd so try it.
Pay my house off, fill in my backyard and then have my house rebuilt (to my specifications) further back on my property. Then set up a college fund for my kids.
Iโd take my whole family to Japan, we go to Sanrio World and Disney World. No regrets.

File bankruptcy, run a TV show I made, then run for preisdent. Odds are good right?
Have an nice apartment in a bunch of different cities. Nothing super luxurious. Austin, Chicago, NYC, Seattle, a few in Europe, Japan, Hawaii, China, and then invest what I need to keep up with the rent. Pay off all of my debt. My family debt. I would donate a lot for children hospitals and education. Then let the rest sit and earn interest so I can do whatever I want.

a nice place in New York...
a decently sized house, lots of food so that I can cook all day long, 2-3 nicely hand crafted rings, and some fancier clothes.
fuck I wish I could build a cozy house on some hilly place thats not entirely isolated.
I'd rebuild Puerto Rico infrastructure but then have all the civic buildings and hospital named after me which makes this a lavish act not just a charitable one.
I would buy a house near a large university and enroll in a Ph.D program. Probably physics, astronomy or bio-mechanical engineering. Something I'd enjoy that doesn't have a big job market.
I would take a large amount of the sum of money, invest it. 90% of the interest would go towards paying off student loans like the rolling jubilee was supposed to do.
I would do this by two means.
I would hire students who are in [student] debt to fulfill a contract. That contract would be to "immediately pay off student debt." They would be paid their total debt in a flat cost, their contract would only be considered complete once the payoff has been completed, and they would be paid under a W-9, with their taxes covered by their "employer, with the amount put into Escrow."
Part of the contract would be a strict requirement, stating that if their debt was not immediately paid off (within 10 days), that they would have to pay back the amount in full. This would get around the "gift" issue that the rolling Jubilee ran into.
I would buy the next model up in my car, but keep the same [base] car.
I would upgrade to another house.
I would open up a coffee shop/ net cafe /bakery that runs on donations only with several well paid workers that are paid out of interest on the lump $billion.
I would not be buying my waifu any fucking versace bullshit.

I'd buy a bunker. A really good one with supplies for lifetimes and an insane security system that also works without electricity, on solar power. The electricity is still its main source of power, but if that ever fails, the solar source is there for backup. I would have a nuke in there too. Because of START I can't buy any, so I'll just build one as a worst case scenario. If I'm going down from a raid party or something else, then everyone else in the radius of the blast is gonna go down and eat shit with me.

A big ass mansion built to house a ton of doggos. And maybe a fox too.
Oh and I'd want it to be built all future like. A Mass Effect kinda house.
A new home with a big attached workshop, equipped for anything I might want to create or work on. Metalworking, woodworking, electronics, paint, casting, automotive, etc. I could easily spend a couple million just on the workshop.
As for the home part, not particularly huge, but extreme attention to detail. Maybe 3 bedrooms, 3 and a half bathrooms. 2~3k square feet of living area. Lots of sound dampening, heated floors, etc. Maybe a pool on the roof, in a courtyard, or in the basement. Just somewhere the neighbors can't see it.
Oh, plus a few really nice computers(which I'll select components for and assemble myself), and a dedicated internet line with a SLA.

A Lambo Countach for my cousin. He's loved them since they came out and has posters on the wall until his wife made him take them down. He's a stand up guy and nobody can say a bad thing about him.
I like nice things, but know I don't really need them or could ever appreciate them as much as he would that car. I had daydreamed as a kid that I would drive a red one up to his apartment. He comes out and his eyes pop out of his face and he, because he's a good guy, would be so happy for me and "my" new car. I'd offer him to borrow it and drive it around the block. Then as we park, I hand him the pink slip and say, "keep it" and take a cab back home.

I would rent a cruise ship and invite everyone I knew for a party.
I would first need a house big enough to fit it, but I would buy a super tricked out basement game room.
I'd want it to be kind of a hybrid of a fancy arcade with mint condition arcade cabinets, pinball machines and modern and retro console stations mixed with a little bit of a Blockbuster aesthetic for shelving and displaying all the collectibles. There would be mini fridges strategically placed throughout the room filled with all manner of beverages and fully stocked snack machines throughout. Each console station would be equipped with a few beanbag chairs and wireless headphones to tune out any noise from the other running machines. The retro console stations will utilize RGB capable consoles and played through high grade upscalers or PVMs and BVMs. There will be no composite video in this house.
There would be a LAN room equipped with several high end PCs and dual 4K monitors as well as a gear swap station where players can pick out their preferred peripherals.
I'd also want a room dedicated to imported Japanese arcade machines and the whole room would be tricked out in a Japanese arcade aesthetic.
There will be posters and standees and neon lights everywhere. There will be monthly tournaments for all sorts of games and cash prizes for the winners. It would be completely open to the public and the only money I'd make off of it is renting it out for private catered events that are only allowed to happen a few times a month.
Miyamoto will show up once a year and play guitar.
It'll be rad.

Iโd buy a house and let my college friends live there for free. And I would pay off peopleโs school debt.
For the most part I wouldn't go wild. I would do the pay off debts, maybe get a few nice things route.
One thing I would definitely splurge on would be to take my wife's parents on a big trip to Paris, or possibly a tour of Europe. The in laws have helped my little family a lot over the years in many ways, large and small. They often took us along when they vacationed, so we got to have a lot of experiences we wouldn't have otherwise. I would take the opportunity to give them a new experience.
They are both wine nuts, so France seems a no-brainer, but I would probably expand it to include other parts of Europe too, maybe even leveraging the money to see some sites that tourists don't normally get to see.

Do you think a few billion dollars is enough to buy Trump's impeachment?
This is all assuming we're talking tens of billions of dollars, just one billion wouldn't be enough for this level of frivolity.
First thing's first, build a skyscraper-sized lighthouse in the middle of a desert in total secrecy. Make it look like it's been abandoned for centuries. Tell no one about it. There's just something about mysterious lighthouses and buildings where they don't belong that amuses me, and it'd make the world a little bit more magical for anyone who stumbles across it.
Similarly, have some kind of shipwreck recovered and moved to a desert, again in total secrecy.
Next, a life-size replica of the island from Myst. I don't know if this one would be a secret or not, but it might be more fun if no one knew where it came from.
I'd make a "bed room" -- yes, just a giant room that was nothing but bed. When you open the door, you would have to immediately jump up onto the bed. It would have recessed walls all the way around it so you would have ample shelf space for your drinks/food/toys.

Iโd make the best anime fighter out there. Kinda like a console version of jump superstars but you know.....more awesome! And I wouldnโt give a shit about licensing. I want yu-gi-oh! Damn it!
A honeymoon to somewhere exotic. Got married in September to my partner of 7 years, but after paying for the wedding we can't afford to go anywhere fancy (live in Hamilton , Ontario and going to Toronto in a couple weeks together).
I would pay people to be a human toilet for me - essentially when I need to poop, I would have them squat down, open their mouth as wide as possible, and I'll unload into them from my stink cave.
A complete day of pampering myself and my mom. Spa day, hair salon, nail salon, shopping sprees, a nice lunch. One day of pampering like that makes me feel good for at least six months.
You know those high end places in the mall, that is full of expensive fragile glass stuff? I'd go in with a couple baseball bats, protective gear and a few friends with bludgeoning tools. Then go to town smashing everything I could. It'd be fun! Or buy the building I work in currently and blow that fucker up. Basically I'd be very destructive
I have pretty simple tastes until you begin to speak about motorized vehicles. I'd want a nice house with a pool and lots of smart technology but it would be so much smaller than my garage. I'd want cars, boats, motorcycles, planes - all of it...

Cars.. boats.. toys, basically. The funniest thing is I probably wouldn't do the whole lambo or bugatti route, I'd go for a GT350R with every package available then load it to the teeth with every upgrade available in the after-market.
I'd buy my grandparents a nice house and my mom would get a guest house with it. There would be an on staff nurse and a bunch of doctor pepper cause my grandpa loves doctor pepper. I'd buy my brother his own paintball course n new guns n gear to go with it. I'd get my own plane so I can travel and bring weed with me.
An incredibly impractical and stupid thing to bother with, but I'd hire a full-time DND DM. This person's whole job would just be to work on an awesome campaign for 30ish hours a week and then run it for my friends and me over the weekend. Ever since I've gotten to an age where everyone I know has all these adult responsibilities, our DND games have been inconsistent or half-assed because nobody can devote hours every week to it. You get me a creative person who has it as their full-time job and I'm sure it would be great (assuming they don't burn out on it and start phoning it in).
I'd take my friends on a ridiculously bougie vacation to Europe. London, Paris, Venice, Barcelona, Amsterdam. Spa treatments, 5 star chef dinners in crazy venues, drivers, private jets, penthouse suites.

I'd double up on what Trump is getting from unconfirmed sources.Then I'd make him take wildly liberal position and see how he squirms out of there...
I would get all the surgery I could to break my ankles and toes and have them realigned properly, then I would slowly work up my body so I wouldn't constantly hurt
Superyacht with an entire scuba operation on board, including all gases for technical diving and closed circuit rebreathers. Also, an attached mini-sub and a helicopter for scouting for dive sites from above. I'd never see land again.
Stop a car and buy it. Leaving driver with bunch of cash in the side of road. Allways wanted to do that. Doesn't have to be very expensive car. Cheap classic will do.
I would buy my childhood home from the bank and fully pay its mortgage. I would kick my family out and revamp the whole place. New fences, new paint, build a pool, plant beautiful rare trees, kick everyone out and proceed to do many drugs in solitude.

I'd buy every bit of proof that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ever existed and burn it all... I'd make it into a big party and drink away the last fragments of my memory in which that movie existed.
I would build myself a hobbit house. I've wanted one since I was a child. Mine would be more luxurious than Bag End tho. Bigger, nicer, all the modern stuff. That and like 5 of the most powerful Pc's to exist.
I'd build a tiny home. Then I'd tour the world. Tour the states. I'd have to take my cat with me because she's never been separated from me for a long time. Then come home, and finish my degree.
I'd love to be able to afford to buy a large property and home the homeless and vulnerable. The extavagancy would come at Christmas time when I'd invite some top knoch chefs to come in and cook for these people.
Honestly, I would do a bunch of altruistic stuff: pay for healthcare for those that can't, feed the elderly and poor, and work with others to provide personal services to the homeless (barbers, clothing, access to places to clean up). I'd like to think I would. I just don't have the time and income.

Buy lots of land and build my mom the farm house of her dreams, buy my dad the perfect lake house (completely paid off for both), send all my siblings to the best universities tuition paid in full. I'd buy myself a nice house with a 25m length pool in the backyard, and build a garage for my husband and his cars, every tool and machine he could ever need or want, and then I'd build an art studio for myself.
I'd buy stock on Disney or Marvel, have them put certain characters in teams for comic books with certain writers/artists lol. Even if they're not that popular with the average marvel comic reader I'd finance the shit out of my entertainemnt.
My mom is 58 and has stage IV ovarian cancer. I'd give her everything she ever wanted, buy a jet and take her on trips anywhere she wanted to go, pay to publish and distribute her novel, whatever she wants! And I'd buy a nice house wherever she wants to live and go live there with her.
Edited to answer more in the spirit of the question - I'd take my friends to see the Astros win the World Series. Then I'd go to NBC in New York, get on stage in studio 8H and scream "LIVE FROM NEW YORK, IT'S SATURDAY NIIIIIIGHT!". Unless I wouldn't have to pay someone for that and you can just do it on like, the regular NBC tour, in which case I'm just gonna go do that as a poor person.

I'd buy all the land around Mar-A-Lago and put up massive billboards with the tiny dick Trump painting and stuff like this. Also a digital billboard showing the feed from /r/trumpcriticizes.
Well, most of the stuff I'd want to buy if I was a billionaire I wouldn't classify as "lavish" in that they wouldn't be bought just to buy them. Because most of what I'd want to buy would be property or go places or some vehicles.
But if I had to buy something lavish, I'd probably buy an airfield on an island and a brand new plane to use to get my pilots license. Since the airfield is on an island, I'd also hire someone to teach my scuba, and then scuba off the island. I'd also probably have my flight instructor fly me up with a skydiving instructor as well so I could get lessons in that as well. With that trifecta, I could go almost anywhere. That would be really cool.

I would purchase every available reserve list grade 10 alpha Magic card, make offers on all who own any, until I have essentially drained the market. Then I would offer the entire collection to Rudy for $1. But he would also have to leave his wife, his family, and would never be able to speak to anyone he's known up until now. He'd have to have plastic surgery to change his face, change his name, new passport, new identity.
All that (paid by me, the billionaire) plus $1, gets him ownership of every reserve list grade 10 alpha magic card.
Just to show everyone he'd do it lol

For over 2 years, I've been designing this 2 level underground house on E-teks Sweet-home 3d. The top level is living area, the bottom level is a recording studio. It would go on 100 acres somewhere in the Pacific NW. Probably cost $10 mil. with the land. That's step number one.
A nanny for my cat and a hermit house with full off the grid sustainability. Then I could finally write that โcat nanny and the house of the damnedโ choose your own adventure-horror novel.
Try to reduce spending in my family and hire them to make fiscally sound decisions and give them bonuses for cooperatively fixing problems and improve their well being.
Reduce spending on food, hire family to buy, sell, and manage property. Install solar panels to reduce electric heating on the properties, build a small water recycle plant in every property, and spend every dollar into something that will last three times longer than the dollar spent.
I'd also open a communal bath house/gym/lodging business that houses and employs homeless. With those features, teach them to upkeep it.
The rest of my money if any is left will get paid to someone who can successfully fake my death so I don't have to live the life I'm living.
Fuck class my buds and I are flying down to the World Series on a private plane with all the beer and food we can consume. Sitting right above the Dodgers dugout. Idk price of a plane but the tickets are a few grand each, I think like $10k.
I'd have two men enter an arena, each tell me their brief life story and what they will do with the prize money, and then fight to the death. Then I will demand that the winner tell me the hopes and dreams of the man he just killed.
And a new iPhone.

Paying off my parent's mortgage, buy a nice house near where I live, and open up an auto mechanic shop. A smartphone app would track the lifespan of every part in your car by inserting the miles you've driven and list the work that needs to be done by my mechanics. But the most expensive part would probably the laser rust removal tools. Maybe they get cheaper in the future, but they're 480k each right now.
As an emergency feature, you can blow up the doors of Lamborghini Aventador (doors open up so if you flip the car you can blow them out to get out of the car). So I would buy a brand new one, then drive some cool spot full of people, park the car in front and blow them up. Then simply just walk away and never look back.

Iโd buy the New York Knicks for a ridiculous price that way Jim Dolan would have to say yes.
I would hire someone to clean my house top to bottom. I mean, I would probably buy a REALLY nice house but my current one, I just don't have the time or the wherewithal to WANT to do deep cleaning as often as required. And organize it. Good gravy, it is so disjointed.
I would buy schools in 2nd/3rd world countries.
Start a womens zero interest business loan bank in a few countries.
Buy influence with a few politicians.
Start a few businesses that pay good wages to normal people.
Build social housing in cities hardest hit by cost of living increases. (merit based housing, you would have to work toward a goal, any goal to stay there)
Build myself a little house with a big yard.
Travel and see where life takes me.
Invest the rest of it. In ethical companies.
Build a database of every product, company, etc that is bad for the environment/human health/human/animal rights. Easily searchable to take the power out of corporate propaganda and into the now information rich hands of the purchasing public.
I'd pay off my student loans, buy a new pair of jeans, buy groceries, pay my bills, and then buy a boat. Like, a nice new, 2-person rowing shell and two sets of oars for my brother and I. Then I would take the rest of the money and save half and invest the other half to make it grow so I keep having money to spend.
I'd buy a whole mountain. I ski and mountain bike, so I'd happily spend a fortune creating an amazing trail system complete with snowmaking for winter and some crazy heating system that would dry the single track for biking after it rains. A lavish cabin at the summit would serve the best lasagna on the planet. I'd open it for tree to anyone who helped do trail work because that's how things should be everywhere.
I've always said this is what I'd do if I won the lottery...I would go to the local Gucci store, buy everything, and donate all the shit to goodwill.

I would move to Japan and buy a bunch of land and build a Daimyรด yashiki (Edo Period Mansion) since I quite like that style honestly.
I would live like a normal person who works an average 9-5 job, average car normal groceries etc this way instead of spending all this money on myself and having a flashy lifestyle (Aside from the house/Land) the money can be used to pay for my future generations schooling etc. I would also allow immediate family members to live on the property with me so that the grandparents can see their grand-kids grow up and so on.
Whole point is to have a piece of land my family doesn't have to worry about for many generations and to provide schooling for them for free.
The money would only be used for the land, maintenance costs, schooling etc so if a relative wanted a new car they better get working cause the whole point is to stretch out that money as long as possible while maintaining the property and providing schooling for the family.
After giving some of it to my closest family members and putting a significant portion of it away to earn dividends, I'll buy a very nice house in a very desirable spot in Europe, and take trips to exotic locations I haven't been able to visit before. And just have a comfortable life overall.
I would immediately begin buying full collections of all the things that I enjoy, video game consoles and the games that go with it, Star Wars movies, books, & figurines, DVD sets for all my favorite tv shows, DVDs for all my favorite movies, etc.
I suppose I would also have to buy a house with enough room to store all this stuff.
Since I'm already buying a house, I'll also buy lots of land, and build an artificial hill for skiing and snowboarding, where I can practice grinds and jumps and stuff.
Hire the Colosseum at Caeser's Palace and have Cรฉline Dion, Beyoncรฉ, One Direction, Years and Years, and JK Rowling give private full length performances for me and and my special guests.
I keep trying to think of my answer but I can only imagine really practical things that aren't really lavish. I'm like "A house keeper!!" or "I'd get a bigger apt with a nice bathroom."
The most extravagantly lavish, in a selfish manner? Well, I've got a thing for old houses. So I'd buy a nice house in our "old money" part of town. Then put a 1968 Mustang GT Fastback or 1968 Chevelle SS in the garage.
Philanthropically? College funds or mortgages paid for close friends and family. Then I'd take $100 million, put it in a charitable trust and start a working group in conjunction with the local trade schools, religious organizations, and community outreach programs. The objective would be to improve the city's impoverished neighborhoods - cleaning up blight and giving people the chance to make their houses safer and more energy-efficient.

I would build as many local municipal high speed ISPโs that I possibly could and hand them over to trusted managers to see over to help their local communities. The few million left over I would just pocket and live off of for the rest of my life stress free. I would combat the big boys with my temporary wealth.
A big enough plot of land to build a decent road course. Always wanted my own race track to fuck around on.

Honestly I would buy two literal tons of gold. 2000 lbs in one solid block if possible.
Iโm sure it would cost me $125M if I could buy it at $2000/oz (Iโm sure my sudden huge demand would drive the price way up)
I just fucking love gold. It would be useless other than to sit around in a wonderful ceremony temple I would build to worship my shiny rock.
The real thing is, that Iโd totally do it too. I think other responses here are jokes and theyโre like, โbut not seriously thoโ. This however, I 100% will do. I donโt even consider it spending money, just transferring it, Iโm sure I could sell it off again at some point.
I would buy up as much rainforest in parts of the world that were being damaged by deforestation and reforest and protect the land. It was something I wanted to do as a child and so why not? Then I'd buy a gigantic sailboat and hire a crew to sail me around the world, visiting all the tiny far away islands and a master diver to dive with me at all the beautiful reefs in the world. Then I'd find a place as safe from trump's reach and the madness of the US as I could get and build a small hut to live in for the rest of my days. I'd throw my mom a few mil for her retirement while I was at it too.

I'll probably put more into my city to make it safer (potholes everywhere) and turn most of the abandoned buildings and homes into new apartments and homes with fair prices. I'll also buy my mom a new home and my dad also (separated, on good terms). Gosh there is so much I would do with that much money and I'm pretty sure I'll have plenty of money left over so I can just live a comfy life knowing my friends and family and city are happier

The world's largest couch and tv. Make it a real event. I'm talking city blocks of couch and hundreds of movies screens in one.
Diamond and gold jewelry thatโs super crazy awesome. Septum, labret, daith, and a bunch of others I canโt think of the name. And then more tattoos.
Im currently doing a job for a rich asshole. I would build a window company larger than his and make minimum profit just to watch his company sink. I would then hire somebody to break his legs every year.
Some of the best gadgets money could buy. Best drone, beat electronic skateboard/bike, telescope, super rad BB gun. Basically I would just make it Christmas for me, and let my immense wealth sink in while I enjoyed all these things. Then I'd take a month long vacation with my new accountant/financial advisor and just talk about/set up my life.
I'd buy a Mormon temple and transform it to look all dark and spooky. Like Minas morgul but scarier, and I'd throw a lot of Eyes Wide Shut style parties.
I'd pay off all of my owed money, get a decent house, buy a decent car and start an experimental company. Probably would get some gourmet mac and cheese first. Wow, I could get a full tank of gas and get all of my groceries and do way more.... This sounds ds pretty good, where do I sign up? xD
Aside from being generally responsible and philanthropic with it, I'd probably build the ultimate PC battlestation. The only issue is I'm too impatient to wait for online orders to arrive and local stores don't stock parts that expensive.
I would just buy a entire grocery store. Can you do that? So that I can forever get anything I want in the store, anytime for free. No joke, it's always been my dream to do that.
Just imagine never having to pay for groceries again... like just one day wake up and feel the need for 100 boxes of orange juice. And actually being able to get that. That's the dream, guys. That's the dream

I once was random Googling and I found the link to contact Steve Martin's management for speeches. At work we have a fifteen-minute presentation every morning that a different random person has to give. For mine, I would bring in Steve Martin with no fanfare or hoopla, have him talk, say I am the one who mysteriously won the lottery, and quit on the spot. Instant legend.
Car nerd in me: A full set of stanced cars. Aka. all airbagged. All vinyl wrapped a different color. All music upgraded to the best audio. All suede wrapped inside to custom colors with my last name stitched on each one. All custom self picked and designed wheels from the highest brands. One or more car of each brand that I'm fond of. In an insanely cool hangar.
Nerd nerd in me: the absolute best PC rig self built that money can buy with LED's all around the casings and the room. With the ultimate chair and gaming experience with a custom order LG wallpaper 4k HDR tv that I paid extra to have upsized to a size that I would be the first in the world to have. With a Macintosh sound system complete.

I would buy a large plot of land out in the sticks. I would build a 40ft deep 100 foot wide moat around it and fill it with water. There would be on bridge and part of it would be a draw bridge. On each side or the moat I would build a 5ft tall wall with an electrified line running the top and guard towers every 100ft on the inside wall.
Probably a leather dress with some thigh high boots and a corset. It's stupid, but fuck it'd be fun to wear for sex. Of course it'd be after I pay my student loans off, set aside the money for my wedding and me and my fiancรฉe's elective surgery that we want. After that I'd probably get an apartment so I don't have to live with family that has intense dislike for me, some underwear that isn't falling apart, a second pair of pants (maybe even replace or repair my current pair so they cover more than a skirt), maybe a few everyday/nice occasion outfits, some professional shoes so I don't have to wear chucks with my pantsuit, some new everyday shoes that aren't falling apart, a new phone that isn't falling apart, and a bunch of long term savings bonds so no matter how stupid I am with the rest I can be secure in my future.
A luxury dirigible. I've talked about this for years. If you had all sorts of money, it'd be a great way to see the world. You can anchor it anywhere that you can tie a rope to, and I get seasick. Plus, you could probably take a few people with you if you wanted, but not like an assload of people.

First thing would be my retirement. Second would probably be international travel. Third would be a new house closer to family for my wife's sanity and convenience in dropping the kid off at grandparents while we travel. Fourth would probably be my MILs retirement since she has worked 2 jobs since my wife was a kid.
A small neighborhood. Just land with connecting roads in effect. Then I'd hire (an) architect(s) and contractors to build awesome modern style houses with tons of cool amenities. A few would be guest houses for friends and relatives.
One would be a photography studio more than a house. Then I'd find a way to invite creative giants to come and use the houses as a retreat. Kind of like Richard Branson did Obama.
I'd buy a big ol' chunk of land and re-create deathmatch levels from Goldeneye on the N64 and grab a tonne of paintball guns etc. Each level would have its own sound system to play its correct level music. I'd also have costumes made so you can dress up as your favourite character - from Baron Samedi to the Jungle Commando.
I'd consider opening it up to the public at some point. Maybe.
I'd find a rather remote, smallish town and either buy/build/convert it to a huge, private urban paintball area. Totally deserted, think "Walking Dead" or "I am Legend".
Also I'd hire a producer/film crew to wire everything with cameras like they did in "The Tournament".
And then the fun begins :-)

A clubhouse with various themed rooms for different games and entertainment.
Dungeons and Dragons would take place in the "adventure" room of course, around an extravagant gaming table (Geek Chic is out of business, but I'm sure I could find another way to get one). The room would normally be styled like a medieval tavern, but decorations could be swapped out to make it look like a forest, a castle dungeon, etc. There would even be a configuration where all the walls infinity mirrors.
LAN gaming would be in a room styled like a starship bridge. Each bridge station would have an awesome computer setup. The whole room would be rigged with hydraulics to make it shake when playing games like Artemis.
There would also be a home theater for watching movies and shows and playing couch co-op games.
There would also need to be car seat setups somewhere for racing games.

I don't know if this is lavish since it helps others, but KSMO (Santa Monica) airport. The city owns it and has been trying to close it down for years. I'd buy it so it could stay open and fully operational.
A remote island with a fully self sustaining solar system augmented with wind hydro and plumbing. There's a secret tunnel that leads to underground bunkers. And it's full of guns and non perishable food.
Finally a place where I can wait out the apocalypse.

Pick up chicks, drink to much and see the world, if anyone got in my way the coach that double up as my ride in garage following behind me will run them down Mad Max style!!!
I would find the most expensive house in my area that I liked and buy it and all of the houses on the street so that I could have a compound to chill at and invite my friends/family to hang out or stay at whenever they wanted. Also, one of those houses would be entirely dedicated to and fully stocked with board games and a massive library of RPG rulebooks and materials. and at least one of the rooms would be a fully decked out D&D playroom.
The ultimate man cave,- full bar, poker table, tabletop gaming table, pool table, huge TV with sports channels and really comfy leather sofas , a cabinet for all of my board games and a dart board.

I'd buy waterfront property and then an eco friendly, self sustaining cabin in the mountains and a new car, nothing extravagant, but better than the current one I have which is slowly costing more in repairs than it's worth. Then I'd help out my friends and family, pay off my friends' college debts, buy a couple of them decent cars, help them out with rent for a year or help them travel for a year so that they'll be able to actually figure out and pursue their passions in life instead of just doing what makes sense to make a living. I want to see what they can make happen when money isn't an issue. All my friends have such amazing potential to be genuinely good contributors to the earth and society. I want to see the people I love living their best lives. Also everyone goes to mandatory therapy of some kind for that year, therapy is good shit.
Basically, I'd set them up so that they have a year or two to get help with whatever issues they have (everybody's got issues), figure out what they love doing and then set them off to go live how they want afterwards.

Average size house built by the most anal, precise builders I can find. Moog synthesizers too
Personally Fund a manned mission to Mars, with the caveat that I can tag along as some sort of mission specialist (I think I have some useful skills in tech).
I would buy every single game console I've missed in the past five years of being low income and all the games I've wanted to play, and just hide myself away for a week or until I'm ready to deal with being a sudden billionaire.

The Viva La Bam model (though he was only a millionaire)...
I'd buy a castle big enough to accommodate all of my favorite people forever after. I'd give them all trust funds so no one would have to work, and we'd spend all of our time just hanging out enjoying life, making adventures together.
Of course I could write a whole essay about all of the things I'd stick inside the castle with my money. But that's the foundation. Friend Mansion.
I'd build my own gym and pull out all the stops: powerlifting racks, high level cardio machines, OCR training setup with bars and rigs and a warped wall, triathlon training area with top level cardio equipment including an endless swimming pool to train, grappling mats, and at least a training cage for MMA. Then come the amenities: steam room, massage tables and all the physio stuff you'd need, kitchen w/ all sorts of protein powders. Add in some cool murals on the walls and stock it with extra gym clothes for when my friends want to lift and I'd be in heaven. I'd probably spend half my day there.
I would fund scholarships. One would be in the name of my late ex-husband and would be for adult students with disabilities. The other would be in the name of my late best friend and would be for single moms. Then I would fund one at the university my daughter graduated from and one at the university my son graduated from. Finally, I would fund one at the university I graduated from and one specifically for postal workers.

3 apartments, one in Mancheser (home city), one in London and one in New York (because why the fuck not). spend my time rotating around the three doing stuff I want to do and maybe do some writing, and just keep myself busy and hope that the interest alone on the remaining money can be a decent salary.
also a Jaguar, a McLaren and a Ferrari, one at each apartment

I'd buy a small country (or most of one). Like Nauru or Tuvalu or someplace similar. If some locals didn't want to sell their property and leave I'd gradually populate the place with my friends until we could vote ourselves into government and take control. Then I'd have them elect me dictator or something. Then I'd be able to do whatever I wanted there.
I'd make a list of the 20 people throughout my life who I thought were the most unselfish and kind and I would give them each $1 million dollars to do with whatever they please.
I'd just like to see what they might do with it and if I'm giving it to really nice, grounded people I think it could go well. Also, $1 million isn't enough to make most people go crazy and do something dumb.

A driver and a hair stylist. That's two things. I've thought about this before. Ironically, I wouldn't need either one if I became a billionaire because I'd quit my job and never leave the house again.
First thing? A McLaren, preferably a convertible. Most extravagant? Keeping my wealth a relative secret so I can enjoy traveling the world safely and somewhat privately, without being photographed for stupid celebrity magazines.
Buy a large building, hire 50 of the smartest scientists and engineers, buy the finest prototyping equipment, a rack of servers, spend the rest on producing the stuff that the research invents, do some science, bitches, and solve all the problems. Well, a few, anyway.
My immediate โcrazy rich guyโ plan would have 4 phases:
1) Hire a ring announcer and pyrotechnics guy.
2) License a song to use as entrance music.
3) Find the most mundane, boring, dead-end, low wage job possible.
4) Show up to said job every day with a full-on pro wrestler ring entrance.
I would do this until Iโve either been fired from every hourly job in the country, or until one of them cracks and starts selling merch.

A cozy vacation home (sumptuously decorated and comfortable) in at least 7 different countries (Japan, Ireland, New Zealand, and Hawaii [Yes, not a country but that specific area of the US] for sure), all of which will have a large, comfortable interior room designed and set up like a movie theater with a huge screen, surround sound and giant cushy chairs for all my friends that are invited to spend time with me. Also a private jet (luxury liner of course) to travel between all of them at my leisure.
An entire apartment in a very specific building thatโs near my place of studies and built inside a big store chain/mall. Not sounding too crazy yet right? Well Iโd bribe the owner into changing pet policy to allow cats.

There's a man who wronged someone I care about years ago in a way that I won't describe here.
He runs a gaming store somewhere.

Then, I'd go out for sushi.
I don't even like football.

A personal driver. A big house filled with a ton of stuff would stress me out. Know what I hate, though? Driving. The rest can go into business ventures, charity or some shit, but if I've got this driving situation sorted I'm set for life.
I'd pay for full fibre to the premises to be installed to my village. Then order the fastest package going. So probably 1Gbps down. Sick of living with 0.5Mbps download.
Buy a Ferrari, travel through Europe, and get a live- in personal trainer. Aside from that Iโd mostly want money just so I donโt have to work unless I wanted to. Iโd probably end up just taking university degrees for the sake of it. Without the pressure of money, university would not be that stressful.

I would reconfigure the small downtown of my town and bring in some kickass restaurants. The way itโs laid out now the small park is next to the train tracks and a line of historic buildings blocks the view to the creek and park.
BSU has a microgravity lab. I'd donate a billion dollars straight to it. Next I would invest in three different venture capital rocket companies with conditions that 100% of the funds be used for R and D. I would split 1 billion between all three.
Last is would carte blanche a billion dollars to NASA.
A processing/number-crunching setup, primarily for BOINC, complete with some of the most powerful Tesla cards in the industry. And not just a single machine, I am talking about an entire rack of machines tooling away.
A 10 meter statue of myself but made from 20 different types of expensive rocks (different marbles granites and different semi precious rocks) molten and mixed together and then cast into a block to later be carved into the statue. I know that it would probably black in the end because what maes different rocks is the way they crystalize since they are essentially the same minerals with different crystaline structures and impurities (exept marble since it comes from limestone).
If someone came and said that 20 different rocks couldnt be molten together i would just change to making it out of ALL the natural elemental metals combined in equal parts of mass. Yes even mercury and uranium.
I wonder how much that would cost...
I'd hire a chemist to invent crazy new drugs for me and then throw some wicked parties on my private island(like the movie the beach minus the evil drug lords). I'd also hire a team of chemists to invent a pill that got rid of the Asian flush so that I would become even more of a billionaire!
A billion? Maybe a 1,000 sq ft house in San Francisco and an ice cream should just do it.

I mean sure I'd get the usual lavish house and car but if we're going the MOST extravagantly lavish I'm going a watch. I desperately want a Patek Phillipe grand complication but the one I like costs 250,000., which is fucking absurd, until I have a billion dollars to blow.
A billion probably wouldn't cover it, but I'd take care of my kid's future college costs, or current housing/car/bill issues, and then I'd buy the Cinderella Castle Suite at The Magic Kingdom. Mine. For whenever I wanted to visit and/or crap in a golden toilet.
I would design and build mini golf complex with really fun courses, a gigantic classic quarter arcade and a 2 story modular maze facility which I would rent out for haunted houses and paintball tournaments.
I think I would pay forward the people that helped me in my time of need. I know its not lavish and not a waste but it would make me feel better than buying something.
A fucking castle. Yup. I'm going to the UK and buying the fuck out of some castles. And I'm gonna fill it with medieval furniture & decor. They'll be my summer homes and I'll only wear Renaissance clothing and write with quills and ride in a carriage.
month long liveaboard dive cruise. trip to singapore eat all the dumplings and receive new dive gear purchased though amazon. back to liveaboard cruise to liveaboard cruise
I'd pay off all my debt and start a college fund for my nephew and the children of a friend of mine who's a single mom. Then, I'd buy a boathouse and use that to travel.
Meet with HUB companies to convince them to expand or relocate to my city. I'd shoot for a mix of manufacturing and tech jobs. Institute a requirement to hire locally first.
Community improvement programs and home improvement programs.
Family/drug/alcohol counseling and assistance programs.
Bar Wal-Mart from ever coming to our city.
Improve schools and push to get a college annex in our city.
Decide on where I want to live, in a house large enough for my wife and I, and some reasonable number of kids, and outright buy (not mortgage or anything) 3 houses a short walk apart - one for the wife and I, and one for each of our sets of parents. It would be out of the city, but not an unreasonable commute to my wife's current job. I would then demolish one of the houses, and have a specific architecture firm build a new house there to my specifications. When the timing of that project means least interference for the next project, I'll do the same for a parents house, then the same for the last house. I would also buy a specific couple of cars.
Then I hire a financial adviser to tell me what to do with what's left, because it's too late for them to tell me not to throw money hand-over fist at rebuilding 3 houses for no apparent reason.

Tech.
I have always wanted to run a review site for high end computer and server components, but the barrier of entry is super high and I don't have the time due to having to work to support myself. But with money to spare and throw at side projects, you can bet your ass I would be building super computers for shits and giggles, and I would expand my small time hosting operation to a full business.
Most of the things I want to do would still return money to me and might eventually turn a profit, but the barrier of entry is so high that I likely will never be able to do any of it.

Nothing honestly. I would move buy a reasonable house and pay off every bit of debt in my families name including inlaws and everybody and finally not worry 24/7 how I will make it to tomorrow.
Edit 3: Someone in the comments in the aforementioned link said "people jars", if you are seeing this and thinking to yourself, "well right on, that sounds like exactly what it is, I'm going on Google to have a gander!" Don't, the images are disturbing.
I'd buy a life- sized, custom ordered, movie quality, iron man suit. But not just one, I'd buy every variation avaliable ie. Different paint jobs, every Mark, every add-on. I'd line my garage with these suits, so i could dress up at my leisure. "I think I'll go with the Mark IV today", and I'd go about my life like normal. Ever seen Iron Man buy groceries? Now you have. Ever seen Iron Man go to the doctor? Now you have. Ever seen Iron Man play a round of golf? Now you have.
I'd also go skydiving constantly, and when people ask why i need a parachute, il tell them that i probably shouldn't be flying around while I'm baked af, because im iron man and who is gonna stop me. I'd also get one of those personal jetpacks, so i could fly around for reals, and I'd join the make-a- wish foundation, and beat John Cena for most wishes granted, just so i can add that to my list of Accomplishments.
Iron- manโ
The ability to literally flyโ
Beat John Cenaโ
I'd also convince my kids and any visitors/friends that stay with me (I have a mansion controlled by JARVIS, why wouldnt they stay with me?), that the first iron man movie is actually a documentary based on my life, and all the rest are dramatizations, the scripts of which ii had to approve. But i really am pals with all of the Avengers and Nick Fury. Infact, they all come over to my house every month and we play water polo.
Who is gonna stop me? Im iron man

Buy all properties around a lake and have it be my own. Rent out (or give away) the purchased properties to my friends and family to use at their leisure
I would buy as many Nintendo Switches and as much nintendo memorabilia as they would make for me (i'm talking $100m usd worth) --- and I would travel the world handing things out to people. I would be a real life santa - but without the weird "he looks like he might touch little kids" vibe.
I would have a Tour bus sized vehicle built up with monitors and Raspberry Pi machines (and Switchs of course) so people could hang out and play games for a bit. Basically I would spend at least 10-20% of it literally just buying things for people just to make them happy (mostly kids but some adults too).
Kid walks by wearing a pokemon shirt?
BAM, You get a switch.
Dude makes an epic play in my game of league?
BA-BAM, Gimme dat address cause i'm sending you a switch homie!
Literally every kid/teenager/gamer that i see in walmart? Yeah, i know you're broke homie, I was there YESTERDAY! Lemme get that switch for you dawg.
Oh, and I'd buy a comical amount of marijuana. Just as much as I could possibly find. Dump trucks full of bud. Like enough that i can have a super-combo-blunt between my fingers every waking minute of the day for the rest of my life, if i so choose ---- x10
Depending on how much money i actually had id probably wanna help EVERYONE. literally everyone id just give my money away. extravagantly lavishing i know, maybe a little crazy some would say
A full blown self sufficent castle with moat and drawbridge, razorwire and electric fence around the perimetre wall, a vegetable patch, solar panels/wind turbines and some farm stock and all the mod cons and a broadband satalite.
Honestly? I wouldn't waste it at all. I would invest in property and put my savings into private banking and never have to worry about money again as I could live off the interest and rent from my properties. I would buy an apartment in some of my favorite cities, lease them out while I was away, and travel endlessly. I would set my mum up with a house in Australia and a chef. I would also give a percentage to homeless, LGBTQ charities and a percentage to research facilities to help them cure to autoimmune diseases and cancer.
Guess I'm borin'. The fun will be had when I'm endlessly traveling around the world partying.
i would buy a mansion, and in a portion of the mansion, i would install a bunch of fake vines and such, and then import sloths to the property and just have sloths crawling around my ceilings. cuz that would be badass
I know this could technically be two things; but, I'd hire a full-time, live-in dog nanny who could also qualify as a chef. They could take the dog on walks, hikes, to dog parks, etc. then ensure we have good food ready when we get home from work. Also, home-cooked breakfast every morning!
This way, the time at home with our pup is happy fun play time and snuggles!

I would buy a pretty big worthless piece of degraded land and work on it to restore the ecosystems that were lost. It will never be exactly the same but what I am aiming for is the original climax ecosystem, some would argue there is no true climax ecosystem but it is a useful term in many cases. I don't have to be a billionaire to do this so I guess I am not thinking very extravagantly today :D.
Edit: Worthless as in I won't make any money from it, especially considering I would not be creating say an optimal timberfarm.

I'd start my own orchestra. With only my friends. Fill each section with my favorite people that I've met over the years-- it would become the best orchestra around.
I'd buy 2 large hangars, make large storage rooms out of it and then hire those rooms for other companies for storage for a cheap price.
Then I'd buy decent portions of land. One is for myself which would be hunting ground in the forest with a strong running river and full of animals.
The other would be a small farming/building land, where I would build a farm/deli where I'd sell fresh meals pulled right out of the ground and fresh meat yanked right from the ass of a cow. It would be a small family business with a friendly dog.
I would also buy a small building just for my retro game collection, and collect as much as I please.
I leave the rest of my money for education for my future kids, and if they are interested, they'd inherit my hangars to maintain its business and maybe even expand.
I would buy a newer house that's about 50% nicer than my current house in my same neighborhood. I'd also buy one of the neighbor houses and knock it down for my lamborghini garage.
I would build a nice centrally located house in my city and design an amazing study for my boyfriend with built in bookshelves for his collection of books. Then I'd pay off all our debt and send our families to Europe.

I would buy 5000 acres. I would build a modest 3 bedroom house with an 8 car garage. I would have an absurd workshop for blacksmithing and woodworking. I would have a full pistol and rifle range going out to 1000 meters. I would have a trebuchet capable of throwing engine blocks at least 300 yards. My wife can have a barn and all her horse crap. I would make sure my driveway goes through some scary woods and I would but creepy signs that say all sorts of insane shit with misspellings all over the first few hundred yards of it. "Jesus is lard!" "Obummer!" "Violators will be persecuted!"The start rumors about how insane I am in town.
I would build a batcave--not bat-themed, but a batcave. Just a place I could go to do whatever I want, whenever I want, alone or with a small group of friends.
Would have to include: huge gaming setup, home theater with great chairs, library/office for creative work, gym, and of course a badass secret entrance--maybe like the iron maiden trapdoor slide from Batman Returns.

Right away just invest in a clone version of myself.. for the sole purpose of handling all the mass people that would come out of the woodwork asking for money constantly along with their sad stories of why..

I would buy a thousand Tesla model Es and have a random drawing for poor people who cant afford a car. Just the sight of a family less fortunateโ getting a gift like that would be worth it.
I'd help fund genetic engineering for cosmetic purposes to help people feel more like themselves in their own skin.
I'm no SJW by far, but I know what self-hate can do to a person's psyche(?) From my own experience with it and don't want that to be something people will experience ever in the future.
And then I'd buy a very nice desktop pc for gaming and at some point be one of those people that puts in like 10 grand to Humble Bundle. I'd probably also donate at SGDQ or AGDQ a similar amount.
Before i buy anything. I'm going to work with a pocket full of 100$ bills. I'm going to gather my bosses and fellow employees in the lobby. After that, I'm tossing the bills up in the air and yelling "I QUIT!!"
Then I'm going to go buy a garage and fill it full of useless cars that I'll probably only drive once or twice.
Edit: I'm also building a castle somewhere in the middle of no where that is going to look ancient but have all modern applicances but can also be functional without electricity or gas.
A large section of land, like 500+ acres and have a personal mansion built...the wasteful part, having an interior wall that never sees sunlight built as a multi-thousand gallon salt water fish tank that could be my own growing and evolving coral reef.
There is a cattle farmer in Spain that specializes in carefully raising older cows (14-16 years old) rather than the standard method of speed fattening younger cows. Supposedly the steaks from these cows are insane. I want to try one and I would probably hire a decent chef to cook the steak for me.
An historical mansion in San Diego. I want to move back so badly.
Also, a Tesla, with the largest amount of battery power so I can travel at least a little.
And the most important thing: the best medical and dental insurance plans money can buy. Currently I'm on Medi-Cal, and can't get the dental care I need, or see a psychologist. The wait list to see a Medi-Cal psychologist is years long. Currently I'm seeing a counselor who is a student at Goodwill, but those counselors change every year, by the time I finally feel like I'm making progress.
I'd spend 900 million to make a media watchdog company. It would be a meta-news channel that reported on inaccurate reporting by other news channels, exclusively.
I'd pay scientists to grow me a second (8 inch, lets upgrade) penis using my own dna so it wont reject, and attach it so i can be like double dick dude, while also proving money can buy anything.
Then I'd get a third put on, just so I can 1-up him like hes been doing to everyone else all this time.

Doing everything in my power, licensing whatever I'd need to license, hiring whoever I can hire, to make sure that the world gets just one more really good Tony Hawk game, to make up for the shitshows that THPS 5 and HD were.
I'd buy out the entire next Taylor Swift concert and then hire actors to fill the stadium. About 2/3 of the way through the concert, I'd have them all just leave. Lol.
I would build a small room, put a top end desktop in there, have a kitchen with a professional chef attached to it, then smoke a shit tonne of weed and hotbox the room while playing on my new computer and getting meals from the chef.

I would just get a first class ticket to Maui and play some golf and do some traveling.
I am sober from drugs and alcohol. That would probably go out the window. This is one of my favorite fantasies to indulge in. Of course, im sure i would discover that at some point, no matter how much money you have there is not enough drugs to make you happy so that would be disappointing, but it sure as shit would be a wild ride. Going to South America to get the best stuff. Oh my just wonderful.
I would probably lose all the money in a few weeks.

I would buy a large plot of land and build a few greenhouses. This way I can enjoy growing for local markets make a small living while still be crazy rich.
Honestly I would be a very boring billionaire. I would initially pay off all my debt, and the debt of a few close family members. After which I would find a nice apartment that I would enjoy living in in a town close by. I would then furnish the apartment with good furniture and electronics including a upgraded pc. After all that I would fly me and my good friends to Japan for a week. After that the vast majority of my money would never be touched.

I'd pay a Formula 1 team to let me do some free practice sessions then go on /r/formula1 to see all the "WTF, this guy's 20 seconds off the pace, what's he doing in a F1 car?" comments.
If I won the lottery I'd make powertipping waitstaff a thing and fool other rich people into trying to outdo me. Like some of these people well up at $20 let's take it into overdrive. r/powertipping
For the most part, if I woke up a billionaire, Iโd be boring as fuck. Iโd pay off what college debt I already have and cease worrying about taking out new loans. Iโd buy myself a car. Iโd scope out a reasonably-priced apartment for myself and not think twice about paying extra so I can have a pet. The most extravagant thing I can think that could be considered a wasteโsome inessential to my living daily lifeโwould probably be buying every goddamn Metal Earth model and a nice display case to put them all in because goddamn so I love those things.

Open a series of food kitchens for the homeless, and/or underpaid people. I volunteered in one, and they had to use vegetables where half the bag was rotten and they had to dig through it to get to the healthy stuff because it was donated food. Also there's a tonne of families that use that to feed their kids.
If I had a few million I would open one in my local town, and set up drug rehab/job search help/housing help for those that need it. It's something I always wanted to do if I'm ever successful. Might as well make the money help people. I would set up with local farms for their non selling produce, the ugly, deformed stuff, and set up with a local meat farmer, and get them healthful food each day, and try to have a varied menu if it's at all possible, so people who come every day aren't eating turkey mince meat, and steamed veges, every day.
I would build the most lavish and perfect horse property possible, I'd have hydrotherapy machines to give aqua massages to my horses, central heat and A/C in all parts of the barn, I'd buy more horses and hire a saddle maker to custom make multiple saddles for every horse, so each horse would have a custom jumping, Western, and dressage saddle made to fit them perfectly as well as matching bridles and halters. Each horse would have the full matching set of brushes and blankets and such in their own color scheme and monogrammed. You get the idea, every equestrians dream barn and set up for their horses with the best care possible and beautiful riding rings and trails on property
I would build my father in law and disabled sister in law a new house next door because theirs is too big and old for my FIL to care for and they both have health issues so itโd be nice to have them close by

Iโd buy fiber cable and have it installed across the the US mainland, Alaska, and Hawaii. Then Iโd start my own ISP and give the free world the free speech it needs, without the threat of big corporations keeping their voices silent and amplifying the false voices supporting those corporations.
Although Iโm sure that might cost more than a billion dollars.
The best home entertainment systems money can buy. Ranging from high end PCs, to 100" 4K TV, to a gymnasium sized gaming room (lan parties, pool, arcade games, ect).
I would hire 5 different chefs each day, Jillian Michaels to yell at me so I wouldn't get fat from the meals, my own chopper, my own personal stylist, a bigger house with actual storage space and a big ass pool and definitely a lazy pool with Bluetooth speakers everywhere so I could skip music with my watch, a movie theater for adults - no kids because they have their own Playtown soundproof room where we pay someone to watch them and listen to their screams... adults could check-in on their kids on the monitors (no sound) oh and a private plane or jet or whatever to travel anywhere in the world. I would make or pay someone to make these worldwide connections and stay at other filthy rich peoples homes so I could copy more ideas of what else to buy when you're loaded...
I'm a simple guy normally, but I'm pretty sure I would spent untold sums of money building myself and my wife a house that is EXACTLY what we want, down to the most minute detail. I've always wanted a house that was more spacious than the one we have now, obviously, but I'm talking taking it to the point where I have a Tony Stark Style computer interface built-in to almost every surface of the house, sort of like Bill Gates has on his right now. Probably in Tuscany.

I would get a live in personal trainer/chef/GTA Online player combo so I can stop eating unhealthy shit, lose weight, and finally get past that humane labs heist stealth set up without having to rely on randoms.
Buying a satellite which I would use to drop out of orbital just to take out a small shed on my property that has been a bane to my existence for some time now.
First I would research and build 3d-printers that could use generic local resources like mud and plant-fibers to make self-contained eco-friendly houses. I would then automate an armada of these to build villages in vast empty swaths of land around the world.
As "Normal" as this may sound--even though we have a nice one--I'd probably buy a piece of land (or small island in The Chesapeake Bay) and build a new house.

If I had that much cash, I'd probably buy two Teslas, and a corvette. Give money to my mom who's a interior designer to help her build her dream home. I would get to level 1000+ on steam during the next winter sale. I would pay off all of my immediate families debts. I would try find a way to help fund a video game studio, or help invest in other game studios to help create great games. I'd also like to use some to travel to other countries with a friend and family. I'd love to visit Japan, South Korea, and China.
All that could be done for less than a million though.... So the rest I'd save or invest. I'd probably end up hoarding various retro collections, and expanding my YouTube channel to share my experiences.
First, I'd buy a whole bunch of equipment, software, synthesizers (old and new), mixing boards, speakers, computers, a studio set up, instruments, etc.
Then, I'd hire someone to personally teach me music production. They'd be on-call whenever I need it. We'd start right in on making tracks I've long-since had in my head but have never known how to make. I'd learn everything from music theory, point/counterpoint, chord structures and progressions... Everything that can help me understand how to make the sounds in my head come to life.
My studio would be in a house somewhere in San Diego, preferably somewhere where I can be left alone.
I'll have my own personal ISP so I never need to worry about limits to speed or data caps or whatever. I'd use that to spend money on buying stem files for tracks I love so I can remix or mash up m
I'd hire a few more people to come in, listen to my music, and provide detailed, critical feedback on my productions.
And from then on, I'd make music. Prolifically. Not really for money-making purposes, but because I can and I want to share what I live with everyone
Honestly. I would spend it on my stepmother and real dad without question. Make sure they are all tucked away and happy. After that, I'm not really sure tbh.
I'd buy all the billboards around the Twin Cities and put my shit eating grin on them. That or buy all the world's pants and have a pants burning party.
I would redo whatever kitchen I had to make it an amazing open concept design with the best cast iron, nonstick pans, and pots in addition to top notch appliances (ovens, refrigerator, etc.). Granite countertops because they look great and last forever plus you can put hot pans on them. I don't even want to start thinking about what I'd do for my bathroom and potentially making a den/office with the walls covered in bookshelves.
Iโd be one of those types that commutes in it. Live 100+ miles from the office and still only have a 30-45 minute commute would be killer. Like, make it from Hollywood to catch a Ducks game in Anaheim in 30 minutes, or from NYC to the Berkshires in 45.
That and box seats to a hockey game in a major hockey market, lol.
Build a huge greenhouse/dome and create an ecosystem. With a hot tub and whatnot

Funny thing; I actually asked myself something similar when I was young, like 6-8 years old. My answer was "I would want my video game system to play any game I want. I also want a VCR that can play any movie I want.I also want to be able to play or watch movies whenever or wherever I want.
Whelp, it looks like my dream came true. I guess if I woke up tomorrow a billionaire, I would simply retire, play video games and watch movies for the rest of my life.
I would honestly buy a castle and make into my childhood dream house, with secret passages, a trapdoor, bubble and fog machines everywhere and each room would have a different theme eg fantasy/magic, steampunk, sci fi, cyber gothic, victorian gothic, and of course themes from my favourite games. There would also be a fully staffed animal sanctuary which i would run along with persuing many differnt types of art. There would obviously be a labrinth with a giant library in the middle
Adult me would of course have a dungeon, proper heating and good wifi etc. Just the basics.
I would pay all my hospital bills and student loan debt. That, to me, is the most extravagant cost I can think of.... maybe upgrade my Ford Focus to something all wheel drive but I wouldn't be too picky.
A house with a lot of rooms for colleting stuff, a monster of a PC, another PC used for complete VR room (full setup for space sims, racing, etc.). Buy or start a game dev studio, and than start buying every video game made to complete my collection. Than I would be complete. <3 Than I would work with my dev studio and try to make amazing games.

First class tickets with Emirates, or another airline that has those ridiculous first class cabins, to somewhere far away and warm for me and the husband. Then pay a ridiculously high amount of money for about five very highly trained, smart, highly experienced in special needs, nannies to look after our two (yes, just two) devilspawn while we're away. Because I haven't so much as had a date night with my husband for nearly five years now.

Have a giant conveyor belt out front of my mansion that will cycle between which luxury car I feel like driving that day and brings it to my front door
I personally allways thought it would be pretty neat to have a chinese back scartcher. Perhaps head and beard too.
I don't mean like a thing, I mean, an actual person, whose only job it is to do the scritching. Or, much rather, three. Because billionaire, why not?
So, I'd travel china, looking everywhere for the one that has the perfect technique. I am talking, baba the magic barber from pushkar, but for back scritchies. Just the right ammount of fingernails, you know. Then, make her a job offer for a reasonable salary, by western standarts, with enough money left over to send some home, good benefits, plus a greencard if I can afford it, plus an option for her family members to move here. Plus, insurance, and a proper education.
Nothing sexual, mind you, I am a happy man, and I am not picky on the age, but the technique for the fingers has to be on point. And what the heck, since possibly, I am a bit of a difficult customer, lets make that three girls, so they can share the workload, and share tips on techniques and whatnot.
Then, when all the other billionaires ask me, what the fuck did you do with your billion dollars, I can happily go, Hey, I bought myself a chinese back, head and beard scratcher.
And in exchange, they would be my plus one, in case I need to brag. "OOOh, your maibach is in the shop? and you had to take the jag? Anbd your island experiences bad weather? Oh, my dear, see, Mei Lin here just bought herself a Ford Focus and drove here, I came here just having a stroll and eating some icecream, you know what, tell me all about how luxurious driving a Maibach is while she scritches my head, and I sit here with a huge ass smile, while you sit here depressed as shit and totally pent up. Oh, and if you think about going "does she do happy endings too", for her birthday, I presented Mei Ling with her personal bail money account, in case she needs to swarm on a motherfuckers ass, and a cattleprod that she is just itching to use. "
That would be the top of the lavish scale I could imagine, on a permanent basis.
Alternatively, if you count settling personal grudges, open a mariuanna plantation in north korea, and ship it out by boat.
Like, legit, go up to a north korean embassy, and go, good day sir, see this bucket of money, and these three hippy looking fucks here? Those are hippies on retainer, yes, I have hippies on retainer, you will lead them around every piece of property you have for sale in north korea that they deem good for planting mariuanna on, they will take soil samples, photos of the local landscape, and come back to me, and if I am happy, you will get yourself a 200000 $ investment per year. It would require locals to work the field, maybe grow a bit of local food on the side, for the canteen, but the main purpose would be to grow massive ammounts of mariuanna for consumption overseas and local sale.
Oh, and if you don't have a natural harbor for the sticky icky, Kenneth here that is profusely sweating has a doctorate in biology and chemistry, and is a survival prepper, and knows how to fashion one. And then sell the produced mariuanna at a discount on the international market, in every country where weed is legal, and then just go, this was grown in north korea, at fair practices, and completely eco friendly. the money you could do from that is amazing.
And then hire just one guy to make mistakes intentionally. Like, if a famine is coming on, he grows all this field full of corn, on the side, and he goes, yuck, this is cross contaminated, it makes the weed less potent and rich in taste, away with thee. And just pays some local farmers to take it "Out of his hands". And the plantation would have a bigass canteen, to provide the weed farmers and everyone who has to work there with a breakfast, tea, lunch and dinner. Plus, import other eco friendly shit, like european bees, and so forth, for optimal eco footprint. Plus, of course, language classes for the field workers, so they can understand german / english, and the managers the local dialect.
Not only would I be making money hand over fist, it would also elevate a reasonable percentage of the local population, would have the imported european communist hippies with a safe and first hand experience with what communism is actually like, and would most likely have the north korean leadership scratching their heads with what this means. But, on the broad side, Kim Jong Un would get a personal present from me, like a coo coo clock. Every year.
Plus, what eco friendly product could compete with "grown in north korea, where most GMO and pesticide firms have an embargo and legally can't deliver. " So it would piss off the fair trade crowd, and the "we have to embargo north korea" crowd.
But the biggest benefit would be to walk up to Leonardo di Caprio, and go, what, you worked with a London based company to offsett your carbon footprint? Let's see, I am currently employing 3000 + north koreans, growing weed inside north korea, I feed them, I pay them fairly, and I care for them, oh wow, you planted a wood? Motherfucker, I export a wood each week. And customers are ripping each other to get a kilo of highest grade power skunk for a dollar.
On a sidenote, hire the guy who does the "Primitive Technology" channel for youtube, invite him over to our plantation, give him his own sectioned off area to go nuts in, and just build. I would call him, my personal Minecraft guy. Just produce video after video, that has to be uploaded over the net, and shows him just doing thing, making bricks, ect.

I would get the absolute best plastic surgery money could buy, and buy a penthouse or brownstone in the Village; get a car and driver. Plus charter a private flight or a luxury cruise to a private tour of the great museums of Europe.
and a kitkat bar.
I'd have all my political enemies rounded up and quietly disappeared. Not killed - I'm not a monster - but put on an uninhabited island somewhere with no way to contact the outside world.
Build a subterranean medieval themed man cave complete with a pool, torches, and a dungeon but the cells are gaming nooks. It would be full of technology but in a subtle way that make sit seem more like a mix of magic and mechanical contraptions.
After /u/DeuceIsWild 's answer, and also, a helicopter + pilot.
I'd drop about $10,000 on a dream gaming rig, another $50-80k on a mid-level luxary car with NON-bolstered seats.
And then start planning my 2500-3000 sq ft. dream home.
And then make sure the majority of my money was well distributed in various annuities, investments, securities, and so forth - a few mil in the bank for quick use too.
Yesterday on the way home from work, I passed by Central Park and wished I could live in an apartment overlooking it so I could wake up with that view. I know itโs silly and overpriced, but thatโs what Iโd get, no question.

I would move to NYC and learn to make pizzas from Best Pizza(?), the place featured on Fuck That's Delicious. Then I'd open the best barcade in minnesota (no shade to the Up Down, I love that place).
That has been my dream since I restored my first cab in 2012, Galaga 88 serial #12. I have the experience running bars, and my boss always tells me we should make it happen. Until I got hit by a car, I was always dirt poor working 2-3 jobs to make rent so it terrifies me to take the gamble.

My friends and I already have our ideas planned out. We want a house fully refurbished to be like a war zone for awesome paintball/airsoft battle. The windows would be one of those tempered glass, so we can break them if need be. We would be fully geared with armor, mask, the works. and as an added twist, have those military bungee cord stuff added, so we can jump from 3rd floor to 2nd floor window. Just an idea. Then maybe an ATV to have a "high speed" chase

I'd probably buy the new call of duty. I played the beta and it wasn't that great but I have multiple friends who are getting it and I feel left out. But it's not worth $60 bucks. If I had a billion dollars it would be worth it to get the game for the few hours I would play it.
Literally extravagant, I have no clue. Extravagant in my eyes would be a big piece of land in this mid sized city and building my practical/experimental dream house. We're not talking pool on the roof, helipad outside my window house. I'm talking about a house you'd build for your future 6 person family to live comfortably but with splashes of excess, like a actual gym in your basement or garage, windows that can be electrically controlled to become opaque from the outside but see through in the inside, or see through both ways. A lavish room for myself with those same windows if I wish to be alone, probably 3 stories + basement. Possibly a watchtower espque 4th floor just so I can look over the neighborhood. A natural pool (look it up, low maintenance but really cool). Medium to big yard. Possibly raised up land so the basement (garage likely at this point too) of my house is the 1st floor of my neighbors houses. Whenever I think about it, it kind of turns into a Japanese feudal castle from shogun 2 (see raised land and walls on outside) and some fallout 3/4 high-tech garage that leads up to the house

I'd get custom made perfume. I love perfume and my dream is to work with an expert and design my own bespoke one.
It can cost a couple of hundred quid or run into the thousands if you get a really top perfumer so it's a fantasy I hope to fulfill at some point with or without becoming a millionaire.
Aside from the obvious (mansion, cars, jewelry, vacations), I would buy a ridiculous luxury underground bomb shelter stocked to the brim with food/supplies.
look and take care of albine dwarves, i want some albine dwarves in my live, extra points if they are african albine dwarves, i will live in ahouse with all of them as my little childs running wild for all places, fuck beatiful womens in front of them and then make an orgy, go to the mall with them, dresses all of them with themes ( like gangstas, or cosplay or little bussines albine dwarves ), i want my albine dwarves right now !!!!
I would probably buy one of every type of game system made (barring various types of PCs and ones that had less than 100 copies made). Honestly that would be as crazy as I would get but I could see that easily running hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Buy an entire block/plot of land and make a mini city for my family and friends with houses included. I may not get along with all of them, but itโd be great for the kids to grow up with their aunts, uncles, grandmas, cousins, etc.
Would buy ticonderoga and limit the amount of pencils we release to about 200 every year. They would be a collectors item and everyone would be stuck using shitty Meijer brand pencils.
I would build my own company that protects consumer's rights, hire the best lawyers in the country, and lobby the government officials to actually get things done. I'd basically be assassinated in fewer than 3 months probably.
I wouldn't consider it wasted, but after the obligatory paying off my debts, I'd use whatever it took on fertility treatments to get at least one child of my own. After I have at least one healthy baby, then I'd go to as many agencies as needed to adopt a few older kids. God knows I have the space. After funding their college educations, I would pay off all debts for my family and friends, then donate half of the remainder to charity. The rest I'd put away for retirement.

Maybe solar panels on the saddlebags for charging a power bank. New brakes and tires. Pay someone to tune it. Get some of those fancy inner tubes. It would be amazing. I'd bike forever.

The best hotel, service and shit that money can buy. Of course also a whole new wardrobe because mine currently sucks and the experience warrants a new wardrobe.
Probably buy a house upon returning.
Then I'd pay off all the shit I owe, invest, save, max out retiring, maybe even gift some monies. Definitely spend on the fam, then just spend on all the misc things my little heart desires.
Most people say they'd pay off family debt and let them live their life free of debt, but I'd take it another step further. Build some ridiculous house that's so big that unless I wanted to know my family is home I wouldn't, and then invite all my friends and family to live with me.

Hire a group of 50+ workers to fix my house in a day along with build a giant wall around it, pay off my neighbors so I don't have to see them ever again, donate a few mil to charity, buy the most insane gaming rig Linus Tech Tips can come up with, buy every game I ever want on Steam and probably buy half of the Steam store for each of my friends, and most importantly
I would set up a legit music studio/chill room in my house with a giant drumset, guitars, bass', keyboards, ukes, pretty much any and all instruments, soundboards, soundproofing, mic set ups, computers, sound interfaces, couches, best sound system available, big screen tv's, a rack full of high end headphones, cd collection, decorations, ect. Easily could sink millions.

I was just thinking about this in the shower last night...
I live near a lake with VERY expensive very large properties. I would buy several properties right next to each other and build a wild mansion with a massive 2 story underground garage
I'd blow about 100 grand converting an RV into a rolling grow house and move it and myself to a state where doing that would be legal.
Truly though....buy off politicians to get it legalized federally. Apparently legal bribes are no big thang these days. Why not create a positive with it?
I would buy all of my close friends a home, as well as pay off their parents current mortgage and debts. I would buy my parents a mansion, clear all debts and pay for their in-home chef and maids. I would then buy a home for the chef as well as the maids. My close friends, my parents chef as well as my parents maid's children would have all college tuition paid for.
I ask that in return, they guarantee to attend any Star Wars movie nights that I may schedule.
I'd hire several large mariachi bands to follow around an ex friend. Day and night. They'll be waiting at his work, first floor apartment, try to get shows at bars he frequents, across cities and state lines... everywhere. I'll have to hire a PI to track and give instructions also because I'm not doing that shit. This is a build, release, and hands off kind of thing. Also, I'll hire 10/10 girls to match with him on tinder and just when it looks like he might get laid, they'll say they have a boy friend who is in a mariachi band. The band will then start playing wherever they are. Then everything will stop for like 6 months. At the right time, everything will start up again when he thinks it's over. Over and over and over.
I would have a robotic clone of myself built that is a perfect, realistic replica in every way, such that not even those closest to me could tell the difference. All physical characteristics and personality / cognitive functions would be exactly my actions.
Then, that clone would be sent to all the personal obligations and functions that I have no desire to attend but would normally not be able to say no to - baby showers, funerals, etc.

I would locate the perfect plot of land in several cities, perhaps condos in cities I don't plan to frequent, in several time zones and countries and begin construction in houses perfectly suited to each climate.
Townhouse in midtown Atlanta, apartment in Italy, home in Haebongcheon, Korea, summer cottage in Germany, somewhere. London, France, Brazil, I would travel everywhere, spending weeks in each location.
I would also supplant my closest friends, gifting them ~4 million apiece and offer them the chance to travel some with me.

Every surface in my house that I'd walk on would be pillow like
A Lambourghini because I prefer their styling to Ferrari's and since I'm a billionaire, I wouldn't have to worry about the fact that Lambourghinis typically depreciate more than Ferraris.
Or a beast of a PC that will be obsolete in a few years.
One is theoretically more wasteful that the other, I think. While the other would lose more value based on the initial price being so high.
Either a 2 million dollar solid steel yugioh cardade officially by Konami or a 2 hundred thousand dollar prize card given out at the first world championship
I'd buy a piece of land where I would build three houses, one for each of my daughters and a fountain with a playground in the centre for our grandchildren. A huge back veranda with a mother of a table for wednesday night family dinners. A decent chef, a wood workshop with a carpenter to finish and/or redo my messed up projects. All utilities to be be off the grid. A decent gardener to run the greenhouse with my Aquaponics system, veggies & wormery. My daughters could work looking after my money. I'll travel. I want to drive to London thru Africa flying my friends in at different stages, from Aghulhas, the southerly tip of Africa. Aah!, the dreams...
I've said this before and I'll say it again. I'll invent alligator skin as smooth as glass so I have an alligator skin cocain mirror. Then I'll have 2 pools one full of coors light and one with water. I'll also have 2 jet skis one for the normal pool/ river and one for the beer pool because I don't want dirty river water in my beer pool. Also a nice new wetsuit so I don't get cold because coors light has to stay below 30F. Also just a ton o' hookers every shape size color you name it. They arnt allowed in the beer pool
I'd pay a series of people to drive me around, also use my newly acquired riches to pay people in the streets to do random things like Impractical Jokers
I'd hire Ron Howard to narrate my life ala Arrested Development, but if he refuses or gets tired I get to shock him with a cattle prod.
Also I'd buy a small island in the Adriatic along with a one of a kind sea plane, then I'd hire some pilots to commit acts of piracy in other, but much worse seaplanes. Then I buy reddit and force /u/spez to dress up as Fio, just because.
I used to work at a gas station, I was fired for giving someone free food that I was going to throw away. They called it stealing. I'd buy that place fire the manager, fire the cook that has probably given a dozen people food poisoning by now, update the equipment, and resell the place to the only employee worth a damn, for $10.
The most expensive stateroom on the most expensive cruise ship available. Gamble in the ship's casino every night. Sleep every day. Wake up just in time to eat dinner at the captain's table. Go home to my boring town and try to sleep at night again.
Pay off my parentsโ loans/mortgages they took out to keep me in residential mental health treatment. Iโm doing much better now but the guilt still weighs on me.
Cars, I'd spend nearly a millions per on the top 10 cars I'd want to own.

Iโd book the best, highest level accommodation Disney Cruise package for my wife, son and I. Iโd also book it for all my sisters and their kids, my parents and in-laws.
Once I had that booked, Iโd go out to breakfast with my wife and son. Then come home and set an appointment with a real estate agent in Estes, CO. Head up there as soon as I needed to for the appointment and find a parcel to build a winter vacation home.
By the time all that was complete Iโd be able to go pick up my pre ordered Xbox one X.
I would buy a huge house, fully furnished, giant entertainment system, home theater, pool, hot tub, Jacuzzi tubs, the works- with a full staff of cooks, housekeeping, concierge, driver, gardener, etc. (I don't even know what other positions there would be, but I would take them all) and then another of the exact same for my parents.
I would buy a big ass ocean liner, clean all the snag hazards out of it, cut a bunch of entry/exit holes around it and lay out line clip in points all over in a bunch of progressive difficulty routes. Iโd also instal a number of easily located emergency diving bells with air tanks and surface comms, and snacks.
Then Iโd tow it out to somewhere with decent water temp, and sink that mofo in 70 feet of seawater to be my private wreck penetration playground.
I would buy out the company I work for, fire that know it all biddy on reception and that creepy new guy that hits on everyone, and give my friends raises and vacation leave. I would let my boss keep his job but make him uncomfortable knowing I own his ass. Oh and I would hire a marching band to play at exactly 5pm every day as soon as its home time.
Iโd build a house thatโs actually a supercomputer, with a bunch of solar panels on top to help with some of the electricity bills.
Thereโd be a display in every room as well.
I've thought about this a lot. I would buy an xl tour van, mostly hollow it out and fit it with multiple high end PC stations and top of the line satellite internet. Hire a driver full time and just show up to friends home/work and see if they are down to queue.
Second. I'd hire a young women as my PR/personal assistant. Her job wouldn't be to advertise me publicly per say, but her full time job would be to figure out ways to project my insane wealth to other women, to guarantee me a steady steam of new girls to spend time with. Also, she would help with my other staffing. I would need to retain the services of a nutritionist/chef, excellent doctor and personal stylist.
Actually I changed my mind. I'd buy a tesla. I've never had a new car that didn't have something wrong with it my entire life. If nothing is wrong with it when I get it (always have had used cars) something immediately breaks on it (newest used car was the transmission. I can no longer go in reverse). So yeah. I'd buy the most expensive Telsa with all of the optional stuff added in.
Iโd work with my dad to get the plans for my moms dream house and have it built for her. Iโd pay for somewhere for my sister and nephew to live for a while, until sheโs done school. Pay off my student loans, as well as putting money away for my next few years of classes. Buy out the company my fiancรฉ works for, invest in expanding it, and pay for him to get his license finally. Iโd pay for my parents to go back to school to take the fun classes they never got to. Iโd put a lot into my kidsโ RESPs and my own RRSP. Pay for my uncleโs cancer treatments. Pay for therapy for my dad, my two sisters, myself, my fiancรฉ, his family, and my stat profโs kids. Put my kids into a good daycare that will help them learn and develop fully. Buy myself a house and a modest car. Donate money to bring back the province wide bus service, and provide better funding for our mental health and addictions initiatives. Put money into employment initiatives here, and create scholarships for underserved communities. And pay for my own and several friendsโ transition expenses.
Probably an absolutely riddiculously over the top dog house, like the size of a modest human home, with water fountains, some of those fetch machines, doggy bed room with calming puppy music playing etc...more awesome dog stuff too this is just off the top of my head haha
run outside (still naked) around the block screaming for a few minutes
go buy a super car (lambo, or ferrari.. whatever i could get TODAY)
get an 8,000 dollar speeding ticket.

I'd build a super computer so powerful and with WiFi so strong it would rival NASA. Then I'd spend my free time streaming Overwatch, not for the money, but for the sense of companionship.
I'd buy a small town and make it a village for artists/academics. Just let them make art and create shit. Pay for everything. Obviously there would have to be some rules to keep people actually doing shit instead of just freeloading, but I would want to allow as much freedom as possible. Let musicians create whatever they want without worrying about having to make a hit single. Let artists and sculptors and woodworkers and whoever else make the most beautiful shit ever. Try to recreate the hanging gardens. Humans are great at making beautiful stuff, I'm not, so I'd love to fund that for people that are.
I'd buy a big ass house with maids and butlers, fully furnished, big ass pool, 100 acres, shooting range, fallout bunker, a 40 ft wall around my property with archer holes and cannons, one thousand knights guarding it day and night, I put a hold crown on and call myself king.

Really good jam.
(Thatโs jelly if youโre an American)
Iโm sorry but you can really taste the difference by spending a little extra on good jam.
I would buy the wanna be luxury apartment place I live at and become the new owner and manager and change all the bullshit,they remodeled their own office with expensive luxury shit then increase the rent for everyone like we are the ones paying for their shit yet they change nothing for the people who live there and still increase the rent of their shitty apartment.
Pay my debts. Buy a nice house in a nice neighborhood. But a shower with a built in bench and a sauna. Get a nice new car. Train till I can actually fight amateur or pro level again. Pay off my dad's house so that's a weight off his mind. Oh, and the fastest graphics heavy laptop money can buy for gaming on the go
Pay off all my debts, move to the suburbs of a big city, buy a nice 4 bedroom house with a huge kitchen and lots of windows, get a nice Subaru and a Tesla for my boyfriend. Buy the best damn wedding ring I could and propose, make sure he is set for life. I'd buy him all the best computer parts so he could have his perfect computer. Finish my culinary degree and help my boss move our restaurant to the best location and make sure she has everything she needs to be successful. Make sure my dogs have the best life. Oh, and brand name shampoo.

Whoa, brand name shampoo?! How the hell will you afford that?!
By working. I'll use my billionaire money for everything else, but I'll keep working so I can afford everything that my billionaire money won't. Also, put 25mil in the bank and live off interest.
I'd buy the fire house from Ghostbusters, along with a replica Ecto 1, a bunch of Ghostbusters uniforms and proton packs. Then I'd hire look a likes and drive around the city fighting ghosts.
I would get my own coffee shop. I've been managing one for roughly 4 years now, but to actually own one, design it how I like, make all of the rules and be the decision maker for everything, that is the dream.
Pay off my moms house and remodel it the to how she wants. Purchase myself a home, higher a maid, chef, personal shopper. And build the biggest baddest gaming laptop I can. Help my family out in specific ways like pay for my nephews college. Not extremely lavish but it's what i want.

Lots and lots of prostitutes, male and female, So I know what I'm comfortable with/like doing/like being done to me.
I would buy every house in my neighborhood and tear down everytone but mine and a few next to it and turn it into a grand private park or nature reserve.
First I'd pay off the mortgage on my family's house and wipe out any other debts. For myself, a Nintendo 3DS capture card setup, so I can start streaming and recording stuff; maybe an absurdly powerful new computer and Internet plan to boot. I'd set aside a fair bit of cash for Uber to bring me to and fro because I hate driving. From then on, all of that money goes towards bills and hobbies, which may very well include business and philanthropy. Investing in my local school system would be a good step forward.
I'm no rich bloke, but I don't want for very much. All I need is a good Internet connection, some games to entertain me, and some friends and family to share my life with. Private jets are bullshit; I just want to pursue my hobbies quietly and help folks where I can reasonably invest it.
I rarely play videogames. I don't know shit about them. But if I had a billion $ to fuck around with I'd like to make my own videogame. A good game without microtransactions.
That or I'd become a big number in Hollywood to sexually harass everybody.
Nothing too much out of the ordinary.. A large penthouse, including a home theater. To get around, a Porsche 911. And as I don't enjoy cooking, I'd hire a cook that does that for me :)

A home in the middle of nowhere with a flowing water within the yard ,place for cattle? ( read cows for milk and chicken for eggs ), place to grow crops, solar panels for enough electricity and warm water. High stone fence all around the property. If possible internet but overall I want to be able to have a place to survive in a post apocalyptic scenario where I could be completely independent.
Thats prety much my life goal :)
I'd buy a large plot of land, like hundreds of acres. Then hire construction crews to recreate skyrim, then hire a bunch of actors to live there, and then spend my days adventuring!
Or instead of actors, I'd get scientists to make robots like in West World, but ones that weren't just people, but orcs, goblins, khajiit, and dragons, so I could spend my days killing and fucking, and adventuring!

I would buy up all the houses on my street, pay to fix them & my own up to completely up to date codes (houses are a bit older in my area) and then give them to my friends, rent free (as long as they pay utilities) that they can live in as long as they want.
Also, completely up to date security stuff on them & mine (fancy security screens, camera & alarm system, etc.) and much higher walls of solid stone/concrete.
Everyone would get their choice of brand new furniture (I would take everyone on a shopping spree to Ikea!) and I'd hire a private security company to regularly patrol out neighborhood indefinitely so everyone would feel safe while they lived there.
And, any of us with pets would get free veterinary care for the life of their special friends. :)
Billionaire? Buy a whole area, build houses for me, my mom, brother and maternal aunts and uncles. My dearest friends will also get their own houses.
Why houses? Lands here are ridiculously expensive. Itโs not that everyone is poor, itโs because lands are insanely inflated.

Make an NFL team. Have them play in a crappy 10,000 seat high school football stadium but offer people so much money they have to play/coach. Also have them wear mesh practice uniforms as game jerseys. Make it to the super bowl so you have to see a gross looking team beat the patriots in prime time. Then sell it and make more money.

A fifth tour of Higher Education. This time, with hot tubs, kegerators, road trips, and hookers.
Honestly? I'd set up several trust funds for charity and making sure people with little hope in this world have a fucking chance at a happy life. So it's NOT a waste of money. In my opinion, people that blow millions on selfish reasons are assholes.

I would start by buying people's medical debts that lapsed into collection and forgiving them people need to not worry about those things. Then I guess some land in New Mexico
Not any of that stupidly gaudy food that's like covered in gold leaf and shit, but just food that I've always wanted to try that's really expensive.
Like I'd like to have a massive 16-20oz worth of filet mignon for breakfast. I've also always wanted to try real kobe beef, chilean sea bass, and caviar.
I would pay off my brother's and parents houses. Apart from that,probably just get some nicer Christmas presents for my little guy and keep on living as is.
I would ask 4-5 of my best friends to dress up as zombies, realistic zombies. Then I would call 911 about "a strange disease in x,y,z, that several of my friends passed out", then once the ambulance arrives, I would bribe them to act as if they were infected, too.
According to certain parts of society, it's a luxury.

I know the purpose of this type of questioning exists to encourage people to be creative and think of interesting, new, or funny ideas, but I'm afraid my answer isn't very original:
I'd buy a top of the line jet, like a Gulf Stream or a Lear and use it to travel the world. I think the freedom one could enjoy with having your own jet would be fascinating.
I'd make it my goal to at least visit the majority of safe western countries around the world.
I would create a company that would hire the best neurologists in a 30 year long advancement of virtual reality. I'm talking SAO levels of VR. That way we can make isekai a real video game genre and anime can get back to its roots.
I would build a huge castle (like, Edinburgh sized) on top of a renovated missile silo. Fill it with a million secret passageways, hidden chambers, and concealed compartments. Turn it into a year-round Renaissance fair, and live like a feudal king.
Maybe even be a patron for my own on-site production studio...
I have thought extensively about this for many years, and first order of business would be to get hundreds of Komodo Dragons smuggled into Florida and release them all into a swamp.

I'd have an official tester of satsumas for when they are at their sweetest. And a separate peeler who takes the skin off of each segment. Too many times I've been let down by a sour satsuma.
I'd put tunnels under my old fraternity's house connecting to other houses, the gas station, and campus. The current live-ins would say "there are literally so many other things that needed to be fixed before we got tunnels" but they would be missing the point.
Tunnels are cool.

I'd look all over North America for a second generation Subaru Forester XT in good condition with no rust.
Then I would pay lots of money to have the body modified to look like a first generation Subaru Forester.
The first gen's had the best looking exteriors, but they weren't offered with turbo in the United States. You're probably thinking, why not get a first gen and do an engine swap with the turbo? Wouldn't that be much easier and less expensive? Yes, but the first gens had those crappy cupholders and no stow compartment for the trunk cover.

I'd buy a billboard. On the billboard, the left 1/3rd will have a picture of a giant wedge of cheese in black and white. The remaining portion of the billboard will be filled black with white text saying "Have you seen me?"
It will start with one board. A few months later, a second billboard will have an identical image. A few months afterwards, two more will appear. The next month, three will appear.
No additional text, no contact information, nothing about who did it it or why additional billboards keep getting bought up. Eventually, I will reach a point where I can't get any additional boards and I'll let them simply vanish, except for the very first one. After all the other billboards have been replaced, I'll have an overlay of red text added over the first, crossing out the cheese in a red x and red text on the right saying "Nobody saw me :(".
I've been looking at inexpensive wood cabins to put on a piece of land the last few days. My price range is at their bottom, but they have some gorgeous McMansions that I would go build in the middle of nowhere if I had the resources.

I would buy a really nice house with a lot of land so my nearest neighbor was not in view. Then, I'd have a lot of nice landscaping done with a crew to manage it. I'd also overhaul the kitchen to be industrial quality. I would have a theater with a Coke Freestyle machine and play all the newest movies and any old ones, bowling alley, arcade, golf range, and a shop out back to do any project I needed.
Finally, I'd run fiber optic internet and cable. It would be perfect for my fully automated house and top of the line game room. The cherry on top, I'd have the ultimate cable package (if I had enough money left over).
A house in this great neighborhood I grew up near that always looked like a great place to raise a family. Also a high rise condo in Vegas. And a Porsche. Other than that I probably wouldn't go all out on much.
Iโd buy a ranch in Texas, some horses and build a badass recording studio in a barn. That would be my dream. Also fly in French cheeses and hire a French baker just to make me bread.
And rescue dogs. A lot of dogs.
My own private island. I'd probably end up spending a good portion of my fortune building a recreation of my childhood home as the house on the island.
I would probably buy the town I grew up in. I would buy up every house on the market to fix up the ones that are worth fixing and demolish the ones that aren't. Sell them back for pennies on the dollar. I would pay off everyone's mortgage. I would buy that stupid coal mine that everyone keeps hoping will come back and shutter it forever.
I would fix up the schools and buy them enough supplies to last 30 years. I would pay for every single person to go to the local community college if they wanted to (not regular college. What am I, a trillionaire?). I would start some sort of large business to give anyone a job and training.
That town is dying and deserves better. It also desperately needs to learn that the old days are over. Maybe throwing millions of dollars at it will help.
Oh, and I would also buy the biggest house in town right off of the town square. If I'm basically going to own the town, might as well act like it.

I'd drop a fuckton of money on the bank account of the one kid at my work place that's really taking all the chances he's getting and trying to make the best of his situation as a refugee.
Most of the other kids are spoiled brats that do nothing but compain and demand money. It'd basically be a major FU to those guys.
Probably a really high tech gaming computer and a very well equiped well stocked kitchen for my girlfriend who loves to cook and is always talking about it.
Everything else I'd spend money on would just be to ensure stable income.

Caviar. Ive always wanted to try it. and i saw this thing on worth it where they took fried chicked and dipped it in caviar like it was ranch. Id do that.
I would buy a fucking island and put a mansion on it. Hell, with a billion I would be able to buy several islands and claim myself king of an island chain!
Ahhhh shit, I'ma start an underwater apartment complex! Fully off grid and can be piloted out of the way of storms and hurricanes. Oh it's gonna be the best.
I would buy a square mile of land, with a mansion for every immediate family in my family, all just far enough away to not be able to see each other cleary if we were standing naked on our front porch.
I wouldn't actually do that. What a waste. But it's the most lavish thing I can think of.
I would purchase and run a personal road repair crew that I would bid lower than anyone else for jobs on roads I regularly use and have them work as fast as possible and do a quality job.
No more 10 mile stretches of a lane blocked for months without a single worker there for weeks and nothing being done all to end up with a shitty job and needed resurfacing again about as soon as they finish.

I would spend 1 billion to make a crazy, massive video game. Iโd get naughty dogs graphics, the rockstar team, Bethesda, dice, and a few other developers I canโt think off the top of my head, and I would spend couple hundred million just to make sure non of the developers even think about trying to make it have micro transactions or paid dlc.
I would buy property in Colorado. Build an elaborate heated and cooled chicken barn, and buy several pairs of Ayam Cemani. Proceed to serve black chicken nuggets and black eggs benedict every Halloween.

Buy and renovate a cul-de-sac or apartment block, and lease at a super low rent to old folk living alone. The only rule would be that they have to check in with one another often.
For myself? I'd love to go and hang out with that guy in Africa who is a part of a hyena pack. They're my favourite animals and getting to rough and tumble with them would be amazing.

Is it too over-the-top to buy a house just like Gatsby's in the 2013 remake?
Full size recreation of the town of Whiterun from Skyrim. Hire actors to populate it. Charge nerds $20 each to go in and screw around. $50 to beat the shit out of Braithe. $250 for Nazeem. I'd make my money back in under a year.
Id spend millions making a human sized hamster run. Each set of tubes would lead to different things, like a pool, a TV room, a game room ext. It would cost bucket loads, look kinda ridiculous, and be incredible!

Not really a waste, but I'd spend lavishly on great teachers. The valuable knowledge a splendid teacher can give you can last your whole life.
Definitely getting buried, but fuck it; great question.
First I'd buy some acreage in the following places. Michigan, Minnesota, Wyoming, Colorado, Canada, Sweden (all in remote areas). Each piece of property would have roughly a 2,000 square foot cabin/house with the best construction materials, interior, appliances, etc.
After that's accomplished I'd buy airline miles and gift them to my close friends and family to go wherever they please. Continue to live out the rest of my days honing my woodworking skills, hunting, spending time with loved ones. Generally just sit back and chill, yet keep my mind and body sharp doing the things I love.
I'd probably get a super yacht with a helicopter that lands on the top deck... and hire a crew to keep it immaculately cleaned and well stocked... Crew members would include a top notch chef, captain/helicopter pilot/security detail/and maids/boat cleaners It would have its own boat slip garage inside the hull of the boat, and there would be another boat inside and a few jet skii's.
I would gather up the friends and we would pick somewhere to sail to...
Iโd fly all my friends to a big villa Iโd buy wall it off, and pay for all their expenses so we can all live together and have unlimited fun.

Challenger Hellcat. I want an 2009 RT but I'm poor so I can't afford it. If I had a significant amount of currency, I'd buy the best production Challenger.
I would immediately buy my parents a home closer to the hospital with a room designed by a professional to accommodate my dad's cowboys collection. (American football team)
This way he can finally see his decades of work on proper display instead of mountains of boxes in the attic, he won't have to worry now that the docs are about to take his license away, and my mom can have her dream house after 20 years of waiting.
I heard Batman makes about $100,000 a day off interest alone. I guess just buy an OP computer and dump the rest in the bank.
.
But to be crazy, ummm... a solid gold kite just to see if I could get it off the ground. Why not?
Also, while I'm on the subject of ridiculous things to make out of gold... how about a golden pickaxe just to see how accurate Minecraft is. Again, why not?
As mentioned in the comments below, tailored and custom fit clothes, maybe another Lamborghini and about 100 other cars and loads of guitars, amplifiers and effects pedals. Also, a nice penthouse in Central London and a 1/3 of Gordon Ramsays restaurant business.
Better version: If you woke up tomorrow morning with the same money as the AdVenture Capitalist, what's the most extravagantly lavish thing you'd waste some money on?
I'd buy every possible vehicle that matched the classic Generation 1 Transformers, ship them to the UK, customise them with bodywork and paintwork to match the look of the Autobots, get them insured... All that requires billionaire money I'm guessing. Then I'd hire a fleet of drivers and take them up and down to charity events and hospitals to cheer kids up. If the classic G1 doesn't work, then I'd spend another wad of cash doing the same with later versions of Transformers that kids of today prefer. Like that charity Batman guy, but with Bots.
Remember Fyre Festival? I'd pay out of pocket for this. That one documentary that was posted recently said it would have cost $50mil. I'd pay $75mil and use the marketing for the original Fyre Festival as my guideline.
The initial talent lineup would determined by /r/Music. I'd probably also take input from whatever the equivalent of that sub is on 4chan.
The base price for the ticket is $25k and includes all expenses except alcohol (although an allowance is included). The first 5,000 tickets, though, are given away in pairs for free via a fair lottery system. (Tickets require a photo of ID at the time of purchase or entry to the lottery and at the time of entry to the event. Purchased tickets may be returned for a refund. Tickets may not transferred (except in the event of the death of the ticketholder). There'd be a system in place so that tickets could be purchased as a gift for someone, but ticketmaster/livenation is out and no scalping.)
Just because of who I am and the type of irony I enjoy, I'd do my very best to ensure that all catering and gourmet food and snacks are of the highest quality, but sponsored by Lunchables, RC Cola, Natty Light, and Popov.
Lodging would be custom built luxury villas (which would be converted to a resort after the event). Of course the sponsorship would be Rodeway Inn or something equally as classy
My second lavish purchase would be the Playboy mansion. I totally want to set it up as a hotel/swinger resort.
It's not really extravagance, but I have an autistic son who loves to travel but could never tolerate commercial flying. I'd get a jet to take him places in.

I would build a full, legit, at-home chemistry/biochemistry facility. NMR, LCMS, service contracts, support staff. Everything an aspiring scientist needs. Finance my own research. Maybe start a small core.
Buy EVERYTHING in a Walmart store, have people load it into trucks for me, not stopping until every single shelf and display is empty. Then, I'd take it all to the next town over and return ALL OF IT.
I'm curious how this would affect the local communities.
Also after waiting a couple months I'd buy everything from a store again. This time I would not take everything to another store, I'd just keep it on the trucks for about a week. Once the store has had time to replenish their shelves, return it all to the same store. Now they have an issue with where to put it all. Do they end up putting stuff on sale to make room? Call other stores and have them take some of the stock? It's interesting to me.
I don't actually shop at Walmart, so idgaf how it actually affects anyone involved, I'm just curious and love chaos.
Getting my family out of debt honestly. That comes first. But assuming you meant after that, then probably a fancy new house, fully paid off of course. I'm a billionaire, I don't need a mortgage.
My friends loans, or/then a end all (For this current moment) be all computer I literally have a PcPartpicker list of a system I've listed as "You Rich Bitch" Which I admit I simply bought overpriced parts, and threw together.

I'd replace all my furniture with really sturdy and comfortable versions. Beds would promptly have ridiculously nice mattresses and bedding. The linens. My god, what linens I would buy if I could...
Dice. Lots and lots of dice. The more obscure, unusual, and unique the better. Full sets of polyhedral gaming dice from nearly every manufacturer. Sets from Shapeways made from expensive materials. Historical sets. Commissioned sets. Sets made from rare materials like meteorites or gem stones. Sizes of dice you rarely find in stores, sizes I paid people invent and create for me. Dice with symbols, dice with unusual distributions, and dice with letters. Blank dice. Dice of all colors and patterns. So many dice that I can fill a pool and bury myself in them like its a day at the beach.
Then I want to play with them. I want to be able to pick up a new die each time I need to roll one and never have to roll the same die twice unless I really like that die. When I am done rolling a die, I want to be able to smash it if it rolled unfavorably (or quietly put it in a dark storage container if it is an uncommon die I can't bare to destory.) If it rolled favorably, I'll put it in a special display so everyone knows that it was a good die.
Well I would probably buy a house I actually liked instead of renting an apartment or trying to figure out what the least I can afford to rent is. I would pay off all the debt it should be really nice. And then I would probably look to do all the adventures that I grew up hearing people talk about or saw pictures of online or whatever that I would never be able to do between both work and lack of money. And then finally once I have achieved all of my pleasure vacation so I guess I would open up a Nerf tag stop to allow people to play and only have it open when I want. And it would be stocked with every nerf gun of every kind that I could ever get my hands on
Purchase the 49ers, demolish the stadium in Santa Clara, buy land in the city, rebuild a modern candlestick park, and house the team in keezar stadium until the new place was done. And of course pay all the fines and taxes that would get slapped on me by the city, and NFL.

Gaming cove. Every console ever, all the good games, a nice computer installed, surround sound, projector, and all right next to the fully stocked bar.
Buy a huge sailing ship so I could offer"real pirate " cruises where you have to talk pirate the entire cruise, of course they would be swabing the deck the whole time , need to keep my boat clean , arrrr,matey!!
I would build a movie studio, and run it like they used to in the old days.
Nowadays, every movie is its own separate thing, even when it's produced by the studio. They hire the crew for the shoot, then fire them all at wrap. When you work on a film crew, you have to look for a new job every few months. It's a hard life.
Instead, I'd want my crew to be employees like any other job. If we finish a movie on Tuesday, you'll start shooting the next movie on Wednesday. Or, maybe get a week off, since shooting days are long.
I'd also reduce the standard shooting day from 12 hours to 10. There is no good reason to shoot for 12 hours straight. Plus, because of overtime laws, it'd work out cheaper. You'd get just as much shooting done in 25 10-hour days as 20 12-hour days, but due to overtime laws, you'll pay slightly less. The crew won't mind, because, unlike most shows, they'll have a steady paycheck!
I also wouldn't waste money on development executives, who are entirely superfluous. I'd hire a dozen writers, put 'em in a room, and tell 'em to write whatever they want. Like the way a TV show works, only there's no overarching story. (Again, this is more-or-less how old-timey studios wrote scripts.)
I think the reason most TV shows are better than most movies now is the way that they're run. I'll spend half a movie shoot just learning everyone's names. But a TV show really becomes a second family after a few seasons.
I would buy six full sized gold ingots. Like ones you see in movies (usually in Fort Knox). I'd stare at them, pick them up, make a small pyramid out of them, and listen to the unique klank sound gold makes. Really, I'd just play with my expensive building blocks.
I would travel the world sleeping in the most luxurious houses/hotels/apartments.
Best cruise ships. Rent expensive cars and buy the most expensive tours and experiences. VIP clubs, private beaches. Etc

Send my neighborhood to college, wait until they get a degree, then hire them and give them health insurance.
I would buy a house & gut it. I would have it built back to my design with a nice big kitchen with a mud room/laundry room and a good sized living room with built in book shelves & fireplace, a couple of guest rooms, guest full bath & the master suite with a walk in closet & a bathroom to die for...separate shower with a bench, large soaking tub with jets, good sized vanity & mirror, water closet...the works. There would an updated HVAC system & a new roof...everything would be perfect & exactly what I wanted.
I'd buy a bit of land, put in a septic, water, and electricity. Then custom build a tiny house for me and my cats, and get the fuck out of dodge. Start a new life rescuing/rehabilitating animals on my land.
I would buy classic car from every year and every make starting from 1925 and going until 1987.

Not going to work. i guess that isn't spending money, but not making any money is the most extravagant thing I can think of right now. My entire being is tied up in providing for my family.
I'd buy out every house on my block and on the 2 blocks between mine and the freeway. I'd demolish all the houses and have the streets dug up and make it a huge garden square with fruit trees of all kinds.
In one corner would be a beer garden. Work out a contract with the city. They can hold events but must also make events for kids and such.
No admission fees.
Fruits free for anyone who wants it. I'd have people pick and box fruit to be given away and such.
Gove it a simple name like harvest square or something. No name plaques or statues. Maybe some art pieces and such.
Right outside my work window is a property owned by the Union Gospel Mission. For 6 years they've been trying to rebuild their mission on this property. I'd fund it. It would cost something like $10M.
A really nice desk and chair, because I spend most of my time before my computer, so I'm going to be comfortable. Then I'd build my perfect computer. Ground up, all the best that I could want from the graphics card to the cooling system. Money is no object at this point, so I'm going to spare no expense on the machine I'll occasionally play Total Warhammer on while mostly using it for YouTube, Overwatch and rimworld.

I'd choose a major city with not-crazy-expensive real estate prices and find an area where I can buy every single business and eventually housing within it. Like hopefully at least between 5x5 and 10x10 city blocks. I'd have all the businesses operate as normal to start. Then I'd slowly move onto the point where everything that needs renovation gets done, every store/business has my name involved in some aspect, and eventually I will have my own city within a city.

My Master's Degree. My idea of a perfect world is getting to go back to school and study English Literature to my heart's content, without racking up thousands in debt. I don't want to study something that I'd have to turn into a career; just knowledge for the sake of knowledge.
I'd take dancing lessons too, and gourmet cooking and language classes. All the stuff I want to know just because it's awesome to have those skills.
I just want to study.
A smart-home with a video screen for a wall, integrated playstation/xbox/nintendo/PC, the fastest internet connection money can buy, a self-driving car, and a big tract of land 20 miles from civilization and a personal staff with small houses of their own on the land.
I would buy a monster of a PC, I'm talking like something that will literally run anything I want, while running everything else I want. All of the best parts on the market, huge ass water cooling system. It'd be pretty too. Nice case with LEDs I can program. I'd buy some like $3000 headphones and mouse and stuff too.
You know those absurdly nice Power Ranger toys they sell at Toys R Us? The weapons, accessories, and megazords that have die-cast (and, in one notable case, gold) bits?
Every single one made to date would be mine by day's end, with preorders placed on the forthcoming releases. I'm a man of simple pleasures.
Probably a house. Nothing too big or fancy, but nice and maybe newer or at least updated. Work on moving my partner and I in over a couple months, quit my shitty job, maybe buy a new Toyota, and continue to attend school without any worries for a while. Man... If only.
The now-former CEO of my hospital retired. They renamed the auditorium in his honor. I would donate enough money to get the name changed to mine. Just to be a petty bitch.
Honestly? A yacht. I know it's a money sink, but I've been playing this game recently where I check out yachts on sale and imagine what it's like to own one.
And I'd buy my dream French horn (expensive yo), and a cottage in both the Scottish Highlands and Switzerland.

I'd buy enough qiviut yarn to make an adult sweater. And then duplicate it for every knitting friend I have. Each sweater would probably be $800-$1000. I'd also probably go apeshit on firemountain gems and buy all the things. And spend the next 6 months of my life on an epic crafting spree.

I'd hire a bunch of session musicians to take turns following me and playing appropriate walking-around music to accompany me. Bassist plays Another One Bites the Dust, Sax guy plays Careless Whisper, Violinist plays the Scheherazade overture, etc.
I would tell no one then do randomly outlandish things only a billionaire could do when out with friends. Also I would fund a private research lab for my dad. He wanted to do research for a living but decided not to and went into IT back in the 90s to provide our family with an upper middle class lifestyle. I think he would be happy with that.
A room dedicated to my dog (probably dogs after I get the big bucks). This place will have a mini pool and places to climb, hide, and jump on. Ideally it will open up to the outside where she can roll in the grass, dig, and poop where ever she wants!
A functional replica of Squall's gunblade from ff8. Otherwise, I'm good with affording health insurance and groceries while still making rent and maintaining reliable transportation... Man it feels good to dream.
One thats relatively cheap, easy to maintain and reliable. Like a Honda Accord or some shit. Use it for day to day things like groceries and long trips.
One thats a really nice old school car like a 67 GTO or 76 Mustang. Use it just to drive around and show off.
And a pricey luxury car like a Rolls Royce. Use it for big events and looking fancy as fuck.
But id probbly still be cheap as fuck in my regular life. Just give out a bunch of money to charities or people i know who need it.
I would run the main board with an i7-8700k and the secondary board on a Thread-Ripper 1950X, both boards would get at least 128 GB of RAM and Triple-SLI GTX Titan XP gen2's, and the systems would both get a collection of 4 TB SSD's for storage.
A house that has at least 3 bedrooms and 2 and half baths with a gorgeous kitchen, living room and outside space. Preferrably with a fridge filled to the brim with delicious foods
Probably a really nice house. I don't think I would go overboard on it since I do need to have the ability to pay for it the rest of my life and hopefully my kids. So, a new house and then a good investment portfolio.
I would buy some luxury essentials like a personal chef and cleaning staff, but most of my money would be donated to the Mosaic program at my university and I would also donate money to the Chattanooga Autism Center. I would not be where I am today without those programs, and I feel like I would owe them at least a little bit of my money.

Nothing. I would invest it. But if I really had to spend some of it, I would hire someone to do my chores for me (shopping, cooking, dishes, laundry, etc). I may also hire a driver. In other words, I wouldn't buy toys. I would buy free time and convenience.
The biggest piece of land in northern/central Ontario and Quebec I could buy with enough left over to live modestly and build a small self sufficient cabin.
I would buy my husband the car of his dreams. He has paid for all of our expenses while I am doing my undergraduate studies and, although we are not wealthy, he never denied me anything that I needed to make my dreams come true.
Just because I'd have money enough for hookers and blow.

A concierge. I'm not gonna ping-pong across town in the first day grabbing my new lamborghini or some egyptian linen sheets. Having a concierge just means I can tell other people to buy my fancy stuff for me, so I guess that's lavish enough.
I'd buy a large farm somewhere way off the beaten path, and religiously buy up every adjoining piece of property that came up for sale. The end goal would be owning a few thousand acres of land at bare minimum. Enough land I could play with cattle, heavy equipment, and guns without people complaining about the noise or getting nosy.
I'd get a big piece of land, start my own sustainable homestead/commune thing. But, I'd make it look like one big giant cross between a Japanese and elvish garden, complete with a swimming hole/pond. I'd also have my own music/art studio. I'd run a wildlife sanctuary and a underground party place too.
Each of my siblings would get $100,000. They live in an area with a low cost of living so if they were smart that could make a difference for them forever. I would get a therapist to help me figure out what type of deal the rest of the family should get since they're irresponsible.
I would assemble a staff - an assistant who would entertain my cat during the day and take care of the mail, someone to cook, and someone to clean. They would all get good pay and benefits.
I would buy a three-bedroom apartment in the neighborhood I want to live in.
I would go clothes shopping and buy everything that looks nice no matter what.

Just a house. With a back yard for my daughter. She really deserves that. Not even a huge house. Just a nice middle class home in my momโs neighborhood, pay it off and buy a really great bbq for the yard.
I donโt want or need of lavish things. Donโt even know what Iโd do with them.
Id keep working but Iโd do my services for free for people in need.
It's not lavish, nor a waste, but everyone of my friend's children would have college/ tech school/business startup funds.
Maybe a restaurant for my 2 of my friends to run. Free meals. No a Food Truck.
Then a Log Cabin.

I'd pay my favorite band to reunite and play a show. Not just for me, I mean I'd let other people attend but I'd section off my own space in the front so I could actually enjoy it.
I saw somebody driving a white Lambourghini the other day and thought that was kind of cool. I don't like cars, but I'd probably buy a Lambourghini just to check it out.
I'd build myself a house in the middle of nowhere on a shit ton of land, have it decked out with a gigantic library, secret passages, a greenhouse, fireplaces, and an observatory. Then I would live the rest of my life as a wizard.
I always joked with my fiance that if I ever had that kind of money I'd want the watch setup that Dr.Strange has in the movie.
I guess the second thing would be space to have such a setup...

Depending upon how many billions I had, I'd try to make an American "palace of Versailles". Not one of those shitty copies that tries to mimic styles, but a new giant palace that would have thousands if not tens of thousands of artists working full time for a decade or two with unique style and architecture instead of cheap imitations of ancient European stuff. Even if I were the richest person in the world I couldn't afford it solo but I could make it happen.
I would get in contact with NCsoft offer them a shit ton of money for the City Of Heroes license and all it's servers, characters, ect. COH was the first MMO I ever played and I was devastated when they brought down the servers.

Buy a mall and convert to game heaven: paintball, air soft, laser tag, arcade games, pool tables, go karts, mini golf, VR, PCs, consoles, ropes courses, rock climbing walls...
Edit: why itโs over the top? Because it would be a mall that already makes money and Iโd kick all the stores out.

I would take my SO and our immediate family on an amazing trip all over the world... first class... spending the most times in the places we like most.
I'd hire a few dozen people to wear clown suits and hold briefcases and stand at bus stops along the route to the business district. As the bus moves closer and closer to the business district, it just starts gradually filling up with clowns. I'd then have them exit the bus and enter the largest downtown banking center and stand in line to cash the checks I gave them.

I'm getting a couple more dogs, and they're going to have the MOST baller backyard. There's going to be a place to just dig stuff up, a pool, stuff to climb, trees for shade, squirrels to chase, treats and food everywhere, someone always there to throw tennis balls. I'm putting in the best dog spa. I'm going to have a collection of completely spoiled schnauzers.
I would start my own founded research on how to keep sociopaths from leading possessions in the workplaces, politics and society in general and so on. then use shit loads whit money promoting the most efficient method the researched showed + lobbying it in to action fast.
We have a fucking problem on our hands that are not taken care off and we ALL suffer from the carelessness of these people that can function well at some occupations but absolutely NOT should have the control of our salary, legal rights, laws in general and politicians ect.

I would hire a personal assassination team then systematically take out all the top officials of U.S.A thus sending the public into a frenzy. Next I would secretly team up with China and Russia with the agreement of me leading the new america under a monarchy.
As soon as I get into power I would instantly turn are nukes around to china and russia and start reforging ties with are allies thus ending the war.
The new America priorities would be education, health care and military with a reduced budget. I would also spin off certain portions of america into its own countries.
Long live the king of The United Realms Of America.
Cheap, affordable homes in good neighborhoods for my father, brother, and a few friends who are trying to raise families. Not like mansions, but decent sized houses, three to four bedrooms, at least two bath, possible dining room, in a good neighborhood where the property tax would be cheap. Iโd probably buy my father and brother new cars, nothing brand new, but something with low miles. I mean, Iโd be a billionaire, I could afford to help people whoโve been there for me when I was in hard times and my family.
A house. It wouldn't even be stupid big or anything, cause cleaning big houses is tedious and I prefer things that are easy to manage, but I'd definitely have a crafting room with lots of desk space, and a gaming room, and a kitchen big enough for me to bake and decorate things in, with one of those big cool islands in the middle. Yeah. Oh and a gym room. YESSS. AND A BATHTUB! bathtubs are so rare in my country.

But top of the line equipment for all my hobbies. Then invest the money and make it so the dividends and profits are donated to charity projects I like.
Spend a lot of money to buy up an entire block in a suburb somewhere (preferably not in the middle of nowhere but not incredibly expensive), demolish all the houses and build one right in the middle.
I'm not sure if this counts as a single thing, but I have a plan for if I ever become nauseatingly wealthy that I'm going to share anyways. Of course I'd give some money to charity, but that's boring.
I'd have an estate built and customized for me. It'd be somewhere on the ocean, maybe a private island, maybe not. But I'd have a private marina connected to the house with a big yacht, a sailboat, and a small fishing boat for fresh seafood. The house itself would be probably 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 3-5 half baths, depending on the square footage. There would of course be detached guest houses for people who come to stay with me.
I'd have the best kitchen money could buy and a cooking staff, though I'd still cook for myself sometimes. I'm thinking just outside the kitchen I'd have a half acre or so where I grow my own vegetables (and a gardener to tend them). Other notable features would be a personal movie theater with a huge movie library, an actual library with tons of comfy chairs, a recording studio, and a huge model train room. I love model trains, so I'd have a ton of them with fully fleshed out environments, terrain, towns, etc.
But the real centerpiece of this thing is the garage. The garage is its own air conditioned building connected to the house. I think it's at least 5-6 stories high with an elevator to move the cars. Bottom floor is workshop, where I have a team of mechanics maintaining all of my cars and keeping them in good condition. One floor would just be Ferraris, organized chronologically. One floor would be old race cars that I've purchased. And the other floors would be a mix of all the cars that I love. This would be separate from the garage attached to the house where I keep 4-5 daily drivers. One path away from my garage would lead to my driveway, he other path would lead to an inch perfect recreation of Spa Francorchamps. Everything from the track width, to the elevation change would be duplicated. Of course, it could never be exactly the same, but I'll settle for close enough. The property would also be large enough for a twisty road starting near the beach and going through the hills that would make a nice change from track driving. It'd lead into the mountains behind the estate from where you can see the entire property and get great ocean views. This would be my own personal heaven.

Iโd bail my best friends out of work and take us all on a long trip around the world. First class all the way.
I hate having neighbors. So I would buy all of the condos around mine top floor and bottom floor. Which means id have to buy 7 condos and then i would brake down the walls on the entire top floor making it a master condo and then add stairs leading to the lower floor and do the same thing down there I would connect all of the balconies into a wrap around and do the same thing with the patios below and turn my 1200sqft condo into a 8300 square foot condo.

Fully deck out a Tesla model S for my mom, sister, best friend, and myself. Get myself a big fancy house on the beach I live close to, then use the rest to pay for bills from the big fancy house.
I would build a huge studio and buy really high quality art supplies that I couldn't otherwise justify throwing away my life savings for, things like really quality oil paints, printing supplies, machinery for building sculpture or furniture, and of course some gold leaf (for a touch of billionaire excess). I could use my retirement (since I'm a billionaire now, you know...) to build a crazy collection of artwork, whatever comes to my mind I could buy any tool or material needed to make it happen and have all the time in the world to improve my skills.
After I buy a nice new house Iโd remodel it with endless places for my dog to play, lounge around, and just be comfortable. Anything he could ever want, heโd have it.

I would build a modern day castle with secret rooms and tunnels and trap doors. U nderneath this castle I would build dungeons and bunkers and an underground maze.
I saw an article once about a guy who converted buses into mobile homeless shelters. Iโd do that, provide safety and a clean place for the people of my city. Boring, and no fun but definitely feels like a way to use the money properly.
I would do so many things.
1) Be boring and pay off current debt
2) Be awesome and buy large amount of land and re-forest/prairie/whatever
3) Quit job + travel for months
4) Build ideal house with dog park
After the usual "tuition, bills, etc" I would say... all of the shoes I've been wanting at work. Plus the ridiculous boots I've been eyeing at Free Bird, plus some Coach purses that I also have been eyeing but can't afford... then... a car. Expensive car, all the bells and whistles. Then maybe a piece of land where I can one day open my vet clinic/animal shelter/sanctuary.

buy a private island, build the most hurricane-proof compound that an engineer can design, hire experts to make it self-sufficient in terms of farming/livestock, and pay a full-time staff for upkeep.
and then just spend some time in my video game room without being bothered by anyone.
First thing Iโd do is get a list of all my friends and family that Iโm close to. Iโd have individual bank accounts made for each person including their kids and put enough money in there to change their life. The kids would have enough for college, my friends would have their student loans and houses paid off and my family as well. If I was a billionaire Iโd want to positively impact as many lives as possible.
I'd probably spend some on buying a more energy efficient lifestyle, donate some to charity, then spend the rest on Starbucks frappucinos and an unnecessarily large quantity of copies of The World Ends with You
I'd buy a huge warehouse in the City of my choice and transform it into a huge open space loft, elevator going straight into the home and a huge ass garage underneath with a work shop for cars, wood working, anything.
I'd buy a house and full time caretakers for my brother who is schizophrenic.
I'd buy a huge heated/cooled warehouse for my dad who is the ultimate gearhead/Craftsman/woodwoker etc.
For me, a middle sized house with a BIG garage, nice sized backyard and a legit movie theater. Ive always wanted a super comfy movie theater who stupid good sound and a real popcorn machine. Oh, and an industrial kitchen and a bathroom with all those crazy shower heads.
Honestly money isn't happiness but if It came down to it, I'd buy the most expensive food, but isn't food happiness? So are you buying happiness or is money happiness because with out you'd have no happiness which is food.
Cars. I would try and get a lancia delta s4 OR a 037 stradale, and then I would shop around for a supercar (most likely a mclauren p1 or koeniggseg agera, but Id have to shop around)
I would buy the top of the line stackable pvc terrariums with sliding glass doors... a huge stock of them... and them buy a bunch of reptiles that I've always wanted and convert my unused back bedroom into an extremely nice reptile room.
Probably one of those back surgery things that's supposed to, like, completely fix vertebral subluxations and shit like that. Not for me, but for my mother! :(
also an oculus rift and a ps4 JUST to play the fucking stranger things vr

Not too far away in my town there is some sort of fenced in compound taking up a couple of blocks...

A grilled cheese sandwich, I'm a simple guy. O and a mountain of cocaine, still a simple guy.
Problem I have is that I don't really want anything anyone else would consider extravagantly lavish.
Perhaps I would start a school of fencing where I live. Make a huge place where students could come and live and study the art with a maestro. Have modern sport electric, dry, rapier. Even have classes in fighting with sword & shield (not in the SCA tradition, so much, their weapons suck).
And someone to come clean the house. I hate doing it and my wife is not bothered by a slight mess. about the place.
Have my kids go through college without mortgaging their future or putting a second mortgage on the house.
It amuses me that with over 1600 dollar billionaires in the world, there's a good chance that several of them have read this thread and chuckled to themselves. Or perhaps even responded.

Beyond paying off my debts from an ill advised jaunt to college when I was younger?
Pick up something like 10-15 acres in a rural area, and put a container house on it. Have all the shit Iโd need to stay relatively self sufficient without having to rely on farming/hunting for every meal (power, water, internet, etc) so that if I want to just stay by myself for a week or two, I can. Trim up a half or full acre (basically give the area around the house a neat and tidy look), and leave the rest wild. Put up a small shooting range on it, and Iโm pretty much in my idea of heaven. Punch holes in paper in the morning, walk around a bit in the afternoon, and blow shit up online in the evening. All without seeing another soul all day should I choose.

4. build all the lego sets and have a second, smaller house built to keep them all in

I wouldnโt get out of bed. Iโd quit my job, pay someone to immediately come over to take care of my kids, someone to come clean my house, someone to cook. Then I would fall into the first truly peaceful sleep I could remember.
Going to the Ren Faire? Come by my closet first, I'll make a knight or a princess out of you. Going to your DnD game? Come get an appropriate rogue cloak first. Halloween? We're going as the entire cast of the Wizard of Oz, dibs on the Witch. Costume party? I need a Spock to go with my Kirk, come get your ears and tricorder on.
Probably travel. I have a lot of very good friends right now, but chances are we'll split ways after college, at least somewhat. As a billionaire I'd have the time and money to not only not work, but also continue to see the people I enjoy having in my life.
There are also three dream role coaster road trips I have dreamed up that I'd love to take all of them on.

Late to the party, but screw it. I would get a small-ish bronze replica of the Sphinx made, only with my face, abut the size of a pickup. And drop that thing right in my parking spot at work before I quit. What are they gonna do with a couple tons of bronze? You donโt just get the night crew to move that thing.

I'd go all out on a apocoliptic bunker. Pick the perfect location where too many people aren't located so I can be isolated from the chaos. Trick it out like a man cave ( in my case a woman cave). But also have a huge seed bank.
A giant greenhouse behind my mansion filled with tropical plants and a full sized pool (ozone, not chlorine), hot tub, and movie screen. Like, we're talking palm trees in my canadian greenhouse. I'd be sitting on one of those floaty chairs, watching some quality film, basking in lights and warmth while it's -30 out.
I'd buy up an old Victorian house and completely Goth it out. I'm not even really goth but the aesthetic has always felt the most homey and comforting for me.

There's this house near where I live that is basically a castle. The house where the people employed there stay is a lot bigger than the house I live in. (My house is a 2 story house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.)
Pay the cast of Critical Role (yes pay) to take a couple weeks of vacation with myself and my closest friends. Along the way I might try to entice the cast of Scrubs to come along as well. Oh also the voice cast of Dragon Ball Z.
I'm thinking we could go to Italy and take a couple of gondolas through Venice. Then ski in the Alps, a couple of countries over.
Also I'd like to hire someone to document it with film and pay Kevin Conroy a handsome sum to narrate it.

I would build a house from the ground up with a top of the line pottery studio, top notch kitchen and all the works on a lake but also with lots of land.
I'd give a shitload of money to a museum, zoo, aquarium, library, whatever that is willing to give me naming rights to everything. Even if a room or gallery is already named for another donor, I'm sure there's an amount of money the organization would be willing to break their existing contract over.
Agreements like that are legally binding, so I bet they'd have to pay back the original donor's gift plus more. I don't even care about my name on anything, I'd do it anonymously. I just want to stick it to those big wealthy families who think they should get special treatment because their names are on walls all over the place. Fuck Rockefeller Center, now it's Anonymous Center. Wrigley Field? Anonymous Field!
Iโd hire escorts to bang a few incels and see if theyโre still so miserable with the world after theyโve gotten their dick wet. Iโm gonna guess they will be but I still think it something that should be done in the name of science.

a nice penthouse, stupid good wifi, but most importantly a PC so fast it could calculate the number of atoms in every star in the milky way in half a second
I'm a simple man. I'd get my dream car built. One of these with all the necessary modifications done to swap in the coyote engine, not sure what transmission I want yet. The rest would be spent on food, gas, and a house.
After buying a home, I would build a nice outdoor kennel for my dog. There would be a dog door in it, to the house for when she wants to come in. I would get a nice rabbit hutch and rabbit run in the backyard for my rabbit. I'd fence the back yard in, and have a heated pool and tree house for my kids.

Tomorrow, probably not much. I'd probably spend the day dividing $1 Billion by say 65 years (remaining lifestyle with an optimistic look), just over $15 million. Then I'd divide that by 52 to get my budget per week, WTF just under $300,000K.
Alright so doing this really puts billion into perspective. A million would let me live $300/week for life and a billion is $300K? Ridiculous. I guess there is no need to budget with a Bil since I'd have more than I could spend even if I tried. I probably still wouldn't spend much day 1, I'd start making plans to move out of my parents basement and into a nice place of my own though. I guess I'd invite some friends to eat and ofc I'd pay and we'd buy like $1000 worth of expensive good food.
Prooobably some games. Then a new computer! I'd pay of my debts, too. I'd save a lot, I'd clean my house and buy new furniture! Perhaps I'd take car lessons again, because I haven't driven in almost 3 years and I'd like to own a car. Then I would buy a car!
Probably would pay off my student loans and then use the rest of the money to buy burger king, which would be the only amount of money I would have left.
designer fashion for sure. id buy a vintage car for myself too. id also spend money on an at home music recording studio and tons of guitars and other instruments.
I would use the first 10k for equipment,software,and misc thijgs.
give small bits now n then to charities,and preserve the rest for bills and such since id not be that wasteful.
I'd buy one of those fancy, uber comfortable private jets and travel around the world. Live in a place as many days as I like. Travel to towns, cities, near mountains etc just because I felt like it.

I would like a 3D gaming headset, whichever kind is really good, and all the stupid or cool games on the market.
I am a pretty bad or at best mediocre gamer, and only play casually on a old console. I can't afford the better games and hardware, and I would barely be able to play them even if I could.

Option A: Create a giant nonprofit to support human decency. Police brutality case where charges arenโt filed? Politicians create a stupid or borderline illegal law? Sue them with an army of lawyers. Politician says something offensive or stupid? Campaign donation to their opponent, regardless of party. Kid does something nice for follow students? College tuition paid for.
Option B: Buy a soccer team. Not a big one, maybe like a third division English team. Pour a ton on money into the youth academy. Get the best scouts available to recruit talent. Create a huge science and statistics department to be on the cutting edge of innovation. Build a beautiful stadium for them to call home. Slowly increase the transfer budget. Lay the foundation for a dynasty.
I remember when the lotto was huge a few weeks ago and my girlfriend asked me this question.
I told her Iโd go out and get some good quality, expensive linen pants and loose fitting cotton/gauze shirts. Like tropical vacation wear that rich playboys wear. Thatโs what I want right away.
Hmm. A contract to annually get the new GTR Nismo cars. Iโd actually ask them if they can build the original R34 and R35 from scratch and the first GTR (2007) up till the new 2018 GTR. And insurance...
I would buy a nice house and a nice car.
House would have many floors and an elevator so that my BF could easily navigate and I don't have to be stuck in a house with 1 floor
I would legit buy the appartment I'm in right now, and give it to the homeless person that has been sitting on the street right in front of the building since I moved here.
Then I would book a whole spa station for myself and relax before commiting suicide because of loneliness.
If we're talking dumb I'd buy a giant hellahome helicopter house. A big ass helicopter that is a fully functional house. If we're talking like I'd 100% buy Without a doubt it would like 100 acres of land in Tennessee!!!
Hmmm an entertainment venue probably, complete with areas for cat coffee bar and also a karaoke building (think in Asia with the littke karaoke party room stuff).
After that, be the responsible adult, take care of bills, set up a nice college fun for my kid and pay off my mom's bills.

I wouldn't waste the money. I'd either invest most of it in order to make money that I'd donate to charity, or I'd donate most of it to charity to begin with. I'd keep a few million for myself, for financial security, but it's my goal in life to help the less privileged with what I have.

I'd make vehicles that would drive me where I want to go, build me a spaceship so I could go to space, and for a hobby when I was bored, I'd bore tunnels under Los Angeles. Maybe build a giant trans-continental bank drive-thru tube someday too.

A dog zoo and employees. I want two of every dog breed, I want them all taken care of really well, and I don't want to do any of the work. Also it could make me money because puppies never go out of style and I'd just keep the ones that don't sell. Throw in a pair of lions too, rare ones. Albino
Get a mansion for me and all my homies, then ensure it has its own private movie theater. Also a special room for all the doggos. Universe please hear me...

I have had dishwashers in my houses for my entire life and "doing dishes" has still always been a chore. Dishwashers don't magically load and unload themselves, they don't scrape off anything that's been dried on a dish like oatmeal (especially if it only cost $400), they might not even fully clear off some oil-based substances like butter, and there's still a ton of things that are not dishwasher safe. I have to hand-clean most of my post and pans as well as some stemware and my super-insulated thermoses.
Having a dishwasher just takes about half the work out of the chore, that's all.

A dishwasher doesn't really stop you having to do the dishes. You still need to get all the food off the dishes, clean the sink, load the dishwasher, then unload it after it runs. It's really more of a "sanitizer" than a dish washer, unless you're talking about a commercial unit which won't work in your house

I live in an area that has dozens of private chefs on call. Each one specializes in a different type of food: Italian, BBQ, etc. Instead of hiring a private chef full time to cook for you whenever you want, you just rent chefs whenever your hungry.

You could technically do this yourself every night. I eat like a king at a fraction of the cost and the expense of some energy. I don't have a TV subscription though so the extra time makes it kind of work out for me.
edit: as far as the toddler thing, would it be considered abuse to not force them to eat healthier options but not cooking them anything else, and saving the healthier food for when they get hungry?

I always thought this too. Also a dietician that ensures the chef is giving me calories I need and a personal trainer. I'd probably also buy a farm and hire people to run it so the chef has the most fresh, organic, homegrown ingredients available. I'd love daily bed clothes changes too, like a hotel, and the linen used would be the highest quality possible
I'd also build a home theatre room with the perfect dimensions to have a floor to ceiling/wall to wall screen, like an IMAX screen at home, and pay whatever fees are required to screen the latest movie releases so I'd never have to endure the annoyance other people cause at the cinema again

How much money can a restaurant really lose in a year? 100k if it's wildly unsuccessful? That's 10 million in your lifetime, barely a drop in the bucket for a billionaire.

I think you vastly underestimate restaurant costs. Margins are very very slim, if you vary more than 2% on inventory for example, you're most likely losing money.

I think what they are getting at is that even if the restaurant loses extravagantly, it's not anything someone with a billion dollars couldn't cut out before being anything more than a drop in the bucket. A five star restaurant might be different, but not excessively different.

Quite a bit actually. Initial investment in kitchen equipment alone will be north of 100K. 12-20 employees and your payroll is already north of 1 million a year. Rent, utilities, food and booze you're looking at 2.5 mil total for a good sized restaurant.

So...
2.5mm/year x
((75 avg lifespan -
29yrs old as a rough avg user base) years operating) so 46 potential years operating
2.5mm x 46 = 115mm over your life to run the restaurant.
A tenth of that billion to run the business AT loss. Worth.

That is assuming you make zero money at all with the restaurant. Considering, I'd also be hiring some of the best chefs in the world with that kind of investment. Known for the freshest ingredients. I'm fairly certain we can even out the loss to profit ratios here.

A hotel restaurant will usually do fine even when managed poorly. It's part of the hotel. People are still going to eat there. And if you're hiring the best chef money can buy, they'd know how to run the kitchen properly. You can just hire someone else to manage the restaurant itself.

I'd want a chef and a nutritionist to make me the healthiest delicious meals possible. Outside of that probably a large multi-million dollar estate somewhere. If you have a billion, all this would be a drop in the bucket and you'd have a solid pampered life while still earning a good amount on safe investments.

This. To pay someone else to make sure my food was as good as it could possibly be. Once I started looking in to eating better, I could not believe how shitty most of our food is. The farmer's market is one of my favorite places in the world. Then when I go to a supermarket to get tomatoes, they're tasteless! I realize not everything can always be in season, but if it didn't take an irresponsible amount of energy to do it, I would gladly throw cash at my own personal farm with hothouses to grow winter tomatoes. :)

Set up a grow room in your house for growing tomatoes, but use LED lights instead of the metal halides for energy efficiency.
On a side note - A friend of mine actually wants to grow a tomato plant inside this winter, when we went to the store to get a lamp, you could tell 100% they sell equipment for primarily growing "tomatoes" - "most resin!" "High terpenols!" The posters claim, and the whole place looks like a stoners paradise.

Mainly because of the Naturalistic Fallacy. Also, imagine you run a huge farming business. You face stiff competition from several other huge farm companies, and thousands of smaller farmers. The produce you grow is considered a commodity, ie. a yukon gold potato grown on one of your farms is considered to be the same as one grown on another farm. Further, much more of your product is produced every year than there is a real demand for, keeping prices and profits relatively low. How do you innovate and raise profits without investing millions into R&D? You invent luxury produce. That's what organic goods really are - luxury versions of commodities.

I think pesticides is a concern that organic produce addresses. Both conventional and organic use pesticides but the organic stuff uses organic pesticides which aren't as effective as harsh chemicals. Chemicals I suspect come with side effects, although I'm not certain.
Ultimately I trust a local farmer "doing it natural" a lot more than produce soaked in chemicals and preservatives so it can withstand being shipped thousands of miles.
It's more than just PR imo. Compare Walmart tomatoes to local farmers market tomatoes for your self and decide.

Organic farming started as a reaction to excessive and mostly unregulated use of untested chemical fertilizers and pesticides of which many have been found to be unhealthy. However, now that there is additional regulation and the "Organic" label has been co-opted by the industry, it has lost much of its meaning.

It appears to be a major contributing factor, especially neonicotinoids. Even if they were only moderate contributors, with all the other stresses, adding these creates a very dangerous prospect for global good chain collapse. I'm simply pointing out that the industrial segment of our society is notorious for putting dangerous agents out into our environment without considering the potential downsides, and even actively hiding them. It's why we have so many laws designed to reign them in. This was the motivation for the organic movement. People saw the dangers of unregulated industrialization of our society and attempted to thwart them. I think that complete elimination of all chemical processes is unreasonable and unwise. However, there still seems to be a culture of "it ain't dangerous until you prove it is beyond a reasonable doubt." This seems really short-sighted to me, especially with our history of overuse and disregard for the delicate balances in our natural environment.

Basically pay for private lessons with Jamie Oliver, Gordon Ramsey, Sean brock, Marcus Samuelsson, etc

If you're going after the best money can buy, you're not paying for what they're worth to you, you have to pay the highest that they can otherwise be earning.
In the case of celebrity chefs like Ramsey, their contracted rate is easily $50-100k per week to shoot shows, to private service, etc. You have to match that.
Totallynotatheif ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 00:18:00 on November 11, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I see what you're saying but imo, they're not the best chefs, they're just well publicized and well paid for all their publicity, book deals, etc. You could probably hire someone like Massimo bottura or Shinya Fukumoto for less.

What I couldn't understand is why he wouldn't just take $200,000 of that and pay for a live in chef for a year to make him the most amazing vegan food he could ever eat and win the bet. Still up $800,000.

Most billionaires don't hire full-time live-in chefs as that's logistically problematic for the chef. You would have to hire a couple to do shifts for just convenience sake. You would instead partner with a high end hotel chain who would take care of all the pedestrian details. Most of the time you would just be hopping from leased out floor of one high end hotel to another anyway, since you have evolved past localized considerations even if you have private residence they are mostly just soulless high end single residence hotels that you own, essentially.

find the little mom and pop in some strip mall or some other tiny space somewhere. every town has an old german couple or from some other country that's good at fixing shoes and tailoring. i think we have a czech and a german one just blocks from each other.
I wouldn't bother with the dry cleaners unless they have a tailor on staff and you really like them. Most dry cleaners just send off their tailor work to the old german lady that i describe below. Cut out the middleman.
the one i use is a shoe repair with a little tailor neon sign in one corner of the window. a very rough german lady helped me. i got all my pants altered for $4 each i think. obviously it'll be more for a jacket or something more complicated. plus you can get your shoes fixed while you're there.

Be wary tho. Sometimes the shoe repairer does a shoddy job and effectively ruins your shoes. If youโve paid hundreds of dollars for good hand made shoes you can send them back to the manufacturer. They will do a superior job and refinish the leather for a fraction of the price of new the shoes look like new (but maintain patina) but feel like the beautiful old pair you sent. Well worth it.

They arenโt all that expensive when you work it out. Iโve just bought a pair of loakes shoemakers for ยฃ130 seconds (for a minor mark). I expect them to last 2/3 years with alternate day wearing before being resoled and refinished for around ยฃ60. Youโd be hard pushed for anything to last 4-6 years for less that ยฃ200. I think itโs an investment.
Ps. Theyโre comfortable enough to wear all day out the box. But get fitted for them first then look for seconds.

Be somewhat careful with Loake. They make some very good shoes, but their cheaper lines are not up to par. The Loake 1880 line is, generally, what I'd recommend. The wiki over at /r/goodyearwelt has some great info on where to start with high-quality footwear. You definitely don't have to go for Saint Crispins to have really well made shoes.

I can attest to that. Make sure the cobbler you find actually knows what he's doing. A shoddy $20 fix can make $100-$300 shoes worthless.

Samuel Vines law of Boots.
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.
Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.โ

They can repair and resole your favorite pair of shoes or boots that fit you perfectly, adding many years of enjoyment, for significantly less than the cost of a new pair of good shoes. They also can fix leather goods like wallets, belts, watch bands, purses, gloves, cushions for leather sofas, etc. A shoe repair place fixed the cushion for our couch when our big german shepherd jumped on it and kicked a hole in it. Replacing a nice leather couch costs $$$$s, getting the cushion repaired was like $15 bucks. He did such a good job you can't even see the "scar"
watamacha ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 16:11:28 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
many leather shoes can have the sole replaced, since itll wear through faster than the upper given proper care. Cobblers can also stretch shoes out to a slightly larger size and repair defects and damage to many parts of the shoe. In many cases with "expensive" footwear (i.e. 200ish bucks or more) these repairs can be substantially cheaper than new shoes.

$100 pair of dress shoes can be re-healed for $15 or shined really well for $5, they'll look brand new for months. Nice leather flip-flops can be re-padded.
They also do most general leather work, such as bringing in a leather jacket.

Cobblers were more prevalent when most shoes were made of leather, wood and nails (pre-WWII). Buying shoes like THAT today would cost at least $200. With leather that can last decades, these are the kind of shoes which ought to and can be repaired on a timely basis.

For example- I work in construction management. I spend 300+ on good quality work boots. I need new soles once every 12-24 months. I can usually get new soles put on for $40 and any torn stitching repaired. Makes those boots last a Looooooong time.
I have a pair from about 2007 in regular rotation.

If you buy fancy shoes, you can get the heels or soles replaced when they wear down. It's not really worth it for a pair of cheap casual shoes, and for some lower quality shoes, it's not even possible.
I have a wonky ankle, so I take my shoes to a shoe guy that glues an extra piece of rubber or leather to the bottom of my shoes so they wear more evenly. And my sister has a pair of boots thast she found in our grandmother's attic when I was little. She's had them resoled 4 times in the last 20 years but they're still great boots.

Some people pay a lot of money for a single pair of shoes. Like boots or designer heels. Cobblers wonโt repair a low end pair of Nikeโs. They repair European made expensive shoes, replace the sole or fix a stitch that fell out, things like that.

People don't seem to get that alterations and stuff are not the same as tailor-made for your body. Making a piece of clothing fit you better isn't the same as having a piece of clothing literally made for your body.

In my and the person I responded to's response, we assumed OP meant bespoke when he said custom tailored.
Tailoring can be done for relatively cheap just as you said, whereas having bespoke made clothes is something you'd possibly do when you just became a billionaire haha.
Neither of us said anything incorrectly, we just responded from different perspectives. Hope that clarifies things.

I recently threw away the most ratty looking looking of my fishing clothes because I looked homeless when wearing them. My "new" fishing clothes are mostly old things that don't fit too well. If I could afford to be extravagant, I'd have them tailored to fit and look better.

I don't see how. Regardless of OP's premise that you would just magically attain billionaire status, there'd probably be some paper trail of your new assets in some public record for them to piece it together. Hiding it even with some master-level tax-evasion style illegal shenanigans would probably be impossible. Although, you may try the dictator and corrupt politician way of having assets linked to unquestioningly loyal minions so as to make yourself appear wealth-adjacent rather than wealthy in your own right. That could fool them for a while, but these things have a way of coming out anyway.
Spurrierball ยท 20 points ยท Posted at 17:52:54 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nah you can actually hide all that money pretty easily through trusts. Thats how some crazy wealthy families stay off those lists as the money isn't "technically" theirs, its owned by the family trust and the purpose of that trust is generally to provide for the health, care, maintenance, home expenses, and enjoyment of the trusts beneficiaries and they can request money whenever they want it. The trustees of these trusts, typically mega large trust corporations or investment firms, are responsible for investing all of the trust money so that it makes more money and distributing it to the trustees whenever they ask for it really.
p_turbo ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:15:18 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I take your point and I thought about that too. Wouldn't the trusts still be identifiable as being linked to you and yours though? They are pretty opaque but still... And once that happens, determining who calls the shots or, at the very least, is the main beneficiary wouldn't be too difficult, would it? Also, past the $100 mil mark it may be more sensible to have a private trust as opposed to like for instance a bank run trust. Those private family trusts are often acknowledged and the patriarch/matriarch/head-of-the-family identified as being that or 'notable people' anyway.
Spurrierball ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 19:50:26 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Trustsee's aren't obligated to report the money in the trust to anyone. The trustee pays taxes on what the trust earns via different investments but this doesn't need to be disclosed to anyone either. This is one reason why lots of professional athletes and wealthy people like trusts so much, because when your estate goes into probate anything that went through probate can be seen through public record. If you keep assets out of probate through a trust no one sees it. You can "follow money" to an extent but the amount of money owned by the trust will only be speculation unless you're a beneficiary and can demand an accounting by the trustee. Additionally the trustee is under no obligation to report who the beneficiaries of a trust are except for some gift tax purposes but that information is held by the service and not public knowledge.

Spurrierball ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 20:47:01 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No because it's technically a gift since you're not performing any work in exchange for the money. For gift tax purposes only the person giving stuff has to worry about tax consequences (I.e. You can only make tax free gifts of 14,000 to a single person a year)

My parents have this and it's the most beautiful thing, especially when you're sick of the cold (Wisconsin, USA). A shower with multiple heads, a bench, all stone, I have no idea what kind, and it doubles as a steam room. It's magnificent.

If you do some research and are willing to out in the effort yourself, those are very plausible things to have. Couple 2x4s and mortar and tile could be less than $80 to make a seat in the shower. Heated floors are like $200-$400 for a normal bathroom if you do it yourself when you re-tile. Just saying YouTube everything and plan it out and live your dream shower and feel awesome with yourself for building something so cool! (Planning my dream bathroom now...)

Price can go up pretty quick. Wiring up the heated floors, durock, waterproofing, renting/buying saws, broken tiles, plumbing, grout, new cabinets/vanity to go with new tile, shower doors, shower pan, etc. Bathrooms are one of the more expensive rooms to renovate. Not trying to discourage you but make sure you count the cost. Source: used to work with tile.

I like the sauna benches but I'd want to have a small Jacuzzi style tub in the middle, like steps up to the lip of the bath, and I'd have no need for heated floors, if you have hot enough water and one of those roof showerhead things, they warm up fast enough for me. I wouldn't want a tv but music definitely. The real fun for me though, is I'd want a Narnia door for it that looked like a linen cabinet, so all this luxury would be a big surprise in a tiny package.

This was my childhood dream. It's weird because I take fast showers now, but growing up my showers were disturbing-to-my-parents long. I wasn't even jerking it. I just loved hanging out in steamy rooms. I'd lie on the floor and let the water wash over me, play with action figures in there.
My fantasy was to have a waterproof TV, computer and microwave so I could just live in there.

Holy shit I think you are me, my perfect shower would also have a complete segment like a long strip where you can stand/lay under falling hot water, it'll drip those thicc nice drops but be adjustable to a stronger jet if needed, also stone seats obviously, only the biggest luxury. I already play with a waterproof phone in the bath but steam and touchscreens don't play very well, I think you'd need some voice commands in your shower electronics.

We had an okd house growing up with a basement like that, the basement had 2 levels, a drive in port for trucks to back in and unload (coal and wood) and an upper level that was for storage, well a previous owner installed a shower on the upper level with a drain that fed into the storm drains.
Wide open showers are amazing, plus you can slide around like a penguin! We had to be careful though, we installed a wood stove and had to be careful not to slide into it.

Those are hills. There appears to be Mugu peak which I could see it being less than 5 minutes. But it would be a lot of basically hairpin turns so you end up fairly close to the coast.

Something you might like: The original part of the Schlitterbahn water park in New Braunfels (sp), Texas has a combination water slide/lazy river (basically a lazy river with waterfalls) that goes from the top of the park down to the New Braunfels River several hundred feet below.

At the speeds you'd be reaching by going that far of a distance, you'd invariably have to make some stretches of the slide completely parallel to the ground to make sure the slider didn't go too fast. Cool concept in theory though

As someone with stupidly fast internet (lucky to live somewhere Google Fiber is offered with 1G up/down), there are diminishing returns on speed after a certain point. The bottleneck for your use just moves from your shitty 10mb modem to whatever server you are accessing for content. Even Steam maxes out downloads at about 300mbps most of the time it seems.

I have Google Fiber 1G up/down and I can verify this. I don't see much difference day to day from 100Mbit. Ten years ago it would have been different, but now web pages are dynamically generated with bulky js libraries and slow as dogshit most of the time.

Reminds me of an ask Reddit about what people have seen the wealthy drop a ridiculous amount of money on. Some guy wanted internet for his house up in the woods in the middle of nowhere. It cost him millions of dollars, but also enabled the nearby town to have decent internet for the first time ever.

Hell yea. I'd miss having easy access to grocery and convenience stores though so.. maybe I'd just open my own small store that has everything I like that only I can shop in. Pay just a couple people a good salary to work there and do practically nothing. And it plays the music I fucking like instead of that horrible garbage all stores blast like it's a damn club. I never shop without headphones. and pay some beautiful actresses to pose as customers so it doesn't feel like a wasteland.

1000 acres really isn't that much. I'd aim for at least 100,000 or maybe even a million. Then I'd find a way to make a legally binding deal with the local government to protect the land, and a well staffed non profit to care take it and other natural lands.

You don't need to be a billionaire for this. A large tract of land in Northern Ontario would be perfect. Hell just go near Ottawa and there's lots. You don't need to be too far away from major cities to get this. You could probably run fiber to your house if you wanted to.
Security system is only a few thousands and you'll have a constant perimeter monitoring if you do it yourself. The expensive part is if you want a fence. Lining a ring of sensors through the forest is easy though.
Hell design yourself a modern minimalist house and just contract it yourself. The whole thing would only be 1-2 million.

My answer was pretty similar, in that it starts with a huge chunk of land. But I would then turn it into the most amazing paint-ball/survival game arena the world has ever known. Trenches, bunkers, towers, walls, structures and features. ZIP LINES. Urban and wilderness and mixed areas. I'd hire like, famous video game level designers, and maybe find out if there is such a thing as famous paintball arena designers to come up with map ideas. It'd have some ability to set boarders so you can have small arena skirmishes, or use the entire region for games that are half orienteering to find the opponent's flag. Major camera coverage for judgment calls and replays.
Oo, and there could be more. Some nice plain old hiking trails sure, and water features for swimming or boating or whatever, but I could add obstacle courses designed for free-running/parkour and then hire somebody to teach me to parkour! PARKOUR PAINTBALL.
Oh and a miniature golf course tucked into one corner.

My grandparents lived in the middle of the mountains. The road from the valley to their house was winding along the mountain, curve after curve with often a steep incline on one side of the road and a steep decline on the other.
One time, while driving home they came upon a car that was just creeping along. With a moderate jog anyone could have kept pace with that car. My granddad flashed his headlights at them and they stopped. He asked if they needed help and it turned out that they were a couple from the Netherlands on the way to their very first skiing trip in the mountains. They were very afraid of driving on this road, understandably since it is dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. My grandfather ended up driving them in their car all the way up to their hotel with my grandmother following behind. I wonder how that couple ever got down that mountain again because in my opinion driving down a mountain road is even scarier than driving one up.

"The sky mountain"/Himmelbjerget is not even close to Denmarks highest point though. It's 147 meters, and there a many places that have higher points than that. If you check out the top 5 highest points of Denmark you'll see that the highest natural one is the unknown Mรธllehรธj with 170.86 meters in height. Some are a few meters higher, but that is because of manmade structures, most oftenly bronze-age tumuli.

That's really interesting. I've always just heard repeated that Himmelbjerget and Ajer Bavnehรธj were the two highest, depending on whether you counted buildings or not. Clearly I didn't do a good enough job at being critical about information passed on to me.

We know that he took her out to sea. We know that he chopped her up and dumped her body. (he admitted that). We know he had snuff movies and had those interests from his computer. We know the body had been repeatedly stabbed in the lower abdomen.
So yes, as a casual observer, he is guilty as fuck and is in all likelyhood a very sick fuck. There have been some speculation that he have done this before but that is yet to be any clear signs to that.

That's about 8.5 million cubic metres of stuff to make that hill (assumption is a cone with circular base, diameter 400 metres and height 200 metres). Your average dump truck holds 20 cubic metres, and giant quarry trucks can hold about 150.
The hill, assuming a mixture of rock and soil would weigh over 20 million tonnes, so sturdy ground would be needed to stop it sinking.
Looking at the prices online for 'landscaping rocks' and assuming a generous discount for ordering quite so much, at 100 giant truckloads a day you could probably have a work crew build your hill in a couple of years.
Progress would appear to be fast at first, but by the second year, progress wouldn't look like anything was happening from day to day, despite huge amounts of rock being dumped on the hill.
(They had this problem in the film The Englishman That Went Up A Hill, But Came Down A Mountain. Villagers discover that their 'mountain' falls short of the official definition by a few feet, so they set out to rectify it. Or perhaps do something terrible to the meddling Englishman who brings 'definitions' to provincial Wales.)

Doesn't that assume that he is building at sea-level though? I mean, If he starts at ~100-150 then the load is much less.

I believe thereโs a distinction between how high something is (from sea level) and how tall it is (from its base). OP said tallness so it doesnโt matter what level
ThatDrunkViking ยท 26 points ยท Posted at 13:49:38 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But then OP is wrong, because the highest point in Denmark is 171 meters. So, as long as OPs hill is more than 171m high, he will have the title, regardless of how "tall" his mountain may be.

palordrolap ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 15:05:23 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
True. The surrounding topology would have a large impact on how much extra was needed. On a flat plane at 100m, he would only need 1/8th of the original volume. To build over a similarly conical hill of 100m height, he would still need 7/8ths(!)
ThatDrunkViking ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 16:32:58 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That is super interesting actually! Do we assume the cone to be 45 degrees?
palordrolap ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 16:48:46 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That was my assumption for the sake of simplicity, yes, although to be fair, the angle doesn't matter as long as small and big cones have the same relative shape as each other. Scale a three-dimensional object by a factor of two in all three dimensions and the volume goes up by a factor of eight. 23=8

Mathematically, that would be about 40,000,000,000 pounds of dirt.
A cubic yard of dirt costs $25 and weighs 2,200 pounds.
Overall, making this hill would cost $450,000,000

M35Dude ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 10:49:58 on November 5, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Super late to the game, but....
1) Depending on the soil composition, couldn't you add a lot of water, and transport it via pipeline? Not that that would be cheaper. But I expect it would be significantly faster.
2) I would expect the work to initially appear slow, and slowly speed up, as the lower parts of the cone have such a large area, you wouldn't appear to be gaining hardly any height (initially)?
palordrolap ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 10:58:30 on November 5, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
1) Might work. There's drainage to consider as well as building the pipeline in the first place.
2) You're considering a bottom-up approach whereas I was considering a 'conical pile of increasing size' approach. There may be a middle-ground way of achieving constant height progress, but my imagination is shot today.

So many wrong things in your assumptions. The volume of earthworks depends on the elevation of the site.
If the site is already at 100m then it will be a lot less than that. And using rocks for it won't make it more stable. It's the compaction of the material and the batter slope gradient that will affect it. 1 in 3 slopes could be stable enough. 1 in 2 or 45 degrees slope(your assumptions) won't work.

If you really wanted to go crazy, you could get concrete shipped in and give them an honest to god mountain made of rock!
Since you'd be building it from the ground up, you could even have a cave system put in. Imagine that as an amusement park! Skiing on the outside (and inside during the summer), cave diving where certain routes lead to low-key classy restaurants (accessible without the cave for workers/logistics, but you HAVE to use the caves as a customer), rock/cliff climbing up certain routes, hang gliding, etc.
We might have something here boys!

Calling the whole Kingdom of Denmark by just "Denmark" is a colloquialism. Denmark is the actually name for KOD minus FI and Greenland.
That's all geography, though. No one really gives a toss. It's all called Denmark and whether Greenland is included in that term depends entirely on if we want to show off how small or how big we are.

Itโs so funny you say that. Iโve been driving across the US looking for a nice town to live in. From NY to FL to CA to WA and back again.
Every place that was flat - was a BIG NO. Iโm born in the mountains by the sea. Anything different feels off - wrong - uncentered.
My theory is that somehow - gravity - affects me. The feeling of being home. Mountains and the sea have a huge mass - hence huge gravitational pulls.
G=[(mass1)(mass2)] / R2
Donโt know if you care. But [(my mass)(mass of mountain and sea)] divided by the distance between us squared.
The further I move away from them - the less gravity I have toward them by a factor of 2 for every meter I move away. But - no matter the distance - there is always a small attraction to them - as well as everything else - including you.
Maybe no science behind it. But it feels right.

There's a giant pile of dirt in the middle of Illinois that the Native Americans built over a thousand years ago by carrying one basket of dirt at a time. It's called Monk's Mound, and at the base it's nearly as large as the pyramid of giza. Not as tall, though, it's just a pile of dirt.

Code scan is usually free at most places, it gives you a range of codes that could be causing the problem. If you want to really figure out what's causing the light to come on, then you want to do an engine diagnostic, which is roughly $100 (depending where you go). The engine diagnostic will give you a more specific result, as opposed to a code scan
wighty ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 16:01:54 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
What do they do differently in a "diagnostic" compared to the code check? Just spend the time actually examining the engine to see what are the common causes of that CEL code? Because depending on the code I imagine they could be spending a lot more time than $100 worth of laboring finding the cause.
cciv ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 16:16:29 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's the risk they take. Maybe the code tells them all they need to know, and they get done in 5 minutes. Maybe they spend 5 hours figuring out what's wrong, but the customer has them do the repairs for $1500 and they make up most of the money lost that way.

Paid $100 to figure out what exactly was causing my wife's old Scion check engine light to come on/stay on. Turns out it was something emissions related, which we don't have to worry about in our state and it would have been an extra $600 to repair it. We decided to gamble and just kept up regular maintenance for a few years until we sold it.
I wouldn't try that with most other vehicles. That thing was built to last.

Itโs worth noting that the $100 he was quoted was likely for an engine diagnostic rather than just a code scan. Most garages generally like to know exactly whatโs wrong with the car before doing a repair. A code scan just gives you a broad idea. For instance, the code readout will say something like โO2 out of range. โ That could mean : Your O2 sensor is bad Your catalytic converter is bad Your engine is running too rich Your engine is running to lean Ect.

Thankfully, I found an easy bench test involving my DMM and a propane torch for testing the constantly shite O2 sensors in my '97 LHS.
Mind if I briefly pick your brain on another vehicle? '02 Ranger, 4.0L, threw a Engine Lean code the last two times I filled up this fall. First fillup was about half empty, second fillup was from E. My roommate works for Advance Auto and said this happens to a lot of people this time of year because of winter additives in the gas.
First time I ran into these. No other codes, nothing pending. Advance, roommate's personal good scanner, and my OBDII bluetooth plug-in all agree on just the two lean codes. If this was your personal vehicle, what would you probably do? I do have access to other vehicles if something does go minorly wrong.

Same thing with me. Went to Ford, they said $116 for "diagnostics". Told them no. Went to Autozone, they pulled it for me, said it was a dealer code but to Google it and it will show up. Did that, found the issue, called the dealer, $65 for the part, $110 to install. Laughed, hung up, bought the part from the dealer, took 5 minutes out of my day to install it.

I don't understand why people take their car to the dealer for repairs if it's not under warranty. My A/C fan motor went out and they wanted $200 to replace it. I bought a new fan motor for $45 and pulled out the 4 screws that hold it in, put the new motor in and put the 4 screws back in. Less than 5 minutes and they were going to charge me $150 for labor.

My Subaru dealership wanted $200-250 to replace one of my belts that was squealing. It was one of the easiest belt changes I've ever done, took like ten minutes including the YouTube video, and $10 or so for the part. I originally brought it there so they could cut and program some keys which they ended up declining to do despite my insistence.

I used to work with a lot of dealers (ferrari, lambo, bentley, etc) and subaru was always the coolest. They charge that much because theres always a set price per hour for everything. It might take a mechanic 10 minutes to do something but you'll still get charged the hourly price.

I thought that the issue was covered by an extended powertrain warranty on it (which I was informed it was prior until I showed up and they said it wasn't). So it was not worth the hassle of them trying to tell me that pulling the codes would need to be under "advanced diagnostics".

It's a commodity. Would you rather spend a full day learning how to take apart, replace, and reassemble it. Or would you rather pay for someone else to do it.
I used to do oil changes myself but my newest car runs full synthetic and the service costs like $5 less than the oil itself. So I also save on the filter and time.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhman ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 16:10:25 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't think commodity was the word you were looking for.
I don't expect people to work on their own cars, though they should for things like my example where a youtube video and 5 minutes of your time will save you $150.
You can find a good local mechanic who can do everything needed at a fraction of the cost of the dealer though.
I know how to change my own oil, but I just go to a lube shop and have it done for convenience. An oil change takes more time and makes me get dirty on the ground. When its 4 screws to pull a plastic part and save $150 I do it myself.

Adding onto this
Jump on amazon, search for OBDII scanner, buy a 10-15 dollar bluetooth adapter, and leave it installed in your car. The location of the port is typicallyyyyy on the underside of the steering wheel column.
Download Torque on the google play store (sorry, I don't know what the equivalent is for iOS). Sync it to your bluetooth adapter and boom, you can now read your own check engine light codes on the fly; plus a bunch more things you can monitor with your car's performance.
I've gotten a check engine light while driving, checked the code, realized it was just bad spark plugs that need to be changed, and cleared all the codes. It's actually a pretty handy tool for 10 bucks and a free app. Not having to drive to an auto parts store to figure out what's wrong is so convenient.

FLHCv2 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:12:39 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I've never had a problem with mine. I'm unsure of it's accuracy when it comes to things like water temperature or oil temperature, but the device basically pulls it straight from the ECU, so I don't see a way it can be inaccurate seeing as it just pulls and displays data being collected by your car's computer.
I work on my own car, so it's definitely super convenient. Even if you don't work on your own car, you can at least diagnose it without taking it into the shop or a store so you can be more informed on how important/big of a job this will be before getting it repaired.

No not enough to where I'd say it's consistently correct, but enough to where it's helpful and the money is worth it.
The main problem tends to be that one issue can cause another to seem like it's failing when it's not. Certain models of cars are well known for stuff like that. Typically though, when you search the internet for the problems you'll be able to find out which are false positives of you search based on your manufacturer and model

It's as accurate as your sensors and reports what the computer thinks is wrong. It won't 100% tell you your problem, but with a bit of google you should get pointed to the correct general area for most common issues.
I've used one and a different app called OBD Fusion which lets users log sensor data like temperature, rpm, fuel economy, etc which is really nice for harder to diagnose issues.

A lot of newer cars will display codes if you run through the onboard diagnostics. Then you're just a Google search away from learning what that code means.
Even my 03 vette has it. Got a lean bank code, read through a forum, cleaned my MAF sensor and cleared the code to see if it came back. Fixed.

My 2001 Cadillac Eldorado has on board diagnostics.
Some push button voodoo on the temperature controls and would do complete engine and accessory diagnostics. It would scroll through each one and if popped a code, you'd write it down. At the very end, if you had a check engine light, it gave you the option to clear it. It was great when trying to troubleshoot engine/transmission issues.

You can buy good ones for $25 on amazon. The connect to a device through Bluetooth too so you don't have to worry about the cord. Because of thisbthey can also collect and store real time data from your car while driviing it around town.

OBD II is ok. the dealers and some mechanics have higher end stuff that reads even more data from the computer.
OBD II was basically invented to give some information to the end user and mom & pop mechanics.
It's usually enough information to work off of. Depends on the problem and the car.

I posted this in a deeper child comment but this is probably a better spot for it.
Adding onto this:
Jump on amazon, search for OBDII scanner, buy a 10-15 dollar bluetooth adapter, and leave it installed in your car. The location of the port is typicallyyyyy on the underside of the steering wheel column.
Download Torque on the google play store (sorry, I don't know what the equivalent is for iOS). Sync it to your bluetooth adapter and boom, you can now read your own check engine light codes on the fly; plus a bunch more things you can monitor with your car's performance.
I've gotten a check engine light while driving, checked the code, realized it was just bad spark plugs that need to be changed, and cleared all the codes. It's actually a pretty handy tool for 10 bucks and a free app. Not having to drive to an auto parts store to figure out what's wrong is so convenient.

You can get bluetooth ones for like $10 that will read codes, and the torque app will do pretty in depth lookups and explanations of what the codes mean. Way better than the $50+ readers that just give you the code and you gotta hope that you can find the information somewhere.

Whenever there is something wrong with an automobile, especially an older one, it's usually a few things at once causing the problem. Diagnosing auto issues is extremely hit or miss because of how many moving parts there are on a car, and unfortunately its usually looked at as incompetence/lying to sell parts.
RelativeMotion1 ยท 6 points ยท Posted at 14:40:10 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's the thing, it's generally not very hit or miss if you have the training, tools, and experience. There is a proper diagnostic path to be followed in most cases, which will lead to the correct repair.
Parts store employees rarely have any of this. So they scan the code, and look it up. They will then usually recommended replacing the part* the code is set for. But the code does not always mean "this part is bad".
To use a medical analogy, that's like the doctor saying "because you have a runny nose, it's a nose issue. You need a nose job.". In reality, it's because you have a sinus infection, which needs to be treated.
If you have some spare cash to spend in an effort to avoid repair shop charges, you can throw some parts at the wall and see what sticks. But there is no replacement for knowledge and experience.

Well put. I used work at an Infiniti dealer, a common issue on the G35 is a code for the absolute manifold pressure sensor. You would think the sensor would need to be replaced but there is an ECM update that corrects this code 9 Times out of 10. Same thing when I worked at Hyundai years ago. There was an O2 sensor fault on the Elantras that was corrected with a software update.

You should write down the code they pull from your car and google it yourself. Maybe try calling around to see what other people think. Typically codes give a pretty clear indication of what's wrong or it'll narrow it down to 2-3 things that could be bad.

From what I've heard, it's because of a class action law suit where mechanics didn't like Auto Zone taking away potential business. So you can only go to a shop where they will charge you for reading your engine code. Sucks.
It might be more nuanced than how I'm explaining it though.

There are also $12 bluetooth thingies that plug right into the OBDII port, and are hardly bigger than the port. You can order them online from various places, and there are phone/tablet/etc. apps to talk to them. It'll even open a web page that tells you what the code means... though sometimes the page will be gibberish. For example, instead of saying, "Check your gas cap", it will talk about a 'vapor recovery leak, part of emission system blah blah blah'. Technically all correct, but not very helpful when it will just make me pop the hood and look for loose or cracked hoses or some other problem, there.
Thanks bro, for insisting on 're-filling' that two gallons of gas, then cross-threading my gas cap and gorilla cranking it in place, and damaging it, so I saw the check engine light, and had to randomly pull off the freeway on the way home, and eventually buy a $15 OEM replacement cap!

Just be careful, a lot of times the malfunction that the code shows is NOT the part that needs to be replaced, and some of the dumb ass workers at these places will try to convince you otherwise. I replaced all my spark plugs recently, and one of the new ones was bad. I could tell because my truck was shaking and vibrating due to misfires. So I got it scanned and the code was a misfire on cylinder #4. The Autozone worker tried to convince me to replace my injector, which costs $60, and you're supposed to replace all of them at once, so that would be 8 injectors in my case. I tried to tell him that I know my injector didn't go bad in the hour and a half period since I changed the plugs, but he didn't understand that the code isn't always for the exact part it says. I somehow convinced him to replace the bad plug they gave me, and what do you know, no more misfires. Long story short, knowing a little bit more than the Autozone employee saved me $300 and a few hours of my day.

SternLecture ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:38:45 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
prediction this is going to get buried. A lot of people think "oh just get the code checked and thats 50% of the way to fixing it" Many time the trouble code will just be a generic one like evap system leak detected but it doesnt tell you whether it is the hoses or a valve or pump or sensor or filter. So it can be a lot of work to diagnose what the actual problem is instead of just throwing money and parts at something.
Also most CEL problems are just issues with the Emissions equipment that don't necessarily mean the engine is turning itself into a pile melted metals.
TLDR: CEL lights and OBD codes give you good help but you still need to diagnose and find solutions. If you have a CEL and check the codes and its just some smog related component you are probably fine to drive until you can get it fixed or have to pass emissions testing.

If my check engine light isn't on then I know there's a problem.
I know why the light's on and it's not a safety risk, but replacing the parts needed would exceed the value on the car.
So for now when I have my annual emissions and safety inspection (NYS-mandated) I have to plan it in advance to reset the computer and drive until it's fully reset but hasn't yet detected the dying catalytic, because that light being on is an automatic fail.

Many states don't use a sniffer on the tailpipe. Many just plug the cars obd port and read the readiness monitors. Some don't even do emissions. They just do a quick safety check and pass you

Michigan doesn't do any safety checks. You can drive around after your exhaust falls off and the only thing that might happen is you can get a ticket for the car being too loud.

The internal test is not very accurate, and it tends to prematurely fail the catalytic converter, so chances are it's still good enough to pass a sniffer test.
Sometimes replacing the downstream O2 sensor increases the accuracy enough to keep the check engine light off for a year or two.

Yeah I'm in NYS where they do a computer test not the sniffer. They might do the sniffer when you test in NYC metro but that's extra money and I can just get the inspection done upstate.

Last March I had my yearly emissions done but my cc is dying/dead. Just as you said, repairing it, after everything else I've done to the car, would total it. My mechanic put some Sea Foam to clean off the carbon deposits on the pistons that made the computer happy long enough to do a full reset on it. Eventually, I'll need to buy a new car, but since my tags expire December 2018, I've got some time if I can't pass the next test.

Traditionally, spark plug anti-foulers do the trick, but they wouldn't pass a visual inspection.
The reason why it works is related to how the test works and why its used. It's kind of complex, but here's the best explain-like-I'm-15 I could come up with:
The aim of the car's catalytic converter efficiency test is to ensure that the catalytic converter is reducing the levels of harmful carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbon, and nitrous oxide emissions in the cars exhaust. Your car has no means for measuring the levels of these emissions, so instead it compares the O2 level in the exhaust emitted by the engine (which the electronic fuel injection needs to know anyway) to the O2 level in the same exhaust after it has passed through the catalytic converter, under various fuel/air mixtures. The catalytic converter uses O2 when reducing the levels of harmful emissions, so it does change the levels of O2.
As a side note, the post-catalytic-converter O2 sensor exists only for the test, but it is exposed to some extremely hot air, so it often doesn't last as long as the catalytic converter. They are often available as aftermarket parts, with an OEM-compatible connector, often for less than $20. Someone inexperienced can swap it out in less time than they would spend driving to and from a repair shop and waiting around there, so I recommend it as a cheap first attempt at a DIY fix for anyone with the issue.
Manny emissions tests use a probe (often called a sniffer) placed in the exhaust to measure the levels of the harmful emissions I mentioned earlier. If they are too high, either due to engine problems or a faulty catalytic converter, the car will fail the test. Many areas have emissions tests that don't use the sniffer, so they rely on your car to prove that the catalytic converter is working. Because of this, the O2-level test is designed to fail before the catalytic converter is bad enough to fail the sniffer test.
When running the O2-level test, your car will vary the air/fuel mixture and test how quickly the O2 level changes. By partially blocking off the O2 sensor, an old-but-usable catalytic converter will still pass the O2-level test. It doesn't work if the catalytic converter is dead, but at that point you should replace it anyway. Most of the time though, an old-but-usable catalytic converter can go years after it fails the O2-level test before it fails the sniffer test, and needs to be replaced.
Considering that an old-but-usable catalytic converter is still reducing the harmful emissions to acceptable levels, and that there is significant environmental harm in mining of rare-earth elements used to build, and far more harm in building an entire car, I find it ethically better, though legally a grey area, to do what it takes to keep an old car running on an old-but-usable catalytic converter than to replace a catalytic converter, or an entire car, just because a set of environmental testing standards missed the mark.

We even replaced the O2 sensor. The cat is definitely dying. And visual inspection is part of the rest of the inspection here, so no anti-fouler trick.
But recently we disconnected the ABS so that light is on and the Check Engine light has a new friend.
We had to turn the ABS off because Meieke overtightened a new tire we got and then taking it off disintegrated the rusty ABS gears, so at 15mph my stopping distance was 12 yards due to the ABS kicking in when it shouldn't have.

howlingchief ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:14:02 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
But then I'd have to reset the computer anyway by driving ~20 miles, so that it comes up clean and ready. A recently reset computer will get flagged as 'not ready' until it gets a chance to run diagnostics. But the O2 sensor/catalytic doesn't get detected in the first sweep or so.
It's the same as just unplugging the battery for a minute. I just need to remember my favorite radio stations and fix the clock.

Because the light lights up briefly when you start the car. They look for that when doing the readiness check and if they don't see it you automatically fail also.

When I first got my 9-5 Aero, I went through it and replaced all the fluids and the DIC with genuine Saab stuff. About 4 months later while driving on my way to work, the CEL started flashing, lost all power, and smoke started coming out of the exhaust. I pulled over and shut her down, inspected everything as best I could. As I was on a highway, I tempted fate and started her back up. Idled fine, so I gingerly moved to the offramp about 50ft away and got off the highway. The CEL turned off on it's own, all power was restored, and no more smoke. The issue has not returned since. I like to think that was just the Saab making it known it could do damage, like a pissed off house cat going to go sharpen its claws. It's not hurting you, it's just letting you know it can.
Guys-in-bananas ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:03:57 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Hahaha, that's hilarious. Here are my experiences:
I had two 9-5's, no aero (I wished) but my first car was a '01 9-5 2,3t. A screw came off and shattered the oil pump in that one. Granted it had LOTS of miles on it and it ran for a relatively long time considering I got it for like $600. (Sweden) The dumbass spark cassette or whatever it is had to be replaced too among other things before this.
My 2nd car was a 04' 9-5 2,0t with much lower mileage. The turbo shat itself in that one after 2 months lmao, luckily I still hadn't taken the previous one to the junkyard yet and the turbo in that one matched mine so I could just switch thank god. (Lots of white smoke from my exhaust too before the turbo went) But when Saabs do work they are damn fine cars and you get lots of car for the price, at least here.
xxfallacyxx ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:54:57 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Absolutely. I had a turbo failure on a '01 9-5 with the 3.0t V6, and boy did I feel like a movie-style secret agent. The turbo let go while I was driving and put out a HUGE cloud of white smoke. It quite literally created a safety hazard behind me as visibility was reduced to near zero. But likewise, it was a car that I got for $600. I spent the money on a new turbo, and traded a technician a breakfast sandwich for one of the V6 spark cassettes and I was running and driving again. Put 30,000 miles on it in a year, then sold it for more than I bought it for. The profit from that went to my '05 Aero, which is fully loaded and is only missing one thing that I want, a manual transmission.

Yes, but with a jeep, there's usually some mundane thing that went wrong, like an MAF sensor.
With a Volkswagen, it's more likely that there's a tertiary oxygen sensor designed to be used during cold weather start-ups that went bad and is sending some odd signals to the CANBUS which is experiencing some weird short and is causing your windows to roll down every time you hit the brakes when your engine is still cold.

That's the most common and least expensive problem, because it's not even a cracked gas cap most of the time, it's that you didn't put the cap in all the way once. The light doesn't turn off on its own, so one time could leave it like that.

So I took it since the monthly fee was negligible and I'm more likely to be able to afford 200 than 2k.

Get an OBD2 reader if your car was made after 1997. It reads and can reset those warnings.
$10 on Amazon, get one with Bluetooth/WiFi if you have a smartphone.
Make sure itโs compatible with your phone.
Edit: added WiFi

Is this is a frequent problem and you're the type to want to know what's going on, you should look into an OBD-II to Bluetooth adapter. It connects to the OBD-II port in your car (standard/required on all models sold in US since 1996) and allows you to connect your phone to it and use an app to view information about the car. Works easiest/best on Android and is cheapest that way too.

I had a plan to do this with a three-storey underground garage/workshop a-la Iron Man so I could store some project cars away neatly whilst they're cheap. I like your idea better.

Except you cant buy everything with your money. Some people might not want to sell theeir house. My grandparends and their neighbours actually played this, when the local Auchan wanted to build a huge supermarket on their property (in-part. their house is next to the most busy road to the city center). They bough up every house/land around them, but they didn't want to sell theirs. They kept increasing the offer, and when it reached ~5x of what the property was actually worth, my grandpa said them even if they offered 100x, he would refuse, so GTFO. And so the building never happened xd

Yeah, that would be extremely difficult. Tracks are noisy smelly places, in an enclosed space it would be unbearable without extensive remediation, not to mention fire hazzards.... Underground theaters are banned in many municipalities because of the horrifying fires they experienced.
But, this post isn't all negative!
If you haven't seen THX-1138, it has an extended underground race scene like you are describing. Worth watching for ideas for your lair. Think F1 in a Daft Punk/retrofuturism style antiutopia.

ncurry18 ยท 14 points ยท Posted at 11:27:05 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
About 2 or 3 times that depending on the theater. In the US, the theaters get a very small cut of the movie ticket sales when the movie first releases, and then progressively more until the movie is no longer shown, which still doesn't amount to much. Theaters sell concessions at crazy high prices because, in reality, that is actually how they make the majority of their money.

Movie tickets in the US at an average theater are typically $7-15 depending where you go. Largest size popcorn is $7-12.
My local theater chain has $5 (admission) Tuesdays. With a rewards card, you can get a small popcorn for free, an upgrade to a large popcorn is only $4. Drinks are still $5.25-6.25 (all values are before tax).

Small: Doesn't exist, they don't sell one this size
Medium: Pretty small bag of popcorn, maybe 1.5 quart sized ziploc bags worth. Not enough for 2 people probably. Costs $6.50
Large: Decent sized bag of popcorn, maybe 1-1.5 gallon ziploc bags worth. Enough for 2 people. Costs $7.00
X-Large: A big ol' tub of popcorn that usually also comes with a free refill. More popcorn than a person should eat. Costs $7.50
Drinks follow a similar size scale, price is probably ~1-1.5 less than an equivalent popcorn. They price things so closely because they are always trying to get you to upgrade. "Do you want a large for just fifty cents more?".

You have a counter in front of every row of seats. Throughout the movie if you have any requests, there are pencils and slips of paper you can write on which you place at the edge of the counter with the written request (ordering food, refills, reporting other noisy people, etc). The employees constantly watch for people placing requests and will answer them throughout the movie. With popcorn, you get a big ass stainless steel bowl of popcorn. If you need more, you just write it on the paper and ask for it. It's the only size of popcorn they sell and you're allowed to share it. Even with two people, I've never gone through more than two bowls.

Alamo is the best damn movie theatre chain I've ever been to. They have a strict no admittance policy for people who are late to the movie, you get one warning for cell phone use and noise complaints before you are kicked out without refund, quality food and drink (beer, wine, pizza, wings, burgers, milkshakes, etc), before the previews they'll play funny tangentially related to your movie videos (so for Wonder Woman that also included a brief history of the character, for Spiderman Homecoming had this, Guardians of the Galaxy had info about tanuki, raccoon dogs, and this video, there are more videos than that, but those are just the ones I remember).
<3 you Alamo

I can't remember the last time I bought food at a theater, just because of the expense. They still don't search purses, so I bring one big enough for two bottled drinks and two small snacks for me and my husband.

Lived in a house with 4 other dudes before. We had a chore chart that literally everyone ignored almost every two weeks for over a year. I finally just raised the rent and hired a cleaner to come every two weeks, but that just made it worse because now they were paying for someone to clean for them. So now every day except for the day after she came to clean, the house was absolutely disgusting.
One tenant moved out and she came to clean the room after he left. I won't go into the grotesque details, but even after tipping her close to $400 for the 9 hours she spent in that bedroom, she never took my calls again.

That's gross, but I know the feeling. In college I lived in a 6 bedroom house with 8 people. It was nuts. We tried to have sunday cleandays cause we'd usually have parties on the weekends and have to clean up after it. But this one dude NEVER did his dishes, and left his shit all over the place. It got to the point where we would stack his dirty dishes in front of his bedroom door when they piled too high to use the sink. We all knew they were his. Ugh.
And then one other guy bought his own small set of dishes and kept them in his room & washed them in the bathroom sink, because the house dishes were too unreliable. You'd have to clean up somebody else's mess before even starting to make food.

Sure, but the pipes are fine, it's just the faucet for the tub that is worn out, but renovating the bathroom is a chore for three or four years down the road, not today, but in all that time that slow drip is going to cost me maybe a $1 in water, way less than bringing in someone to fix it or replacing the faucet.

Do you charge per job or by hour? How much?
Therearenopeas ยท 18 points ยท Posted at 13:04:38 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
A few things make the prices vary:
I charge based on the size of the house (how many beds/baths/levels) it has
If they have pets that produce a lot of hair
If I have to supply/bring my own cleaning products vs if they are all provided for me
And sometimes if the place is consistently really messy or if you can tell that it will be, rather, right off the bat. I wonโt clean hoarderโs places.
Example: say you have a three story, four bedroom/three bath, you have one dog/cat, and you provide everything I need to clean with, I would charge roughly $120. It might take me three hours so youโre looking at $40/hr.

I have a cleaner and was just wondering how much they go for in different areas. I only fell into it because she showed up at my house the day we closed on the house. She had been working in this home for 23 years. She cleans every Monday - she's pretty amazing and knows the house better than we do so we decided to splurge and keep her.

Where are you located? My housekeeper is a bit cheaper but I am not in a major city or anything.
I think it is worth it too, despite being normally very frugal. I seriously would rather her come than go out to dinner each week. My friends have been getting their house cleaned, too. Everyone thinks it's worth it. It might seem extravagant but you can afford one if you cut out takeout lunches everyday and starbucks.

The affordable ones donโt organize or anything. Just a general wipe and sweep clean (not discussing quality or anything), not like, โfigure out how to make my knock knacks arranged to be not ugly and throw out hoarder garbage pilesโ. Like, itโs good if you are generally clean, organize beforehand and want your floors swept and washed and windows cleaned, but less good if say you have desks full of random papers or a lot of clutter you donโt want to handle on your own.

Itโs something that should be discussed upon the first walkthrough/interview. It helps to know exactly what they want/donโt want, but I also tell them what I do/donโt do, too. If you want something I donโt typically provide it may be negotiable.

It depends on how big your house is to be honest. I expect houses to be messyโthatโs what you hire me for! I provide floor to ceiling cleaning and if you want something extra weโd discuss it, but for me anyways, the trim is always done every time I clean a place.

It depends. I charge by how large the house is/how long it will take me. So say you have a one bed/one bath smallish house I would probably quote you $50-$60 if you have a larger house, four bedroom/three bath with larger areas to clean it could go up to $120-$150. It also depends on if you supply me with things to clean with or if Iโm bringing everything myself.
GuardiansBeer ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:30:36 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I saw your price breakdown below and it is in line with my expectations. But now i'm wondering why/how you consider it affordable. $120 per cleaning and most I talk to want to clean ever two weeks. That is over $240 per month and in line with my car payment, more than my gas or electricity, more than even high tier cable+internet plans.
I am not questioning the charge for cleaning, which is in line with the market rate, but we cancelled after years of having it done simply because the cost was still too high.
Therearenopeas ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 13:58:41 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I justify it by it being my main source of income and itโs a lot of work to be honest :) plus, running a business means business expenses. You have to put aside money for your LLC/registration with the BBB, and of course your taxes because itโs not a good idea to run a business under the table. You have to consider the gas in you vehicle (how much to and from the houses you clean). You may have to provide everything to clean with (supplies) even a mop/broom/vacuum so you need to have that kind of stuff on hand or be able to pull out funds to purchase them.
GuardiansBeer ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:32:58 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Totally agree. I do not mean to imply you should charge less. More power to you.
As a homeowner, I just cannot afford the service you offer and $240 per month is a lot of money compared to other home costs and services. So, i don't see it as affordable, i see it as an optional splurge.
Therearenopeas ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:43:30 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Right on. Depends on the size of your house, too. $120 isnโt a flat fee, it was just an example. I clean smaller houses for $60

I actually miss doing this, my chore was hanging clothes to dry as a kid, and I continued in grad school to save money (sunshine was often more reliable than the shitty coin operated dryers where someone dumps out your still-wet clothes). It was meditative and Iโm convinced it makes the best smelling laundry. The best feeling ever is covering yourself in soft blankets that smell like sunshine.
Wish I could dry laundry outside where I am now, but itโs often too humid or rainy here and the stupid HOA here has something against laundry lines even in the backyard. The other downside is having to time sunlight and making sure you set the laundry out early enough.

After you walk/drive your laundry to the laundromat, pop it in the washer, wait for 30-45 minutes, take them out and pop them in the dryer and wait another 30-45 minutes, then take them out, fold them up and walk/drive them home, then fold/hang up everything...it becomes a bit easier to see the hate. Owning a washer and dryer is a luxury for many.

I recommend going pure hangers if your closet can fit it all. Just go to Target and get a shitload of cheap hangers. Wash the big stuff first (towels, jeans) and then once you do your load with socks and shirts, slap those suckers on hangers.
Another thing, if you're using a dresser put your less frequently worn shirts toward the bottom.

I don't think a cleaner is really as expensive as people think. My wife and I were pretty squarely low middle class and looked in to getting a cleaner. It was like $200 for the first visit where they would do the heavy cleaning and then like $50 a visit after that. That would only be $100 a month for biweekly cleaning. Not everyone has an extra $100 a month but it wouldn't break the bank for people that do.
We decided against it because we were dual income no kids with few responsibilities already doing nothing with our time. We felt paying someone so we could do even less with our time would have been exceptionally lazy.

I've probably sung the praises of my bidet four or five times on reddit now and I always mention Amazon because it's a big trusted retailer that everyone knows and from what I could tell when I got mine they have the best prices.
I guess in my head the convenience of it being available on Amazon lowers the barrier for someone who might be considering one.

depends on the model and the bathroom layout. mine has a hot water hookup but my toilet is on the other side of the bathroom from the sink so I'd have to run pex (i believe that's what it's using) across the bathroom or cut into the walls. either way, not ideal.

You know how you have to run the faucet a little while before the hot water from the heater can traverse the pipes to the faucet? Same problem with bidets. Normally they will solve that by integrating an instant water heater, or housing a reservoir of heated water. But those require power, and most toilets in America don't have outlets nearby.
Power provides opportunity for other features, like heated seat, massaging nozzle, spray mode selector, active aim, air dryer, noise assist, auto lid, illumination, scheduled cleaning, etc.

You won't find a bathroom in Italy without a bidet,. Since the '50 I think. Maybe even earlier.
Apart maybe in service toilets, you know the one with just a WC and a sink.

Not for a 'mechanical' bidet it works from water pressure. Took me fifteen minutes to install.

Instead of using the plastic t-adapter that came with mine I bought a metal one with a valve on it so I could lower the pressure going to the bidet. It helped lower the max pressure to something more manageable.

Just search Amazon for mechanical bidet and you'll see a few under $30 that look the same. Mine is made by (glances down) Astor and it is powerful and has been very reliable in the year I've had it.
After installing It you end up with a knob next to the seat and you just reach down and turn the knob to how powerful you want it and you've got water shooting onto your crack.
I thought it would spray everywhere but it does not.

The fancy ones don't just warm the seat and spray cold water. They spray warm water that you can temperature control and blow-dry your ass too so you don't touch shit. Would I get one? No, it's a bit excessive, but it really makes you feel like royalty.

You donโt need hot water for the washlet style bidets. It splits the fresh water line leading into the toilet tank and heats it on demand. So really all you need is an electricity outlet behind the toilet.
The only thing a washlet canโt do that a fully integrated Japanese toilet can is flush itself.

I think our family installed a $400 toilet bowl seat. Has heated seat and water. No deodorizer or sound device to mask the deuce dropping sound.
My brother has a model that raises toilet lid when you approach and closes lid after you leave. Also is lighted if you go at night.

I occasionally do some house sitting and one of the houses has a Japanese toilet seat. Needless to say i spend about half my time in that house on the toilet. They are relatively affordable though, i think theirs was like 350 dollar.

When I was in Taiwan for a month for business, there was one of these in my hotel bathroom. I'd occassional use the heat function but never used the bidet portion. I kept thinking to myself that I would probably love it, but still never used it. Finally the last few days of my stay, I used it and completely regretted not using it the whole trip. That was a few years ago and I still think about that special toilet seat.

Its a sliding scale. The peasant ones without warm up functions are like $30 on amazon. Then it goes up from there until you get one that plays music, auto raises the toilet lid or seat, oscillates the water nozzle arm in a wave motion for maximum cleaning etc. etc.

You can get one for like $50 on Amazon. No seat warmer though. Most people don't know but the pipes in the wall sit at 15psi which with the right nozzle is enough to blow you a new butt hole. There's no need for a pump and electricity. Just a valve because you can just split the source going into your tank.

Check out EMDR therapy. It specializes in abuse, sexual abuse, and childhood traumas. You examine the issues as an adult, and almost sympathize with your childhood self and find why you have reactions to certain things based on learned behaviors from watching adults in your life react to situations. It allows you to deal with problems rationally as an adult once you identify your reaction to certain citations. Is a phenomenal treatment that has saved my life, marriage, and children lives from bad parenting passed from my parents. Itโs even largely recommend by the VA to help with PTSD.

You know, in ancient Greece, and later in the roman period, which adopted many of Greeks' costumes, a small flacid penis was a symbol of intelligence and rationality. A big penis was a thing of irrational, instinctual, thoughtless barbarians.
They took very seriously the saying "think with your penis".
That's why you see tiny penises on all of their statues.
So, a tiny penis was a compliment, actually. Making the statues with tiny dicks is him recognizing their civility and intellect.

I'm sorry you feel this way about an entire generation, although this is really lazy stereotyping. I go out with my friends every other weekend with a 60+litre rucksack each to spend a day or two wandering around the moors, with no electronics other than a GPS, a radio, and a couple of watches. Occasionally we put up our tents and stay the night, going 48 hours without even seeing a phone. But yeah, we millennials rely so much on our phones for entertainment.

In the UK at least, bud. I only ever use yard to describe the very small space at the back of terraced housing where there is usually no natural greenery (itโs often patio/flags). Gardens here are what you call yards I imagine. The green space at the back of a house. We call the grass in front of our houses the front lawn.
usesNames ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 13:12:50 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Curious, what do you call the patch of tilled soil in which vegetables are grown? I'm seeing a lot of variation among the North American replies in this comment chain, but where I'm from in Canada a yard is all the space around a house, a lawn is the grassy part of the yard, a garden is the tilled part for growing produce, and flowers are grown in flower beds or as accents around the vegetable garden. We wouldn't call landscaped or shrubbed parts of the yard a garden here, they're just features of the yard.

Vegetable patch usually.
Garden is the land around your house.
We have flower beds as you do. And specify the grassy bit as a lawn.
As u/schlebb said, we would say yard for a small enclosed paved area such as in city houses that have a tiny outdoor space. (edit - I suspect that comes from courtyard)

A yard is mostly just grass, maybe with some trees and flowers here and there. A garden has much more in it and is more dense; they might have trees, bushes, flowers, vegetable plants, and maybe some ornaments like birdfeeders or statues. A garden can also be a specific spot in a yard.

You specifically said I was "repeating the phrase ad nauseum", which is demonstrably untrue.
Later changing your position to now accuse me of "repeating the same shit everyone posts" is effectively admission that you were wrong in the first place, and anyway the burden of proof lies with you to show me that "everybody" posts the same phrase. Otherwise you're just making vague accusation based on nothing but hot air.

Lol I don't know what phrase you are talking about, but there's nothing in my last reply I've said before. Maybe you perceive certain logical rebuttals as overused because they are often used against you specifically, because you often make the same logically flawed arguments. You think that the phrases are everywhere but really the are just following you around because you are so consistent in your shit arguments.
Also I see you are continuing with the personal attacks, the sure indicator if somebody with nothing constructive to add. Given your desperation to assert that other people are repetitive and unoriginal, and the fact that your responses are all pretty much the same "that's a cliche, you are dumb", it's pretty obvious you are just projecting your own insecurity about your personal unoriginality. You even mirrored my response format for your last line, which is about as unoriginal as it gets.
Huh that's actually pretty hilarious. You are insecure about your own rampant unoriginality so you overcompensate online and accuse everything of being repetitive and unoriginal and lash out with personal attacks when challenged.

It's like nothing you say has any bearing on reality. This isn't a troll account, and if you keep using ad homs, I'm gonna keep calling them. Like I said earlier, people don't say this stuff repeatedly, they just say it repeatedly to you, because you keep doing it.
Idk it's weird like it's satisfying taking a logical stance and defending it, but you are just spewing rubbish, idk how that could be satisfying, and yet you seem unable to stop.

Get your own. Didn't cost much. For me about 3 years to pay off. You could get many-fewer acres, and just make sure you border some government land (BLM, Forest Service, State/National Park, etc), and you'll feel like you own a lot more. 2 acres is enough to provide for most families, if you're trying to homestead or whatever.
You can get into something like that for well under 10k, sometimes less than 1k/acre.

A house with one of those ridiculously large pools with like a waterfall and a slide and multiple jacuzzis. And I want wall-to-wall aquariums in my house. And I'd be one of those people who builds a mansion for their dog in the backyard. The dog can have its own pool and waterslide.

The thread is about the most extravagantly lavish thing you'd waste some money on. Of course people aren't going to talk about how they'd save. You'd obviously hire a financial advisor and plan.

Lol yeah, I mean, the question wasnt a serious "what would you do with a billion dollars", it was "what is the most ridiculously extravagant thing you'd waste money on". I wasnt thinking in terms of realism. I was going for ridiculous.
Yohni ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 14:34:45 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You could buy something ridiculous (say a 100mm dollar house) and still have 900mm left over. With inflation and even small interest in a regular bank account (not assuming you're investing, just keeping it in a bank) you'd have 4% per year. You could spend 350,000 per year, not have to worry about rent, and you would not even take a single penny out of the money you started with. Thats 1 billion. It's a lot more money than people think it is
Riverboat_Sam ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 15:00:14 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)

I think in home aquariums are an untapped middle class luxury market waiting to happen.
I can buy lawn care for a reasonable price, partly due to scale: one company has the team, the skills, the tools, and sells to every other person on the block.
It seems to me like setting up and maintaining an aquarium matches all of these properties. I would get more value from an aquarium than from a nice lawn.
In fact, someone should set up a service that paves over my lawn for free when I buy my first year...

This made me realize that my most extravagant (or at least ridiculous) purchase would be a nanny for my dog. I would hire someone to play with my dog, walk my dog, feed him, bath him, etc when I'm not home. Just basically make sure my dog is safe, happy, and healthy when I can't be there. I feel so bad leaving him alone while I'm at work or even just going to the store. Dog nanny would put an end to that! I would expect hourly updates from dog nanny about everything from his sleeping habits to bowel movements. This should include pictures... And yes, I mean pictures of my dog's BM's too if there's something unusual about them.

My billionaire pool would be a 50-yard heated outside lap pool, for use year round, but I could get in and out during cold weather using my inside 50 yard lap pool, which would be comfortable, then swim through a passage to the outdoor pool for laps in all weather (a Marriott in suburban Georgia has one of these set-ups, and it's great except that neither pool is really big enough for lap swimming). The separate inside lap pool for when there was lighting or hail or freezing rain, or some other reason you absolutely couldn't use the outside lap pool.
I have weinerdogs, so a blow-up pool filled with 3" of water is about the most they would ever want, so no wasting money on a separate dog pool - that's just crazy!

Steven Seagal's old house on Staten Island has a huge doghouse (I'd guess at least 900 sq ft, you walk into it like a normal house) with marble floors and high ceiling with chandeliers. It's beyond gaudy but pretty impressive at the same time. The owner at the time I was there had 9 German shepherds, the 2 oldest were an all black and an all white one that were shaved to look like lions.

Even that will get old pretty quick. After a month you wont really notice how nice everything is.
Had the chance to live in a "similar" appartment for some time when I was in a semester abroad in asia. Not the same stuff as this but easily worth more than a few million. Couldnt afford that in 3 lifetimes. I have some asian friends that said I should life in one of their appartments so I dont have to search. Knew they were wealthy but I had no idea. I am middle class in europe (if even that), so I was blown away. They insisted on me staying there for free since no one was using the appartment. Was just one of many of their investments.
The nicest thing was by far the bathroom. Marble stuff everywhere. But already after the first week I got annoyed by the elevator ride when you have to go somewhere fast.. Its insane how fast you get used to material stuff.
On that note some people in poor african region probably look at your housing the same way we look at that NYC appartment..

yeah It's scarily easy to take things for granted once you're used to them. It's always good to try and take a step back and think about all the nice things you have, especially when you might be feeling down. It's natural for humans to want more and push ourselves, it's probably good for us in the long run but it can make you forget the now, sometimes.
and I've always thought that about living in a tall building, the view must be awesome but man the lift would get old fast. I've worked on just a 6th floor of a building and the lift is extra time and hassle, can't imagine being at the top of park ave. So much nicer being in an office where I can just walk up 1 flight of open plan stairs and out the door, same with the house

I think the benefit of that place, aside from the interesting urban view, for you (and me) would be the seclusion. The building presumably has a doorman and who is going to knock on your door to borrow a cup of sugar?
"Hi. Yeah, I live in the 80 mil apartment right beneath you. I'm trying to do some baking, but I'm out of sugar. Could you spare a cup?"
The only people to reach your front door would be invited guests and maybe someone business related, but that doesn't even make sense. With a 95 mil place you probably can afford an office somewhere or, like the original prompt suggests, you're magically rich so you're probably not working anymore.

That's true but I was thinking spending a ridiculous amount would attract a lot of unwanted attention, money grabbers etc and I'd want to avoid that. Spend q bit more for a nice comfortable life (get rid of mortgages and the like) but nothing that screams wealth, then set the family up when you're gone. Let nobody know unless you trust them a lot.

You'd have to live 10.000 years before you ran out of money.
Even a million per year wouldn't be enough.
Something between 13 and 20 million would be sufficient, and that's assuming you wouldn't get any interest on your money.
wolves_hunt_in_packs ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 15:58:04 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
A million a month would come close to your goal, at 12 mil a year. That's 120 mil a decade, and if the guy is 20 and expects to live to 80, 6 decades of that is 720 mil. There's still close to 300 mil untouched.
And as you point out, that money isn't sitting under a mattress rotting while you slowly burn through it. The rate of interest alone would outstrip most reasonable expenditure. I mean, I personally can't imagine sustaining spending 1 mil every month - that's like 33 grand every day. You'd have to do something stupid like start collecting cars and boats. But everyday living expenses, even if on permanent vacation? I want to relax, and being forced to spend 33k daily isn't relaxing.
Blubbey ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 15:38:29 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'd prefer not to do that tbh, id like to live modestly and not attract too much attention. Pay off mortgages, debts etc, do some nice things for the people closest to you, invest decently so you're still earning and set the family up for eternity.

I mean, a billion dollars is a lot. Unless you start reaching into "i lost my fucking mind" territory and do something completely moronic like start collecting boats, most people will barely be able to put much of a dent into it if their version of "irresponsible" merely means being on permanent vacation and doing a lot of sightseeing and eating out, not hoarding useless crap like I mentioned above with boats.
wolves_hunt_in_packs ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 15:47:23 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
lol do you know how much a billion dollars is?
Provided the guy doesn't go full retard, assuming a monthly expenditure of 1 million bucks is merely 12 mil a year, and 120 mil a decade. If you're 20 and life expectancy says you'll reach 80 (face it, most of us know many people who die long before reaching that age), that's 6 decades and 720 mil spent.
1 mil a month is like 33+ grand a day. I don't know about you but I can't imagine sustaining that kind of expenditure without being a complete moron, like starting a boat/airplane collection. I could hire a damn mariachi band to follow me all day and not come close to spending $33k a day.
Finally, the money isn't just sitting under your mattress while you chip away at it either, like the other guy pointed out you can have a management company handle it for you.

This thread will likely be read mostly by average Joes who will never even see anything remotely close to that kind of money in their life. When they do get that kind of money, you think they'll want to continue doing things like dealing with business affairs? Where they have to treat other people seriously and deal with all the attendant bullshit? Also, last I checked the stock market was full of people doing srs bzns, not relaxing and enjoying themselves.
Sure, there are some people who get off on being productive, more power to them, but after being handed a free billion I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people will more likely be looking forward to a permanent retirement free from all the problems of the rat race.

Good point, although I think 10 million would be a little of a low figure, personally, at least for a business. If the business is generating a constant flow of income to me, and there's no other issues, I'd want to stay long enough to make sure I absolutely have as much as I would ever want. 10 million is a lot, but you could burn that on a single mansion (if you want it customised and stuff). And I'd probably want to give a fair bit to family and abused dogs or something. So, I'd probably cut ties around 50 million max, depending on the circumstances.

Having gamed a long time and with people around the world, this is not true. There are lots of people I've played with from Dubai who treat video games like any other expensive hobby. They will buy a pet lion, or some other exotic animal to show off. They will buy 200k USD+ sports cars... and then buy the new model when it comes out, or when they crash/abuse them and just buy another one in a few months.
And they treat video games the same way. Will play it and dump absurd amounts of money into the games until they "win" or get bored and go to the next thing.
I've seen players like this dump 10's of thousands of USD into games like nothing. Pay to fly people they game with out to visit them, go on months long travel where they visit/game with people, sometimes pay for them to come along with them for all/part of it, etc.

Back in original World of Warcraft days, a guy in my guild was a multi millionaire from Romania. Our guild leader's PC broke, and he was just a poor college kid with no money to fix it. Romanian guy told him to go online and find whatever PC he wanted, and he would buy it for him. He did the same thing about six months later when our raid leader's monitor died.
He also bought gold and accounts all of the time in WoW. If an account had a rare recipe on it, and the owner was thinking about quitting, he would offer to buy it. For example, when the recipe for the Biznick's 3% hit scope was removed, he bought a guy's account that already had it learned, just so that we would have the recipe in guild to make for our members.

Most of those place are rarely lived in as they are were bought by russians and chinese and were and still are basically empty. When Obama restricted the sale from russians after the shoot down of malaysian airlines and after china curtailed its citizens last year from buying foreign real estate the ny super luxury housing boom took a big hit. Too bad that there are at least 5 more super tall skyscapers already in construction.
157 also has a similar issue. I remember investors bough one of the two penthouses as an investment but its still not "sold"

Your snarky comment displays a serious lack of understanding of how construction financing and commercial real estate financing works. Do you think Kushner (or any developer) is on the hook for the debt? It's non-recourse backed by the RE itself, he has no guarantees up other than standard bad boy carve outs. He's also very little of the equity in any of "his" deals.

I'm sure someone who's got 95 million dollars to buy an apartment also has 50 bucks to buy a large rug and 500 bucks to buy a snug sofa. And this is probably the type of person that would want to throw out the included sofa, rug, and TV, and replace it with more "tasteful" ones, so when you're selling real estate at this level, it's best to just stage it with temporary/prop furniture and not actually sell furnishings with it. Your 95 million dollar customer wants a high-quality box that they can decorate and furnish themselves and would take it as an affront if you tried to throw in a cheap couch with it.
Another thing is, people at this level of wealth don't really associate tight, warm spaces with comfort - they like wide open spaces, hard surfaces, and keeping the A/C low because they can afford all of those things, and all of those things have their own appeal if you're not used to cramped spaces that you can line with fur like a 70's pornset and call "cozy".

Yes and no.
I know a farmer who lives in a "small" stately home1 .
It's enormous - big tall rooms, high-ceilinged kitchen, huge formal drawing room, dining rooms and a "games room" which comfortably swallows a full-size snooker table.
And that's all great. But they also have a little room off to the side with a couple of big squishy sofas, a standard 2.4m/8ft ceiling where they can light the wood-burner, put a movie on and not have to worry about heating the big rooms!
I don't understand how someone could be "cosy" in a room with room >3m high and a floor-plan of hundreds of sq.ft - where would you put yourself in the evening?!
\1. So no, they are not "super wealthy", but I guess they are millionaires in terms of net wealth. The guy's dad was a farmer, and they grew his farm bit by bit. They snapped up quite a bit of cheap land in the 80s when the Lloyd's LMX Crisis bit and several local landowners sold land to cover their losses (Lloyd's had traditionally recruited lots of farmers and landowners into it's under-writing syndicates - it was relatively low-risk and high-return).
Their farm had been a tenancy within a much larger historic estate and eventually the big house (which was actually the guest wing and servant's quarters for the really big house, which was demolished in the 1950s when the money ran out!) came up for sale, so they bought that on the cheap. In terms of assets they're comfortably millionaires, but they're not swilling around 6-figures in personal, liquid wealth, and certainly not the sort of people who would drop $95m on a condo!).

Seriously, I get minimalism and open floor plans, but the way this is designed feels so cavernous and empty. With all the white and all the huge windows, it feels more like someone forgot to add walls to the outside of the building, and the high ceilings and huge light fixtures make the space feel more like a nightclub (or a Don Pablo's) than a living space. Even in the marketing pictures, I should be able to feel the warmth - this feels cold, sterile, and devoid of life at all.

As someone who rents on the 26th floor of a building...it's not bad. They call the freight elevator down for you, and you get an elevator all to yourself for you, or your delivery guys.
For people who can afford to live in 432 Park, they're likely not hauling anything up their themselves.

That place is amazing, but one of the bedrooms would be getting converted into a snug for sure.

Most people don't buy a dedicated kindle for reading, they just use a tablet and it leads to a lot of eye strain.
BCMike ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 12:50:00 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Then what you said is misleading. I don't disagree that tablets would cause more eye-strain than a book. But you said most people use a tablet for reading e-books, whereas in my experience "most people" use a dedicated e-reader. I would imagine that for most people, when you say "Kindle" they assume the e-reader and not the tablet.
I'm gonna look into this a little bit because I'm interested in seeing whether more people have Kindle e-readers or Kindle tablets. Because I can't see actual sales, I'm going to assume that the ratio of people who review products after buying them is roughly constant, regardless of whether it's a tablet or an e-reader.
Product vs number of reviews at time of posting:
Total e-reader reviews: 22,599
Total tablet reviews: 5,697
This doesn't even take into account those buying Kindle tablets who aren't interested in using them as e-readers. So I'm going to conclude that, in the context of e-books, when you say "Kindle", most people will think you're talking about the e-reader.

And I know barely anyone with a tablet, and know nobody who uses tablets for reading ebooks. Anecdotes aren't good evidence.
Besides, the point of discussion is, when people hear/read the word "Kindle" do they think of the e-reader or the tablet? My evidence suggests they think of the e-reader.
Another argument for this is that Kindles are perhaps the most popular dedicated e-reader, whereas Kindle Fires are nowhere near the most popular tablet.

You're right, I could have saved myself a lot of effort by just inferring that you sell products that are in competition with Kindles in order to discredit your argument.

Iโm not the kind of person who boasts about having a near genius IQ and ability to read four books a day.

All that money and the stove isn't ceramic. Seriously, once you get used to not setting stuff down on it (it's nearly flush with the rest of the counter so you have to remind yourself that you can't or you melt a few plastic measuring cups) it's amazing. Fairly quick to heat up and so easy to clean.

I would turn one of those rooms into a library, with floor to ceiling (2 stories of course) books and some of those ladders that slide across the shelves. Just off one end of the library I would have a glass enclosed reading room, with big stuffed comfy chair and a half's with ottomans , lots of cashmere throws and a brilliant fireplace made of river rock. Above the reading room I would have an observation deck, complete with a high powered telescope to view the stars.
Besides those rooms, and the pool, kitchen and bathroom I probably would never use the rest of the apartment.
Edit: Add; I would probably let those other rooms out occasionally to my fellow redditors who are visiting NYC. But only if they know the secret password!

You can find these types of homes at every price point, and there's been variations of these avant-garde homes for many decades.

I cannot imagine spending such an enormous amount of money to live there, no matter how much you have... like, how much money can you possibly have that that is not a significant amount to you?
And it does not look the least bit homey or comforting - it would feel like living in an office or at the airport. The nice part of the airport, obviously, the fancy lounge... but still, very generic and cold. Maybe you could have someone open a starbucks in the kitchen.
There must be cosier places that still have tall ceilings, good views, lots of windows and open floor plans.

I honestly feel like if I were to get a shit ton of money, I'd still live somewhat frugally because it's the way I've always been and spending good money, even money I can afford, on something like that would seem like a waste to me.

Its about personal space. Honestly. If you lived with a partner in a small bathroom you come to realize that even if you love each other you will have conflicts with where your stuff goes in the bathroom. Usually the biggest contention is the gf makeup put all over the sink and taking up a huge amount of space. Looking at twitter of some celebrity posts of their bathrooms it seems the same where they have makeup taking at least 30 percent of the countertop of the sink space. So yeah why not separate when you can. That's why his and her's closets are a thing and even though sexist, the woman's closet space is bigger usually by 2X

In the UK, there's leasehold for apartments. So you "buy" the place and the landowner "leases" you the apartment for anywhere between 150 to 999 years. But effectively, everyone still acts like they are a homeowner.

I do not work in real estate, but I own a business which leases a commercial property and my lease has similar language. For commercial property itโs called a Triple Net (NNN) Lease where you basically agree to share a pro-rated portion of your landlords insurance, maintenance, and real estate tax expense based on the % of the property you occupy.

CC is actually common charges. It's basically like rent except you own your apartment. You don't need to be rich to pay them, a standard small co-op apartment here costs a about a mill and will pay a couple thousand in common charges per month. That's not a typo... you can buy a million dollar (That's pretty cheap here) apartment and still have to pay rent.

D14DFF0B ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:14:32 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's because in a co-op, you are renting. When you buy a co-op, you're purchasing shares that grant you ownership of the corporation, than in turn grants you can exclusive lease on the unit.
Also, co-op monthly maintenance fees include property taxes. For condos, those are usually a separate line item.
bxblox ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:27:34 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Even in condos though you'll effectively pay the same fee as maintenance or something. Buying an apartment is just a "right to rent" an apartment at (closer to) cost, and "right to sell the right to rent". Aside from co-ops where everyone else has a say in who you can sell that right to. See: old money park ave.
D14DFF0B ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:35:19 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Legally it's completely different.
When you buy a condo, you're actually buying real property, including some portion of the land under the building.
(Condops are different beasts)
bxblox ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:41:20 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, there's a bunch of annoying variations to these arrangements. If the building doesn't have a bunch of difficulties with underselling, defaults, et al, the difference would be pretty negligible though. A building this high profile is unlikely to go under. The fluctuating monthlies wont matter much to anyone with enough money to buy in, if they really want to be there.

I'm sitting here thinking that if you don't force yourself to live in New York and go somewhere else, that kind of money can buy you a whole town and a small paramilitary organization to guard it.
Check out what just $4 million will get you in Carmel, Indiana (ranked best place in America to live). Not only is the decor far more inviting as a place to live, it's rocking 7 bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, and a movie theater on a cozy little 24-acre wooded lot.
Spent the other $90 million to buy out all the neighbors and move your friends into their own mansions, build your own airport so you don't have to drive across the city to fly places, and jet to New York with your buds any time you want to pretend that being there is worth the ridiculous cost.

Not everyone wants a view or land like that.

I've lived in suburbs, NYC, DC, and have family/friends in the country.
I definitely would not want to live out there, no matter how cheap the land/housing is.
That said, I wouldn't want to live in NYC either...
If you are that rich, you pay for exclusivity. Why is it so expensive? Because its the only one in NYC, maybe the only one with that kind of view in the world. Because you can say to your friends that you can.
When you're that rich, maybe you do wanna live in a place like Carmel, but you'll buy Park anyway just to show it off. Or if you just happen to be in town.

I'm so confused. People are calling this an apartment, yet multiple comments are referring to "buying" it, which would make it a... house? Or, a unit? Apartments are any type of rented living space, but is there a word for a unit that shares a building with other housing units, but is purchased (somehow, I have no idea how that deed would look) instead of rented?
[deleted] ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 17:36:49 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Uhhh, no. An apartment is just a living space within a building, there's nothing requiring one to rent it, they can be owned as well...

AndromedaPrincess ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:33:57 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
A "unit" sounds more appropriate, but I think they are still literally referred to as apartments? I don't know what you'd call it, but it's not really a house or a condo, right? I'd assume that you buy the space and don't pay "rent," but there might be other fees associated because it's still inside a giant building that you don't own outright, which inevitably has a lot of maintenance.

The thing is, people at that wealth level usually want something bland so that they can put their own touch on it. You take one of these minimalist blocky apartments and put some quirky-yet-tasteful rich-people furniture out, have bright flowers on coffee tables and dressers and stuff, and little knick-knacks and splashes of color here and there, and it becomes a marvelous display of a place.

buildings in nyc are built to the highest standards. Weirdly you do not evacuate if there is a fire in most buildings, you shelter in place, close the fireproof door and place wet towels so smoke does not come in. You wait until the fire people come and evacuate you if your floor is on fire. Also the building while tall is super skinny meaning the penthouse eats the two two floors and most places only have 2-3 residences per floor

Socialites are all about the parties. It sounds made up but it's very true. The parent company I work for owns a luxury skin care line that runs about $250 a jar for foundation. They give it away to socialites on the upper east side to share with their friends at luncheons. The thought is that they'll be return customers.
I went to an intro to the company meeting and they informed us of these people's lifestyles. Apparently it's not uncommon for one of them to go into a Neiman Marcus or Bergdorf Goodman and drop $5k in one trip.

Also its not soo much soundproofing as the whole building shakes and rattles when the train comes by. Remember these subway lines are some of the oldest lines in the world and have never really been updated to modern rails.
Also you don't make as much money as you think from solar. The penthouse op talks about is I believe 4000 square feet. That is not a lot of solar power. I believe common charges is 20,000 dollars a month there.

I have been poor most of my life. We can all make a change in life. I recently bought a house with a 5 car garage and am currently buying tools to fill it. I buy them used on Craig's list and other places (I'm not rich or anything). Work hard and make good choices in work and or money and it is possible. I was making 30k a year 4 years ago and decided I wanted a change and sacrificed to get a job that pays 100k plus a year. The job requires physical labour but pays well.

Ok so I was a UPS worker then manager and hated i t so I quit. I went and got my CDL and drove for a few months and hated that as well. I got home after a long road run and my wife told me about an interview going on down at the work force services. I had been up for 30 plus hours but I took a shower and put on a suit a d went to the interview. I had no idea what it was for by the way. It turns out it was for working in the oil fields. I work for schlumberger and have been doing it for 4 years and it has been pretty good. Now this industry does have it's down turns but if you make good choices you can easily survive. I have my CDL and I went and got hazmat with tanker and this can save your job. We had lay offs a few years ago and due to having a CDL and training for my company there was zero chance I would lose my job. I work 2 weeks straight and then have 6 or 7 days off. I just took 2 weeks off so I have a month off due to the week off at both ends. I do t always love my job but overall I am happy. The only other thing I think I would do is go work for the rail road. Look into union Pacific or others like that. They have a pension and starting pay tends to be around 60k and you get to work outside. This is if you live in the US. Also if you live in California look into being a lineman I know one who makes 200k plus a year.

I really appreciate the reply! I'll have to look at what's available around me (south Louisiana) there's plenty of plant work that pays decent but I'm not a fan of all the chemicals floating around. Sadly there's not much unionized work down here. But again I really appreciate it! I'm trying to get out of electrical because it's crap work and pay isn't good unless you own a business.

Ya owning is usually how people make it. I know we have a yard in Shreveport that I have visited a few times. That is about as close as we get. The rail is union everywhere if that is what you are looking for.

Man this is off topic, but a part of me has always really wanted to get into this, like working with metal and wood to make cool shit, as like a hobby or something, but I am terrible at managing my time already between school, video games, shows, lurking on the internet, and eventually a job that adding another thing onto that is asking for trouble. no real point to this, just going on a tangent for a bit.

Lol we lived on a street a while ago where a guy literally did this. He built a business from nothing and sold it for 10 million dollars. Instead of moving he spent time buying 4 houses around his house. They now have a huge yard and work shop. They also have an awesome yard. Behind there house there is a public/private park that has an outdoor concert venue for about 1000 people. That park has concerts from famous bands and people all summer and the after parties are done in this guys backyard. I think this might be the best thing I have ever seen and is something to aspire to.

You should probably throw in a machine shop and metalworking shop while you're at it.
It's an achievable dream. It only took me a couple years to set up my forge, and about a year to collect enough tools to do most everything in woodworking. Granted, I went with mostly antique tools instead of modern power-tools. This saves quite a bit of money.
I was originally working towards setting up a machine shop, but it turns out my local hackerspace has way nicer tools than anything I'll likely ever be able to afford.

Take a nap and then start cooking dinner. Vacations like you see on TV. Just 6 week guided tours of every where. Hopefully I could find a nice lady who would like to come along with me. Then when I die I would just give it all away to someone else who I thought was deserving, with like a book of the tricks and dangers of finding a windfall of this magnitude, to just help them out you know. Hopefully they could quietly carry on the tradition, just invest and when you pass give it to another deserving soul, with their spin on how to live rich.

According to a cursory reading of the Wikipedia article, building the Hyperloop would cost between $6B and $100B, so someone waking up with $1B wouldn't be able to build one. Guess even billionaires can't have everything.

Well, my idea of "billionaire" is not having one billion.
That's just a top-end millionaire in my book...
I know the literal definition of billionaire just says "1 billion or more", but that's just semantics...

Who knew that it was MrPoopHole that would rid the world of Nuclear missiles? After buying all of the retired ones, owners of the active ones will shut theirs down to do the same. Kim Jong Un will want to make his the most badass out of hatred, and it probably will be, but he won't invite anyone, by the time he realizes retired missile silo clubs are only useful with revenue and tries to turn it back into a running silo, it'll be too late, North Koreans will have migrated to other countries for some good times and shameful nights, and he'll see that the real key to power over the world, was friendship all along.

I remember seeing those listings a few years back. That seems extremely cheap to me. I have to imagine the silos require a huge amount of abatement. There must be a high level of lead and asbestos that needs to be abated which could easily cost in the hundreds of thousands. Or it could be that just bringing it up to building code could require an insane amount of money, I mean they are old relics that the government probably stripped the electrical out of and walked away. The logistics of making this a livable building that complies with all building code is probably near impossible. I'm not even sure a municipality could even permit something like this.

There's videos on youtube from a guy exploring a silo he'd purchased... one of his 'oh shit' moments was noticing the pitch of his voice changed when he went into one of the confined spaces. He was no longer breathing air, but some other gas. Luckily he survived.

Hardly any of them have a fully pimped out silo. Most are run down and have water damage. I still have not seen a vertical cylinder silo pimped out yet, I see some box ones that hold a nuclear truck launcher pimped out but not the cylinder ones.

Now if we can just get all of us who have that same retirement plan together we can find one thatโs already setup and raid them. Right? I mean, we all have guns and ammunition and Iโd about bet that we all at least have a replica sword from our favorite movie/TV series, right? Some of us might even have an actual real sword or two - Cold Steel counts, as do Japanese swords captured during WWII.
If you donโt have swords and/or guns, bring your favorite EDC knives. No knife? Weโre gonna need flashlights and batteries!
What? You donโt have batteries, flashlights, knives, swords ammo and/or guns? Not even the mall ninja swords? Airsoft! Have you got Airsoft weapons? You guys can hold the perimeter and work with the BB and pellet gun guys and threaten to put peopleโs eyes out.
No, you donโt have any of that stuff? Ok. You guys take your fidget spinners and wait over there. If an outsider comes over and ask whatโs going on, act nervous and show them how long your spinner spins.
DMs and GMs, we expect a fully fleshed out campaign on or about December 1st.
Edit- I didnโt purposefully leave out axes, machetes, pole arms, etc. you guys group up beside the Cold Steel, Atlanta Cutlery, and Noble Collection folks. Donโt get too close if the Cold Steel guys start fooling around with the ribs and brisket that were provided for the afternoon tailgate party.
And stay way the fuck away from the dude wanging away at that 50 gallon steel drum. That one might be my husband.

I'd turn it into multi floored bar/club, with circular stairs going around the edge from top to bottom. Every floor has a different theme and only serves particular drinks. At the top, you can only buy green glowing shots, because that's where the warhead was. At the bottom you can only buy drinks that are set on fire because that's where the rocket exhausts used to be, etc. If you make trouble, you're kicked out into space.

Having helped clean-out and refurbish an old Atlas-F silo, I can tell you that would be a HELL of a lot of work. Most of them were flooded after they were decommissioned and the blast doors were left open to the elements so Soviet satelites could confirm the missiles were gone. Youโre talking a giant, rusted, moldy, toxic-waste-filled mess. Also, the layout isnโt really conducive to having a lot of people in them.
Fun fact: the main silo is deep enough that the whole Statue of Liberty could fit inside it.

I would never wear the same pair of socks twice.
Few things are better than that feeling of putting on a new pair of socks for the first time.
(I am a boring, content person.)

I have considered doing this, there's a store in the UK called Primark that sells 5 pairs of socks for ยฃ2. They're reasonable quality (for what you pay) but feel really good the first time you put them on.
A week of socks is ยฃ2.80. A month is ~ยฃ12.00. A year is ~ยฃ150. That's less than I spend on my phone all for that New Sock Feeling โข.
I'm living with negative money, so I'm not going to do it - but I've definitely thought about it.

Not the same as fresh every time, but I did recently threw all my socks out and bought 20 pairs of the exact same primark socks; now I never have to pair them up and I never have odd socks. When one looks worn I can chuck it out and not worry about lacking a full pair.
I'd say it's up there in terms of satisfaction.

Alright, you are obviously so super duper smart, tell me, what fizzymcdizzy thingledingle that can't be called chemical is causing the irritations/allergic reactions?
Only around pedantic idiots. When someone talks about chemicals with normal people, they imply "I don't know what the fuck this compound is, but it's a bad thing" when they talk about chemicals in a non-positive way.
Normal human beings can infer meaning from context.

The first answer I've found (which took about 2 minutes) is formaldehyde, which is indeed a toxic chemical, and would have been a great thing to bring up in place of the generic term chemical in your original post.
I got called smart and an idiot in the same post, as well as getting told that I should just treat people like they're not intelligent enough to understand the actual subject matter and it's better to use generalized terms like "chemical ooh scary". And it's only Wednesday! What a day to be alive!

It's not drugs. It's just shit they coat all textiles with to make them feel softer on the rack. If you ever buy a new towel off the rack they're crazy soft, but if you try to dry anything with it, you'll notice that it doesn't absorb squat. It's covered in a waxy substance that needs to be washed off in the laundry a few times before it gets any absorbancy.

My wife kept stealing my socks, so I went to Costco and bought like 4 packages and hid them. So, I basically had brand new socks everyday for like a month. My feet did have some semi serious irritation that went away when I started wearing the socks after they were washed.

Not true. One Christmas my family asked me what I wanted and I said nothing. They persisted so I asked everyone to pool together and buy me 365 pairs of socks. I wore a new pair everyday for a year, no rash. Now I will never have to buy socks for the rest of my life. I just rotate my stocks of socks and I am good to go.

I tried this lifestyle last december. I bought 56 pairs of socks since I wanted them all to be the same and interchangeable. These socks lasted me for roughly 2 months. It was nice at the beginning, but overal, ripping up the packaging every morning was a bit of a hassle, so I stopped and used socks that were worn before.

I did this for about a year. I now own a seabag full of socks. Also about 20 suitcases full of other clothes. And a dozen or so black trash bags full of towels. The worst part is I never did laundry, so everything sat in garbage bags until I finally got a place, about 90% of this stuff smells like mold, even after washing. So it's all pretty much garbage.

You still want to wash them first. New socks are usually coated in some nasty stuff that helps keep them preserved for shipping/sitting on the shelf. You don't want it on your skin. It's like eating fruit without washing the wax off first.

I've had the idea of a subscription based service of new socks daily. You would get enough socks for each day of the month of the first. Then when you next shipment comes in you send back last months socks in that box. The company could either repurpose the material or just do some refreshment of them.

It was great to see a guy who started in the hood on food stamps with a PS3 and a camcorder, go on to buy his own house in a suburb somewhere and be able to afford a new pair of socks every day. You really know that he appreciates what he has now, but will always remember where he came from.

I decided that this is what I would do with the money I saved from quitting smoking, but for some reason I just didn't do it.
I think having a plan for what I would do with the money helped me quit, really, but I don't know why I didn't go through with it.
I guess once you stop smoking there's no real point when you are completely confident that you'll never go back, so i don't feel like I quit, i just don't smoke anymore.
I suppose now is a good time to go buy some socks. It's been at least three years now.

I read that same thing used as a tip in quitting smoking. For people who were on a pack a day, it showed that for 4 or 5 euros you can get the most luxurious socks you want and wear a new pair each day. Now I imagine there are a few people who are on more than a pack a day, I quit smoking few months ago but I myself was on 1,5 pack a day. I was smoking 20 ciggies on average but I always had to buy one pack more before going home just in case of emergency, so I bought two packs every other day.

I know someone who quit smoking by designating her cigarette money to cigarettes and socks. Every day she didn't smoke she could afford a brand new pair, so she'd stop by the corner store and buy a pair of nice socks for tomorrow. Then the new socks feeling tomorrow would remind her how nice it felt not to smoke all day and she'd use it as motivation to not smoke again.
People kept telling her she was wasting her money on all those socks but she countered that she would have been wasting her money and wasting her lungs on cigarettes anyway. She ended up giving away most of the socks when she was done to her friends.

i didn't know this but you can do this for little money. sometimes less than $1M but definitely less than $10M.
Here's a start. $83K off the coast of Ireland. I'm not so sure about that website but it looks like a good jumping off point. there's some really good ones with "price available on request" so who know which way those go. But there are some really nice ones in the $250K - $500k range. that should get your country development plans off the ground quicker.
if you're lobbying the UN anyway, might as well start by seceding from whatever country currently controls your island. can't be that hard really. why would any country care if you want to cut yourself off from their services for your 20 acres or so?

With a billion dollars I really would do this minus the harem and neutering. It'd be kind of pleasant to live in a reasonably nice gated community where all my neighbors are hand picked close friends and family that I get along with. Add some extra houses as perks for employees that are going to be making my life better like a nutritionist/chef, fun personal trainer, etc.

I call it like I see it. If one company takes a stand to improve the diversity of the industry, rather than just their own company, and you, as a white male, take issue with that, you are ignorant of your privilege. (That's the rhetorical "you", btw, not you personally). Ignorance tends to have three varities; lack of knowledge, pure stupidity, and willful ignorance. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt, and assume it's not pure stupidity, and considering how readily available information on the topic is, being poorly informed comes off as willful. Willful ignorance is a defensive mechanism to avoid unpleasant truths. If acknowledging your privilege is unpleasant, the most reasonable explanation is that you are a failure, desperately trying to find a reason to feel superior to someone.

Sure, I don't disagree that there is a distinct presence of female supremacist philosophy masquerading as feminism. That doesn't change the fact that one can be willing to work for a feminist organization as a man without hating oneself. It's not about hating oneself as a white male, it's about recognizing the societal advantages that come with being a white male. A lack of white males in the company broadens the diversity of the industry at large, rather than just trying to fill a corporate quota because of poorly implemented, bureaucratic, politically correct bullshit. Think of it like a theme park. There were many entrances, with different requirement. Some required age and/or experience, some required a degree, many required that you be white, and many required that you be male. There was, of course, one entrance in the front with no requirements, but the line was atrocious. Eventually, new entrances started being added, requiring that you be black, or Latino, or female, or Muslim, or gay, etc. For some reason, this upset the people who already had their own entrances. "They can already use the front entrance" they yelled, "this isn't fair." You see, they had been in the park for so long, they didn't realize that they had come in through a side entrance.

That's usually an incredibly easy target around here, but you're counting on people rejecting something that would make Fox look bad, so it doesn't play.
The golf example could have worked on it's own. Maybe something more relatable for this crowd. Try anime, like black people or women who like anime hate themselves. Much better premise. For this crowd.

The "cut their own dicks off for money" implies that by working for Huffington Post as a white male, they essentially relinquished their manhood. It's a metaphor for being a huge pussy by ignoring their morality and values as a white male, and taking the money from the job at a company who is known to be anti-white male instead.

Waterwings559 ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 14:36:09 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Iโm not sure how much more detail I can really go into.
So the guy isnโt being literal. Heโs not saying that the men who work at HuffPo LITERALLY took a knife and cut their own penis off. Heโs using โcut their own dicks offโ in a figurative, metaphorical sense to mean that the men are spineless. They took a job at a company whose agenda frequently opposes anything cis white male, and as a result, an outsider might view them as lesser men for joining a company that tends to shit on them and people like them.
I guess you could loosely compare it to a black person wanting to join the kkk for whatever reason. The black community would shun the individual in question because why would a black person embody the values of the kkk, who are vehemently opposed to black people. The metaphor in this sense would be something like โoh that black guy might as well have painted himself white because he joined the kkkโ
Thatโs the gist of the parent comment; white men who join a company that opposes all white men, and often has articles reeking of third-wave feminism, might as well have cut their own dicks off.

Yes, but I think in this sense, he's referring to not being an official spokesperson who's authorized to speak freely on behalf of the organization, but instead just a random actor and supporter that got handed a script and paid to do a few ads.
Another example, I was in College Democrats, and spoke in a short video ad for the organization that was shown to new students at my school. However, I was just a non-ranking member with no official role, talking off of a script. Now, if I went to the school newspaper the very next day and said some crazy shit like "Yeah, I'm a CD and we club baby seals all day. That's all we do!," they would've quickly (and correctly) said "He's not a spokesperson for our organization" before kicking my ass out.

Ok, but if you look at the actual editorial board of HuffPo there are lots of men, and quite a few last names typically associated with other ethnicities.
https://m.huffpost.com/us/static/about-us
Executive Editor is named Jim; Managing Editor's last name is Kho; going down the list I see Howard and Nick and Victor and Buck and Peter; I also see last names Confino, Terkel, Fineman, Angyal, Mahabir, Goldberg, Masroor.....
Are they majority women? Yes. Are they majority white? Yes. But I don't think the truth is as simple as your meme would like it to be.

That might just be the dumbest thing Iโve ever seen. The actual board of directors for the NRA has almost 80 members and 5 of them are not white. Whoever made this just scrolled right on through the long list and cherry picked the darkest people they could find. This image is nonsensical. What point does it even attempt to make? Liberals are stupid because the Huffington Post has a bigger percentage of white people than the NRA? Oh right because we all took that pledge of allegiance to the Huffington Post when we agreed to sell our souls to the liburul media.

I don't agree with what the NRA represents, but it's board is more diverse. That is not an opinion, that is fact.
The NRA's board members are people of different gender and ethnicity, and the Huffington Post editorial board members are all white women.
I'm not making any comments on what that implies or if I agree with the NRA or if I like Huffington Post.

Like people joke (or if they're dumb/assholes, earnestly assert) that men that work for HuffPo are less manly, because they're willing to put up with what seems like sexism. Have you seen that picture with the editorial board? All women, almost all white I think.
And with the testosterone thing, we can talk about how, hormonally, they are indeed "less manly". it's a good joke, even if you are a big fan of the site!

I mean there was a Buzzfeed video recently where a group of male writers there got their testosterone levels tested. Most of them would qualify for Testosterone Replacement Therapy under current guidelines (though they didn't mention this in the video) and the guy with the most testosterone was still only a hair above the healthy minimum under old guidelines.
Not saying every man working at a female-majority progressive publication is doing so because he's got an unhealthy hormone balance, but there's sort of a grain of truth in there.

Sorry, I was not clear with my statement. BuzzFeed is generally liberal, but it also has all sorts of stories, videos, etc. The BuzzFeed video is pseudo-science intended to generate clicks.
Some people bring up things like the video (instead of real science) to push the bullshit idea that liberal men are closet homosexuals, weak, "cucks", etc., whereas conservative men are straight, strong, independent, good in the sack, etc.

What's "it" in your sentence? Because the Buzzfeed video is hosted on Buzzfeed's site as part of an ongoing series call the Try Guys, so that's not made up by a conservative outlet. The video lists the ng/dL concentrations of free testosterone found in each man's blood by a doctor, so you can check that independently. Unless you think the guidelines for healthy testosterone levels listed by the University of Rochester Medical Center and several other sources are a plot to make progressives look bad then I'm not sure what you're talking about.
ull90 ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 17:55:05 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's a test of three or four guys. That's hardly a good sample size, so there isn't a grain of truth. Even if it is true that Buzzfeed unknowingly hires men with lower testosterone levels, that doesn't mean any of them are less of a man than others.
just_a-prank_bro ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 18:05:38 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I didn't say progressive men are all clinically low in testosterone. Do you identify so closely with Buzzfeed that you take it personally when they skewer themselves a bit? There has been some real research on correlations between hormone levels and political alignments but the findings are quite a bit more complicated than that.
A proper study finding low testosterone levels across a good sample of liberal men would be much more than just a grain of truth. Grain are small and not worth much. Buzzfeed having a "type" that it hires, and that type being typified by low testosterone traits is a grain. Nothing more, but it's not nothing.
Now you're dealing in value judgments that I didn't make. Testosterone levels have a real and significant impact on behavior, appearance, mindset and mood. Feel free to look those effects up and decide for yourself whether the traits that come along with low testosterone meet your personal values when it comes to masculinity or not. I'm not dealing with that here.
ull90 ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 01:13:00 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Why get so defensive?
...I didn't say you said that. You said there was a grain of truth to the statement, though, because of that test. If you meant to cite more than just a Buzzfeed video, you should have mentioned that.
Again, your one citation prior to this was a test of four people. That one test didn't use a large enough sample size to apply the findings to every man working at Buzzfeed. So, you came to your conclusion in a very unscientific way. My point is that one study of four people doesn't give the statement a grain of truth. For all we know every other male Buzzfeed employee has high testosterone levels.
Correct. I never said it wouldn't. Your whole previous comment was working off the idea that a four person study of male Buzzfeed employees was enough to conclude anything about the rest of male Buzzfeed employees.
Conveniently leaving out the reason you commented at all. The implication of bringing up testosterone levels in defense of another comment that joked about male Huffington post employees being castrated (and saying it has a grain of truth) is that only a man with high testosterone levels is a real man. That's enough to warrant that statement from me, at least. If you want people to take your comment at face value, maybe don't post it in a thread where people are saying liberal males are cucks.
Holy shit, really??? Wow, I'm so enlightened now that I know about hormones! Never even heard of them before, much less knew that they had an effect on my mood and shit!
Again, my comment isn't arguing that hormones don't exist or don't have an effect on you. I'm arguing that you coming to the conclusion that Buzzfeed is full of low testosterone males based off one video (the one thing you cited) is bullshit. Because it is. You could be right in your conclusion, but you're wrong in your method.
Obviously, I don't give a fuck about a guy's testosterone levels in relation to how much of a man they are. If they identify as male, they're a man. If they don't, they're not. Simple as that. I'm not going to question a person's gender just because they're liberal.
Sure.

no, the conversation was about white males being up in arms that the majority of the senior staff at Huffington Post are women, and apparently that any men working there must be physically castrated because how could you work in a majority female environment without losing your dignity.
Meekjagger ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 15:39:33 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Its not about the majority being female, its about the anti male ideology. I personally, and I would venture to guess most other people, don't give two shits about a co-worker's gender. The issue stems from HuffPo spewing out articles with some form of "men are bad and here's why" as the title. So its more a metaphorical castration, as these men are working at a company that continually discriminates based on someones gender. You know I think there's actually a word for that...

I guess I'm failing to see the relevance of this towards woman CEOs? Not only that, but men are overrepresented in prison because they do more crime than women, in fact they do a lot more crime. Now we can get into why, if it's just, and so on, but again the point is one company having a lot of women in top earning positions does not mean the men who work there are "castrated".
5th_Law_of_Robotics ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 02:59:23 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
If you want to justify hiring almost exclusively women with this stat you could justify discrimination against women with the other stat.
That and discrimination.
Also men are overrepresented among CEOs because they try for that status more often than women.
I bet you don't like hearing that. Men can be shitty by their own devices. But they certainly can't excel for the same reason.

Iโm not suggesting discrimination plays no role but I am also not suggesting women should get hired for being women. I do, however, support hiring women as CEOs and increased representation. Shocking though it may seem women CEOs are hired because theyโre capable.
I do think men are more willing to go for those roles are more likely to succeed, that doesnโt upset me. But you and I are going to disagree on why that is. I am going to posit sexism and the difficulty woman having working in male dominated fields, and youโll tell me men are just better and more confident. An interpretation I think lacks nuance and also rejects the evidence that demonstrates the assertiveness of women is perceived differently than menโs, and how women who ask for raises are more likely to be perceived negatively for it.

Oh? So no need to correct historical discrepancies or any of that?

And some are hired because they need a woman.
Actually I will say for men wealth and social status matter more so they're willing to take greater risks and make greater sacrifices. Whereas women matter simply for existing and no one judges them harshly for not being rich.
Let's see all the Disney stories where the rich girl falls for the poor boy who ends up actually just being poor and they live in a hovel for the rest of their lives.

Out of the top hundred there are 6 women.

That's 6% (trust me on the math).
Out of the millions we incarcerate 6.8% are women.
https://www.bop.gov/about/statistics/statistics_inmate_gender.jsp
The ratios are almost identical.
But while one benefits dozens of men the other harms millions.

The American prison system is absolutely despicable and should be routed from the top down. It's not a competition of which 'offends' me more - for profit, industrialised prison systems are not a thing which should exist in the world. What, you want more women in the prison system so it's 'even'?
Edit: btw those stats are weird, there are 2.2 million prisoners in the US - a mind boggling number.

Your claim was that it was ok to discriminate against men since they're massively overrepresented in every field and presumably they generally have it better.
Here's a clear example of men being overrepresented in a way that's pretty shitty.
Would you accept the argument that it's ok for women to be a minority in certain fields since they're a minority in prison?
I'm using your same logic and you don't seem to like it.
Yes, men have it better than women in every way if you deliberately exclude every instance where they don't. But that shouldn't be surprising.
ermintwang ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:17:31 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That was not even remotely my claim. My claim was it's ridiculous to get angered over the fact the executive board of Huffington Post is majority female - to the point where you call any men that work there castrated when pretty much every other executive board is majority male.
Why does it have to be a zero sum game? There should be nowhere near as many people in the prison system, and men get disproportionally longer sentences than women and that's wrong. Women are massively underrepresented at the top of pretty much every industry and that's wrong. I don't get what your issue is here.

Would you say it's ridiculous to get angry when women are underrepresented in some field because of the incarceration stats?
You tell me.
Correct. So when women feel they're being discriminated against in another area they should be reminded of this so they don't complain. Like with men and huffpo not hiring them.
ermintwang ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 21:55:56 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It doesnโt have to be a zero sum game - that was my whole point.
There are two serious issues here and one which is unimportant. It is worth being angry about women not being represented at the top of industry, and it is worth being angry about so many men being incarcerated. It is not worth being angry about The Huffington Post having an all women editorial board, it is good if women are over represented at the top of one singular business when they are underrepresented or not there at all at nearly every single other one.
We should want women to be equally represented at the top of industry and for men in the criminal justice system to be treated fairly. You are disagreeing with me for no reason other than to be contrary, or maybe you just donโt want to admit that women suffer from discrimination and systemic prejudice.
I imagine itโs probably the latter. Either way, I couldnโt really give a shit what you think.
5th_Law_of_Robotics ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 22:00:52 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Would you say they're overrepresented?
So men shouldn't have these jobs to compensate for men doing well in other areas.
Ok so how should women be punished to compensate for the sentencing gap?
Like if one judge let every man go and sentenced every woman to the maximum term that would be fine since in most every other court it's the other way around.
Maybe you don't want to admit that men do?
Anyway the point I'm making and you're missing is that you could always excuse discrimination by claiming the discriminated group benefits in a different way.
You think it's fine to not hire men for certain jobs to compensate for more men being CEOs.
That logic could be used against women too. But you only like it when it applies one way.

This is a pointless, uninteresting dialogue because you are arguing with yourself. It is interesting when people challenge your views and make you think differently, it's why I like having back and forths with people over the internet - but you're trying to force my argument into a place it doesn't exist in order to try and make me look unreasonable and I'm not interested in having a histrionic discussion with you.

All well and good except that you specifically brought the CEO thing up to dismiss concerns that one company hires almost exclusively men.
So you're claiming that wasn't your intent... But it's totally what you did.
To be fair you never really were open to having your beliefs challenged.
You have yet to say men are overrepresented in prison. You said there are too many, but that's different in a key way.
That would be like saying it's fine that only 6% of CEOs are women, we just need fewer CEOs in total.

The point is that the Huffington Post is a significant proponent for diversity in both race and gender, particularly in white collar jobs. The fact that they have a singularly white, singularly female editorial board is evidential of a deep-rooted hypocrisy within the company, one deserving of criticism.

I would assume that the editors att Huffpo would argue for diversity across all editors in media, and not in every single instance of a meeting or board or what ever. They would probably point to discrepancies in how many editors as a whole are male vs female. I'm just guessing though so I could be wrong. But stupid people also like to assume the worst in their supposed enemies.

If the highest percentage of men in your company is represented in your leadership, then they are just as guilty as the lack of diversity that they pretend to combat.
The same people that vilified the Google engineer for his claim that "men strive more for leadership positions than women" are a poster child for that exact situation.

But it's not. I havn't found any comprehensive charts or anything, but a quick glance at their "politics" section shows that about half of them are men. Same goes for their "news" section. If you want to count them up and make a pie chart I'd be happy to concede this one but it really looks like the spread is close to 50/50 from what I've been able to tell. I'd guess that the 3/7 ratio is pretty consistent with the rest of their company.
tone_ ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:02:26 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So they would argue for diversity across all editors... just not their own? The one place where they have direct control?
If they were to point out the total amount of male vs female editors as a whole then this would not be the right solution would it. And as others have pointed out, we need not speculate. HP write a lot of 'articles' bashing all male groups here or there, with no reference as to total numbers. They seem to choose whether to measure the diversity of a group individually or compare within an industry in order to pick the one that best fits the narrative.
So your second argument is that because I disagree with something, I must be stupid...? I have given a reason as to why I called someone stupid. You're just saying "disagreeing is stupid".
rutars ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:22:32 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Here are the stats from their own website. It doesn't look lopsided to me.
I'm not interested in an argument about the quality of their journalism because I never read the thing.
No, that's not what I wrote. I have little to no reason to think that you are stupid. I wrote that
which is in opposition to the principle of charity, which I hope we can agree is a pretty rational thing to adhere to, and people, including me, can be pretty bad at applying it to our political adversaries. I think that can be pretty stupid. But mostly I used it to mirror your usage of it previously.
tone_ ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:02:34 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So you had no real point to make on the topic and instead just wanted to call out my use of the term stupid as wrong. Okay, fair enough.
The principle of charity is a good point to bring up, but you can't just go around making the assumption that it has not been properly observed in any given example of decision making.
I appreciate that in the haste of a comment posted online, it can seem that irrationality and hot-headedness are the prevalent cause of a discussion or post. However I think it's important not to mistake opinions presented in somewhat casual conversation as opinions that are exaggerated / unfounded. I assure you though that this is not the first time I have commented on the subject matter and I have had what I believe to be sufficient conversations and made sufficient considerations regarding the legitimacy of my position.
Essentially, an application of the principle of charity (as one of several methodological presumption principles) will not necessarily result in a change of opinion from the priori to the posteriori. There is some irony in making this assumption.
rutars ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 17:39:10 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't care how you use the word stupid and was only responding to it because you brought it up.
The list of employees on their site is my main point. It addresses what you wrote here:
It seems obvious to me that they do in fact care about diversity in their own organization, based on the names of the people on that list.
I don't think I made that assumption either. I addressed your point about the supposed hypocrisy and added it as a sort of snarky homage to your usage of the word previously. That's it.
In fact I even stated that I hope we can agree on the principle of charity, implying that you already do. I'm glad I was right about that.
I agree completely.
So perhaps you can explain to me, who has not previously discussed the Huffington Post and their supposed hypocrisy regarding gender bias in employment, how they are hypocritical even though it seems to me that their employees are rather balanced in terms of gender?
I don't think I've made that claim either. I argued that you mischaracterized their position when you wrote:
Which I don't think they do. Even if I'm right about that it doesn't mean you suddenly have to adhere to all their opinions about gender equality. It just means you can argue against something they actually believe in.
tone_ ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 08:48:01 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So you don't care but you did respond because I brought it up...? Is that not a direct contradiction? People who don't care don't respond when something is brought up. It is sort of the definition of the term 'not caring'.
But we are talking about the picture and that meeting and the seemingly proud nature of the original photo post. How is this lost on you?
Fair enough, I think that my point out the mis-use and irony in it is still apt.
I'm sure we can agree on the principle of "genocide is bad" but I don't bring it up as it's not relevant. If I did, then I would be attempting to highlight that what you are saying appears to be going against that. Why else would I bring it up.
Again this is kind of obvious. I presume you are intentionally somewhat playing dumb to the original point of the post and are going down this "look at their staff" route of argument instead. Their staff is regardless. This has nothing to do with anything other than pride in a lack of diversity. Whether it's in one meeting or many. Were it a group of men expressing pride in a lack of female representation, people would be mortified. I'm not saying that there is an issue. I'm not saying "you need men in there too! Diversity!?!?" My original comment was only speaking to the hypocrisy in the content of their posts regularly pointing out diversity issues in other situations, yet actively promoting a lack of it and pride in that fact within their own. I think perhaps if you do not read their content as you said you do not, this may simply be a crossed point that we are arguing.
Again I'm not really seeing a point here. You have no argument pertinent to the topic, you have no real issue with me concluding that some actions taken by these people qualify as stupid to me. So I've nothing really to add.
rutars ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 09:22:54 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, there is no contradiction here. You misunderstood my usage of the word to be aimed at you personally. I tried to clear that misconception, because I want to make myself understood. You, however, are free to use the word in whatever way you like.
I'm simply trying to put that picture in a wider context in order to understand their point. Applying the principle of charity, it seems likely to me that they were talking about ethnic diversity, as gender diversity obviously is not an issue at their company.
As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, my application of the principle lead me to different conclusions than you. That's why I bring it up. I wanted to know how you could arrive at such a different conclusion.
And at this point I'm starting to question if you really do care for the principle of charity. Why would you assume I'm playing dumb and am avoiding an argument? As I said, my argument is that the context of the photo makes it clear that the company is not sexist. Their staff in an important piece of that context.
And again, this is where you and I apply the principle of charity differently. If I see a photo of ethnically diverse women in a meeting and a caption that tries to celebrate diversity, I'm not going to assue that they mean gender diversity. If I further look at their staff and see that they are indeed hiring both men and women across the company, that makes it even mess likely that they are sexist or hypocritical. If you came to another conclusions but still applied the principle of charity, you must know something about the company that I don't, which is what I'm trying to find out here.
So is this picture all that you use to conclude this? If so I don't agree, for the reasons stated above. If you can point me to some Huffpo article that, for instance, criticises other gender-diverse companies for showcasing meetings where only men are present then I will absolutely concede that they are acting hypocritically.
If you don't want to share what content you are basing your opinion on, then it certainly is.

Perhaps not literally... however; Buzzfeed (a similar venue) was doing an article on male attractiveness and their male staff did a test on testosterone as part of that, checking their own levels of the stuff. 270 is the lowest the average goes for American men and they were below that.
So, it turns into a "chicken or the egg" kind of thinking. Did that environment rob them of their masculinity or is it only appealing to those kind of men.

It's not about "How you define yourself as a man", testosterone is the thing that decides male physical characteristics and behavior. Males not producing enough of it is also considered an illness and it facilitates other illnesses to occur.
You don't need to be a "Macho Man" to be a "Real Man" but you can't ignore that higher testosterone leads to a more masculine body/behavior.

I think the problem is that it still attempts to create a social hierarchy out of something relatively meaningless to the development of self and identity. Debates about degree of masculinity and femininity are the problem. Hormones might dictate certain intractable sex characteristics, but it would be a huge misstatement to say that it is the sole factor determining masculine or feminine identity.

Nobody said that hormones are exclusively what determines your identity. They're not the entire "building" but are instead the "foundation".
And we don't judge each other based on our testosterone levels. A man at 300 isn't any less a man than someone with 1,000. It's not Dragon Ball Z power levels. A persons agency, the decisions they make, is a larger deciding factor on a persons value.
But the guys in the Buzzfeed group all having extremely low testosterone isn't a good trend. It's unhealthy for them. Look at all the effects of low testosterone and you'll see that its not just about being "effeminate". You develop a lot of motivational, body weight, sexual ability, and other problems.

The hormones and other chemical cocktails that make up your body do influence your behavior. But humans have agency and a sense of self outside of that. Higher testosterone leads to a heightened aggression, for example, but that doesnt mean that everyone with high testosterone is a roid raging jerk bag.
As far as biological determinism goes; people seem to forget how long humans have been on this planet, compared to how recently our societies became modernized. Males and Females have had pretty strict roles for thousands of years, to deal with the difficulties of life. That doesnt just go away overnight. Males are always going to trend in one direction and females in the other, mentally and physically. So we're always going to have an "Archetypal" role for each of the sexes.
However, we do live in a modern era, so we don't need to feel compelled to follow that standard. Our sex doesn't determine who we can be or what we can do. Its going to be harder to work against the standards set by your biology, and there are going to be hard limits in a few areas, but people are still free to work towards whatever goals they want.

Can you explain a bit more about how biological determinism has historically been used to deal with issues, and how, if at all, it was helpful? how do you mean men and women would trend in different directions?
ProfessorLexis ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:30:18 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I'm a bit concerned that we aren't looking at this from the same definition. I'm assuming you're implying some kind of directed determinism, instead of the Nature v Nurture argument. So, from what I know, I'll start at the beginning.
By nature, males are going to be bigger and stronger than females. Biologically this is super important for early human history, since we are creatures of endurance. Females certainly weren't weak by comparison but they did also spend a good portion of their adult lives carrying children. So you have a pretty clear divide in roles.
Even once humanity took up agriculture it was still incredibly strenuous work. And then we throw in all the warfare that humanity has done, where we had people march thousands of miles loaded with metal armor and equipment. As such, we've spent thousands of years cultivating male and female behavior, where the basis is the difference in our biology. Men compete and do the physical work. Women cooperate and do the social work. It wasn't a matter of choice as much as it was of survival. Human culture derived from this basis.
In our modern era, the last few hundred years, that's not so important. Advances in technology and machinery have almost completely trivialized physical work. But the instincts and culture we developed are still there. The choices and interests between men and women are still generally in line with how they have always been, although the line has been blurred a great deal since we no longer have the demands we used to.
This is why we're having so much conflict over parity in the workplace. Specifically office jobs. Men and women are working on the same level and in the same fields, but they don't socially play by the same rules.
Different groups have a variety of demands on how our culture needs to change to fit our modern era. But many of those demands are unrealistic in the face of how humanity... is. I feel that the only real action we need to take, is to continue to preach openness, exploration, freedom, and tolerance in letting people be how they want to be. Not to try and tear apart the tendencies people gravitate towards.
I hope that is what you were asking(?) and that it was understandable.

Edit, because I expect to be reported. I said girl power. I did not say women. Most professional women perform about the same as their male counterparts. But there's also a vocal minority that comes bearing the attitude of "We girlz are gonna take this business by storm! Down with the stinky old men!" If journalism is any indication, that group does not appear to be up to the standards of their peers.

Yeah I know about that. Anyone who took a tour of the Topkapฤฑ Palace would know that the Harem is a huge complex where the family of the Sultan lived and went about their daily duties.
About the "prostitution club" though you can't really forget that the ruling monarch had a poligamous relationship and he had many women (and men) as sexual partners and Harem is where those people lived. So it's still not OK but not as messed up as most people think it is.

Harem is definitely a place as well.
As for poligamy, yes, Islam allows it as long as the man is married to each wife and he can look after them and does not have favourites. "Allow" is the operative word because it is implied that this arrangement should come out of necessity.
There are many surahs and verses that concern with that arrangement

Or, rather than having to get crazy people who are cool with losing their genitalia for money, get people to work who are not attracted to your harem. So, for example, if your harem is full of women, hire gay guys to assist them.
Bonus: stereotypically, they're the ones you want assisting your harem anyway what with all the makeup, hair, and clothing tips they can offer. I mean, they do that anyway at a lot of hair salons now!
Fun fact: In some cultures in ancient times, the word eunuch sometimes did not mean guys with their little misters cut off, but sometimes just meant gay guys. So, the two servants who chucked Queen Jezebel out of the window to her death might have been queens themselves, so to speak.

It's not like the locals getting free university education will have zero productivity. You don't need to cater to their every need and whim - they would be quite capable of building the town up themselves. You could model it after Harris Rosen's philanthropic efforts in Tangelo Park. Reports are that the program cost Rosen about $10 million over twenty years.

I stayed at a home stay in Thailand where an American had done basically this (on a smaller scale). It seemed super helpful. He moved to a tiny poor village in the north, hired locals to build the home stay, staffed it with villagers, etc. Itโs really cheap to stay there and caters mostly to backpackers (doesnโt have amenities). They were able to build a school and a clinic in the village with his help. I donโt even think it cost him thaaat much.

Gotta build a wall to keep all the people out that want to move there. Those walls are expensive though, so you'll have to pass the cost off to the government of course.
Then you have to take away the "perks" that you started providing since you will begin to blame the people for becoming lazy due to the handouts of course.
After a few years your finances are dwindling, you need to start charging money to the people who bring your people things that they sell. We can then "Tarips". Hopefully, in doing this, you promote your people to start making things of their own to sell.
After a little bit of time, your people are making things that they can sell, reducing the goods you charged "Tarips" for. Your finances, again, begin to dwindle without the revenue you had when first introducing "Tarips". You decide that you need to charge your people a healthy fraction of what the "Tarips" were in order to break even.
Wait a moment. The college you set up is educating people in ways that aren't always beneficial to the community you have built. Need to introduce a disincentive to promote the "right" education. We can call this "Tuiption".
"Tuition" has proved to be a healthy revenue stream, why not charge a fraction of this "Tuiption" to every degree offered at our college - it only makes sense.
The people can't afford "Tuiption" any more so they stop going to get educated. We can fix this, we can charge the same amount but with the caveat of paying us back after they're finished with just a small percentage more as a sort of... Convenience fee. It's okay though, we are helping them with an education.
Now the governments around us aren't jealous per say. They are just there watching us and we don't like that. We need to find a way to defend ourselves. Let's build a "Marmy".
The people don't like the idea of a "marmy", we can tell them that without it that the other governments would take everything we have.
The "marmy" is expensive though. We need to raise that "tarips, tupitions, and tapses" in order to afford it.
Wow, the "marmy" sure is nice to have, however it's done being built. We still have the cash coming in from all the extra money to build it. We like this money but can't justify the increased rates. Let's use the "marmy" and show that it's needed. Problem, we don't need to use it. Let's stage another government attacking us, video tape it, show the people, and have them want us to use it!
Our friend, Cosmo, is in charge of this project. He also builds the "marmy". Let's pay him handsomely to keep our secret. He also said we need to build more doodads and boomwhistles, who are we to disagree? He's invoicing us 50 reddit knickles for something that was once only 10 Reddit knickles. He also has more ideas of a staged attack and has the required invoice for those as well.
Eventually we all die because Cosmo punched the orange cheetoh and the orange cheetoh dropped a MOAB on our little city.

Hiring a barista is very expensive. An expresso machine, sure, fine, a couple hundred bucks one time for an expensive one, whatever. Baristas take 1-2 grand of dollars every month even part time. That's expensive.

Couple hundred, couple thousand, doesn't take away from my overall point: Getting an espresso machine is a one-time investment that isn't too bad. Hiring a barista is what kills you. That's like buying another one of those every month.

Sure, but if you're running service already, you could theoretically train someone to handle those duties as well depending on volume (which I think is fair to assume is plausible based on pop).

I was mostly responding to the notion of 'just hire a barista!'
I agree that it may be possible to offer espressos at a bar, why not. It's just not as simple as 'oh, just hire an extra person,' on the basis of hiring people costs a lot of money and isn't a casual decision, and the sentiment is an ignorant one.

Starting a business in the food industry is very hard if you don't want it to lose money. There is very little barrier to entry, so the competition is intense. If the town doesn't already have a cafe, it's almost certainly because it will be difficult to create a sustainable business there.

Ok lets see how long we could sustain this....
Purchasing a coffee shop with seating lets use the high end since you said build - assuming from scratch - $275,000
Typical Coffee shop 10 employees
Typical Barrista salary $22,925
Experimental salary = $114,625 per employee
Yearly coffee shop labor costs = $1,146,250
health insurance per employee $5,179 X 10 = $51,790
834 years
I know there are a ton more costs - so if someone can chime in and make this more accurate, please do for Dr Sunny D, we all want this person to start on the right foot with accurate numbers. Of course i did not factor in coffee supplies, utilities, insurance, profit for the Doc etc.

Buying a building in this town would cost no more than $100,000, and that would be a good location too. I wouldn't hire 10 people, usually the gas stations here run with one or two people, and ive only seen 5 different employees there. id hire 5 initially and see how that works. that's probably overkill for the size of the store. I would hire struggling local moms and highschool/college kids. Rule is no person can work here for more than a year. It's like a scholarship if you get the position. I dont think all employees would get salaries, just the mom's. Students would be part time because of school. I imagine my salary expense would be around $500,000 including insurance. Then theres store expenses, water electricity, supplies, and one time charges (machines, furniture, etc.) Then there's the income, which is completely variable. People around here are usually not very well off, but they are proud people, and don't like to be handed anything. If they like the coffee they will probably tip 5 bucks. If not, maybe just a few. I'm not sure how much out of the hole that would get me, but I'd like to know

And you wouldn't need to replace everything every year, on a 2 year replacement basis with zero partnerships with hardware companies it would cost ยฃ80m on pure PC equipment for the 40 years I'd be alive enough to give a shit.
I would be running the business at a loss the entire time but with the income I do generate that one billion goes a long way.
Acquiring the building and making it what it needs to be, upkeep costs, insurance, marketing, furniture, taxes, staffing and all those other things scare me far more than the costs to keep the equipment up to date. I can imagine spending hundreds of millions on getting the right people and building setup and functioning how they need to. Worrying about PC components becoming dated and in need of replacements is the last of my worries when it isn't even 10% of the budget.

I'd go to generic restaurants, give my waiter/waitress 100 dollars to send a glass of milk with ice in it to a specific table. The 100 dollars would be to keep quiet about who sent the milk.
I would do this several more times to the same table until they got visibly upset. No waiter in the world would stop sending ice milks, especially after I raise the offer to 500 dollars.
If I were a waiter I would gladly keep putting glasses of milk with ice in on someone's table even if they were screaming in my face if I made 500 bucks each time.
So yeah, I would do ice milk, instant classic.
Edit: please stop sending me gold.

WHY ICE MILK
Edit: Ya know, I stepped away for a bit and couldn't stop laughing at imagining these poor people at a table crying to make the ice milk deliveries stop. Pleading with the server, showing they have kids and it needs to stop... all while the server has a smile on their face, slowly filling the table with ice milks.
Edit2: This is hilarious to me because it reminds me of this Halo Top commercial

My guess is that's the point. Maybe they'd drink a glass of milk or two if they kept coming for free, but it's milk with ice in it. It just doesn't sound pleasant to drink so you'd just sit there with all these glasses of milk at your table. Free drinks but not a drink you'd want.

That sounds about right. Like, I wouldn't be pissed that someone sent me a glass of ice milk, but I wouldn't drink it, either. And if they kept sending me ice milk, I'd eventually get pissed because they're obviously fucking with me, because why would I want a glass of ice milk, let alone 20?

I am one of those people. I can't stand it. Going to a mexican restaurant and they put chips and salsa at the table. Grab a chip, load it up, pop it in my mouth and find out they were generous with the cilantro instantly makes me want to leave.
Most of the time the other flavors in the meal cover it up. But if it's something like a chimichurri? Nope... ruins the dish. Which sucks, because I know it's something that's supposed to be awesome. But there's an after-taste to cilantro that just doesn't go away.

Nah. Brewing is to beer as brewing is to literally everything else. Pasteurization doesn't turn a previously-incomplete ingredient into a now-complete consumable, it just removes contaminants. Your analogy doesn't work.
arthritic_ninja ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:30:00 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
all your other analogies involved preperation consumption.
pasteurization is a controlled process that neutralizes potential contaminants in the beverage (making it ready for wholesale). brewing/fermentation is a process that both activates potential properties, and neutralizes potential contaminants of the beverage (making it ready for whole sale)
your analogy doesn't work.
all you need to do for beer, after market, is chill it - not bake, brew, or anything else
iSmear ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:34:33 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
We all know what fermentation and pasteurization is, you don't have to define it. But while fermentation is comparable to pasteurization in that it's a step of the process, neither one is an act of preparation.
Preparation doesn't have to be after market though, it just has to turn ingredients into a final product. Pasteurization doesn't change an ingredient into a product, it's just a step in the process. You can drink unpasteurized milk and still say you're drinking milk.
By your logic, I could eat some eggs, flour, water, and sugar and say I'm eating a cake.
arthritic_ninja ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:44:36 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
no, you mistake my logic entirely
eggs need to be cleaned and quality checked
flour needs to be milled, bleached, etc.
water purified
...
all of these are before market.
after market the ingredients get mixed and baked
...how are you not seeing this?
iSmear ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 02:28:09 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I feel like we're basically arguing semantics at this point.
But you seem to be making the assumption that the only thing that counts as preparation is after-market. So if I buy a cake from a bakery, that cake wasn't prepared? Cakes can only be prepared if I buy the eggs, flour, and milk, and make it myself?
Once again, all of the things you refer to (cleaning, quality checks, fermentation, etc) are all parts of the process, not in and of themselves preparation.
If a brewery turns hops, water, malt, etc into a beer (in which fermentation and quality assurance included in the process), the beer has been prepared. The product being bought at the checkout line at a grocery store isn't what magically makes a product "prepareable." Once a beer is brewed, it's already been prepared, because all of the raw ingredients have already been used to create a now-consumable product. Opening a bottle isn't "preparation." And, most importantly, pasteurization isn't "preparation," it's just a step in the process involved with preparation.
But the most notable source of your confusion is that you refuse to accept the concept that a product can be prepared by the manufacturer themselves, not just the consumer.

And when I actually have ice, you bet I'm going to drink at least one glass out of that gallon WITH ICE. Why? It's cold and delicious! That's all. I drink it too fast for it to be watered down and I absolutely love the taste of whole milk. Yeah, I'm a weird person.

Yeah, I think one of the best ways to use stupid amounts of money that most rich people seem too dignified to do is just to fuck with people. If I were Jeff Bezos rich, I would offer to make a sizeable donation to a local university to construct a new building, but only if they named it "Moneywhore Hall."
When they balk, ask them how much it would cost for them to name it "Moneywhore Hall." Keep upping the offer. They'll come around. Like the whores they are.
It's basically just about power for me. ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Bobolequiff ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 07:31:25 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's a probably incorrect reference to Anchorman 2. The rival anchorman, Jack Lime, loses a bet that means he has to call himself Jack Lame. He begs for some alternatives and one of the offers is "Steve Anus" . His agent asks if the can pronounce it "Steve Anoo" and Ron screams "NO! No! He has to pronounce it Anus!". At least this is my faulty memory of it.
The point is if they get themselves into that position, they can't try to loophole their way out if it, it's not moony-wore-ay hall, it's not because of the people who live there. The university are the moneywhores and they have to pronounce it anus.

Exactly. "M.H. Hall" is unacceptable. A building which does not display its name is unacceptable.
In this scenario, "MONEYWHORE HALL" is engraved in granite 2ft high above the entrance or no check. And they have to announce the name of the building.

Your post just gave me a great idea.
I'd hire out a bar for the weekend, and leave it open to the public, but every beer must be served in a glass filled with ice. I live in Austin, so it would have to be some super hipster place that only serves craft beers. I'd just sit in the corner, sipping a beer (sans ice) and watch the rage unfold.

There was once a situation at our company event where a short beefy guy kept bugging the waiters/waitresses for a beer while we just organised sitting down and settling in and the staff starting to organise themselves per tables. The โentitled/cool short guyโ that clearly had to compensate for something asked 5 times in like 10 minutes for his beer. The colleagues on his table where already acting like โI donโt belong and am embarrassedโ, so clearly were irritated. I stood up and fetched one of the waiters (out of sight from him) and that was very annoyed by the guy and asked him to โdo me a favourโ. He was clearly not happy for another โguyโ to ask for something and played nice and listened. I asked him to bring a glass of milk to the cry baby who was constantly asking for beer and make his team serve beer to the rest of the guys on the table 10s afterwards. Also there were ladies on the table that donโt even drink beer but later would :). The waiter gladly agreed (no money needed to bribe him or his team as a restaurant canโt afford to fire all 15-20 staff at once, also we are in Spain where service has a completely different meaning, compared to U.S.) and brought him a glass of milk once they were ready. Furthermore I asked the waiter, who would deliver the glas, to send it with my โcomplimentsโand to point at me. Once it was out the short beefy guy looked at me, I blew him a hand kiss, and the other waiters came and served the rest of the table an ice cold beer. The table cracked open and laughed. He lost it and made himself more โimportantโ. The waiter then brought him a beer shortly after to calm him down. Little did the short guy know that it was part of the plan as I asked the waiters to serve him only alcohol free beer until dinner was over. After one hour of drinking alcohol free beer and him acting up I broke it to him what was going on. He was very angry at me but in the end understood that was acting up and apologised to all (including staff) and was able to laugh about it. The team was having a great ice breaker time and the waiters some redemption and โthe guyโ told a lesson. Was a great Party afterwards. But hell that was priceless for 60 people except for one, it was a free lesson.

Jon Roberts did something similar, he and his gang would go to the best nightclubs/restaurants in florida and secretly send bottles of dom or whatever to tables just to see the reaction of puzzlement on their faces. Then he would chat up the hottest woman in the club and offer her $5000+ to fuck one of his friends - eventually they all said yes.

My Grammy used to drink ice milk. I don't know why, but I like to picture her receiving all these glasses and just being thankful every time. And the waiter being more and more confused by the old Italian lady drinking the milk and you upping the ante and sending more.

Who would get so upset about ice milk? I'd be a little confused. And maybe irked once I ran out of table space, but yelling and getting upset? It's not my table or restaurant.... It's not like they dropped of your meal without the appropriate condiments and didn't come back to check on you for 10 minutes. Those servers should get flogged.

One time someone actually did that to me, and I gave no cares about it and drank the damn thing. If it's fresh enough, the ice hasn't dissolved, so you get a free glass of milk.

Not much apparently given how Eastern Europeans are some of the most trafficked people on earth.

So yeah, buying white people isn't expensive if you're willing to go for some Slavic. Western Europeans would probably cost you more. Sort of like North East Asians I suppose.

As a friend who grew up in Saudi explained to me (20 years ago) they enjoy flaunting their wealth and one-upping each other.
Where an American would maybe boast about some incredible deal on a car like, โI bought it for 10% below sticker, and they threw in the entertainment package for free!โ A Saudi would be boasting about how much more they paid, a la โYou spent $50,000? Ha! I spent $60,000!โ Itโs a win-win, since it means they either got a better car, or, the same car and they just donโt need to give a fuck because theyโre so rich they can afford to โloseโ the extra money. Talking about how smart or savvy you are with money is not considered a virtue there.
So yeah. Unless there has been a major cultural shift there, buying two white people would totally be a thing. The more expensive, the better.

A family member and her husband had a really hard time. They were always running it close on their bills, a lot of the time behind. They ended up with coming in to some money, all she wanted was new jeans. She hadn't had any since high school. Made me sad.

I just busted out the knee on my last pair of jeans that I bought in 2010. I've had a couple of pairs since that people kicked down, but they blew out already. I'm seriously like, where do I get that pants money out of my budget. Yeah, if I have a billion dollars tomorrow, I'm getting pants first

Do you have a Platoโs Closet or other used clothing store in your town? I got a pair of AG the Protege jeans for $24. They look like theyโve never been worn (they are $188 new and fit better than any other jeans Iโve ever had).

You've already gotten lots of replies with the usual "$20 is cheap!" And "Goodwill, duh!"
Without trying to assume your situation is better or worse than that, I would like to add that you may want to see if there's an MCC thrift shop near you. The one thirty minutes from me has a 50ยข section. It's frustrating because nothing's in order, but I'm if I go and dig through the racks and literally try on every pair of pants that's my size I can usually find two or three pairs. After losing 40 lbs I have clothes that fit me again for under $20. I don't often look in their other sections, but the only article of clothing I remember seeing there over $20 was an evening dress with tags still on it for $22.

Watch for sales from cheaper clothing stores like Old Navy and Uniqlo. There's nothing wrong about clothing from goodwill, but sometimes you just want something that is new. You could watch r/frugalmalefashion to know when sales are gonna happen.

Iโm actually a female (I know, dumb username...) but I have been shopping at Goodwill often. The one in our little town isnโt great, but Iโve managed to find a few things there.

Well, for what it's worth, my girlfriend still follows frugalmalefashion because if a major retailer is having a big sale on men's clothing, then they'll probably be having a sale on women's clothing as well. But yah, Goodwill can be hit or miss. I stopped going to the one in my town cause it just doesn't have the higher quality stuff like the one in the town where I grew up.

Thanks! I held out for a long time before I bought new clothes. Iโm a teacher and at the end of last school year I had one pair of pants that I literally had to hold up as I walked down the hall... I spent the summer scrounging thrift stores and Goodwill and found enough. My mother-in-law is an amazing thrift store shopper and has found me a few really nice things! And my mom took me โback to school shopping,โ even though Iโm 34 years old. Haha! Some women at my church got tired of me wearing big baggy clothes, so they brought me some of their wardrobe, but one of them is bigger than me and the other is smaller, so nothing fit. Haha!
People are so supportive and Iโm incredibly lucky!

Start scrape-saving what you can now and go (as) nuts (as possible) on Black Friday / Cyber Monday. Clothes are cheaper than they will be all year, and if you time it right you may be able to sell off some of your nicer, now larger, clothes on Ebay to recuperate on some of the cash you spend.
Edit: also I don't really know the nuances, but it's possible your insurer may cover the majority of getting a new roof. My parents ended up paying a $1,000 deductible and the insurance company picked up the rest, for a brand new roof. Again I don't know the ins and outs bc the roofing company approached them, but I hope this helps.

Contact your homeowner's insurance. They may cover a significant portion of the cost of a new roof because a new roof is cheaper than replacing the roof, ceiling, attic, walls, bedrooms, wiring, etc that will get destroyed if the roof fails.

I spend more on food now that Iโm eating healthy than I did eating poorly. Ground beef is $1.79/lb on sale when you buy the 75/25 kind. Ground turkey I eat now is usually around $3/lb. A bag of carrots is $1.79, I can get a bag of chips for $1. Hamburger helper that feeds my whole family is $1 a box (plus $1.79 for that cheap beef) and ridiculously fatty and full of sodium, where a bag of frozen veggies to eat instead is $1.50-2. Small differences, but they certainly add up...
I think this is one of the most damaging misconceptions about fat people, that they spend all their money on food...
Also, I literally have to buy a new wardrobe. Like, every piece of clothing has to be purged and I have to buy new. I finally got good on summer clothes, and now itโs turning winter on me. Thatโs a lot more expensive than it sounds... Even at Goodwill, pants are $3.50, so a work-week worth of pants there would be $17.50, and thatโs only if they happen to have 5 pairs my size and a cut that works for me. Plus shirts, coats/jackets, underwear (which I refuse to buy used. Lol), bras, even my shoes are too big now that Iโve lost weight!

I know what you mean. Iโve been there- I had a lot of money and bought a lot of โstuffโ but by sacrificing my health by working too much. I thought I wanted the money but ended up unwell because of overworking. I cut back days and now work 10 hr days 4 days a week. It was a huge pay cut and I canโt afford โstuffโ anymore (I have to think twice about buying clothes etc because most of my money goes towards my house and important things) but I am much happier :)

I'd buy my local football club Belasica.The stadium is ok,but I will make it world class although still small 14-15k capacity max.(we are a 35k town,with the surrounding area 100k tops).The stadium now has around 9k capacity and 4 stands but they are not connected,I will connected them and install a retractable roof,undersoil heating,new toilets,new changing rooms,imrpove the vip section etc etc,whatever makes the stadium world class.On one side of the stadium there's a park which is beautiful,but the other side is a waste.So I will invest in a state of the art football complex on the other side with a 5 star hotel.I will take the best available coaches and start investing heavily in the youth program.I will have the best available scouts and scout the whole region (balkan's) and get the best of the best kids to train in my team.There is fierce competition in the region,but my aim would be to compete with the likes of Partizan,Red Star,Dinamo Zagreb,Olympiakos,Pao etc etc for having the best youth school in the region.I think I will be able to achieve that in 10-15 years of time.Belasica is nowhere near in terms of reputation to those clubs at the moment,but I think I can reach their level in a decade or two.

Came here to say this, although I have much different plans for my club.
I would buy the club, take it out of the competition, have the stadium demolished, keep the players on contract as long as possible (so they can't play for another club) and in the end I'd just dissolve the company entirely.
The club has been bailed out with tax-payer money several times, it's time for some payback.

Only suggestion here which could make a profit after a while. With the right scouting setup all youโd have to do is find a few promising youth players for pennies and with the right combination of skill/hype sell them on. There have to be a few unknown Mbappeโs somewhere in the Balkans.

Jen_Rey ยท 14 points ยท Posted at 13:41:21 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I don't even think that's possible. Bayerns and Barcas stadiums both have double or triple more capacity then there are ppl in my town.They are both from cities with more then a million pop.I would never be able to match their revenue or popularity.Plus at the moment I will have trouble attracting football players.The club is in a small country with mediocre league reputation and quality.Even if I manage to make some football star like Modric or Dzeko,there's no where in hell he stays in the club past 18.So I will have to start slowly and aim Europa League qualification in the first 5 years.After that I will have to throw some big money to try to stay relevant and qualify for it or Champions league consistently for the next 10 or so years.Id have to widen my scouting range to world wide and try signing cheap South Americans as well.After I become among the most reputable teams in the region,I will advocate for the creating of a Balkan Super League,consisting of the best 1-3 clubs from each country.That way the fierce competition will make the clubs better and the league being better there will be more revenue,the other clubs will start pumping more money hopefully as well.More money,higher quality league means players wont leave as much.I think the quality of the league would be somewhere around the Portuguese or Russian,but in order to improve it even more all of the clubs will have to get better and invest more,not just me.If all goes well in something like 50 years time,I might reach their level,if Im not dead by then from the 2044 nuclear war between Delije and Bad Blue Boys.:D PS:Aiming for the Champions League,not World Cup,World Cup is for countries only.
dellsamsungmotorola ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 13:58:41 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yes, everything you said is true. But when I day dream about this, my club is the biggest in the country within 3-4 years, biggest in the region in 8-10 years, wins the AFC Champions League in ~15 years, and my country wins the WC in about 25 years from when I became a billionaire. Your plan is a whole lot more realistic yes, but all I'm saying is, I'd aim for something like Bayern and Barca. Where, 6-7 starters on the national team play together through out the year, like Germany or Spain.
Ps. The Balkan League!? Get out of my head. I've always thought about something exactly like this.
Jen_Rey ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 15:49:29 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Ah gotcha,about the WC part.And really the whole region as a whole has to improve in order any of the clubs here have a chance to become anything close to the Barcas and Bayerns of this world.Tbh Id be delighted even with the level of success Olympiakos is having these years.

As a Warhammer player myself I do not understand this at all ! The painting, building and converting is 75% of the hobby to me. The rest is lore, playing and writing my own lore.

Warhammer doesn't seem quite as expensive when you consider how long you'll spend on each individual model.
I bought a half painted army on Ebay and I'm really happy with my decision. Half my guys are painted well and based beautifully, and they provide a template for me to do the rest. I'm kind of crap at assembling and painting. It was also much cheaper than buying models new

We absolutely would. During the election Bernie had a calculator on his campaign site that shows this based on your income. I have a family of four and Iโm roughly middle class. We would have saved a net $2500 a year under his plan. An extra 4% or whatever in taxes is less than the roughly $600 a month I pay for health insurance

So basically I going to pay 600(?) to wait 2 hours in a room, cancel work for the day. Then go home. Very annoying but, having nothing wrong, but getting it checked is the second best option.

It takes A LOT of money to compromise a professional with a squeaky clean record.
But once they have been convinced to crossed the line into corrupt territory a couple of times, there is no longer something special about crossing that line, and the minimum price instantly drops.
Basically it's like being surprised by the prices of a full-time sex worker because you were expecting it to be comparable to what it would take to convince a virgin to perform the same acts.

The payments you see are the tip of the iceberg. Crowd funding can't match in scope or length of time.
When you see that a company donated a few thousand bucks to a politician, you have to realize that they probably donated similar amounts to all of the other politicians in a similar position. They donated even more to the committee head who brings it to a vote. They donated to all of the PACs and super PACs that are paying for generic party and topic related advertisements. They probably also donated to some related nonprofits.
And the promise is effectively that they'll do it again next season.

Bribe: money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust.
Lobbying: to conduct activities aimed at influencing public officials and especially members of a legislative body on legislation.
โดLobbying with money/favors = bribery.

I like yours the most so far. I spend so much time fantasizing about my "fuck you, I'm rich" house too since I'm a homebody at heart and such wealth is probably only going to change that very slightly (I don't know if money can buy me extroversion, I suppose when you can afford exclusivity though in where you live and where you go it would be easier to handle being around other people there though) so I'd need all my fun shit available at home. The pool, the games room, yes maybe a bowling alley too, or at least an air hockey table or tennis court or some other kind of game that's not just a videogame available as another way for me to have fun with those visitors who aren't too fond of screens and controllers as a source of at-home entertainment.
I think you (and I) would have a much easier time finding friends as a billionaire too, and not just because we'd have a lot of cool toys for them to come over and play with. It's just that the money buys freedom man. I could be more social and make friends if I actually had the time and money to actually go out and do stuff. But I'm always having to watch my wallet or watch the time whenever I leave the house for anything, so what's the point? As a billionaire you could just do whatever you want on any given day. To hell with what time it is or how much the activity costs. Much more opportunities to network would open up right there, you'd be making friends before anyone even knew you had a bowling alley or an indoor/outdoor pool (like I would too lol)

I know some very wealthy people. This is not how it goes. Jealousy would taint the relationships with your oldest friends and even family. Even if you share a lot of money with them those dynamics will be changed forever. As far as making new friends you will find that just about everybody and their brother wants to hang out but do they actually like you? Would they do anything for you in an emergency? Would they talk to you if you lost all your money? It's very hard to know.
I'm not saying being rich isn't probably great or that you shouldn't pursue it, but the view of wealth creating social connections which you presented is pretty inaccurate in my experience.

This is why you:
Obtain a lawyer to set up a trust before you even claim your winnings. (A couple or few financial planners to split the money for investment is also a decent idea - that kind of money, as you said, fundamentally changes people. Donโt put all your eggs into one basket so one asshole advisor/investment firm can completely fuck you over.)
Buy nice things. Buy quality things. But donโt buy insanely extravagant things, or at least, not a LOT of them, and donโt show them off. Itโs one thing to buy yourself a $100,000 BMW. Itโs completely different to buy yourself a $2 million dollar Bugatti. If you are spending that kind of money in one go, make it something you can keep and enjoy at home, like art. If you go from rags to suddenly buying a mansion and ten cars, people are going to figure/assume things, but thereโs no reason to give them the full picture.
Donโt ever tell your friends or extended family exactly how much you have. For that matter, donโt even tell your parents, kids, or siblings, no matter how close you are. If anyone is crass enough to ask, all you need to tell them is that you have enough to take care of yourself and be happy.

Maybe it wouldn't cause too much damage to me as someone with only limited family and no real current friendships (as in, no-one I spend any time with outside of work) so even with new found wealth I wouldn't be risking losing too much from my life before anyway.
I'd be pretty selective with who I hang out with though. I wouldn't be interested in the types who expect to have parties or holidays all the time because that sounds exhausting to me and it gives me anxiety too. I'm sure I'd still find some friends with common interests who'd hang out with me in spite of being wealthy since most of my main interests are things not exclusive to rich people. I can't see myself making too many friends at the yacht club, but I'd probably find myself making more genuine ones in circles that revolve around my already existing hobbies.

[deleted] ยท 11 points ยท Posted at 15:12:24 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Growing up we never had money for consoles. They were far too expensive to keep up yearly (online subscription), buy new games, controllers etc.
I had to make do with my Dadโs shitty Dell, which I eventually upgraded a little.
When I had the cash for a console, we didnโt own a TV. I bought a PC and the only consoles Iโve ever owned are Nintendo ones, since they come with their own screens (Wii U, DS, GBA, Switch)
Itโs funny how some things considered so basic, like a $250 bit of hardware can seem like such a luxury to people who have never had them.
I now have a Switch, a (very nice) PC and a TV, as well as a smartphone. It all feels normal now, but the xbone and ps4 are still engrained as โluxuryโ in my head I guess, even though I have a 4K โcapableโ PC on my desk.

I like your retracting bed idea, I hadn't thought of that. My bedroom idea is to have a hidden entrance to a slide that would go to an indoor pool, possibly even a way to have my bed automatically tip me into that slide. I have trouble waking up and not hitting snooze until I have to rush to get ready for work so being thrown into a pool should help me not go back to sleep and start my day.

4.5 abv, and it is considered good enough. Rolling Rock is the brand. Yuenglings is a bit more expensive but tastes a lot better. Rolling Rock is the mid teir for party beer, Yuenglings is top teir edging on sipping beer.
Party beer is a beer you bring to a party, it is fairly cheap and isn't the best tasting but you are there to get drunk not to be a critic. Sipping beer is beer that tastes good, stuff that you drink to get buzzed then maintain, not to get smashed.

With all that said, I do agree that college is way too expensive. It's absurd how much you have to pay to get into a decent school.

Do what every billionaire does and set p a foundation to narrowly target the cause that matters to you.
Me: Iโd specifically go after lawyers struggling in solo practice or underemployed who are saddled with high-interest student loans, but instead of paying them off Iโd partner with a bank to insure low-interest refinances of their loans down to mortgage rates to give them hope of actually paying them off one day. We arenโt looking for handouts, we just want to be treated like responsible adults and not credit criminals... I still donโt understand why the government thinks itโs right to charge 8% interest in six-figure student loans when you can get a seven-figure mortgage at 3%.

One of those is collateralized by a house in case of default.
Also, government subsidized loans are in 3-4% range. The government eats the risk premium as there is no collateral. Private loans are up to 8-9% to account for risk.
NotRoryWilliams ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 14:35:19 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, you are wrong on both points. Federal loans do not carry more risk than mortgages, and they have significantly higher rates than even subprime mortgages. I am not taking about private loans which are a whole other thing (and youโre wrong about those rates too), I am only talking about federal loans.
Home loans are protected only by the value of a home, which could and often does drop below the balance of the loan. Thatโs a much higher risk to the bank than a student loan which is guaranteed by the federal government and excluded from bankruptcy. A mortgage debtor can default at any time and itโs much harder to garnish wages etc than with a student loan, the government wonโt bail the bank out on that default, and the foreclosure sale proceeds are relatively unlikely to cover the outstanding balance and costs.
If youโd dealt with foreclosures much youโd also know how easy it is for a defaulted homeowner to totally trash a house on the way out, thanking its value as collateral by easily 20-40%. It also takes years to foreclose in most states, so the bank is getting no revenue while the debtor trashes the house more, tanking its value while increasing the bankโs collection costs and gaining leverage against the bank to force a write-down of the balance. Nothing of the sort is possible with student loans. And after foreclosure, the debtor needs only declare bankruptcy to leave the bank hanging on the surplus balance. They can even go through bankruptcy while remaining in the house and force the bank to eat a loss without taking the house thanks to the homestead exemption.
So thereโs no actual justification for student loans to carry higher interest higher than mortgages.
Iโm guessing that your misunderstanding about interest rates stems from the nature of your degree. Subsidized undergraduate loans do indeed have relatively favorable rates, usually comparable to mortgage rates. But those loan terms are not available to graduate and professional students. Our loans start at 6.8% and are only subsidized for part of the time that we are in school.
My law school loans had increased in balance by almost 20% before the first payment was due just from capitalized interest. For me personally, along with many other lawyers and some doctors and various other professionals, the job market has not been what I expected and since school I havenโt had the disposable income to even keep up with interest.
The only way Iโve avoided default was first by using forbearance and then income based repayment terms, under which I will have to pay a percentage of my income for the next 25 years, during which time I will pay the original balance several times over even without ever keeping pace with interest. When the remaining balance is โforgivenโ after 25 years, the bank will still have turned a hefty profit, and I will then be taxed on the โforgivenโ balance as income, on a balance higher than the amount that was ever lent to me.
If I could get my interest rate reduced to the same as my mortgage, 3.2%, that would mean the monthly interest would finally fall below my disposable income, and I would actually have a chance at paying the loan off or at least down within the course of my career, and perhaps I wouldnโt be trapped in a career I might hate for the rest of my life. Iโm really not asking much. All Iโm asking is that the government set the interest rate to reflect the actual risk to the lender which is basically zero.

For the usual real estate LTV of 80% or so, it would take a 20% drop in prices for the house to go underwater. That is fairly rare and only only occurred a single time in living memory.
NotRoryWilliams ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 17:37:59 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Itโs temporally rare for such a drop to happen uniformly nationwide, but itโs not uncommon regionally, and itโs not difficult at all for an individual house. The owners could neglect or damage the property, the neighborhood could go downhill, an industrial neighbor could move in, etc. These events may be uncommon, but theyโre not that uncommon and theyโre far from unlikely. Mortgage balances seldom decline appreciably in the first five years so a lot could happen to put a homeowner upside down, not to mention individual economic events like a layoff or the death or disability of a spouse.
lee1026 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:49:22 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
At current interest rates and a 30 year mortgage, you would pay down 10% of the mortgage in the first five years. Inflation would eat up another 10% of the face value of the mortgage. The LTV would be somewhere on the order of 66% at that point. A fall of 33% isn't unheard of, but it is extremely rare.
A worry for real estate where the owner doesn't live full time, but not one where the owner does live full time. This is why non-owner occupied real estate carry far higher interest rates. I am sure it does happen, but it is rare enough that it is fine to eat the cost.
Neighborhoods don't go downhill fast enough to put the home underwater; in 10 years, the LTV is generally at the 50% mark in real terms.
Academic, because the house itself still hold value. The homeowner will sale and the bank will be made whole.

Letโs not lose sight of our actual topic which is comparative risk between mortgages and graduate student loans.
In a mortgage there are only two meaningful forms of security: the net auction value of the property after accounting for foreclosure costs and the high likelihood that a foreclosed-upon debtor will damage the premises and the borrowerโs credit score. Any other protections the bank starts out with are easily eliminated by bankruptcy.
In a graduate student loan, there are four: the federal governmentโs guarantee of the principal value to the lender, the borrowerโs credit score, easy access to wage garnishment, and immunity to bankruptcy.
Iโm not aware of any event short of the death of the debtor that results in the loan servicer not getting paid the principal value of the loan and a substantial profit. I am aware of many scenarios that result in a bank taking a loss on a mortgage.
There is zero justification for student loans carrying higher interest rates than mortgages.
lee1026 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:05:44 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
IBR and a low income will do the trick on forcing massive losses. Eyeballing the rates, if the debtor is on IBR, the bank is losing money, just a question of how much. (Interest of 6%, risk-free rates in the 4% range for a profit of 2%. Making 2% for 25 years for a total of 50%, and then lose 100% when the IBR forgiveness hits)
Eyeballing the death rate tables, just early death rates would be far larger than losses on the mortgages.
NotRoryWilliams ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:06:23 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, because the fed still pays them the difference. Plus the majority of debtors do in fact make a high enough income (eventually) to pay off the loans. What happens is that the balances rapidly rise while they are on IBR or in forbearance, such that when they finally get a good job theyโre paying triple the original balance by the time theyโre done paying.
Itโs absurdly profitable for the banks. They are predatory loans as currently structured.
A simple change to a risk-adjusted interest rate, comparable to mortgages if not lower, would be an appropriate and sensible policy to adopt. But banks have better lobbyists than consumers, so itโs never going to happen. We are screwed.

I see you didn't reply, but for some reason this comment has been bothering me so I've come back to follow up. It's very disturbing to me how uninformed the general public seems to be about federal student loans.
Undergraduate Federal Stafford loans to my knowledge exist at two interest rate tiers. I am not sure what distinguishes those tiers, but the rate for Federal Stafford loans whether subsidized or not can be as high as 6.8%. I currently have four Stafford undergraduate loans, two subsidized and two not, and two at 3.03% and two at 6.8%. I suspect that the difference is solely based on the date when the loans originated.
For graduate loans, I am aware of (and participating in) two Federal student loan programs. The first is the graduate version of Stafford. To my knowledge this only exists at the 6.8% rate and has a relatively low loan amount that is not enough to cover tuition and fees at many graduate or professional institutions. Because of that, many graduate and professional students also rely on federal Graduate Plus loans (not to be confused with undergraduate PLUS loans which are parent loans). I have no idea what PLUS actually stands for on the graduate loans, but it is not the same as the undergraduate PLUS loan which is a parent loan. Subsidies for all federal graduate loans were eliminated during the second term of the Obama administration, so the rate simply is what it is. For Grad Plus loans, the interest rate is 7.9%.
By contrast, the prevailing rate for home mortgages is a notch over 3% right now, right in line with the old rate for undergraduate loans, which may or may not be available to today's students; I haven't looked into current rates for new students in quite some time.
As discussed above, this rate disparity doesn't make a whole lot of policy sense. Because the Federal Government absorbs all of the risk associated with these loans, and there's minimal risk in the first place because of enhanced collection mechanisms made available to student loan servicers and immunity from bankruptcy, the banks are getting paid a huge windfall for very little risk and very little work. While income-driven repayment options are available, these options would seldom result in the lender getting back less than 100% of the principal financed, but would often result in the borrower never doing much more than catching up with interest.
For me personally, dropping the rate to a mortgage-level rate would actually bring about a realistic chance of paying the loans off. My loan balances were just shy of $150k upon graduation and are significantly higher now even though I've been paying income-based payments for four years now. Because interest alone on the loans is close to a thousand dollars a month, anything less than about $12,000 a year in payments results in the balance continually increasing. Unfortunately, since law school, my disposable income has been less than that; contrary to popular misconception, only a small minority of attorneys make six-figure salaries right out of school; many of us never will, and most take years to get there if we ever do. But suppose the rate was cut from 8% to 3%. At that point, I'd be able to make a dent on the principal with as little as $5000 a year in payments. That I could actually swing, and even paying the same amount that is currently going to just interest I'd have a chance of paying off the loans within about 15 years, long before the 25 year "forgiveness" expiration. But supposing I do have to ride it all the way out for 25 years, at $12,000 a year, I will have paid $300,000 in interest but would still owe (and be taxed on) most of the original loan amount.
If you really think that's fair, then I definitely have nothing else to say to you.

Note that the government itself seems to make a considerable amount of money on Stafford loans; many activists are not happy about that and they want to change it. As far as I can tell, a fair amount of Stafford interest goes back to pay the treasury to cover the defaults, which are considerable.
The prevailing home mortgage interest rate is in the 4% range right now. As someone who is actively getting a mortgage, I can tell you that one without looking it up. Wells Fargo backs me up on this one.
For a quick note on this one, banks have to pay for money too. The price that banks have to pay is closely related to the mortgage rate, because margins on mortgages are very thin, about 4% or so for a 25 year term. Plugging that into the calculator, anything below about 9.6K a year or so loses the bank money if remaining amount is forgiven at the end. I am willing to bet that the treasury-bank system as a whole loses money on anyone who is on IBR. Some more, and some less, but if someone is on IBR, there is basically no chance of a profit.
I am personally willing to bet money that the loan forgivenesses at the end of the 25 years won't be taxed. That isn't how politics works, and no future administration will want the optics of that.
As for fairness, I know that I wouldn't want to give a loan to students on Stafford terms; basically, defaults are too high and IBR is extremely detrimental to the lender because so many people will pay back very little. They will probably break even on you, or lose a bit of money, but on many IBR cases, they lose far more.

Well not 100%. When you default on your loans it's not like "fuck it I don't pay lalalalalalaalal" and you get your credit bombed.
If you owe a couple thousands sure bevusee you're not worth it. But higher stuff you can get sued for. Of course you can default or declare bankruptcy. But good luck on that proceeding with a cool bill in your bank account.
That's why you go in front of a judge when you declare bankruptcy. He looks at what assets you have, etc. Decides what assets you can sell. To pay X.. Create a sort of payment plan. Blah blah.
In this case you don't pay, get sued, judge rules that you have to pay because you have way more than you need to pay that loan. And that's it

But that's the problem.. You can't just endlessly fight something in court just because you want it to. That's reading too much into shows and sensationalist articles.
Government will put the case on it. As soon as a judge sees you don't want to pay student loans and have a billion in cash that will go into the docket in 5 seconds flat. And he will rule in about 5 seconds.
You can appeal, but the next court will again put it in the docket so fast.
If you want a continuance, you need to convince the judge that you need one. I'm this particular scenario.. Bankruptcy with a bil in cash or assets over student loans.. He's going to say.. "lol no" slap you with whatever fines and fees they can find and put you back in the docket.

The most common method is called leveraging, borrowing money at lower interest rates to fund higher-returning investments.
Just make sure your investments don't crash and burn.
Incidentally in my country where student loans are uncommon I have had friends whose parents chose to take them since they were going to re-invest the loan amount. Also helped that the most common student loan in my country accrues 0 interest during the period of time the student is still studying.
So this means someone could take a student loan, invest while studying (surprisingly easy), then pay back everything just before they graduate and still come out ahead.

I was going to set up a direct debit with them to save 0.25% interest on my loans. They already have my bank info and routing number, because I've saved that information in my Fedloan account to pay them every month.
So after going to set the direct debit up, I have to set up a 6 digit pin. Ok, sure. Whatever. Then it asks me for my driver's license number, years lived at my current address, SSN, and DOB. THIS INFORMATION IS ALREADY ASSOCIATED TO MY ACCOUNT. I comply and fill out all the required information. Then it starts to ask me questions to verify my identity.
FINE
Can we hurry this up now? After answering the questions, the next step tells me they cannot confirm my identity. Now they want me to mail/fax 3 forms of ID (driver's license, SS card, Passport, Birth Certificate, and/or Prior years W-2).

Some people, as adults, don't have enough time to keep up with it all.
For instance, I enjoy Hearthstone. But I'm a full grown man with a full-time job, several other hobbies, and a family (well, until today, but I digress). I don't fire up Hearthstone very often, but when I do, I want to play a competitive deck and that requires either money or time.
I only have money.
Even if I had extra time, I could spend that time at work, and make many times the equivalent value I'd get from playing the game. So, I'd have leftover time.
In many games the "grind" of daily quests etc isn't even fun, so it's not like it's way better than work. My work, anyway--which I rather enjoy.

$300 for a new character plus probably another $200 to fully gear them then you have mods (similar to runes in summoner war) for the best ones are $20 a piece, you need 6 and aren't guaranteed to roll what you need.

Haven't played in a while but at least you could straight up buy almost any character you wanted.
I switched to summoners war and I'm baffled why anyone would spend 50 dollars for a 0.5% chance at getting a useful monster. You can't just save up for a month and buy that monster you want, you have to gamble for it no matter how much you save.

Tyrant Unleashed is a shitty whale hunt guppy card game where the pay cards have stats literally 10-20x higher than the f2p and every 2 weeks they come out with new cards that are strictly better than the set before. I genuinely think to have kept up with the game and stayed on top you would have had to drop maybe hundred thou (at least many tens) considering these biweekly card injections cost around 500-2000 to get the full powered cards

Depending on how many billions your billionaire status is made of, you probably wouldn't be able to straight-up buy Blizzard. Its annual revenue is over $6 billion and its 2008 merger with Activision was a $19 billion deal. Plus then you'd be stuck with owning the company. Better to buy the collection and some god-tier WoW gear while you're at it.

An account with nearly 600 golden is nearly about 2.6k on player auction it seem lot cheaper then the entire blizzard. I guess with about 10k in investment you could probably get entire collection done.

Like I've said though I really only do it in Love Live and random games that are still only in Japanese. It's a gacha game. Unlike FPS games or RPGs it's supposed to be about gambling. So I'm not too concerned.

There is something wrong with that, because youโre supporting the idea of games as a service, instead of a product. I personally like to pay once for my games, maybe a little bit more for optional expansion content later.

Because that gets ingrained into the business model, and now nobody can buy any game and just own it, even if you already paid $60 for it. We are already seeing this happen with Forza 7, Shadow of War, and Battlefront 2. The games make it prohibitively hard to progress without dropping additional money. Now, I do think subscription MMOs are different. In a game like WoW, the cost is consistent, and made clear to purchasers of the game upfront.
It also doesnโt help that so many IAP based F2P games are low quality, no matter how good they are at wasting time on your phone.
BunnyOppai ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 13:36:41 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
F2P games aren't bad to pay for, my dude. You're supporting a game that you like to play. I can understand how someone paying thousands on a game is upsetting, but moderation is obviously key here.
Buying isn't inherently bad, overspending is.
Reddegeddon ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 13:38:52 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I completely understand that good games aren't free, it's the business model I have issues with. And by forking over, you're supporting games heading in that direction. That, and the majority of F2P games I've seen have been of fairly low quality (with a few notable exceptions).
BunnyOppai ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:46:15 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I've played quite a few F2P games, both mobile and console and I would beg to differ, but that's just a matter of opinion.
But regardless, if I occasionally spend 20 bucks on a F2P game, it's far from bad and isn't likely to have any effect on the way we're going. Like I said, spending money on a game isn't inherently bad.

The issue isn't players buying casual IAPs for games in foreign markets. The issue is publishers trying to abuse IAP systems in order to extort as much money from players as possible.
My spending in Warframe has no bearing on Blizzard's decision to put lootboxes in a AAA $60 game. Trying to pin the blame on the players is disingenuous, condescending and a giant dick move. If you really want to get angry, don't get angry and me and my mates who enjoy supporting F2P games. Get angry at Activision-Blizzard for shitting on their customers. Save your sanctimonious circlejerk for the people who need to hear it.

I don't really find any mobile games fun, mostly for this reason. What strikes me as incredibly bizarre is that often you pay in order to skip waiting periods, or long grinds. That means you're literally paying in order to play the game less.

Darkspine89 ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 09:44:23 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
South Park did a great episode about this - "Freemium isn't free", and it's worth watching even if you don't normally like the show.
Basically, mobile games are designed to be 'sort of fun'. Fun enough to want to keep playing, but not so fun that you enjoy playing it without paying for things. When you pay you progress in the game, making you feel like you acomplished something, and in games that use the 'pay X for Y more lives' format, the difficulty is actually lowered for a while, and things that have a random chance of occuring, like receiving a power-up, have their percentages increased.
Not so much that it's obvious, but enough for the player to enjoy the game more, and subconciously associate paying with fun.
This model isn't even designed to get a lot of players to pay for things, it's to get a few players (commonly called 'whales') addicted, because those few players will sink massive amounts of money into the game.
This is really just the top of the iceburg, and it's quite scary when you look into it.
TheOnePheeph ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 11:09:33 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Haha I'm a big fan of south park and remember this episode. My previous comments may have made it seem like I spent a lot of money on mobile games. While I do find this aspect fun, I don't actually spend much on them (maybe $50 total for a particularly addictive gamel). I meant it as sort of a joke, because I imagine a billionaire would be able to buy these in app purchases without a care in the world, and I know they can be quite addictive. Sorry about any controversy I may have caused.

Because most casuals don't understand that $100 doesn't really get you all that much in most games these days, and really I've spent like 1000x that to be able to dominate. The other hardcore spenders that are in the know are all reporting me for cheating, and I'm on a first-name basis with most of their customer service department and probably at least one dev so that I can always get my account restored quickly.

The name itself could be argued to be creatively significant. The name invokes the image of the robot character which is a trademark. It is also intentionally named after the character itself. Since you can't really argue intent, I'd imagine they'd err on the side of caution and just veto the name.

I used to say that if I was crazy rich I would buy a really good race horse and name it Glue if We Lose... then I moved to Saratoga and was told by a few owners that wouldn't pass the standards. I could just imagine Glue if We Lose fading on the back stretch at Belmont in his run at the triple crown. The whole crowd excited for their horse, but also said at the fate of beautiful Glue.

Theres more than one meaning to majority.

Interesting. I've created a large online poll for this and opinion is completely split on the definition of the word "majority".
My argument would be:
Barnet FC played 30 games last season. They won 14 of them drew 12 and lost 4. Did they win the majority of their games?
Seeing as they did not win, more than they won, how can you say they won the majority of their games?
Orrr: Heart disease is the number 1 killer in the US, responsible for 23.4% of all deaths. Would you call that a majority?

A house, re-purposed from it's original use- maybe a barn? Keep the regular red paintjob to it and all. Put in a loft bedroom with built-in furniture and room for posters and maps and art. Right under my room would be a massive kitchen with a double oven, a gas stove, counter space galore (blue granite), a rolling island in the middle of it with a rack for all my pans hanging from the ceiling above its 'usual' space. There would be a huge fridge and a working dishwasher (one that wouldn't break in the first three months of use, actually cleans the food off the dishes), and a pantry, in addition to the cabinets that are everywhere.
It would have a breakfast bar between the living room and kitchen on the left, seating enough for 6 people, and on the right, a black granite bar, fully stocked. Further to the left, I'd have an actual breakfast nook, settled right up between some bookshelves in front of a window, and a bit farther down from that, a fireplace (mantle and all) with a plush rug in front of it and the comfiest couches and recliners (2) that I could find.
The right side with the bar would have dimmer lighting compared to the left (bright, open and airy), a pool table and dartboard with enough space between them that no one's going to get in another person's way while they play. There'll be at least one or two tables nestled against the wall here too, 3 chairs per table with dark green upholstery, soft like memory foam (but doesn't keep the butt print when you stand up).
And once I have all that...get myself some pro cooking lessons so I can put the kitchen through its paces and practice making drinks for my friends at my personal bar.

Can I make you my second extravagant purchase after I wake up and have become a billionaire (it's okay, I'll be a billionaire. They can own people still).
I plan to buy a large apartment complex sized building and/or land and turn it into housing for all my friends and fighting company mates (Black Company of Amtgard. A local LARP).
They would love to have a pro bartender to make drinks and don't worry, they can mix their own drinks if ya feel like doing anything else honestly.
(Obviously you would get your house made to your specs here, though the bar and kitchen area would be duplicated in the main communal area)

Apartment buildings would be my second purchase, actually, keep them as housing for other people, try to make them decent, maybe with some community gardens on the rooftop/in the common areas?
I'm no pro bartender, but I'm p sure I'd get there pretty quickly!
Counter offer to the bar itself being replicated in the communal area (or in addition to): a tavern across the street where Black Company can meet and other larpers can visit while still in gear (though, weapons are obviously checked at the door) to continue the larp, even without the fighting

Say, send me a billion, I'll hire someone to do up the house, and then you can tell me about other, more lavish things I can do in the meantime :P

Adomania ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 14:24:30 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
As it's no longer 3 in the morning, I can very easily see your point- the potential for fire (esp if I want a gas stove) is high...Rotate the loft to be over the right side bar area, the lower ceiling will help with the dimmer light situation that I want over there.
And maybe add a balcony/catwalk thing that goes around the entire perimeter of the place, for more reading nooks and high vantage points

Adomania ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 17:53:12 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yes to all except the water tower (heights and I don't get along very well). The silos and rice dryers have a variety of shapes for some cool options (instead of just the grain silo cylinders, bc those would feel too closed in to me, and finding furniture to fit in the curves of the building might be awk).
The cargo containers would be fun, you could make them into module living, each one with its own distinct use with...I'd say two or three in the center as a living room/meeting space, and then the rest radiating outward around the center like spokes on a wheel. Doublestack some of them to get that loft area anyways, and if you do it right you can make yourself a little outdoor balcony area too!
And- a small church with those stained glass windows, spread out through the entire place? It'd be gorgeous

There's a ton of reasons you don't want to re-purpose an old barn. Aside from the smell and the rats/bats/etc, you'd essentially have to completely rebuild the entire structure to get it to be a solid, livable structure. Putting a foundation alone that would pass code as a livable structure would basically mean dismantling the barn itself.
Adomania ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 14:17:31 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Fair points! The barn was the first thought that came to mind. Even so, I could put down the foundation and tear down a barn to use as a facade/outside face of it and get some reclaimed wood to 'rebuild' the inside structure.

To each their own, right? :) I've done the traditional 3 bedroom (with a detached garage), and I don't hate it, but I feel like the openness of the converted barn would be something really nice. And, I don't usually decorate all that much, so I'd probably be fine with the majority of the personalization of the house being the structure itself.
(Worst case scenario: I'm still a billionaire, so I buy a different house to live in and rent out the barn to tourists :P)

Despite what the church tells you, marriage is a civil commitment and not religious. Your marriage's validity and worth isn't any less because of your level of involvement in the church. It's also why we go to city hall to get our marriage licenses, and to court to get divorces.

Incorrect. It's both, provided you are religious. Or, depending on the religion, it's only religious. Except if you live in a state with common law marriage, in which case it's both again. Unless it's polygamous, which is still kind of illegal except that the Supreme Court technically made polygamy constitutionally protected with the stupid way they allowed gay marriage.
In any case, modern civil marriages evolved from religious marriages. No religious text requires civil approval for their religions marriage except Islam, and then only if the country is put under Sharia law.
What many religious people don't realize is that saying that civil approval is required for a religious marriage is actually blasphemous. They're literally saying that their god requires the approval of a human government before he/she/it can approve it.
Which is why I point out the difference. I find the vehement defense of blasphemy by the devoutly religious to be exceedingly humorous. As much as I dislike Islam, Sharia law actually makes the religion and the government the same thing. This effectively eliminates the entire issue of blasphemy while still allowing fantastic amounts of oppression. It's shitty, but ingenious.

Well, really it's a problem because you should be romantically attracted to your own spouse not just because she wants children. Marriage doesn't necessarily imply children, but should imply romantic love. I hope you can tell her how you really feel. You both deserve to be happy, even if its not with each other. Best of luck to you.

Definitely not a lawyer but I've certainly read that companies (like Walmart for instance) can't just swoop sustaining losses by selling well under the market value to put people out of business. It's anti-competitive and falls under Antitrust laws.

No, they profit on their sales still. But their profits from merchandise are negligible. They make a lot of money from stocking fees from the companies who want their stuff sold in their stores.
Mom and Pop Shop sells a widget for $2.50 and profit $0.50.
Walmart sells a widget for $2.01 and profits $0.01 but charges Widget Inc. $0.49 to carry their product.
Also, instead of selling 1 widget they sell thousands.

Not quite legal, but you can definitely put things at the same price but offer way better quality. That way, youโre technically not undercutting the competition, youโre just doing things better. Excessively good customer service, like asking if they would like water, tea, coffee, if youโre a retailer, or free refills, if youโre food based, would seriously help. Having free Lyft rides as a perk also works! Thereโs a late night eatery that has a partnership with lyft or uber where they will put ten dollars credit towards your ride home if you have a drink there. They want to keep drunk drivers off the road and itโs works amazingly for them.

I quit my shitty job at Denny's in a similar fashion:
I had two horrible managers, so I went down to my local sex shop and bought a prostate stimulating dildo and two bags of gummy penises. Wrapped them up in gift wrap and got cards in labeled envelopes, it looked like a really nice gesture.
For the dildo, the card read: "(Name redacted): this might feel a little better than the stick you've got shoved up there now. I quit."
For the gummies: "(Name redacted): I think I speak for everyone, not just myself, when I say 'go eat a bag of dicks', so here's two. I quit."
Left them politely on the front counter with a third manager who had just started and walked out with a smile.

Start a company. Just an LLC. Cost you about 300. Get a membership to restaurant Depot, free. Go to counter, ask for saffron. I think it's 20 bucks for some ridiculous amount. Ounce? I haven't bought in like 3 years and I split it with my dad. Or just ask, I'll take you with me.next visit. No problem.

7zip has better compression and is open source/libre software. Whereas WinRAR is proprietary and requires a license to compress (Not to the end-user, but if you want to support .rar compression in your software).
Nothing infuriates me more than downloading a *.rar file that was compressed with non-vanilla options that requires me to install a worse compression library (or w/e).
WinRAR and the .rar format is something that should die already IMO, there are better alternatives around by now, but since everyone knows winrar they tend to stick to it regardless of better alternatives.

If you have to make tea with teabags, you, sir, are a rapscallion. You English claim to rule to waves, but we Turks outclass you at every turn when it comes to tea making. Be it the quality of the leaves, the way it's done, consumption per capita and of course not adding milk. Turkish people are simply the superior tea drinkers.

Now, I agree with your first point; no chocy biccies allowed in tea, but now ginger snaps?! You can't have those for the exact same reasons! Ugh. The ginger gets all through the tea, and it tastes awful, then the lovely ginger snap gets all soggy, and doesn't have the gingery kick anymore...
And you were calling others degenerates.

Well sorry for thinking ginger is the best flavour, but its just a quick dip in and out so the tea gets a nice ginger kick and the biscuit doesn't get soggy.

Actually I'd say they are quite the opposite, for you see if you dip a chocolate hob-nob in tea, the chocolate melts off into the tea, whereas a custard cream holds the filling inside the two biscuits making sure you get all of the biscuit inside your mouth.

There's a very light type of tea not sold for export in China (maybe sold at duty-free shops, though) that is ridiculously expensive and has the effect of making regular water taste sweet after sipping. Is it worth the money? Probably not. But with billions, who cares?

Dent7777 ยท 18 points ยท Posted at 14:46:17 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
They cut the connection between the place where sperm is created and the urethra. You can still ejaculate, but no sperm makes it to the urethra. Your balls still produce sperm and testicles, and the process is reversible most of the time.
TheCoelacanth ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 15:50:05 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
It's reversible some of the time. If you change your mind about having kids after getting one, you might still be able to, but you shouldn't rely on that possibility when deciding to get one because there is a significant chance you won't be able to get it successfully reversed.
Dent7777 ยท 12 points ยท Posted at 15:53:16 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Even if reversal fails, you can still harvest the sperm iirc. Makes having kids much harder and more expensive, but having kids is hard and expensive anyway.

Might also be worth pointing out this was 15 years ago, and advancements have probably been made to make it less risky. (On that note, I'm not even sure how risky it was then - that just happens to be the only case of a reversal that I personally knew.)

How so? We'd be traveling together, camped at the same sites together. Doing all the tourism activities together and hiking, kayaking, biking. Even generally camping/rving with friends I tend to eat together, play cards/board games together, have campfires together. Pretty much every second except for sleeping and showering is spent together when I go camping with friends.

CX316 ยท 10 points ยท Posted at 12:32:06 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, the cards at this point would be about 20 years old, so I imagine best way to store them would be triple sleeved in toploaders in a dark place. If the room they're in has high humidity? the cards will warp. Is it sunny? the ink will fade.
And if they're shinies? you're fucked unless you have weight on them holding them flat because late 90's early 2000's foil cards by WOTC (publisher of MTG and the early Pokemon games) have an issue where humidity changes will cause the card to expand, but the foil sticker on the front doesn't expand so the entire card curls up over time.
Redarmy1917 ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 16:21:00 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The problem is actually worse these days. Even non-foils will warp after like 3 months if they're just lying out in the open.
BattlestarFaptastula ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 12:31:42 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Sun damage or light damage causing fading, basically. I don't personally care too much about my cards, but if they're actually expensive and may be being sold on some people do care. A lot.
Emperorerror ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:51:11 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
That's fair, I hadn't thought about that. But I mean, if the Mona Lisa can be in a room with lights, so can the cards.
But I suppose you probably also want natural light in your room (which I'm assuming is worse for the cards?) in which case I see the logic. Just get near mint first edition I guess, lol.
EDIT: FYI to future readers, it turns out the real Mona Lisa is displayed, dunno where the other guy got his info
BattlestarFaptastula ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 19:42:32 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Yeah, it's natural light that's the problem largely. Having them displayed in a dark room would evidently do nothing unless there was damp in the room or something. Strong lights can cause a difference, but honestly we haven't had them long enough to properly study it (which only proves the damage from unnatural light is pretty much unnoticeable). Don't know what the guy talking about the Mona Lisa is saying!

CX316 ยท 9 points ยท Posted at 12:35:24 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nah, you go Beta. Alpha cards were misscut due to worn out dies being used and the cards can't be played with unsleeved, so unless the rarity issue has flipped things in recent years since I stopped paying attention, Beta cards are generally worth more than their Alpha versions.
(EDIT: Ok, looking it up on SCG apparently nowadays the Alpha of black lotus is worth about 1/3rd more than the Beta)

well, I played Vintage back when the question of whether or not you could play with your Black Lotus with non-opaque sleeves or not was enough to alter the price of the card... also back when they were like $2000 rather than $20000
StickyPuddleofGoo ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 14:32:17 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You're almost right- they didn't miscut them, the corners just started more round in Alpha and they tightened them up in beta. Some beta cards are worth more because you can't play alpha cards in tournaments, sleeved or not- things like power9 are more valuable in Alpha, but some cards that are heavily tournament played are more valuable in beta
CX316 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 15:32:45 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The rounded corners was because they used old cutting dies like I said. I suppose misscut was a poor choice of words considering it was intentional, but the issue was them changing the dies between Alpha and Beta and the Beta ones being the same shaped dies they then used for the next like 25 years, so it's the shape of the Alpha ones that made it so (at least back when I played vintage) they had to be in opaque-backed sleeves for tournament play. The only ones that (at least then) couldn't be played at all were the ones with the square cut corners because those were "Collector's Edition" copies and aren't technically real cards.
mama_tom ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:32:56 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
So you can't play alpha cards in tournaments because of their value? That seems really stupid, or am I reading this wrong?
StickyPuddleofGoo ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 18:42:20 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, value doesn't effect playability. I was suggesting that you can't play them because they have a different corner rounding that could be felt through the sleeve. Higher level MTG tournaments are pretty strict about "marked cards," scuffed sleeves, or any other physical deformity in your deck that could help you cheat and find certain cards through touch (even if your sleeves are too dirty they will make you re-sleeve your deck). Because Alpha cards have a 'rounder' corner you can feel the difference in how sleeves bend, even while shuffling. Worst case scenario is a cheater uses 55 non-Alpha cards in their deck and 5 Alpha cards key to their strategy, they would be able to feel where the Alpha cards were in the deck while shuffling and manipulate their position.
BUT apparently I heard misinformation. While this is all true (I worked at a shop for a while and tested this with alpha cards) apparently Alpha cards are legal for use in tournaments. So there ya go.
mama_tom ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 19:10:07 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well idk if you could do this, but another option would be to have them graded, put into those giant ass cases, and use proxys for the cards in the actual deck, but you have the cards. Like I said, idk if you can do that in high lvl tourneys though.

Try Stratford, Ontario. Small city of around 35,000 people but literally every other store front in the downtown is an incredible restaurant. Plus, we have a world class theatre company so there is a ton of things to do. To top it off, there is cheap public transit so you can get hammered and make it home cheap.

Due to reasons I used to be able to go to Stratford in season and get taken out for dinner just every night Friday-Monday. Food has been ruined for me. The amount of amazing shit I've been able to try at those restaurants is unreal. I recommend.
Edit: reasons =/= prostitution. I actually knew someone who kinda did exactly this - was very wealthy and wanted to live surrounded by culture and good food but didn't want to have to put up with city life.

There are a TON of low key really famous people who live here. Both Peter Mansbridge and Lloyd Robertson (Canada's two most famous news anchors) live here, Christopher Plummer has a house here, I've seen Liam Nelson downtown, it isn't uncommon to see William Shatner here, Justin Bieber has a house here, etc.
Honestly, the food is the worst thing about living here. Not that it is terrible but that there is so much great food you go broke trying to eat it all. Stratford is a straight up great place to live and housing is pretty cheap still.

I was going to say something like this. But I don't think I'd want to limit myself to two bedrooms or a single floor. I'd say I'd buy the first two floors (and first basement) of a manhattan skyscraper, completely re-done as my living space. A huge amount of space for an individual, so I'd have room for a major workshop and garage, while being able to step out of the front door and walk to pretty much anything.
Extravagant and lavish unlike most of the ideas in this thread (student loans? cmon that's not lavish by any stretch of the word)
Maybe the top floor too just for the views.

My dream is to buy a plot of open land and dig a deep enough hole that I can put a 3 story doomsday house in there. Very bottom floor would be a furnace/ laundry room, it would have 3 powerful back up generators in case of disaster. In the middle of the bottom floor would be a giant fridge that is self cooled mostly by the earth, second floor would be the living area and top floor would hold at least 8 of my dream cars. The house that I have designed would be earthquake proof, fire proof and flood proof. Iโd cover it with dirt and place a facade house on top and work it into a super air filter. Around the property would be solar power and windmills to generate electricity. And on top of it all the highest quality security system I can get my hands on
(I just woke up to this holy shit I didnโt think this would get so many upvotes thank you!)

You can't have your username in your password. You password can't match an old password. The password you chose won't work, passwords cannot start with a capital "v". We don't know why.

Unfortunately the earth has a fairly stable temperature after a certain depth that is not nearly cold enough for refrigeration. In the US for example itโs usually 45-50 in northern states and can get up to 70 as you head south after only 5 feet down. Fridges should always be below 40, typically around 35.
Edit: for the couple of replies about geothermal, I know what that is. Thatโs why I know that you canโt have a self cooled fridge set up underground. It works for space conditioning. But thatโs because of the temperature range that it is in. It does not work for refrigeration. If anything it is worse as youโd be heating whatever it is youโre using for the conditioning higher than what itโs going to be when it leaves to be cooled back down. Itโs great more people are learning what geothermal heating/cooling is but itโs not an end all be all for changing air temperatures it whatever we want them to be, weโre still restrained by the temperature the earth provides and you need to change the temperature yourself if you want it different than the earthโs.

He could set up a walk-in cooler/freezer with a water cooled condensing unit and put it on a ground loop. That would be the most energy efficient way. The same ground loop could be used for conditioning the rest of the bunker. It would eliminate the need for gas flues and reduce the amount of solar/wind he needs to get off the grid too.
Add a couple whole house batteries and he would be set.

They already have groundfridges designed. Sure, you couldn't leave your leftovers in it, but your veggies, bread, cheese, and wine would be preserved.

Yes, these exist, but you will have the same problems Iโve already said. The article states that it will keep things about 10-12 degrees Celsius, or 50-54 degrees Fahrenheit. The only things you can store in there are things that do not actually need refrigeration. Cheeses, wines, veggies, they donโt need to be refrigerated, they just last longer/taste better if they are. You wouldnโt be able to keep things like meats, eggs, some dairies, etc. in there, which is very impractical unless youโre vegetarian/vegan. And these temperatures are only constant for that location. If you live further north, you can get a little colder, but not much. Head towards the equator and these arenโt even practical because below ground isnโt going to be much different than youโd want your house to be kept anyway.

If he wanted to, can't he use geothermal to generate electricity on a very large area, and use that energy to refrigerate a smaller area?
dvaunr ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 23:48:52 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
In theory, yes, but only in select places or if you dog really deep. In order to generate the electricity, you need steam, which means temperatures over 212F or 100C. Then you could create electricity but I am unsure if doing this just for cooling is enough to really see any benefit compared to just hooking into the power grid.

Buzzword? Check. Even a massive bore field would only be suitable for space conditioning, unless you pumped ammonia or something, but it would have to then be a closed loop with a chiller inside....... Regardless, regular electric fridge would be easier and use less power.
HellscreamGB ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 12:18:34 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Actually you could pump water and use a heat pump to refrigerate a space. Obviously the number of bores/depth(length if going horizontal) of bores would have to be sized based on the load of the "building" Considering it is completely underground the space cooling load would be tiny. Also the load on the fridge would depend on how well it is insulated. There would be a huge load when it was first turned on to get all the contents to a cool condition but after that the cooling load would be very small.
Source: I do HVAC-r design work for a living
TL:DR You totally could cool a fridge with geothermal water cooled heat pumps.

Yes, but geothermal power requires a hydrothermal source which usually comes with geological hazards. Geothermal heating is an entirely different process that just uses the normal constant temperature of the shallow subsurface. I'm totally pro-geothermal energy, I just wouldn't want to spend millions of dollars building a bug-out bunker on top of an underground hot spring :)

My dream home is a pole barn, with three story basement. Bottom is laundry and storage, second is bedrooms, first is living, dining, and kitchen. The pole barn is the work area/garage. On the pole barn would be security cameras which broadcast to LCD monitors throughout the sub levels to serve as windows. Plus, an RV. It would have an electric fence for the pets and fiber internet.
I would have solar panels powering the home, and the bottom floor would be the largest, with a pantry, music studio, laundry room, play room for the kids, work bench specifically for computer work, server room, and storage room.
Life will then be complete.

I'm by far not afraid enough of a doomsday that I would willingly forgo the chance to have sunlight in my house, or to just crack a window open when I feel like it. Also, if the apocalypse happens, going with the rest of humanity may not be such a bad choice. Life would probably get pretty boring pretty quickly without much social interaction in that bunker you built yourself.

Being in proximity to UHNWI's, I can tell you that this is not an unrealistic extravagance, but a very common precaution, a basic hedge. At some point, you weigh the relative cost to you (very low) and the likelihood of society collapsing (low but growing) and you buy an island or plot of land somewhere, build a bunker, stock it with food, and install generators and some form of renewable. Also, sometimes when you are actively doing the manipulating, say to markets and society, you can most clearly see the damage being done and the unsustainability of things.
gamblingman2 ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 12:03:32 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
This is easier and not as expensive as most people think it is.
Geothermal is very possible. You'd have a loop that cools a condenser. We do this for some clients. It's expensive but doesn't require millions of dollars.
Not super cheap, but definitely possible. The flood prevention is the hardest and most expensive. Earthquake measures are used in a lot of cities. Fire walls/firestopping measures are used in pretty much every building in the US.
This is a outside air prefilter unit. They're a little expensive, but not outside the range of affordability of you need it.
Are you living under a rock? These can be very affordable depending on the size system you want.
How much do you want to spend? I'd recommend making friends with someone who does installs! These are a constant source of problems, the larger they are the more problems you'll have.

Typical city defense incoming:
Having lived in St. Louis for a large part of my life, the violence data is skewed pretty heavily because of how the city limits are defined. St. Louis proper is only about 60 sq miles, much smaller than many other cities in a metro area of the same size. Problem is that all of the "bad parts" exist within St. Louis proper and most of the nicer areas are just outside the city limits and organized into individual municipalities within St. Louis County. If you take a look at this picture of the metro area, the red line represents the city limits. The north side of the city is where a huge portion of the poverty and crime exist and that's all encompassed in this map. Right on the west side of forest park is the west boundary of the city and that just so happens where a huge portion of the affluent, low-crime areas of the city begin. For example, right on that boundary is Clayton, MO. Median household income of $87k, nearly $50k more than the city of St. Louis. Go further west and it's more affluent; And it's important to note that these aren't like suburbs. If you were driving around and weren't familiar with the city, you wouldn't even know that you left StL and were driving through other towns. It's essentially still St. Louis but all of that gets left out of St. Louis crime data.
It certainly is a city with violent and unsafe areas, but the raw data doesn't tell the whole story about the city overall.

ftfy. Even leaving aside generically defending my home city, it IS actually legally a different city and so has its own budgets, policies, etc, not to mention being across state lines with its own differences in such things. I'm not saying that if it were annexed by Best St Louis life would improve, we do admittedly have Ferguson, but it could hardly get WORSE!

Go home, open a Pizzeria, buy all the right equipment, wood burning pizza oven, etc, all the best cheeses, the freshest tomatoes, best herbs, greatest toppings. Cook Pizza's to perfection. Charge a nickel per slice because you're not doing this to make money, you're doing it for the love of Pizza.
I'd say a few hundred grand would be spent pretty easily.

1 large pizza = 20 USD.
2 large pizzas = 40 USD
2 large pizzas a day for a year โ 8000usd
2 large pizzas a day for a life time โ 500000usd
You don't even need truffle plated gold sauce.

I'd buy the Domino's Pizza closest to me, pay the employees livable wages and provide them with health insurance, and have them deliver pizza to me daily.
I swear they fucking lace that pizza with crack. I'm addicted.
But I'd pay off my student loans first, and get health insurance. Get myself a reliable car, too. Then I would hope I'd have enough money left over for my pizza dream.

I would make damn sure not to buy a single thing that costs 1.99 or 2.99 or whatever else that isn't 99 Cents (or less).
Then I would gather all that extra shit I didn't buy, and I'd pile it all in the middle of the store, draw a giant circle around it and write all over the place with arrows pointing to the pile "I'm 99 Cents Only Stores, and I am a god damned liar."
Then I'd just burn everything I did buy, out in the parking lot, because why the fuck did I need all that stuff to begin with?

But holy fuck was Pluto Nash bad. And I LIKE bad movies a lot. I loved ThanksKilling. The RetarDEAD. I even made it through Trolls 2.

Exactly. My friend knows a stuntman that worked for 10 years in Hollywood, in a party that stuntman explained to me how much shady shit goes down. A bilionaire could get bang like 90% of Hollywood.
He mentioned movie The Dictator (2012) and scene where the main guy pays celebrities for sex isn't far from truth at all.
Only the A+ celebs who have "fuck you money" can afford to say no to rich people who are on top of Hollywood. Rest are basically their slaves. A+ celebs are actors who get top of Box Office regularly (main roles only) like Leo Di Caprio, J Lawrence, recently The Rock and people like that.
Also people overestimate how much people in Hollywood make. Yes most of actors are rich, but it is up to 10 million and that's it. And quality != money.
Biggest earners are blockbuster and Box Office action movies or Superhero movies. Main roles in those movies get crazy money, but dramas, comedies and other things earn way less than people think they do.

They actually do exist. These aren't exactly the type who are desperate for cash or does it to support a child or their addictive habits. Some of the high class escorts that I've booked for an executive in a company are actually employees of a subsidiary or an affiliate company. They're not necessarily "pimped out" and more of a freelancer who works with an agent who offers protection and provides wire transfers to maintain anonymity of any transaction that took place.
I'm probably already saying too much, but the booking process is really simple. You go to a website and you sign in with a unique 10 character code that you receive from a broker that expires in 6 hours. The next page you land on is a calendar and you choose the date for the rendezvous. After choosing the date, you'll land on another page that shows the profiles of available freelancers for that date. The profiles include a naked full body shot with informations like race, ethnicity, nationality, age, companies affiliated with, the most recent STD screening and blood work, etc. After you select the girl/guy of your choosing, you'd be sent to a payment processing page where you have to enter the routing number and the bank account number with an in-page numpad or a bitcoin transfer (which I haven't done yet since the executives I've booked for doesn't believe bitcoin would catch on). There's a 6 hour waiting period and once the payment is confirmed, you're going to receive a phone call from the freelancer to confirm she receives the payment and to arrange the venue of the rendezvous.
Most of the time the freelancer is already at the venue along with three people working as security (2 outside at the door and 1 to the nearest exit). This is usually an overnight affair or a whole weekend as the case for the last one I booked this summer.
Edit: I forgot to mention that when you meet up with the freelancer, they'll hand you a signed NDA and consent form which I also sign as a witness and guarantor that the interaction was indeed consensual and no monetary compensation between the freelancer and my client were extended in exchange of what will take place.

That sounds complicated, in the UK you can just visit adultwork and phone/book an appointment that way. It has a review system so many girls won't see you without decent feedback from others.
Although those are mostly not the higher class escorts.

Clients are pretty much paying for discretion, security, and the company of the finest human specimen the world could offer. What they're paying for is the time with the freelancer. What they do in their allotted time is none of my business.

It really depends on how much the freelancer is charging + the commission for the agent.
Cheapest one I booked was 7.5k USD that lasted overnight. It was for a male CTO of a certain Taiwanese tech company.
The weekend(Thursday to Sunday) getaway that I booked last summer was 60k USD which was split between 2 men. The client was a female VP of a certain textile company.

[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 01:53:37 on November 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
out of the 17 I've booked so far this year, 3 were women and the rest were men. 4 out of 14 guys asked for male freelancers. 5 Out of the 10 guys who asked for female freelancers asked for 2 or more.
Male freelancers tend to be more pricier than female freelancers because female freelancers outnumbers male freelancers by around 4:1

How many billions are we talking?
I would love a small apartment/home built over a dance studio. I would have it built in my city, and have open hours where people could rehearse for free if they liked. I would only ask that they book the space in advance so I wouldn't have too many people at once. I would only charge for instructors wanting to teach there, so as not to disrupt the studio business in the area.

This may sound cheesy, but I think I would spend a lot of money on my wedding. I would cancel all plans right now, invite all people I want to (and not cut some out because of the budget), and then fly everyone to an amazing Greek island my fiancee and I spend our summer at. We would get married there on the beach and party all night Greek style. After that I would give all the guests a free opportunity to try out diving (our passion) since diving there was absolutely wonderful. I would book a hotel for everyone, stay there for a week and fly them all home again. Just pay for a holiday, party and diving I think. That would be incredible.

My wife and I got married last summer for 2500 dollars. We just threw a bbq, and surprised everyone by getting married in the middle of it. Just tables in a field. iPod for music.
My sister had a traditional wedding and spent ungodly amounts of money. No One had a better there than ours.

My lottery fantasy is to take about thirty of my friends on a Disney Cruise up the inside passage of Alaska and do all the excursions. Sometimes I go online, pick a ship and start assigning rooms.
My friends include eight kids under 12, so I would hire four sitters from Care.com or something. They get to go on this cruise, and all they have to do is be sober for eight hour shifts in case someone wants some kid-free time. Like hang out at the pool or spa or stuff your face with chocolate, but since youโre on duty from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm, since the Smiths want kid-free spa time, theyโve booked you for 3:00-5:00. Pay them extravagantly ($50/hr for 8 hr/day for 7 days is $2800, but surprise 30% tip at the end). And fly everyone out first class.

That gives Amy Schumer money, though.
I'm sure there are far more roundabout ways to fuck her over without giving her money. Like paying every possible venue to not book her, or even better, paying her agent to drop her. Then paying every single agent she tries to replace them with to drop her. Just ridiculous wastes of money, but ultimately successful.

That sounds like tons of fun. That also sounds like the start of a cool Christmas tradition, if the boys really get into the game. Currently we do Christmas nerf battles. We get sooo into it.

If you're in the US, this means very little with your cheap ass gas. If you're in the UK, you have my respect. premium is about $7.43 a gallon in the UK at the moment, if I've done the maths correctly.
TastyTopher ยท 7 points ยท Posted at 12:37:00 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I did a 6 month test on my commute. Premium vs Regular. I found that I got 3.4 more MPG with premium, 3.4 x 12 gallons is an extra 40.8 miles. Premium is usually $0.20/gallon more around here so I spent an extra $2.40/tank, but gained 40 miles. Premium gas is roughly $2.90 here and my car gets ~25 MPG, so I was saving money by buying premium.
MEatRHIT ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 13:38:19 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Most cars that isn't true, and around here the difference between regular and premium has been creeping up on a full 1.00. My car is fairly high compression and a turbo so I have to use premium

UMLaw ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 13:34:51 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
How much does a steak cost where you are? Say someone gave you the price of a home-made steak, would you be able to spend the money on that?
YukiIjuin ยท 8 points ยท Posted at 13:55:39 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well... Yeah. To make a fairly good home cooked steak where I'm at it would cost about 12-15USD, eating out at a place like Chilli's it'd be 20-50USD. My salary itself is about 900USD but in Malaysia it's really not that bad.
I'm not living uncomfortably but there's things that are more pressing than a steak at the moment (although an 18 months moment). Like my student loans that are currently preventing me from travelling.

If you're rich enough you wouldn't have to put up with the BS that colleges put you through. Want to be an investing pro? Hire a pro investor to teach/tutor you. Want to improve at writing? Pick your author and offer a big enough paycheck for them to teach, review, and edit your work. Want to know how to plan and execute business projects? There's lots of those in the world, and you could afford to bring one onto the payroll to teach while they handled the stuff you want to learn it for in the meantime. That's a much more efficient way to get good at something than going to college.

So it's going to take me six years to graduate with a four year degree but I graduate this May with and engineering degree and zero debt. It was tough and I didn't think I'd make it but if I can do it, then you 100% can do it too. Don't give up! :) Also, totally worth my time, blood, sweat, tears and sacrifices. As an intern I was making 22.50 an hour and I saved enough to pay tuition for an entire year. Once you're a year in, you start to see a pretty steep ROI.

i work at a Mercedes dealership and I absolutely hate the fact that we get so many cars in that are in near perfect condition, and have next to no miles on them. We have a customer who brings his cars in for service. He has an older (circa 90) SL and it only has 3k miles on it. He is the original owner and bought it brand new. Granted he has like 30 cars total, but still. Drive the cars. With having 30+ cars you could literally pick one for each day of the month and still rack up more miles than what he does.

I would also release a shit ton of platypuses in the Everglades.
Next release a lot of African crocodiles and Cayman in the Everglades
Lastly I'd release a huge amount of Capybara in the Everglades.
After that debacle in the Everglades I'd next kidnap elon musk and some other genius Chinese genetic scientists with low morals.
Now with my scientists and elon musk I'll have them perform experimental genetics on human and animal DNA, the Island of Dr Moreau style.

First, I'd hire a master investment manager to ensure my money is increasing. I'd buy up a block of flats, maybe two. I'd do them up and then let them out at below market rates to struggling families in an effort to combat social cleansing.
I'd invest in social and community projects, community centers, libraries, education centers etc, to try and improve my local areas.
I'd set up some science institutes, dedicated to combating climate change and inventing the means for interstellar travel and offworld colonization.
I'd invest in aid projects overseas, not charity work, but actual development of impoverished areas.
And when finally I die, with an empire worth billions, a legacy of philanthropy, generosity and discovery, a statue will be erected in my honor, and our countless offworld colonies will remember my name forever, even as the encroaching darkness of the Outer Gods infects their worlds, consumes their minds and makes slaves of their children.

I already have a plan in place in case this happens one day (hey, let me fantasise, okay?)
1) I'd probably be unable to comprehend this amazing thing has happened to me and be convinced it's a dream.
B) Once I have accepted this is reality, I'd give my mum, dad and both brothers a good amount of money to help them out and repay them for all the hard times I've been through and they helped me with as well as the hard times for them that I ultimately caused. I am a pain. In fact, I'd probably go all out a pay for a huge fancy dinner for the whole family and use it to break the news.
C) I'd buy two of my best friends, and myself, a car. A brand new Ford RS. We'd each have a different colour (I get blue because it's my favourite colour and fuck you guys I'm buying you a car you'll take whatever colour you get.) and then we'd do a grand road trip (Like Top Gears road trips) across America....and other road trips in the future. I'd also help pay for my other friends medical troubles with her heart and help her get whatever she needs to live a promising and fulfilling life again. I'd also probably just give out money to a few other friends, just as a way of thank you for putting up with me.
4...or D) I'd disappear for a few months and go and stay at some fitness camp and work to try and get into shape, learn to eat right, discipline myself and try to actually love myself and see my potential.
5) Once I am in shape and confident with how I look physically, it's time for a new wardrobe. Personally, I'd buy a ton of clothes of all kinds from Magnoli Clothiers. They are expensive but quality clothing and specialise in making good looking and screen accurate replicas of pieces used in movies and t.v. I'm a geek and have always dreamed of having the Tenth Doctors suit and Coat from Doctor Who (Already have 7 of his ties) so that'd be my first purchase. And then I'd just buy almost every other Doctor Who related piece, A Sherlock Coat, Rick Grimes Jacket, Some of James Bonds suits/clothing and even some of Wolverines clothing.
6) After that I'd probably buy my own private jet. Nothing too big or fancy. Just something to get me around the World comfortably because that's what I really want to do. I want to go everywhere possibly, see famous sights with my own eyes, do crazy and adventurous stuff instead of just reading about it. I'd probably not even contact my family during this stage because I'll just be busy meeting new people, exploring and trying to find my place in the world.
After that though....no real idea...invest or some shit?

Sorry, but you have a billion dollars and you want a Ford hatchback? My focus is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I would say, if you stick with Ford, buy everyone Ford GT's, or perhaps mustang GT-350's.
Even better would be a Dodge demon. Tons of power and room for snacks and passengers.
Although my personal choice would be an Aston Martin db-11. I would say vulkan but its not street legal.
Might also go for a Tesla model S p100d. Fast and comfortable.
A la Ferrari would be nice too.
Wouldn't want anything too crazy like a McLaren or lambo. If it's cross country, you should at least be comfortable.

I'd invest 100 million so I could live on the returns for the rest of my life and still leave a categorically batshit amount of money to my progeny, invest 500 million and redirect those returns to small, local nonprofits that benefit underserved populations like LGBT youths, homeless people, drug addicts, and/or people with mental illness in rural areas (etc).

I would pay for the corrective surgery on my colon. Its experimental, and super expensive.
but if it worked i could eat red meat on a regular basis, and wouldnt have to take those vile, sickening iron pills anymore.
I suffer from chronic low blood iron AND i was born with a genetic condition that causes an underdeveloped colon, so i suffer from chronic constipation, and as a result cant eat a lot of red meat (iron rich) or other foods that result in 'excess waste material'. Seriously sucks. Other people can eat a steak twice a day without issue, me? if i eat steak twice in a week i risk a trip to the ER.

It would be so satisfying to watch him try to keep up with a secret billionaire.

I'd also feel bad about ruining a possible restoration car, because this is going to be a restomod to the max. I figure about $150k will give me the car I want, and I probably wouldn't feel bad about spending that much on something unnecessary if I had a billion : )

I'm of the same mind but I would do it to my daily driver, My 95 jeep cherokee. Have it stripped down to the frame, sand blasted frame reinforcement, repainted in the same factory color. Supercharged LS3 swap (its already on its third engine anyways) full suspension and drive train overhaul. I wouldn't lift it any higher than it already is (just a 3"). Redo the full electrical, and interior. New sound system with , maybe pull the back seats entirely and install easily removable bucket seats so if the lady and I go trail camping we can just yank the seats and put blankets in the back. New CB and antenna, new roof rack, old school halogen off road lights the works.

I'd do a similar ridiculous swap. I would probably drop a 2UR-GSE (Toyota/Lexus 5.0L 416-471 HP V8) out of a crashed IS F/GS F/RC F/LC 500 into a 90s SC 300/400 and figure out how to mate it to a manual transmission.
If I was able to, I'd try to drop a 1LR-GUE V10 out of an LFA, but there are no crashed ones as far as I can tell.
So with a billion I'd probably just by an LFA instead of trying to do a swap.

Okay, so, I'd drop out of my current school and pay off my loans. I'd buy a house in the mountains around the Asheville, NC area, making sure it's got a large parcel of land, about 3 acres would suffice. Immediately start a large reconstruction project, basically making it the dankest house/cabin in the area, complete with a workshop for every blacksmithing project I've ever wanted to plus other ideas. I'd build a the highest quality gaming rig possible, because fuck it. Then I'd finish it off with a fence/wall around the entire property and fill said property with every breed of dog I've ever loved, possibly multiples of my favorite breeds(labradors, malamutes, German shepherds, etc.).

I must be broken. I honestly can't think of anything extravagant that I would want. I think I would help my friends, and myself get out of debt. Then I would invest, buy out a good company. After a few years of solid investment, I would look into helping fund important research. Since I would have no need for work, I could devote the time to choose something and help as much as I could. I have grown up poor my whole life. And for some reason thinking about blowing all that money on myself when so many others would kill for a very small part of that seems evil. Hahaha party pooper over here.

Take a decent vacation then! My first thought on reading the title of this thread was literally something that only costs 1,000 bucks. Then debt. Then how much I'd like to visit hawaii again(honeymoon) and step on lava. Which is something I could do in the next few years anyways. Then hey I'll read this thread to see what crazy shit I COULD want but probably don't. Wanting to get stable and help others out of a hole is NOT a bad way to think. :) not a party pooper sir!

I love travel! That would be a neat idea. I'm a lady person, lol. Honestly, I think I'm just one of those people that can't imagine what copious amounts of money is like. So, I struggle envisioning that. Hmm. Maybe VR so I could learn all the things and play games. :3

XD then travel away!!
What to do with shitloads of money is probably something a lot of people can't imagine. My first list(and probably my second) would STILL only spend .04% of the total sum. Maybe with immediate concerns out of the way considering more expensive ways to spend it would be easier?
Your VR mention reminds me I'd LOVE to know how much would be needed to invent/develop full immersive VR; Sword Art Online style minus the killing. Would probably go over the billion budget for the next part; then find a way to deal with the atrophy that comes with spending too much time there.

A fully mobile, scientifically accurate, robot T-Rex. I would ride him everywhere. See the stunning nature of rural Europe. Go on the great American roadtrip. Smoke weed on a Jamaican beach at sunset and sip vodka with Russian businessmen on a cold, Winters night in central Moscow.
One day Rexxy would tell me he wished he could have lived among his own kind. That he longs to truly know where he comes from. I'll cry. Knowing that I betrayed the course of nature. That I betrayed my own principles and didn't see a friend in need when he was multiple times my size and right in front of me. Whatever happens though, we'll have each other. And a shit ton of money still. Probably.

I would buy a fairly large amount of land somewhere just outside of Las Vegas. Maybe somewhere between Sloan and Primm, and have it built there.
Then I would lobby to host a second US GP. I would have my own personal sports/muscle/super car garage and facilities near the track and race on it with my friends whenever we visit Vegas.
I would also have a shorter track on the secluded ranch that I would buy in Wyoming or Montana.

Probably a really nice house with all the bells and whistles inside for luxuries. Nothing too crazy in terms of size since I'm a single guy and I only have a cat. Still, I'd make it comfortable for both of us, and I'd have a big yard with some nice decorations and gardens, and I'd have a big enclosed area outside for my cat to get some fresh air and relax in. I'd also hire a top personal trainer to get me into shape, since I've always been terrible at keeping on top of that.

Real estate. Nothing expensive. First a second house in the south. Tampa Bay area islands, like my parents and grandparents. Live summers in the north, winters south. Then I would buy inexpensive starter homes for my college graduate kids who still live at home. Wherever they want, but just so my wife can stop having to do all the household chores for 5 adults, and start to enjoy retirement. And pay my oldest daughter and son in law to stop having kids. I like grandkids, but they have 4, 6 yrs and under. She has health issues during pregnancy, plus guess who has to take care of them while they work. Love our family, but would love to take care of them a little less.

First thing I'd do is buy houses or pay off mortgages for my family out to first cousins. So about 40 houses. None of them would be extravagant and mine wouldn't even be the biggest (I have an uncle with an 8 bedroom house). I'd buy a 6 bedroom house. One room for each of my kids, one for me and my girlfriend, and two hobby rooms.
Next I'd give my immediate family $1,000,000 to do whatever they want with and extended family would get $100,000. I'd have the most bitching D&D lair and pay a professional Dungeon Master to run weekly games in my hobby room. I'd also give my parents each $100,000/year salaries just cause they deserve to retire and live comfortably.
I'd probably take about $300,000,000 and invest in it in the US dollar, Swedish Krona, and Canadian Dollar. I'm not sure how much money I'd spend on this, probably a lot, but I'd lobby for medical marijuana for veterans. It's a cause close to my heart because I'm a disabled combat veteran whose life was turned around (in a good way) because of marijuana.
Beyond that I'd probably invest in various veteran owned businesses and start ups who hire predominantly veterans and their families especially non profit organizations that help homeless veterans get back on their feet.

Student loans (mine and 8ish other peoples) paid off. Pay off my all my parents debts. A new set of toolbags for work (like hell im going to quit!).
Some land up here between 2 of the satelite towns a good 2-3 acres. Put a hobit-ish house on it and a nice big ol shop that has ALL the crafting places. We're talking glassblowing, black/white smithing (whitesmithing is like a general tearm for all the precious metals and jewelry stuff). Leatherworking, sewing, carpentry, pottery wheels & kilns and shit. And like a BIG as FUCK 3d printer.
Gaming room having some dammmn nice PCs in it. Internet that wont randomly go out ever (i wish). 2 big dogs.
That ALL might end up running 100-200 mill at most... I gueas i'd just hire my dad to use the rest to make more...(he's into the atock market but doesn't have any capital to really get going in it).

Create a National (USA) chain of STEM/Vocational universities that would offer 1.5% interest 30 year loans. 0.5% of those interest payments would go directly into a scholarship fund for future students who are from low income households. Tuition costs would be based on realistic costs, not inflated superfluous prices we see so much much with most universities. Also, would provide private company sponsorship of students that would act almost like an incubator, where the companies would be permitted to take a percentage of the the students future innovation endeavors.
I know I might get some flack for this, but admission would be contingent based upon US citizenship. Doesn't have to be born here but has to be a legal citizen. Not "Californian legal" but legitimately a citizen.

Black Company & Friends House.
Think an apartment complex, but pretty decently made so the place doesn't suck and with a large bit of land nearby for camping and other LARP activities on. Gonna house each of my friends for free if they wish and we can have a couple floors set aside for communal fun like a gaming room and a study and the like. (Not to mention the Arts & Sciences floor in the basement including a forge if I can, otherwise that forge is outside, sewing machines, and the rest of the tools for crafting.)
Also, personal transport vehicles that don't require a license because I don't like driving one bit and would likely get myself an Auto(bot) ASAP too. Though a Segway will do in a pinch.

Half the day they go snorkeling or waterskiing or water rafting or horseback riding or sailing or even a gun range lol whatever they find exciting in the great outdoors! A plant based meal from (also my investment) the sustainable farm will be provided to to educate on the destruction of our current agricultural system, while providing proof that healthy eating is possible and delicious!

First, become a Kickstarter Cryptid. Start giving maximum donations to any project I'm remotely interested in at all. Tell no one of it, let the news wonder at this mysterious benefactor. Sit upon my hoard of random vaguely cool things like some kind of weird silicon valley dork-dragon.
Alternately, buy a disused underground silo/bunker complex, build a nice five bedroom over the entrance. Something real, real fucking big. Retrofit the interior to make Vault 98. Get something on-site that will allow me to quickly make custom vault suits. Wait patiently while devising ultimately harmless yet hilarious "experiments" and buying sound files of canned sitcom audience laughter from around the globe.

I hope we're not talking ONE billion dollars here... Otherwise I have to basically just buy businesses and let them earn me more.
But if we're talking multi billions, like anything under 999, I'd have a castle built in some beautiful place in the world. With extensive underground bunker section, like raccoon city red hive size or larger, to be used as a self sustaining city for my private town discussed below, in case earth's surface becomes uninhabitable for any reason.
My own race track complete with like 10 Jay Leno sized garages and airport for private aircraft. Obviously a port for private sea vehicles as well, and a private town to house my servants/employees and private army / mercenaries. A private space station and launching platform in cooperation with SpaceX, which I'd probably buy.
After I've taken care of me and mine, I'd start setting up businesses designed specifically to create money to be used on bettering the world. Set up a real version of the illuminati essentially and focus it on ending poverty/hunger and fixing the world's governments. I'd need a think tank consisting of the world's foremost historians to create a government unlike the world has ever seen and to keep us all in check to avoid becoming "evil" lol. A worldwide government to watch over the utopian society I'd fund the creation of. A more perfect U.N. that actually gets shit done essentially. Also, basically everything you see in r/futurology that never gets past the concept stage due to lack of funding would suddenly have funding. The creation of an organization designed to nurture creativity and innovation from unknown people, in combination with the science and engineering portion of one of my companies.
I'm gonna stop now as I'm doing this on my phone and am just stalling going to sleep. Love you all, night.

At my University (in Michigan) sororities can't get a house unless they're all on the same street. So I'd buy 2 neighborhoods right off campus. Give them each a house in each a house on one side of the street while i demolish and rebuild the other side to include a gym and bar as one basement. I'd keep the top looking like authentic late 1800 houses making one a restaurant, another a cafe, and a gaming themed thing that can be used free of charge (but if you break it you buy it and i can ban for life).
I can keep flushing this out but i think this is enough.

There'll be a large communal house with a massive kitchen/dining space and lots of room for gaming consoles, board games and general social activities. I'll also build a couple of large greenhouses for growing our own food (going to hire someone to maintain the farm fulltime) and some barns for chickens and some other animals.
Then I'd fly in my friends from all over the world and we'd all live there. All having our separate living space so that we can have privacy, but having a communal space where we can all eat together and hang out when we want to.
Everyone would be expected to help out during harvest and planting seasons and we'd just live at peace.

She would have a massive greenhouse with a coy pond and exotic plants and trees, in addition to a series of gardens (I would build them myself) that she could use to plant flowers and vegetables and plants. The entire property would have lilacs everywhere. Hundreds upon hundres of purple lilac bushes everywhere. And I'd buy her the red 1967 Corvette Stingray she's always wanted even though she can't drive anymore. She'd have a driver.

I'd probably buy my brothers business outright and spend a week or two introducing new policies like flamboyant and glitter filled work uniforms and the new "corporate way" to speak to customers (like how most costcos/wallmarts places have a standard hello and goodbye that must be said to each customer by the greeter).
I'd make sure to have it in the contract that he would need to work for a set time to stop him from simply leaving the company (so I couldn't fuck with him) and then once I'd have my fun I'd just hand him the business.

I'd create a space video game that is slowed the fuk down. Closer to the game play of a submarine battle. "The red thingy is moving towards the blue thingy... I think we're the blue thingy". No more Pew Pew Pew but more as if a sidewinder is locked on target chasing a fighter. Build shields made of steel or graphene instead of an invisible bubble. Get to build your ship bigger and stronger. Get a job in security escorting transport ships, or piloting those ships. Or become a pirate stealing cargo. A stupid little fantasy of mine if I only had the cash to produce such a game. And of course, I'd have the sole indestructible ship in the universe doing as I please.

I would invest the whole thing, then spend the dividends lobbying the government on universal early childhood education and disassociating school funding and property taxes.
Every child should have a good education, and where you live should not affect its quality. Parents in rich areas (aka most politicians) will not be so happy, but inequality in education is a huge problem and contributes to segregation, gentrification, and loss of huge amounts of human capital.

I hate my housemate so I'd bribe his boss a handsome sum to fire him and buy the house from my landlord and give him his eviction notice, just to cause him a lot of stress in his life.
Depending how fun I find that, I might continue to plague him for another month.
Besides that, my actual answer would be buying a prime piece of land somewhere in London to build a house on. I've always wanted to design and build my own house. I'd make it so sweet, and maybe put a super pretentious statue of myself in the yard. At least 10metres tall.

Create a fancy and comfortable, but not too comfortable study with vast bookshelves, a wall-spanning white board, possibly a cliche hidden room behind a bookshelf, sort of like a panic room or room-sized safe. Books to go with the bookshelves. I'd like to get into a hobby of building electronics and mechanics, so text books on the subject, plenty of parts to play with and new tech to take apart so I can see what this new tech is made and capable of. But I'd need a house for all this... something not too big but not so compact.

So, I always thought that if I got rich, I wouldn't tell anyone, or at least not right away. With that in mind, I'd have conversations with my friends and loved ones about their dreams, and then I'd make them come true before they realized I even had that capability.
I'd sit with my parents and have them draw me the floor plan of their ideal house. I'd have them tell me everything they'd want, including the stupid stuff they could never afford. And then I'd get it built.
After I got through my friends and family, I'd operate like a secret, private Make A Wish foundation. Kids with cancer would wake up and find a packet detailing their all-expenses-paid trip to Disneyworld.
Also, I'd get my car fixed. I wouldn't get a new car-- I'd sink ludicrous amounts of money into fixing my current one. He's 17 years old and his name is Mr. Rogers, and I'd love to have him properly working again.

Assuming I woke up with one billion dollars I'd first:
Give my parents ten million
Give my grandparents ten million
Give my aunt and uncle ten million
Give my cousin and her husband ten million
Give my fiancรฉs mom and dad ten million
Set up college/trust funds for my three future step children
Allocate a few million to some charities
Invest 2/3 of what ever is left
And with the bit I didn't use, the bit left just for me, I'd like to buy a decent gaming computer. Once went on Alienware and customized one with all the highest features and it was like ten grand, I don't know much about hardware and all but my tech friends said I would have to update it for the next twenty years so that would be nice.

Iโd buy neighborhoods of abandoned houses and lots and pay people of the troubled community to work to help restore them and build new houses. Then Iโd set the rent at a price the neighborhood could afford to help rebuild communities without gentrifying.

I'll take one of these. I'll add to it - have the entrance be a secret entrance through a safe room that connects to an above-ground home so that most people don't even know the bunker exists - plus - bonus....you can live in the above ground home when you want some fresh air.

I've always told my employees and coworkers that if I ever hit the lottery, they would never see me again. Instead, I would hire someone who looks vaguely like me to pretend to be me to come and do my job so I could give two weeks notice.

I would build a big house in the Oregon woods, solar powered so I wouldn't have to relay on a utility company for energy. I'd build a recording studio inside and any instrument I'd want. I would pay off all of my debts. I'd move my parents to a quiet house wherever they wanted. I'd go back to college and learn whatever I wanted. I'd farm and grow vegetables and spend the rest of my life bettering myself and others around me.

Oh, I planned this one out already. I would buy a plot of land, maybe about 8-10 acres. It should be land with no house or other buildings on it, as I'd be tearing down anything on it anyway. I'd build a house for me to live in, something fairly normal and not too extravagant. Maybe 4-5 bedrooms, two stories. Pretty normal.
But, there'd be an elevator in the house. It doesn't go to the second floor, it only goes down to the basement and then to a floor below that. In the floor below that would be a huuuuuge room that I'd fill up with arcade games. All the arcade games I can find. When you step off the elevator, the first game you'd see is Pong. As you walk forward, the games get newer and newer. Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Polybius, Asteroids, all the classics. Then, as you keep walking, you'd start seeing Street Fighter 2, Mortal Kombat, Neo Geo machines, X-Men (4 player version), etc.
I'd get every damn arcade game I can think of. The KLOV would be my buying guide. It doesn't even matter if I like the game or not. If it exists, I want it.
Once you get to the modern games, there's be a separate room for pinball machines. Same deal: every pinball game I can get my hands on.
So it'd be a normal house with a huge complex containing video games under it. I'd open it up to the public on special days, but it'd mostly be a private collection. Of course, my friends would be permitted to enter and play at any time.
I also would build a smallish town on the rest of my land above ground. another 3-4 houses I could rent out, maybe get part of it zoned for commercial uses and try to get a few stores on my property. So i'd start a (very) small town that had a huge arcade underneath it.

At first I was going to say fast internet, but then I realized I'm thinking too small. As a billionaire, I could even be my own ISP! So, if we're dipping into the realm of establishing companies for your own personal reasons.. I'd waste money hiring scientists. I'd give physicists and engineers a working environment and adequate funding, then just let them get to it. Since solving the mysteries of the universe rarely turns profits, not nearly enough jobs exist for the sake of science. Someone's gotta do it. Bonus points if they can make me a cyborg.

I would get two of those kitty litter boxes that clean themselves. The robotic ones that sift the poo and clumps and it empties into a sealed area so you only have to dump the bin and the litter box is always clean because it has a sensor that activates it after the cat uses it. Two, one for each cat. However, my adopted cat used to rush to use the litter box EVERY time I'd clean it- I did a little experiment one time while I was working,(he belonged to my former patient, so he was still with said patient at the time) and I would clean the litter box every time he went and in 2 hours he went SIX times-going each time that I cleaned the litter box. So I sort of fear that if I got one of the self cleaning ones, the poor little thing would fall over from exhaustion! LOL. But in theory it would be neat to have and extravagant only because it's one job I dislike doing but oh so very necessary!

My dad and I have an insane plan to start a tourist attraction called "Crazy Ivan's".
First, we start with an old submarine, preferably Soviet, and have it transported into a freshwater lake somewhere in Central Texas. I'm thinking cutting it up into pieces and trucking it in before reassembling it is probably the only way this will work. This is fine, considering the innards are going to need modifying anyway, and it no longer needs to submerge, just float.
Then, we permanently moor it to the lakefloor out a ways from the shore. The top outside deck is somehow turned into kind of a Cafe/Bar&grill type place, where you boat, tube, or Jetski up to the sub and tie off to it, with floating decks for people to board and such. Below decks will be the kitchen, as well as some of the crews quarters converted to rentable rooms (still incredibly spartan, the novelty is staying on a sub for a night or that youre sleeping off a drunken night). Another portion of the sub is converted into The Torpedo Room, a Soviet Themed bar/nightclub complete with Soviet Flags, busts of Lenin and Stalin, propaganda posters, the works. The bartenders and indeed all the staff are dressed in accurate Soviet Red Navy uniforms; management are officers and normal staff are enlisted.
The crown jewel though, is Crazy Ivan himself. Acting as a sort of spokesman, mascot, and general Party Animal In Charge, my father would dress up in an accurate Red Navy officers uniform for a Soviet Sub Captain (parade dress for added zaniness). He would do crazy announcements from the Conning Tower, act silly over the loudspeakers, and be part of the pseudo-dinner-theater of Crazy Ivan trying to get the sub to dive (there's always some mechanical failure of course), thinking the KGB is after him, and desperately trying to defect to the US. He would also wander around the restaurant area and Torpedo Room, causing general mischief, buying drinks, and keeping the lighthearted party atmosphere going while maintaining the bizarre Soviet Theme.
Thats what I would do if I suddenly became a billionaire.
But that's just me.

Have drones carrying smoke machines and projectors projecting alien spacecraft all over the sky. Have them firing fake lasers into buildings I already purchased and set the buildings on fire by remote control.
The next day I would announce on all the comms and media that the aliens target by detecting electricity and cut off all the power and communication in and out of the Island.
And then I would take off in my yacht in the middle of the night never to return.

Research and development of cheese trees and then a couple nurseries and orchards for the trees themselves.
Gouda, Roquefort, Camembert, Stilton, Gorgonzola, Vรคsterbotten, Gruyรจre, Cheddar, Parmigiano-Reggiano, Mozzarella, Halloumi and Feta trees should cover the edible cheese spectrum pretty well.
I might need a few GMO scientists for this to work though, but it should be doable.

And, you know, a romantic overnight stay in a lovely hotel with my future husband ;) Itโd be the start of so many travels for sure! If youโve got that kind of cash...Iโd love to see Japan or Australia. And then, while weโre away, have some amazing handyman finishing up the work weโre doing in our home. And I want a switch and breath of the wild D:

I don't want any luxuries but my lifestyle would be different if it was focused on using existing money to do the most good in the world rather than trying to be a force for good despite my lack of interest in billions of money.

Also, I'll finally marry my fiancรฉ and renovate my house. It's a fantasy I've played out in my mind for a while. I don't want to be filthy rich, I want myself and my loved ones to be comfortable.

I'd quite like to clean up my city (literally, not like batman). I'm sure a few hundred thousand would be enough to pay people to clean everything up. A few hundred more thousand (per year maybe) would build housing and feed/clothe the homeless and suddenly my city is nice again. This would only cost less than a percent of my net wealth a year (I'd make more on that from safe investment of my billions), I might consider doing to every city I visited so they're nice when I get there, it would also probably get me a rep as a 'good person' so the public would overlook all the bad shit I'd do with the rest (vast majority) of my money. ๐

It would be a car but screw a Lambo or Ferrari, I'd go for a modernized restoration muscle car, maybe a classic british roadster or an old 911.

A house. Not a mansion or anything. Just a house. But in a different part of the country where I can have lots of flat land and less humidity. Probably in New Mexico. There would be no worry about finding work, so I would just choose where I want to be with no real compromise necessary. I live where I live because that's where work is. My girlfriend would quit her job and go with me in a second, and we don't want kids so we wouldn't even need to look at school systems. And neither of us really cares about family.
I'd probably build a sound studio in the house. I love writing, recording, and producing music. Also I could use it for freelance foley work, which I've always been very interested in.

Short term purpose would be a research station and launch pad. Research facilities would be available for lease, to generate some income while demand for the launch pad becomes a thing. The money would go towards expanding the station, adding mining first, then manufacturing, then commercial services for tourism and those who work there.

The most Niche/Specific video game that would put every other AAA game to shame in terms of graphics but no one would play because only I could enjoy it.
Imagine Rimworld, but first person. A massive and intricate tech tree that goes from what the average American would know to space travel.
Once you get to a certain size. The game will take on an RTS element. With mass scale faction warfare. As you take over a (properly scaled mind you) chunk of the planet, it goes to paradox style grand strategy.
All the while you do this you sitll are a player who can walk around your now palace and function with the survival mechanics. Though at this point it'll basically be a first person Sims as the npc employees will have taken over the menial shit.
You can conquer or trade or what ever, but guess what? Tech. Boom space ships time to colonize bitches! You can do it from the grand strategy mode or take the helm yourself, why not?
Well it won't be fun without people to conquer right? Nope procedually generated solar system, and then? The Galaxy itself!
And with a 100mil+ budget this shit will look like CoD WWII but play like one of my wet dreams...
Or I'd get a golden toilet, or whatever.

Also, I want a big water fountain filled with swans (not sure why, but this is my fantasy). Take my children to live there for a year or two so they learn the language and their heritage.
Finally, my favourite 'fuck you I'm rich fantasy': buy the shittiest, barely holding together car. Dress myself and my kids up as the most revolting bogans ever- get all my tats out; possibly some wornout leggings, Ugg boots, and an AC/DC singlet or the like. Pile my bogan kids into my shit box and go shopping for a $300K+ car. Be sure to be as difficult as possible, but pay full price for whatever I buy so the salesperson gets a good comm. *spent 10 yrs selling luxury cars and think this would be great fun!

That's about it, I have pretty simple needs.

I would also invite homeless people to come and help out and have an area just for them so that they have access to food which we can all grow and shelter which we can all build. Together. We could even invite trained professionals in to help those with mental health difficulties and/or problems with addiction.
Basically, an area for both humans and all of the other animals to come and live in peace and harmony with one another.

A bespoke suit of armour from Per Lillelund Jenssen, an armourer so skilled the curator of one of the largest private collections of armour in Europe was fooled by his work.
(Dr. Tobias Capwell mentions in a lecture how he was corresponding with mr Lillelund about a research trip, and a few emails into the exchange of pictures, he started noticing that the more recent photos in the exchange had armourer marks in the wrong places, these were pieces made by Mr Lillelund, not the originals, which Dr. Capwell first thought them to be).

as someone with money, and nearly any material possession I could ever want, I wouldn't waste the money, I'd donate it to charity.
I'd probably just single-handedly fund planned parenthood or start up a series of homeless shelters in major cities in the U.S.
the only thing I could think as a stretch goal to "waste" money on would be to buy a coffee shop, turn it into a join venture library and name it "cerebrew." Knowing me, I'd get bored quickly and not want to put in the effort into it that it would deserve to have.
I'd much rather use the billions to give it to things that need it more than myself.

There was a lot of interesting things to have happened from the founding of Rome to its destruction so they have plenty of material they can work with. I would want it to be a good drama without sacrificing the historical accuracy too much.
Also it'd be nice to buy myself a large property where I could spend my free time on various projects such as making a lagoon with landscaping and water features etc to raise fish. And of course travel around the world a bit and get drunk in various locations.

All working towards the goal of creating a world without war, conflict, or political control.

Bankrupting a former boss. Not my current boss he's awesome.
I would buy a plot of land across from or adjacent to his. I would then build a space building and buy a fleet of buses (it is a bus company). Next, I'd begin hiring away his employees until he defaulted on his contracts and then I would take them from him. We're not done yet, next I systematically bury him in State and local inspections until he has no choice but to sell out.
At that point I would get really nasty. In the end I would buy the site for pennies on the dollar and bulldoze it into the ground. Then put up a public park.
I figure all of this would cost around 10 million. But it would make a good write off for years to come, and the spite business would probably be worth around 5 mil.

I worked there years ago. The boss was a screaming tyrant, who wouldn't spend a dime he didn't have to, but would spend hundreds if not thousands in labor hours trying to Jerry rig things rather than spend less fixing it right.
I was a mechanic and he made me take a roll back I'd never run before out onto the highway to tow a car. I had never used the truck before, I had never even towed before. I could have easily been killed, or killed someone else.
I still have nightmares about this prick to this day and it's been well over a decade since I worked there.
The place was so bad that they had a "Mechanics Wanted" sign out front that they never took down. I worked with one other guy who I liked, he was a good tech and he taught me a lot about diesel engines. I told him if he ever left I'd put in my two weeks on the same day. He told the guy he was leaving and put in his two weeks, I stopped the boss on the way back in to the building and told him I'd be leaving as well. He was so mad he fired me on the spot. Which was fine because I had lined up another job and I hadn't had a vacation in over a year, but it meant I had to arrange a pickup of my tool box. So I sat out front with my whole box for two hours until my father came.

I'd then buy an airplane hangar and put a Cessna skyhawk and an apache attack helicopter in it. I'd have all my clothes hand tailored in Victorian styles and I'd hire someone to drive me around in a 1950s Rolls Royce. I'd also buy a ballista and use it to hurl spears at things. And build a racetrack on my property so I can drive as fast as I want without getting arrested.

I'd pay to dub the entire original Star Wars trilogy. Every Jedi, Rebel, and otherwise 'Good' character would be voiced by John C Reilly using the same voice. Every Sith, Empire, or otherwise 'Bad' character would be voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait using the same voice. Bobcat would use a voice modulator to mildly change the resonance and echo of his voice for Darth Vader. When Vader is redeemed in the final act of RotJ, his voice actor would change from John to Bobcat mid scene. The entire trilogy would be released as a single cinematic event with only the title scrollers breaking up the movies. Theaters would be segregated into Darkside and Lightside seating based entirely on the opinions of the theater managers as to what constitutes one or the other. Beer, Wine, and Cider would be served.
I'd go to auctions and buy expensive scotch and wine, and then drink them on the spot out of a Jersey Mike's cup that I just finished drinking tea or coke out of. I'd pair the scotch or wine with Chic-fil-a or BBQ platters.
I'd hire my close friends as "No" people. Their entire job is to tell everyone else 'No' any time someone asks me for something. Want money for your small business? No. Want me to back your micro budget documentary? No. Want me to pay for your kid to go to college? No. I'm already good at saying 'No' to my friends, so that won't be hard to handle myself.
Annual '$3000 Race Across America'. Each of my friends gets $3000 to find a car and then race from Key West to Seattle. Whatever you don't spend on the car is what you have to spend on everything else other than gas and food. If you can't/won't go any further because you are out of money, your car is dead, etc.....you get flown to Seattle and then have to be the winner's servant for the week we're there.

Me and my old childhood buddies have a dream of together buying a suitable piece of land and developing it into a private housing area overtime. Where we and our families live as neighbours, we work together on financing and designing plots and houses to rent/sell to good people.
If I woke up a billionaire I would make this dream happen, I would finance the land and have my buddies free reign over their houses/yards (within reason of course, we would likely hire a professional design firm to work with). Which I will finance for them and kit-out with the most top-of-the-line equipment, solar shingles, house batteries, geothermal backup, you name it. Pretty much the best money can buy.
Also, not really a lavish thing but this would give me the most personal joy, happiness and satisfaction I could ever get in my whole life - Paying off my parents debt, completely renovating and refurbishing their house and probably see if I can use this gift to help convince my dad to go to a rehabilitation center for alcoholics.

Not giving money to people, but making trust funds. Spend a little myself, but keep an account to live off the interests, and boy, thereโll be interests. Help with friends and familyโs /basic/ needs. But only the closest. I wouldnโt spend ridiculously, basic stuff. But probably a bit of luxury here and there, a new wardrobe, a car and a better apartment, but not anything too big, what should I use the space for anyway? Two, maybe three rooms are enough for me.

That's it. I don't want to clean or cook ever again.
Next in line would be a nicer place to live. Probably buy some land where I can't hear cars driving around at all hours and have a house built. Nothing lavish, but nice. Include a couple "carriage house" type apartments on the property for the cleaning people/person and chef(s). Make sure those apartments are far enough away that I can't hear anything they do.
After that? Who knows.

Would hire a team of professionals and buy a equipment to build real mech robots (like titanfall or anime ones). Currently I'm working on developing a new physics theory for anitgravity-drive and zero-point energy source. Main problem with building real mech is huge mass and lack of compact energy source, when those problems will be solved it's possible to build real mech with our current tech level, but it would require about 1M-10M$ I'm actually going to do this anyway, I have some money for building antigravity engine prototype when I'll finish a theory, but several billions would definitely help to speedup a process of real mech building.

I WOuld love to just buy property around the world.
first I would pay off my mortgage and my families mortgges, then i would go looking for my dream house which is a large victorian townhouse probably somewhere in Islington. I dont like West London so places like Mayfair and Chelsea arent for me.
I would also buy a bunch of rentals fior the future.
I would then go abroad and buy a few places in Hong Kong and New York, a villa in Ibiza, Bali and Georgetown in Penang ( my favourite place ever)
Im very frugal so it would just be all invested in order to make more money so in 10 generations we would still be super rich.
I will have some frivolities though- hit Savile Row ( the only place in the world to get a suit made) to get some bespoke suits made for me, I would commission Jim Lee to do some unique one of a kind artwork for me, I would spend a bunch on classic cars- Mercedes Sl W113 and an E-Type Jag, personal chef and trainer, personal drug dealer etc

Well based of the current travel speed we can do i wouldn't really expect to get to any planet that is "safe enough" minus mars since that sucker belongs to big daddy Elon. I would most likely live in the ship, but if i could choose i would choose a moon instead of a planet. Most likely Titan i think it would be amazing to see Saturn from that position. Also i probably wouldn't land on the moon i would just live in orbit around it.

Surgery for my neck so I donโt have nerve pain anymore. Dental implants , because I was poor and emergency dental services for poor people consists of extractions. I am no longer poor, I am actually in pretty good shape financially but I canโt afford thirty thousand to redo my grill. I canโt take off 2 months to recover from surgery. That is why dreaming about being a billionaire gets so many responses.

I would probably spend a few weeks just doing nice things for other people but never telling anyone because if you do something kind for someone else from the goodness of your heart, it shouldnโt be for publicity. I would be paying overdue bills, buying cars for single moms, paying for random peopleโs groceries at the store, cover expenses for local foster parents who are making a difference, that sort of thing.
Itโs a pipe dream of mine to truly make this kind of an impact in my world. Until I wake up a billionaire I will keep doing little things for people until I can do the big stuff.

Very late, but I want to get this out anyway.
I work at a nursing home that's really run down, and facing a lot of budget cuts. Most of our residents are on Medicaid/Medicare (I can never remember which is which... Govt assistance anyway.) With cuts to the program, our budgets are cut as well.
I've long since had plans for the newer, much nicer building I'd put up for these folk to live in.
First, it needs to be very efficiently designed from the bottom up. Probably get that solar panel glass everywhere possible. A good, efficient, actually functional hvac system.
An enclosed outdoor patio area or two where residents can go outside whenever they want and smoke (in designated areas) or enjoy the fresh air or help in the resident garden plot - flowers and decorative plants to both help the air (eww smoke lol) and help them feel good.
A properly set up kitchen and dining area, designed with the resident + staff capacity in mind. Unlike the one we have now, it'd be spacious, with reliable equipment, fridges and freezers that actually work and don't break down every time you turn around. Set up with adequate ventilation and cooling so workers aren't getting heat sick. And just be set up to make and provide better food with more choices than residents have now.
An activities room they can go to whenever they want to check out books, watch movies, do crafts, etc.
A game and technology center where they can play games - card, board, and video - get on Facebook, etc. PCs would need to have some pretty good security software and filtering, but still. A lot of our residents are younger than the typical nursing home age, and quite capable of using social media, playing online games that aren't just Candy Crush and its bajillion clones, etc. Would probably need a staff member to assist and supervise. That'd be my job right there.
Well-designed offices and staff spaces. Nurses stations that aren't falling apart. Offices with computers, fax machines, etc that aren't haunted or otherwise prone to refusing to work every time you turn around. Those vital signs machines on rolling stands so they don't end up disappearing all the time. (Especially thermometers and pulse oximeters.) Med rooms that aren't cut off from hvac. Linen closets that actually have enough space for the things we need to store there. A laundry room with enough equipment to actually keep up with demand. Bathrooms and shower rooms for residents that are designed with wheelchairs (and staff to assist people in wheelchairs) in mind. Bedroom closets that can hold more than barely a dozen hangers of clothes and two pairs of shoes. Heavy duty storage lockers for each resident to combat the ever-present thieving problem. Enough outlets so they can actually plug in their bed, TV, DVD player, radio, and phone all at once. Even o2 concentrators and a fan if they need it.
I already know exactly where I'd build it too. I just need to hurry up and win the lottery or invent the next PayPal before some other developer buys it and puts up houses or something.

I'd get them those big cushy beds and those expensive antler sticks to chew on and have the best food for them to be healthy and happy. They'd have a pool and couches to cuddle up on and people to take them out on walks or to play with.
After that if I'm up to the challenge bring in more animals.

I would buy the house right next door to Ice Cube and if someone was already living there, I'd buy it out from under them. Once I moved in I'd wait about a week, then go out and do yard work right about the time Cube was getting his mail or some shit he doesn't already pay someone to do. I'd do the stereotypical white neighbor thing and wave at him and say "howdy, neighbor!" And then we'd talk for a minute about how life is going for him, then he'd invite me over for a glass of glenlivet (Ice Cube is fancy I imagine). While over there, I would look at his collection of records and he would ask me if I wanted to listen to one. I would say yes. We would pop in "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" and he would soon learn that I know all the words to every song on the album. But I wouldn't say the N word, out of respect. He would be so impressed by me and my hilarious jokes that he would invite me to a basketball game that evening. I would enthusiastically accept. We would go to the game and get matching jerseys and wear them all night. We would then go and grab a drink and some wings at a bar near the stadium we were at, with an entourage following us all the way. We would call up some hot bitches to come sit with us and look fine, and chat about how the world is changing, all while being at eye level with some sweet boobies. After a full night of Cube's favorite activities, we would return home. He would have his driver drop me off at the end of my driveway and I would step out of the car. As I get ready to walk away, I would hear Cube say "hey hold on," and turn around. When I looked down at him in the car, he would give me a fist bump and say "you a'ight." Then we would be best friends until we died and everyone would wonder why Ice Cube's best friend is a 22-year-old white girl. The end.

I'd build the ultimate game room. On one wall there'd be at least ten PC's pimped out with the ultimate hardware. Fairly near that there'd be a large couch facing a flatscreen T.V. with every gaming console hooked up to it. Then I'd fill the rest of the space with a foosball table, pool table (billiards), dart board, ultimate table-top gaming table, etc. I'd probably also have snack/drink machines that I keep constantly stocked. And if I could find them I'd probably throw in some old timey arcade machines as well. Then I'd just have people over every weekend.

i would buy a 100 acre farm, and build a no-kill shelter for problem animals of any and all kinds, and senior pets. I'd take any and all that couldn't find a place, be it a zoo, sanctuary, kennel, home, whatever. I would spend whatever I needed to, to keep the local pounds open and functioning well enough that they never needed to put down a dog or cat unless it was absolutely necessary. "abrandnewrapture, the county pound is full, they have 15 dogs that they're going to put down next week and we are at capacity." -- "sounds like you need to call the guy that builds our kennels and tell him we need 15 more by this weekend." -- "but what about that giraffe enclosure?" -- "Call the guy. Tell him we need 25 and i'll give him a 25% bonus on his quote if he can have the kennels and enclosure all done by monday."
... in my opinion, i honestly don't think i could feel better about myself, with anything else i could ever do.

Also walk through the city and hand homeless people an envelope with 10 grand in it, with only one request, that they tell me their story. Sit with them and listen to it, thank them for their time and hand them the envelope.

I'd buy a large plot of forested land and build a mansion or a castle on said land. It wouldn't be a mansion with modern architectural styles either; I'd want a classic-looking palace made to my specifications with lots of secret rooms and passageways and secret basements.
Then I'd pretend to be a lord or a king or something of the sort and dress and style myself as such, and I would only respond to people calling me "your majesty". When you're rich enough to buy a mansion you're rich enough that you no longer need to pretend to be sane and can instead just embrace your madness and run with it.

I'm a simple person. I'd build a nice, moderately sized house with a pool, go to college, and live comfortably without having to worry about if I can pay the bills. Of course I'll do the same for some friends and family, too.
But I'll be damned if I'm not going to build the best PC I possibly can. And I'll buy the newest consoles as they come out, along with whatever old ones I can get my hands on. I want a pull-out digital art desk on the side. I'll have a beautifully done, color-themed setup and the comfiest chair. I want feel like I have to cry from joy when I look at it.
And then I'll make/play video games for the rest of my life.
Also: snakes. A boa in my living room with a tall tank that gives it all the room it needs to climb. A beautiful python over the headboard of my bed. An adorable hognose in the dining room. All with planted tanks that suit their species' needs. I'd even import their food so they can get what they'd be eating in the wild. I'll be a good snake mommy.

I'd buy all the vacant homes in my city and have them replaced with community gardens. That'd only cost a couple mil and would clean up the area and give residents a sense of pride again. The rust belt needs a major face lift and this could be one way to galvanize the long standing history and tradition that makes us proud to call it home.
I'd also hire entertainers to visit the nursing homes and hospitals to give those residents some sense of joy and hope.
For myself? I guess I'd splurge on a private jet and crew to take me to major cities around the world where I'd celebrate the culture and experiences those people take for granted. Also a black lab puppy. I'd name her after a Final Fantasy character or something related to space, maybe Yuffie or Andromeda.

Oh I've seen houses that I just DROOL over the thought of living in. In magazines, online and on TV shows about best house designs that are sometimes worth in the tens of millions (or in some very rare cases over $100 million) I could easily spend at least $10 mil though just designing my dream home, and a few million extra on top of that for the site to build it on alone because damn right I'm going to choose a popular city/beach area as my new residence.
While I would go out more as a billionaire, I would just love having a luxury home to return to every night. A place that has everything I need to be happy for those days where I'm just not feeling like going anywhere but don't want to be bored either. A huge TV with surround sound for my gaming and movie nights. An infinity pool in my beautifully landscaped tropical garden overlooking the city or water. A nice big saltwater aquarium built into the wall (I've always loved those, I'd just pay someone to maintain it) nice furniture, unique lighting and an overall extremely modern and "chic" design to suit my tastes for the contemporary and high end which I can only dream of ever being able to afford now. I'd consider everything - including keyless security because to hell with having to fuck around with keys every time I want to get into my house. I'd have a bright orange Lamborghini in my garage too, not that I'd need it much since the beach and surrounding boutique shops and restaurants would be within walking distance and the city not much further out but hey it'll be cool to drive around in style.
Yes I'd be going on a lot of holidays with that kind of money. But travelling is too exhausting to do it all the time. So I'd want a home that still feels like I'm on a five star holiday every time I walk into it. I'd buy my family everything they wanted. We'd still go on one major holiday a year, maybe more and stay in the best resorts while there. We'd eat out whenever no-one felt like cooking. None of us would work in our shitty soul-sucking jobs ever again and tedious chores would be left to paid staff to deal with our cleaning, planning and anything else because I would be totally fine with having someone else babysit all my needs while I spend all day having fun.

A medieval looking castle residence, but the inside would be full of video games and rare geeky anime/video game/pop culture collectibles (and maybe a room for statues). The video game consoles would be set up in home cinema type rooms, and there will be other rooms for classic arcade games. One part of the castle will be a small amusement park, with one rollercoaster leading out of the castle on to the outside gardens. The gardens will have a large pool with slides leading from the house into the pool.
Yeah I think I would need a few billions to accomplish this. But I dream of achieving this one day. One day.

Lavish isn't my style, but... I'd probably purchase some bare necessities (a new, fuel-efficient car, a large condo in a city of my choice, some makeup that won't make my eyes swell). Then I'd purchase some organic cat food (the grain free shit), some organic cat litter, and I'd adopt a couple of cats from the pound (and microchip my current cats).
Then... IDK. Maybe a working typewriter from Etsy. Maybe a decent laptop.

All my debt and family debt gone. Buy a ton of storage properties and laundry mats, Open a gym, Open a gun range, Buy a golf course, Buy land and build the house of my dreams.
All while continuing to work somewhere, and live off that money with occasional splurging so that hopefully my kids and their kids and so on will be set up for life

My friends and I all agreed that if we suddenly came into a fuckton of money, we would buy minor league baseball teams, and have the most ridiculous promotions...things like Monster Truck Night where the first 5000 fans get an actual monster truck. Also things like buying a golf course next to the ballpark and having the 18th hole be in the middle of center field.

Well I like to live in the city centre but I also don't like people, so I would buy an entire apartment block, demolish it, and then build a regular sized apartment for 4-5 people. I would have an anti-noise fence and a line of trees shielding me from the noise and people, yet I would be close to everything.

Entertaining spaces (bar, guest rooms, whatever) on the ground floor, my personal living space (bedrooms, living room, office) on the first floor, and a library covering the whole second floor.

A theater with a touch display in the entrance where I can choose what I want to watch from a list of any anime, movie, tv-show, whatever.
An arcade, featuring classic coin-ops as well as the newest VR tech, and 20 Gaming PC's for LAN.
Once a week, a boat would dock and deliver groceries to my cook, cleaning supplies for my cleaning staff, and my butler would take care of everything.
The whole staff would get another mansion for themselves with great apartments in them, where they live for free along with the great pay they'd get.

I will also hire some people to dress as the monsters you fight in the game. And then will tell them to attack me. And I will kill them with my galaxy sword. I will also force all the people nearby to dress as the ingame NPC charaters. SO, I can find abigail and seduce her by making her eating lots and lots of quartz. Best life. Oh!

I've always wanted enough money to walk into some grocery/convenience store and just buy all of one thing. It wouldn't be something major like a pharmaceutical drug, but like a minor inconvenience for it not to be stocked. Like all of the soda in a store.

Tack on textbooks (up to $1000 apiece), travel expenses (no college near me has a decent program), and increased health care necessities (stress-induced everything), I'd be looking at a good 50 grand.

My long time dream is to open a pub where I'd just like to hang out and then do my own projects on a laptop behind the bar when it's quiet.
We'd have board games and some consoles, loads of cool beers and comfy places to sit. Everyone would be welcome to just hang out there, no big deal if you're going to buy one pint and stay for hours playing the games.
I'd also cook whatever I felt like that day. I'm big into cooking as a hobby but wouldn't want to be a pro chef. You'd come in and be like "Hey DuckSaxaphone, what's cooking?" and I'd be all like "Burgers today dude" and that's it. If you don't want what I'm making, you can bring your own food. I'll even leave menus out for the pizza place down the road.
Between my laid back attitude, refusal to cater to customer food demands and sheer unwillingness to make it work through working hard rather than hiring people to work the bar for me, I'd probably make a loss. But who cares about negative income as a billionaire?

Oh my goodness, I'd immediately go to college. I'd have no debt, brand new books, new laptop, I'd eat a lunch between every class, have my parking spot actually paid for, an apartment/ dorm a reasonable distance away, I'd take off work and pay off my car and other debts so I would only have to worry about my school work and I would use my status as a responsible well-off adult to get custody of my little brother who's still trapped with my abusive step-mother and then make sure his entire lifetime of education and hobbies are paid for. I guess that seems like more than one thing but it would be unimaginably lavish to actually be able to do a complete lifestyle makeover. Anyway, after all that, I'd build a castle.

I'd buy houses. Lots of houses. But not just any houses; the ones my friends and family are now living in. I'd buy out all the mortgage debt if they've got one, or buy them outright from the landlords if they're renting. I'd then gift each one of them the deeds as anonymously as I could. I don't want any thanks, I just want to see them all set up and stable.
Then I'd go buy a house for myself. Big, but not stupid-big. I have no need for six bathrooms, eighteen bedrooms etc. Just big enough to house my family really comfortably and securely, and have space for friends and relatives to visit. I'd deck it out with decent plumbing, heating, new electrics, wired network in every room and decent mesh wifi. A cinema room and library would be my only really big extravagances. Then I'd build a small room. Maybe 12ftx8ft, and in there will be a decent sized TV, maybe a 32", no bigger, and my consoles and PC etc will be in there. And it'll be locked all the time and hidden away so I don't have to hear about how it's all 'old' or 'rubbish' and 'I should get rid of it all' any more.
I'll then basically never see or use any of it, because I'll quit this f##king job and go do fun things with my family, because I'll still care about the ยฃ/$ no matter how rich I am, but I want the hours and minutes stolen from me back more than anything.
Edit: As for stupid lavish, I'd go fund my own horror movie, because I'm damn sure I can do better than half the crap that gets made these days

Open up a studio where I could teach people how to sew and create the their own clothes. Hire others to teach different subjects like patterning and such. For those who might not want to/cannot pay all the money to go to college to learn fashion design like I did, still have debt and probably always will. The studio will have different departments, sewing machines, flat patterning and draping area. A room designated for photo shoots, room for fitting, front entrance area will be a boutique where we sell peoples designs, all designs will have graded out patterns so they can made for different body types. Bring in speakers once a month from different designers to organizations like AIBI(apparel industry board inc) and WGSN(worth global style network). Twice a year organize a Chicago based fashion show, something I think Chicago will benefit greatly from. And work on my own apparel lines. Hopefully bring in more textile businesses and bring a little competition for textiles in the city. Until then I will work for my boss making expensive drapery.
Membership can be offset by selling designs in the boutique.

Or move to a city with google fibre instead. I'm not a fan of city living, but for fast internet I'd move.

If you kill your opponent, you are disqualified.
If you go out of bound, you are disqualified.
No weapon or outside help.
If you get knocked out, you have till the count of ten to get back up.
No time limit.
I always wondered what type of fighter would win this kind of event. Real fighting events are way too regulated to be interesting to me.

They are always on about how making videos is such a part of them and they love doing it but pull every trick in the book to make as much profit as possible.
I'm betting if I throw them a few million to the point where they never have to work again I can get them to fuck off.

Jarnbjorn Castle, though to be honest I'm told it's more of a compound. I'd build a 3-4 story tall stone wall around a neighborhood of 7 houses for my friends and me to live in. I see the wall as looking like a castle from the outside and the houses actually built into the wall on the inside. The wall would have a hallway we could use to walk around to each other's houses in the winter. The courtyard would be huge and a safe place for our children to be able to play together.
I'd have my own pub/brewery built into the castle as a means of income. The first floor of the pub would be open to the public, but they wouldn't have any sight into the neighborhood. the second floor would be for residents only and have it's own entrance via the hallway mentioned earlier. The bar would have a little window out to the courtyard but it actually leads to an indoor pool area for the residents to be able to order booze and food while hanging out at the pool, residents always get priority over the public.
Courtyard would have a playground for the kids. There'd be a guard on site with an office situated within the wall near the big doors that lead into the courtyard. He'd sign for our mail and deliver to the houses inside. Each house would have it's own garage door entrance by the way so it's not like they have to enter through the gates or anything like that they have their own entry points.
I'd just want to treat my friends awesomely and give them a place to live for free so they had more opportunity to enjoy life and work less.

Then, just a 5 minute walk from the cottage I would have a large shop built with all the necessities for my husband to store and work on as many cars as he likes.
After that I would buy another plot of land next to ours, hire some sound scientists (there's a word for this but can't remember) to design and build a wall around it to keep my house-land quiet so I can build a quarter mile drag strip and a little modest track.
And the last thing I would buy is a 2017 viper acr and I would hire Randy Popes to teach me how to race it.
Then I host car shows and drag/track events once or twice a month and continue to be rich forever

Work with me here, it doesn't seem extravagant but the most senseless thing I'd waste way too much money on is tracking down my first car. A 1996 Eagle Summit, my weird little hatchback only had 3 doors, a pitiful engine, and I loved it to death. Had to leave it behind when I moved across the country, but if it still exists in any form I'd easily spend at least 10x the sticker price getting it shipped to me and completely restored exactly the way I had it in high school.
And then I would get really extravagant and drop a drag racer's engine into that sucker.

Maybe just go to the Magic Kingdom and sit and experience it.
Then branch out to the other areas. Have dinner at the Polynesian Village Resort. Go up to Downtown Disney (or whatever they call it now) at night and walk around. Just take it easy.

Gonna get buried, but nobody else did this, so:
I would spend it all to eliminate governmental corruption. I'd hire tens of thousands of people to work full time to push through a constitutional amendment to reform the campaign finance system.
If there was enough left, I'd do it again in another country, and another, and so on until I ran put of cash or was assassinated. I'd also establish a $50 million contingency fund that would heavily be spent to martyrize my efforts after my assassination. If I survived, I'd live off of the interest from it instead.

A nice big house with large grounds, complete gym, live-in personal trainer, doctor, chef, masseuse, cleaners, etc. I'd get my life organised.
Then I'd start hiring for my new game studio, and everyone who works for me would also enjoy the services of the above people (just less of it, so they have time to work). I'd drop in to ensure things are on track a couple of times a day and review specs, then go back to figuring out how to live longer.
Then I'd buy several hot, smart wives to help me keep my shit in order and to have awesome kids with. And hookers to assist them with me in bed. The same hookers would work out in the gym when not being utilized, where I'd also often utilize them some more.
So basically what Bill Gates did, except with more wives.
Also I'd get everything else everyone else described here, because billionaires shouldn't have to do their own thinking if they don't want to.

After the normal pay bills... I'd open a bakery, buy the property it's on so I don't pay rent for it. Add some offices to the building so the taxes on the property get paid.
Then fix up my house, by the vacant property next door. Fence it all in, put a pond on it, get some more dogs. Maybe start a rescue, have my sister run it. Set up a in house by the pond for her.
Get a financial advisor so I don't spend all and can officially never work again.

I would hire kitchen help...prep cook and cleaning crew and nutrition and meal planning. I would still cook but I would never wash a pot or pan or do dishes ever again...maybe not extravagant... I would also buy a private jet and Tesla's for myself and all my immediate family members..parents, kids, brothers, sisters. I would set up all the kids with trust funds even the brother I don't speak to children.
Ok...extravagant...maybe set up roller coasters. Set up a way to set my proginy up with space travel and exploration. Save elephants and set up shelters for animals.
Buy the homeless meals and shelter. Set them up with medical care.
Set up scholarships for gifted children so they can go to private non-religous school that has an appropriate educational program the scaffolds for children based on their rate of learning and ability. (Public school was a disaster for my 3 gifted kids...private school was out of reach)I know this is redundant

A media network -- the world needs an information source that is about making audiences better-informed instead of manipulating their emotions with fear and sentiment. I realize that this might have to be a non-profit venture, since pretty much everyone who ever said "I wish they would just report the facts" about the news would have no patience at all for infotainment without the entertainment. Yet that's precisely what information is. Having your own major media network is the 21st century equivalent of being someone who buys ink by the barrel. I don't think I'd ever get bored of it.
Either way though, I would set up the organization to reward and promote based on results -- not ratings or ad sales (to the extent we worked with advertisers at all,) but in terms of audience scores on surveys of topical knowledge. The ideas that team would generate and the best of their programming would set positive examples for the rest of the media.

Hire help. For everything. It starts out simple. I don't like cooking. Full time cook who's sole purpose is to cook for me, find out what I like and introduce me to new foods that I will like. I don't like cleaning, so a maid is necessary too.
Then it gets strange. I hate working out. Well I'd hire a guy who would be contractually obligated to make me work out. Not a personal trainer. A guy who basically drags me (by force if necessary) to the gym where my person trainer is at and doesn't let me leave until I complete my workout. I smoke sometimes. I'd hire a guy to make me stop smoking. Just follows me around stopping me from lighting up. (although that would be temporary)
But God damn what I wouldn't give for a fantastic personal chef.

I'd have one of those installed (and maintained daily by a responsible party...i'm not an animal, people) in my kitchen so I could shave off some fresh gyro meat whenever I wanted it.

I would pay off all the debt for every member of my family that has been there for me through the lowest points of my life. Most of my family is poor, not even middle class, and yet so many of them have done everything thing could when something horrible has happened to me regardless if it put them in financial difficultly. I would pay off all their debt and mortgages, and then I would probably buy each of them a new car so I don't have to worry about it breaking down on them.
For myself, I would probably add solar to my house, get a one or two cars I've always wanted, and put the rest into savings for my kids college tuition.
Actually the most lavish thing I would probably do is quit my job, I would put all the money into a trust or something similar and just live off the interest the rest of my life.

Iโd buy out my neighbors, have the homes either torn down or renovated, as well as having mine renovated. Then have a large fence built around the properties to complete my compound. Move my parents and a couple of friends in. And Iโd buy a new car... because I need a new car.

Have maybe 1000 marble statues of Dickbutt made (I'm thinking about 15 feet tall, including the marble plinth) and have each plinth engraved with "Our lord and saviour".
After that, I would take them to remote locations and bury them for future archeologists to find and after more are uncovered they would begin thinking that it was some sort of ancient religion. I would likely never see the payoff from this but it would be entirely worth it just to confuse the fuck out of archeologists in 2,500 years.

There would be only one catch, they have to promise to never have kids of their own and at 18 must be willing to get fixed to matter the sex. This way they can adopt a child if they need one.
I would like to set up a similar operation for animals.

Which would create loads of short term jobs and kick start a movement that told the politicians to shut the fuck up because the people know better than them and completely turn all this coal bullshit on its head. Also id like to tar and feather tony abbott and put him in a pillory so everyone could throw tomatoes and eggs at him.

Someone already said their student loans, but on top of that, I'd pay off my boyfriends student loans, my boyfriend and I's house, my mom's house, buy my dad and stepmom a one level (she just had a stroke and can't do stairs), and I'd pay off my aunt's house as well.
I'd also clear out everyone's credit card debt, then I'd put the remaining in a trust and live off the residual.
Paying off everyone's stuff would probably only be a couple million, so the residual on the rest would be a good amount!
Honestly? I'd totally keep working. Sitting home on my ass isn't my style.
Oh! I may travel a bit. I've always wanted to visit Pompeii, I'd love to see the Pyramids, I'd got to Israel again, I'd go see Japan in the fall, China in the spring, I'd do that knitting tour of the British Isles I've been looking at. I'd visit the Taj Mahal, go so many places!
This probably sounds boring compared to the more outlandish things people are saying, but I honestly just want a decent life without debt hanging over me.
If we're talking lavish? I'd probably splurge on a couple sports cars simply because I love muscle cars, but even then, that's less than $1mil total even if I get a couple.

I know I'm late but I gotta say it since I've thought about it. I'd build a neighborhood of probably 5 houses somewhere far away in like a desert or whatever. Then I'd find and hire a shit ton of people to have a giant party like something outa the hangover. I'd keep supplying the place with alcohol and new people so that the party would go on as long as possible letting the whole place get destroyed. Once I felt the time was right, I'd end it and bring in a team to help me document what happened. This team would be made up of the world's greatest detectives and a bunch a nerds. I'd then figure out how to publish the whole thing. Maybe make a documentary idk. After that I'd just lease the place out to movie studios if they needed some sort of abandoned neighborhood in the middle of the desert. After 10 years of that, I'd burn it.

Then I'd spend a few months travelling, flying first class of course, but otherwise trying to not look super rich. I would want to look like your everyday tourist, albeit staying in a nice-ish hotel and just seeing the world during my days.
When I come back, I'd buy a plot of land somewhere that's semi-rural but not too rural, and build a small house for myself on that land (I don't like the idea of a massive mansion, plus I can't have kids so I wouldn't need that much space), and take up cool hobbies like guns, aviation and stuff like that

Steel chains will dangle from the ceiling at a height of nine feet, and that is where my... laundry bags will hang, for three days and three nights, before I... clean them.
One final concern: Soundproofing. I tend to make a lot of...racket...when I "launder." I'll show you what I mean. I'm going to go to my laundry room, and you tell me if you can hear me.

Australian here...
I am lucky to be living away from home instead of jail these days as I was so verbally negative towards my wife. I was a cunt..
The couple next door has 2 6-12yr old children - one male, and one female.
The father fixes peoples cars to make money ( I won't go into it - I suck at cars and their computers )
A special van comes around each day to pickup his 2 children and safely take them to school each day.
We've talked in the past, though he's quite a private person. I can respect that.
Right now his beloved sounds like she is auditioning for the new lead for Pantera.
I don't know how to tell her the band broke up...
I feel for the guy - maybe i should talk with him. He's pretty chill given previous interactions.
(edit) I grew up Christian.. though none of us stayed back home.
kinda odd... I'm the person in the group that cares and looks out for others

I'd buy a cow, a pig, a goose, a turkey, a duck, a chicken, and a cornish game hen (all dead already) and a hot smoker big enough to fit the cow. Then stuff the chicken with the hen, the duck with the chicken, the turkey with the duck, the goose with the turkey, the pig with the goose, and the cow with the pig. It may not taste the greatest, but it would go down in history as the most ridiculous food ever made.

Research labs in subjects I'm fan of.
One lab radiates the shit out of rats as they are blasted with gamma lasers to create 3D holographic images of their brains in an attempt to perfect the process as a possible method for minduploading.
Another uses existing mind-maps to recreate them in an ANN using the latest tech to create an artificial brain that can work at real-time speeds.
And another that builds some kind of self-sufficient city where citizenship comes with a contract where you're actually employed by the city to help maintain and enhance it.
In return you, well, you can stay a citizen and have a house and have food.
Details to be decided.
I think I'm poor at this point.

Solar array, water source food storage etc. I also love to shoot so a shooting range/archery range on my property would be great. Ive had this dream of owning enough property that I could build this awesome cozy cabin in the woods maybe like a mile behind my house so if I ever wanted to bug out and be alone for awhile I could just go there.
Talking like this does make me grateful for what I have though.

I'd then proceed to commision my own people a 40,000 point army, and make them all ultranoobs. (Points = value of units, aka a space marine is typically around 12, so 40k/12 = a lot). Then spend the next decade painting them

Of course you got to pay for therapy too, so of course we'll cover that.

Basically play undercover boss. Stupid customer goes to complain to my unwitting supervisor and then they (customer and supervisor) find out I own the company. Laugh at their reaction. Rinse and repeat for a different company.
Probably buy a decommissioned missile silo. And the land. And mineral rights and air rights and all that. Put a tiny house on top so anyone that goes buy just thinks I live in a tiny house.

It's my yard, and I'm a fucking lawyer." (You do know everyone in the area uses that connection to access the Internet, dumbass? Right?)
My other neighbour is a busy body who is the unofficial "neighbourhood" watch. Anything that happens in my yard/house, and it turns into a "Hey, you made a change." And she always brings up that she's a single mother to try to get you have a fucking sob story. No, your damn kids are teens now.

It would have a super nice bathroom, a regular bedroom, a living room with a giant couch and giant tv, and a sweet fuckin kitchen. I'd hire a driver too, but he would either have to be like really chill and funny or just like a quiet old guy who didn't like to talk much.

A new garage. The slab on our current has cracked and settled making one side of the garage lower than the other. The door is still able to function but only just barely.
Since the garage would likely have to be completely torn down to properly fix it, I might as well have the utility companies come and disconnect their stuff so we can dig up the backyard, get rid of the inexplicable 6 inch thick layer of gravel that is buried about a foot down, underneath the black dirt and then clay layers. Since we're doing earthworks I might as well have them dig up the foundation along the back of the house and repair and seal the crack in the basement too. As long as the equipment is there they should probably re-run the front sewer at the proper depth so it's not sticking up out of the front yard either. Replace all the garbage clay fill they used to cover it up with black dirt so the grass will grow again. Regrade the backyard so it drains properly. Tear out the dying maple tree and replace it with something that won't get black tar spot disease. Get rid of the shed that is literally rotting to pieces and replace it with a nicer shed/greenhouse combo. Extend the garage a bit while we're rebuilding it so that we can fit a car in there again. Hell, might as well extend the basement and the house too. Just cut the crack out of the foundation wall and extend it there.
I guess, what I'm saying is, shit's broke and expensive as fuck to fix it.

Okay work with me here because if you don't know much about Resident Evil then this won't make sense to you. I would get a hold of the Resident Evil 1.5 builds that are out there and hire a team of people and give them 18 months to finish the game. That includes cleaning up the bugs, making the missing backgrounds, recreating known backgrounds that are missing, and piecing it all together.
In the end all of the tools and a fully playable build of 1.5 would be released. The devs would get paid but everything would be free. After that I'd probably keep the devs on as a indie studio to do whatever the hell they wanted.
This would be my dream because growing up RE1.5 was kind of a minor obsession and now there is builds of it leaked on the internet but they're far from complete and there is progress from some teams on doing what I said above but I'd really love to see a RE1.5 release that mirrored the quality of RE1. I got a small taste of what this felt like when I helped fund the release of RE1 for the GBC a few years ago.

First I'd take care of my family. Pay off my grandparents' house, get my mom and older brother houses, make sure they both have good cars. Maybe move my mom close to step two. Get my grandma a small dog and take her huge dog with me. And the cat, because why not.
Step two is have a house built with a bunch of secret passages and shit. Not too big (don't want to waste all my money here) but big enough that I could theoretically get around without ever going into the open spaces.
Step three is dogs. Like 3 or 4 more dogs. I'm already taking my Grandma's dog, and I want to be able to give them the attention they deserve. One more cat too, because Maine Coons.
Step four, go to college for the heck of it. I have time and money for it now. Also therapy. Gonna deal with my anxiety.
Step five is to live like I'm not a billionaire. Aside from everything listed above, buy cheap things. Used car, old furniture (because dogs), shop at thrift.

The village my grandmother comes from is tiny and the house we own is so old the walls are literally made from stones and parts of the ceilings are still cane. Underneath the house, thereโs a whole other floor carved into the hillside including a room with an large mill great grandparents used to make olive oil.

The most balls to the fuckin wall nerd den u can possibly imagine. $5,000 pc, multi console couch gaming setup with 100+ in. tv, a nice sturdy table for board games and D&D (with all solid gold dice of course), and an unhealthy amount of posters, statues, and other collectibles from any and all of my favorite games (Iโm lookin at you overwatch statues). Line the walls in vantablack, then add some Red LEDs inspired by SIVA from destiny, add a fridge for all of my orange Gatorade and frozen bagebites, and a microwave and Iโd probably never leave.
Or I could by an island... that could be cool I guess...

I have a list. 1. I would buy a local school so I could have the bell tower removed brick by brick and put on top of my house. It would have fully functioning bells every hour to annoy my neighbours.
Buy one of those roadwork machines that bounce to pat fresh tarmac down. When my bell tower went off at 6am I would get up, eat my Ferrero Roche and Baileys breakfast and use it to make sure my neighbours were all awake.
A trampet to be carried by a friend in my employment who loves big boobs. Then whenever I saw a girl with big boobies I could pay to have her jump on it for my entertainment.
The list goes on...

I'd get my grandma the best possible Dementia ward out there and houses for my friends and family. Later on I would buy as many companies as I can and make sure half of it gets employed by homeless people. The most beneficial companies will have to donate to the animal shelters and build more centers for the homeless. Which I would donate almost everything I had on and properly made sure they got off the street for good.

I would buy a large piece of land or island and develop it so that it would mimic the world map from the first Zelda on NES. I would make each dungeon an obstacle course where you would need to find a key item in order to go on to the next (like the game) and the the final boss (Ganon) would be an archery course where you would have to use a bow and arrow to hit him 5 times to win. I would open this up as a type of amusement park to the public in order to make back the money I spent on creating it.

Ive been in the same fantasy football league as my best buds from college for over 7 years now.
We've joked about getting the league to go in and buy a beach house so we can get the 12 of us together at the end of summer for a destination draft, so itd need at least 12 bedrooms, which is pretty extravagant. (So the beach house is exhibit 1A)
Now, since we went through undergrad together, we've got an inordinately large number of stories that go from absurd to absurdly illegal to dangerously absurd AND illegal. When some of us get together we'll talk about the beach house but the last year or so the idea has been coming up to get some of those stories woven into these medieval style story-telling tapestries to decorate our beach house.
so, beach house for my fantasy football league, decorated with custom tapestries that tell some of our friend groups adventures and misadventures throughout college.

My wardrobe, probably. I've spent my whole life in thrift store, hand-me-down, giveaway clothes. If they're new, they came from the dollar store, the seconds store, or the clearance racks.
So I'd probably buy two of most of Modcloth's stuff, drop a pretty penny in tailoring it, and continue on from there. I'd love to have a style beyond "it fits".

I would buy as many properties in a town as possible, as an experiment. I would just keep buying and buying and buying and see how many properties I could buy before anyone important noticed.
I wager in the UK you could buy a small town without anyone noticing, through shell companies and subsidiaries, cash buyers etc, transfer of deeds.
I would also buy a ridiculously small football club and pump hundreds of millions into it and transform the club and local area, just for fun.
Additionally, I would build a University which teaches the art of brewing/distilling and fermenting, with some industry leading brewers as professors. It shall be known as Brewversity, or BruSchool or something to that effect. There will be slightly curmudgeonly butlers who discourage unruly behaviour but secretly help to organise parties.

After that I would start looking to where the rest of this cash could go to help others less fortunate. I would certainly setup my dream foundation for impoverished kids in England to go when the school holidays are around so they still get a square meal a day and have somewhere safe to hang out with friends.

I'd buy an unnecessarily large mansion with 20,000+ square feet, hire a small army of staff to keep the place clean and running, give it some cheesy name like Stoneridge Estate, and then spend almost no time there. The sole purpose of the house would be to throw lavish parties and impress people I don't care about. My other residences would be more manageable cozy homes with less than 4000sqf because screw having to go on a hike every time I need to use the bathroom or get something from my bedroom. Also being alone in a random giant house is depressing.

I'd pour a shit ton of money into building a self-irrigating machine to any singular African third world country with a desert climate. I'd fund their access to clean water, and hire only the finest of engineers, physicists, and mathematicians to figure out a way to control the country's general precipitation and humidity levels. In time, not only would this country have sustainable drinking water, but would also enjoy the ability to farm far more amounts of food for its people thanks to my ingenious and seemingly Christ-like weather machine.
When asked why I did it, I'll just say "I miss the rains down in Africa."

Okay so my wife and I have a plan for this (because it'll totally happen one day): first, we pay off all our debt. Then I pay off any of my graduated sister's debts from school, and then I set it up so my currently in-college sister doesn't have to pay anything else. Then we set up a college fund for my brothers and sisters when they get older.
Then we buy a couple of the multi-million dollar homes in the fancy part of town. We rent it out for next to nothing to our struggling friends and offer free room and board to homeless LGBTQIA youth and/or college kids who aren't safe at home. The other home we turn into a shelter for women and animals. Battered women stay for free, with their kids, and all they have to do is help with the animals. The kids can play with the animals anytime. A couple of live-in therapists help the women if they want it- no pressure.
Then we buy this massive apartment in her mom's building. We turn it into the library for all the books. We then buy literally every book we've ever wanted. I get my much needed dental surgery, wife gets to be put under for her dentist needs (she's terrified of the dentist) and we both wake up with our teeth fixed and chill in our library apartment until we're healed. We also buy the best computers we can find, pick our favorites, then give the others to people who need them- college kids, donate them to libraries, etc.
Then we buy a few apartments/houses all over the country. Rent them out when we're not there, turn them into shelters when we can. We take a really nice vacation, buy a plane, keep a pilot on staff, and settle down to be the eccentric lesbian billionaires with lots of animals and great teeth.

I'm a simple man.
I'd build a 4 bedroom house, with a sweet-ass home theater, an indoor/outdoor dog park for my puppy (and the 4 other dogs I'd end up getting), automate everything in my house, solar, geothermal, and build everything with the finest materials.
And the most important things for this house? EVERY electrical outlet would have a blank plate next to it. Behind that blank plate would be an empty box with conduit running to a central hub in the house (probably the basement), so at any point in time I could run whatever I wanted. Many people say that they would run CAT6, but what happens when CAT7 comes out? Or you need to run fiber to something? That ends up being a pain in the ass. So I'd run conduit so I can later easily run whatever the fuck I want.
I'd also buy a Tesla Model 3 (I'm not greedy) for my daily driver, and I'd buy an Aston Martin DB9 for my fancier needs. I'd hire a chef who would buy and cook my food, someone to do a thorough cleaning job, and someone to care for the lawn & garden.
The rest I would split: I'd create a trust for myself so I wouldn't have access to all the money all the time, but I would get a monthly "salary" to cover what I feel like buying, but all my bills (utilities, taxes, repairs, the staff salaries and their expenses, etc) would be directly pulled from the trust, so my actual "paycheck" from the trust would need to be minimal since it's basically my "lets go out to eat or buy this game, or buy this computer" money. This would keep me from over spending, and it would help reduce people trying to take advantage of my money. "Sorry, I literally can't just withdraws $100,000, I only get what I get paid each month."
Then once a financial adviser figured out how much I should put in there to be able to live and never have to work again if I don't want to, I'd put the rest into a foundation where people could write and apply for grants and a board of people who really know what they are doing would review and award grants as needed.

First of all, I would probably finish school. Get my degree, as I've only got two years left. Then, I'm buying an extravagant, lavish, insane house in the Northeast USA with a massive gaming room, 6 car garage, and extensive kitchen. I would keep my first car that I ever bought, for the sentimental value. I would invite friends and family over constantly. I would invest some of it, and spend some on small business ventures such as boutique shops that don't even have to be profitable. Also, I want to set aside 50-75 mil. for children's hospitals and the MDA.

The most excessive PC I could manage to piece together. Might need a mini think tank to help with that. Would probably have to buy out an ISP for decent download speed. Something to put Google fiber to shame but only for me, obviously. With that, I might be able to run PUBG on medium settings @over 40 frames...

Not a cyclist but safty is an issue where I live, have had a few friends hit while biking. That sort of shit needs to stop but our state is too lazy to really implement the safety features needed for cyclists. Also we hosted the world bike polo championship this year and the bike traffic stopped car traffic a few times. Gotta make that safer and keep the crappy traffic system we have moving, lest we get a bunch of angry men!

Initial the hiring process would involve a 90 trail period. After which, the candidate would be given the option to become a co-owner / operator provided that they signed a five year contract.

Several things. Iโd build my own gym, and while the construction was underway Iโd travel with my gf. Probably get married somewhere exotic. Definitely toss out all my clothes and buy a new wardrobe. Buy a house, get my drivers license, buy a car for me and the now wife. Pay off our debts. The rest would be invested wisely.

Buy a big ass house with a full size library. Let my wife decorate the rest of the house. Gut the library and make the most pimped out tabletop gaming room imaginable. Hire former Geek Chic craftsmen to build a giant custom game table and chairs, state of the art AV system, floor to ceiling bookshelves (with those damn book shelf ladders) full of board games. Secret bookshelf door to lounge/bar with big ass leather chairs.
Then basically never leave.

I'm really not one to waste money, even if I had the funds to do so. We'd probably pay off all the debt we have immediately (car loan + husband's student loans), pay out the rest of our lease where we currently live, and start scouting for real estate in a location where we want to live. After we built and moved into our dream house, I'd start buying new furniture and other stuff for the house, and kit it out exactly how we've always wanted. I'd probably also build smaller houses for my parents and in-laws to live in so we can care for them as they age.

I've always wanted a really nice home study. I'd find the most expensive, dark wood I can and make all the shelves out of that. The floors would be marble, with expensive rugs from all over the world. There would be a fireplace constantly roaring. The ceiling would be a dome with a live feed of what the stars look like above. I'd have some big ass crazy tropical fish tank. And I'd have some old ass books and shit, in like extinct languages that no one could read.

Found a bank here in Iceland (loan interests are about 4 percent for 40 year mortgage loans), on average people are paying 2-3x back of the initial loan and offer as many people as I can mortgage loans with preferably under 1% interests and close to no interest to young people due to the fact that young people in Iceland are stuck in their parents house until 30+ due to student loans. This isn't thought 100% through but I guess I could hire a good team for a small portion of the money.

It'd be in whatever area the family as a whole decided on. Enough land to justify owning and raising a few low-maintence farm animals, I'm thinking goats and chickens. Up-to-date vehicles for the family, and bye-bye debt.

I would find an area of land that had been deforested near a national park, and offer all the current farmers/home owners double the market value for their plots. Then I would bulldoze any buildings or man-made structures and hire an enormous team of locals to re plant all the land with native trees. I would have full time "park rangers" to prevent hunters, loggers, and smugglers. And I would draft an ironclad will to ensure the land would remain an untouched forest forever, setting aside enough money in a trust for the national park to take over operations and conservation after I die.
The luxurious part? I want a 3000 sqft house right in the middle, so I can watch my forest grow.
Minus the house in the middle and using a private fortune, this is essentially what Teddy Roosevelt did to create El Yunque National Park in Puerto Rico. Ever since the first time I traveled there, this has been my dream.

So not just the regular entourage things like Chauffeur etc.... but also more obscure and specific roles.
A Herald who would announce my arrival at all things. A DJ who would coordinate entrance music for me.
I'd want a team of hype people as well who would precede my entrance to places and stand among the people there talking about how awesome and important I am.
I'd also have a double who would actually attend all these functions in place of me.. because I don't really like people, and the last thing I want to do is spend extra time in large social gatherings.
So yeah i'd have a whole ridiculous group of people to attend things in my place that's way over the top.

You know that scene in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where Charlie and Mac go splurging with Frank's money on booze, hookers, fancy tuxedos and a limousine? That's exactly what I'd do.
My awesome wife gave me permission. I need to get that shit in writing.

After a new house I'd build a ridiculous library with hidden bookcase doors. Buttoned leather club chairs. In green. Two stories with a catwalk and those rolling ladders. Then first editions of all my favorite authors. And a sword made out of meteor.

Athleisure wear and kombucha. More than any human needs.
I'd buy a 4-bedroom brick ranch with a swanky deck for entertaining and a cozy porch for evening discussions. I'd have a glass-door fridge and keep it stocked with my favorite drinks (juices, kombucha, fizzy waters). I'd pay off all the debt in my family and my husband's and I'd enroll my puppies in the best training in town. And my husband would finally get the Subaru he's been eyeing since before we got married.

Let's consider this from a US Point of View
More than likely, the Federal Government would discover I instantly acquired $1,000,000,000 out of the blue if I spent so much money at once, and then I'd be in trouble.
So the thing I'd do is buy an immensely large house with a bank loan, pay off said loan, and if questions are asked as to how I attained my money, just go, "I got it from selling the house guys"

I would pay for going to medical school, since I missed out on the entry first time due to mental health difficulties. I figured I could then go abroad to say the US and that would be okay for me to drop out and then wait a year to apply. Then pay off my fees and living costs with the money. Then once I did that I would give it away to whatever charities I can think of.

Itd have a wide arcing staircase greet you as soon as you step through the massive double . Id have maquerade balls on new years, yule balls on christmasses, murder mystery events, and trick-or-treaters would run through a legit haunted house designed to scare the ever living shit out of them, at the end of which they would recieve one of those massive chocolate bars.

I would immediately do three things:
1) Buy my employer.
2) Buy a late 60's early 70's era muscle car, perhaps a Chevelle, and pimp that shit out - air scoop sticing out of the roof, spoiler, wheelie bar... all that sht.
3) I would buy the most powerful computer possible and stick it with... well, probably four voltrons assuming they were out already - otherwise 4 Titan XP's until the voltron is available.

Honestly, I'd just end up quitting my job and catching up on books I want to read. 'Catching up' just means read as much as I like with no end in sight, so that would probably last me for a month or two reading 800 or so books. Haven't been allowed to do that since high school, and I miss the simpler days. After that I'd probably get a job at a library, or a flower shop, and just relax doing simple work.

an all expenses paid cruise for friends and family, just get the whole ship for us, everyone gets their own suite.
All inclusive, so no one needs to think about spending anything, if they want a drink they go get one. If they want a massage they go get one.
Everyone can stay in a suite so they get a nice room.
and we don't have to worry about random people ruining the trip.

A few weeks ago, my husband, sister, and brother in law, went to a furniture store to buy my mom a recliner fir her birthday. After we picked out her chair, we were looki g around and spotted massage chairs. In the past, they weren't all that good. In fact, the bottom of the line chair felt like rolling pins pushing on my back. Then I tried the top of the line chair. It does everything! You put arms and legs in it. It tilts you backwards. It is heated and does from your neck all the way down. It even does your hips. It interfaces with your phone. It was bliss! My bastard of a brother in law took two turns while we were paying and setting up delivery. I miss that chair. I want it. I wish I had the cash for it because it is amazing! I would buy one so fast!

An apartment building with a fully equipped hackerspace, 2-storey loft apartments with garden balconies, each suitable for a small family, an extensive garage with full-size parking spaces, and a gym with space and equipment for a variety of activities such as parkour, jogging, archery, swimming, and various combat sports (muay thai, boxing, kickboxing, HEMA, wrestling, etc.) The gym and shop would probably take up the first 2-3 floors alone, and I imagine that above that would be 3-5 floors of 2-level apartments, depending on where it gets built. Machinery goes at the top level, so no penthouse suite. At-cost living for close friends and family.
Secondarily, auditing architecture and mechanical engineering courses at U of T.

I know this sounds ridiculous but.... I would buy a huge piece of land in most poor countries and turn them into safe havens for stray dogs. With people feeding and taking care of them. This is after of course I buy myself a house that has a huge basement and turn it into my own man cave.... actually I will be doing that next year, it will just be bigger that's all.

Giant playground for dogs with pools and sprinklers. And then build a giant housing unit for them. Iโd hire a staff of caretakers and then head to the local shelters and empty them out. Give all the unwanted dogs in KC a home and people to take care of them and love them. And I would spend my days with them.

I would get a plot of land away from people, but still near enough to a decent sized city where I could go in and enjoy the art and culture some days. Hopefully a few hundred acres but I would settle for much, much less so long as it had privacy.
Since we are being extravagant with our billions I would commission a cottage instead of buying one. It would look like it came out of a fairy tale, with a thatched roof, lots of curves, round windows, etc.
The inside of the cottage would look just as whimsical but in the construction would be very modern, clean, and energy efficient. It would have all mismatched cabinet doors and not a single dish in the house would match.
The library would be magnificent. I would collect thousands of books. The room would have a fireplace and comfortable wing back chairs to sit and read.
Iโd hire a full-time housekeeper and give them their own auxiliary house to live in somewhere on the land, far enough out and blocked off enough that we each still have privacy. Iโd do as many interviews as it took to find someone who is compatible with my lifestyle and who I get along with, and Iโd pay them very well.
Iโd spend most of my days building and maintaining a fantastic garden where everything is edible. In addition to the normal fruits and veggies Iโd tear out my grass and replace it with either mint, lavender, or creeping oregano. I would have flowers (edible ones) everywhere and Iโd let bees stay with me without bothering them for their honey. Iโd plant as many fruit trees as I could.

I think I'd pay people to do mysterious things, just to add a bit of intrigue into everyone's daily life.
Stuff like tagging the same elaborate, occult-looking symbol on buildings all over town, or hovering over downtown for a few hours a week in an unmarked, all black helicopter. Mint a bunch of coins featuring esoteric symbolism and some mysterious dude's face, and start leaving them around in parks, sidewalks, etc. Plant thousands of pot plants in the lawns of prominent politicians and business people. Start up a shortwave number station. Rent a dozen unmarked white vans and convoy around. Create a shell company with a generic and vaguely sinister sounding name (like "Wisteria Research Group" or "Syncorp Labs") and have them very quickly build a large, incredibly obvious antenna apparatus and never tell anyone what it's for. Tear it down overnight after a few months, sell the property and never explain anything to anyone. Hire calligraphers to hand write a series of books in an entirely made up language, then simultaneously sneak hundreds of them into libraries and used book stores. No two should be the same. Buy a nondescript warehouse, and hire conspicuous guys in suits and dark sunglasses to patrol the parking lot. They would be under strict orders to patrol in a really obvious pattern, and to leave gaps in their shifts just large enough for curious urban explorers to sneak in. The only light inside would be a single bare bulb dangling over an ancient leatherbound book on a stand in the center of the otherwise empty warehouse. The suits would be instructed to allow intruders to get almost all of the way to the book before chasing them out (naturally allowing them to narrowly escape capture).
Basically, I'd spend my fortune convincing random folks that they're in an episode of X-Files.

You know what? I'd probably just go to the best seafood restaurant in any city where someone I know lives. That's a little bit more adventurous.

i would not waste my money on anything lavish. I would be too anxious to sleep, knowing i could have done more. i would make sure i build a school and a hospital with the best of everything, in all and every poor location in the world. i would make sure children and adults can attend school and have access to clean water and basic health care needs, that we take for granted. :) yes i would definitely do that! And i think would sleep peacefully after that....and i would then plant trees, lots of them.

I'd build a giant circular plateau- something like 20m high and 1km in diameter and very slightly bowl-shaped. A tunnel would run underneath from ground level outside to the center of it, where there would be an elevator which takes you up to the surface and then lowers back flush with the ground. On the top would be nothing but a sea of soft green grass (I'm torn on which variety- St. Augustine? Zoysia? Ryegrass? Or maybe something tall enough to run my fingers through, like wheat? Or bluebonnets? Maybe every few years I'd till it all up and try something different).
Standing on top of it, it would look like you are all alone on a planet covered with grass. You could roll around, lie down and watch the clouds/stars, host picnics, play fetch with a dog, or whatever.
I'd probably keep it for myself until I die and create a foundation to maintain it as a public park thereafter.

I'll buy 2000 acres of land to build my personal forest. I'll dig some big ponds inside for rainwater harvesting. The forest will be populated with all kinds of exotic plants and animals. There will be no big dangerous animals like big cats, elephants or rhinos. Deers will be the largest animal there.
The forest will be filled with many types flowering plants. So, it will look unique in different seasons. The blooming forest will also be filled with different types of fruit trees.
There will be a forest resort with modern facilities in that jungle. There will be trekking routes too. The ponds will be interconnected by a deep canal. There will be solar powered boats too.
A team of qualified botanists, biologists and wildlife experts will look after it. There will be some forest guards too.

Buy up all the local tree farms and pay loggers not to clear cut. I would also hire people to watch the loggers to make sure they aren't clear cutting. Logging is important, but I'm so sick of them getting away with clear cutting while it's illegal. Also, force them to actually plant the trees afterward they are legally required to do per my state law. Seen dozens of clear cuts, never saw one with trees planted afterwards.
Actually, fuck logging, I'm going to buy politicians until the paper industry is mostly hemp. Logger employees get grants to start their own hemp farms or college or other training.

I would set up a foundation to award whistle blowers who expose government corruption at every level...and in connection with this, I would establish some type of game/awards show to thank each of the people who come forward.
First, with the foundation, I would hope to establish an endowment that would allow for continual awards to be issued. Hopefully, it would be possible to attract additional investment from the public and other high net worth individuals. The award amounts issued would be based on the relative position of the offender and maybe even the offense. For instance, if you're a local councilman who's taking bribes to award contracts, then your whistle blower might get a five or six figure award. However, if you're the ranking member of the Senate Intelligence committee and you're selling state secrets to a foreign national, then your whistle blower might be getting seven figures.
This process would incentivize doing the right thing. Maybe you're a staff member for a corrupt politician and it eats at you that your boss does such terrible things. We'll issue a cash reward once you expose their wrongdoing. And then...we'll have you on our show, where the viewing audience can "Supersize" your award, if they so please. First, it would be an opportunity to thank you for your courage and integrity, then, it would be a real-time 'gofundme', where citizens who support the actions of the whistle blower could throw in a few dollars. But, hopefully, our show would be so popular, that a few dollars multiplied over millions of people would make that person set for life.
My biggest fear is that this would eventually lead to people turning others in for trivial things, so there would need to be some stringent controls and oversight. The goal would be to focus on criminal matters and avoid moral issues, but I'm sure there would be challenges either way.

Waste because, I live in a country with free health care. I don't need to spend money to be healthy. But I never liked going to doctors, it's always a big hassle, and if you don't choose well you end up with a bad doctor that doesn't really help your situation (most doctors I've been to just tried to be done with me as quickly as possible). I can find good health care without needing money for it, but sometimes I wish the good health care would just come to me effortlessly.

Not extravagant, but Iโd buy the mtg power nine cards, a few modern decks and as many board games as I can find. I STILL havenโt played dark souls bg and I want to sooooo much! Also pay off my school loans and pay the remaining semesters myself. One of the things Iโm stressing out the most is that Iโm over-credit hours so idk if Iโm still going to get loans or if I have to pay from pocket. I wanna graduate soon but then I have to start paying back $20,000 and find a job that lets me do that and live comfortably. If I could go back in time I would either change my major earlier or dropout entirely. There are people w/o degrees that make more money than me or my mom. If I had a billion dollars I would be FAR less stressed and suicidal ๐

Other than that, something along the lines of "Patch Adams" and maybe a little farm of my own with a few honest ranch hands in need of a home/work... and an animal sanctuary.....

Immediate and Thorough healthcare for my friends, family, myself, my dead cat, my grandpa who died from alzheimers 3 years ago, healthy food and a great chef for catering for the rest of my life.... That should leave me with around 300 million after all the medical payments, catering payments, and Taxes on Wealth.
After th at I will reinvest 2/3 of my remaining cash, give my parents 25% in maximum untaxable amounts over the next couple years while buying them some personal gifts, give my sister 25% to invest in her future, and keep the rest for myself while buying my own p hone plan with none of my extended family whom I have not seen in over 10 years on my contacts list. Then I will avoid them on social media like the plague and opt to keep my phone and home out of white pages/yellow pages / public means of tracking me down. Then I will invest in a good boye that will protect me against thugs and get a conceal carry permit.

One of my favorite weird tourist attractions was a life-size replica of the terra cotta warriors is a suburb of Houston, TX. A bored Chinese multi-millionaire bought a giant tract of land and decided to build that replica in a random part of Texas in the 90's. It has shut down unfortunately.
But I would buy a giant tract of land in a random state and build a life-sized replica of something random.

A large circular room with a domed roof. In the center would sit the most comfortable swivel seat and voice controlled fold out keyboard, mouse, joystick, headphones, mic, and various controllers. The seat would be pneumatic and capable of rotation and reactive motion, like a ww2 gunner seat.
The room would be lined with seamless panelled monitors that can offer a 360 panoramic view from floor to ceiling. The panels would also be adjustable into multiple configurations. I would have every piece of equipment needed to play every video game on earth.
Internet connection? Blistering. Graphics? 60fps on every game. Clever engineering allows easy upgrades and everything is as forward compatible as humanly possible.

That would literally be the only thing I'd waste money on. Rest of it is going to pay off mom's debt/my debt and put her a nice house to retire in, buy myself a modest new daily driver to replace my currently dying car (probably get a civic or something) and sit on the rest doing some fun stuff here and there until I get too old to use the rest and donate it to charities for animals, disabled veterans, and kids with shit parents.

I'd rent out the concierge level building at Disney's Polynesian for a month and invite all my friends and family for a free top-of-the line luxury Walt Disney World vacation. I'd hire a private jet to take us down, limos to bring us to the parks (or convertibles/awesome cars to drive if that's what people want), flowers/food/toys in all the rooms. Everyone would get annual passes to the parks, the deluxe dining package, and full charging privileges so they could buy whatever tours, toys, souvenirs, and drinks they want. My friends could come and go as they pleased for the month. We'd just party at Trader Sam's and run amok in Epcot. While I was away, I'd have my new house constructed so that it was move-in ready (with all my stuff already unpacked and setup) when I got home. My husband and I would stay in one of the Disney Vacation Club bungalows with our dogs (we'd hire someone to house-sit the cats) so we could have some privacy. Our friends/family with kids would also get a bungalow so they could spread out.
Damn. Now I really wish I was rich so I could do this. BRB, buying lotto ticket.

Most of it would look like your average home aside from the kitchen, there I would go all in. Espresso machine, dishwasher, extremely high quality knives, other fancy machines, a kitchen island and so on.
I don't want to live an extravagant life, I want to live a simple life, but man, I do want a super-high-end-fancy-mega-holy-shit-kitchen.

There is a small farm near the farm i grew up on. The woman does nothing with the land, and she is getting older. She knows this and is trying to go out in style by selling her land as high as she possibly can. It is probably 80% higher than the actual value of the land.
I would totally buy it out, bribe spectrum to run cable the extra five miles to live there, and have my own small farm with an aquaponics greenhouse, a jersey cow or two, and a bison from the state wildlife board from their yearly auction.

Iโd buy this bar downtown. Itโs a cool enough place, but there are so many things that could be done better.
Iโd move one pool table to the other room where no one ever really is and put them side by side. Move the tables around and buy more so the giant semi-empty space where the one pool table used to just sit and eat up space could be used for more seating areas. Because when that place gets even a LITTLE busy there is NOWHERE to sit. Move the jukebox to the new pool room, too. Keep the smaller tables in the pool room but closer to the windows.
Utilize the second bartop in the pool room so you can actually order a drink from time to time when the waitstaff is bogged down. Also hire more bartenders and wait staff.
Add some sort of half-roof over the super cool back deck area as to not mess with the natural lighting but also make it usable when itโs raining or thereโs snow.
I could keep going on and on about this place. Every time I drink there at some point I start thinking about how much better it could be and itโs almost infuriating.

I would fund studios to design games and/or anime I want.
Actually, I would start an entire company to create original content catered to my tastes.
I expect to market and sell said products to keep the company afloat, but still... It would mostly be because I wanted them, not because I wanted to sell them.
Depending on how poorly my business does, I would expect to keep that going for at least ten years with > 1billion dollars, but games are expensive and if enough things flop that will go relatively quickly.
And so Brewster's Billions were spent.

I'd start a company that'd lobby the US government to spend less on military and more on humanitarian efforts, such as implementing a minimum income, instating universal health care, oh and maybe ending world hunger while we're at it. I'd use pretty much the entire 1 billion dollars (which I hope is enough) to fund this company, because literally noone who has 1 billion dollars deserves it, and leftover money will be used to buy myself a nice, but small and modest house and be donated to various people's gofundmes since we still live in an era where being alive is a luxury.
edit: looks like 1 billion is probably not enough :(. God I hate rich people.

I guess I have someone else fill it. But anyway there are some awesome looking libraries and having endless rows filled with books for myself of course with nice reading spaces. I guess I will add some living space somewhere no sense building an extra mansion if you are already building a huge library.
Aside from that I don't think I would be all that wasteful probably. Would probably feel obligated to get involved in some stuff for the good of humanity though.

I was recently working on a house on Jura, an island off the coast of Scotland, a millionaire hedge fund manager bought a 12,000 acre estate built a 2.5 million pound mansion, a golf course and a guesthouse on the estate. He plans to use it a few days a year when he wants to play golf on his almost private course (because you've to pay a million pound sign up fee and 50 grand a year membership after that).
So that's whit I'd do, build a big fucking house in loads of places and rarely use any of them because I just have too many houses.

Iโd also likely put a hidden cave halfway up that could only be reached by stopping the elevator at the correct height, and fill it with guns and supplies.

I would build a big haunted mansion. Then people can rent it for one night, but they're only allowed to go there alone and they mustn't bring anything except the clothes they're wearing and some food/drink. There won't be any actors or something like that, it's just the scary atmosphere and maybe some doors which suddently shut due to the ventilation. There wont be anyone else in a radius of a few kilometers. Of course there'll be surveillance cameras in every room.
They have to visit some checkpoints in the house multiple times during the night. When they succeed they get a cetificate or something like that.

I'd gladly use my PTO today first off. I'd go out tell my girlfriend callout of work too and spend an entire day out for us. Not tell her of the money not tell her of anything, just a great day of us. Nothing is the limit I'd tell her what ever she wants to do I'll pay for it. To end the day just buy a great steak, rice and salad dinner to make at home and just cuddle. Then spend the next days at work then repeat the process, continue living my life as a simpleton who spoils his girlfriend. When she finally asks how I am paying for it all I'll tell her she'll probably slap my chest and scream like Rick Flair when he is almost done with his matches then proceed to talk to me about how I got it. From there I'd gladly give her father the money to retire happily get a transfer from my job to where ever they want to go and we'll move there and live our lives. One day maybe in like another 10 years I'll finally retire from work and just live off the money from working, and of course the billion dollars.

Step 1: Make sure to not waste anything and save some to have the most comfy life doing jack sh*t.
Step 2: Get in lessons of all the hobbies I wanted to make and go do sports with top tier equipment. Horse riding, bikes, sword fighting, martial arts, piano, guitar, climbing, parachuting, scuba diving and everything I want. All with only 1 other person who is a professional and will teach me everything, no awkward social interactions, just learning stuff.
Step 3: Get an amazing small house, with every commodity any rich technician would have. And could act as a fort for the apocalypse. Yards, bunker, pool, a home AI. Everything in a warm ambient in a safe place, with a gaming room for everything. Oh and guns, John Wick style.
Step 4: Pets, lots of em. I want 3 alpacas, no more, no less. A German Shepherd, and a wolf. Yes, a wolf. Cute barbed lizards, best petting things you could have. Oh, and who could forget my noble steed, a brown horse called roach. For my horse riding needs?
Step 5: Tell everyone to fuck off, then hug em. My worst enemy wants to hit me? Fuck off and hug. With my guards anything is possible.
Step 6: Start contributing to many associations to help with climate change, world hunger, bees, etc. All the regular. Then invest in robot limbs to one day change one of mine for those, Deus Ex at its finest. And genetics to avoid aging, yeah I may die. But better to die having a fit body of a regular adult than an old man with health problems. This reminds me, investment in vaccines and stuff to not inject them in the future and being an oral stuff, I have a fear for syringes.
Step 7: Invest and study to get a job that could keep my spending away from my billion dollar left from everything behind. And finding some business another business practice to help increase my money a lot more. With that money, I will make more money, to live better.
If I ever have children I'll make sure to teach them how to be a good person. And they will live with commodities, but no billion dollar commodities. It seems extreme, but I'm not an asshole as far as I know and my kids won't be either. If I ever get a wife of course :(
Tldr; Make my life as better as possible, and make more money to make it even better

I'd take a loss on every car. But who cares? Even blowing through money like this I still couldn't spend it all in my lifetime, it would turn some town around economically, help out the restoration industry, and be great fun test driving all the finished cars.

A long time ago me and my friend had an idea of building a monorail track in the city we live in but instead of regular monorail wagons there would be just a small cart with comfy couch so we would be able to ride around city, have some nice views and smoke weed... So I would pursue my dreams and do that.

Host a big show with my favorite barbershop quartets, paying each of them a million dollars (perhaps more) to prepare songs of my choice for the show, followed by fantasy quartets of my own design composed of AIC/top ten members. Then donate several million to Harmony Foundation, and buy a lifetime membership in the BHS. Then probably go on a trip around the world to sing with every chorus in the society to give myself some perspective on the barbershop style.

LordKilgar ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:32:26 on November 1, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
property.
I will explain.
I very much like where I live, and while I wouldn't mind moving some short distances, in order to afford anything remotely approaching my own place I'd have to move pretty far right now.
So, with the sudden influx of money the first thing I would do is purchase a nearby lot that has been empty and abandoned for the past... 10 years at least, and I would then proceed to take all the steps necessary to turn it into a 6+ story building with 2 floors of commercial space (likely resulting in 4-8 store spaces, at least 2 of which I would want to be A.) a gaming store and B.) a food item story (likely esoteric and hard to acquire ingredients for the foodie crowd)), and 4+ floors of luxury condo space. The roof would have an open garden predominantly made of shade loving plants to make up for the fact that it will also have the densest solar coverage I can put on it. In truth this is mostly so I can have a proper brick oven for breads and pizzas...
ANYWAY! because that endeavor would be mostly in self interest (and the interest of my friends), and would be a kinda silly expense (like $100 million or so), I would also want to make sure I was doing good with my money as well, so I would specifically seek out other areas in need of construction and try to design low income housing with 2 primary things in mind 1.) reducing maintenance costs and 2.) self sufficiency. So They would be nice apartments built to require as little maintenance as possible (even if this is much more expensive when building them), and hopefully get all it's power from low maintenance renewables built into the building, as well as be designed to be cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter. Roughly the idea being, pleasant, comfortable places to live at fairly low rent, that have utilities included and are still a sustainable model. I'd consider this money written off, and keep the rent as low as possible so it just covered things like taxes and insurance, not looking to make a profit off the property.
I'm a fool, I'm sure my money and I would part quickly... Though I have to say I'd likely attach about $2 million to each of the luxury condos to just be put away to accrue interest that can hopefully cover any taxes on it, so at least I'd have a place to live in roughly perpetuity.

Then I'll come back home, set up some accounts and small businesses to diversify my income, build an underground cabin in the woods/mountains, and use it as a springboard/homebase for humanitarian and philanthropic work because after my survival/comfort needs are met, I don't see the need for excessive funds like that.

Pick a ugly, blighted neighborhood and make it over into a green tree city like the kind I grew up in without kicking out residents. Also fund the school until it was On par with the best. Then see what happens. I believe we need to provide ecosystems for humans. How cool to be able to try out some ideas. No lead in water, urban small farms, vertical greenhouses, solar and geothermal, buried utilities lines, halve the housing and creat clusters with open green surrounding, free daycare and tutoring, art and craft center, music center, until I have spent it all but enough to retire on then move in and work as a teachers aid in the awesome science lab the great school would have. What A blast to try out some ideas of what I think a healthy town does for children. The most extravagant nursery/garden/rehabilitation /rescue center ever built. I would travel a little too. Lol You said billionaire, but you did not say how many billions, but I would try like hell to spend it all before I died.

Have a huge bathtub so I can still do what I do now which is take baths and procrastinate and think, drift away. I would also make a rain shower on the whole ceiling of a steam shower. Have a sauna and hot tub get away room. I like my alone time very much.
I wouldn't work. I would just do things online and do maybe little side things. Just like I do now except I would be a billionaire and never have to worry about money or how to live paycheck to paycheck.
I am already content with myself and pretty at one so the money would not corrupt me. I don't care for having power tbh. I just want to live my life and want my things and that's it.

Depends on your currency. A billion rupiah isn't worth enough for what I want to do. Lets say a billion USD. Half a billion goes into a long term interest account managed by some kind of fund manager. The interest will pay off my living expenses so I can do what I want to do without interruption. The other half goes into buying large apartments and houses around the city center, renovation and management to run a private housing scheme to house homeless people. Would probably need to hire a smart person to manage everything and also refine the idea but that's what I would do if I were a fraction of Bill Gates.

I would buy a nice big patch of land in Colorado, somewhere on the way to Estes Park, but not quite so high up (so the altitude thing wasn't as much of an issue). I want somewhere with a gorgeous view of a valley and some mountains. I'd buy the valley too.
Then, on this patch of land looking over a valley, I would build a home that was a replica of the apartment from Mass Effect 3's Citadel DLC, with the giant glass wall looking out over the valley. I'd make a few small modifications to the floorplan, mainly to expand it and add some new features, as well as adding a 5-car garage and all the outdoor comforts such as swimming pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen, etc.
I'd then pay to have fiber-optic internet connections set up, as well as installing Tesla's home batteries and a solar panel array on the roof. Similarly, I'd tap into the natural water spring that I made sure was nearby so that fresh water is constantly available, and while the water is fresh and clean to begin with, I'd still insist on a purification system being installed in case the water source becomes contaminated at some point.
And boom. I'd have the perfect retreat that has its own water and electricity needs covered, a blazing fast connection to the outside world for when I want to use the internet, and all the comforts of a lavish, modern home with the breathtaking views and charm of the wild mountains.

This won't exactly qualify for 'extravagant', but imma share it anyway. I wouldn't tell anyone, and make sure only my lawyer does. I would keep it all safely away, accumulating interest.
I'd try to lead the most normal life. Go to university(not in US), work a part time job and study. If there's even a small hole in my finances, I would fill it up, but otherwise, I'd try not to touch it.
Make friends, become a functional adult and grow up. Then, if a family member/friend genuinely needs help, I'll send them a good amount of money discreetly and in such a way that they don't know who the sender is.
Someone has cancer and their spouse needs help financially? Boom, you can rest moneywise and focus emotionally on your loved one. Behind on rent and utilities and almost about to crash after doing a crap ton of part time work because you can't find a real job? Boom, have some cash, give yourself a break.
Oh and as far as my life goes, I'd pursue a job which I like. Shitty boss who thinks that I depend on the money of the job I am in and I would do anything to not get fired? Welp, dumbass, take my damn resignation. Oh and if I do get married, I wouldn't tell my wife either.
It's like living a normal life, but without half the anxiety.
Tl;dr: Live a normal life and give money to those who really need it without revealing to them that I am a billionaire.

Of the 1,600 or so Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standards built between 1958 and 1960 only four of them were left handed.
For the longest time, only two had been known. One in a private collection and one owned by Paul McCartney.
Recently, the other two were found. One sold at auction I think and another was trying to sell to McCartney.
I would buy one of those guitars... shouldn't cost more than half a million dollars.

That thing is my dream car and last time I checked (a year ago) they were going for about 25 grand. In fact, I could spend all of that money on the above (barring the investments) as well as restore my current car, buy my previous two cars and restore them, and buy the properties my family used to own (a home on the south side of town, a home on the east side of town, two homes in the middle of town) and restore all of them and barely scratch 2% of that.

I would buy land in some usually sunny location in the countryside, prefreably in California or Colorado. There I would build my dream home. Most impotantly would pay for fiber internet to be piped to the location. Next I would build a solar array and sufficent battery storage so I could sustain the property and even sell back extra power in times of excess. I would also have green houses and/or fields growing various friuts and vegetables and of course a few plants of marijuana. As far a house on the property, I only have one specific requirement, a rooftop hot tub, so I can get in it at night and gaze at the stars.

Then wed all go for a nice drive in our personal cars of choice (anything from classics to hyper cars to luxury or even race cars)
And after that, well fly to my personal tropical paradise island and have a party with huge ammounts of high class escorts and (soft) drugs on the beach and then transition onto the yacht as it gets late. Where we will continue partying with live music from our favorite musicians (and kanye west just cuz)

No advertising or political bias, only relatively short, precise eli5 pieces covering how money flows through corporations, governments and individuals to shape our society. No idea how to best stream or broadcast the information, but thatโs beside the point.

I'd love to buy a motorhome someday... As a billionaire, I could buy a really fancy one...
Also, as a ham radio operator I find myself considering just exactly how much money I would spend on radio equipment for my hobby.
If I had the money to blow, I could probably easily spend $10,000 or $20,000 on top of the line, brand new ham radio equipment.
Edit: I could see myself spending the money philanthropically, too. Buy school supplies for kids in my home state, maybe pay off every kid's lunch debt in the country. Build a better house for my parents; they deserve it. I mean, we're talking billionaire here, not just millionaire.

I've thought about this a few times before. I would buy a corner shop/small convenience store, and call it "I'm an arsehole". Every item would be really expensive. Not expensive luxury items though. A can of baked beans for ยฃ389.99. Frosties are four hundred quid a packet. Bottle of milk? ยฃ9k. But the price tags would be really small, so people would come in an pick up a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread (ยฃ4 million) in the morning, take it to the checkout, and then I'd laugh at their shocked faces when the price popped up on the register.
"That's ridiculously expensive!"
"Yep. If you can't afford the items please place them back on the shelf and fuck off."

I would love to have an epic treasure hunt. For a billionaire, it would be nothing to stash away like $10million. That's enough money for people to dedicate their lives to finding. I'd hide clues all over, plant red herrings, leave little pockets of $1,000 here and there as mini-game rewards. The main prize would be hidden away in like some old Canadian fishing cabin only accessible by ice road or boat and even then you'd have to have found the correct place on the property to dig AND have the key (and know how to use it) that unlocks the vault. I'd structure the whole thing as much like a video game as possible. I figure total investment including the necessary staff, land purchases, construction, fabrication of artifacts...$50million. So afterward I'd be a $950millionaire. Worth it. Especially since the first clue will require all searchers to wear a gopro and record their journey (it won't ever come up again, but they won't chance it and will record it anyway.)
Then i'm going to edit together everyone's footage and all the adventures and make a movie. Back to billionaire.

I'd go back to my old public high school in rural Tennessee. Its theatre program currently gets no funding (they have to fundraise themselves) because all the school district's money goes to sports. I would build the theatre program a brand new facility complete with shops, offices, dressing rooms, fly house, expensive consoles, gear, and staff TD/ME/designers to show the kids how to work on everything and help out with productions. Employ them year-round, plus some office staff to book concerts and the like over the summer. Offer students summer work part-time learning rigging, lighting, etc. Pour whatever money is left into a grant program to pay staff salaries for the next few decades. Show everyone (kids, admin, teachers) just how lucrative and varied the performing arts can be, and why it's a more sound investment for kids' futures than goddamn football.
Oh, and I'd set aside a chunk for the current teacher. Bump her salary up to what she deserves (she does just about everything technical for the program, directs every show, and orchestrates fundraising for no extra pay), and secure her a cushy retirement fund. She's worked her tail off for over a decade getting a shitty salary and no appreciation - just for the kids, just because she loves the art. I don't know anyone who deserves it more.
TL;DR: I'd fund the shit out of the theatre program at my old public school, to show them how awesome and lucrative the performing arts can be.

The house would be rediculous, but not gross. 4 car garage, and above the garage a home gym and Dojang. A library room. And a dedicated gaming room, likely in the basement, with consoles, multiple networked PC's, a nice gaming table, all with extra sound proofing so my wife doesn't have to hear gaming happening.
2- Trust funds for my kids, and a few other kids, mostly my friends kids. My brothers kids too.
3- Establish a fund that would pay for all children in my community to be able to attend college in state at no expense to them. Sign up, send paperwork in, the fund pays all your tuition, books, and a modest living expense until you get your degree.
My gaming PC would be godly, however.

I would buy out all of the decrepit buildings in my city, and either fix them up into single family homes, or level them and make mini-parks that are a square of grass with a picnic bench, canopy and in-ground grill. I would then donate those to the city, while the houses I would sell to middle class people who can afford them at a discount (as opposed to what my city is doing - reserving them for lower class people too poor to actually afford house + maintenance). The intent in this case would be to draw people with money back to the city.
I would do the same with downtown, giving the building for free to businesses that wish to move out of the local mall and back to the downtown area.
My city's downtown was wiped out after a flood in 1972. Most businesses moved to a mall just outside the city and killed the city itself, for the most part.

Restore a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Aire convertible for myself. Brand new Cadillac for my mom. Purchase houses in New Jersey, New York, LA, and Colorado. Hire Mario Dedivanovic as my personal makeup artist. Hire Action Bronson as my personal chef and blunt roller. Hang out with Snoop Dogg, Halsey and Jennifer Lawrence all the time. Go shopping with Kim Kardashian (I just feel like that woman knows how to shop, you know?). Be a producer on a Richard Linklater movie. Start second company that coordinates comic book, video game and cosplay conventions. Take money made from businesses, donate half to charities of my choice, and invest the other half so that my future spawn will have nice nest eggs. sigh One can dream.

For you see, I became allergic to cheese about 8 years ago. All other dairy is okay including cream cheese, yogurt, etc. But now if I eat as much as 3 bites from a slice of pizza I'll be vomiting in about 15 minutes.
Now I'm not out for revenge on the whole cheese eating world, but just my friends, who, after all this time, STILL make the goddamn "OH AND A PIZZA WITH EXTRA CHEESE FOR DCOBLE" comment every time we order food... Sons. Of. Bitches. I'd have my sweet revenge, and I would bask. BASK!!!!

Sounds stupid, but I would go out to eat at places like Chillis, Applebees, IHop....etc, and I would ask every waiter I have what they would want to be/do with their life if money was no object. If I believe they are passionate about their answer I would pay my bill and leave a check behind, in their name, with an amount I believe would cover everything they needed (rent for a couple of years, bill coverage, schooling, materials, etc) for the next few years.
If they had a business idea I could get behind I would ask them if they needed a partner. I would pay them a wage till the business was profitable and I would cover all the costs of running the business. I would make us 50/50 partners.
If they wanted to pay for medical bills of a loved one, or something like that, I would cover the cost and I would throw a but extra in to help alleviate the stress in their life.
I think it would be a blast helping people who end up getting over looked a lot.

I'd buy a house in the city. Then I'd buy a home for a each of a few friends and loved ones, just so they could live a life mortgage and rent free.
Then I'd start a local program for the unemployed, homeless and at risk.
I've been homeless, although not street homeless. It's rubbish, and the challenges are often simple, and not the things you think. So the program would teach some basic skills that it's easy to miss, such as basic computer literacy. It would also provide temporary housing, so you have an address to use when applying for jobs. It would then provide interview training, basic office attire, haircuts etc. Childcare would also be involved.
The idea is it would get a person to a point where they are able to apply for, get and hold down a job, pay bills and live.
I'd also buy a lot of guitars and drums that I can barely play.

Pay off the damn student loans first thing. Itโs sad that at 40 thatโs the first thing that comes to mind!
Then Iโll set up my parents in an enormous, staffed estate so they can quit their jobs and enjoy their grandkidsโor not. Haha. Iโd buy my dad nice hearing aids.
So much travel.
Hire a companion for my elderly dog so she is never alone and always has someone to throw her ball (she would be stressed if she had to leave home every day with me). Our new home would have ample floor to ceiling windows so she can bark at squirrels to her heartโs content.
There are so many people Iโd want to secretly surprise with gifts of...whatever they need. Iโll need a PI to find out what would make their lives better!!
Fun! Iโll enjoy thinking on this all day

If it has to be considered a waste, then a wardrobe update because I seriously need one. Not need as in to live, obviously, but I have a lot of stuff that doesn't fit right anymore or has damage (those items I would repair if possible). Doesn't do to be uncomfortable in ill fitting clothes or to look kinda shabby versus wearing a really small selection of the same shit all the time and for limited types of occasion (all my smart office wear is too small now and I don't really have any formal wear at all).
If I personally don't consider it a waste then I'd pay off all my debts (big for me now but tiny if I were that rich) and buy my parents some land on which I would commission their dream home. It would be a very extravagant purchase but to me is not a waste at all. They deserve it.

Lot's of people wont like this but I would find an area in the far suburbs where they were planning on building a catholic church and instead pay to have an old one from a nearby city that was no longer being used and have it dismantled brick by brick and rebuilt where it was needed.
I absolutley hate seeing old churches being torn down. I am not super religous but I know that those beautiful old churches were built by people who thought they would be there forever and put a lot of time and effort into making them stunning structures. New ones are kind of bland (as is most modern architecture).

Make a gym in said new house and hire a personal trainer.
But a city block in the central area of the city, take down everything and build a new structure there, move my stores into a single place.

I love how, when you wander around Europe, there are various castle ruins on miscellaneous hilltops or buried in the forest. North America is seriously lacking in crumbling stone ruins.
So I'd buy land in various places around the country without building codes and build stone castles using ancient methods, just so I could abandon them to the ages.

I'd do something really retarded, Keep like 10 mill for drugs and hookers and the rest of the billions I would use to stimulate local economy with like 100 year plans of farms around the world that produce food to countries in need so they have atleast something for 100 years and maybe by then enough people will invest in the idea so that it can continue and spread to more poor places in the world like Africa etc, ofcourse this accompanied by water and ways to get some permanent clean water supplies or for as long as my billions last, then after I spend all my billions I go on TV and call out everyone on the Quote 500 to be an absolute greedy cunt if they don't do the same, now I still have 10 mil for the lawsuits and I'm not going to live long with all the hookers and drugs anyway, Damn I would be a great billionaire.

If I got billions, the first thing I'd buy would be land. Couple acres, somewhere flat near deep water, with a cliff.
A small house/recording studio.
I'd then buy an odessy 2, and a copy of odessyEVIL!
Then custom build 2 vehicles.
The rest would go to the bank.
Also long billion (million million) or short billion (thousand million)

One escort would be on all 4s on a skate board bent over with a tooth brush in her butt sticking at bristles facing me. Two other escorts would then push the skate board back and forth to simulate the motion of brushing. I would just need the brush to stick out enough to reach my mouth as I move my head to get all of my teeth, all the while having that marvelous ass bump up against my face every time we pass.

Then I would fill it with real treasures and traps, and bury/abandon it for the rest of my life, only leaving some vague hints in my dying words or will of the existence of "something strange" I saw on my land.

We'd be self reliant on renewable energy sources, which would be also our #1 export but we also have the ability to have these technologies self destruct on our command somehow, though I haven't thought that far ahead yet.

Iโd give it to our local school district, with the stipulation that teacher salaries go up and the โno child left behindโ shit is gone for good.
Then, Iโd have stipulations about how the money can be used in the lower-income community to fix homes and cover childcare for everyone who needs to work or go to school (but it would be better than the current system).
Once our school district was better, more families with disposable income would be likely to move here into one of the many historical homes that need updating. Itโs a beautiful small town with wonderful people, but the school district and demographics are in a never-ending downward spiral. Itโs maddening!
Also, chef/personal trainer (who literally makes me get up and workout every day)/full time photo editor/office assistant/all the photo gear I want (because I love my job too much to ever stop working)/Long vacations around the world with husband, our kids, and both of our sets of parents and siblings.

I'd anonymously buy a small town, pay actors to live in said town under the premise of filming an actual real life Truman Show, and then I would be Truman. The pay would be significant, but with the exception that you don't get paid until after filming and not at all if you reveal the secret. I would then live my life in a way that I'm always almost exposing the secret forcing the actors to try even harder to keep it secret.

Have a special soundproof, lightproof room built with HD screens for walls and a sound system that is better than anything that has been invented yet.
In the middle is an anti-gravity haptics harness. You get in, you pick a song or songs you want to listen to, a theme for visuals and you experience the song with your hearing faculties, your vision and physical sensations.
Naturally the room could also be used for gaming, as a home theater, simulations, etc.
A pet favorite of mine would be to come in to โthinkโ. Motion and gesture recognition built in, so you can come and spatially organize your thought process and make decisions. You can โflingโ a thought or concept from one wall to another, you can pack certain ideas or brainstorming into one โSymbolโ and you can expand it when you need the reference. You can organize your thinking and decision making in a way that is most natural to you, with help from the machine learning that picks up on your style and adjusts to you.
I would also get a team of researchers, scientists, engineers and analysts to develop concepts and technologies that donโt exist yet or seem impossible, like this room I mention.
The goal would be to make it mass-producible and easily acquired by any average person.
(Other interests include things like molecular manufacturing, companies that โdisruptโ megacorps that exploit their customers, a secure electronic voting system that allows each personโs vote to actually be counted and be represented.)
And much more. I would radically change the world to something better, as much as I could, because f*ck it. Iโm a billionaire. What else is there to grow towards from there?

Establish a mandatory UBI for low income families, and bribe, eh ehm, I mean lobby the representatives of those areas to pass laws regulating employers to pay their employees a fixed percentage of their overall profit after overhead to stay consistent with inflation.
Then hire hundreds of attorneys to help people declare bankruptcy, default on all loans, and give them a decent cash salary dependant on the amount of people in each household.
Maybe start a new political party which I am in no way publicly or digitally (paper) related to that aims to regulate the "free market" by mandating executives and shareholders earning $500,000+ to give their employees a salary consistent to 80% of their own salary. Goal 2 would be to decommission every central bank and leave the control of money in the governments hands so long as 90% is returned to the people in forms of education, infrastructure, public works, etc. Begin manufacturing on U.S. Soil, increase world exports, then slowly lower the defense budget, while offering plans transitioningโ defense contractors, to manufacture heavy duty industrial vehicles instead of military weapons/vehicles/planes. Take the defense budget down to 300 billion per year. Leaving an extra 300 billion to determine a way to remove fiat currencies from existence, and have our paper backed by a consistent value good, such as going back to the gold standard, and hope the EU doesn't ask for it back.
Then get assassinated by southerners and midwesterners for ruining democracy...I mean a republic with an appearance of a democratic republic. Or probably killed by shareholders of the Federal Reserve.

I would definitely buy a house, but that's not entirely lavish. The lavish thing I would buy would be my NEIGHBOR's house, which I would quickly tear down and covert to a private dog park and catio.

Not necessarily lavish but perhaps petty; Iโd sink tens to hundreds of thousands to fight this debt collection agency that erroneously tried to collect $1000 from me and made my life hell, rather than just paying the grand to make them go away. Neither action would really make a dent in my wealth but it would be so satisfying.

I'd buy a store front and a house so that I can move my business and self out of my parent's house. I'd then split the money up into many different bank accounts. All the interest would go into a new bank account that I would live off of.
I wouldn't have to worry about not getting injections I need to walk. I could help get my aunt the treatment she needs to fight her cancer. I could help my neighbor who has MS. I could donate constantly to shelters and support centers of all kinds. I could help my get my brother his own house. I could fund a small community theater.
If I had a billion dollars I'd finally be able to sleep.

Honestly, nothing. While I enjoy being comfortable, anything too ridiculous makes me feel really uncomfortable. Even just being in a rich neighborhood or visiting a wealthy school like UW makes me want to leave.
But, as a major college football fan, I would probably first pay off college, then donate a few million to the Mountain West to take UIdaho, UMontana, and Montana State.
Iโd make the world look a lot closer to what I want it to look like.

A private jet. I'd have a large, but not ridiculously massive sized house; the kind most moderately wealthy people get (the only difference is I'd put it on a few acres -none of that gated community living for me). I'd have nice, but not extravagantly expensive cars (where am I going to drive a Ferrari? To CVS?). I'd take nice trips to places, but I'd stay in nice, out of the way hotels and houses because I like seeing the countries I visit -not the insides of hotels. I'm not into yachts, I don't want my own island, I don't need a dozen different homes (when you're that wealthy you can afford to rent anyplace you want anywhere, so why go have the hassle of owning any place you aren't living most of the time?
But a private jet . . . I've been lucky enough to fly private twice in my life (my old company had a corporate jet and I got to ride with the big shots on two business trips). The difference between flying commercial and flying private is like the difference between taking the bus and having your own car. It's unreal how bad the commercial flying experience is and most people don't even realize it, because they have no other viable options.

I would build a large cylindrical hotel of sorts, that had a sunlit elevator in the middle. Each floor would be custom made to the likings of each of the families in my family tree, and a few friends. The hotel would be semi-self sustaining in that it would recycle all water and waste to be used in an organic, rooftop hydroponic garden, and would all run on wind and solar power. Everyone would pay for their own personal expenses, but the house and utilities and whatever food we could produce would be covered. I just wanna live a fairly decent life surrounded by all the people I love. Itโd be like a communal existence that also allowed for privacy and personal space when desired. Having the ability to see all the people I love at any time is the height of luxury to me.

See, this would sold a lot of problems for me- my first thought wouldnโt be anything lavish, it would be getting rid of my debt and my motherโs debt (some of which is my stupid assโs fault) and I would try to make my Grandparents more comfortable and then go pay off my boyfriends house or car, whichever he was most comfortable with. To me that is pretty lavish-
But then I would also want to buy the cosplay gear I want for Geralt of Rivia, custom made for my fatass and most likely a nice house with a fence for my dog.
I donโt want for much, Iโm pretty simple in my needs-
But I really want to dress up as Geralt of Rivia, dress my dog like Roach, and do it in my own back yard and possibly convince my boyfriend to cross dress as Yenifer for an evening.

Create a bathing room. Just for taking amazing baths.
The most luxurious tub I could find that's big, but not mammoth. Infinity style so I can soak up to my eyeballs if I want. Has all the bells and whistles. Bubble jets. Massage Jets. A dedicated on demand tankless water heater.
I'd need a separate dedicated water tap within arms reach that producers ice cold drinking water.
A whole wall stocked like a Lush and similar high quality goods. Bath bombs, oils, melts, bubbles, salts, soaps, scrubs, lotions, face masks, candles, you name it, all in multiple scents to choose from of course.
The room would have dimmable lighting with multiple colored LED options. Sound system. Hidden tv. Fireplace. Adjustable thermostat. All of those would need to be voice controlled.
Large super plush & absorbent towels & robes. Alternatively silk robes too.
Heated Floors, obviously.

Assuming I still had money incoming, I'd buy a huge portion of land and put some houses on it, have a wall put up around the whole place and a McCastle built as well. I'd live the rest of my life as a King with the tenants as my nobles and subjects. My security team will wear armor and carry swords and spears, there will be some farm plots for people to grow crops, a little village with available store space for anyone who wants to open a business. It'll be open to the public from 6-10 (2am) for any taverns. But this will not be some kind of crazy compound where people have to worship me, I swear.

Personal servants for everything.
I like my job (mostly self-employed), but it involves a lot of driving: chauffeur. And a secretary and accountant while I'm at it. Maids to keep my house tidy. A personal assistant to retrieve anything I want or need, from a pair of socks upstairs to "you know that tea place, the one with the flavoured strawberry-blueberry thing? Go get me one of those.". Personal chef.
I consider myself pretty independent, but I like to dream about such a pampered life.

I would buy this old theater back home that was built in like the 30s-40s, just so I could make sure it never closes down. I'd keep it in the same style, maybe refresh the interior but keep it in it's classic look. And I'd screen indie films and classics, not just new blockbusters that have been out for a while and are like a week removed from being out on DVD. I'd host film seminars and discussions and whatnot for film buffs, and it'd be a great hub of all things film for my small community. No one would probably come, but it would be there and exist.

I would immediately pay off all of my parents debt. Mortgage, car payments, student loans, all of it. Then I would buy their home (Iโm still in school so I live here too) and demolish it and build their dream house. I would give each of my siblings $100 million and would proceed to clean up my home town. I would restore historical landmarks, donate to volunteer firefighters and first responders to provide new equipment, provide funding for those less fortunate to be able to afford water, heat, clothes, food, etc. Finally I would buy myself a couple new outfits and some shoes and then put my money away to be used once I finish college. I would always keep enough money to pick up the tab at dinner with my friends and would help them out if they ever needed it. I donโt want to be an โIn your faceโ billionaire, but rather be very low key and just keep living my life and see where I end up and who I end up with.

A doctorate in Art History.
I say this mainly because despite being an artists and having my BFA, I'm absolutely shit with art history and it would take me decades to get my degrees. Once I got them, my specialization would also be so niche that the only jobs I would be qualified for would be small curatorial positions at government owned parks. So I would likely be spending several hundred thousand dollars with no income over probably...15 years? In order to get a job paying maybe 50-60k tops.

This may sound a bit stupid, but build a third hockey arena for my city. We have one of the nations biggest youth organizations and they have have access to about 1,5 rinks since they have to share one of them with the figure skating club, which is also quite big.
I would hate it if my kids would have to grow up loving hockey and they can't get to play it because the city is poorly connected to the youth sports movement. The sports has grown immensely in popularity over the last couple of years and we need more ice for them to practice on.
The mens team is doing alright this year, I don't think they need more sponsoring really so I'd sponsor the women's team. I'd love for them to get a proper chance to get to the SDHL. Also, inspire my daughter to excel in hockey or whatever she chooses. We need more female role models in sports.
I'm not sure what I would name the arena, but I guess after one of our bigger players through history? For some reason Ice Palace might not be the best of names, but it does have a certain ring to it.

I think it might be interesting to just buy one of those incorporated towns that are dead. Then set up infrastructure, hospitals, good schools, and a couple of factories. Because only financial balance and not profit are money considerations, the motive is to provide good jobs and the side effect are products and services. These products and services still have to compete or go out of business, to make sure there's still some development in better products and services.
While all of this seems altruistic on the surface, the true purpose is to build a culture of humanity that will endure through the ages. That, and as soon as spacefaring technology is mastered humanity can simply just move instead of fighting over a tinier and tinier planet, all the while giving Earth an insurance policy over some of the species on it. Yeah...that sounds like it could be fun. Might need to be a quadrillionaire for something of this scope, though..

Sheโd train up in handgun combat and several martial arts as well as defensive driving and racing techniques. While she works her way through law school or nursing school or whatever part time she would be my driver and my personal assistant. She would dress in a conservative uniform of black skirts and business tops and sensible but nondescript shoes in case she needs to break in to action at any point.
There would be no romantic relationship there but people would wonder. And she would always precede me into a room and people would fall silent because they knew the time for chit chat and general fuckery was now over and some shit was going to get done.

I would rent a large vacant lot for more then they are asking with the stipulation that they cannot ask what it is going to be used for. Then I would have wrecked a large tarp at least four or five stories high. Then I would erect a secondary tarp on the outside edges acting as a fence. I would have security patrol between the two tarps. And have people walking in and out and full Hazmat gear. Once they were inside they could relax watch TV play card games or whatever but then they could leave after a full 8 to 12 hours. They would be hired on the stipulation that they were not allowed to say anything about what was going on inside. They would also be given a bonus of five or $10,000 if they were able to keep what was in side secret for a year.
Then I would install a bunch of cameras on close buildings and just see what people do.

There's a former eye hospital in a city near me that I used to drive past on my way to work. It's a lovely old brick building but since the eye hospital was moved to the main city hospital building it has become run down. I'd buy that and do it up as a community space with studio space local artists could use for like a quid a month.

Probably a brand new car if Iโm honest.
I drive a 20yo beater with no AC, rust, weird unexplainable (to every mechanic Iโve taken it to) noises, dinged windshield, dents from the deer running into it, hates cold, tufts of orange insulation everywhere, and I just had to pilfer my passenger side sunshade because drivers side broke.
My next car will be used.
I want heated seats, heated steering wheel, auto parallel parking, GPS, remote start, rear view camera, satellite radio....the works!
I would research luxury brands, go to the nearest dealer, walk around drinking champagne (cause Iโm sure thatโs a thing), and be like โI want that one, you take checks?โ
God I want a new car.

I know im late to this but, I would invest 900 million of it, in multiple things, some in high yield investments, and other lower yield stuff thats safer. That way i can make more money of the billion. Id make at least a couple million a year, and not have to worry about money for the rest of my life. Then with the 100 million i have left, 10 million goes to my father, 10 million to my uncle, 15 million total to my 3 brothers, which leaves me with 65 million left. I would get really nice computers, both macs, windows and linux. Then i would just start tinkering with random electronics, and playing with cool stuff like that. Id be set for life.

Build a house, more like a small skyscraper, that's way too tall for my village just so I can have a nice view. The highest thing here is probably an old tree.
And I won't put any other apartments in it for other people to live in because that's my damn house. Maybe my family can have a floor or two.

House for myself and husband. House for my parents and house for my brother and his family as well as my husbandโs brothers and their families. Nothing extravagant. Just nice houses in our area. (New single family homes in my town go for $500,000-$600,000+)
First class tickets to see my best friend in Liverpool UK. Would bring our family, especially my mom, so she can visit Wales, where my maternal grandmotherโs family is from.
Set up scholarships at the high school I was kicked out of, for kids battling through anxiety and depression.

The home would have a lovely french style dining room as well as turning one of the turrets into a full library with one of the windows in the library being a bay window facing the afternoon sun with one of those bay window beds to lay and read on.
I'd hire a personal horse trainer as well as human trainer to ride horses.
I'd hire people to mow my lawn. I'd use my dishwasher everynight instead of using it as a very expensive drying rack.
And a bigass beautiful PC setup. Ooh ohh and solar panels. Maybe even my own wind turbine!

I would build a house to fit my needs, somewhere in the Florida Keys. Probably something like a 4br/3b so there is plenty of room for future kids. Attached garage, plenty of land, workshop in the back.
Then Iโd get some sweet ass 1980โs truck restored. Iโve always pictured a Jeep Wagoneer. Maybe Iโd use it to tow whatever boat Iโd inevitably buy.
The rest would be invested and weโd live off of interest. Maybe weโd get bored and buy a bar.

So first I'll Don some mundane thing but the first lavish purchase would be a bunch of spectacular aviaries for my birds. Because they mean everything to me as it is now and they deserve really nice enclosures. One day.... Right now they have decent sized enclosure 2 feet of space on all sides for everyone if like to get a bigger one for my budgjes because they aren't in their 2 feet long cage at the moment due to a problem with the tray. Their cage is perfect size for them but I'd like it to be bigger

My brother and I always talked about how rich we want to be. We came the conclusion of this. So rich, we can buy an open field of land, buy new cars, light them on fire, and hurl them as far as we can using an old school style trebuchet. To keep things interesting, we would sit at opposite ends of the field and make it like a game of battleship, but also with new cars that are on fire. That's what I would do.

My grandmother lives in backwoods Arkansas, and she deserves for her house to be renevated. As far as extravagance goes, I would get her a horse. My Mom loves Bigfoot and aliens and ghost hunting, so I think I would buy her some kind of scouting experience where she can go into the woods and hunt for Bigfoot, a trip to a mountain that has reported UFO sightings, and a ghost hunting experience with her favorite TV ghost hunting team.

I would spend half that billion all to buy up a million contiguous acres of land somewhere in America and reforest it (or return it to its natural habitat, depending on the area). I'd start a non-profit to provide patrolling/conservation for the area using the rest of the money put into a trust. Then I would open the whole thing up to the public and go back to my regular life. I'm sure I'd visit pretty often.
Note: I'm effectively saying I'd build my own million acre campgrounds. To me, that's pretty lavish, but others might think its quite the waste of money.

In the event of natural disasters, I'd bring my neighborhood folks in to live with me while rebuilding took place.

I would take a large amount of the sum of money, invest it. 90% of the interest would go towards paying off student loans like the rolling jubilee was supposed to do.
I would do this by two means.
I would hire students who are in [student] debt to fulfill a contract. That contract would be to "immediately pay off student debt." They would be paid their total debt in a flat cost, their contract would only be considered complete once the payoff has been completed, and they would be paid under a W-9, with their taxes covered by their "employer, with the amount put into Escrow."
Part of the contract would be a strict requirement, stating that if their debt was not immediately paid off (within 10 days), that they would have to pay back the amount in full. This would get around the "gift" issue that the rolling Jubilee ran into.
I would buy the next model up in my car, but keep the same [base] car.
I would upgrade to another house.
I would open up a coffee shop/ net cafe /bakery that runs on donations only with several well paid workers that are paid out of interest on the lump $billion.
I would not be buying my waifu any fucking versace bullshit.

I'd buy a bunker. A really good one with supplies for lifetimes and an insane security system that also works without electricity, on solar power. The electricity is still its main source of power, but if that ever fails, the solar source is there for backup. I would have a nuke in there too. Because of START I can't buy any, so I'll just build one as a worst case scenario. If I'm going down from a raid party or something else, then everyone else in the radius of the blast is gonna go down and eat shit with me.

$100,000,000+ penthouse condo in NYC and remodel everything to perfection. Or just buy this for $82 million https://www.elliman.com/new-york-city/432-park-avenue-ph95-manhattan-bamsgsz
Elevator parking spot if building permits.
Or might just live in the Plaza Hotel penthouse for $50 million.
Lot's to think about but priority would be one of the best apartments in NYC. Then cars and travel.

A new home with a big attached workshop, equipped for anything I might want to create or work on. Metalworking, woodworking, electronics, paint, casting, automotive, etc. I could easily spend a couple million just on the workshop.
As for the home part, not particularly huge, but extreme attention to detail. Maybe 3 bedrooms, 3 and a half bathrooms. 2~3k square feet of living area. Lots of sound dampening, heated floors, etc. Maybe a pool on the roof, in a courtyard, or in the basement. Just somewhere the neighbors can't see it.
Oh, plus a few really nice computers(which I'll select components for and assemble myself), and a dedicated internet line with a SLA.

A Lambo Countach for my cousin. He's loved them since they came out and has posters on the wall until his wife made him take them down. He's a stand up guy and nobody can say a bad thing about him.
I like nice things, but know I don't really need them or could ever appreciate them as much as he would that car. I had daydreamed as a kid that I would drive a red one up to his apartment. He comes out and his eyes pop out of his face and he, because he's a good guy, would be so happy for me and "my" new car. I'd offer him to borrow it and drive it around the block. Then as we park, I hand him the pink slip and say, "keep it" and take a cab back home.

I would first need a house big enough to fit it, but I would buy a super tricked out basement game room.
I'd want it to be kind of a hybrid of a fancy arcade with mint condition arcade cabinets, pinball machines and modern and retro console stations mixed with a little bit of a Blockbuster aesthetic for shelving and displaying all the collectibles. There would be mini fridges strategically placed throughout the room filled with all manner of beverages and fully stocked snack machines throughout. Each console station would be equipped with a few beanbag chairs and wireless headphones to tune out any noise from the other running machines. The retro console stations will utilize RGB capable consoles and played through high grade upscalers or PVMs and BVMs. There will be no composite video in this house.
There would be a LAN room equipped with several high end PCs and dual 4K monitors as well as a gear swap station where players can pick out their preferred peripherals.
I'd also want a room dedicated to imported Japanese arcade machines and the whole room would be tricked out in a Japanese arcade aesthetic.
There will be posters and standees and neon lights everywhere. There will be monthly tournaments for all sorts of games and cash prizes for the winners. It would be completely open to the public and the only money I'd make off of it is renting it out for private catered events that are only allowed to happen a few times a month.
Miyamoto will show up once a year and play guitar.
It'll be rad.

For the most part I wouldn't go wild. I would do the pay off debts, maybe get a few nice things route.
One thing I would definitely splurge on would be to take my wife's parents on a big trip to Paris, or possibly a tour of Europe. The in laws have helped my little family a lot over the years in many ways, large and small. They often took us along when they vacationed, so we got to have a lot of experiences we wouldn't have otherwise. I would take the opportunity to give them a new experience.
They are both wine nuts, so France seems a no-brainer, but I would probably expand it to include other parts of Europe too, maybe even leveraging the money to see some sites that tourists don't normally get to see.

This is all assuming we're talking tens of billions of dollars, just one billion wouldn't be enough for this level of frivolity.
First thing's first, build a skyscraper-sized lighthouse in the middle of a desert in total secrecy. Make it look like it's been abandoned for centuries. Tell no one about it. There's just something about mysterious lighthouses and buildings where they don't belong that amuses me, and it'd make the world a little bit more magical for anyone who stumbles across it.
Similarly, have some kind of shipwreck recovered and moved to a desert, again in total secrecy.
Next, a life-size replica of the island from Myst. I don't know if this one would be a secret or not, but it might be more fun if no one knew where it came from.

An incredibly impractical and stupid thing to bother with, but I'd hire a full-time DND DM. This person's whole job would just be to work on an awesome campaign for 30ish hours a week and then run it for my friends and me over the weekend. Ever since I've gotten to an age where everyone I know has all these adult responsibilities, our DND games have been inconsistent or half-assed because nobody can devote hours every week to it. You get me a creative person who has it as their full-time job and I'm sure it would be great (assuming they don't burn out on it and start phoning it in).

Well, most of the stuff I'd want to buy if I was a billionaire I wouldn't classify as "lavish" in that they wouldn't be bought just to buy them. Because most of what I'd want to buy would be property or go places or some vehicles.
But if I had to buy something lavish, I'd probably buy an airfield on an island and a brand new plane to use to get my pilots license. Since the airfield is on an island, I'd also hire someone to teach my scuba, and then scuba off the island. I'd also probably have my flight instructor fly me up with a skydiving instructor as well so I could get lessons in that as well. With that trifecta, I could go almost anywhere. That would be really cool.

He'd have to have plastic surgery to change his face, change his name, new passport, new identity.
All that (paid by me, the billionaire) plus $1, gets him ownership of every reserve list grade 10 alpha magic card.

Try to reduce spending in my family and hire them to make fiscally sound decisions and give them bonuses for cooperatively fixing problems and improve their well being.
Reduce spending on food, hire family to buy, sell, and manage property. Install solar panels to reduce electric heating on the properties, build a small water recycle plant in every property, and spend every dollar into something that will last three times longer than the dollar spent.
I'd also open a communal bath house/gym/lodging business that houses and employs homeless. With those features, teach them to upkeep it.
The rest of my money if any is left will get paid to someone who can successfully fake my death so I don't have to live the life I'm living.

Paying off my parent's mortgage, buy a nice house near where I live, and open up an auto mechanic shop. A smartphone app would track the lifespan of every part in your car by inserting the miles you've driven and list the work that needs to be done by my mechanics. But the most expensive part would probably the laser rust removal tools. Maybe they get cheaper in the future, but they're 480k each right now.

As an emergency feature, you can blow up the doors of Lamborghini Aventador (doors open up so if you flip the car you can blow them out to get out of the car).

Start a few businesses that pay good wages to normal people. Build social housing in cities hardest hit by cost of living increases. (merit based housing, you would have to work toward a goal, any goal to stay there) Build myself a little house with a big yard. Travel and see where life takes me. Invest the rest of it. In ethical companies. Build a database of every product, company, etc that is bad for the environment/human health/human/animal rights. Easily searchable to take the power out of corporate propaganda and into the now information rich hands of the purchasing public.

I would move to Japan and buy a bunch of land and build a Daimyรด yashiki (Edo Period Mansion) since I quite like that style honestly.
I would live like a normal person who works an average 9-5 job, average car normal groceries etc this way instead of spending all this money on myself and having a flashy lifestyle (Aside from the house/Land) the money can be used to pay for my future generations schooling etc. I would also allow immediate family members to live on the property with me so that the grandparents can see their grand-kids grow up and so on.
Whole point is to have a piece of land my family doesn't have to worry about for many generations and to provide schooling for them for free.
The money would only be used for the land, maintenance costs, schooling etc so if a relative wanted a new car they better get working cause the whole point is to stretch out that money as long as possible while maintaining the property and providing schooling for the family.

Since I'm already buying a house, I'll also buy lots of land, and build an artificial hill for skiing and snowboarding, where I can practice grinds and jumps and stuff.

Philanthropically? College funds or mortgages paid for close friends and family. Then I'd take $100 million, put it in a charitable trust and start a working group in conjunction with the local trade schools, religious organizations, and community outreach programs. The objective would be to improve the city's impoverished neighborhoods - cleaning up blight and giving people the chance to make their houses safer and more energy-efficient.

So Iโve actually thought about two things other than student loans before.
1) An apartment building where I donโt charge rent to people getting back on their feet.
2) Start a mortgage company where people wouldnโt end up paying for their homes 3 times over.
Edit: Student loans already said.

Pay off all my friends & Families debts and buy the building next to my favorite pizza place and turn it into a big apartment for my friends to all hang out in and have the best Wi-Fi money can buy and share it with the pizza place next door and I'll also throw in about 1 mil in renovations for whatever the pizza place needs. I'll probably put more into my city to make it safer (potholes everywhere) and turn most of the abandoned buildings and homes into new apartments and homes with fair prices. I'll also buy my mom a new home and my dad also (separated, on good terms). Gosh there is so much I would do with that much money and I'm pretty sure I'll have plenty of money left over so I can just live a comfy life knowing my friends and family and city are happier

Of course it'd be after I pay my student loans off, set aside the money for my wedding and me and my fiancรฉe's elective surgery that we want. After that I'd probably get an apartment so I don't have to live with family that has intense dislike for me, some underwear that isn't falling apart, a second pair of pants (maybe even replace or repair my current pair so they cover more than a skirt), maybe a few everyday/nice occasion outfits, some professional shoes so I don't have to wear chucks with my pantsuit, some new everyday shoes that aren't falling apart, a new phone that isn't falling apart, and a bunch of long term savings bonds so no matter how stupid I am with the rest I can be secure in my future.

A clubhouse with various themed rooms for different games and entertainment.
Dungeons and Dragons would take place in the "adventure" room of course, around an extravagant gaming table (Geek Chic is out of business, but I'm sure I could find another way to get one). The room would normally be styled like a medieval tavern, but decorations could be swapped out to make it look like a forest, a castle dungeon, etc. There would even be a configuration where all the walls infinity mirrors.
LAN gaming would be in a room styled like a starship bridge. Each bridge station would have an awesome computer setup. The whole room would be rigged with hydraulics to make it shake when playing games like Artemis.
There would also be a home theater for watching movies and shows and playing couch co-op games.
There would also need to be car seat setups somewhere for racing games.

A lab complex built for biology of all sorts...and then the infrastructure/scientists to support research on aging. And I'd start a grant system for aging research. It's what I'd do if I had more than a few thousand dollars, since it's already what I plan to dedicate my life to. If I had millions of dollars, then it wouldn't make sense for me to want to do research anymore. I'd have all my time taken up by managing everything.

I would find the most expensive house in my area that I liked and buy it and all of the houses on the street so that I could have a compound to chill at and invite my friends/family to hang out or stay at whenever they wanted. Also, one of those houses would be entirely dedicated to and fully stocked with board games and a massive library of RPG rulebooks and materials. and at least one of the rooms would be a fully decked out D&D playroom.

I'd buy waterfront property and then an eco friendly, self sustaining cabin in the mountains and a new car, nothing extravagant, but better than the current one I have which is slowly costing more in repairs than it's worth. Then I'd help out my friends and family, pay off my friends' college debts, buy a couple of them decent cars, help them out with rent for a year or help them travel for a year so that they'll be able to actually figure out and pursue their passions in life instead of just doing what makes sense to make a living. I want to see what they can make happen when money isn't an issue. All my friends have such amazing potential to be genuinely good contributors to the earth and society. I want to see the people I love living their best lives. Also everyone goes to mandatory therapy of some kind for that year, therapy is good shit.
Basically, I'd set them up so that they have a year or two to get help with whatever issues they have (everybody's got issues), figure out what they love doing and then set them off to go live how they want afterwards.

Add in some cool murals on the walls and stock it with extra gym clothes for when my friends want to lift and I'd be in heaven. I'd probably spend half my day there.

My immediate โcrazy rich guyโ plan would have 4 phases: 1) Hire a ring announcer and pyrotechnics guy. 2) License a song to use as entrance music. 3) Find the most mundane, boring, dead-end, low wage job possible. 4) Show up to said job every day with a full-on pro wrestler ring entrance.
I would do this until Iโve either been fired from every hourly job in the country, or until one of them cracks and starts selling merch.

A 10 meter statue of myself but made from 20 different types of expensive rocks (different marbles granites and different semi precious rocks) molten and mixed together and then cast into a block to later be carved into the statue. I know that it would probably black in the end because what maes different rocks is the way they crystalize since they are essentially the same minerals with different crystaline structures and impurities (exept marble since it comes from limestone).
If someone came and said that 20 different rocks couldnt be molten together i would just change to making it out of ALL the natural elemental metals combined in equal parts of mass. Yes even mercury and uranium. I wonder how much that would cost...

Decide on where I want to live, in a house large enough for my wife and I, and some reasonable number of kids, and outright buy (not mortgage or anything) 3 houses a short walk apart - one for the wife and I, and one for each of our sets of parents. It would be out of the city, but not an unreasonable commute to my wife's current job. I would then demolish one of the houses, and have a specific architecture firm build a new house there to my specifications. When the timing of that project means least interference for the next project, I'll do the same for a parents house, then the same for the last house. I would also buy a specific couple of cars.
Then I hire a financial adviser to tell me what to do with what's left, because it's too late for them to tell me not to throw money hand-over fist at rebuilding 3 houses for no apparent reason.

Tech.
I have always wanted to run a review site for high end computer and server components, but the barrier of entry is super high and I don't have the time due to having to work to support myself. But with money to spare and throw at side projects, you can bet your ass I would be building super computers for shits and giggles, and I would expand my small time hosting operation to a full business.
Most of the things I want to do would still return money to me and might eventually turn a profit, but the barrier of entry is so high that I likely will never be able to do any of it.

Those containers where the front face is glass and contains liquid which you can float in, every respectable super villain should have one of those.
Edit: Finding a picture of this is harder than I thought, I can't remember specifically a movie that has them in it, but a lot do.

I'd buy a life- sized, custom ordered, movie quality, iron man suit. But not just one, I'd buy every variation avaliable ie. Different paint jobs, every Mark, every add-on. I'd line my garage with these suits, so i could dress up at my leisure. "I think I'll go with the Mark IV today", and I'd go about my life like normal. Ever seen Iron Man buy groceries? Now you have. Ever seen Iron Man go to the doctor? Now you have. Ever seen Iron Man play a round of golf? Now you have.
I'd also go skydiving constantly, and when people ask why i need a parachute, il tell them that i probably shouldn't be flying around while I'm baked af, because im iron man and who is gonna stop me. I'd also get one of those personal jetpacks, so i could fly around for reals, and I'd join the make-a- wish foundation, and beat John Cena for most wishes granted, just so i can add that to my list of Accomplishments.
Iron- manโ The ability to literally flyโ Beat John Cenaโ
I'd also convince my kids and any visitors/friends that stay with me (I have a mansion controlled by JARVIS, why wouldnt they stay with me?), that the first iron man movie is actually a documentary based on my life, and all the rest are dramatizations, the scripts of which ii had to approve. But i really am pals with all of the Avengers and Nick Fury. Infact, they all come over to my house every month and we play water polo.

I would become the new Nintendo-Guy.
I would buy as many Nintendo Switches and as much nintendo memorabilia as they would make for me (i'm talking $100m usd worth) --- and I would travel the world handing things out to people. I would be a real life santa - but without the weird "he looks like he might touch little kids" vibe.
I would have a Tour bus sized vehicle built up with monitors and Raspberry Pi machines (and Switchs of course) so people could hang out and play games for a bit. Basically I would spend at least 10-20% of it literally just buying things for people just to make them happy (mostly kids but some adults too).
Kid walks by wearing a pokemon shirt?
BAM, You get a switch.
Dude makes an epic play in my game of league?
BA-BAM, Gimme dat address cause i'm sending you a switch homie!
Literally every kid/teenager/gamer that i see in walmart? Yeah, i know you're broke homie, I was there YESTERDAY! Lemme get that switch for you dawg.
Oh, and I'd buy a comical amount of marijuana. Just as much as I could possibly find. Dump trucks full of bud. Like enough that i can have a super-combo-blunt between my fingers every waking minute of the day for the rest of my life, if i so choose ---- x10

Honestly? I wouldn't waste it at all. I would invest in property and put my savings into private banking and never have to worry about money again as I could live off the interest and rent from my properties. I would buy an apartment in some of my favorite cities, lease them out while I was away, and travel endlessly. I would set my mum up with a house in Australia and a chef. I would also give a percentage to homeless, LGBTQ charities and a percentage to research facilities to help them cure to autoimmune diseases and cancer.

This way, the time at home with our pup is happy fun play time and snuggles!

I would buy a pretty big worthless piece of degraded land and work on it to restore the ecosystems that were lost. It will never be exactly the same but what I am aiming for is the original climax ecosystem, some would argue there is no true climax ecosystem but it is a useful term in many cases. I don't have to be a billionaire to do this so I guess I am not thinking very extravagantly today :D.
Edit: Worthless as in I won't make any money from it, especially considering I would not be creating say an optimal timberfarm.

I'd buy 2 large hangars, make large storage rooms out of it and then hire those rooms for other companies for storage for a cheap price.
Then I'd buy decent portions of land. One is for myself which would be hunting ground in the forest with a strong running river and full of animals. The other would be a small farming/building land, where I would build a farm/deli where I'd sell fresh meals pulled right out of the ground and fresh meat yanked right from the ass of a cow. It would be a small family business with a friendly dog.
I would also buy a small building just for my retro game collection, and collect as much as I please.
I leave the rest of my money for education for my future kids, and if they are interested, they'd inherit my hangars to maintain its business and maybe even expand.

I would have a full pistol and rifle range going out to 1000 meters. I would have a trebuchet capable of throwing engine blocks at least 300 yards. My wife can have a barn and all her horse crap. I would make sure my driveway goes through some scary woods and I would but creepy signs that say all sorts of insane shit with misspellings all over the first few hundred yards of it.

I would build a batcave--not bat-themed, but a batcave. Just a place I could go to do whatever I want, whenever I want, alone or with a small group of friends.
Would have to include: huge gaming setup, home theater with great chairs, library/office for creative work, gym, and of course a badass secret entrance--maybe like the iron maiden trapdoor slide from Batman Returns.

For the most part, if I woke up a billionaire, Iโd be boring as fuck. Iโd pay off what college debt I already have and cease worrying about taking out new loans. Iโd buy myself a car.

Open a series of food kitchens for the homeless, and/or underpaid people. I volunteered in one, and they had to use vegetables where half the bag was rotten and they had to dig through it to get to the healthy stuff because it was donated food. Also there's a tonne of families that use that to feed their kids.
If I had a few million I would open one in my local town, and set up drug rehab/job search help/housing help for those that need it. It's something I always wanted to do if I'm ever successful. Might as well make the money help people. I would set up with local farms for their non selling produce, the ugly, deformed stuff, and set up with a local meat farmer, and get them healthful food each day, and try to have a varied menu if it's at all possible, so people who come every day aren't eating turkey mince meat, and steamed veges, every day.

I would build the most lavish and perfect horse property possible, I'd have hydrotherapy machines to give aqua massages to my horses, central heat and A/C in all parts of the barn, I'd buy more horses and hire a saddle maker to custom make multiple saddles for every horse, so each horse would have a custom jumping, Western, and dressage saddle made to fit them perfectly as well as matching bridles and halters. Each horse would have the full matching set of brushes and blankets and such in their own color scheme and monogrammed. You get the idea, every equestrians dream barn and set up for their horses with the best care possible and beautiful riding rings and trails on property

I've always wanted a house that was more spacious than the one we have now, obviously, but I'm talking taking it to the point where I have a Tony Stark Style computer interface built-in to almost every surface of the house, sort of like Bill Gates has on his right now. Probably in Tuscany.

If I had that much cash, I'd probably buy two Teslas, and a corvette. Give money to my mom who's a interior designer to help her build her dream home. I would get to level 1000+ on steam during the next winter sale. I would pay off all of my immediate families debts. I would try find a way to help fund a video game studio, or help invest in other game studios to help create great games. I'd also like to use some to travel to other countries with a friend and family. I'd love to visit Japan, South Korea, and China.
All that could be done for less than a million though.... So the rest I'd save or invest. I'd probably end up hoarding various retro collections, and expanding my YouTube channel to share my experiences.

I'd dedicate my life to making music.
First, I'd buy a whole bunch of equipment, software, synthesizers (old and new), mixing boards, speakers, computers, a studio set up, instruments, etc.
Then, I'd hire someone to personally teach me music production. They'd be on-call whenever I need it. We'd start right in on making tracks I've long-since had in my head but have never known how to make. I'd learn everything from music theory, point/counterpoint, chord structures and progressions... Everything that can help me understand how to make the sounds in my head come to life.
My studio would be in a house somewhere in San Diego, preferably somewhere where I can be left alone.
I'll have my own personal ISP so I never need to worry about limits to speed or data caps or whatever. I'd use that to spend money on buying stem files for tracks I love so I can remix or mash up m
I'd hire a few more people to come in, listen to my music, and provide detailed, critical feedback on my productions.
And from then on, I'd make music. Prolifically. Not really for money-making purposes, but because I can and I want to share what I live with everyone

Granite countertops because they look great and last forever plus you can put hot pans on them.

I personally allways thought it would be pretty neat to have a chinese back scartcher. Perhaps head and beard too.
I don't mean like a thing, I mean, an actual person, whose only job it is to do the scritching. Or, much rather, three. Because billionaire, why not?
So, I'd travel china, looking everywhere for the one that has the perfect technique. I am talking, baba the magic barber from pushkar, but for back scritchies. Just the right ammount of fingernails, you know. Then, make her a job offer for a reasonable salary, by western standarts, with enough money left over to send some home, good benefits, plus a greencard if I can afford it, plus an option for her family members to move here. Plus, insurance, and a proper education.
Nothing sexual, mind you, I am a happy man, and I am not picky on the age, but the technique for the fingers has to be on point. And what the heck, since possibly, I am a bit of a difficult customer, lets make that three girls, so they can share the workload, and share tips on techniques and whatnot.
Then, when all the other billionaires ask me, what the fuck did you do with your billion dollars, I can happily go, Hey, I bought myself a chinese back, head and beard scratcher.
And in exchange, they would be my plus one, in case I need to brag. "OOOh, your maibach is in the shop? and you had to take the jag? Anbd your island experiences bad weather? Oh, my dear, see, Mei Lin here just bought herself a Ford Focus and drove here, I came here just having a stroll and eating some icecream, you know what, tell me all about how luxurious driving a Maibach is while she scritches my head, and I sit here with a huge ass smile, while you sit here depressed as shit and totally pent up. Oh, and if you think about going "does she do happy endings too", for her birthday, I presented Mei Ling with her personal bail money account, in case she needs to swarm on a motherfuckers ass, and a cattleprod that she is just itching to use. "
That would be the top of the lavish scale I could imagine, on a permanent basis.
Alternatively, if you count settling personal grudges, open a mariuanna plantation in north korea, and ship it out by boat.
Like, legit, go up to a north korean embassy, and go, good day sir, see this bucket of money, and these three hippy looking fucks here? Those are hippies on retainer, yes, I have hippies on retainer, you will lead them around every piece of property you have for sale in north korea that they deem good for planting mariuanna on, they will take soil samples, photos of the local landscape, and come back to me, and if I am happy, you will get yourself a 200000 $ investment per year. It would require locals to work the field, maybe grow a bit of local food on the side, for the canteen, but the main purpose would be to grow massive ammounts of mariuanna for consumption overseas and local sale.
Oh, and if you don't have a natural harbor for the sticky icky, Kenneth here that is profusely sweating has a doctorate in biology and chemistry, and is a survival prepper, and knows how to fashion one. And then sell the produced mariuanna at a discount on the international market, in every country where weed is legal, and then just go, this was grown in north korea, at fair practices, and completely eco friendly. the money you could do from that is amazing.
And then hire just one guy to make mistakes intentionally. Like, if a famine is coming on, he grows all this field full of corn, on the side, and he goes, yuck, this is cross contaminated, it makes the weed less potent and rich in taste, away with thee. And just pays some local farmers to take it "Out of his hands". And the plantation would have a bigass canteen, to provide the weed farmers and everyone who has to work there with a breakfast, tea, lunch and dinner. Plus, import other eco friendly shit, like european bees, and so forth, for optimal eco footprint. Plus, of course, language classes for the field workers, so they can understand german / english, and the managers the local dialect.
Not only would I be making money hand over fist, it would also elevate a reasonable percentage of the local population, would have the imported european communist hippies with a safe and first hand experience with what communism is actually like, and would most likely have the north korean leadership scratching their heads with what this means. But, on the broad side, Kim Jong Un would get a personal present from me, like a coo coo clock. Every year.
Plus, what eco friendly product could compete with "grown in north korea, where most GMO and pesticide firms have an embargo and legally can't deliver. " So it would piss off the fair trade crowd, and the "we have to embargo north korea" crowd.
But the biggest benefit would be to walk up to Leonardo di Caprio, and go, what, you worked with a London based company to offsett your carbon footprint? Let's see, I am currently employing 3000 + north koreans, growing weed inside north korea, I feed them, I pay them fairly, and I care for them, oh wow, you planted a wood? Motherfucker, I export a wood each week. And customers are ripping each other to get a kilo of highest grade power skunk for a dollar.
On a sidenote, hire the guy who does the "Primitive Technology" channel for youtube, invite him over to our plantation, give him his own sectioned off area to go nuts in, and just build. I would call him, my personal Minecraft guy. Just produce video after video, that has to be uploaded over the net, and shows him just doing thing, making bricks, ect.

The windows would be one of those tempered glass, so we can break them if need be. We would be fully geared with armor, mask, the works. and as an added twist, have those military bungee cord stuff added, so we can jump from 3rd floor to 2nd floor window. Just an idea. Then maybe an ATV to have a "high speed" chase

Literally extravagant, I have no clue. Extravagant in my eyes would be a big piece of land in this mid sized city and building my practical/experimental dream house. We're not talking pool on the roof, helipad outside my window house. I'm talking about a house you'd build for your future 6 person family to live comfortably but with splashes of excess, like a actual gym in your basement or garage, windows that can be electrically controlled to become opaque from the outside but see through in the inside, or see through both ways. A lavish room for myself with those same windows if I wish to be alone, probably 3 stories + basement. Possibly a watchtower espque 4th floor just so I can look over the neighborhood. A natural pool (look it up, low maintenance but really cool). Medium to big yard. Possibly raised up land so the basement (garage likely at this point too) of my house is the 1st floor of my neighbors houses. Whenever I think about it, it kind of turns into a Japanese feudal castle from shogun 2 (see raised land and walls on outside) and some fallout 3/4 high-tech garage that leads up to the house

Also, I'll hire 10/10 girls to match with him on tinder and just when it looks like he might get laid, they'll say they have a boy friend who is in a mariachi band. The band will then start playing wherever they are. Then everything will stop for like 6 months. At the right time, everything will start up again when he thinks it's over. Over and over and over.

I would have a robotic clone of myself built that is a perfect, realistic replica in every way, such that not even those closest to me could tell the difference. All physical characteristics and personality / cognitive functions would be exactly my actions.
Then, that clone would be sent to all the personal obligations and functions that I have no desire to attend but would normally not be able to say no to - baby showers, funerals, etc.

I would locate the perfect plot of land in several cities, perhaps condos in cities I don't plan to frequent, in several time zones and countries and begin construction in houses perfectly suited to each climate.
Townhouse in midtown Atlanta, apartment in Italy, home in Haebongcheon, Korea, summer cottage in Germany, somewhere. London, France, Brazil, I would travel everywhere, spending weeks in each location.
I would also supplant my closest friends, gifting them ~4 million apiece and offer them the chance to travel some with me.

Or a beast of a PC that will be obsolete in a few years.
One is theoretically more wasteful that the other, I think. While the other would lose more value based on the initial price being so high.

I'd buy a small town and make it a village for artists/academics. Just let them make art and create shit. Pay for everything. Obviously there would have to be some rules to keep people actually doing shit instead of just freeloading, but I would want to allow as much freedom as possible. Let musicians create whatever they want without worrying about having to make a hit single. Let artists and sculptors and woodworkers and whoever else make the most beautiful shit ever. Try to recreate the hanging gardens. Humans are great at making beautiful stuff, I'm not, so I'd love to fund that for people that are.

First I'd pay off the mortgage on my family's house and wipe out any other debts. For myself, a Nintendo 3DS capture card setup, so I can start streaming and recording stuff; maybe an absurdly powerful new computer and Internet plan to boot. I'd set aside a fair bit of cash for Uber to bring me to and fro because I hate driving. From then on, all of that money goes towards bills and hobbies, which may very well include business and philanthropy. Investing in my local school system would be a good step forward.
I'm no rich bloke, but I don't want for very much. All I need is a good Internet connection, some games to entertain me, and some friends and family to share my life with. Private jets are bullshit; I just want to pursue my hobbies quietly and help folks where I can reasonably invest it.

Also, completely up to date security stuff on them & mine (fancy security screens, camera & alarm system, etc.) and much higher walls of solid stone/concrete.
Everyone would get their choice of brand new furniture (I would take everyone on a shopping spree to Ikea!) and I'd hire a private security company to regularly patrol out neighborhood indefinitely so everyone would feel safe while they lived there.
And, any of us with pets would get free veterinary care for the life of their special friends. :)

Then I would pay lots of money to have the body modified to look like a first generation Subaru Forester.
The first gen's had the best looking exteriors, but they weren't offered with turbo in the United States. You're probably thinking, why not get a first gen and do an engine swap with the turbo? Wouldn't that be much easier and less expensive? Yes, but the first gens had those crappy cupholders and no stow compartment for the trunk cover.

I'd buy a billboard. On the billboard, the left 1/3rd will have a picture of a giant wedge of cheese in black and white. The remaining portion of the billboard will be filled black with white text saying "Have you seen me?"
It will start with one board. A few months later, a second billboard will have an identical image. A few months afterwards, two more will appear. The next month, three will appear.
No additional text, no contact information, nothing about who did it it or why additional billboards keep getting bought up. Eventually, I will reach a point where I can't get any additional boards and I'll let them simply vanish, except for the very first one. After all the other billboards have been replaced, I'll have an overlay of red text added over the first, crossing out the cheese in a red x and red text on the right saying "Nobody saw me :(".

I'd also overhaul the kitchen to be industrial quality. I would have a theater with a Coke Freestyle machine and play all the newest movies and any old ones, bowling alley, arcade, golf range, and a shop out back to do any project I needed.
Finally, I'd run fiber optic internet and cable. It would be perfect for my fully automated house and top of the line game room. The cherry on top, I'd have the ultimate cable package (if I had enough money left over).

I would probably buy the town I grew up in. I would buy up every house on the market to fix up the ones that are worth fixing and demolish the ones that aren't. Sell them back for pennies on the dollar. I would pay off everyone's mortgage. I would buy that stupid coal mine that everyone keeps hoping will come back and shutter it forever.
I would fix up the schools and buy them enough supplies to last 30 years. I would pay for every single person to go to the local community college if they wanted to (not regular college. What am I, a trillionaire?). I would start some sort of large business to give anyone a job and training.
That town is dying and deserves better. It also desperately needs to learn that the old days are over. Maybe throwing millions of dollars at it will help.
Oh, and I would also buy the biggest house in town right off of the town square. If I'm basically going to own the town, might as well act like it.

First I'd buy some acreage in the following places. Michigan, Minnesota, Wyoming, Colorado, Canada, Sweden (all in remote areas). Each piece of property would have roughly a 2,000 square foot cabin/house with the best construction materials, interior, appliances, etc.
After that's accomplished I'd buy airline miles and gift them to my close friends and family to go wherever they please. Continue to live out the rest of my days honing my woodworking skills, hunting, spending time with loved ones.

I'd buy every possible vehicle that matched the classic Generation 1 Transformers, ship them to the UK, customise them with bodywork and paintwork to match the look of the Autobots, get them insured... All that requires billionaire money I'm guessing. Then I'd hire a fleet of drivers and take them up and down to charity events and hospitals to cheer kids up. If the classic G1 doesn't work, then I'd spend another wad of cash doing the same with later versions of Transformers that kids of today prefer. Like that charity Batman guy, but with Bots.

Remember Fyre Festival? I'd pay out of pocket for this. That one documentary that was posted recently said it would have cost $50mil. I'd pay $75mil and use the marketing for the original Fyre Festival as my guideline.
The initial talent lineup would determined by /r/Music. I'd probably also take input from whatever the equivalent of that sub is on 4chan.
The base price for the ticket is $25k and includes all expenses except alcohol (although an allowance is included). The first 5,000 tickets, though, are given away in pairs for free via a fair lottery system. (Tickets require a photo of ID at the time of purchase or entry to the lottery and at the time of entry to the event. Purchased tickets may be returned for a refund. Tickets may not transferred (except in the event of the death of the ticketholder). There'd be a system in place so that tickets could be purchased as a gift for someone, but ticketmaster/livenation is out and no scalping.)
Just because of who I am and the type of irony I enjoy, I'd do my very best to ensure that all catering and gourmet food and snacks are of the highest quality, but sponsored by Lunchables, RC Cola, Natty Light, and Popov.
Lodging would be custom built luxury villas (which would be converted to a resort after the event). Of course the sponsorship would be Rodeway Inn or something equally as classy
My second lavish purchase would be the Playboy mansion. I totally want to set it up as a hotel/swinger resort.

Buy EVERYTHING in a Walmart store, have people load it into trucks for me, not stopping until every single shelf and display is empty. Then, I'd take it all to the next town over and return ALL OF IT.
I'm curious how this would affect the local communities.
Also after waiting a couple months I'd buy everything from a store again. This time I would not take everything to another store, I'd just keep it on the trucks for about a week. Once the store has had time to replenish their shelves, return it all to the same store. Now they have an issue with where to put it all. Do they end up putting stuff on sale to make room? Call other stores and have them take some of the stock? It's interesting to me.
I don't actually shop at Walmart, so idgaf how it actually affects anyone involved, I'm just curious and love chaos.

Dice. Lots and lots of dice. The more obscure, unusual, and unique the better. Full sets of polyhedral gaming dice from nearly every manufacturer. Sets from Shapeways made from expensive materials. Historical sets. Commissioned sets. Sets made from rare materials like meteorites or gem stones. Sizes of dice you rarely find in stores, sizes I paid people invent and create for me. Dice with symbols, dice with unusual distributions, and dice with letters. Blank dice. Dice of all colors and patterns. So many dice that I can fill a pool and bury myself in them like its a day at the beach.
Then I want to play with them. I want to be able to pick up a new die each time I need to roll one and never have to roll the same die twice unless I really like that die. When I am done rolling a die, I want to be able to smash it if it rolled unfavorably (or quietly put it in a dark storage container if it is an uncommon die I can't bare to destory.) If it rolled favorably, I'll put it in a special display so everyone knows that it was a good die.

Well I would probably buy a house I actually liked instead of renting an apartment or trying to figure out what the least I can afford to rent is. I would pay off all the debt it should be really nice. And then I would probably look to do all the adventures that I grew up hearing people talk about or saw pictures of online or whatever that I would never be able to do between both work and lack of money. And then finally once I have achieved all of my pleasure vacation so I guess I would open up a Nerf tag stop to allow people to play and only have it open when I want. And it would be stocked with every nerf gun of every kind that I could ever get my hands on

I would build a movie studio, and run it like they used to in the old days.
Nowadays, every movie is its own separate thing, even when it's produced by the studio. They hire the crew for the shoot, then fire them all at wrap. When you work on a film crew, you have to look for a new job every few months. It's a hard life.
Instead, I'd want my crew to be employees like any other job. If we finish a movie on Tuesday, you'll start shooting the next movie on Wednesday. Or, maybe get a week off, since shooting days are long.
I'd also reduce the standard shooting day from 12 hours to 10. There is no good reason to shoot for 12 hours straight. Plus, because of overtime laws, it'd work out cheaper. You'd get just as much shooting done in 25 10-hour days as 20 12-hour days, but due to overtime laws, you'll pay slightly less. The crew won't mind, because, unlike most shows, they'll have a steady paycheck!
I also wouldn't waste money on development executives, who are entirely superfluous. I'd hire a dozen writers, put 'em in a room, and tell 'em to write whatever they want. Like the way a TV show works, only there's no overarching story. (Again, this is more-or-less how old-timey studios wrote scripts.)
I think the reason most TV shows are better than most movies now is the way that they're run. I'll spend half a movie shoot just learning everyone's names. But a TV show really becomes a second family after a few seasons.

Halloween - Little Fairies, Jack O'Lanterns, little ghosts and skeletons
Thanksgiving - Little Indians and Pilgrims, with a few dressed as Turkeys

I would have it built back to my design with a nice big kitchen with a mud room/laundry room and a good sized living room with built in book shelves & fireplace, a couple of guest rooms, guest full bath & the master suite with a walk in closet & a bathroom to die for...separate shower with a bench, large soaking tub with jets, good sized vanity & mirror, water closet...the works. There would an updated HVAC system & a new roof...everything would be perfect & exactly what I wanted.

In one corner would be a beer garden. Work out a contract with the city. They can hold events but must also make events for kids and such.
No admission fees.
Fruits free for anyone who wants it. I'd have people pick and box fruit to be given away and such.

I'd choose a major city with not-crazy-expensive real estate prices and find an area where I can buy every single business and eventually housing within it. Like hopefully at least between 5x5 and 10x10 city blocks. I'd have all the businesses operate as normal to start. Then I'd slowly move onto the point where everything that needs renovation gets done, every store/business has my name involved in some aspect, and eventually I will have my own city within a city.

One thats a really nice old school car like a 67 GTO or 76 Mustang. Use it just to drive around and show off.
And a pricey luxury car like a Rolls Royce. Use it for big events and looking fancy as fuck.
But id probbly still be cheap as fuck in my regular life. Just give out a bunch of money to charities or people i know who need it.

Nothing. I would invest it. But if I really had to spend some of it, I would hire someone to do my chores for me (shopping, cooking, dishes, laundry, etc). I may also hire a driver. In other words, I wouldn't buy toys. I would buy free time and convenience.

The end goal would be owning a few thousand acres of land at bare minimum. Enough land I could play with cattle, heavy equipment, and guns without people complaining about the noise or getting nosy.

Each of my siblings would get $100,000. They live in an area with a low cost of living so if they were smart that could make a difference for them forever. I would get a therapist to help me figure out what type of deal the rest of the family should get since they're irresponsible.
I would assemble a staff - an assistant who would entertain my cat during the day and take care of the mail, someone to cook, and someone to clean. They would all get good pay and benefits.
I would buy a three-bedroom apartment in the neighborhood I want to live in.
I would go clothes shopping and buy everything that looks nice no matter what.

Even if I were the richest person in the world I couldn't afford it solo but I could make it happen.

Pay to have the local "google fiber-type" internet company extend lines to my neighborhood, and then to connect me to it.
Actually, scratch that: I would pay them and sign the deal now, THEN have them install the lines once I buy a new house in a good neighborhood.

Cheap, affordable homes in good neighborhoods for my father, brother, and a few friends who are trying to raise families. Not like mansions, but decent sized houses, three to four bedrooms, at least two bath, possible dining room, in a good neighborhood where the property tax would be cheap. Iโd probably buy my father and brother new cars, nothing brand new, but something with low miles. I mean, Iโd be a billionaire, I could afford to help people whoโve been there for me when I was in hard times and my family.

Yeah. Oh and a gym room. YESSS. AND A BATHTUB! bathtubs are so rare in my country.

I'm not sure if this counts as a single thing, but I have a plan for if I ever become nauseatingly wealthy that I'm going to share anyways. Of course I'd give some money to charity, but that's boring.
I'd have an estate built and customized for me. It'd be somewhere on the ocean, maybe a private island, maybe not. But I'd have a private marina connected to the house with a big yacht, a sailboat, and a small fishing boat for fresh seafood. The house itself would be probably 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 3-5 half baths, depending on the square footage. There would of course be detached guest houses for people who come to stay with me.
I'd have the best kitchen money could buy and a cooking staff, though I'd still cook for myself sometimes. I'm thinking just outside the kitchen I'd have a half acre or so where I grow my own vegetables (and a gardener to tend them). Other notable features would be a personal movie theater with a huge movie library, an actual library with tons of comfy chairs, a recording studio, and a huge model train room. I love model trains, so I'd have a ton of them with fully fleshed out environments, terrain, towns, etc.
But the real centerpiece of this thing is the garage. The garage is its own air conditioned building connected to the house. I think it's at least 5-6 stories high with an elevator to move the cars. Bottom floor is workshop, where I have a team of mechanics maintaining all of my cars and keeping them in good condition. One floor would just be Ferraris, organized chronologically. One floor would be old race cars that I've purchased. And the other floors would be a mix of all the cars that I love. This would be separate from the garage attached to the house where I keep 4-5 daily drivers. One path away from my garage would lead to my driveway, he other path would lead to an inch perfect recreation of Spa Francorchamps. Everything from the track width, to the elevation change would be duplicated. Of course, it could never be exactly the same, but I'll settle for close enough. The property would also be large enough for a twisty road starting near the beach and going through the hills that would make a nice change from track driving. It'd lead into the mountains behind the estate from where you can see the entire property and get great ocean views. This would be my own personal heaven.

Perhaps I would start a school of fencing where I live. Make a huge place where students could come and live and study the art with a maestro. Have modern sport electric, dry, rapier. Even have classes in fighting with sword & shield (not in the SCA tradition, so much, their weapons suck).
And someone to come clean the house. I hate doing it and my wife is not bothered by a slight mess. about the place.
Have my kids go through college without mortgaging their future or putting a second mortgage on the house.

Beyond paying off my debts from an ill advised jaunt to college when I was younger?
Pick up something like 10-15 acres in a rural area, and put a container house on it. Have all the shit Iโd need to stay relatively self sufficient without having to rely on farming/hunting for every meal (power, water, internet, etc) so that if I want to just stay by myself for a week or two, I can. Trim up a half or full acre (basically give the area around the house a neat and tidy look), and leave the rest wild. Put up a small shooting range on it, and Iโm pretty much in my idea of heaven. Punch holes in paper in the morning, walk around a bit in the afternoon, and blow shit up online in the evening. All without seeing another soul all day should I choose.

Even if a room or gallery is already named for another donor, I'm sure there's an amount of money the organization would be willing to break their existing contract over.
Agreements like that are legally binding, so I bet they'd have to pay back the original donor's gift plus more. I don't even care about my name on anything, I'd do it anonymously. I just want to stick it to those big wealthy families who think they should get special treatment because their names are on walls all over the place.

Tomorrow, probably not much. I'd probably spend the day dividing $1 Billion by say 65 years (remaining lifestyle with an optimistic look), just over $15 million. Then I'd divide that by 52 to get my budget per week, WTF just under $300,000K.
Alright so doing this really puts billion into perspective. A million would let me live $300/week for life and a billion is $300K? Ridiculous. I guess there is no need to budget with a Bil since I'd have more than I could spend even if I tried. I probably still wouldn't spend much day 1, I'd start making plans to move out of my parents basement and into a nice place of my own though. I guess I'd invite some friends to eat and ofc I'd pay and we'd buy like $1000 worth of expensive good food.

I would like a 3D gaming headset, whichever kind is really good, and all the stupid or cool games on the market.
I am a pretty bad or at best mediocre gamer, and only play casually on a old console. I can't afford the better games and hardware, and I would barely be able to play them even if I could. Horror games give me nightmares, and I hate the constant stress of first person shooters. Puzzle games are cool until they get too hard(I might be stupid). But damn... that 3D shit looks fun.

Iโm late to the party but this is a fun thread.
Option A: Create a giant nonprofit to support human decency. Police brutality case where charges arenโt filed? Politicians create a stupid or borderline illegal law? Sue them with an army of lawyers. Politician says something offensive or stupid? Campaign donation to their opponent, regardless of party. Kid does something nice for follow students? College tuition paid for.
Option B: Buy a soccer team. Not a big one, maybe like a third division English team. Pour a ton on money into the youth academy. Get the best scouts available to recruit talent. Create a huge science and statistics department to be on the cutting edge of innovation. Build a beautiful stadium for them to call home. Slowly increase the transfer budget. Lay the foundation for a dynasty.

Legos. Theyโre an utterly expensive toy that has no real value except being fun. I have everything else I need, but you can never have too many Legos.

I'd use the money and wait until I'm like 70 and run for president in the republican party in a very controversial election where I win despite losing the popular vote

are you assuming you're starting out with 10 billion? and you'd have 9.98 billion after recording some orchestral music, meaning you spent 20 million on your music?

I'd buy up a lot of businesses around the area, just so an American can own them... this area is full of foreign businesses, and they won't give Americans any pay raises :(

For a billion?
Good luck. That's a huge amount of money in most contexts, but in the Co text of national politics it's small change (unless you're in Burkina Faso or somewhere)

Kinda of sad reading a lot of these post that people want to spend on frivolous things. And nobody says they would help their family out or other worthy causes. Sad indeed.

Well, the question was about extravagance. Worthy causes doesn't seem extravagant maybe?

Well, the scope of the question was what you would waste your money on. This does not mean that they would not have good uses. But, that would be another question.

I like that you feel helping out others is frivolous. Either that or you didn't read the post. If the former, bravo. If the later, you really suck.
