horde expensive things, cure a disease or two, travel everywhere, buy at least one Bugatti Veyron, give the wife her own Amex black card, buy land, lots of it

(assuming all of the stuff in the OP is taken care of)

How are you going to live the lifestyle of an eccentric Super Multi Billionaire?

After the above which is clearly very important, spend the rest of my life traveling the United States, feeding it. After all have had a full stomach and no more hunger for a long time, then focus on the rest of the world.

That should keep me busy until the day I die.

Commander Quan · 02-04-2010, 05:17 PM

Oh I though of a couple more. I want my hip joints replaced with ball barrings, an air ride suspension to replace the disks in my back, and a by pass valve installed before my stomach, so I can decide what my body will digest and if I decide to fill up on McRibs sandwiches or a pound of foie gras I wouldn't have to worry, about buying new pants every 2 weeks

Mr.Erskine · 02-04-2010, 05:15 PM

Pay all my bills... buy my wife a Dodge Charger, buy a Rolls Royce Phantom drophead Coupe, buy a nice house, and then deposit the rest around the world in interest bearing accounts.

sikk50 · 02-04-2010, 05:27 PM

Buy my way into the white house and fire everyone.
Buy the Budweiser factory and shut it down.
Build a log cabin manson in Colorado and shoot anything that comes within half a mile of my cabin.
Fly all of CA to said cabin where I will have Carlos Fuente and his rolling team making footballs for everyone.

OH! Almost forgot, buy a buffalo and name it skittles...Why? Because I can dammit!

icehog3 · 02-04-2010, 05:36 PM

1. Buy Scott (MajorCaptSilly) some stuff.
2. Pay off all my family's debt.
3. Buy a winter home in the South and a summer home in Chicagoland.
4. Get season tickets for the Blackhawks.
5. Throw the biggest herf imaginable for the Inmates here...on a monthly basis.

Are you an inmate here? Feel free to answer in the Banter forum so we don't clog this one up.

Pay off my debt, but myself a moderate sized house on a decent amount of land (read 3000sqf on 5-10 acres), put enough away to pay all my major expenses for life, and donate the rest to someplace.

Then I'd continue working part time or at whatever job I really enjoy.

MedicCook · 02-04-2010, 10:13 PM

I would probably blow all the money on cigars, hookers & booze.
