Things you would do or buy if you were FILTHY GODDAMN RICH
So you just won a billion dollars. What do you buy, and what do you do? Be as selfish as you want, none of this charity bullshit, because that isn't what this is about.
Here's what I would buy:
- A house in Cambridge
- A house in Windsor
- A house in Santa Monica, California
- A place of some sort in Monaco
- A place in Amsterdam
- A house on Texel, NL, near my aunts and uncles and junk
- 1 Rolls Royce Phantom for cruising
- 1 Lotus Sport Exige for tracking
- 1 Ariel Atom for nearly dying in every time I'd drive it
- 1 Maybach S62 for when I'm feeling saucy and in need of chauffering
- 1 Mini Cooper S JCW Convertible
- A huge plot of land here in Cambridge on which to build my own racetrack and garage paddock
- A fleet of 8 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradales with which to do battle with my friends each and every weekend
- A Wallypower 118 yacht
THINGS I WOULD DO:
- Invest whatever I don't spend initially
- Buy a nice new Mercedes S-Class and go to a really busy intersection in downtown Toronto one busy summer afternoon in a traffic jam, then get out and start smashing the car with a hammer while yelling "OH GOD WHAT AM I DOING *smash* OH NO NO SERIOUSLY SOMEBODY STOP ME OH THE HORROR" and then, when my helicopter comes to pick me up, it will engulf the area entirely in smoke and I'll make my getaway while the helicopter, on its attached PA system, blares Wagner's "Ride of The Valkyries"
- Hire Jeremy Clarkson to follow me around and ramble nonsensically about things
- Hire George Carlin to rant about things on command while swearing every 3rd or 4th word (no change from his usual routine, really)
- Throw a ridiculous party every weekend at one of my houses, free everything for guests
- uhhhh some other stuff here
So yeah that's what I'd do, maybe. Ridiculous and very selfish yes, but it's $1 billion, come on.
What would YOU do?
