If you were a billionaire, what's the most ridiculous and indulgent thing you would use your money for?

[Vasya]

Setting aside for the moment the fact that the existence of billionaires is a sign of a broken economy and they shouldn't exist... what is the most self-indulgent, ridiculous thing you would pay for if you were one?

I'll start:

1. Hire Stevie Nicks to work with me to write a love song about my husband.

1. Host a dinner party catered by Alain Passard

1. Daily back, neck and shoulder aromatherapy massage before bed

(And I don't want any worthy suggestions about world hunger and scholarship programmes. That stuff is all assumed. I want the fun, stupid stuff you could have just because you were rich enough.)

Own motorway lane (yes like Audi Amin, sorry) and driver to take us to wherever we are going. Or maybe private plane everywhere, although poss dangerous for DC. Very tricky.

Definitely daily housekeeper approx 2-3 hours per day.

Own yacht for sure. Massive one. Full staff. Fly all friends out as required. Only want to use it 4 times or so per year, gotta keep my feet on be ground!

I would have a fabulous library but would also hire my favourite actors to make audio versions of all my favourite books. I may even have them follow me around to read to me in person as I go about my day.

Outrageous amounts of Chanel stuff.

I would have a very expensive luxury yacht which would be staffed 365 days per year so that I could just fly out on a whim whenever I wanted to

I’d buy an island

I’d only eat food that I had grown on my land, so only bread made from my wheat, ketchup from my tomatoes etc. Might be a big tricky for coffee and bananas so a massive green house too.

Open a luxury retreat for fed up MNers to stay free of charge when they feel burnt out.

I'd have at least 4 houses dotted around the world with a live-in cleaner/maintenance person in each. I'd also have a huge art collection.

iklboo like a mn dedicated ‘spa day’ type thing ?

I'd have a chef, hairdresser, stylist, and personal trainer. They could have their own cottages on the large estate that I would buy. I'd also like weekly back massages. I would have 2 hot holidays a year instead of one.

And I think pp suggestion of someone to put up and take down Christmas decorations is an amazing idea! I would live like a kardashian but without being on tv. And I'd keep my own bottom...although I might pay for a boob lift

And I'd get a dog because I'd have a garden big enough!

@HeronLanyon - nah. A gin, chocolate & sec toy one

*sex toy

A house donkey.

More liposuction than anyone thought humanly possible

Daily massages from a ripped Jason Momoa lookalike

Clean bedsheets every day

A house big enough to have my own mumcave, along with live in staff to clean it. Not too big though.

I'd never wash my own hair, it drives me insane having to do it all and it's not even frizzy or hard to maintain. I just hate having to wash it.

A chauffeur for most of the daily driving, other people on the roads piss me off something horrendous.

I'd donate a ridiculous amount of money too. Probably build some housing facility in my city, for homeless people who just need that 'leg up'

I'd take my kids and all the kids in my friendship circle to Disneyland, first class

Oh and I'd have about 500 chickens that can just free range around my property. With someone to shovel the poop, obviously. I'd just feed and coo over them.

Full size replica of the Xenomorph from Alien. Always wanted one 😁

Like your style😀

I saw a slightly smaller than life size model at comicon last year, I was drooling (but wasn't a billionaire so couldn't afford it.😂)

A sewing room and a library.

I would buy a top of the range automatic car for just bootling around in.
Hire a chauffeur for longer journeys as driving is boring (and there are too many idiots allowed to drive)

Top of range motor home so we could just go off anytime we wanted for a few days hols.

Flat in London so I could fly down to see west end shows.

Big house with big bedrooms, kitchen.and library. Huge garden. Room for chickens, dogs, cats, special guinea pig and rabbit areas.
(Obviously I would have people who would take care of them all.when we were away)
Gardener to do boring stuff like weeding, cutting back, grass cutting so i get the good jobs like planting out.
Go holidays to whale watch, bear watch, safari, exploring intetesting places etc.

Go back to disney/universal Florida with kids for a month and do other places we didn't get time to do last time. First class all the way.

Oh and buy that Zenomorph😂

So many things!
*Personal hairstylist/make up artist
*Travelling the world
*Daily back massages
*Flats in several major cities (New York, Tokyo, London off the top of my head)
*Starting a rabbit rescue. I'd obviously have other people to do the actual work, but I'd have an endless supply of bunnies needing pets!
*Annual passes to all the Disney parks across the world
*Housekeepers, drivers, a full range of staff
*A well maintained VW campervan
*A massive library

Funnily enough decorating Christmas trees and wrapping presents would pretty much be my dream job!

My own personally blended perfumes. Several of them.

Shopping at the Geneva jewellery auctions

Highly skilled dressmaker

Silver polisher - every item polished once a week

Fabulous gardens which would have lots of staff but I would potter about doing bits and bobs

Beautiful grand piano although my playing is awful

Stunning artwork in every room.

Chauffeur - on call for all school runs and long journeys

Housekeeper - including putting away all washing. And never again would I empty a dishwasher

Nanny - particularly for crap bits like bath-time, teeth brushing, sorting out squabbles and rainy afternoons.

I'd definitely have a herd of alpacas. And lots of cats. And dogs. Loo ts of animals in general.

Plus a chef, clean sheets, daily massage and blow dry, frequent facials, millions of books, cinema and many horror films, a craft room full of beautiful yarn for knitting and crochet, and gorgeous embroidery supplies, metal bands playing live for my and DS's birthday party and pop for DD, a room full of excessively expensive skincare, perfume and makeup, a wide selection of bath oils..... I could quite easily spend billions of pounds on total nonsense.

Oh god, forgot my most important...If I did decide to drive and not use the chauffeur...

Someone to go ahead of us to places with crap parking and bagsy the best spot.

Hate hate hate limited parking, so stressful.

Oh, and this person can also fill up the cars with petrol. Such a tedious task

Personal chef at home who is contractually bound to serve only delicious healthy food

Weekly mani-pedi
I would never ever do laundry or ironing again
Cleaner everyday - bins emptied daily
Fresh cut bouquets of flowers 2x per week

After I’d paid for my children’s school/college bus passes for the next few years, I’d have enough left for some cake...
