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.)

Personal trainer, stylist, hairdresser and make up artist.
Hundreds of super-expensive designer handbags.
Private jet.
Chauffeur, chef, gardener and housekeeper.

How did I not think of this one earlier

I would pay someone else to pick up after the dogs!

I would still walk them but have someone else with me just for the picking up the poop.

Maker sure family are debt free. And donate a crazy amount to charity’s the biggest chunk to a Neurofibromatosis one (a condition I have) the rest for small local ones.

One more - i’d fund a load of random ranges of scientific research - from Cancer/disease to oceanographic to wildlife etc. They could have all the funding they wanted as long as they let me tag along on interesting field trips, and allow me to wander around the labs looking in microscopes

Fat farm til I was skinny again even if I do look 'gaunt' (thanks, cousin!)

Big house, air con, indoor school, a few cracking warmbloods and a very patient confidence giving instructor.

Clean sheets daily, courtesy of a cleaner.

I'd make Honda make some of the old shape CRVs, brilliant cars.

I'd like a gun range where i get to shoot loads of guns and throw grenades. Safely of course.

I'd like to buy Southfork Ranch off Dallas and live in a compound with my family, but in separate houses. I'd like Pa Ingalls to be my ranch hand.

I'd eat and drink only things grown on my ranch.

I’d hire the local trampoline park for an evening every month so my children and their friends could have a relaxed bounce session with their own music and no random people messing with their chill. It has a little cafe so there would be coffee enough for everyone, and food for after.

I would hire all of the merlin attractions for a day so we as a family could make some nice memories because our DD11 is autistic and does not cope well with crowds and being as she's the youngest of 5DC it effects all of the DC.

I would hire a chef to make all of our meals so my poor DH would get a break from all of the cooking.

I would have someone come and do mine and my 2DD's 11 and 16's hair every single day.

I would pay someone to do my ironing because I hate doing it. I have about 10 shirts to iron today and I drove past an ironing shop and I was tempted to drop them off their but my other half said that I would be lazy to do that.

PA for me

Surgery :

Boobs

Inner thighs

Cars :

Nannies would get a top spec Range each

I'd have properties in: UK, Switzerland, Canada. Probably rent apartments in my fave cities ie. NYC, Paris etc.

I'd have a professional interior decorator do all of my projects.

I'd go to a LOT of cooking schools in Italy, Thailand, Scotland etc.

I'd never ever travel on public transport ever again.
Private healthcare all the way.

I'd never eat leftovers or out of Tupperware unless I was doing some random remote outward bound camping for some desperately needy charity.

@managedmis

Labiaplasty?

Why on earth do you want that? It makes my eyes water just thinking about it!

Pay Justin / Robert the Robot / various CBeebies crew to entertain DD & her friends so I could guilt free enjoy the spa in my huge mansion. Go to the Galapagos with David Attenborough 😀

House with a swimming pool
Big garden to grow fruit & veg
Lots of room for rescued animals
Fresh bedding every day
Fresh flowers every week
staff - cleaner, gardener, personal trainer
Someone to sort out my clothes
And someone to look after it all when I was away flying first class to Tahiti or Easter Island or the Galapagos or wherever I fancied

@Wincarnis

I need to throw some of my clothes away especially my handbags or shoes but I can't bring myself to do it ...

I'd hire a hairdresser full time. Daily blow drys.
Parties catered and decorated by professionals every month.
My own fabulous dressmaker.
A glass of Champagne every evening.

How shallow I sound........

Oh, and a few days in the Maldives in a beach villa every month. Plus all Christmas and New Year in the Maldives with my family and friends.

@Mileysmiley ideally I would like to throw EVERYTHING out and start again, but of course that needs $$$$

@Wincarnis

I buy a lot of my clothes in sales and I have a lot of designer stuff. Today my new evening dress from John Lewis is being delivered ... I got it for half price

A lot of the stuff posted are things that I'd expect as part of the billionaire lifestyle. More 'everyday' life rather than a ridiculous and indulgent billionaire splurge.

Or maybe my inner billionaire is just a spoilt bitch?

I would have my own personal prawn peeler/deveiner person. Fresh prawns all day every day.

I’d pay someone to drive my car and camping equipment to long distance European destinations while I flew.

I would buy an island - something like this
www.privateislandsonline.com/caribbean/bahamas/the-berry-islands/alder-cay
I spend many an enjoyable hour dreaming of island living via this website!

Oh good god that’s beautiful.

That island is amazing!
