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.)

It doesn't sound self indulgent but I'd love to just randomly pay for things for strangers. I gave a guy in front of me at the till in Heron Foods 40p towards a lucozade the other.
I felt like a queen all day, he was so grateful! Imagine that on billionaire scale.

I would buy so much lego, playmobil etc! I’d have a room for each. I’d set out the sets like a huge town.

I’d open a mental health cafe as well.

Somehow make it so I don’t have crap thin hair.

Botox.

Full time housekeeper and personal groomer.

im House nanny so I can have endless kids and not worry about the hassle of it all lol

Someone to pick up all my sons toys, put washing away - basically a housekeeper. That doesn’t feel like an indulgence though, more a necessity.
Massages, daily fitness trainer, facials.
More horses, more dressage lessons, more competitions. Brand new horsebox. Matchy matchy horsey gear
I could go on for quite a while...

I'd go to centreparcs for a week

I’d fly to the Maldives first class and stay at the nicest resort for two weeks. I would bring a nanny along with my kids. But I would fly out a few days earlier 😀

I would also do other luxury holidays.

An apartment in Paris and London filled with plants. Travel the world. slightly bigger house, someone else to do all the washing and ironing, a car, walled garden with trained fruit trees and a lovely conservatory with peach and lemon trees where I could have afternoon tea in delicate china cups with rose shortbread. I’d go to the theatre lots and have a library and learn to cook really well. Possibly a personal yoga person too. A couple of cats.

Have an entire set of shoes and boots made for my ridiculously shaped clown feet.

I'm feeling quite peevish today so I'm going to raise my spirits by using a few million to help save the country. I will pay off all the Loose Women and GregG Wallace, Paul Hollywood and Nick Knowles to bugger off and never appear on tv again. Ahhh, that's better and still got enough cash to buy a cup of tea.

I would buy as much land as possible to set up as nature reserves and also animal rescue centres. I would then employ people who care to look after them. Not just in this country.

Me and DH once said if we could we'd have our own traffic light system so if ever one of our cars approached a set of lights they would always turn to green for us immediately.

Travel

Someone to carry me upstairs to bed when I'm too bloody knackered to walk. Not every night, mind. That would be ridiculous.

Fresh figs and cream cheese for breakfast every day. A heavy lashed, big brown eyed jersey cow of my own. And a huge, beautiful pool full of curious rays and grumpy octopuses.

@pp12 I've got neurofibromatosis too!! Most people don't have a clue when I tell them!

Back to the original question, I would:

Have someone change my sheets daily, washed and dried outside.
Have someone do all the washing, folding and putting away.
Personal trainer.
Personal stylist (clothes, hair and make up)
Personal masseuse (for back massages)
Personal manicurist
Someone to catch all the spiders in my house

And I'd pay Tom Hiddleston to read me Shakespeare

And hire the Go Jetters for my little boy and maybe Mr Tumble...just not Biggleton that show gives me the rage

Ohh, having Tom Hiddleston in to read for you reminded me that I want some of the team from Strictly / Dancing with the Stars Ireland to teach me to dance. And, despite the fact that I look like a pig on its back legs when dancing, I want them to constantly tell me what a natural I am. Gorka for Paso and most of the latin, Giovanni for tango and John (from DWTS Ireland) for ballroom. I'll skip the rhumba because it's cringy.

A full time chef, PT and driver.

I hate cooking and ferrying everyone around all the time

I’d also buy the biggest diamond ring I could

Indulgence (on that scale) doesn't sit well with me: bit like bread. And sugar 😱

I'd update my will though so that the next generation could indulge to excess 😊

JUST one thing. New socks every day. Oooh, can you imagine?

And I'd buy Tom Hardy to be my pretend husband

(He'd literally have a script to read from) 😂
