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.)

Aside from all the usual assumed stuff such as charitable things and helping others I would have a whole room especially for my rabbit! It's would have everything you could get for her. Mind you she already has a tier luxury cage with everything she needs, she comes out too but I just wanted her to have a nice house! I would have a cleaner and I would pay privately for my mental health care so as I could improve much more quickly.

My own box at the Royal Albert Hall - then I wouldn't need to queue in the rain for Proms tickets............................

I'd rescue Bolton Wanderers. Complete money pit but they need a miracle at the moment.

I would buy a loft apartment in Manhattan, villa in Spain, house in New Zealand, first class travel anywhere for me, my husband and kids and my friends....note, not my wider family....we’ll maybe say-in-law and offspring 😬 I would buy a Porsche for me only, posh family car for trips away and another car(s) for every day use😂 I would have an Olympic swimming pool built in my garden and I guess a gym for the man indoors! A sauna that is luck ass hot and steamy whenever I walk in. A heated outside large garden terrace, Spanish slate clearly and also in all slated floors in the house. I would have the best music and TV system on every room (some tellies hidden to look posh clearly) that can play any music, watch any tv show or film at anytime. A Marriott bed in all bedrooms and white fluffy towels, robes and lush sop in every bathroom. I would have my favourite house DJ come and play tunes every Friday at mine for friends round Friday...but they would have to clear the set list with me. I would still go clubbing but the set list it mine to choose as well as DJs. Stick insects and boys in v neck t-shirts and jeans showing their ankles won’t be allowed, neither bouncers who have too much testosterone.
Oh yeah....and work peace

That should be world peace!

I'd fly Jason Statham away to a deserted island with me.

I'd have a rescue sanctuary for animals. Complete dream come true and I guess given my wealth, I would employ staff. I would run free workshops on "so you think you want ..." to help people understand the care needs of their animals, thinking more about Reptiles there.

I can't even..... seriously. This is my dream thread. Reading EVERYTHING.

But off top of my head:

Blow dry and make up every day
Biggest walk-in wardrobe you've ever seen
Nanny
Tickets to every major sporting event throughout the year, with transport/accommodation etc (Ryder Cup, all tennis majors, all Grand Prixs in decent locations etc)

Aston Martin
Bentley
Top of the range Range Rover
Rolls Royce

1. A house designed by Piers off the £100K house on TV
2. House to be surrounded by rolling fields/ woodland that is well fenced so that my very reactive dog can be exercised without being upset/upsetting anyone.
3. Staff
4. Bribe my favourite band to reform for a tour, to which I'd have VIP tickets.

It's nice to daydream.

An amazing cafe that allows in babies AND dogs and has spotless changing facilities

An amazing pub that allows in babies AND dogs and has spotless changing facilities

A night nanny

OMGosh! Love the idea of VIP
tix to every sporting event. Perhaps extend to gigs and events

I would buy the biggest block of flats I can find, renovate the whole building and then house veterans and the homeless

Staff including a chef , cleaner, gardener, chauffeur, make up artist and hairdresser.
Permanent seats at the Tottenham Stadium

House with an amazing wildlife garden, pond, stream etc
A live in cleaner/ housekeeper ( with own cottage in grounds obv)
One of those outdoor guinea pig runs you see in zoos and farm parks with lots of happy guinea pigs with their own houses, tunnels etc
A second home by a beach with fossils

la belle I can’t decide whether to apply to be your housekeeper or suggest you take the cottage whilst I swan about in the big house.
I too rather randomly would love to own guinea pigs again.
I think I may be happy with the cottage !!!

I’d have a chalet on the beach where my Mum’s ashes are. There’s one up for sale now...

shockers I’m close to scattering my ma’s ashes. Sorry you’ve gone through it too.

I want
-all animatronics/dinotronics? From all Jurassic Park/World movies around my mansion
-kids would not be in school. We would have top tutors and governesses and travel 6 months of the year and explore
-have a chauffeur drive me everywhere
-have an acreage for dogs that struggle to find homes and hire people to look after them
-penthouse in Paris, New York, Venice

Personal hairdresser, make up artist, chef, gardener, cleaner, nanny.

Cosmetic surgery, teeth whitening and braces.

I would travel all the time in school holidays with the kids, hotels though not my own houses.

Maybe a few bases over the UK.

I would make the midge extinct.

Fresh stationery every single day.
Get someone to paint beautiful pictures in my bullet journal to pass off as my own.

@HeronLanyon, I’m sorry that you are too. Being on that beach really helps- I chat away to her. I hope you’ve found somewhere that will bring you similar comfort.

A different super car for every day of the week.

All. The. Shoes.

A 1000 litre fish tank (and someone to clean it for me)

All. The. Cats.
