Stuff you want to own when you're rich

  • A space station. Earth might get boring at some point.

That's an interesting one. If I had the cash I would probably pony up for some space tourism in a non-Kerbal vehicle. I'd also look into investing in some architecture or a really cool park that the city could have when I pass so long as my name is there for all eternity.

And all y'all picking harems are doing it wrong. Bangmaids will fulfill everything the harem can do and keep the place tidy as well!
 
A PC to run Fallout 4 and the Collector's Edition that came with a Pipboy.

And then a iOS 5 so that I can play Fallout Shelter AND play Fallout 4.
 
When you're rich you know the power of opportunity cost & compounding. So when you're rich all you want to do is consume your capital in acquiring more capital.
 
Stuff I would buy now if I had loads of money: a nice apartment, a car (providing the apartment has a garage), a fast-ish boat (although boat ownership is a bit of a hassle so I dunno), high-end shotgun and rifle, some various new ski gear, new laptop, new phone and a PS4.
 
A very tiny country or autonomous region of my own. Phrossackstan for Phrossacks!
 
All the country buyers seem to want Greece or Brazil. I wouldn't want to deal with the existing populations. If I were buying a country I would want it to come with a population that has very low expectations. I would buy Cuba. Besides, island countries have easier border management. Also, you can't beat a Caribbean location.
 
Years ago a friend of mine was arrested by the FBI at his compound. I want a compound. Maybe in Mexico.

But the next thing that always happens after getting a compound is you get arrested by the FBI. Unless you own a scientology compound, but then you'd be a scientologist so... compound should be off the list really.

Now if you own an "estate," then you're safe. Even if it is compound-ish.
 
Well, an SR-71 Blackbird would be pretty cool to have. But since those are hard to buy, I'd be willing to settle for a Cessna Citation X.

A house in the Adirondacks and one near downtown Raleigh would be nice to have, as would a new computer and iPhone 6. Maybe I could buy a supercomputer. As for ground transport, I'd probably buy a new bike, and a Toyota Camry (I'm not big into cars).

The rest of the money I'd put into savings or give to various organizations.
 
Nothing extravagant. All I really want is a house in a nice neighborhood, a Tesla Model S, and enough leftover money to never have to work again and to be able to afford to go to all of the concerts that I want to. The rest of this hypothetical fortune can be donated to charity I guess.

They are really hard to buy, but come and visit and we can go see one up close. Even just that is very cool!
 
Well, I could buy a nice detached medium sized house. I like this traditional British house design I've seen - lounge / dining kitchen / attached garage downstairs, 3 beds including a massive one on top of the garage upstairs.

Would be lovely.

I put to you that there are far more examples of that house in the US than there are in Britain, so I question calling it a "traditional British house design." In fact, as soon as you say "attached garage" I think you are looking at something that originates in the generally tacky realm of the US.
 
Oh well. They call the downstairs plan without the garage traditionally English, with the main lounge and kitchen / dining behind it. That's the most I'll be getting eventually, without a garage.

Bah, I have to wait up to 2 weeks for my first appointment with the work service that's gonna help me find a job, and offer training prior to that.
