I know it's only a dream but if you were hugely rich how would you spend your money? I know you would invest it too but you would still need to enjoy it. ha ha
If I had 300 million I would buy a swishy penthouse overlooking the Thames in London, a smallish mansion in the greenbelt of Surrey or Bekshire, an apartment in New York, a villa in the Bahamas, a flat in Paris, a ski chalet in Switzerland, another villa in southern Italy. I would also fly by private jet,all the time, and would hire a great big private yacht to take all my family and friends (about 40 of us) on cruises round the Greek Islands and Italian Riviera, Caribbean, Grenadines...
I know my OH would buy a red Ferrari (his dream car) and a Bentley and Range Rover. I would buy a little runaround to do me shopping, a nice comfortable one. I wouldn't scrimp on my jewellery though ha ha, I would want a big pink diamond with earings to match.
I would probably start my own bussines too more for fun than anything.
If you came into fabulous wealth like that what would you do?

My life wouldn't be a lot different from now except I'd be taking Cocaine as well. :beer:
I'm on my way out to Nana Plaza Bangkok tonight.
Few beers with my mates, visit to Tony Roma's for onion bread and ribs then off to nail some lucky lady from the Go Go bar.
Looking at Husky dogs tomorrow then BBQ at my mates.
Sunday going to stay near the coast. Got another sexy lady waiting.
Could be worse.We love Sarah O Grady0 -
I would buy a string of racehorses and give them comically rude names. And then set up a stud farm and found a dynasty of rude-named horses. I wouldn't mind if they won or not, as long as the commentator had to say their names. I would also train monkeys to be jockeys for dog racing.
My house would have a light up staircase like in the Billie Jean video.
After that I'd get bored and would give it away to charity.They are an EYESORES!!!!0 -

Husky does not barbeque well, I would stick to the sausages.0 -
I'd give £290 million away to people who need it. Nothing you can buy will ever replace the feeling of helping others and seeing the smile on their face. Doing good and what you deep down believe to be right is much more rewarding than anything that can be bought.Have owned outright since Sept 2009, however I'm of the firm belief that high prices are a cancer on society, they have sucked money out of the economy, handing it to banks who've squandered it.0

set up my own business, backed and funded by the government called "Chav Hunters" where I would drive round in the Anti-Chavmobile all day. Whenever I saw a group of chav I would pull over, and my foot soldiers would leap out of the back and give the Chavs a Govt sanctioned beating. We would even have a purple flashing light for when we are in pursuit of any chaved up vehicles.0
