Investments, trust funds, paying off debt and my mortgage. Set up enough in investments that I'll always have a million or so in post-tax interest income.
Trust funds and investments for my family so they have money coming in.
Remodel my house.
Rent a condo in Wrigleyville during the Cubs season. Rent a condo in Mesa during spring training.
Open a bar or two.
Hire a dietician/personal cook.
Buy a handful of cars, the most extravagant would probably be a Catterham.
Open an automotive shop to restore cars. I know that'll be a loss but it will be a good hobby for something I like to do.
Travel a bunch. Follow the Cubs for a season and go to every game.
Buy dual citizenship somewhere.
Donate to AOCs campaign.
Club 33 membership.
Occasionally take private jets when I fly, but pick up families that are flying coach when I go and bring them along for free. It's no fun being alone.
Do a bunch of the traditional billionaire things like go fishing on a private yacht.
Finally not stress about going out to dinner.
Conservatively, well call this 5% locked up
Not sure how big your family is, or how much you want to have them coming in, but well call this +5%
10% spent
Now were to a whopping 10.571% "spent" with most of it invested in ways that will pay back entirely in your lifetime. What do you do with the other 4.5B?
Maybe buy a few companies I really hate and just shut them down?
Produce a few films. Hire someone to rewrite and rework the script I have for a short. The premise is good, my writing sucks.
Maybe start a studio, I've always loved the film industry.
Get a pilots license.
Buy a summer house on a lake with a dock.
Get a Grumman Mallard or similar.
Use it as a flying RV and go camping all over.
Build really cool Halloween setups each year.
Hand out full size candy bars.
Get a hair transplant or something.
This might actually put a dent in the €5B :D all of the rest you listed is probably another 5% max.
€5B is an unfathomably large number
Yea. It just gets more ridiculous as I start spending it on the cheapest things. There aren't a lot of things I'd want to do other than work for myself on things that I find enjoyable.
