If you had all the money in the World...

What would you buy...or

What would you do with the money?

I'll start off...


I would buy a house in California and just spend the rest of my life surfing, and writing posts on Daniweb

If you had all the money in the world, how would you expect to find a market in which you could buy a house?

according to this you would own the world if you had all the money in the world,,,but i know what mallard is getting at......you mean rich like warren buffet or the sheik in Saudi. then definitely pay for a lot of the kids who are suffer from hunger and malnutrition, then contribute to the cure for breast cancer, build houses for all my family & friend and get then any thing they want, i would give dani all the money she would ever need to keep this going,,,,

If I had all the money in the world -- I'd give it away to everyone that wants it. But I'd have to be very careful about that too because it could cause a surge in the inflation rate. If I gave everyone a million dollors (pounds, or whatever currency you like) then it might cost a thousand dollars for a gallon of gas or an apple. If I invested it in the stock market then the price of stocks would skyrocket. The only way to avoid high world-wide inflation rates with that much money is to hide it under my mattress and not spend any of it. In that case what good would it be ?

I would destroy the economy and take over the world.

If I'd have all the money in the world, money would be called something else.

yah, if one person had all the money in the world the economy would no longer be money based and therefore that money would have no value over the intrinsic value of its base materials.

So the paper notes would make novelty toilet paper, the coins would be melted down into metal bars and exchanged for goods more useful to me.

Instead of being incredibly literal I think I will answer the way he intended the question. If I was obscenely rich I would find the best landscape in Maine (heart-stopping sunsets, mountains in the background with an old country road no one uses) and have my dream house built. Two floors, first floor has everything I need except for what is on the second, Second floor is a large library with a computer in the middle. I would buy the best computer I could find and run the fastest internet around out to my house. I would have one room facing the mountains with a huge window that I could look out of. I would have a modest TV (30 in) and your average cable package. No phone because I hate talking to people that way. I would listen to 100.3 WKIT all the time while I cooked and surfed the web. I would read and write for most of the day and sleep only when required.

Well just to carry on this one, I would buy a state in America or buy a county in England, name it whatever i like, and drive around it with my fleet of super-cars.
