If you were one of the 10 richest people in the world...

[Supafly]

Hi guys,

here is the scenario. Imagine you are one of those people who actually have those billions of dollars.

The source on Forbes.Com

The 'poorest' of them ^^, the only german guy up there, Karl Albrecht, has a mere 23.5 $

Tell me:

What would be your

- Town Residence (If already existence but owned by other people, post picture)

- Country Residence (Dito)

- Vehicle for land traveling

- Vehicle for sea traveling

- Vehicle for air traveling

- Your job / The activities you would spend the main portion of your time on

Here are my faves:

Town Residence: The 'Ile de France' It features the gorgeous Notre dame curch and it is an island in the heart of Paris, the ultimate romantic city.

Country Residence: The 'Veste Coburg' - It is a classic german fortress, and I have visited it with my father - he was working for the ministry for cultural affairs here and he helped the manager of the place to get the job. We were led through the secret walkways in the buildings and as we came to a cellar room, really large there were a lot of basic racks with big folders. The manager drew one of them out at random and showed us a bunch of fantastic drawings. He said, cooly, 'We got the works of Albrecht Dürer pretty much complete down here. I knew that Dürer was a workaholic, but to see how much awesome art he put out that is just lying around down there knocked me out.

Vehicle for land travel: The Maybach 62 S

Vehicle for sea travel: Along the lines of Abramovich's top yacht

Vehicle for Air Travel: A custom Airbus A380 like this

My job: Creating a museum with Albrecht Dürers art and providing scholarships for young artists. Specializing in joing the classic concept of art as Dürer etc created bringing it to the 21st century, interactive etc.

That's it folks, now give me your imagination!

If I had that kind of money, Im pretty sure Id build my own private island. Then I'd fortify the hell out of it with a private army, top of the line defensive equipment, mine the water around it and then create an elaborate conspiracy theory to put down any rumours it actually existed.

Then within its guarded perimeter, under a blanket of secrecy, the largest harem known to man! And a vault! A vault piled high with my riches!

Then as my parting gift to the world, Id buy nuclear warheads, leave them dotted around the world and connect their triggers to my heart beat, so when I die the world would join me! In a glorious crescendo of cleansing fire!

Why am I not surprised.

If I had that much money (we're talking billions here) I'd start a family first of all, then I'd start a business and soon after many other businessess, and I'd make sure that I succeed in each of them, because if you don't make money reproduce itself you go poor, and going from billionaire to poor is just bullshit....then I'd try to solve as many problems as possible in this world, like world hunger, and Mal-nutrition and everything else that countries don't want to take care off because it doesn't benefit them in any way.

Because I know that, there's nothing like dying and knowing you'll go down in history to possibly become a saint 1000 years from now.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

- Town Residence (If already existence but owned by other people, post picture) -- I would have quaint living places, no mansions, in several locations throughout North America: log cabin in Oregon's forests; beach house by the Atlantic Ocean; a house in the area I grew up, and somewhere in Alaska.

- Country Residence (Dito) -- America; maybe few other countries I would like to have simple homes in. Maybe.

- Vehicle for land traveling -- Whatever looks cool in my Forza games. I honestly never had a fantasy car I would want to own. If it gets me to point A to point B, I am perfectly fine. I would probably buy a few American muscle cars though.

- Vehicle for sea traveling -- This: http://www.liveyachting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sea-force-one-yacht-profile.jpg -- It looks like a warship.

- Vehicle for air traveling -- I would probably just use a regular old airplane. First class. I really do not want to own my own jet. If I need somewhere fast I would already be there because I am organized. If it is a sudden calling, well, there will all of a sudden be waiting involved until I get there. And between webcam conferences, cell phones, and other means of communication I really do not need to be anywhere in haste.

- Your job / The activities you would spend the main portion of your time on -- I would most likely volunteer somewhere. I am decent at money investment and would be able to live the rest of my life off of the lowest billionaire's worth value. I would also like to hold a bi-yearly money grant program. It would be of my choice. If there is one thing I do not like it is those: send me your letters and tell me why I should do this. No! I will decide if I want to do. I do not want to read any sob stories, sympathy tales, or any of that sort. If I believe in something I will believe strongly in partaking in their success.

I would be one of the most boring billionaire ever. I am a simple individual that thinks money is of no importance except to get by and enjoy life with a little. That is why I would most likely be sharing it and keep very little for myself.

- Town Residence (If already existence but owned by other people, post picture)

BlueBallsville, my money, my town, my name mothefuckers. If you don't like it move to one of those loser countries like Canada.

- Country Residence (Dito)

Zimbabwe - fresh pickens of hungry chicks willing to do whatever for food. Copious amounts of human labour available and the cheapest possible price. Slaves out the ass.

And a leader who knows how to get things done.

- Vehicle for land traveling

The backs of my slaves.

- Vehicle for sea traveling

The corpses of my former slaves.

- Vehicle for air traveling

My personal F-117 Nighthawk given to me personally by president Hilton after I bailed their economy out from the depths of sheer oblivion.

- Your job / The activities you would spend the main portion of your time on

Servicing my wenches and setting up human hunts with my wealth buddies.

 

[tartanterrier]

I would let anybody know and use public transport as per nornal.

Buy plenty of properties around the world so I wouldn't need to work,
and instead just move house every quarter and have fun.

With the interest I would get every year,I would split it 50/50 and live
on that for the year and give the rest to charites.

Now that sounds like the good life to me

::Correction::

- Luanda. Big ass houses in at least 2 other countries, no mansions though (private tennis courts, golf courses and soccer fields are overrated).

- Angola. I'd prolly have houses in different places...then again maybe not.

- Something classic, a limo would only be used in special occasions. I'd probably have my drivers ride some Mercedes cars or something.

- Yachts of course, and possibly cruise ship, outside my country of course. My cruise ship would most likely be a hotel to accommodate the people who have money, and would most likely be stationed in somewhere near France. Part of my business.

- A jet, and a fast one, rich busy men cannot settle for less than that. Every minute decisions are made, but in order to execute them one must have mobility, and fast vehicles are important.

- Like I said, I'd probably spend most of my time trying to help first of all the youth of my country, giving them scholarships and what not, making sure that they get a chance to demonstrate their potential, by going new places and learning new things. I'd create orphan homes, for the countless children who have nowhere to go and no one to take care of them (who often end up becoming criminals). I'd create industries like a madman just so I could employ people in order to diminish the high criminality rate in my country, keeping the youth busy so that they don't steal/kill/rape and kidnap.

Affirming my culture, after all there is so much about Angola that people don't know, that needs to be shown to the world. Making sure that our dances, and music and tradition is recognized by the whole world as ours. That would mean I'd have lots of Angolan artists working with me in this cause, helping them expand their gift and show the world who we are.

And also, I'd help my continent, by trying to be of use to any government that should need my help. And last but not least I would try my best to be a good father, as my father was for me. If a man can't leave children that can carry his legacy in this world, a man has done nothing. That's what I believe.

 

[STDiva]

I'd move to New Zealand. That would be my city and country living. I don't need two houses, and I don't want two houses. If I felt the need to see some place else, I'd vacation.

I'd probably drive a BMW X5, or a Volkswagon Golf. I like those cars.

I wouldn't own a boat. Or a plane.

I wouldn't work.

 

[pornophile]

I would pay NASA to build me my own personal space shuttle, hire a whole team of astronauts, and blast off this fucking rock to the nearest fucking rock, Mars. There I'd build my own colony for future space travel. It would be a kick ass colony, with bars and stripclubs on every corner. And tech/science labs too of course. All my remaining money I'd pay to my favorite pornstars to come and live with me in my Martian palace. I'd start my own porn company featuring low gravity cumshots and women fucking in spacesuits, etc. All revenue would go towards future construction of my colony.

 

[mrtrebus]

I happen to be independently wealthy, so this isn't a scenario that interests me.

[lurkingdirk]

Ah, change mine. I'd probably blow it all on hookers and blow.

 

[D-rock]

If I had that much money I would be able to pay off most of Roald's Red Bull, liquor, and lap dance tabs he has built up over the years at Freeones parties not to mention bets he made with Petra that didn't work out for him if I used it all for that.

 

[LukeEl]

Like I mentioned before I would be the wacky philantrophist. I would buy the worlds fattest race horse, and touch every door handle 3 times before opening it.

 

[Legzman]

fuck if I know. I can't even comprehend that kind of money.

 

[Peter Gazinya]
