Figured, I'll make an offer and put my tax refund down.

Buy a cargo ship and convert it into a floating hotel with a racetrack and a jump on the bow so you can drive your motorcycle off of it and deploy your parachute over the ocean.
Purchase a tropical island then build your own treefort community on it and re enact lord of the flies.
Buy a Pinto Wagon and have it restored with a carbon fiber body then put some fancy twin turbo engine in it.

In the movies, rich people buy volcanic islands and hollow it out to put a submarine base to launch their plans for world domination. In real life, they buy iPhones with diamonds on them. Bleh.It always surprises me on how tasteless some of these mansions are. Rich people are boring. They all do the same stuff. "Buy excessively large house, have it decorated by 60 year old woman" "buy several hundred million dollar yacht to compete with other super rich people" "buy veyrons and mclarens". Boring.

Is that so hard?There is a fairly small number of multi-billionaires. Millionaires really can't afford much in the grand scheme of things, so it limits their options.
