I'd buy my favorite football team (Neza FC) and make it the next Paris Saint Germain: Sign Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Quaresma, Neuer, Falcao, Jackson Martínez, Insigne, Toni, Carlos Vela... build a 60,000 new Stadium to replace the old Neza 86, bring in Antonio Mohamed as coach, buy the rights to use the old logo and name (Toros Neza), and make it the best team in Mexico and both North and South America...

Or maybe I'd buy 7 Bugatti Veyron's and 7 Rolex's... one for each day of the week...

or the Taj Mahal... and make it a huge Discoteque...

or buy a hotel in Vegas...

or a giant moonstone as a gift to my girl...

or maybe the whole moon...

Or a Hummer H2 all covered in gold...

or a House in Sicily with 4 pools...

or a lifetime supply of Coca-Cola...

or a lifetime subscription to Brazzers...

Maybe buy Barcelona FC and then sell everybody... just for the lulz... (and because I hate "Farsa")...

Or a Tank... or a T-Rex...

Or maybe I'd buy PD, fire Kaz, build new facilities and hire lots of capable, competent people so we could have a new GT every 3 years...

'Money can't buy happiness, but I'd rather cry in a Ferrari.' - Ain't that right Danny :sly:

I would be one of those secret millionaires. I'd spend my time endlessly exploring very, very cold places, visiting the untouched regions of the world, as there are very few left now. The likes of both the Earths Polar regions and the Frozen North of Canada. So little people will ever see these beautiful landscapes with their own two eyes and that's when they're still there.

Mountains are another of the great visuals I would kill to see up close and personal and even climb them. Towering giants in the sky, reaching into the edges of space itself. Mountains draw me in because of their sheer scale. They're absolutely huge, just imagine being able to stand at the top of the highest peaks on our planet.

Soon there will be not much left of these pristine, virgin patches on Earth, that's why if I was 'Super Rich', I would make the most of being able to see some of the best things Nature has to offer, I don't care too much for money, it would just be so much easier not having to worry about it.

One of my favourite quotes; From Dances with Wolves.

"You wish to see the Frontier?..."

"Yes Sir, before it's gone."
 
Recreate that secrete island from Test Drive Unlimited.

Only with a better track, a smoother landscape, and populate the open areas with lions. Make sure they can't find their way onto the track or into the guest/living areas.

Then built an observation area on the top floor of my house, then invite people to race on the track. Turn it into a business.
 
If I acquired some outrageous sum of money, I would do the following:

-Give immediate family members their fair share.
-Build dream home with 10 car garage back home in NJ.
-Fill mentioned garage with: 1969 and 1979 Lincoln Continentals (Mark III and V) , 1979 Cadillac Deville Sedan, 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 2013 Ford F-150, 2013 Ford Taurus SHO, 2009 Hummer H2 :sly:, 2006 Hummer H1 :sly:, 2013 Ferrari 458 Italia
-Start several real charities where the money actually goes to the causes, not into people's pockets, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's research.
-Buy out NASCAR and return it to its former glory.
-Start my own "adult films" company. :D
-Bring GTA: San Andreas to the PS3 and XBox 360, complete with major physics and graphics overhaul, in addition to all beta features being included plus a greatly expanded storyline. 👍
-Invest in various other ventures so I'll be financially set for life.

If I was really, really rich, I'd start my own car company, on the scale that VW/Audi is today. A full lineup, from an entry level city car to something as bespoke and incredible as the Pagani Huayra. I'd also buy up a garage of all sorts of cars, and have the garage open to the public as a museum. I'd also build a racetrack, which would be open to the public.
 
How much are we talking here? I assume no more than the biggest lotto payouts? Let's say... $400 million? Spain's got the biggest, but it's split between so many tickets it's not the same.

Well, a solid $15 million would go towards building a dream home somewhere within Toronto. I won't pretend to know enough about architecture to do it myself, but I would share my tastes and ideas with a hired pro to see what's possible. I'd probably dump that much back into the real estate market here and use the rental money as income, since there's no signs of it slowing down any time soon.

I'd pick up a 2013 Vanquish ASAP. Not here of course; I'd submit my personal build and then fly over to Gaydon to get acquainted. Before leaving, a few million would go to family members to pay off houses or debts or anything of that sort, with some spending money on top. But I'd be quite clear that they wouldn't be coming with me across the pond, and likely wouldn't be hearing from me for at least a few months :D. I'd go visit Evo's offices and see if they wouldn't mind taking on another Simon George-like contributor, and probably look at buying some sort of living space... somewhere in England. Not entirely sure where.

The Vanq would start a trip across Europe, taking in far too many locations to name. It might need a break by the time I get to Italy, which is perfect, since my Aventador would hopefully be ready by then (let's pretend I can get a bump up the wait list). Only then would I have the right chariot to visit Maranello :sly:. I think I'd hunt for something a bit more maneuverable for any further driving though; probably a Z4 M Coupe, one that I could eventually have shipped back to Canada easily enough, with an M3's V8 awaiting placement in that engine bay.

Once Europe is dealt with, off to India for the Taj Mahal, followed by China for the Great Wall and a few other sights. Then, off to Japan for a good month or so, and the likely purchase of Living Space #3. I'd try to source a few mint mid-90's JDM-only cars, since Canada allows anything up to '98 these days.

After that, down to Australia for another few weeks, and a week or two in New Zealand, before taking the big trek to Hawaii. I probably wouldn't stay more than a week, and fly over to California for another solid month's worth of fun. Living Space #4 purchased, I'd also buy a convertible Mustang GT and make friends with the PCH, and Mulholland Drive. Oh, and a Boss 302 as well, because why the hell not? I'd then draw a wild S across North America, slowly working my way East, then North, with the goal of NYC before heading West again (after, needless to say, a lot of time there). Say hello to the home of Frasier Crane, visit Blackbird, and pop back into the homeland via British Columbia. Just because it'd be an epic drive, I'd avoid flying over the prairies, and make it back home to a hopefully-finished new house. I'd throw one hell of a party with my friends, and look into getting investors for building a quality track just outside... Townsend, my hometown. Lord knows nothing else goes on out there, and it's actually only a 90min drive from Toronto.

I'd erect a garage there to house what would quickly become a sizeable collection; I'd be on the hunt for any McLaren F1's that pop up for sale, with the explicit desire of actually driving the thing. The garage would double as a museum, and a driving experience/school would be included with the track construction. Once the track was finished, it would play host to not just sports car racing, but... the first GTPlanet World Meet. A special week-long event celebrating all things automotive and sim-racing. I'd cover the expenses for certain must-have appearances, and maybe we could even snag Kaz himself to host the opening night festivities? :D
 
^ your story will probably cost more than 400 million. Luckily in this thread we are talking so much money that if you woke up with 400 million you'd kill yourself from how poor you are. Super rich so more like 30 billion Pablo Escobar so much money you can't even think of anything else to buy because you have everything already.
 
Design a house myself to fit my needs (that's why I took graphics) and then have it be built for me on a large property in a nice location (where? I don't know... Just somewhere out of town, in the farmland or something where there won't be too many people). The property would be big because I would invest in creating a small race track there (again, I would design it), and also a good motorcross track and a forest sort of area with trails I could ride through, just for fun. Most likely a trial among trees surrounding the edge of the property, and then have all these other great things in the middle of it all.

Now, to fill up the house, I would have a full recording studio, a black Applause DLX AE-147 acoustic/electric guitar (I love those guitars so much. My brother bought one, and it sounds so good, and looks so good... I just love those guitars), a Gibson Les Paul (probably. I'll see what sort of guitars I end up enjoying the most... In fact, since in this case I have the money... Why not buy loads of guitars and just hoard them?), and some wicked basses... Since I do not currently know much about basses, I'll just leave it at, "some bass guitars." Some good keyboards and pianos (don't know much about them so again, I'll just leave it at that). And of course I want great mics, a room that is almost like a stage for trying live setups and stuff, or simply having a jam with friends.

The garage, oh the garage... :drool: Today I finally saw a Mercedes SLS for the first time... Now I think it is official that it is THE dream car for me. The first time anything has actually made me speechless, because it was that great, so a red Mercedes SLS AMG is a MUST!!! And then I would have a Viper RT/10,. GTS, GTS-R, GTS ACR, SRT-10, SRT-10 Coupe, SRT-10 ACR and the new SRT Viper GTS, an Audi A7 (or Jaguar XFR), Ford Sierra Cosworth and Escort Cosworth, and to fill the void... An Audi R8 GT as a mid engine super car.

And lastly... I could go on about all the ponies... But I don't think I'll make you non Bronies cringe by going on about how I'd get all this fan made stuff of Princess Luna and Lyra, and then get loads of other stuff of pretty much every other character... ... I would need a room dedicated to them all, and even then I would have the best of things scattered around the house, so in most rooms, there will be a pony of some description somewhere.

...

...

Too bad I'm so lacking in the brain/skills department that the only possibility of me getting this much money would rely entirely on someone else being massively uncontrollably rich and deciding to give me said money... (for reasons unknown)

Build a colony city on the moon surface, and it's orbit. Promote tech research for space travel and colonization, make the most of my money for the advancement of human race, when the Earth can't support it's inhabitants anymore, time to explore the vast outer space. I would be the master of my domain : Space.

Estimated budget : 100,000 trillion billion dollars for 50 years :crazy:

I think you might get bored of being able to buy everything. I think dreaming is a significant part of the appeal of nice things like Lamborghinis etc.

Ur boringg!!1!! :yuck:

:lol: jk

--------------------

I would:

- Acquire an island off the coast of Costa Rica
- Invest billions in genetic research and fossil excavation
- Build a giant nature reserve

:sly:
 
^^^^^ Jurassic Park, eh? :sly:

Count me in as well. Big facility, research grounds, the data labs and have the world's best scientists from biochemistry and paleontologists working with us (include Stephen Spielberg and the writer of the novels, forgot his name.) and create the dream and breakthrough in the history of experiments and theories that millions always wondered for years.... The return of the Dinosaurs. :eek:

Sounds like a good investment also. Expensive yes, dangerous and risky yes, but it could be a wild dream. 💡👍

All but the race track would take up less than half of my hypothetical $400 million, actually.

I know right :sly:? It will be a huge show that will put Hot Import Nights, SEMA and the other auto/car shows to shame. :D:tup:
 
First things first, I would perfect my idea for increasing the efficiency of nuclear fusion reactors. Then, once the royalty checks for the hundreds of reactors that will be built worldwide start rolling in, I would start by getting a modernized Citroen SM for my mom, a Fisiker Karma/Tesla Model S for my Dad and a 25' center console fishing boat and turbodiesel pickup to pull it for my stepdad. Then a house for my mom and stepdad, probably in the California foothills so he can fish each week as well as a trip for them to China, Japan and Thailand. Plus a trip to Hawaii for my sister and her boyfriend as well as my brother, and a college fund for my brother as well.

After that, buy the Isola Palmarola in the Mediterranian, and build a house on it along with a hanger for my 747-8I, SR-71 Blackbird and various other warbirds and experimental aircraft, and a marina for my boats, including a 500 or so foot 100+ knot nano-composite yacht. Then of course the requisite 12,000 foot runway for said 747 as well as high speed automotive testing alongside a permanent test track.

Then go to work on my dream garage, including a modernized 250 GTO replica, 12,000 bhp TVR Speed 12 and a range of other cars that resembles my garages from the entire GT series. Also, I would start my own tuning/manufacturing company to build low volume cars, along with buying Mazda, Lancia, Cunningham and TVR. Then I would set up a club for people to join, where I would ship various modified, exotic and race spec cars for average people to be able to drive or be driven in on various racetracks worldwide.

Once that is done, I would turn my attention to various pet projects of mine, notable a launch loop to decrease the cost of space launch, a global network of super high speed (1,000+ mph) trains, vertical farming and an institute for gifted youths.

Other than that, I would like to find a girl that is not materialistic then spoil her rotten and start a big family, and hopefully raise my kids to be smarter and more creative than I am.
 
If I had loads of money I would do the 2 things I've always wanted:
- Retire. Work only if I want to, whenever I want to.
- Have people doing every single thing for me, including buying decisions, fancy cooking everyday and even what hobbies should I pick up.

Never wanted to have acres and acres, owning companies that will last years based on goods other people cannot buy (hydroelectric stations are a good example) or keep working until I die if I don't need to. I understand the reasons behind all that but it's not for me: I have the "office space" dream years before it was released.

In addition to my aforementioned giant ball pit, I would also build a copy of Uncle Scrooge's Money Bin. And swim around in gold coins all day.

Plus you would injure yourself severely. Pretty obvious after thinking since it's solid gold coins.
