If I had all the money in the worlllld...

WindSock

What would you buy? I'm just browsing through the necklace section in the Boodles website. Drool. Now off I go to buy a lotto ticket :pac:

Trinity

A huge plot of land to home all the unwanted, neglected animals and a huge mansion to adopt all the poor, abused neglected kids in the world.

And houses for homeless people.

And maybe a Sportscar for myself :cool:

WindSock

Yawn, boooring . What kind of car?

Well after I buy this modest little pad

And this modest little car (in black)

The services of this little angel to keep the ankle-biters at bay

This chappie to make sure I never get dehydrated

These in every colour because I feel like it (No more suits for work)

Him in case I get hungry and him to give the other fella a hand

And this little topper in case for some inexplicable reason my velours dont fit any more



All I can think of for now. Im a woman of few wants or needs me..

WindSock

Nice. Audi TT, I like.

Abi

Its a spritely little thing. Just what you need to whip round the traffic while doing the weekly shop

Trinity

This would be my shopping car

after having the pleasure of driving one i agree wholeheartly.

although it would have to be a new styled one, the old one was a hairdressers car.

Jimbo

All the money in the world and you buy an Audi??!! :eek:

I'd hire a team of loyal, effective, proactive but simpering minions.
Purely for the purpose of building a global empire by making every bright idea I have happen.

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

/makes rainbow with hands

You could own them

Gauge

Lets see, I'd get one of these to replace my old bashed up tablet:


And I'd get one of these to use it with (pimped out with RAM, etc):


And a nice apartment overlooking this:

bluedolphin

A penthouse apartment in NYC and a small cottage in rural southern Italy/France. I'd alternate residences. *sigh*

If i had all the money in the world i would buy whatever mega corporation that makes 'greys anatomy'. Then, i would make the writers bring Denny back from the dead.

Lil' Smiler

maybe you could just buy Denny??

I would build a full time, fully set out gymnastics hall, seeing as there's only 1 in the whole country as opposed to hundreds in america. it's a huge in the bum wasting hours of training time to have to set up and take down equipment

Would go on a nice holiday..right now i'd go to Florida for some fun because I had hoped to this summer but it's not happening now And stop off at the Dominican Republic too.

Would get myself a nice car...my little one doesn't have back doors, is difficult for transporting my massage table.

Set up my own Sports Injuries Clinic and also set up a treatment room witha lovely hydrolic bed in my dream home

.... i'm such a dreamer!!:o

watna

I would buy all new furniture for my flat.

We could only afford to get things from second hand places. My couch has a hole in the back and we have a dodgy tv that can only get two channels. For some reason new things seem to be for very rich people here!

Crumble Froo

tell me about it. ^ though at least second hand stuff is cheap and easily available. pawnshops and the likes everywhere. particularly when earning 6.27050 EUR an hour before tax, and not even getting 40hrs most weeks... new stuff is rather elusive for us

would definitely be living somewhere like this, would actually have the third fin installed on my surfboard, would not be using an mp3 player that dates back to 2002 (and i just bought that, btw), would have a ps3, would definitely be able to treat all the freinds who have been so good to me over hte years.

god. i sound bitter. heh...

ok, if i had all the money in teh world... personal jetplane. booking bands for personal gigs. just general security, and our own property, instead of this ****ing rent trap.

Can I be the first nitpicker to enter this thread and say that if you had all the money in the world then it's most likely that consumer products wouldn't exist as companies wouldn't have any money to buy the parts necessary to make the products. Unless of course you could suddenly have all the money in the world and then give back a load of it to everyone so as to stop them starving and being homeless for not paying their rent.

I think a cap needs to be put on this, otherwise we're talking mass hysteria and worldwide death and destruction like the human race has never seen before. Do you really want to murder people?

Reku

More to the point if one person had all the money in the world they'd never live long enough to spend it as greed >> morality as a driving factor for an extremely large portion of the human population.

rugbug86

I'd like a new car, mine leaks. Maybe a nice 1.9 TDI Golf. I won't be greedy. I'd also like a noisey sportscar that makes people look. It would be convertable too.

I'd also buy a house in the south of Spain - somewhere between Seville and Cadiz with a car/van and surfing equipment for regular trips to Tarifa. I'd buy a nice city centre appartment - perhaps down in the IFSC, just for Sunday morning living. I'd buy a house in Howth or on the seafront in Sutton, with the view across the bay. While I'm at it, a Lakeshore Drive appartment in Chicago would be nice, somewhere near Navy Pier. I'd buy a yacht and berth it somewhere in the Caribean.

I'd travel lots, South Africa, Australia and all 50 states of America.

I suppose I'd better buy an Airplane too.

Make me sound a bit greedy?!

xzanti

All the money in the world, God the list is endless.. One thing I would definately love is a Ford Mustang *wipes drool from chin*

mollybird

id pay someone to finish my deg for me, id buy my man a ferrai, pay my parents off for all the money they gave me for college and after that who knows

LouOB

Id buy myself a majority share in a company
Which would pretty much gaurantee myself a job - as a board member $$$$ a year

Pay off mortgage and 'flaunt' lifestyle to not nice neighbours before I buy house in area I really like in Dublin. Continue with studies, as no amount of money in the world can buy you your exams.
Contribute to charity
Become a ladeeee that lunches - as my income and assets scure, backed up with education and experience - best part is aging gracefully with less grey hair if I did 8-6 Mon to Fri for 40+ years

noooooooooooooooo

it has to be one of the original ones preferably one of the GT 500's from gone in sixty seconds

WindSock

Oh dear, I feel another yawn coming on...:pac:

If I had loadsa money I would buy all the self-righteous pain in the holes just to laugh at them as they scramble around the place not doing any of the crap they preached about to people who have more cash than them. I created this thread out of a little brain fantasy. Go to humanities if you want to whinge about our greed.

metaoblivia

Oh man. This list could be long. But first - pay off my student loans and medical bills. Then pay off my car, trade it in and get a hybrid. I would buy land and a house, probably in Australia. And then I'd move there and use my money to travel and update my electronics and such. And clothes. Boy would I crazy with the clothes shopping. But not jewelry. Never really been interested in that. Not very exciting I know.

John Mason

put an extension on my house and finally finish my kitchen, oh and move the stairs and maybe move the sitting room door

and get the trees cut down in the garden and buy all the flowers i wants in the garden centre

Blush_01

I wouldn't want all the money in the world. But if I did have an obscene amount of cash that was limitless, or as close to as possible, I'd:

Clear all my family's debts - extended family who I actually know included.
Learn how to drive (finally) and get myself a nice, comfy, economical car. I don't care that much about cars, if it goes forward, I'm happy. If it goes backwards too, even better.
Hire a personal trainer who wouldn't take my sh!t and get into shape.
Go back to college and do something I've wanted to do for a long time, followed by something else I've wanted to do for a long time - and why not?
Buy the health system and privately fund it, so it's free and properly regulated - none of the ridiculous nonsense that currently happens.
Buy myself a nice house that actually isn't stuck on top of, under or beside anyone else's. I forgot how much I hated apartment living until today. (Plus, no housemate then.)
Take each of my friends to the one place they've always wanted to go - wherever it is.

I'd think about other stuff later.

Fine then...
I'd have Windsock's fantasy townhouse boarded up overnight, while she slept in it, then airlifted and dumped in the antarctic ocean, along with a few hundred gallons of blood, see how many sharks come.:cool::p

It's great what money can do...:D

Make sure it's big enough that you can grow vegetables though, they don't tend to much like sea spray.

Of course, the house is fabulous, whether it's in town or not. Plus it would be easy for drunken walks home.

Here windy, why don't we go halfsies? I'm sure we could rustle up 5 mill each for our vast bank accounts!

A modest home for me and the boyfriend

lmao - random comment! but sure. I'd buy some of that.


Re townhouse - I dont drink in town much. So I wouldnt be missing much. Just doesnt appeal. I agree, the character inside those houses are astounding, but its wasted on all of the ugliness of town. Just my opinion of course.

Ah my comment about money whinging wasn't at anyone in particular, just in general. I don't want this thread to descend in to waffle about reality.

Anyway...I'd love to go to Antarctica. Plus my pals the old humbacks would be there to save me because I have learned from Dory how to speak Whale.

Of course I wouldn't just live in town all the time. I would have nice country houses too. but sure Watna. We could go halvsies. I would probably just be hanging out in the library anyway, pretending to read.

Sending you my 5 million by international transfer as we speak!

I'd pay a band to let me go on tour with them! And buy a house of course. And buy lots of dresses from the FairyGothmother site.

Both of these to start with anyway..

GirlInterrupted

After making sure I and all my family, friends, and future children were comfortably provided for, and the occasional services of Johnny Depp, Daniel Craig and Brad Pitt were secured, I would devote the rest of my life to finding everyone who ever pissed me off , bullied me, belittled me or just generally looked at me sideways, and letting them know that I could buy, sell and portion them off if I so choose.

I haven't thought about it much.
