and you are going to buy 5 properties, where in the world would you buy?
one of them must be your primary residence
one of them must be a city dwelling (excluding your principal property)
one of them must be a rural property (excluding your principal property)

So your principal property can't be in the city, and it can't be in the country...

If i was a billionaire i wouldn't be that pushed by property. There are two things i'd love to do though.

1. Buy branded crunchy nut cornflakes. Not the Tesco or lidl knockoffs but the real deal. I'd probably get like two or three boxes - that'd be amazing.

2. I'd get my haircut somewhere where the barber spoke English so he understands what i actually want done. Those places cost mega bucks!

The Pheasant2 · 20-11-2013 08:18PM

I would just buy thousands of acres in the midlands, level every building and plant millions of trees and build a massive wall around with a nice cabin in the middle. Maybe airlift a few herds of deer and a pack of wolves into my new forest to make things interesting.

Years later the walls would crumble revealing a beautiful forest - my gift to Ireland from an eccentric billionaire

The Dom · 20-11-2013 08:20PM

I'd buy Dr.Quirkys and reopen the Carlton and one the top I'd have a penthouse Apartment where I'd have parties and look down on those in squalor of the Gresham.
I'd buy Arnotts, do some redecorating and re-open the Adelphi where I would also have a penthouse apartment.
I'd buy a ranch in Texas and stalk Alexis Texas.
I'd buy a Italian Villa next door (or as close to) Rocco's gaff as I could and try and shoehorn my way into his life so I could invites to his debauched parties (which I just know he has).
Small rural cottage in Rooskey, Leitrim to do some fishing in my downtime from all the madness that having the above four would undoubtedly create.

I'd keep 6 million and give the rest away. I would live very happily with 6 million, I'd live very happily just from the interest on 6 million so the bulk would go to good causes. Bigtime.
