For UK residents only
Discussion
I'd move somewhere sunnier and more relaxed. The only thing keeping me here is family but with £150m they wouldn't be staying here or working either and I'd have the means/time to see them whenever I wanted.
I have no particular love or hate for the UK but there are more beautiful places with a far nicer climate that I'd rather live in given the choice and financial freedom.
I'd probably keep a flat here somewhere but I would live most of the year elsewhere.

it's an interesting concept though. If you had that much money, there would be no need to emigrate as such. Rich people only nominally 'live' in a place, in reality they'd have several houses spread across all the places they like in the world, and more than enough means to travel in between as often as they wanted. I don't think there would be a need to 'leave' the UK, you just can spend some time elsewhere. There would always be things you'd miss, unless you really do hate the place in which case emigrate now.
This.Great user name BTW

Why the need to emigrate anywhere? With that amount of money you could travel anywhere in the world and stay in the top hotels.
My thought exactly. Why have several homes too? Sounds like a right pain in the arse to sort all that out, one I wouldn't want even for the investment opportunities. I'd be quite happy to spend the odd month in a whole range of different places. If you "live" in several places, it's not like you're likely to build up a collection of friends without a job or other connection there and as soon as you get to know people you'd be off again.Maybe in time I might want to get a holiday home somewhere that appealed more and more to me, but I have little interest in not really living anywhere in particular but tied to the same few places.
I'd definately leave but I'd keep my flat here for visiting family. Why would I leave? Overpopulation, too many scumbags, big brother sticking his nose in and I dislike the media and politics here. I'd move to either Finland or the US (Kentucky or Tennessee). Basically somewhere out in the sticks where I can hunt, ride dirt bikes/snow mobiles, drink hard booze, have my own land and generally not get hassled by the man.

Adelaide. Great weather for 8-9 months of the year, loads of unspoilt beaches, more wineries than you could ever visit...
Eh?!? A hicky small town with the only thing going for it is the V8 supercars and a pair of cheap strip-clubs. Sydney or Melbourne I would have agreed with you.
