If you was filthy ‘ Bezos’ rich... your lifestyle.
Discussion
So you’re filthy rich, got the private island, the mansion & all the toys etc.
What lifestyle will you be leading & what’s in that garage of yours.
NB: Obviously... I would have my own private circuit.
Than I could have invited drivers & guests from for some ‘off season’ fun... maybe a small championship to boot.
Deffo a F1, F40 & XJ220 In the garage... & they would get used for what they were built for too.
( The 250 GTO would be in the hallway)
Perhaps have a racing academy & invest in others around the world.
I personally would have some classic saloons, GT’s & sportcars to
compete in.

There is not really a great answer to this as we all like cars so could have infinate options. For me I would have a museum that would be like a real life gran turismo given you could not drive 200 cars at least others could see them.
On a different note Bezos does not like cars has a very old dodge I recall. Zuckerberg has a Konniggsegge, Gates an XJ220, Musk an F1 so some of them like cars.

I'd follow the seasons, hate it when it starts getting dark early so I'd be off. Summer in the Uk from May until August, then on to the south of France until October, possibly over to Aus or Southern California with a two week snowy log cabin break until Feb then back on to the south of France until I come back to the UK in May.
I'd also do world tours, think top gear where everything is arranged for you and you just go but in luxury.
Mixed in with various holidays on boats and toys, lots and lots of toys.. Except Helicopters, I'd never buy or be a passenger in one.

Wow... That sounds really cool & Mr Leno would probably be your best friend then. On a different note Bezos does not like cars has a very old dodge I recall. Zuckerberg has a Konniggsegge, Gates an XJ220, Musk an F1 so some of them like cars.
( Hope Mr Musk doesn’t turn his F1 into an EV...ultimate sacrilege)

What we tend to forget about these very rich people is that they spend most of their lives working flat out. All day every day.
No time for fleets of classic cars and the yacht is maybe only used by the family with occasional visits from the owner.
They may sit on their island but will likely have a phone glued to their ear or a pc perched on their lap.
I bet Zuckerbergs Konnisegg and Musk's McLaren don't get used for months on end.

TBH I can't comprehend having that much & am not sure WHAT my lifestyle would be.
Possibly low profile / publicity shy / benevolent benefactor. Certainly wouldn't be doing space tourism or anything like that.
Having no money frightens me. Having that amount of money would frighten me more.
Appreciate I'm probably swimming against the tide on P/H with this one

If I recall Mr Musk managed to turn his uninsured F1 into Coke cans. ( Hope Mr Musk doesn’t turn his F1 into an EV...ultimate sacrilege)

I would buy huge swathes of land and start rewilding them and open it all up to the public. I'd live in modest cabin in the woods, might treat myself to a new Land Rover or something similar and maybe a few toys. Would live as self sufficiently as possible and spend as much time with my wife and daughter as possible.

I don’t think this answer can be beaten. Sounds idyllic. littleowl said:

It was Musks daily for 2 years - and 11,000 miles 
I've worked for a few high net worth individuals and the Ferrari stashed in the garage rarely gets used.

I agree, I would live modestly. The money would go towards good things. Like rewilding and social projects. I reckon with a cabin in the woods I could live my absolute dream with less than 100k a yearPossibly low profile / publicity shy / benevolent benefactor.

March / April - September : Devon for a few weeks, then on to the New Forest.
October / November: Devon, Wiltshire to round off the year.
( He’s seriously thinking about selling up & living his dream life)
Probably against the normal of the usual PH trinkets, but would to set up a robotics company that makes products for disabled people/elderly people.
Think companion robotic dogs, butlers, nurses etc. Not to replace humans but just add a bit extra to their lives.
I think with that sort of money really could make a business that helps people and still turns a profit.
Would live modestly really, would travel the world with a purpose to solving problems, simple life, the fruit of my labour being helping others.
