If you were a (cash) billionaire...?

What would you spend the money on? Other than the obvious billionaire toys (superyacht, Veyron, Learjet, private island, etc)

For me, I'd commission a full on replica Spanish Galleon, kept as authentic as reasonably possible (but obviously with proper mod-cons, I wouldn't want to pick up scurvy while travelling the high seas )

In a similar vein I'd also build a proper medieval castle.

I'd also have a massive hangar full of various cars which have taken my fancy over the years. So a few supercars, but plenty of 'ordinary' stuff in there, possibly even the chavved up Mk1 Focus I wanted (but thankfully never went for) when I was younger Obviously the hangar would be next to my own private track so I could enjoy them all.

There someone in France doing that, it's not a quick build though!

Wow, that looks pretty awesome.

However, I'd be an impatient billionaire. I'd still use traditional materials, but they'd have modern equipment to speed up construction.

Just thought of something else. I'd pay a small fortune to someone who could write a computer virus designed to permanently delete any electronic copy of "Come On Eileen" on any device connected to the internet.

To eradicate any hard copies, the virus would also be designed to hack any device with a microphone, as soon as it detected the first few chords it would report back the location and my crack team of ninja assassins would be despatched to permanently destroy it.

I would pay you £10 to add 'Birdhouse in Your Soul' or whatever ste it's called by the <can't even bring myself to remember their name>.
Thank you.

Consider it done, and you can keep the £10. I'm a billionaire
