I’ll take a fully customized eleMMent Pallazzo. And included in the customization would be a Tesla Model X, the one with “Insane gear” because with a boat that size, you’ve gotta have a dinghy. ![]()
You’re no fun. :rolleyes:
You guys want wonderful stuff. There are a load of great things in this thread that I’d never seen before. CheshireKat’s statue is amazing.
The billionaire sorts all that out for the rest of your life. The point of this object is to make you crazy happy; anything that’s needed to make it functional comes with the package.
Practical objects are good. The billionaire will make sure you can get as much use out of it as you want.
I could not resist this.
I was gonna say a Bowlus Road Chief, but if you’re gonna be that way about it, then the little house on the corner just went up for sale.
Well since operating expenses are covered, I’ll take a Beneteau Oceanis 60:

No crew needed, I’ll sail her myself. Already have the name picked out to - “Dis Tew Much” ![]()
I’ve recently taken up knitting, and it is the most satisfying hobby in the world.
I’ve been looking endlessly for a black restroom sign with an arrow pointing right, that is mounted onto the wall with an adhesive for under $25. I can find them all day long for super cheap without the arrow, but adding that little fucking arrow, apparently, triples the cost. So probably that.
There are several very large and extensive muscle car collections (complete with warehouse) that I’d really love to have, but the problem would be that I’d have to pay the money for maintenance, security and insurance which would be staggering unless said billionaire would also give me a trust to maintain all of it or allow me to sell of some of the pieces to maintain the whole.
If not, then I guess I’d like some land (in the mountains with lake side access) and a nice but not ridiculously expensive house with full utilities (something I can afford to maintain on my own humble salary). The rub with what a lot of folks are asking for is that to maintain really expensive stuff (that you can’t sell) takes quite a lot of money, so the ‘gift’ would definitely be two edged unless the billionaire also gave the person a trust to take care of the expenses as well.
Lamborghini Reventón. I would drive that thing extra slow, everywhere.
I’d like to change my answer. But it would have to be moved to someplace less cold, because MN winters scare me.
And can we include in the request a ritual flogging for whatever twit put that drop ceiling in the basement? ![]()
Largish, comfortable home on the Puget Sound with a boat dock, and a bit of land surrounding it. Not a lot; just enough to muffle the neighbors.
If I go for a much less expensive aircraft, can I get the tricked out chase/storage vehicle to go with it since they make up a system?
This’ll work, especially if you can relocate it somewhere less prone to drought and earthquake.
If for some reason the White House isn’t available, I wouldn’t mind having a Dodge motorcycle.
A FEI-level dressage horse, in perfect health, and all the necessities (trainer, grooms, money, stable, trucks and trailers, etc., etc., etc.) to train and travel and compete successfully at the International level. Oh yeah! 
So many ridiculous and wonderful things, but I think I’d choose Carcano Model 91/38, serial number C2766.
I mean, I already own part of the Trinity bomb, so what else is left? 
Damn right I’m not. I’m the guy that gives out socks and dental floss to kids on halloween. They call me mister buzzkill, at least if the graffiti is to be believed. The reason I didn’t think to ask for a car or house is the upkeep (repairs, taxes, insurance) I know I couldn’t afford.
If paying for upkeep isn’t an issue then a nice condo in San Francisco is probably what I’d ask for.
Actually, scratch that. A nice yacht I can live on and travel the world in would be my #1 desire.
Like this?
Practical: Custom cabinetry covering the end of my subterranean lair which is currently a mishmash of shelves and storage containers.
Beautiful: The Art Institute of Chicago houses the beautiful and whimsical Arthur Rubloff Collection of Paperweights
so I would like my choice of them. Maybe the big guy:

Oh, you’d better believe I’ve been on that site. Like that one, but their aluminum sign needs to be screwed into the wall. Their adhesive option is just a label. I want a real sign. Hmm, maybe I’ll buy the aluminum one and buy my own adhesive separately. [beard stroking emoticon]
