…what bizarre and/ or horrible aspects of your personality will be revealed?
I don’t know what this says about me, but I always wanted to buy a run down trailer in the woods, one that looks abandoned and worthless, and build a huge underground mansion underneath. Sort of like Wayne Manor + the Bat Cave, only where Wayne Manor is in the Bat Cave, and the only part that isn’t hidden is a run down trailer. Maybe with a few cars on cinder blocks rusting away in the yard.
Tyranny. Spite. OCD. Plotting, scheming, manipulation, false-flagging…
I think my general impatience with morons and bullshit (my definitions, of course) would become magnified. I like to think I would stop short of insufferability, but who knows…though, really, with that much wealth and power I might not care.
Remember what Lady Galadriel said about possessing the ring?
Yea, don’t give me vast power unless you fancy Judge Dredd as merciful
I shall buy an aristocratic title of nobility and hire someone to formally & loudly announce my arrival before I enter any public space.
I don’t think there are any bizarre and/ or horrible aspects of my personality that haven’t already been revealed.
My complete lack of care for the rest of humanity. I’d build my little happy kingdom and keep the world out.
It would just magnify my already strong hermit tendencies. Lots of acres + money to pay for every service I’d need = see ya, suckers!
Retire…travel the world…take up blacksmithing or some other low-tech hobby and never look at another network again.
I suppose the only real dark side I’d have is possibly collect classic muscle cars, buy and drink some really excellent single malt scotch or good tequila, stockpile some very nice boxes of fine Cuban cigars, stuff like that if I had that kind of money. I’m fairly boring and don’t have a huge desire to do anything all that wild if I had unlimited funds.
My love of naps. Sometimes two a day!
Horrifying!!!
Vast wealth and power? Once I have that, I’ll be on everyone’s radar. Like any modern political candidate, people will pore over my past, digging up and publishing every unsavory detail - they’ll track down all the people I’ve wronged (never mind that I regret all of it), dig up all my stupid, poorly-thought-out opinions here on the Dope, and write articles about my disturbing fetishes.
Which would probably lead me down the same path as MoonMoon:
Generosity.
I have never attained great wealth and power but I did have a brief decade in my life where I enjoyed successes in several areas. At about the 5 year mark I started noticing myself believing my own bullshit. I also caught myself being less understanding and willing to accept excuses. I got it back in check pretty quick but I can see where we can easily loose ourselves.
1.) Get some plastic surgery and finally become a beautiful young androgynous biracial male.
2.) Choose family members who I want to keep ‘in’ and leave the rest to rot in hell like they should have (mostly those back in Africa)
3.) Have/adopt kids into a same sex parenting household.
4.) Enjoy life because…C’est la nouvelle vie!
I have an almost pathological hatred of small yappy dogs. That might get out of control, for a start.
And I love small, yappy dogs. With my vast wealth, I would create a small yappy dog ranch with herds of small yappy dogs, each with his or her own personal groomer/feeder/snack giver/scratcher to follow them around. Hopefully, our vast tracts of land won’t overlap so you don’t have to do anything drastic, forcing me to spend a portion of my vast wealth on killer robots or satellite death rays. ![]()
Have an umbrella holder a la Michael Jackson.
Okay, in all seriousness, I’ve always thought it was super outlandish, and I’d probably do it only as a tongue-in-cheek thing in public outings for show yet act like this is normal for me.

Buy a bottle of pre-WW2 MacAllen. Drink it with Ginger ale or Cott’s Cola. And Ice. In a red Solo cup.
Drive a lowered H1 ex-military Humvee.
Or a jacked up Huayera on 33" mud Terrain tires.
Buy up as much land around Flint Michigan as possible and restore it back to parkland.
Hire as many hackers as possible to completely bankrupt the Koch and Trump dynasties.
Many, many bad things…
