Someday when I'm filthy rich...

[TWD]

Aside from being a a great philanthropist, and donating money to charities, the poor, etc what will you do when you get filthy rich?

I want a summer home in Ibiza Spain complete with a pool, and a bullet bike.

[Rambowjo]

I'd eat it all!

[DeaJae]

-Buy back the family estate and home
-buy the company behind the lottery, make it fairer and pay its way towards the country (lower the peoples taxes etc)
-generally make the UK worth living for others.

I think once you meet the gay parade that is Ibiza you won't like it like you think you'll do...

a nice home in the heart of italy's tuscany... that's awesome!

And I thought Uwe Boll was bad...

[Peccavi]

And I thought Uwe Boll was bad...

:lol:

I'd do the same, but more of a start from the ground up. If I can't make it the natural way, then fine... At least I still have my millions and millions of dollars, my solid gold house, and my rocket car.

[Angel_Mapper]

Buy a tract of land on the coast here in Oregon, build a couple of houses and bring a few of my closest friends to live out there money-worry-free. It'll be like a cult, except we'll be making video games instead of Kool-Aid.

[edit] And you don't need to be filthy rich to do some of these things, unless you allow your materialistic needs to outweigh your desire for financial freedom. Just take your typical monthly expenses, multiply by 12 to get your yearly expenses, then multiply that by 25 to get how much you need to have invested in index funds so that you can be free for the rest of your life.

I'd buy governments.

[GeckoYamori]

Make a theme park based on some deathmatch map.

[Flak]

I would buy all of the people I play with the most awesome computers, huge monitors and play areas. Hell I'll just get them each an entertainment room. I'd buy a cool building for a lan center and have lan parties all the time. I'd fly my dad out here to so cal so he can live by me. (not too close lol) I'd get a house for my sis and my neice.

For me I'd get a convertible. I'd do fun stuff all day like sculpting and making maps and skins then play all night.

OMG it would so rule ^^

[Airmoran]

I'd bankrupt the Mormons.

Why would I? 'Cause I'm rich that's why.

Happy birthday TWD

I want a nice quiet home in southern France with a classic motorbike. I would ask someone to marry me and live with me in my rural home.

I'm an old romantic really.

Roadtrip the world. I'd love to see it all, before it's all gone.

[MonsOlympus]

Id take a trip to mars and claim it for myself, then be the first person to scale Olympus Mons. The Id probably setup a vacation spot so others can visit and Id charge a mint for it :-)

[DeeperShade]

Option a.)
Keep the money, live off of the interest and surround myself with sluts that have no sense of self respect. Train them to be my pets.

Option b.)
Invent all of these ideas I have running around my head, whilst surrounding myself with sluts that have no sense of self respect.

Option c.)
Buy the US Justice System. I mean, why not, it's what everyone else with wealth does.

[anaemic]

i would move to switzerland, and live ontop of a mountain in a giant geodesic glass dome full of tropical plants, with my own giant swimming pool and air conditioned underground mansion, complete with private cinema.

**** philanthropy

[toniglandyl]

travel to space
flying in a mirage 2000

[Maj1013]

Pay off all my debt, give a large sum of money to my mom so she can travel the world without worrying about paying her bills, give other large sums of money to my true friends.

Buy a house in Jamaica, another in Maine, and probably one in England. Throw more money at talented, creative people (game designers, writers) so that they have the freedom to try things without worrying about losing their jobs.

[Adelheid]

Invest in genetic research companies and nano-bot research companies, thus coming one step closer to my ultimate goal.

[Jacks:SmirkingRevenge]

Someday, when I'm filthy rich (that's when, not if) aside from charity work I'd have to do a few specific things. I've thought about this before, naturally.

Apart from maybe a few more condos here and there, I'd have 3 homes to travel between.
One in Monaco, my city residence so I can see the worlds greatest F1 race every year from my yacht and because you need a base in Europe. The people there and the nightlife is just another plus.
One in Colorado, my private residence so I can have a quiet place to go and experience a great winter season skiing and snowboarding.
One in Australia just outside of Sydney, my beach front residence where I can go to wake up in front of the waves and catch some surf, a place where it's always nice weather or just never snows.

This is a nice spread across the worlds continents. Throw in a few vehicles at each place and some private jetting in between and you got yourself a lifestyle. As a filthy rich person I'd try and do things with my money that gave back to people. Invest in Green products/corporations, medical research, and throw in some consumer technology to make things fun.

For a hobby I'd probably try and buy a professional football (NFL Americano, for you kids across the pond) or baseball team. I would see about becoming owner or part owner of a racing team, F1 if I could otherwise American Indy cars would do nicely. Not NASCAR, my neck isn't red enough.

[ShakeZula]

i want a big yacht with a crew of 12 spanish men who will feed me tomatoes, play soccer with me on the deck and shout obscene things to girls in every port

[Selerox]

Sensible stuff, like paying off debts, paying off family's mortgages etc.

Buy nice country retreat, somewhere in the UK.
Buy expensive apartment in London.
Buy a few other expensive places around Europe.
Make them as tasteful as humanly possible, as long it's in keeping with my personal preferences.

Pump lots of money into clean power research that's actually practical.

Pump lots of money into anti-religion propaganda and lobbying.

Create a music festival. 0% major label music.

Using my influence, do whatever I can to remove chavs from the UK (sticking them in freight containers and dropping them into the North Sea appeals).

Buy Epic Games. Sack Mark Rein (yes, I'm still bitter about the "2 weeks thing") and possibly Jeff Morris. Threaten Cliff Bleszinski with the sack if he acts like a poser-boy muppet in public or gets a stupid haircut again (give it maybe a week). Put Tim Sweeney on Queer Eye For A Straight Guy (because quite frankly he needs it).

Set aside one week a year to spend a lot of money on things that will enrage the right-wing press.

[Jacks:SmirkingRevenge]

...why?

[Selerox]

...why?

Because organised religion (primarily Abrahamic religion) is the number one cause of hate and genocide on this planet. We, as a species, are far better off without it.

It's the single biggest barrier to human unity.

[Jacks:SmirkingRevenge]

You can't throw out baby with bathwater.

I'm not religious, but I can clearly see that religion, on a personal level does a lot of good for a lot of people. It has been the cause of a lot of sh*t but you can't just excuse all the good it does for people as well. It provides a guiding light to those masses who aren't necessarily perceptive or insightful enough (or just stupid) to develop their own sense of purpose or moral grounds or direction in life. It gives people who would otherwise feel like they had no sense of social connection a community to belong to, church gives them that release they need at the end of the week from their stresses.

A lot of people use their faith to call on in times of adversity. If that's their rock then that's great, if they need that belief to get by because the thought of having nothing to look forward to gets them down then that's just fine. You hear about these crack heads or general low life's "finding Jesus" and cleaning up their act all the time. If that's the only thing that worked for them then why bash it?

Religion can be gross, but there's extremes when it comes to any organized group of people, no matter their cause. You can't try and completely throw it out, on a personal scale it helps a lot of people get by and/or keeps them on the right track.

I'm not talking about faith. Faith is fine, I'm talking about religion as a dogmatic system.

The logical conclusion of it is something like the Catholic Church. It's hard to imagine a more repellent organisation.

It's an organisation that preaches hate, fosters intolerance, denies logic and has no problem with ignoring it's own scriptures for political profit or material gain. It has no problem with crushing dissent and covering up it's own corruptions. It has no problem with killing unbelievers on a epic scale, and who considers all other faiths as lies, and all those of other faiths damned.

The same could be said for many Christian churches, but the Catholic Church wins the prize by being the most enthusiastically ruthless for the longest period of time.

Just Christianity? No.

The entire Middle East is swept with War due to fanatics of every faith. Islamic fundamentalist slaughter thousands, while Christian fundamentalists from the West do likewise. Religion is the key here. Would you see the same level of bloodshed if all the people of the Middle East were God-fearing protestant Christians? I don't think so.

Don't think I'm leaving Judaism out of this. The continual, arrogant boasting about being "God's chosen people" doesn't do them any favours. God has no chosen people. Same goes for Zionism.

Religion may have done great good over the years. I hold many religious people and groups in high esteem personally.

But on balance, the good is crushingly outweighed by the evil.

[Zarkazm]

I'd make Fallout 3, with complete and utter disregard to anything after Fallout 2, except Van Buren. Those design docs are very inspiring. Read them sometime.

[Aalexanderrr]

I will hire Kantham and his P90 Noobs for eleminating anyone who says that EPIC FAIL :mad:

[shadow_dragon]

I'd have a fortified tower and fort built upon a hilltop and a rather large crossbow... because you never know when a zombie apocalypse might occur.

At the top of the tower will be an extensive library and study that, for all the world will look like some place gandalf would hang out in with spinny globes that are slightly brown with age and books that have covers peeling off and such, oine of those classic ooms where once your inside you can't find the way out again because the door looks just like all the other book cases... The PS3, PC and other such things will be stowed away but functional... there will be a hammock.
The rest of the fort will likely be setup to be fairly self sufficient and will have rooms and supplies to house many people, including guests, family members, friends and ofcourse refugee/survivors from the zombie apocalypse... Or if i go ad with megalomania maybe i'll fill the rooms with guards and scientists to help me with my diabolical plans, who's to say? Best to have the contingency I say, secret escape tunnels/pods/hatches/labs etc go without saying.

I might travel a bit but i'll likely lock myself away in my study most of the time, working on projects, art and world domination... untill i get bored and play some GTA4 or something.

[Adelheid]

I like the castle idea... I wonder what a castle would look like if it was modernised?

salt into old wounds, you know your tango well.

[Capt.Toilet]

Oh just the usual stuff. Pay all debts(vehicle, student loan, credit card). Buy a house, and not a fancy one like most people would do. Just enough for me and the women that get attracted to me because we all know most women are attracted to the moolah :)

Other than that, I will give a percentage to the mom and pops and put the rest in the bank.

[dragonfliet]

Because organised religion (primarily Abrahamic religion) is the number one cause of hate and genocide on this planet. We, as a species, are far better off without it.

What a piece of crap. Religion is an excuse for hate, not the instigator of it. Nearly every single war in which religion has been cited as the "reason" was really just a land/power grab. Hatred and murder is as natural to people as eating, and it will never go away.

There is a correlation between war and religion, but it's a tenuous one at best and you would have to be an ignorant monkey to really think that one causes the other. Religion is as much to blame for war as videogames are to blame for violent crime.

Now, what would I do with the money? After investing in the public schooling system (what a load it is), I would install a small quadHD home theater system in my house and array myself and my friends with brilliantly overpriced gaming set-ups and buy one of the Tesla Roadsters when they debut.

Because organised religion (primarily Abrahamic religion) is the number one cause of hate and genocide on this planet. We, as a species, are far better off without it.

That is incorrect.

"Religion was the cause of 123 wars in the encyclopaedia (Philips Charles and Alan Axelrod - "Encyclopaedia of Wars"), which represents only 6.98 percent of all the wars recorded in the encyclopaedia." - Vox Day "The Irrational Atheist" pg 105

Some of the largest genocides ether committed were certainly not done because of religion (Nazi Germany, Stalin).

As for money:
I'd give away lots to charity, but as well I'd get:
A fully functional recording studio with all the bells and whistles, including:
Several top end guitars (PRS Custom 24, Music Man JP Signature 6 and 7 strings, Ibanez Jem, Chapman Stick etc)
A few Bass guitars (Music Man Bongo 4, 5 and 6 string)
Several top end amps
A whole bunch of effects units and the like (TC Electronic, Eventide etc)
A few drum kits (acoustic ala Mike Portnoy and electric, as well as combinations of the both)
Several top end keyboards, and a grand piano

Buy my own Orchestra and Choir.

Spend the rest of my life composing music, and making cds, hopefully starting off a few new bands as well.

[shadow_dragon]

I like the castle idea... I wonder what a castle would look like if it was modernised?

Indeed! I've been planning it for years now. It's always bugged me how the old architectural styles have simply been sat aside so we can make buildings in the shapes of gherkins and plastic crates. :(

[DMMD]

I can't wait for TWD to be rich, because after we give to all of the charities, I will be at home living luxuriously in Ibiza Spain.

Let TWD have his dreams to make all of this wonderful money....
he will end up spending AT LEAST a good 40% on me!;)


I would pay to take lessons from some of the finest musicians to become the piano soloist I have always wanted to be.

[GotBeer?]

See, now you're really making it look like you actually are TWD, because no woman will ever, ever ask for only 40%.

[DMMD]

See, now you're really making it look like you actually are TWD, because no woman will ever, ever ask for only 40%.
:lol:
I just mean for me only to spend.
You have to understand that in the sense of what he and I like to do for fun, we ARE the same person. We enjoy the SAME THINGS, so any toys or big things that he would buy are things that I would want to....
I only need 40% for myself because the other 60% is being spent on things we BOTH want. hahahahaha

I will prove that he and I are not the same person when I post some of our wedding pics online. :)

[dotnetbeast]

I'm not talking about faith. Faith is fine, I'm talking about religion as a--

STOP.

[shadow_dragon]

STOP.

Hammertime!

[Igoy]

You wouldn't marry me? :(

I'd buy a 4-bedroom Edwardian townhouse for me to live in, a home of choice for my parents, and a flat for my brother.

I'd then buy a couple of houses to rent out to people and live off the income of those.

With anything else I had left over, I'd either buy me a man, or get Jake Gyllenhaal to give me a lapdance.

[GotBeer?]

:confused: I thought that girls didn't need to ask, they could just take whatever they wanted...

You're learning :)Already well-trained, I'd say.

[Balton]

Already well-trained, I'd say.

When's the funeral, I'd ask.

[DMMD]

Already well-trained, I'd say.

He comes well-trained, but I am not unreasonable either by asking for only 40%, so he is more willing to give me what I want :)

But I have to agree, TWD is whipped! teeheehee :lol:

[Balton]

is divorce an option for mormons?

[Kantham]

I will hire Kantham and his P90 Noobs...

[DMMD]

Whats the matter, Balton? Don't you like my wifely manners towards TWD?
