Current Events > Can you imagine being a billionaire

(+) Yeah! (+)

Randomly deciding "I'm gonna go on a flight" and having a plane and crew ready to take you wherever in the hour.

Being hit up by politicians and other rich people for private dinners constantly so they can convince you that you should invest money into them. Which leads to you being a massive influence politically without really trying.

Having so much money and being around so much money that you are plain old at the point of buying things for the sake of it. Want a bunch of mansions? Sure. Barely need to stay in most of them. Want a building with your name on it? Go ahead. Want to buy a historic notebook or painting just because you can? Okay. Take a private tour at the Louvre while you're at it.

Just crazy how detached this life is from everyone else.

I'm in

I have zero desire to be that wealthy. Id be fine with owning a modest house and being debt free.

If i was a billionaire i would help people in need like for example if i saw a person being evicted I would buy them a house

$1 billion isnt really that much money Its only 1000 million People have blown hundred million dollar fortunes in a matter of a few years, so unless youre good at making money, it wont last very long if youre buying yachts and jets and shit.

There's also the element of not really being able to trust anybody. Everyone and anyone is potentially using you for your money. Chances are you're so damned detached from others you probably deserve it too.

Thing is the worlds are so far apart I don't think billionaires would see that unless it's part of their business.

You'd have to try extremely hard to stop being a billionaire. That's rich to the point where it sustains itself.

Yes, I would fund my own anime series. Quick search says it costs around $2 million for a 13-episode anime. I'd probably make like ten of them.

i'd probably stay like this, eat/sleep/shitposting on gfaqs

if i dreamed of something bigger, i'd make homeless kids be my servants, teaching them self defense and shit, make an army and relocate in the middle of the sea and be destroyed in a random nuclear inspection by the UN

I wouldn't have any of these things going on. 2 mansions at best, seeing as much as I prefer my home island, England has some benefits.
I just wanna not work and have good komfort & entertainment at my disposal without leaving my house.

I'd imagine it would speed my life way up. Before I know it, I'd be 70 and I'd fear death more than ever.

---

I actually can't imagine it. I could never be a billionaire. I'm not evil or selfish enough, and I'm one of the least materialistic people I know.

i could wipe my ass with dollar bills...

If you're a billionaire with an income, yes. If you just won a billion in a lottery and you know shit about investing, some idiot could easily lose it all within just a few years by living the lifestyle of someone who does have a billionaire's income.

Has there even been a lottery for that much?

Yes, there was one for 1.5 billion. Actual take home probably was a little less than a billion.

I'd probably spend the same.
