If I were Filthy Rich

+125 If you took home 300 million AFTER tax...would you build your own home?

If your cash was 300 mil after tax, would you buy prebuilt or would you build your own home on your own land? How many houses would you have?

I think I would have 3 in the US (east coast, middle America and west coast) and 1 abroad somewhere. I don't think I would build my own home...plenty of built houses already.

What would you guys do? What kinda house would you have and where? How many?

Good luck/God bless!

+79 @silent_fungus I don’t think I’d build fresh. It’d take years to design and getting permits to build. I’d just buy one house. No need to buy multiple across the country and around the world. I’d be afraid of people squatting while I’m gone.

+20 @Myspacecutie69 I’d probably build. Buy land and build a modestly sized house. What stops me from just buying instead of building is how poorly made houses are. Low cost materials that are designed to build a house quickly isn’t my thing. I’d think maybe no more than 1,500 square feet, as a sort of mid century log cabin hybrid type of thing. I’m more in it for the land. Build trails for walking and trail running, a disc golf course, little skatepark and big areas full of native pollinator plants. I’d be happy with one home as long as the property is big enough. Probably somewhere along Appalachia, western Carolina’s, Virginia or eastern Tennessee. Climate is nice, still gets all four seasons, and I’m a sucker for lush greenery and mountains.

+13 @BlueRFR3100 I'm torn. I like the idea of building something that would be exactly how I want it. But, I really hate where I'm living now and would want to get into another place ASAP.

+12 @Polar_Ted Buy an existing home that fits my needs and live there while I build my custom home. I may also buy a beach home..
