If I were Filthy Rich

+155 what's your silliest lottery-money fantasy?

my happy place is a quiet diner in the middle of the night. if i win the lottery, i will build a private diner on my property. there will be a real cook and waitress, of course. i will then hire actors to run water and bang pots and pans around in the kitchen to emulate kitchen noises. there will also be an actor who sits quietly in the corner and drinks coffee. it will be the perfect diner ambiance for me to go whenever i want

+102 @new1207 Build a house with secret passages and doors that look like bookcases

+37 @4NotMy2Real0Account My silliest purchase would billboards all across the country telling people to "keep right except to pass. If there is a line of cars behind you and open road in front of you, get out of the left lane." I would have it in multiple languages.

+35 @KrAff2010 I really want a life sized replica of a dinosaur skeleton. I’m thinking either a spinosaurus or allosaurus

+30 @Gogsgogford28 Not silly but maybe extravagant. I would have an ER doctor, dentist, beauty therapist and a masseuse on retainer to drop everything when I need them. I would employ a housekeeper to deliver me tea in bed of a morning and run everything in the house, plus a full time cook, who would also do all the grocery shopping, even though it’s just the 3 of us.

+24 @Slowroll900 My biggest fantasy is to live a modest life and never think about money.

+19 @Not_A_Meme New socks, every time i put on socks.

+18 @WanderingTrader11 Guys. A giant bunker complex, either underground or deep in a mountain. With everything in it one could ever need or want, including a hidden parking garage.

+16 @Mikill1995 I have many fun business ideas, like a Jurassic World-themed archery range where you can shoot animatronic dinosaurs out of moving vehicles with a bow and arrow, or a circus-themed gym with lots of aerial hoop, aerial silks, etc. classes. I also want to design my own escape room - maybe I'll just gift it to an actual escape game business afterwards, because while I do want to design one, I don't want to maintain it. Also, in the past rich people donated like museums and libraries to cities. I want to do something like that, create a new sight for our town and provide some value to the community (anonymously, if possible). I also want to adopt or foster a lot of animals from shelters. And I want a house with secret passages hidden behind bookcases. Realistically, I'd probably not do all of those things... but I'm still only in my early thirties, so who knows.

+16 @lvl_60 Simple. Batman.

+16 @PeoniesNLilacs I’m going to hire someone specifically to wash cilantro and gas up my car. Those two tasks annoy me to no end. I will also live in the world’s #1 spa meditating, living slowly, eating clean and receiving daily massages for a whole year-hitting the reset button!

+15 @Prince_Kaos this is the thread I like to read and need in my life. Nice one OP!

+14 @Effective_Shirt6660 Just to be able to retire and not work until the day i die

+14 @DrTriage I would have a limo pick my best friend since middle school, take him and his wife to the airport to board the private jet I’ve chartered and fly to the far corner of the country so we can fly fighter jets. He’s an accomplished aviator so I’d pay for him to fly the F-104 for a day.

+13 @Pitiful_Speech2645 Hire my own privately funded fire station.

+13 @jdthejerk The Old Dog Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation Center. Felines, Equines, and others Welcome.

+13 @dlray009 Help my family and friends

+12 @oregonchick I want a train like the one at Disney parks that would go all over the property I would buy. I'd also have at least one "town" facade that might have a gazebo or indoor room so you can stage things there. Decorate for the seasons, like Halloween with creepy decor, or Christmas with carols and lights, or whatever, and make it available during family parties, reunions, etc. Trains like this: https://www.westerntrain.com/locomotives

+12 @imuniqueaf I'm not sure how silly it is, but I want a warehouse. One part is old car storage, one part is car repair with a lift, one side is a woodshop, on side is a entertainment center with movie theater/concession stand and a 50s Diner.

+12 @mister_barfly75 Build a recording studio, hire members of my favourite bands as session musicians and producers, and record an album or two.

+11 @Terradactyl87 A big cat rescue on a castle property with live cams so people can watch the big cats do their thing. Maybe a rescue inside too of house cats and other pets.

+9 @silent_fungus I want a mini donkey.
