I never understood the appeal of anything rich people like. A yacht? An HOA? A supercar? These don’t appeal to me at all. If given them I would hate them.
I mean it might be fun to buy a politician but otherwise it sounds boring.
I mean yachts seem to be his hobby, he has several. Idk, they can be kinda cool, but only in retirement and on vacations. Day to day, completely useless and cost a lot of money to maintain even when not used. And I don't think megayachts are as cool as smaller ones because part of the appeal to me is to get away from everyone. I wouldn't want 100 people on my yacht. Maybe 4-5 of my closest friends, but you can do that with a yacht costing two orders of magnitude less (and even that is if you want a passagemaker. Something that doesn't have to be able to cross the ocean can be had for well under a million I think)
Supercars are fun IF you track them. Wouldn't want to drive one in traffic. Much prefer a luxury car for that if I was rich. Of course I think any rich person who owns supercars and hypercars, also has luxury cruisers to waft around in (or to be wafted around in).
HOAs I'll never get. Fuck anyone who thinks they can impose rules on what I do with my own yard.
Well, well under a million. You can cross the ocean safely and in comfort on 30k yachts, 10ish metres.
Same. I'd probably build a giant dog park, giant playground for kids, lots of natural trails, etc. make it all free.
Build shelters for anyone to use, garages where people could work on their cars safely and out of the elements, bike repair stations, things like that.
Farmers markets with real prices, completely remove all investors and profit hell, just back to basics. Healthcare too.
Fuck a super yacht. Tells you how selfish people are, completely unaware how they got where they are.
They could spend 10k/day and never spend all their money, not even a dent. Just selfish pricks. Bring the guillotine.
My friends and I have this imaginary scenario of funny things we could do with lots of money. A few that come to mind:
I think I'm going to start referring to this scenario as #withGabeNewellsmoney
Real. Give me a state of the art lab for multidisciplinary scientific research and some of the world's best scientists to do as they wish in that lab. I have so many unanswered questions about the universe.
Well the submarine on their is for research afaik (the hospital too I guess) he is doing ocean floor mapping afaik with manned submarines
Alright, I guess that's fairly relatable then.
The only insane rich people things I'd do that a dentist couldnt are, like, a lazy river with fish and some cool greenhouses. Maybe some science funding for weird shit I want.
