Just a wonder on how you’d spend it. I’d probably buy up some land and build a nice village or town kind of similar to Poundbury. I’d probably sell houses at a fair price but only to people who send in a CV and seem to be upstanding people who actually want to work and be a part of a community, as well as giving them a mortgage Then I’d have a nice mansion and pretend to be a Lord where I can look over my wonderful tenants and maybe buy them Christmas gifts and send them birthday cards. Help them out if they need it.

Basically what some Lords did centuries ago but probably more kinder. Oh, and the place will be built with nice old timey architecture as well. Probably cobble streets because screw cars lmao. I just want to give people a nice life I guess as well as LARP as nobility

    Maybe buy a few companies I really hate and just shut them down?

    Produce a few films. Hire someone to rewrite and rework the script I have for a short. The premise is good, my writing sucks.

    Maybe start a studio, I’ve always loved the film industry.

    Get a pilots license.

    Buy a summer house on a lake with a dock.

    Get a Grumman Mallard or similar.

    Use it as a flying RV and go camping all over.

    Build really cool Halloween setups each year.

    Hand out full size candy bars.

    Get a hair transplant or something.

      This might actually put a dent in the €5B :D all of the rest you listed is probably another 5% max.

      €5B is an unfathomably large number

        Yea. It just gets more ridiculous as I start spending it on the cheapest things. There aren’t a lot of things I’d want to do other than work for myself on things that I find enjoyable.
