        Buying a house was / is still plenty expensive but a riverfront one? Riverfront is at least an order of magnitude more expensive. And insurances hait those since the last big floods in these parts and it shows in their premium.

    Reminds me of a quote from the TV Show Billions.

    “What’s the point of having ‘fuck you’ money, if you never say fuck you?”

    • Bobby Axelrod, Billions.

    However to your question, live life the way I want. Simple as that.

    Leave my job & go and see the world. Possibly by finishing off my sailing quals & buying a luxury catamaran or trimaran.

    Dump all of it into researching how to grow tardigrades larger, until they are big enough to take down a fully grown man. Then build up an army of them and unleash them on the world.

    With my tardigrade army giving me complete control over the world, I will begin enacting my ultimate goal:

    Making that bitch Sarah pay for making fun of me in primary school.

    “Fuck you” Sarah.

    I would buy as much land as I could. Build myself a reasonable house and a load of barns. I have always wanted to run a farm animal sanctuary that takes in abused and unwanted farm friends. Then I would spend the rest of my days laughing at goats and cows and chickens being derpy. That and maybe take a nice vacation to the beach once in a while.

    Build my dream house with an architect. After that I would probably travel the world with friends and family.

    I’d buy myself a few mercenary armies and state armies as well as weapon manufacturers and just stop selling weapons and waging war. These people probably have skills as drivers or watchmakers, so Glock would start making watches and Wagner would be a chauffeur service.

    I’ll probably still have a division special force to take guns away from everyone in the world but police force in Democratic governments. As soon as they fulfilled their purpose, they’d have to hand in their guns to the local police.

    My hypothesis is that every person with a gun is willing to part from it for the right price. And the others just have to go, I guess.

    I would:

    • Buy a FU environment Car, and use 100% of the speedometer because I paid for it.
    • Buy a FU sized house, and fill it full of ballpit balls, cocaine and hookers.
    • Buy a FU size music venue, pay U2 to play at the venue, give free entry to everyone and arm them all with 4 cartons of eggs each.
    • Throw a massive FU party on the biggest ocean cruiser, invite only the top 10% of richest people. Then scuttle the thing.

    Do I have any money left?

    • 50% goes to developing Australia.
    • 25% goes to the Linux foundation.
    • 20% goes to whoever is still alive in my family.
    • 5% goes to lizards on the internet, because frankly, the cats are getting too much attention and they are wayyy overrated.
