Stupid shit to do with money

If I was Bill Gates rich I'd do two really things stupid things with my money:

1. Right when you walked into my house I'd have an assload of those replica storm troopers, and arrange them in all in formation, also when the door opened Darth Vader's theme (The Imperial March) would play, kinda like this:

The Setup:


The Music:


2. I would have a bar in my basement, but I'd build an exact replica of the bar from Cheers (the tv show)

Would you guys do anything as excessively wasteful?

My wheelchair would be SICK man. Hover option, mags, guns (regular and stun), chrome, fast, stereo, good shit.
Oh, and a gimp.
My home would resemble hell, most would fear entering, ever.

Probably not. I'd want to keep it low key if, for instance, I won the lottery, for privacy reasons. About the most wasteful thing I dream of is alternative real estate development (green building, permaculture, etc.) which probably wouldn't make any money.

I'd hire a chauffeur, because I hate driving.

I'd fund an orchestra and an opera company from the ground up. I'd be the principal clarinet, and Mrs. Dallas would be the music director. I'd be very up-front that this was a vanity project, but we would still make sure it kicked ass.

I'd donate enough money to my alma mater that they couldn't refuse it, but the condition would be they'd have to name a building after a professor that the students liked, but who pissed off the administration.

If you had that much money, why not go all the way and get real people in stormtrooper armor to stand by? Then they could salute you & everything as you walked in, or escort you to your shuttle, er, I mean, car.

If you do you should also hire a "Cliff," and "Norm," possibly a "Diane."

You'd be happy till you discovered there was no fresh water source, the bugs would be intolerable, no one would be able to visit (that may not be a bad thing), and a small tusnami would ruin all your fun... forever.

Since they've already done everything stupid with money that can be imagined, I'd probably just buy Dubai.

Except that it has too much beach.
