    I think beyond a maid, personal chef, and the horse farm I would also want one of these:

    Sudbury Valley School • Home

    Only I wouldn't let folk in till they were 8 or maybe even 10.

      PrincessPerky, do you know about this one? A. S. Neill's Summerhill School


      Where kids have freedom to be themselves...

      Where success is not defined by academic achievement but by the child's own definition of success...

      Where the whole school deals democratically with issues, with each individual having an equal right to be heard...

      Where you can play all day if you want to...

      And there is time and space to sit and dream...

          Interesting question... One which I have given no thought, but I promise I will and get back to you.

            yep, but that ones in England, the other is in US, though if I were really a millionaire I would study the differences and make sure our school for folk was the best of both.

            BTW I would not send my own kids to even a school like that till about 8 or 10, though I would love the option then.

              Yeah, a waterfront home. Maybe one in the Caribbean, maybe one on a nearby lake....

                I would need a Tesla roadster to get to the airport, unless I had an airstrip for my plane, which I'd need to get to the Hunter Cat 50 sailboat if I wasn't spending the winter on it in the Caribbean.

                  A nice big boat with a big cabin. Something I can cruise around in the ocean all day with and go jet skiing, para-sailing, etc.. I went fishing on the ocean for the first time this year and I'm in love.

                        DW & I would move to Italy and buy an old villa with lots of history and character. We'd spend the rest of our lives enjoying a small town on the Amalfi coast and randomly traveling through Europe.

                        A jet to get our families back and forth from the US would also be handy.

                            I'd also second the RV purchase. I've told my wife many times that when I retire, I'd like to get one and travel around the country. But a multimillion dollar home on Bay Lake at Disney World would be a nice place to come back to.
                            Perhaps we could be neighbors (assuming we were both rich)! I had no idea that disney had this!

                            Honestly, that would be my vacay home. I'd want a home in Seattle to be close to friends, not to mention all the great food!

                                The only thing I can come up with is a corvette... I guess a bigger house with a larger garage to house the new vehicle too
