You’re stupid rich. What do you do?

Posted by stuart as

Let’s say for argument’s sake that you struck it super rich. I’m not just talking comfortable here, I’m talking stupid filthy nasty dirty rich.

What would you do? I don’t want to hear that you’d pay off the mortgage and get a sensible car, I want to hear about the one ridiculously expensive extravagance you would treat yourself to.

For me, I live in Adelaide, Australia. We have two Australian football teams from this fair city, in the National Competition (AFL). Of the two teams, one is the super rich, ridiculously popular Adelaide Crows. They enjoy the luxury of a waiting list for major sponsors, waiting list for season tickets, and a sycophantic, pandering local media.

My team, on the other hand, the Port Adelaide Power, are the blue collar club, scraping and scrimping to match it with the power clubs in the league, and, I might say, punching well above their weight.

Both of these clubs share the same home ground, formerly known as Football Park, now named after an insurance company.

So with my untold millions, I would do two things:

1. Give a hefty cash injection to my club, and;
2. Buy the naming rights to the shared stadium, naming it the “Port Adleiade Football Club says the Adelaide Crows Suck Stadium”

Be worth the million or so a year just so see the other mob squirm every time they went to the stadium.

So what would you? Solid Gold House? Rocket Car?
