Let’s be real, financial stability is incredibly important. Sure, your relationships and health might be your top priorities, but if you’re constantly worried about paying your bills, it’s going to cause you a lot of stress and anxiety. But once you’ve got the essentials covered, what do you actually buy when you start earning decent money, your investments pay off, or you win the jackpot?
Well, some folks have so much spare cash that they come up with ludicrous ways to spend it.

My son’s godfather is fairly wealthy. He didn’t come from wealth, but did a hell of a job when he was given the right opportunity. He’s got to be worth 30-50 million. Private doctor, private banker, multiple homes, and a rather impressive collection of classic cars. But he is low key. I could afford the house his wife and him live in. The amount of free stuff he gets though is amazing. His various businesses have about $250 million in annual sales, it’s not uncommon for him to be invited to some deal in Maui or Tahoe for what essentially is a sales pitch.

Worked in finance in a HCOL east coast city. Had a client that bought the penthouse with a top floor garden so he didn’t have to go down to take his dog out to potty.

I worked for a wealthy lady who had a really beautiful yard, so nice in fact it was in Better Home & Gardens magazine. What she had was a banana tree that was in a larger planter, and because I live in Chicagoland the tree couldn’t survive the winters. What she did was have someone remove it from her yard every winter to store in a greenhouse, and then bring it back out when the weather was nice. I don’t know the cost, but I can’t imagine it being very cheap.
