I’m not gonna lie, I’ve thought about this question before…
What kind of stupid stuff would I buy if I won the lottery tomorrow…?
A pool filled with Jello, maybe? The possibilities are endless!

1. This sounds awesome to me.
“A 1950s style movie theater with balconies and ushers in pillbox hats and shiny brass buttons. It’d be enormous, to fit as many as possible in comfort, with a massive screen and top-of-the-line modern sound system. Tickets at the box office only, cheap prices for all but luxury balconies. High paid staff. Classic concessions, at low prices.
Movies shown would be chosen by me, daily. All my favorites. I’d record an introduction for each movie like Walt Disney, while sitting in a leather back chair in front of a fireplace, wearing a velvet smoking jacket and reading a book. With a corny “Oh, hello there. I didn’t hear you come in. Tonight’s picture is special to me because,” etc.
We’d do theme days. Like Star Wars, in order of episode, on May 4th every year. Or Friday the 13th marathons on Friday the 13th.
Movie genres would be a big range (PG13 and R after 8), but as they would be my picks, there wouldn’t be much drama, romance, or Oscar bait. Horror, sci-fi, action, adventure, and comedy though? Oh yeah.
It would operate at a perpetual loss, but I’m a fuckin billionaire, what do I care?”
2. Don’t do it!
“One of those roomba lawn mowers.
If it’s anything like the vacuum then i’m still putting in time watching it making sure it doesn’t get stuck somewhere or need cleaning.”
3. Think BIG.
“I thought about buying the most ridiculous PC setup ever, but then realized I wasn’t thinking big enough.
As a billionaire I could instead buy a company to engineer PCs that would be obsolete in less than a year on my behalf.”
4. A great idea.
“I’d commission someone to build me a superhero outfit just so that when I have kids and a family.
I can have them ‘stumble’ onto it and pretend that I was a vigilante in my early years.”
5. A what?
“A giant boulder.
Hear me out. Ever hear of Levitated Mass in Los Angeles? They brought in a 340 ton boulder as a permanent public art installation at LACMA. The project was estimated at $10 million. I’d like a similar boulder, brought in from a similar distance for my backyard.
I want people to wonder, “Why?” And “How?” Whenever they visit my home and see a large boulder sitting in my yard, serving no purpose but to make people wonder.
They’d have to dismantle pieces of my home, or demolish my neighbor’s home to get such a boulder into my backyard.
Perhaps I’d use it as a cornerstone of my house, which would otherwise be made of modern materials, visible from the inside as well as out.
It’s the most baller thing I could possibly do.”
6. Never wear them twice.
“New pair of socks everyday.
One of the best feelings in the world.”
7. Always have it on hand.
“A sack of hammers.
Then when anyone says something that pisses me off, I’ll point at it and say “you’re not dumber than that are you?!””
8. You do you.
“I’d buy a snake. Habitat and everything.
And not a cheap one either, an expensive ass snake. Like a 2,000 dollar snake.
Then I’d pay someone to take care of it, but the point is I bought a snake.”
9. I like this one.
“An island and turn it into a republic.”
10. What band?
“I would buy all tickets to a “insert popular music artist” concert. At the day of the concert I would appear too late to the concert and leave the place after 5 minutes. When the artist stops playing after seeing me leaving, i would heavily complain.
That’s it.”
11. Hype it up.
“I’d pay someone to be my hype man. No matter where I went, there’d be someone hyping me and keeping the mood right.
Like, I’m buying groceries and my hype guy is there going “Yooo getcha sad asses out my man’s way! We got parties to get to and fine women to kiss!””
12. The ultimate LEGO tribute.
“All the Lego sets, and a house to display them in.”
13. This is for you, friend.
“Ten metric tons of lucky charms marshmallows delivered to a friend.”
14. Well, that’s a lot of help…
“A billboard advertising nothing.
“Headaches? Trouble sleeping? That’s rough, buddy”.”
15. I’m on board with this.
“A huge garage and scores of classic cars, especially muscle cars from the 1960s and very early 70s.”
16. I need to become friends with this person.
“Giant. Fucking. Ball pit.”
Not bad, not bad at all!
How about you?
