Working off of inglor thread about the Heniz ketchup heir.

This guy is doing what he wants to do. He is enjoying life. Now if you had the money that Ketchup boy has and could live out your hearts desire what would it be?


Mine would be to travel. To go to all the places I want to go and see. To learn to paint (even if I'm not good at it) To slow down and do all the things that I want to do and not have to worry about paying bills.

I would travel and be a photographer.

My dream would be to own a home on a beautiful tropical island and have my own private beach where clothing was optional. I would wake up whenever the hell I wanted to wake up and then stay up half the night doing whatever. And since I would be independently wealthy, I would be able to have the money to buy all the books that I want and then the time to read them. When I got bored with living in my tropical paradise, I would venture out and travel the world and go shopping for clothing, jewelry and shoes.

Go to school for the rest of my life, getting one stinkin degree after another and never fearing that my GPA will drop below 3.5 and the scholarship people will come after me with a bazooka.

And pay off the mortgage. Maybe buy an island and Johnny Depp.

Id be married to a STEVE look-alike and have 3 kiddies. Having had my first novel published and made decent cash, i'd open a kitty adoption centre and run it from my fabulus house. When i wasnt busy with my catses and novel writing career (and my brats), i'd be in my Majorcan villa, sunning myself next to STEVE. Perhaps we'd take the kids to our Modena apartment so Mommy could catch the Monza GP? Dunno - we have a busy schedule! STEVE is very rich and horny, doncha know!

And i'd have lost 50 pounds and straightened my hair successfully! The boob job was a success too! ( o ) ( o )

Oh, I also forgot to mention that I would be writing furiously on my laptop as I laid out on the beach each day. I would probably be working on either a smutty novel or a massive historical epic about ancient Egypt. And the beauty of it would be that I would write for the joy of research and love of writing and not because I had a dang paper due.

[Hathor]

Heart's desire would involve a PhD in history, a laptop and eternal renown in tales, songs and cheesy TV films.

Because everyone knows that a historian is cool.

[Roisin]

I also think I would like to be a very well-dressed philanthopist. Sort of like Audrey Hepburn, but fatter.

Well, lets see:

1. Buy a tiny cabin home in Montana with about 1000 acres of land.
2. Buy a hybrid
3. Adopt children from South America
4. Put them all through college

And I bet that would use up all my money

[BittenBuggy]

Oh yes, and breast implants.

I once had the misfortune of buying a lottery ticket before a 7 hour drive by myself. It was when the Power Ball hit $250mil. I had it all spent.

3 houses on Ono Island, 1 for me and wife, 1 for family and 1 for friends. All my friends were set up so they could do what they wanted and still play with me. Parents on the golf course and brother set up to do whatever he wanted. About 10,000 acres of mature timberland in SW Alabama, to hunt and fish with said friends. Place in Colorado, North Carolina, Montrose. Private plane, of course, Land Cruiser, custom 67GTO, custom Shelby Cobra (old one), and whatever my wife wanted.

This was after wife and I had seen the Pyramids, Great Wall, Rome, Europe, and every historically significant site on the planet. Not to mention scenic.

Oh yeah, and a place in the Caymans and Belize.

There would be a Forestry Building with my name on it and a Box in Jordan Hare Stadium. House in Auburn with lots of rooms for said friends when the Tigers were in town and a bus when they weren't.

Scholarships for every orphan in Mobile and Baldwin Counties. Computers and finacial help for the orphanages. Lots of Scholarships for others too. Philanthropy would be a big part.

After I got all that situated, I'd do what ever the hell I wanted. Probably revolve around writing, wood work, and trees.

And never wear a tie again

Like I said, I had a long drive...

[SpaceWeavil]

I would move back to London quicker than you could actually say ‘move back to London’ and get either a houseboat on the Thames, somewhere just outside city centre maybe, or a house in Bayswater, just a couple of minutes’ walk from Hyde Park.

I’d finish off my degree, without having to grovel to the Scottish Students’ Awards malarky just to get my grant, and then I would do my bar vocational course at the Inns of Court, without having to worry about where I’m getting £10,500 from. Then, once qualified as a barrister, I would probably end up doing as little work as I could, representing rich celebrities with privacy issues or something.

I’d pay the £3000 odd or whatever it is now to do the Blue Badge course and become a ‘certified’ tour guide and wander around in my spare time, imparting useless information to rich American tourists. In my spare time from doing that, I’d churn out endless streams of novels, probably ghost/horror stuff or historical stories or murder mysteries or, or, or….

I’d enrol at the City Lit every year to study a different language until I could at least say ‘help’ or ‘where can I buy some tacky souvenirs’ in each one.

I’m in two minds about the plastic surgery. With my face I could use some, but the idea of someone having to smash my nose to bits and reassemble me just freaks me out. I’ve never managed to watch all of ‘Face/Off’ yet so couldn’t really stomach having something done myself

I don’t think I missed anything out.

Let me add. I would buy a house on some island. Punta Cana or St Lucia. I would then buy a house up in the Smokey Mtns. Then a loft apartment in a major city.

School would be an interesting thought, but then I am bad to get wild hairs to want to take off somewhere and school would so hinder me. LOL trying to get around working is bad enough, but to add school to it!
