I’d hire a Michelin star chef to cook for me.

Short term; buy and Aston Martin, use it to drive to a nearby AD which has a platona that's taunting me. Buy that then road trip in the Aston to the country where my manager is based to hand in my resignation in person then go out for a ludicrously extravagent lunch (I enjoy my job but if I'm this filthy rich, someone else could benefit from the income more than me).

Longer term having purchased all the "toys" I would like for friends and family, I would set up trusts to ensure my child, any future offspring and their descendants will always be looked after then endow a chair and a couple of scholarships at my alma mater and set up a foundation to fund scientific research. A bit left-field perhaps but I have always loved science and this would be a fun way to keep my finger on the pulse while contributing to the future.

I am filthy rich.
I have my health, I have my loved ones alive and healthy. The rest is a bonus.

More money would not make me spend more. I would give more.

I would be a formerly filthy rich person who gave most of it away.

I'm right where I need/want to be

But I would leave a little bit to ensure my car gets washed daily. I absolutely hate washing my car but I hate having a dirty car even more.

Hmmm..

I would order hundreds of Guinnesses on a night out and only drink the head.

Publish a book on how to lose weight. The first page would just say “eat less” rest of it would be blank.

Sit at the redline whenever I am near an electric car to offset whatever they are trying to achieve.

And all the boring stuff. Build homes for the homeless, schools, wells etc.

Buy a PM Rolex in hopes they would allow me the privilege to buy a SS model.

I'd set up a full time school in my hometown for kids to learn the skills that would ensure they'd always be gainfully employed in the tech industry. It would be a sliding scale for tuition, with those from the lowest income household situations receiving full scholarships while kids from more privileged backgrounds pay the equivalent of a decent (but not top end) private school.

The expectation would be that all graduates would "give back" to the school by donating their time to help teach/train during summer camps, or fund a scholarship for a student to attend.
