Ultimate Luxury
If money were no object, what would be your ultimate luxuries?
For me, it would be the ability to take care of my immediate family a little bit better. Of course, there would be the grail watch and car and being able to travel privately without TSA interference. As I hate shaving, I think there’d be a place in the house with a comfortable barber chair and someone to give an old-fashioned shave and another spot to sit and have my shoes shined. What say all of you?

My own skyscraper for indoor basejumping? I really don't know I'd probably kill myself in a car accident because I'm a stupid millennial who would buy a way too powerful flashy car.

Since we are talking luxury. I'll assume my family and those costs are funded and go for a truly unneeded luxury item.
I would order the shorter EarthRoamer. |

Sunseeker 161
Had a Sunseeker dealership in the DP harbor and always wanted one. Still waiting on a much much smaller slip. |

I'd like about 150 feet of private oceanfront property in Southhampton, like this:

If money were no object, the ultimate luxury for me would be to buy multiple Rolex ADs and hold daily raffle giveaways for TRF.

The ultimate luxury would be to invent the ultimate luxury. That said, there isn't one. I'm gonna need some time to think now.

Private island off the grid with several golf courses, a humidor the size of a small house. A race track to drive on and a bunch of really fast cars. Oh and some watches of course.

I would start with my own G650.
Then I would fly to Jackson Hole, NYC, Amsterdam, Dublin, and Vienna to start the home buying process(es). |

Because you can live in 5 places at the same time?

My true ultimate luxury would be to have the mortgage paid off and never have to worry about money.
Next step would be a front porch and back deck added on...heaven... And to bring it to the luxury level, this Back Cove 30 footer would be a dream... But if I were to bring it...and I mean bring it big time...this would be my boat. I think I'd have to hire T-Pain and the SNL gang to do a 'I'm on a boat' video Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would buy a sports team, NHL or NBA and become very hated by fans due to my incompetent dabbling in GM's decisions.

If I had to pick one, time.
I can do anything with it. Make money, travel places, go fast, spend it with family and friends, it doesn’t matter I just need time. It isn’t just a luxury, it is my most valuable asset. |

Like this.....just bigger. Plus spend a good chunk of the whole year on holiday. Balanced out with some philanthropic activities of equal measure.

The way I see it there is no peace in a "money were no object " life. Plenty of sharks out there ready to get a piece of your cake...it would be a constant,stressful fight. And worst of it all : no time for yourself.
I just need money enough not to work for the rest of my life and do/buy stuff I like anytime I want something. But I would still buy pre owned hybrid cars,period. And yes,my bikes would still cost a lot more than my car. |

Take care of all my family members and their kids. Pay off all their debts and set up college funds for their kids. Give a ton to the church where I belong, and the one I grew up in. Build a new Lodge for my Brethren with no dues owed to the Lodge but instead donate the dues to charity. Have a modest house built with a six car garage for all my toys. Personally, I don't really need/want anything.
