I left out: A couple hundred acres with a runway and hangar.

A massive car and gun collection and a nice Peterbilt "389" or a Kenworth W900/T800 to transport some of them to car shows throughout the country.

When cruise ships get back up and running it would be fun to spend 3 straight months just living aboard cruise ships - go ship to ship and explore the various destinations and amenities.
I love this!

I'd donate to the above luxury dog rescue and then buy a dozen houses around the country just so I could decorate them : )

I'd be needing a few sailboats.

J-boat - J-111 would be nice - for racing and coastal jaunts. Probably have the interior spruced up just a bit, for comfort. Wooden sailboat large enough to be seaworthy, hold a good book collection and provisions for months at sea. Schooner in the 120-foot range, I think. And a multihull for fun.

Workshop for boat maintenance - woodwork, rigger's loft, leather, sails, single malt.

And I'd be wanting to go back to school. Law, history, antropology...

Wine. No bottle under $20 in my cellar.

Restore old 80s arcade games
Halloween animatronics
Perpetual student. I'm not really what you would consider smart, but I love being around information and academia. There's a big list under this.

No bottle under $100. Shoot, I wouldn't waste time with my Silver Oak cab, Alexander Valley. I would stick Silver Oak, Napa Valley.

I think I'd collect jewelry and rare plants.

I hear you, but... Time and place. Sometimes you want to listen to Aida with the full orchestra and 100-person choir, and sometimes you just want a good blues guitarist in a bar.
