I'll ask a question here that I've asked before, elsewhere.
Suppose your family was one of the "1 percenters." Make it even a "one tenth of one percenter." That mean truly wealthy.
Now (an impossible task), imagine that your are still who you are now, with the one difference that you have all the money you could possibly want. What sort of a "toy" would you like to have? This could be anything, with the understanding that it has to exist, it can be bought, and it's something that will make you AND OTHERS happier.
I'll give you an example. Growing up dirt poor, we rarely went to an amusement park. When we did, there was one "ride" that always drew me in, and which I never got to ride as much as I wanted to. The bumper cars!!! I would like to have my own bumper car ride. I could conduct races, etc. I could drive around and run into anyone.
Yeah, it's silly.
By the way, my second choice would be this cruise ship as my private yacht:
Today it is the "Cristal," belonging to Louis Cruise Lines, but when I first saw it, it was Norwegian Cruise Lines' "Leeward." It has an interesting history. It started as a ferry, but sank due to a door problem. It's original name was the "Sally Albatros," I believe. It's a small ship, not much bigger than a yacht, anyway. I especially like the neat angle on the stern.
