Outrageous purchase

I was watching a TV programme about millionaires. By millionaires I'm talking Richard Branson types, not poor lottery winners. They were interviewing some woman who was a buyer for the rich. She explained that she had once been contacted by a millionaire who wanted to buy a fighter jet to put in her back garden. No reason for it, other than she just fancied it and could afford it.

So, my question is, if you were super rich, what outrageous thing would you buy just because you could?

    Aston villa football club. I'd sell all their good players, buy lots of crap players and watch them sink without trace ??

    So good you said it 4 times ?. I couldn't think of anything myself but that has gave me an idea. I would buy Newcastle United and change their strips to red and white.

    Now that sounds a fab idea but would you do it four times over? What happened to the icon?

    I'd do the same, and extend my sabotage to Worcester Rugby club too!

    ? at poor Aston Villa's future demise!

    I'd do a parabolic flight.

    I'd also like to design and build a roller coaster, I think. And I'd like to fund some blue skies research or perhaps pay someone lots of money to make a sky hook possible...

    Ooh Zebra I like the idea of designing a roller coaster. Like Rollercoatser Tycoon, but in real life.

    I've always quite fancied owning my own Formula One team. That would be quite glamourous I think.
