    If you were crazy wealthy which would you do? a) Buy a gold plated yacht[^] b) Hire a construction crew to dig your name into the sand of your private beach so that it's visible from space[^]

    Howard Hughes was crazy and wealthy and he was a recluse. He died a miserable man. I would never wish to be that wealthy. I only wish to have enough to live comfortably and enough to leave to my children.

      This is just so tacky!!! Why can't crazy wealthy people have a simple apartment/house, normal cars, no gold "bling" ... It seems that the only wealthy person that seems to be mentally stable is Warren Buffet!

      Isn't his Billness reasonably sane?

        A gold plated boat might have advantages. I'm guessing algae and barnacles won't be able to grow on it, and it should never need new paint or cleaning. On the other hand I wouldn't own a gold plated anchor.

          You could do b) with little more than the funds to buy some weed killer and a spray bottle. Find your nearest large open space and voilà

            Neither of those: my name is not that unique (nor is his) and I get sea sick so boats are never going to happen and just because you have money doens't mean you should fritter it on worthless crap which highlights the fact that some people have far more money than sense. I, of course, would simply buy a solid gold Rolls Royce Phantom... :-)

                I agree. Even if putting up millions for someone to reinvent the toilet sounds crazy...it's for a good cause.

                                        If you were crazy wealthy which would you do? a) Buy a gold plated yacht[^] b) Hire a construction crew to dig your name into the sand of your private beach so that it's visible from space[^]

                                          Google images, safe search off, Big Erika and Little Erika could not possible yield more different responses. I can only conclude that Big Erika was filth.
