This made my day. I am now totally sure I don't want a super yacht. If I did have one, I'd want the toilets to be clean and the dining room to serve good dinner. On the picture that asks if I want the yacht, the classic car or the private jet, I found myself thinking that I'd like to build a replica of the classic car. That'd be way more fun than owning any of the three and would save about 99% of the budget. I guess I missed the point.

Doing interesting things builds your self-worth. Owning interesting things only demonstrates your wealth.

I'd be torn between the boat and the plane. Living on a boat has some nice things to it, and the plane is both useful and a lot of the operational cost can be offset by keeping it flying. The car? Meh...

  The boat would definitely be nicer than my house, so I would move into the boat permanently and figure out from there how I will maintain it. If you think the 27ft sloop in the local marina has some bodge jobs, just wait until you see what I cook up trying to fix a super yacht with unlimited time and no money.

  The car is likely to increase in value, while the boat and plane will only go down, in addition to having far higher maintenance costs.

I'll take a hotwheels version of the car, and the rest in cash. Who spends $50 million on a car?

  >Who spends $50 million on a car? Someone who has so much money that $50M feels the same to them as the price of the hotwheels feels to you. (Also, people without that much money who are impulsive).

    I don't think there are $50 million cars even one of the GT40's and Ferraris that raced at Lemmans a lot less than that.

      Yea, the car displayed (250 GTO) sold for $48 million at auction in 2018

        Ah I sit corrected - I seem to recall one of the Lemans Ferraris was $16 Mil

    Having that kind of money is like `iddqd` for life: fun for five minutes, then the game gets boring.

      Instead of getting a $50M car, I would hire a small team of scientists to optimize the middle-class purchasing decisions I already make.

  Someone who's confident he can resell it in a few years for $70 million or more.

It is not imperative that yacht owners invite Lindsey Lohan and her ilk aboard.

  TBH, she would probably be a lot of work.
