- planetguy 14y agoRichard Branson, Elon Musk. Even Larry, Sergey and Eric recently acquired a fighter jet. Then you've got Silvio Berlusconi, who bought himself the Prime Ministership of Italy and spent the whole time having what he called "Bunga Bunga Parties", which is closer to my fantasy at sixteen than my fantasy at nine, but it'll do.

He was into bunga-bunga before, he just carried on despite his 70+ years. His "billionaire behaviour" was more about buying or building outrageous McMansions around the country, which is typical of his original background (a property developer with shady links to the mafia).

- nodata 14y agoHeard of Richard Branson? He has. He also owns Necker island.
