I want a jet fighter. I wonder if I could get a relatively new one. All weapons would have to be removed of course. It would be the sports car of the air. I would need to get a billion dollars first though so that I could afford top notch maintenance. This would be my expensive toy. Instead of a yacht the new "in" thing could be buying a sport jet. In reality, I like the idea more then the reality of it. If I really had a billion dollars I would simply buy a porsche and use all my free time to do research.

A billion dollars for a fighter plane. Good lord, this actually brings into context how fucking rich Bill Gates is. This and the fact that he can give every single person on Earth a billion dollars each and still be among the richest people on the planet.

Much cheaper and as much fun to buy an aerobatic airplane. I know you can purchase decommissioned Russian fighters, but I have no idea what they cost.

"Ellison also owns at least two fighter jets: an SIAI-Marchetti S.211, used by the Italian Air Force, and a decommissioned MiG-29, for which the US Government has refused him permission to import" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Ellison
