Buy 16,000 one ounce silver coins.

Bury them at a very well hidden point along the Appalachian trail.

Hike the trail for two weeks with my wife, leaving a series of clues as we go.

Record exact GPS location of first clue

Through several layers of cutouts, place ads in many national newspapers with just the GPS coordinates of the start.

I'd buy one of those abandoned malls and turn it into a paintball park. How badass would that be? Maybe reinforce a wing of it for live fire training.

I’d buy The Lake City ammunition plant(s?) everyone that’s been an active member here for at least 5 years gets a pallet of ammo free of charge.

Welcome to bankruptcy.

Those planes require in the high hundreds of millions to own and operate.

And the G7 will do close to 7500 nm. You’ll have to stop for gas in the BBJ (737-700).

Once you got proficient in the Avenger, you’d be bored. Spitfire is what you seek. Narrow gear taildraggers are ALWAYS exciting.

I would get the largest single pilot Citation or Phenom (sorry no TBM @FluffyTheCat) to fly between my houses in PHX, Vail, IN and FL.

Yachts and jets are how lotto winners go broke. You need a steady stream of income to maintain them. Better to lease them as needed.

Hmmm, way-too-fancy high maintenance house on 1.6 acres or a couple thousand acres with a low-maintenance house and my own private shooting/hunting/offroading compound...

If it was in the 100 million plus range, I’d fly to NYC and deal with one of the top law firms to start.  Probably start setting up a name change and new location to move to.

My new yacht


or maybe

Designed to accommodate 14 guests for extended periods of time in the remotest locations on earth, the G10 medium sized explorer yacht is a purpose-built steel hulled motor yacht with an ice class hull (PC2). Her steel hull has the strength to endure the intensity of driving through moderate multi-year ice conditions. Undoubtedly, making her one of the most formidable yachts of her size.

With the advent of hand-held remote controls, azipods, and bow thrusters, the G10
is designed for minimal crew for a more private cruising experience offering an extreme range of 22,000nm, equating to a 90-day endurance at 10kts.
The 3,462 sq. ft. aircraft hangar can accommodate four small or three medium helicopters.

Or maybe a Caribu

I'd probably not buy much more than bullets, guns and fishing lures the rest of my life if that happened.
