    Obviously based on the "What do you splurge on" thread, but this one is about what you would splurge on if overnight your networth increased to be ten times what it is currently.

    While I'd like to say I wouldn't change much, I do have a few luxuries that I would probably indulge in:
    1. A cleaner twice per week for a couple of hours
    2. Fly business class (I'm 198cm tall)
    3. Buy an EV (ideally a stationwagon like the VW ID7 Tourer)

    Definitely a cleaner (haven’t had any since we moved into a larger house as it was quoted $450/2 weeks :eek:)
    Buy hubby a 911.

    (Non Investment) wise, I'd spend a year living around Asia, Europe and then North America in that order but then I have 2 dependant kids who need decent schooling so this has to happen post them finishing high school LOL. I'd probably also salary package getting a good ole Tesla EV.

    Truth is there's nothing I would do with 10x more that I couldn't already do now. I have simple wants....apart from lots of intl travel:D.

    I think about buying more top class farmland all the time, and also adding more quality antique firearms but no. I’ve been reading parts of ‘Poor Charlie’s Almanac’ and reflecting on his philanthropic efforts throughout his life.

    Perhaps it’s an avenue I’d pursue more as my wealth grows. Not even sure how to begin.

    I'd probably buy one of those flash holiday homes with ocean views on many hectares. Circa $10-15m

    Would probably upgrade to a very significant custom PPOR.
