If you were wealthy, what ridiculous extravagance would you indulge?

When I lived at the house I always wanted a beer bar with several choices on tap and a built in freezer for frosted mugs. But that would be something practical, not extravagant.

I am so very blessed
In the scheme of things, my indulgence wouldn't be very costly, but very much wanted:
A maid. Someone to clean my home, put fresh sheets on my bed every day, do laundry (from washing to putting away), and other routine house chores. That way, I could have scads of time to cook and bake, which I really would love to do full time.

Not a bad choice, I would take a 69 Mach 1 as it was the pinnacle of Mustang body design IMO. But before that, I would want a 68 Cougar done in the same style with a few subtle nods to the Cougars Trans Am history.
So many things, travel, etcetera, but a few huge garages with about 40-50 cars capacity with 10 reserved permanent slots, but rotating others through as they catch my eye. Too many cool cars in the world to do it any other way.

happy to be living
Being rich never was a dream of mine however I like to be comfortable. I think if I came into a significant amount of money, I would buy acreage and cozy homes all over the country in private settings with no neighbors. And then I'd travel to these homes and appreciate the peace and quiet and lovely surroundings. Idaho, West Virginia, Maine, Kentucky and Montana come to mind!

That was my mom's desire. A mountain house overlooking the ocean.

Damned glad to meet you

Purchase the fastest car money can buy, then find the longest, straightest, flattest, section of highway in the U.S. that you can rent for an hour or two.
If I go through a worm hole and end up in another dimension, I'm Okay with that!

A home in the mountains and one on the beach, also extra homes so when the kids, grandkids and great grandkids visit, they have their own space.
I wouldn't own a bunch of homes because then you have to deal with them. Rentals would work for me. I'd want a private plane and full time pilot so I could go, "Gee, I'll bet Gatlinburg is gorgeous at Christmas," and someone would take me there. "My friend is giving a concert in Tombstone that I'd really like to see..." "I have a hankering for that seafood chowder at Maine Diner..."

exactly what I'd do. I'd be sure to include emptying the dishwasher. Not sure why I loathe that particular chore so much.
An interior designer too and someone to build me a library-reading room, and a huge catio so I could adopt a few more cats. And then the maid can do the litterboxes too.
that's all.
my dad is retiring next week after 23 years of doing just this
one time he flew someone's DOG from their vacation home somewhere down South, back home to NYC for a vet appointment. He was always typically flying around the Caribbean this time of year too, dropping off and picking up those vacationers. If you ask my mother it was always right when she'd get hit with a snowstorm back home He was actually gifted some lobsters once, picking up a family in Maine...
