Christmas Gift Ideas for when money is no object.

Dream a little. assume you have just won 50 million in the lottery 

Christmas Gift Ideas for when money is no object. 

My selection : ARKUP MOBILE OVERWATER VILLAS

Combining elements of a houseboat, luxury yacht, and oil rig, Arkup Mobile Overwater Villas propose a new solution for maritime living. Designed by Dutch architect Koen Olthuis, the 4,350 square-foot solar-powered inaugural model offers four bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and laundry room, outfitted with high-end finishes and floor-to-ceiling windows. Its unique hydraulic self-elevating system can lift it above the waves, keep you safe in a storm — it's designed to withstand a Category 4 hurricane — and transform the moving vessel into a stationary home, making it more permanent than a yacht yet far less constricting than a shoreline condo.

Duke Group Archipelago - USD$9,000,000

So what are you supposed to do while you send it in for cleaning and service?

Just schedule it for Movember?

Buy a large amount of land in South west qld. Buy a few super/hypercars, a long range jet and helicopter. Let mrs Smooth buy all the furniture, clothing, shoes etc to avoid complaints. 

Have the best build: Smooth mansion, a 2km long runway, race circuit, helipad and hangar. Sculpt a golf course on my own ptoperty with my spare time and some heavy machinery for optimal use of spare time. Have a team finish it off.

Hire a dozen CPP professionals, two pilots, a chef, two assistants, two housekeepers, two greenkeepers and a mechanic.

Relax and invest enough to keep it all going for at least 50 years. 

Only a huge US powerball jackpot could come close to covering that. Sorry Pres I added one zero!

Wake up from dream.

Fly everyone I know here in the US and every member on here I have talked with to Havana for 3 days of cigar and rum grabbing ($5,000 CUC each), then we would all hop a private jet or 3 to fly down to rent the entire Four Seasons in Bora Bora and smoke cigars and drink rum drinks for 10 days and then come home. As a remembrance of the "Legendary Excursion" we would all get a parting gift package containing a smoking jacket, a red Fez, a 50 Cab of Winnie's, (bet they'd make them!), and a few surprises.

The financials looks like this.

500 people at $1000 flight to Havana--$500,000...

Housing and food for 500 in Havana--$500,000

500 people at $5,000 each Rum and Cigar money--$2,500,000

Renting the entire Four Seasons Bora Bora for 10 days--$3,000,000.

Another $5,000 per person there on food, excursions etc--$2,500,000

3 chartered jets to Bora Bora--$2,100,000

Parting gifts--$1,000,000

Flying everyone home--$900,000

Total cost-$13 million....

Would then invest the other $37 million and be ok forever..

It sure is fun to dream!

     ** Well AFTER I tithe it first I'll buy me a little hatch (5br, 3ba) single story place with a doggy door and reasonably sized back yard, and a full room to be used as a humidor for the stash I will stock up on. Then have a live-in masseuse addicted to giving me head massages on call. I'll purchase the now discontinued Subaru Baja (Canary yellow), an egg shell white Ford Mustang for my brother (that's his dream car), and give my hard working younger sister a loooonng vacation from her many business ventures (soooo busy, but little financial reward in turn, but she's never say "die"). Then have a weekly get together arranged for my cigar-loving friends and relatives to enjoy UFC, Bellator, and Glory Kickboxing as available. Then invest the rest so it'll never run out.

This amazed me. 

people actually don't drink the whole bottle at once 

 

PLUM WINE PRESERVER

With the ability to open, chill, pour, and preserve, the Plum wine preserver combines all wine gadgets into one sleek package. Select your bottle and insert it into the device. Inside, a camera scans the label to identify the wine and automatically begin cooling to the ideal temperature. Whether it's a cork or metal cap, a double-cored needle punctures the top. As wine is released, argon gas fills the bottle to help prevent oxidation. A single canister can preserve up to 150 bottles, keeping each one fresh for up to 90 days so when you're ready, a perfect glass of wine is always waiting to be poured.

Hopefully it won't push the cork into the bottle when the bottle is lowered onto the needle! Or give you a glass with a lot of sediment..
