Make us preferred on Google

How many people dream of winning the lotto, and then immediately dream of how they will spend their millions, if not billions, of dollars?

Of course, common ideas that pop into people's heads should they become astonishingly wealthy are putting a swimming pool in their backyard, buying a bigger house, and maybe even buying multiple houses.


There are some people, however, whose idea of how they would spend an inordinate amount of wealth is a bit more, shall we say, unusual.

Some might even call them "unhinged".

Redditor insecureslug was eager to hear the absolute wildest things people would do should they have money to burn, leading them to ask:

"What is the most unhinged thing you would do if extremely wealthy?"

Sweet (And Salty) Revenge!

"For a whole year i would buy out every single tub of Top The Tater dip from a 100 mile radius of a grocery store I used to work at, all because I once had a sh*tty customer throw an absolute fit at me because we were out of it and she apparently needed to buy 2 tubs of it every week for parties that she has been hosting for years."

"She tried to file a complaint because I, as a cashier, had no way of finding out and letting her know when we would get more in, and my suggestion of her calling in the morning (it was like 10 pm) to speak with the manager of the dairy department was me 'being too lazy to do my job'."

"And every single time she came in after that when I was working, she would scoff and roll her eyes at me."

"Sorry for everyone else who wants to buy it, but it's important that I personally f*ck with this b*tch."- BeholdOurMachines

Bad Behavior Can't Go Unnoticed

"Unhinged?"

"I'd hire people to collect DNA samples of gum stuck in public places like tables and sidewalks."

"Then send them a certified letter saying I have a DNA copy of them from gum left at the specific location just to fuck with them."- kyle_lunar

Too Soon?

" Travel to the bottom of the ocean in a glorified water heater maneuvered by a video game controller, obviously."

"Maybe stick 4 other rich guys in there with me?"-drulaps

"Human shaped demons."- machwulf

This Is Actually A Legal Profession... Look It Up...

"Pay someone to big spoon me to sleep."- ih8thisplanet

It's Really Not Attractive To Gloat...

"I would donate so much money to cities in exchange to have name on EVERYTHING schools, libraries, streets, parks."

"All funded and maintained by me and in my name."

"Even the city itself would rename to my name."

"Everything else in the city would remain the same- besides the recent upgrades to all things that were recently managed by the city."

"Win win."- Bigbluebananas

Accessibility Matters

"Commission a double-decker articulated bus."

"And make it wheelchair accessible."

"So there would be a phone booth-sized elevator car or platform lift to the second level."

"The bottom of the trailing section would be fitted out as a garage for a wheelchair-accessible Kei van."

"Nobody has made a bus that was both double-decked and bendy since the Neoplan JumboCruiser in the 70s."

"Two surviving examples got turned into tour buses for musicians."

"One got turned into an RV."

"My youngest son has a genetic disease that is terminal. He has 10 or 15 years left."

"I'd love to take him on an epic road trip back and forth across the continent."

"He's in a wheelchair full time now."

"And for some destinations, like the giant redwoods of California or the disability water park in Texas, he'll need alternative chairs."

"Tracked for nature preserves, stainless steel manual ones for water parks."

"Because of the need for transfer hoists, he needs a bathroom FAR bigger than you normally see in RVs as well."

"If I could pull this off, it'd be the biggest road-legal RV in North America and AFAIK, the only road-legal vehicle with an elevator in the world."- Barbarian_818

Millions For Me, Billions For Others...

How wealthy? Billions or millions?

"Millions: Spontaneous comic book store and vintage video game investment."

"Just go in and buy out huge parts of the store’s collection. Randomly decide I want to 100% collect a series of comics."

“'I need the entire run of New Warriors…what do you have?'”

"Same with video games."

“'Yes, I want every copy of Double Dragon you have in stock'.”

"Billions: Drive through random neighborhoods, identify people who own their home and actually live in."

"Secretly pay off their mortgage."

"Never tell them who did it."- grammar_oligarch

Billion Dollar Joke...

"If I had unlimited cash, I’d pay artists, engineers, and scientists to create completely nonsensical yet elaborate 'artifacts' that look like they’re from an advanced ancient civilization."

"Then, I’d secretly bury them in random archaeological sites around the world and wait for people to 'discover' them."

"Imagine historians losing their minds over a perfectly preserved 'computer' from 5,000 years ago or a beautifully crafted stone tablet that 'predicts' future events with eerie accuracy."

"I’d be the world’s most dedicated, anonymous prankster, rewriting history books from the shadows just for my own entertainment."- golfgrant

"Buy a 18-hole golf course and turn it into a gigantic miniature golf course that anyone can play."- Independent_Break351

Yeah... Not Cool...

"I’d go through all the hassle with the police, insurance, possibly courts."

"I don’t drive like an a**hole, so I would never intentionally cause a collision."

"Just let collisions where I wouldn’t be at fault happen."

"It would probably teach a lot of sh*tty drivers a good lesson."- Harrynx

Quite The Hill To Die On...

"I have a plan."

"There are two large hills in my hometown that are a few hundred feet in relief above the rest of the city and separated by a mile or so of distance."

"I’d buy both those hills (this would involve buying out all the low-income housing on top of one of the hills and relocating a senior care home)."

"I’d restrict access to the tops by building a low ceiling tunnel that will only fit my Lambo."

"Or similarly squat car."

"I’d give one hill to my friend and I’d take the other one, and have large imposing mansions built on them."

"I’d install large trebuches on each hill and my bud and I would launch projectiles at each others house from time to time just for fun."- South_Dakota_Boy
