you are Paul Allen and you build a $12 million working replica of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine.

I must fortify my inner hatred for *all* people, focus it, and lash out at those who would dare and unknowingly stand in my way.
Don't mind the Chicken Littles, they panic at everything.
Except they ignore what's really dangerous.
The second cat, is a dog. I'm deeply disappointed.
You know you have too much money when...

"But Paulie, baby, want to know why your net worth is only a third that of fellow Microsoftie Bill Gates? Dumbass purchases like this."
Didn't Bill give most of his money away? or is that a long term plan

Because it's burning a hole in his pocket.

God, I soooooooooooo deserve to have Bill's or Paul's or Larry's money, I could buy bigger and bigger yachts, fund museums, break glass sculptures, wear expensive suits, all that stuff they do...
Seems a reasonable purchase for him. Who doesn't want a submarine? I mean really. And if you can afford one you should be allowed to chose the color.

Personal submarines are in vogue, as an accessory to a mega yacht.
But the amount of toys is getting silly, there are now "Shadow Ships", basically a toy hauler that follows the mothership around. So you can have a lot more stuff without cluttering up the decks of your yacht.

My mega yacht has two submarine bays and two helicopter pads and place for bat boat. Top that!

Well, it's not REALLY the Beatle's Yellow Submarine, it's a REAL Yellow Submarine. I bet he rents it out to Dubai tourists with even more money than HE has and makes a fortune.

When my children were toddlers, I instantly recognized who the Blue Meanies were.

If I had all that money, I'd hire someone to make a piano, but instead of hitting those silly metal strings, have the mechanism use mallets to hit a marimba.
That would be sweet.

yeah! my 100k salary making me one of the richest 1% on the planet is just right. the luxury of clean water, a 5 day work week, access to health care and education, a personal car, cable tv, and a vacation in florida every year is just right but making enough to have a sub that's too much.
f'ing babies.
f'ing babies.

For me, the most luxurious thing about wealth is not the toys. It is separation from other people. You are never thrust into close contact with the anyone, and can live in a nice large bubble of personal space and polite silence. Sure, sometimes we go to New York or Tokyo and ride the subway and it is a novelty.

You can never have too much money.
