If I was filthy rich, I'd do most of the things blue suggests just for the ego. Donate to charities and open source projects - gets your name on the sponsored list. Get shoutouts from artists. Invest in ridiculous infrastructure projects just because they're big and fun to watch being built. Commission a huge yacht so mine's bigger no matter who pulls up next to me.

I don't see how I could even have time for the kiddy diddling. I'd be busy flying from one project to another. How's my new skyscraper in NYC doing? Okay, cool, now my crew has finished building a new F1-worthy racetrack in Estonia, I'm flying there. In two days I'll fly to the southern hemisphere to catch some sun.

I would, however, have an absolutely abhorrent CO2 output if I was a billionaire. But then again they all do.
