If You Became A Billionaire What Wacky Luxury Would You Buy?

Valleywag have a great picture of the cable car that Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison has installed at his Malibu mansion so that he doesn’t have to climb the hill back up to his mansion after a dip in his pool.

Normally I find the tastes of many rich people to be awful, particularly those featured on shows like MTV Cribs. However, I’m quite impressed by Larry’s feature which I think is great for when he starts to get older.  Just think of it as a million dollar stairlift.

What feature would you love to add to your house if you suddenly became a dot-com billionaire, that only a billionaire could afford?

   I agree that this particular luxury is really quite useful I know I’d prefer to be delivered to the comfort of my door after swimming instead ofclimbing steep hills.
   Hmm… I would renovate the house, go travelling… perhaps arrange to get a bus stop installed near the hosue so I don’t have to travel that far. Sponsor more bus routes… wait… that’s not what I’d do? But as a person who uses buses alot…

   I remember now! I’d buy myself an Island and equip it with all the modern luxuries - the Island itself would have great beachs and great weather (of course)

   Man Utd were the best team over the course of the season, and that’s what historians will say in future years!
