What one thing would you enjoy most about being a billionaire?
Travel, women, cars, etc...
For me it would be the world-class food that would never get old. Also traveling

This is a cliche answer but definitely traveling. I think many people's motivation for going into banking in the first place is to make a sh*t ton of money and then be able to travel and live like a prince. Nothing beats staying in a five star hotel in a beautiful location and eating the world-class cuisine.
Experiences > Material Objects IMO
Not answering to anyone is the dream tbh.
Agreed
@op
Fully agreed mate. If I was a billionaire I'd come in here and tell OP to sod it just for lols
Philanthropy
The freedom that comes with "F you" money.
Angel investing
I would still drive the same Honda I do now if I had $1B in worth or in liquidity t.b.h.
Access. You can travel, be financially free, eat whatever food you could eve want etc with far less than a billion dollars. But once you reach the level of a billionaire, your access to celebrities, politicians, CEOS, the top tier of models, entrepreneurs, and basically anyone that you could imagine opens up. You are in a position where your money has elevated you to a point where everyone wants to associate with you and you have the opportunity to meet and converse with some of the brightest and most interesting minds in the world. And also the choice of the most beautiful women in the world.
Having the time to do anything i want.
People don't realize that money does (indirectly) "buy time" in a sense. If you're a CEO/Owner you probably still "work" on a day to day basis, But technically you could do whatever the hell you wanted.
Travelling to Dubai for a 6-Star entertainment with the royals ? You'll be there in the next 24 hours.
Wanted to go on a yacht-meet on Monaco with your circle ? You would be there along with your entourage in under 24 hours.
Or it could be as simple as "I don't feel like working, imma stay at home and play video games/netflix all day".
You. Could. Do. That.
That's just invaluable imo
passive earnings in the hundreds of millions per year has to be the best fucking feeling in the world
Classism from the other side.
Travel!
Using my fortune to bankroll a mass movement of loyal followers dedicated to my cause who will help me seize power
Not talking to anyone I don't wanna talk to. I don't wanna make any calls, texts, nothing. I don't want anyone to even have my number. I want pre-screened emails I check once a week and I want a go-to dude I tell what to do and he does everything whenever I want. I don't even think I need anywhere near a billion to get there. Give me like 10 years.
Oh and a shitload of private land
Probably would enjoy buying and selling companies without my whole bankroll depending on their success.
Also, having a driver would be nice as well as getting a chef for lots of meals.
Boats and planes would be cool, but I would have reservations of exorbitant expenses when the money could technically be helping the poor.
I wonder who will be the first billionaire on WSO...
They're probably already here lurking.
Cliche as it may sound, but knowing that I can take care of anyone who's important to me. Obviously having the best of everything available to myself is amazing, but it's the ultimate measure of success in my opinion to be able to take care of your family/close friends as well. That's what I'm shooting for anyway.
