What's the best way to spend hundreds of millions of pounds?

I interviewed one of the UK's 100 richest people recently, worth over £500 million, and one thing he said to me was that he was looking for fun and interesting ways to spend a very large amount of money, possibly into the hundreds of millions. Something a little out of the ordinary, captivating, and sensational.





Clearly the man is bored, so I thought I'd put together a list for him. And I'd like to include named contributions from Yahoo Answers people, if I may.





Just to get the ball rolling:


1. The world's largest firework display here in London.


2. An elephant stampede down Regent Street. Followed by a procession of Noah's animals.


3. The building of a "Music for London" huge stereo system consisting of 500 speakers suspended 1000 feet above the ground, and 1000 feet apart, creating a ceiling of rock n' pop right across the west end that can be heard by everyone in the region.

Reply:well he could invest his money into a business or own something that he might enjoy. he can donate money to a charity and give more to his community by helping out homeless people etc. he should fly around the world and enjoy everything and help out other countries as well. Please advise him to put some money into the global warming foundation, we can really appreciate that. Maybe he can donate some of his belongings that he doesn't want anymore and throw a party at his house and have a get together type of thing. just whatever he does i hope he does it out of his heart and for a good reason. Money should never be wasted, especially cause average people like me, live off of pay check to pay check.
