I'm still not convinced you aren't trolling in your various "stuff" threads. People with money don't keep it by squandering it on junk, but assuming you're legit, I'd buy land and turn it into parks. What I'd really like to do is lock land away forever to troll developers, but nothing's forever. The right person with the right amount of money can pretty much do what they want :^/

I would consider doing a massive yard sale or something.
I tried that years ago. I quickly discovered it's pointless. I make enough per hour that I would be better off just spending my time working more than trying to sell stuff.

the point of a yardsale isn't the money, it's your own well-being by decluttering your life

if you really can't be bothered with running a sale, haul it out to a lot and make a free post on craigslist

also if buying stuff isn't doing it for you, do what the idle rich have been doing for ages: find some worthy cause/charity and donate to that

or get a bigger yacht

I vote another vacation home. But I think you also need another collecting hobby besides Legos and guns since those two are clearly not enough. May I suggest starting off with some gold tigers?

Give everything away and stop wasting your pathetically short life trying to figure out what piece of crap to buy next.

You should buy me a vacation house.

If I had the money I'd buy a house in the Caribbean.

Well I did find 700 acres in Idaho that intrigued me. The government actually pays you $40K a year to not farm that land! I thought it would be cool to build a getaway home there.

Yeah, I'd be all over that. I was talking with someone about that the other day - I'm well paid, but I'm still a huge jump away from being able to do things like buy land. I've got to figure out some way to get over to that side of the payroll.

Why don't you just buy Index funds and stop dumping all that money it on worthless junk?

Time to get off your ass and actually do something in your life other than work and collect shit -

You have hundred of guns, do you ever fire them, are you able to break them down, clean them and modify them yourself? If guns are your hobby then pay someone to teach you how to become a better shot by taking classes at the range.

Cars - you enjoy driving or just saying "look at me and my status symbol" Take them to track days, learn to be a better driver? Buy a Jeep - buy parts for Jeep - learn to work on jeep, make jeep a fun rock crawler? Buy the tools and the lift and have someone teach you how. How about buying a classic car you idolized as a child and make it a restoration project?

Take some classes - learn how to scuba-dive. Learn how to kiteboard, windsurf, or surf? Paraglide? Thought about getting a private pilots license and learning to fly?

Go on a real vacation and get out of high end hotels and concierge butlers. Go on Safari in Africa, go for a trek around NZ, hit up Peru & Chile in South America? Galapagos Islands? Corsica-Sardegna-Siciliy? Go hike the Dolomites in Italy - hire a guide!
Buy an ultralight backpacking kit and get to the back country - pack rafting in Utah. Take a 2-week hiking and rafting Grand Canyon river trip.

Buying more shit is pointless unless you do something with it.

Size is a detail. You could just as easily dismiss a McLaren for speed, and lack of grocery space.

Size is more than a detail. Asteroids, moons and planets are just balls of rock that are differentiated by size.
Shack/house/mansion
Island/Continent
path/road/parkway/superhighway
detroyer/cruiser/battleship
etc etc etc

That's a truck, not a car.

Give them to 50 poor people in some foreign land and hint that they should overthrow their govt. then sneak back home to the U.S. and watch the news.
