I would definitely drop the 90K on one of these. I've always wanted a really nice over under. So why not buy one that costs as much as a sports car if I was worth millions?

Beretta SO 10

I would buy or build an oil rig near the green canyon. I would have a means of driving my boats to store under the rig with lifts. There would be a 36 center console and an express. I would have the ability to dive my rig and get back on easily. I would fly my chopper out there for the weekend and then head home.

Ted Turner has done it right...

and I prefer the English game guns to the Italian, though at that price point you are spltting hairs on quality.

I would buy enough land to push me off the top of the Forbes list.

Other than that, I wouldn't get too ridiculous.

I'd have a "camp" in Venice, Toledo Bend, Lake Fork, Falcon Lake, Colorado, Wyoming.

I would like a some land and a lodge, but for the most point I would just pay for access to hunt and fish locations...

The ideas are limitless.

Couldn't even fathom the idea.

A dude bought one of the hawaiian islands a month or so ago.

I'd buy that.

Then a bunch of Montana.

A couple thousand acres with an airstrip, some water (lakes, river, swamps), 24/7 armed patrol to keep people off my property, a brewery, and a small replica of the Ryman Auditorium so when I fly in Merle, Willie, and Hank for dinner they feel at home.

I'd probably get an 870 super mag

ETA: Honestly, I wouldn't go too crazy, I'd try to buy up some land around where we hunt in Simsboro because I like the area and it has sentimental value. I'd have a camp in Grand Isle and probably some land out in Texas.

I think between all of that, I could stay occupied
