Private Submarines
A recent article from CNN talks about uber-rich people buying submarines:
In a world of $100-million mega yachts, luxury submarines attract the ultra rich for one of two reasons. Some buyers are just looking for another realm they can conquer with their checkbooks. But many are genuine undersea enthusiasts.
If I had a billion dollars, I’d probably get a private submarine too. After setting up schools, hospitals and buying a region of the Philippines, I’d go diving in the Marianas Trench and look for the fabled 80-foot squids and other sea monsters! People might have conquered Mt Everest and outer space, so I’ll just be the first person to touchdown at the deepest part of the world.
What about you? How would you spend your billion dollars?
