So when I win tonight, not if, when... My first action as a newly minted near-billionaire will be to sponsor NOVA on PBS. My section action will be to interview famous yacht builders to start recreation of the most beautiful boat of the 1930s.

This is the QED designed by Antonio Fokker of airplane design fame. This boat lasted two short years when it sank in New York on the Hudson river during a poor couple’s honeymoon. No one died, but what an omen!

Either way, a design like this deserves to sail again and I plan to make it happen

Good idea with NOVA, but I think the Koch bros got that covered. For me personally, I’d buy one of these and build a track on top so I can drift while drifting.

I would build a mansion on it and put a bunch of road making machines on the front so I can drive my house anywhere. Or giant gold suit

As I keep telling everyone I know - when you win, buy me a P1.

One of my friends pointed out that he could buy all of the P1s, 918s, and TheFerraris ever made. And have >300 million left.

I have to say, as an investment, I would buy the P1. As an emotional purchase, I would get the 918

The NOVA idea is awesome. I think I would try and fund some auto shop classes and wood shop classes at local schools.

And I would get into warbird restoration. I have some skills and it would be a pity to just shut them off because I have a big bank account. Mmm, B-25.

The Mitchell is on my list too. Several out there to buy as well.

The most efficient means of turning gasoline into noise.
