If you were proper rich, what stupid things would you buy?

Would move to Japan and get a nice penthouse suite kinda place in Tokyo, one in Osaka and some rural country home. I'd get a personal Japanese tutor and live my best life. And buy a Nissan GT-R.
Cabin in the woods with all the amenities

I'd purchase a mall and convert it into a massive recreational sports park, separating skateboarders and BMX riders.
All major industries and then hand down the ownership to the workers.

Easy...a really nice, totally extra mansion/estate/compound. Easily 20 million. Huge grounds, a mini forest, legit wings, 12 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms. Gated, private security. If I had the money, I'd build it myself of course. Need an architectural firm, construction people, overseers to manage the process and make sure all the permits are good. Lots of solar panels and windmills on the grounds (away from the views though). Maybe I'd be able to rely most on non polluting forms of energy?
Private chefs.
First class tickets (I don't like private jets) to all the super nice and tasty restaurants in the world.
Boutique doctors on call.
White shoe law firm on retainer.
A really nice greenhouse on grounds. Well, two or three of them, with different weather sets so I could grow a variety of foods.
A private militia and a private firefighting crew.
A small army to take care of the house and grounds.
Vicuna all the things.
Bespoke clothing. Maybe not a personal designer JUST for myself, but rather a close line to someone who would design and make clothes.
A private beach island outfitted with some bungalows, running water, electricity. Preferably in tropical waters, like maybe Hawaii's climate. Elimination of all mosquitos and biting bugs/animals on said island. A healthy artificial reef (if necessary) and a thriving tropical sea life population.
Lots of education. No need to get degrees, but would probably try and take any class I wanted at a decent state school. UCI, UCLA, UCB, UCSD. Audit them if necessary, and just take the classes I wanted for the hell of it.
An army of private tutors for myself and my children.
one good earthquake...

I've always said to myself that if I was mega rich I'd build some climate change bunker out in rural New Zealand, stocked with so much fucking rice and beans and other food that should hopefully last. And then, near that bunker, I'd have a sick evil villain-esk mansion perked over a cliff.
Like this shit:
Can you imagine?

If I was a gazillion air I'd buy twitter just to troll Donald Trump and ban him, fuck with his shit.
Buy out the pinball hall of fame and move it to Toronto.
I will also be getting a big multi floor building made to house them all in with decent spacing around each table. Still would let the place be public, I'm not evil. :)

I've always told my wife that if we won a huge jackpot, I'd open a barcade just for fun. All the games would be free and sell drinks at cost.
The Knicks and the Jets and try my best to deliver championships to my tortured teams.
I'd also buy Sega and make a comeback to hardware with a system that bridges the gap between PS5/XSX and Switch.

Something shitty I'd like to do is buy a bunch of gold in an MMO and crash a certain market of items in-game. Just to see how far I can go. Make everything extremely cheap, etc.
Yeah barcades are always fun but of the few local ones I wish the machines had somewhat better upkeep on them. :( There use to be a pinball cafe here in toronto that really took care of their machines but sadly couldn't make the business work as a cafe. =/
Honestly I would find a small neighborhood and just start upgrading houses with all sorts of energy efficient ways, solar panels, insulations, efficient appliances and see how efficient I could make a small subdivision
I would spend SO much money hooking my favorite underground/defunct bands up with expensive studio time just so they could make amazing albums no one would buy but me.
Metal Gear Solid 6.
The band gets back together to create another game.
Only I get to play it tho.

Acres of forestry, a big house and gardens on that acreage and enough people to help manage it.
Edit: + as in op, this will be in New Zealand.

I'd start several companies and present myself as a tech visionary, paving the way towards a glorious future for humanity.
I'd buy whatever politicians I needed to buy to make this happen, construct factories with massive taxpayer subsidies or virtually tax-free, and produce iterative products that look really cool while little dudes on the internet sing my praises and brag about their stock. I'd present myself as a Visionary dragging a recalcitrant humanity into the future and my products as the necessary stepping stones to deliver them the stars.
At the end of all of this, in 25 years or so, I would invite prominent politicians, statesmen, and celebrities to a massive multi-day celebration of humanity, arts, and science before I reveal the culmination of my life's work to the world:
I'd decloak a giant laser, hit a button on my phone, and carve my name on the Moon.
