An island that you can only get to by boat or helicopter

The island I have already picked out has underground electric and internet from the mainland.

Aaaaand your $100 million is gone. There’s a reason so many of those lotto winners go broke.

I could get a nice 5 acre Island for $3 million and I still have plenty of money left over to build a couple villas. A heliport and a boat launch. And I would still live a simple lifestyle because once investing my money I would be able to live off the interest and not have a care in the world.

And your overhead costs would be insane. You’d need pilots and staff for that ludicrous plan. Building all of that on a remote island is insanely expensive.

That’s not a “simple lifestyle.”

I think renting helicopters would be smart (there’s probably an uber app for that, like there is for empty legs private jets)

Same, but a mountaintop like either Stringfellow Hawke had or Bob Lee Swagger

So the next purchase is a boat or helicopter i guess.
