Powerball

People always ponder the thought of what the wealthy life would bring...
Are you imaging yachts, brunch in Monaco, and a service staff of a hundred or more just patiently waiting on you hand and foot? If so, you must have fancied yourself to a Powerball ticket!
If you have not already heard, the Powerball winnings are up to over a billion dollars. Yes, I did just say a billion old sport! Just to put that into perspective, the future winner would double the net worth of boxing's money man Floyd Mayweather. According to Celebrity Net Worth, my good friend Floyd is worth an estimated $400 million. If you have had the pleasure of seeing how Money May lives, you would be more than excited to win this amount of cash!

I have my tickets handy for the life changing announcement. My very good friends always ask me what I would do if I won the Powerball. Some have even suggested that I would spend it all in a matter of weeks. I would argue that point and I am personally insulted that they think it would take me that long! I am indeed kidding, kind of...

Let us get down to it, shall we? First thing I would do bright and early in the morning is travel to Greenwich Connecticut to purchase my new Rolls Royce Phantom in pristine white. This has always been my most favorite luxury automobile. From there, I would drive into lovey Westchester where I would visit Tourneau Luxury Watches and pick up the new Rolex President in 18 karat gold. Did I mention the diamonds in the face of the Rolex? That's cause I shouldn't have to...

My main purchase would be to buy a large property. On this property I would build my own town. Picture this, a beautiful gated community of large estates occupied by all of my good friends and family! Everyone showered with only the finest things that money can buy. There would be a great pool in the center of town where fountains would spray a rich mixture of pool water and Cristal. I am also thinking a few statues of myself throughout the private gated community. Did I say a few? I meant over a thousand or so... One statue portraying each moment of genuine happiness!

Best of luck tonight to all the players who wish upon a star.

Mansion Life

You want to live fancy? Live in a big mansion? Party in France? Well according to Ms. Spears, you better work!

When I hear someone speak of old money, I envision a grand mansion with a Rolls Royce parked in the driveway. Maybe tennis courts are available on the property where the butler serves brandy on a silver tray? Today's times have replaced that image with the younger generation's hunger for success. The new money suit and tie generation, where new construction homes are flashy and tennis courts have been replaced with billiard rooms for entertaining. You may notice a Mercedes instead of a Rolls in the driveway and a glass of chilled champagne over brandy. Do not give up on horseback riding and croquet just yet. Younger generations have not changed the ritzy lifestyle, they just modified it...

According to the New York Daily News, Kim Kardashian recently sold her five bedroom 4,000 square foot mansion in Beverly Hills to build a custom home with her husband Kanye West. Kim's younger sister Kylie has followed suit and purchased a similar sized property in Calabasas. She spent a reported $2.7 million on the 4,900 square foot beauty. The Kardashian empire has grown in both money and fame over the past few years and their lifestyle reflects it! Miami resident hip hop artists Drake and Rick Ross have also been mansion hopping over the years. Complex.com reports that back in 2012, Drake moved from Miami to California to live in a $9 million dollar 7,000 square foot mansion built for a young money king. In 2013, rapper Rick Ross allowed cameras from MTV to film his luxurious Miami Estate. Rick Ross showed off his 4,700 square foot mansion on MTV Cribs. The estate showcased seven bedrooms and four bathrooms complete with a gorgeous Miami view.

If you would care to live like Tony Montana, his Scarface mansion is available for $30 thousand a month. You can rent the 10,000 square foot piece of cinematic history but you should know that the tiger does not come with the property! One major factor that separates a large house from a mansion is the decor. Homeplans.com offers mansion plans for 5,000 square feet and up. Whether you prefer a classic look or a more modern decor like Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian's 5,199 square foot Colonial-style abode, hiring an interior decorator is always a good idea. So cheers to all my readers who fancy my articles! May all your champagne wishes and caviar dreams come true. See you in the great room next to the piano and self portrait!
