Wrong!

$50m house in London
$50m house in Sydney
$50m house in New York
$50m house in Toyko
$50m house in Paris
$50m house in Milan
$50m house in Geneva (on the lake!)

...so that's $350m.

A set of cars for each city will take you to $20m or so, just for the basics.

A jet is $100m, a mega yacht another $250m (granted, paid in installments over the course of the vessel's build). A decent wine collection for your 7 houses will be another $20m.

So now we're up to $730m without even blinking an eye or trying very hard at all.

Add top end stereo gear and artwork for each house and you're up to $830m without doing anything to extravagent like jewllery etc.

Add another $100m for a vast collection of rare cars and you're up to $930m. The remaining $70m will cover running expenses for the cars, yacht, plane and staff.

It's very easy to spend a billion, if you know how.
