If money was no object, I would have a normal-looking, average-sized house in a place like Santa Monica or by the Presidio/Sea Cliff area in San Francisco. From the street it would fit with the appearance of the rest of the community. Honolulu would also be a cool place, but maybe too isolated?

Then on the inside I would do what the Russian oligarchs in London do: I'd dig out an underground space for a pool, entertaining area, have a below grade parking area, etc. All supported by a reinforced, seismically engineered structure with ventilation and fire suppression systems.

Something else that might be fun: Own a building with a commercial space on the ground floor and host pop-up shops and eateries.

Same with DFW, lots of billionaires in Ft Worth and Dallas stayed put. Then they do what they want.

I'd buy the top floor of one of the airport hotels at Schipol.
