Is that all you want? Well shit, why didn't you say so. How about you take you and your significant other first to India and see what it looks like to have a billion people living in poverty. Then come back here and amend that little bucket list of yours.
what kind of life would you prefer?

I would walk around town with supermodels draped all over me. I would stop, roll down the limo window, and ask people if they have some grey poupon. Light cigars with $100s, fill my swimming pool with champagne, hire an asswiper, give my dog a trust fund, change suits at noon because they get stale, drive a bugatti to the kid's ball game, fly my jet to the derby, complain loudly in nice restaurants that I am not getting the service I deserve... that's about it, pretty simple and low key for me.
I would put on a superhero suit and become the next Batman.
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold
Dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
All the wants you waste
All the things you've chased
Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger but there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the King
But the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing?
Where's your crown?

Some wise guys who have come to the same conclusions thorughout history. 'Bene vixit, qui bene latuit' [He lives well, who lives well hidden] is originally from Virgil.
While these folks were often talking about how to avoid being a target of the Church or some oppressive regime, perhaps we can take a lesson from them in how to be a playa without pain.
Instead of writing under a pseudonym or whatnot like these sages have done, how about creating a new identity to live out your high rolling celeb fantasy life?
I'm available in a consultative capacity to help any of you with $100M+ carry this out and to begin entourage formation forthwith.

Sorry, didn't mean to throw cold water on everyone's erection here.
Well I'm not going on a safari or anything dangerous like that. If I wanted to see poverty, I could just go down to Mexico or some California inner cities and slums.

If I went to India I would stick to tourist areas and guided tours, and probably look at the new Silicon Valley there and see how Microsoft and IBM have set up parks and see where all those jobs went to. I have a lot of Indian neighbors where I live, they could tell me where to go. Then off to China and Hong Kong and see where all the American jobs went. And take pictures of those massive factories. Macau, Monaco. ; Rent a private plane flying around the Swiss Alps and land at Salzburg. Make a trip and donation to the Catholic church in Rome.
