  • Rich Paras spending ideas

    Posted by MagaCarter on May 2, 2020 at 1:15 am

    Investing in stocks

    Buying more expensive cars/ boats

    having a LOT of full-time servants
    – upstairs and downstairs maids,
    -a full-time chef,
    -a housekeeper,
    -footmen,
    -a housekeeper(?),
    -butler
    -Nanny
    – if having (farming) tenants- a Estate Manager
    -body guard

    From Mooseman170 on the Discord- starting a business? Like not a restaurant or store or something, but a publishing company or an accounting firm. Something where they’d have a few employees and operate like a rabbit hole mostly, but with some customizability in things like company name, function, marketing, employees, etc. mostly cosmetic stuff, but just a little fun way to spend and hopefully make money

    Private schools

    a ton of vacation homes in various part of the “world”

    It’d be nice if they could invest in stock markets not just rich paras but all paras, I like the idea of starting companies it’d be nice to have the ability to start corporations in towns 🙂

    I like these ideas. I would also like business chance cards. They would pop up and you’d have to make a decision and outcomes could be positive or negative. You could gain/lose money, reputation points, employees, etc. If your company is at the brink of bankruptcy, you can take on a partner/investor or you can put the company up for sale.

    I would also like to see options for rich Paras to help the less fortunate by being charitable. Organize and host fundraising events, have shelters, help provide better housing for low income families, hire people to work for them in exchange for food, open an orphanage etc etc.

      That would be a good idea not just making a business from scratch but maybe being able to buy multiple existing businesses too

      Ah yes! Imagine creating an 18th century styled world with estates and playing as a lord or lady, a queen, a king, princes and princesses! That would be a dream for me.

    I was thinking I’d love if there were some really over the top spending options for some of the regular services.

    Like parafolk with regular incomes order their shopping (groceries) online from the local supermarket…..
    but super rich parafolk can use a special shopping service and have exotic and organic produce flown to them from all over the paraworld (and it arrives by helicopter instead of a delivery van)

    It’s probably not realistic but I think it would be fun to just have some really over the top possibilities. Also just something daft like being able to have a money bath or filling their swimming pools with money.

    as much as I do like those ideas- I also like to have versions of them which aren’t reliable on technology.
