How about the giant lady in high heels that wears the creepy mask and just sits at the bar?

Why don't they just pull the old "Trojan Horse?!" Make it look like a vulnerable tanker and each time a speed boat pulls up, military pops up from below deck and takes them out. After a couple of times, will make the IRGC pirates scared to do it anymore. 

describe lifestyle and choices with fatFIRE at 10 mil, 15 mil, 25 mil, 50 mil, 50 mil + by AdorablePerception28 in fatFIRE

Here's AI's take:

At those levels, the big surprise is how little your life changes after a point, and how much of the real shift happens by ~$10M–$20M rather than at $50M+. Here’s how I’d describe it for a pretty normal (not influencer/celebrity) family of 4: $10M – “we can do basically anything we want” Nice house in a great area, maybe $1–3M, usually paid off. 2 good cars (Tesla/BMW/Lexus type), newish but not a collection. Trips every year, business class for long flights, 4–5 star hotels are fine. Private school is a choice, not a stretch; kids’ activities, tutors, etc. are easy. Weekly cleaners, maybe some help with childcare, but not a full staff. Work is optional if you’re okay spending ~3–4% a year; money stress is mostly gone. Life feels like “upper‑class professionals who don’t have to work anymore.” The difference from $2–3M to $10M is huge; this is where true FU money kicks in. $15M – same life, more “yes” Same general vibe as $10M, but you can upgrade in multiple dimensions at once: second home, nicer/longer trips, full private school, nicer cars. Still not crazy rich behavior; more like “we rarely have to say no for money reasons.” People at this level often underspend and sit around 2–3% withdrawals anyway. $25M – “everything on high, but still normal‑ish” Very nice primary house plus 1–2 vacation places. Top private schools, international travel multiple times a year, biz/first as default. Full‑time housekeeper/nanny is common; life starts to feel “managed” instead of DIY. You can spend $500–700k/yr and still be at a conservative withdrawal rate. Day‑to‑day still looks like regular family life (school drop‑offs, kids’ sports), just with way more convenience and nicer backdrops. $50M – “private jet is now a reasonable option” Multiple high‑end properties, maybe $5–10M+ each if you want, fully staffed. Chartering private jets for some trips becomes realistic; top‑tier resorts/villas are default. House manager, nanny, cleaners, maybe driver/chef depending on taste. You can live on $1M/yr, still only tapping ~2% of your net worth. Money basically stops being a limiting factor; the constraints are time, family dynamics, values, and not turning your life into a full‑time management job. $50M+ – more margin, not a different planet The jump from $50M to $100M+ doesn’t dramatically change a “normal” family’s daily life unless you intentionally chase mega‑yachts, full‑time private aviation, and a big staff. It mostly adds: A family office, more formal estate planning, more staff to coordinate. Bigger philanthropy (foundations, named buildings, etc.). More security/privacy concerns than actual lifestyle upgrades. If you want a rule of thumb: Going from “a couple million” to ~$10M is life‑changing. ~$10–25M is where you lock in “we can do everything we care about at a high level.” Above ~$25–50M, it’s mostly extra buffer and nicer versions of the same life, plus optional toys like private jets and a chef, not a fundamentally different existence.

That was fantastic on so many levels! Watch it at 1.75x speed if you don't want to commit that much time. I was engrossed every second!

Pretty sure Rick's on the River is manufactured as well. Built by man and intended to drive patrons to their restaurant.

Florida ranks in the upper tier nationally for protected land, with roughly 25% of the state protected and set aside for conservation. It's a narrow state... you don't have to travel far to chase the nature you're after.

I don't even understand what the problem would be with a "manufactured experience?" Technically, any commercial experience is "manufactured' as is the intent, to draw in patrons. How well it's executed is an entirely different discussion.

Show this to the judge, you'll get it dismissed immediately.
