A billion dollars and a Ferrari doesn't matter if all you have are bumpy torn up roads with potholes to drive on

  If they’ve got a billion dollars they also own their own track and can pay other drivers to lose races against them.

    Seriously, i think op doesn't understand how much a billion dollars actually is. With a billion dollars you could afford to repave literally every single road within 100 miles of your house, and still have about a billion dollars left

      Hell, you could invest a small fraction of that billion and your returns would allow you to keep those roads repaired long after you died.

  So, you’re statement makes sense if you remove the part about a billion dollars.

  Brother, with a billion dollars I’d buy a yacht in a desert.

  Have you seen undeveloped countries? The billionaires there are doing peachy.

  Still better than driving over potholes with an empty bank account and a Camry.

  The logical thing to do is get a private company to fix up those potholes for you with your wealth.

    It’s to turn all of the roads you care about into toll roads, except for you because you need to use the road for business reasons so that’s exempt.

  Billionaires don’t drive on the same roads as us peasants.

  At a certain price point cars are mundane and personal helicopter becomes primary mode of transportation. They don’t have to care about roads if they don’t use them. Like all things, Billionaires have different rules and use different services than the rest of us.

    This depends how far away where they want is. I feel like down the block is impractical for a heli.

      Down the block is “send someone” territory. Hell, with that money just about anything that you don’t have to, or want to, attend to personally is “send someone” territory

  Simple. You keep your Ferrari on your private island with your private racetrack, and keep your G Wagon at your house when you spend 2-3 weeks there a year.

  The Farrari part reminds me of an early (like S1) episode of Castle. “How does the Farrari drive?” “Like any other car in NYC traffic”
