The Rich Have No Imagination

OK, this is what I want for Father's Day.

Don't you just hate that the super rich have no imagination? Sure, if I were rich as Bill Gates, I'd do all of the charitable good works, build a castle of a house, but then I'd take a few BILLION and have some real fun. Do you know that you could have a space shuttle built for only $4.5 B? And the launch is less than $200 million each time.

I'm actually kicking around a novel idea based on this. It would be in the format of a biography of just such a super rich man - someone with a real imagination. There's a subject that Alfred Bester could do justice too.
