If it's education, money can buy that, If it's love, money can buy that (at least pretend love, but how would you know?): So if your the richest person in the world, what do you have to look forward to or work towards when you can have anything?

and would you buy the biggest house (or houses) you could find or would you just buy a comfortable size house?

to those of you that say love, you know there are people who pretend to love others for their money and even have kids with them, so you could never really know if it was true, could you?

also keep in mind I said money can buy EDUCATION, not intelligence.....

Respect and Life... these are the two things that money cannot buy.

If I were the richest person in the world, I would want to invest it all. Taking out only what is gained from that, I would use it to help educate the female population as best I could.
One may wonder why only the girls and the women. Because women are the ones who raise both girls and boys during the most formidable years .. their childhood.
A wise woman would likely raise a wise child, thus, both male and female would be better in the long run.
So, what more do I want? To leave a legacy of a wiser world. And perhaps, a better one.

Love you cannot buy. And pretend love - you _always_ know, somewhere deep inside, even if you pretend it is real, even if you pretend you don't know... that it is false. It is possible to get real love, but that is something money cannot buy. You have to work for that one, just like anybody else.
Also, the very rich have to be restricted by security, they have very little real privacy (and I would sorely greive for that), and they tend to worry about getting poorer, so they cannot afford what they have become used to. You have to work for keeping up your money (and that's a lot of work).
And then, as already pointed out, you could want things that you have irretrievably lost, just as everybody else - your grandmother; a childhood friend you got estranged from in the process of getting rich... etc.

I can think of a few things money can't buy
1) happiness
2) peace
3) God
4) true love (although I believe having some money would increase your chances of meeting a good, quality person..no one wants to be with someone that they have to take care of financially)
5) intelligence (IQ is natural, no matter HOW much money you spend on an education..either you have the ability to learn or you don't)
6) wisdom (comes with age)
7) immortality

You can always work toward self improvement as no one is perfect. You can always look forward to going to that class you are pursuing to further your education. Look forward to spending time with your family, taking that next trip, getting on yahoo answers and answering that next question. Money cannot buy love and you could pretend that your income is average when you meet new people and hang out with the ones that are OK with that.

I suppose if I were the richest person in the world, I would be busy helping others and trying to keep myself safe from others. I would buy a large estate that had everything I needed. Being so rich, I wouldn't have anonymity and would need privacy.

You can't buy TRUE love
You can't buy peace
You can't buy friends
You can't buy hapiness
You can be the richest person in the world but feel like you need these things ^
Being rich dosen't prevent you from having any bad sickness. People can also hang out with you just because they want to steal your money.

Well, because you're the richest person in the world does not necessarily mean that you are happy. I would really rather be happy than rich. I would want to be surrounded by people that like me, not for my money, but for who I am. I guess it depends on your definition of happiness.

You could buy most anything. But is love real when they love you for just that. You will have alot of friends but none real only people who would use you for your money & if you were to ever run out of money no one would be there. So money isn't everything it just helps alittle. But it can't buy everything .

I would want real love. The kind that money can't buy. I would want a happy family. The kind that money can't buy. Sure money can buy things that can make a family happier in the moment, but in the end, are they truelly happy? I would think not.
