I once had a dream where I come up with some market trading strategy that made me the richest person on earth, and I
decided to go to mars. I recall in the dream live tweeting me clowning around on the surface of Mars and how NASA was mad.

I say anything that yields a non-consumable asset is an investment. Things like cars would be considered consumable.

I'd use the heck out of those houses. Consume them multiple times a year.

How much are private islands going for these days?

Not that much, relatively speaking. Although you could spend up to $500M on one.

even with all that, you're barely denting $5B, it's a LOT of money

787-$200m, Gulfstream+$60m. Customize both would cost another $40m million.

So you reached $2.5, more than a dent, but still not close to all of it.
