But why would I want 5 Lambos? Some other combination would be more interesting.

$1.6 million would buy quite an inventory of coolness.
M5 for client lunches
GT-R
F430 Scuderia for Supercarness
Dodge Ram 3500 Dually for those tow days
1969 1/2 Road Runner Six Pack Convertible Mutant RestoRod (they never made a convertible six pack car, but I want one).
1963 Plymouth Savoy Max Wedge car because I always wanted one
1970 AAR Cuda TransAm clone for track days
Fiskar for those Green Days
The Berry's Evo (for a price, I'm sure its for sale).
A couple of Shifter karts for fun family kart track days
Alpina B7 for family road trips
A tuner modded black X5 for AWD duty
The rest spent on building a garage mahal

Conservationists worried about overfishing on the Pacific island of Kiribati persuaded fishermen to pick coconuts instead. The strategy backfired: Coconut oil production increased, but so did fishing. It turns out, fishermen who earned more money in coconut agriculture had more leisure time — which they spent fishing.

"This type of an occupation selects for a certain type of personality, and that kind of personality will not be happy in many other occupations other than fishing," Pollnac says. As a result, attempts to get fishermen to do something else — even something that pays better — often end in failure.
