I would buy a small island in the Caribbean and call it a day.
You should host a music festival, call it fyre or something catchy. ;)
 
Mine wouldn't change, we've decided we like our neighborhood to much so we wouldn't move and I can't fit a bigger tank in my current house.

We're in the same boat, though I think I could go bigger than 220 somewhere in the house. What I would DEFINITELY do is outsource a bit of the cleaning.
 
I would set up an aquarium store with several large displays. Buy a couple CNC machines and produce my own designs in glass and acrylic. Freshwater planted and saltwater reef tanks only. Not a plastic plant in the store. Hire some experts at raising fish and corals and supply our store. Set up collection stations in a couple areas and hire someone like Walt Smith to run it and build up the local reefs.

There you go....but I don't play the lottery so there is that problem!
 
That actually a really hard question. Not from a money aspect, but from a workload aspect. Yeah I'd have enough money to hire someone to do everything, but half the fun of owning a tank is interacting with it and doing maintenence.
If I had to throw a number out there, I'd say I would purchase a plot of land in the country, and build a house around the tank, which would probably be somewhere in the 800 to 1,000 gallon area. In wall tank with a full fish room on the other side and a nice viewing area in front of it. No tv, no windows, just the tank.
 
I would hire a human to be my controller. Maybe not so much have someone live with me but I'd hire a few people to watch webcams of my tanks 24/7 so they could tell right away when something breaks.
I would also get a warehouse to hold every possible type of coral and start a large coral bank.
