So, castle or farm? You can't just handwave this question away so easily! Would you hire people to take care of the castle or farm for you? I hear both are quite a lot of work! How exactly would you be spending your time, apart from making music?

excellent question, by f-you money I mean serious f-you money (we're daydreaming, after all), so my vision is a literal stone castle as well as a nice farm. ideally these would be maintainable just by myself so maybe a modest fort-like castle and tiny homestead farm. not necessarily a disney castle and hundreds of acres of corn.
aside from the farm likely taking up all my time (for however long i'm able to sustain that), pursue all my interests: exercise, language, reading, writing, watching movies/tv, taking photos, making films, lifting weights, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, cooking/baking, biking, playing video games, drawing, spending time with loved ones, studying, the list is endless.
Yea I think the farm would just take up all your time, so no time left for the castle or any other of your interests.
But who will be cleaning toilets in the castle?

I have no problem cleaning my toilet; in fact, I quite enjoy cleaning. And with f-you money I'll make sure my castle has a modern toilet, or in the very worst case some kind of septic tank, rather than the medieval cesspit style toilet.
I'm not that commenter, but if I won the lottery, like the big one, I'd buy a castle, gild one toilet, and Instagram the shit out of it, pun intended. Then I will never have to work again because I'll become an Influencer.
