Become an Audax Organiser, then put on the most luxurious 600km ever.

Make a YouTube video of all the confused AUKs timing out because the bus shelters beds were so luxurious, the choice of food so extensive and the quality so good, and the Control helpers being Sirens to delight the eye.
Prepare for trouble. You might be surprised how many ride reports feature complaints about '... controllers didn't wake me up on time ... '

I'd pay for a no-expense-spared funeral for Margaret Thatcher.  
The best of everything and extremely tastefully done.

Whether she was actually dead or not is irrelevant.  I've paid for a big hole in the ground and she's damn well going into it.

Naturally, I'd make sure a priest filled the lead-lined coffin with garlic and crucifixes.  You can't be too careful as a stake thru the place where a heart would normally be isn't always fatal.

I was thinking of having a rather specially designed coffin lid, something like this
