$500 million dollar space station built in 1981, I plan to never come back. How long do I live? And how?

The premise is simple: I'm a billionaire, it's 1981, and I'm sick of the world. I have the money, influence, and technology to do it, and I want to build a space station in orbit. Leave Earth, never come back, and live there for the rest of my life. <br><br>Given the technology available, where do I build it, how do I build it, how do I keep it supplied and maintained, and how long do I live there? How does it change me, and how does it change the world? What do I see, and what is the view like?<br><br>I plan to never come back.
