Easy, buy up a bunch of land for conservation
Buy $20 for $100 million. If you can "buy" nft's then Idk why you can't buy something with less value.
The $20 bill has a unique serial number just like the nft.
It's even better because no one else can have that same bill at the same time.
There are some recent $1 notes where the same serial was issued twice.

I'll tell you why: because there's nothing with less value than an nft.

Property can take a while to close
offer to title in under 30 days is on the quick side.
Of course, you could probably close very fast if you offered 100M cash on a 10M property...
If you're buying vacant land and paying cash, you can close really quickly as there's nothing in need of inspection, and loan processing times aren't a factor... I have a buddy who just purchased 100+ acres of vacant land from a logging company. He paid cash and was able to close in just a few weeks.

In "Bewster's Millions" he also had to have nothing of value at the end.
So yes that is a good method for this formula of the question.
What do you know, my brother just opened up an art auction house.
Buy a few houses? How long does that take if You have cash?
It's taking the premise of Brewster's Millions, which required that he not only spend the money, but that he has to have nothing left at the end, including assets. So, buying a house doesn't work because you still own the house.
Obviously there are still plenty of ways to drop millions on stuff without having anything to show for it. Hell, it's probably easier now than ever before. Just become a whale for a mobile game and you're there.
Excuse me, but my waifu has plenty of assets!
Just become a whale for a mobile game and you’re there.
I'd rather literally burn all that cash
Well if taking the rules literally, that's allowed too!
As long as you resist whatever urge you might have to throw out the ashes before you get the billion, you're not throwing them away!
I wanna say they specifically called out property destruction as being against the rules. And overpaying as well iirc, so you can't offer someone millions for a sandwich that you then eat.
Plus, if we're being pedantic, burning the money isn't spending it, which is what he is supposed to do.
The movie also has the advantage of having a contract that presumably covers any other loopholes the audience thinks of, but which they don’t explicitly address in the script. Once you take it out of a movie and start treating it like a challenge to be solved, you can no longer hide behind some unseen fine print.

Not in this meme, which is what I'm referring to.
And overpaying as well
So that rules out spending them in the US and several other countries..
In under-regulated capitalism, prices aren't set at what's fair, they're at the maximum that they can get away with without losing too many sales/clients.
That's by definition overpaying from the perspective of the buyer/client.
Plus, if we're being pedantic
We are indeed. Carry on, good sir/madam/cuttlefish
burning the money isn't spending it, which is what he is supposed to do.
Damn, you got me there. Good point 😁
The movie
Again, I was referring to the meme only, not the movie that inspired the premise
also has the advantage of having a contract that presumably covers any other loopholes the audience thinks of
That's a mountain sized presumption..

Good. Genies have had it too good for too long 😛

Easy! Just spend the month in a US hospital without insurance
Hopefully the billion will cover the rest of the bill

No knowledge of the financial stuff, but maybe: put most of it in a variety of ETFs, hire a financial advisor and an accountant to help you navigate the system and the taxes, then cash out and donate it.
You spend it without giving it away. Then you give it away. Some countries give you a lot of it back at tax time if you donate to registered charities so you'll even get something for it. I dunno, I'm a poor so maybe it wouldn't work out, but it would be cool.
Ever heard of this game called "Star Citizen"?
from 714 millions to 814 millions in one day. nice :D
Surely that will be enough for them to finally finish the game right? COPIUM
I don't think that money is the issue any more, time and scope would be the issue. Lets see if 4.0 actually arrives this year
Create a serverless function on AWS that calls a serverless function on Azure, which calls a serverless function on gcp which calls a serverless function on Oracle cloud which loops it back to AWS.
Now stick CloudFlare in between each step of that.

Sent this to my friend at AWS and he said it was already all-over their internal Memes Slack channel. At least their engineers and project managers are in on the joke. 😁
Crash the dollar by entering the whole amount in the stock market? Or are stocks also considered gambling?
I would buy so many windmill permits with that money.
I could blow 100M monthly on AWS. Probably take me the first month to spin it all up, easy from there.
I would've thought that this could be quite simple.
- A few flights in a private jet, or long-term purchasing for the whole month to take you wherever you want.
- Several $250k-500k cars in each location to take you wherever you want
- A private show from a famous band can set you back a few million. Do this each day.
- Go to Vegas and get in a pissing content with some rich cunt where you send expensive drinks to each others table, until one folds. That'll be a few million each night.
- Trump spent a ton on sex, so high class hookers?
- A few ads across multiple providers to promote something
- Prize fights can be set up quickly, and have the best in combat sports ready in 30 days. Offer $1m per division for the winner, and do it across maybe 4-5 sports, pay for TV and streaming, set up a venue, and you'll probably blow through it all.
I would spend all 100M to get ads put up all over the country of people who have wronged me and my loved ones. They'll just be like really awful pictures of them with really petty captions like "doesn't help carry suitcases", "laughed at a disabled person", "sneezed too loud that one time". That'll show them.
Single use luxury cars is my favorite one

Would donations count as gifting? There are so many FOSS projects that could use the cash inflow.
If it doesn't count, well, prepare for a deluge of hentai to show up in a month.

Can I buy 100MM in gold?
Surely the answer to this is to buy really short term options. Bad case is you lose all the money and get a billion. Good case is that you make even more money.

Does it need to be net spending, or can I just buy and sell things really fast?
Can I do the lobbying thing to get a nice human rights or climate law passed or is 100M still too poor for that
YOU DIDN'T SAY AZURE, RACKSPACE, OR OVH!
