Brewster's Millions problem
Anyone who's seen the movie Brewster's Millions has come up with their own way they'd blow gobs of money with nothing to show for it.
The challenge is how would you blow $100 million in just 30 days and have absolutely no assets whatsoever at the end of that time? I'll start posting my list in a few but I wanted to get the ball rolling.
Remember, you can't give it away, you must spend it. You must have receipts to prove the purchases and you can't have any assets at all when it's over, everything must be consumed without residual value in that 30 day timeframe.
go!

Gotta love the vintage guys, they want to do the whole thing on one deal. One of my favorite parts of that movie is when he buys a valuable collector stamp and uses it to mail a letter.
Let's see, Massachusetts has no road racing courses. I'd spend it by buying land and building a race track in Massachusetts to be owned and run by the municipality where it is located. I would enter into a deal with the city or town and the land owner and contractor and sign the money over to a trust to fund the whole project. (I would just want a non-transferable life-time right to work on my car in the paddock and use the track once a month. No monetary value as it can't be sold!)
