      Bad investment, you can’t resell them for nearly as much and you’ve contributed to the automobile industry that is lobbying hard against climate change policy

      I’d start buying up mid-sized companies and reorganizing them as worker co-ops. Doing some long-term good while not violating the terms of the contract

      If you’re just after the money, do as every billionaire looking to launder some money does and buy art.

      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.

      Buy $20 for $100 million. If you can “buy” nft’s then Idk why you can’t buy something with less value.

      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.

          yeah, usually closing time is just buffer time for people to get their affairs in order, move out, inspections, lawyer stuff, etc. If you offer straight up cash and pay a boatload to the lawyers to get the paperwork done up ASAP, you can close likely within a couple weeks

    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.

        The lead times on aircraft manufacturing is measured in years though. It’s so bad that in many cases airlines will lease aircraft from other airlines to the point that it’s all meaningless

            Honestly modern finance brings us to a point where you really have to ask what the criteria is to actually “spend” the money, given how many businesses that exist purely moving numbers around on spreadsheets and not actually doing anything tangible in the real world

      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.

    Can I do the lobbying thing to get a nice human rights or climate law passed or is 100M still too poor for that

      Great movie. In this case, at end of this one you can have assets and apparently also tell your friends what you’re up to.

    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.
