You cash it in and receive $10,000,000.
You have a limit of 1 year to spend the money.
You cannot give any to charity, friends or family.
At the end of the year, you must have got rid of it all.
If you succeed, you will be given the same again.

I'd buy 3 houses in central London. Then rent them, and live off the income they'd produce. The following year, with the next £10,000,000 (hope you don't mind I converted it to Sterling, the dollar just seems a bit dirty!) I'd be able to buy 2 houses in central London, and then only one the following year. Buy then my income from the rent will be exceeding the £10,000,000 a year anyway so I'd then start to buy properties on the edge of central London and other major UK cities, until after about 20 years, I'd own most of the British cities, then I'd slowly start to take over the whole country, and then the world!!!

Wow that is hard, I wouldn't succeed in spending it all because there are only two things I want to make my life complete and neither of them would take a quarter of that amount of money, guess because I can't give the rest away to the only people I can think of that would benefit from it, a much love charity I support, then I would have to walk away from the money and let someone else spend it instead.

I would invest in all kind of crazy business that I know would flop. If any succeeded I would give the shares away to tramps living on the street. I would buy rare stamps and actually use them to post letters (Brewster's Millions). I would buy a big house and furnish it with priceless antiques. I would not insure it and then set fire to it making sure I called the fire brigade to late. It would be easy to get rid of $10,000,000

Well, 10 million dollars isn't really that much. A nice ocean going yacht could easily cost that or more. A small collection of Aston Martins for my garage, a new house - I couldn't even afford the sort of house so that migh have to wait until next year.
Actually, what I suspect you meant to ask was slightly different. At the end of the year, you shouldn't have bought any material possessions. Then it's almost impossible.

I would invest it and use the interest/dividends to give to charity and my family (and maybe a friend or 2)...=)
Of course, I would buy myself some stuff too...
