If you were forced to spend a million dollars in a hour???

Question

If someone gave you a million dollars and said if you don't spend, it in a hour I will shoot you. But, your not allowed to give it to people as gifts. 1. Is it possible to spend that much money in a little time? 2. What would you spend it on? 3. And would being shot play a factor at being a 'dumb' shopper??
This is only for fun so please be nice and smile and use your imagination!!!

Answer 1

It would be easy, if you could make a big purchase like a house. That's wouldn't be dumb shopping at least.

Answer 2

It is but it isn't as easy as one would think. I once had to spend 5 grand in a day, and I would have thought this would have been a dream, but it was a lot harder than I thought it would be (but I did have limitations on what I could spend it on). I barely made it.

But to me there are 2 easy ways to spend this, all of which would be good investments. And I'd want to use it as an investment, so I then could get it back and then do with it as I wanted, not just blow it! Besides my luck that would be the one time I get on a super hot streak at a casino and end up dead from winning lolol.

I'd either buy Gems (diamonds or precious stones), or gold. All could be bought in a store that wholesales, (or preferably the Jeweler's building in any major town), or phone call, and later easily sold. My first thought was real estate but that transaction couldn't be done in an hour legally. I also considered jewelry but you lose so much in value, because of the huge markup on jewelry. And I think the being shot part would make me a smart shopper and not take any risks!

I'd like to check this out and see if I'm right...so you bankrolling??!!!! hehehe

Answer 3

I guess it is possible to spend that much money in an hour because you can go to Costco or something and buy all the expensive things. I would buy computers and stereo systems because later I could sell it on Ebay. I guess being shot would not play a factor at being a 'dumb' shopper because it is a matter of life and death.

Answer 4

It's way too easy to spend a mere million in an hour. There are so many choices, gun at my head or not. Maybe I'd bribe the gun holder not to shoot me in return for half a million. May be I'd hire the gun holder to bump off some nasty people I know. Afterall, I might as well take the opportunity of of having contact with a hitman. Maybe I'd hire him or her to rob a bank and make us both even richer. So many choices and so little time.

Answer 5

I would go straight to Tiffany (or some other high end jeweler) and buy a few hundred thousand worth of jewelry. Then I'd move to another jeweler and do the same thing until I'd spent the whole million.

This way I can re-sell the jewery later and spend/invest the money as I choose (and according to my own timeline).

Answer 6

i would buy a bunch of cars at a dealership...i think that would be about the fastest way to go about it. all that those car dealer guys want is your money. the paperwork could probably be done with and paid for in under an hour if you were that eager..hell they would just do the paperwork for you if you bought that many cars in that little time... then of course when i was done with it i would sell pretty much every single car because i'm not really into them, and have a decent amount of money left over to put away and save. :D

Answer 7

Okay, so first thing is firts, a bullet proof vest, right? ;)

Secondly i would buy a car (or two) That could possibly come up to a million :) then i could sell them later and take my time with the money!

Maybe a house, but maybe id already be shot by the time the paper work gets sorted?

Answer 8

Buy 1 million dollars worth of stock

Answer 9

Could i spend it yeah i sure could i would buy a million dollar house. And i wouldn't worry about being shot because the shooter probably forgot to load the gun.

Answer 10

I would make a tax-deductible donation (not a "gift") to Modest Needs. Heck, I'd probably end up donating whatever the deduction would've been from the original donation at the beginning of the next fiscal year.

Answer 11

Talk about deja vu, I wrote a paper on this for English 103. But, I had 24 hrs. Lucky for me I have loads of options, houses, cars, trips heck I'll come back in debt. I did in my paper. I went by helicopter to NYC shopped til I dropped and flew back. I owed 11, 390.00 on a diamond ring. Oops. Lord, you could invest that much in one minute.
