If you had 44 billion dollars would it be possible to spend it all in exactly one year?

Answer 1

It depends on whether you mean could you make that much in purchases or could you consume it fully like in "Bruster's Millions." Forty four billion dollars is not a lot of money.....you can quite laughing or smirking now. It isn't. It is just a few dollars per person on the planet. Americans use less than that every month in Iraq. You could be done very quickly with that sum of money.

Now if you mean could you consume it and have nothing to show for it and get value for it, that would be hard. In terms of personal consumption, where you received value for your money, I doubt you could. The problem is that consumption for Americans seems to be optimal at about a $50,000 per year salary. Even flying daily around the world would spend millions, not billions.

There is also a weird problem that would be created by your spending. The only way to keep it from growing is to keep it in checking accounts, but you would probably create local market distortions by these seismic shifts of money. You might wreck havoc wherever you went, because the money wasn't earning interest.

Answer 2

$44 billion spent over 365 days of the year would mean on average spending nearly $121 million per day. Can one spend $121 million every single day for an entire year? Possibly, but it could actually be very hard.

Answer 3

Realistically it would be impossible to spend that much no matter how hard you try. Sure you could go to every automaker and buy up their inventory but that's not realistic.

Answer 4

Of course, just start buying islands and build on them.

Any amount of money can be spent with a little imagination.

Answer 5

yes just buy lots of real estate that should do it

Answer 6

Sure, but why would you?
