How would you do the Brewster's Millions challenge?

[The Unconquered Sun]

in 1985 Richard Pryor had a Movie where the premise was he had to spend 30 million dollars in 30 days. But there was a lot of strings attached. Just out of curiosity I was wondering how you the good people of FAN would complete it. Basically you're going to have to waste a million dollars a day.
Here are the rules;
1. You CAN NOT accumulate wealth or goods. At the ends of the 30 days you can't have anything that you didn't already own.
2. You can not buy stuff and then destroy it.
3. Also you can not give the money away, so no buying expensive or lavish gifts for other people.
4. You can hire people to work for you, but you have to get real valve for their services.
5. You can give away 5% to charity and lose 5% to gambling.
6. You can not tell anybody what you're doing.
If you're not sure here is the set up for the rules.Warning, language, NSFW
So if you can do all of this you would win 300 million. If you can't, you get nothing. There is a "wimp" clause, you can take 1 million dollars instead.
So what would you do?

Give 5% to charity and spend the rest on trips to various theme parks (I wonder how much a trip to Tokyo Disneyland would cost, that would likely chop a bunch off the 30 million, not to mention the plane ride as well)

[Spiderf 4]

I'd buy TNA.

[y4j1981]

Its been a long time since I have seen the movie, awesome movie btw.

But couldn't you just take the money buy something like an NFL team or something then just sell the team for like a $1 and use that buck to buy a soda? Thus money is gone.

I would just keep the 30 million. You can have the 300 Million. Where does it say I have to give it back? I aint gonna.

But if I am playing this properly.

1. I gamble and loose 5% and give 5% to charity.
2. Buy 30 local businesses for 1 million each and sell them back for 100k each. Rinse and repeat till I have about 100k left. Invest in a small town theatre company. Put on a show in a week. When it flops I will have about 10k left.

Like Brewster, Rent as much as I can. Show up in a week with all the money gone.

[Hit Girl]

I'd take the million dollars.

Pay 30 singers, actors, athletes 1 million each to perform in their respective field.

Going further from this one:

Put on a gigantic free music festival and spare no expense on who or what plays/is seen.

Simple and effective: You're not giving expensive or lavish gifts to anyone, it's just a free concert. You're hiring people and getting fair value for their services, so you're not wasting it.

what would you do with the other $29,999,980?

[Push R Truth]

I'd run the most batshit crazy wrestling federation for 30 days.

I'd have Sid vs Hogan in a Punjabi Prison Match for an Arby's Beef and Cheddar in front of 7 people in the junkyard behind TNA headquarters. And that would just be the opening throw away match on Day 6.

[bibboid]

Lease a private jet and crew for a month.
Fly to Orlando.
Buy all-access VIP tickets to all the parks.
Disney, Universal, Sea World, everything.
Private backstage tours of everything.
Presidential suites in five star hotels.
Spend a night in Cinderella's Castle.

Get a list of the best water parks and roller coasters in the world.
Fly to each of those cities and get VIP passes for each of oar parks too.

Ok , Now I need to know the rest of that card

[Evil Homer]

Id fail hard at the challenge . I would just take the 30 mil and disappear forever

[Red Impact]

Fun fact, with inflation, you'd have to spend about $88 million in today's money, which would be even harder.

I'm sure the NFL owners have some mechanism that would kibosh the second sale (or tie it up in litigation for a long time) to not damage the value of their team.

Spend the $30 million on lawyers who get the original will invalidated and have the entire $300 million awarded to me anyways.

5% to charity

5% gambling loses

70% live it up --- throw wild parties, stay at expensive hotels, over seas trips

20% have people work for me
