I'm just insane, and very rich, so I'm giving everyone $1,000,000!

BUT! There's a catch.

You have to spend $500,000 of it in one week, and the rest is to be spent before the end of the month (Let's just say I gave you the money on the first day of the month..). Also, you can't buy more than one of each item, and you can't give the money to charity, nor donate it to any one or any cause.

So, whatcha going to buy that first week? And how will you spend the rest of the money?

none of the above!

yeah umm... i'd probably just erm invest nn stuff

partay?

Alcohol, hangover cures and hospital bills.

Rent every copy of Brewster's millions in existence

Buy gold and other precious metals

Lamborghini good sir, I would buy a Lamborghini. And an Enzo Ferrari. Not to mention a gold bar.

Buy gold and other precious metals

What he said. Just one big ball of gold.

buy an island (or just any other very large piece of land) and invest it in stuff so that i can live on my island of the profits of my investments, i'd never have to work again. (i guess, i don't really know what you can do with $ 1 000 000)

then i'd give a lot of parties on my island and also donate to charity what i don't need to survive/give parties/travel/study

maybe i could buy sealand? are they still trying to sell that?

Hmm...I wonder how many video games I could get....

I would spend it on a decent house for my family and I to live in. We're currently living in a studio and it's cramped with an 8 month old baby and 2 cats. I would buy that house for sale on Lake Braddock on the lake front and then I would put the rest in a mutual fund for our kids to go to college.

Be terribly boring and invest half of it.

Actually, fuck that. I'm buying a boat, fitting with it guns, getting enough of my friends together, and becoming real Buccaneers. Anybody else is? We could be the NSG pirates!

A Lamborghini Murciélago LP640, that's roughly 500k down the tubes there. Figure the government will take atleast 200k in taxes, then there's the cost of insuring a car like that for a 26 year old male. I'd be broke in a week with those stipulations.

I think I'll just buy Poland.

A house. A decent house around here will cost me around 1 million dollars :) Simple and easy.

A house, a car, furniture, and a bakery franchise.

Id spend the money to kick america out of the middle east!!

Okay. First $500000, I would spend on buying a massive collection of military uniforms and medals (era WW2 up to Modern day) from various nations armies, then I would buy 1 of each kind of Soviet AFV and a Hind gunship. The next $500000 I contribute towards renovating some decrepit airfield into a museum along with similiarly minded rich military geeks to store these monstrous collections.

Then we put on a great big military show every year, and rake up millions! Millions I say! Ah bliss...

I'd try to build the first vertical windtunnel in Scotland in my back garden (even though I don't know how much they cost). Anything left over goes on strippers and booze (in the windtunnel)

101 brazilian prostitutes... pay for them all to come over here, then set up a brothel the likes have never seen before. invite all my mates round for the week and put them up in the dorchester hotel, then at the end of the week send the girls back to brazil, their pockets lined with money. and the remaining $1499.00 will buy a round the world ticket for me!

all gone.... that was easy!! lol:fluffle:

I'll buy the time of somebody else on this forum for $1,000,000 (on the condition that they in turn reciprocate).

Problem solved.

hookers...lots and lots of hookers;)

Buy a nice 1/2 million home in my area then use the rest of it to furnish the place and buy the best damn computer out there. :p

So, whatcha going to buy that first week? And how will you spend the rest of the money?

Buy a Pacific island, a luxury yacht to get there, and deep sea fishing gear.

I'd pay off college loans, buy a house somewhere in Massachusetts, move myself in, and then buy myself a top-of-the-line Bosendorfer concert grand piano as the centerpiece for the house. Then I would probably stare at said piano in pure joy for several days.

After that, I might buy myself some books and video games and go to grad school. :)

(Oh, and of course, I'd pay all my friends' airfare/gas to come visit me in my new house, and buy them all fabulous presents. That goes without saying.)

Probably I'd pay some Aussie employer a fair few grand to agree to sponsor me and claim that I'm actually working for them. No more going back to the UK for me. Then probably a million+ (Aussie) dollar house that I could rent out while living somewhere a feckload cheaper five minutes down the road. I'd probable spend my time drinking and conspiring, and if I got really bored (or liver disease) I'd eventually sell the house and set up some sort of partially worker-run enterprise.

Either way. Yay life of idleness in a country that sucks a bit less than home!

...seriously, gimme the money.

$500,000? I don't know... Gum?!?! :rolleyes::p

$500,000 don't get you a lot these days... I mean, an appartment at the Plaza (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Plaza_hotel.jpg/300px-Plaza_hotel.jpg) will cost you up to $50 million...

So I guess I would get myself a new Koeningsegg (http://www.koenigsegg.se/thecars/index.asp) due to lack of imagination.

Well, I'd first buy a bunch of lottery tickets, then I'd buy a whole lot full of cool 1970s muscle/sports cars.

Since I'd probably have money left over, I'd go down town and give every homeless person I could find 500 dollars.

Then I'd... uh, I don't know, buy gas for my lot of old gas guzzling cars.

Then as the rest of the money goes, I'd buy Google stock.

500,000 dollars worth of Google stock!!

I think the "one week" catch eliminates buying property. I can't imagine that you can take possession of an already-existing house or an island in just one week. I'm no real estate expert, but I figure there's enough paperwork to make that process take longer than one week.

That said, for the one-week $500k chunk, I'd buy $50,000 memberships at 100 public radio and TV stations across the nation. It wouldn't be a donation because I'd get a different coffee mug from each station (which would also keep me from violating the "no more than one of any item", unless Ruffy was being a real nit-picker).

However, it's Ruffy's rules, so if PBS/NPR memberships are out, I'd buy naming rights for seats in every performing arts center under construction in the nation.

If that's still too close to donation, I'd wander the nation looking for kids selling candy or cookies for their bands and choirs to go on tour, and buy out every last one of them. I'd buy a mobile home with the first $500k and then tour the country with the rest, buying band candy, choir lollipops, whatever they've got.

I'd then charge people a dime a head to see the Great Candy Hoard once the month was over.

Blackjack and hookers..

Thousands and thousands of blowjobs.

Blackjack and hookers..

Thousands and thousands of blowjobs.

$500,000 worth of blow jobs in a week? Sounds painful

A whole fucking CASTLE! PWNAGE :D:D:D:D

I may be over-estimating the gap between US and Aussie dollars nowadays. I was kinda hoping to hand over more than its worth and get the essentials fast-tracked.
Or get screwed, but hey, nothing ventured...

Hmm, if a house is not possible because of bureaucracy then..


Stocks and obligations!

The other 500K which I can spent in the rest of the month... Hmm, what about my own pub :D (the pub doesn't have to open within said month).

I'll buy a house for the first half and a huge diamond with the other.

I'd buy 'Me'. I'd write a check for $1,000,000 to 'me' for the purpose of improving my life. of course I'd write me a reciept to show the transaction of the purchace of 'me'. and since there is only one 'Me'. I'll be free to then put the money into saving and invest it with more care.

Easy, I'd start off, by paying off all my bills, and those of my immediate family...parents, brother, in-laws..and buying a house.

That would probably take the first half million.

Then over the course of the next month, I would buy 1 share if stock in a variety of companies, since you won't let me buy more than 1 of any given item. (I hate that rule)

Come the end of the month, if you allowed me to keep the money, I was sell off some of the stock, and purchase a more balanced portfolio.

A whole fucking CASTLE! PWNAGE :D:D:D:D

I thought that at first too but good luck with finding a castle worth a mere million dollars.

First week I buy Oson Island. http://www.privateislandsonline.com/tundajeisland.htm

As for the rest of the money I buy a nice yacht http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatDetails.jsp?currency=USD&units=Feet&currencyid=100&boat_id=1518049&checked_boats=1518049&back=%2Fcore%2Flisting%2Fcache%2FsearchResults.jsp%3FtoPrice%3D200000%26uom%3D126%26currency%3DUSD%2 6units%3DFeet%26duom%3D126%26sm%3D3%26wuom%3D126%26luom%3D126%26currencyid%3D100%26currencyid%3D100% 26fromPrice%3D200000%26ps%3D20%26ps%3D20%26slim%3Dquick%26prc%3D72%26so%3D0%26n%3D2%253A-1%253A24160%253A42065%253A72&searchtype= and pay to have a house and some cabanas built on the island. After all the money is spent, I use the yacht to ferry tourists to the island to rent the cabanas. Then I live off the rental money.

I spend the whole million on a 2 bedroom condo.

Real estate is expensive around here.

Wow. Spending 500,000 the first week?

I'd buy a "big" tv, thats a few grand down.
I'd buy every video game console, hand held, and video game I could buy. Thats a few grand.
I'd buy a nice car. $30-$50k.
I'd offer a realestate agent a $100,000 tip if they could find and complete the paperwork on a house for me to buy within the $400k range.

I'd live off of $20k and deposit the rest, and work my butt off to deposit gnough money in my savings be able to retire and live off of the interest of my savings account.

I'd by a Cessna Caravan.

I'd sell my soul to myself for the 1 million.

Take that, Ruffy.:D

If you do can I get free jump tickets?

While it's at my home DZ, sure.

Man, that would rock. Especially since I couldn't give it to charity, so I wouldn't actually feel bad. << :rolleyes:

I'd spend $600,000 on a house, give $100,000 to my dad to reimburse him for supporting me for many years, give $50,000 each to my sister and my mom, give $150,000 to my bf so he can pay off his debts and use the rest for building his career, and keep $50,000 for myself to go towards things like a VW beetle or a little shop.

Honey, read the rules.

$1 million is not that much money all in all, I could spend it in a few hours.

$1 million is not that much money all in all, I could spend it in a few hours.Hours? I can do it in minutes, perhaps seconds.

Honey, read the rules.Yeah, I just noticed. I didn't figure giving it to relatives and friends counted as "donation". :rolleyes:

But alright, in that case I'll simply buy stocks with the money and hand them out to the family after the month is over. Or pay off all their bills. Or pay for house renovations, cars, or whatever comes up.

So there.

Accepted.

I'd pay David Tennant to star in Doctor Who for years on end.

$250,000 home, pay off my college Loans and by the nicest damn funiture I could get; then some kickass computer stuff. I'd start a Krispy Kreme or Starbucks franchise. The rest I would give to an investor and have him buy me 1 share (since we are only allowed to buy 1 of each thing) of stock in as many companies as he could get it until it was all spent.

does paying off debt and loans etc. count as "buying"

anyway I could spend $1, 000, 000 pretty Easy

To an actual company, yes. But not if you owe your friends/family.

i expect this money to be here within the next few days

I'd buy WYTYG, after all everyone has their price!

I'm not talking sexually here. It'd just be cool to own someone! :D

I'd hold out for the cash in pounds.

A million dollars (half a million pounds) doesn't get you squat these days...

I spend it by turning it into war bonds, which i throw into a cayman bank's lockbox until the time at which it becomes worth more than it originally was, and then i stick it all into an inaccessable account that has a very high interest rate, id take up a minimum wage job and dump all but what i need to survive into the account. i'd hold up for 10-15 years and then unlock the account, and collect the interest each year, and move into a nicer country, perhaps ... ireland? maybe new zealand.

Well, in pounds sterling, it's only £506,390.39 - which is enough for one nice house for myself in Edinburgh, and with the money left over...

TOY SOLDIERS AND SCENERY AND UNIFORMS FOR MY RE-ENACTMENT AND AND AND... *explodes*

First thing I'd buy would be a huge big house. Old, preferably, in the countryside, with a lovely big garden.
And I'd spend the rest of the money furnishing it and maybe getting myself a nice car. And a bike.
And a horse for my BF, cause he just said he wants a horsey.

I would buy a cheap Picasso, or relatively expensive painting, then after the month sell it to get the money back again. Or wait until I get into financial difficulty and sell it then.

If that fails, buy a Stradivarius violin, and sell that instead.

Just a million? Pshaw. The first $500,000 would quickly go to pay off my mortgage and assorted other debts. The other $500,000 would buy me a decent house on 140 acres somewhere warm.

Not that hard to spend $1,000,000.

and you can say hello to my new home at the fly-in community (an airport thathas houses on it's property instead of hangers, towers etc.) with my new airplane. :D The rest of the money I'd probably invest.

Easy. I'ld buy a WWII German Tank, all the firearms I've ever wanted, a horse (for the wife), a building to store them in, and as much acreage as I could w/ whatever is left.

Buy a MASSIVE ball of lead. Let's see how big...

1,000,000 dollars, huh?

Lead sells for...

Roughly 96 cents per pound.

So roughly 1,000,000 pounds of lead.

A million pounds of lead would be roughly 39,999,327 centimeters, or roughly 400 kilometers.

Then I don't really know what I would do with it.

Those terms are a little limiting in one way but vague enough to be easily circumvented.

The first week I will purchase a 500,000 dollar six month CD.
The next week I will purchase a 300,000 dollar one year CD.
The next week I will purchase a 200,000 dollar five year CD.

I will then cash my CDs as they come to term and the spend the money as I see fit, as fast as I see fit on who I see fit.
Having made all the purchses in the alotted amount of time and having not purchased duplicate items.

Can I buy a $1 million treasury bond?

I haven't the slightest clue what I'd do with a million dollars, if I had to spend it so quickly.

Maybe take a trip around the world, or something.

Can I buy a $1 million treasury bond?

No.

I'd spend it all on gold and diamonds, motherfucker.

I'll make interest my bitch.

I definitely would. *glowers*

I definitely would. *glowers*
:eek:
hey, At least "I" asked. :(

Oh, I need one more thing to buy.

A bouncy ball.

I'm gonna buy Sealand!

And, a really nice car, house, and television. Also, a lifetime supply of high quality toilet paper.

:eek:

Where I live, $250,000 won't even buy you a mobile home. T'is what happens when you live in a boom town in a province that doesn't want to import Mexicans for relief purposes.

I would pay off my car loan, pay all my grad school payment plan installments in advance through to when I graduate in May, and buy a small house for myself and a nice home (small house, condo, whatever) for my sister if I had enough left over.

Easy.

thats the first payment of the Apache i'll get

I use 10,000 to pay off the debt im in right now. Next I buy a roundtrip ticket to Europe, starting the next day and returning the end of the month. Then I make hotel reservations for hotels all across Europe and buy a train pass. Any of the money that still needs to be spent by the end of the week I buy as songs off of ITunes.

The remaining half, (assuming there is a remaining half, I have no idea how much such an excersion would cost on last minute notice) I would use to lease out a nice-ish apartment for the next 6 months (or however long I could afford) starting from when I return from Europe. If I have anything left, I spend that on my month tour of Europe, buying gifts for family and friends, eating out to incredible meals, and yes, trying to seduce hot European boys.

You know how to do it, my dear.

I'd buy a house in San Francisco...


the million would make a nice down payment.

A biggass giant villa with alot of land for my whole family.
Healthcare service for my Grandma.
Buy a hummer-limousine
Buy the nastiest and biggest entertainment system there is.
" " PC there is
Buy the land around the Scouts building.
Buy jamie to be my personal coock.

That should go pretty near :)

My sugar daddy! Where where you when I wanted to buy a boat?

I want a boat big enough to plant a nice garden on top of. I had my eye on this one:





The Melbourne:

http://www.navy.gov.au/spc/history/images/melbourne-rimpac.jpg

It went for a mere $1.4 million in 1985 to a shipbreaker. I'm sure the Aus govt would have knocked the .4 off for the dignity of not having it scrapped.

But you're too slow with the cash. Bah.

yanks were shocked that we can land on that

Not big enough for you? :p

Nuclear engines would be better of course (y'know running costs) but I think the Nimitz might be out of Ruffy's price range ...

and you can't take it to new zealand

:eek:

Can't you go own someone else? :(

Hehehe NO! Get back in your cage!:p

I'm just insane, and very rich, so I'm giving everyone $1,000,000!

BUT! There's a catch.

You have to spend $500,000 of it in one week, and the rest is to be spent before the end of the month (Let's just say I gave you the money on the first day of the month..). Also, you can't buy more than one of each item, and you can't give the money to charity, nor donate it to any one or any cause.

So, whatcha going to buy that first week? And how will you spend the rest of the money?

well now that's a real problem, as i don't know of land going through escarow that quickly. a month maybe, but definately not a week.

now there's plenty of things that cost more then 500k$ that might be purchasable in less then a weeks time. as long as they don't actualy have to be delivered in that time fraime. like railway locomotives or heavy manufacturing equipment. well if i could get away with not having it delivered untill the land deal goes through. otherwise i'd just have to give divvie it up between my favorite charities; certain websites and non-comercial radio stations, though i'd really rather start a commune with a nice little chunk of land if that time barrier wasn't in the way.

if it were more like a couple of months for the first 500k$ and a year or two for the remainder, that would make a lot more useful sense.

i can't see throwing it away on a bunch of useless crap to try and impress anyone. although i suppose i could easily spend 500k$ at someplace like fry's or on e-bay. i think anyone who did though, the federalies would want to know where they got it from.

I'd fly to the former USSR to hire a dozen ex-Spetsnaz mercenaries and buy ten kilograms of weapons-grade uranium.
