re: How would you go about spending your Brewster's million?

Buy $30 million worth of lube on amazon

Nope. You'd then own at least $22 million worth of lube after 30 days, and that is an ASSet.

I wonder if the same loophole would apply to buying a chick's "virginity".

Rent a super yacht, post up in the Mediterranean, set up a website offering $1,000,000 for a chick's virginity, get 50-100 or so to agree, fly them in on a private jet. Knock out 2-5 a day. Be sure to stock up on tadalafil.

I feel like for $68 million I could convince Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar to reunite Uncle Tupelo to open for Reckless Kelly, the Old 97s, and then have Chris Pratt close it with an ode to Lil Sebastian.

I'd take the maximum amount that can be donated to charity and give it to the University of Alabama. I can't think of a bigger way to piss away some money than that. Place some bets on the Cleveland Browns. Then, I would rent out the most expensive penthouses in New York City and throw some 24/7 parties until the money runs out.

I would have a few million "Spanish Town Flamingos" made and flock lake Maurepas.


BTW the '85 version was actually a remake of a 1940s film.

I’d increase Ed Orgeron’s buyout to $20M.

I’d buy rare stamps and mail letters.

And rent the NY Yankees.

30 million during 1985 was a lot more than it is now. What would 30 million in '85 be today?

Drugs and women

The whole premise is flawed, but we overlook it because the film was so entertaining on a visceral level.

So, in today's terms, you would need to spend at a rate of just under $2.3 million per day. If you rent out a nice hotel for yourself and your "team" to work on a business plan for 30 days, but never actually output anything, you could probably do that fairly easily. If you had everyone sign contracts that expired right at the deadline, it would be difficult for the bad guys to justify there are any valuable assets left at the end, although it could be argued that you didn't get value for services, but "work on" doesn't equal "produce" on the business plan and I would lawyer my way into the jackpot (again, just shy of $700 million) with that plan.
