I have wondered how others might spend the money to accomplish the same goals. I mean, here are some ideas:
Travel in style - entire cruise line rented for you and a hired entourage to be at sea for 25 days. This gets rid of the money. You can spend it all and get a receipt day one. You are also at sea and not at risk to purchase anything.
Any other ideas?

Does starting a TV show count as an asset? B/c I'd come up to a TV exec with an idea for a reality show: MILLION$! (And yes, that's a dollar sign at the end.) Twelve people get a million dollars each, and we see what they do with it. (Twelve episodes with production values of $1.5 million each = $18 million total, plus $1 million per contestant = $12 million, grand total $30 million.) Am I breaking the rules or anything?
shareHate to break it to you TCShan, but you might. In the movie Brewster couldn't hold the job of mayor due to it technically being an "asset". The question is, is a tv show an asset? It could be. Plus, since Brewster wasn't allowed to give the money away, would he violate the rules if he "gave" the money to the contestants?

I would clone myself several times so then there's 7 of me spending the cash!
shareIt'd be far easier to spend the money now than in the 80's.
In this celebrity obsessed culture, you could simply hire top acts (50 cent, Michael, Eagles, whoever), and blow through $500 k, to a few million no sweat in one night.
-You could buy a ticket into space for $20 million. Send celebrities into space with you!
-Go on one of the many fantasy vacations you read about (in Robb Reports annual Christmas Guide).
-Throw a lavish party on a rented Boeing Business Jet or 767
-Buy ads in magazines.
Simple: i'd buy a big newspaper ad that says a VIP is a Nazi, get sued and settle out of court for the remaining money i have. It could take possibly less than a week.
shareI like the concert idea. Make one big huge assed concert happen. Super short notice. All the top bands. I'd have like the Stones and Metallica and a bunch of other awesome ones. Free drinks, free food, free beer, and everyone gets to go hang out with the band, and the band has to sign like 500 autographs (I'm sure for a million bucks for one show they could do that) and expenses would go way up and then the money is gone.

I would rent boats and houses and organize lots of party until i i've no more money.
shareI just had this discussion with my mother after watching this movie. I would take her, my step-father, brother, sister-in-law & best friend with me on a world wide month long vacation. First class plane tickets, five-star resort reservations. Everything top-notch all the way... that would do it... a different city every few days. Would be fabulous!

i would have loads and loads of female porn stars come up to my hoitel room and stay there for 30 days
shareid get sued... and settle for, oh i dont know... 30 million?
shareInstead of paying everyone 5-10k per week, I'd hire 5 people for 6mil or 10 ppl for 3mil, etc. for the month.
shareI'd probably do some renovations to my families house, maybe but them some DVDs of the movies they have taped. Rent a whole team of crappy baseball players.
shareI'd spend most of it buying stock options that expire before the end of the 30 days and not exercise them... they'd be valuable assets right up until after expiration when they are worthless. Goodbye $30,000,000.
Apart from that, so far as the election idea goes, I'd spend it lobbying rather then running for an election. I'd love to see lower taxes etc. TV ad time is mighty expensive.

shareHire the best hitman money could buy to whack someone rich, famous and powerful....then make sure you are caught, and then use the money to bribe all the right people, as well as the best lawyers so you can go free, and pay protection money as well so none of that rich and powerful man's people come after you.
shareSounds like an utterly stupid idea... Why would you waste 30 million on killing someone like brittany spears or something? And then you are on the run for the rest of your life and have the death of an innocent on your mind...
