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?

Have the baseball game with the NY Yankees.
Rent a 747, decked out like a luxury party jet with all the trimmings ie food, accomidations, to take me to some of the highest class resorts around the world with some 150 of my friends. Of course, luxury limos to take us from airport to resort and back again. I would hire Blackwater to do provide security with 6 heavily armed SUVs with 4 guys apiece.
Hire a crash space program to get me into space for at least 1 orbit and back down safely.
Gamble and Charity for 10%.
Spend 10% of it on charity and gambling.
Rent out the largest and most luxurious jet plane available. Rent a pilot.
With the remainder, I'd hire servants, chauffeurs and people to help me.
Then with the remainder of the remainder I'd buy food and necessities making sure all of it is eaten.

The thing with renting celebs/luxurious places is that you'd probably not be able to get them within the 30 days, with today's economy you could blow $30 Million fairly easy, the amount would have to be $75-$100 Million before you'd have to deal with the problems Monty had to.
shareRent Trump Tower for the day and host a free seminar.

this was a project for a class a my school. I know some people were trying to rent a tiger but it didn't work out too well...
but i'd probably rent a whole bunch of stuff like moon bounces and stuff and throw a huge party and have really good bands there and stuff
I don't think it is possible to spend $30 in 30 days.. If i had the opportunity. i will start my business i.e pump money into it (is this an assest? in the film it was against the rules)travel to my dream destinations (including space), appear in a movie and just go wild:)
shareDid they ever say if it was ok to buy assets and sell them for less than what you paid for them? I'd buy a bunch of new cars, drive them off the lot and immediately sell them for their instantly depreciated value.
I'd also invest in some of the most patently ridiculous ideas known to man, like human cloning or reanimating the dead. And I'd buy the most outrageous, worthless stuff imaginable, like a UFO abduction insurance policy, then I'd cancel it and pay whatever penalty they charge. In fact I'd probably also sign contracts for a bunch of outrageous services that have early termination charges and then cancel early and pay the charges.
I'd agree to finance the worst movie ever made that I'd be guaranteed to lose money on. I'd pull a Homer Simpson and invest in pumpkin futures leading up to Halloween, and then I'd wait too long to sell them and lose most of the money.
Top things I'd want to do -
1 - Restaurants. Rent an hour at a different 5-star restaurant, for every meal, every day for 30 days. Go nuts ordering multiple courses, champagne, etc.
2 - Theme parks. Rent different theme parks on different days. Pay the annoying costumed characters to take the day off.
3 - Shakira! Private concert / party every day. I'd also give her a ton of money for her next album - insanely expensive music videos, etc., just 'cause I love her. Of course, this would require that I get NO royalties out of the deal. Maybe I could even get her to record a CD, just for me, of all my favorite songs by other artists. Stop laughing at me!!!
That would blow through a huge chunk of it, if not all. I'd also want to do lots of fun stuff for my boyfriend, friends and family. And I'd totally give the 5% to charity.
I would simply hire someplace for 29.5 million (the whole hotel for example) and blow the rest in pretty much the way he did in the movie
shareSee this is difficult there were several Clauses in the game that even Brewster Broke I dont think even the movie went into.
30 Million in 30 days Rules,
1. Can give 5% to Charity and Gamble 5%.
2. Anything inherantly valuable cannot be destroyed.
3. Services must be rendered for money given.
4. Cannot give money away.
5. Cannot tell anyone he is supposed to Spend all the money.
So That said, I think brewstes broke the 3rd rule at least once in the movie by destroying the value of that stamp by mailing it. It is essentially a collectors item and essentially it becomes worthless once you use it.
The Best Idea ive seen on this board is the Cruise ship idea. actually didnt think of that one.

Even though the stamp was a collectors item, it is still a stamp and by mailing it he got value out of it and yes it would be worthless by using it. If Brewster had cut up the stamp or burned it, then that would have broke rule #3. I believe the stamp cost $10 thousand, other people on here were saying $1 million, I have not seen the movie in a while, I could be wrong. I just got on here as I just seen Brewster's millions (1945) on TMC, he had to spend $1million in 60 days to get $7 million, it was $8 million taxes paid minus the $1 he has to spend
shareTwo words: Private Aviation
Charter a couple or three of the top-of-the-line Gulfstream G-5 Corporate Jets so you and your entourage of 20 can visit a different time zone everyday. Stay in the Finest Hotels and eat in the most expensive restaurants. Tip like crazy.
you could do it
[deleted]
Isn't tipping giving money away? I mean, I worked as a server...so I know the pay is crap...but I still got a paycheck. The tips were like bonuses (even though you kinda rely on them). They're technically charity since the patron is not required (i don't mean morally) to do it. Just my thoughts. If tips count you could just tip someone $29,999,995 for bringing me my happy meal. Tips Have to be out of the question.
shareThis would be so frigging easy. I'd rent out a luxury hotel room for 29 days at one million a day. That's 29 million gone. Then spend the remaining 1 million on fine dining, fine weed and fine booze for the month. Probably never even leave the hotel the whole time.
"I'm not A1nut because I'm normal...."
This would be easy now a days.
option 1 would be to simply rent a ride on the russian space station. thats 30 million instantly gone.
Option 2 would be to just rent everything you possibly could. Stadiums, airplanes, people. Oohh id buy every rare toy collectible I could find and rip them out of their original packaging, use the hell out of them, and sell them for next to nothing at their new value.
you cannot ruin collectible items.
its easy, i would rent some place that i cant make any money in it for 30 million dollars for 30 days.
Didnt say Id ruin them. But if I buy an original spiderman for a *beep* ton and take it out of the box to play with it its instantly worth alot less. Its just like the stamp.
sharewhat about fine women
