........"so, here's my Proposition. You have 30 days in which to spend 30 million bucks. If you can do it, you get 300 million. You have to spend the 30 million, but after 30 days, you're not allowed to own any assets. No Houses, no cars, no jewellry, nothing but the shirt on your back. Sounds easy do'nt it? You'l find out! Now - you can hire anybody you want, but you gotta get value for their services. You can donate 5% to charity and gamble another 5% away, but you can't give this money away. That includes buyin' the Hope Diamond for some bimbo as a Birthday present. Oh I know what you're thinking, Brewster - you'l buy yourself a dozen Picassos and use them for firewood, right? WRONG! You must not destroy what is inherently valuable - that's instant disqualification. Oh yeh, I almost forgot - you're not allowed to tell anybody why you have to spend this money........You can have a million dollars right now and forget the whole thing, or you can go for the big one, Brewster - the 300 million. But if you fail you don't get diddly!"

So why did you post this? What is your question about it?

[–] msennel1 13 years ago

I mean it probably aught to be a sticky, given that almost all of the threads on this board relate directly to it.

we can stick it like this.

I can simplify the terms if you guys want:

1) Must have zero assets at the end of 30 days
2) Hiring people is allowed, so long as value for service is obtained
3) 5% can be donated to charity and another 5% can be gambled away
4) Cannot give away money as gifts, or buy gifts
5) Cannot destroy anything inherently valuable
6) Cannot tell anyone what's going on

I find it mildly amusing that people dont understand the value for services thing or that he cant give gifts part of the will. Id guess maybe 75% of people on here its completely lost on.
