    Create a serverless function on AWS that calls a serverless function on Azure, which calls a serverless function on gcp which calls a serverless function on Oracle cloud which loops it back to AWS.

    Now stick CloudFlare in between each step of that.

    Genie never said they’d give me a 100M to spend in the first place. No way I’d be able to spend 100M that I don’t have.

      Find someone rich who would believe you have this pact with a génie, and promise them a 100% ROI.

      Thinking of it, that’s not the worst idea for a new sect religion…

      Or worse if he does, how do you prove to all the anti-money-laundering watchdogs you got free money from a genie? Will you be able to gain control over your instantly conviscated money in 30 days?

    I would’ve thought that this could be quite simple.

    • A few flights in a private jet, or long-term purchasing for the whole month to take you wherever you want.
    • Several $250k-500k cars in each location to take you wherever you want
    • A private show from a famous band can set you back a few million. Do this each day.
    • Go to Vegas and get in a pissing content with some rich cunt where you send expensive drinks to each others table, until one folds. That’ll be a few million each night.
    • Trump spent a ton on sex, so high class hookers?
    • A few ads across multiple providers to promote something
    • Prize fights can be set up quickly, and have the best in combat sports ready in 30 days. Offer $1m per division for the winner, and do it across maybe 4-5 sports, pay for TV and streaming, set up a venue, and you’ll probably blow through it all.

      I would spend all 100M to get ads put up all over the country of people who have wronged me and my loved ones. They’ll just be like really awful pictures of them with really petty captions like “doesn’t help carry suitcases”, “laughed at a disabled person”, “sneezed too loud that one time”. That’ll show them.

      It’s taking the premise of Brewster’s Millions, which required that he not only spend the money, but that he has to have nothing left at the end, including assets. So, buying a house doesn’t work because you still own the house.

      Obviously there are still plenty of ways to drop millions on stuff without having anything to show for it. Hell, it’s probably easier now than ever before. Just become a whale for a mobile game and you’re there.

          Well if taking the rules literally, that’s allowed too!

          As long as you resist whatever urge you might have to throw out the ashes before you get the billion, you’re not throwing them away!

            I wanna say they specifically called out property destruction as being against the rules. And overpaying as well iirc, so you can’t offer someone millions for a sandwich that you then eat.

            Plus, if we’re being pedantic, burning the money isn’t spending it, which is what he is supposed to do.

            The movie also has the advantage of having a contract that presumably covers any other loopholes the audience thinks of, but which they don’t explicitly address in the script. Once you take it out of a movie and start treating it like a challenge to be solved, you can no longer hide behind some unseen fine print.

              Not in this meme, which is what I’m referring to.

              And overpaying as well

              So that rules out spending them in the US and several other countries…

              In under-regulated capitalism, prices aren’t set at what’s fair, they’re at the maximum that they can get away with without losing too many sales/clients.

              That’s by definition overpaying from the perspective of the buyer/client.

              Plus, if we’re being pedantic

              We are indeed. Carry on, good sir/madam/cuttlefish

              burning the money isn’t spending it, which is what he is supposed to do.

              Damn, you got me there. Good point 😁

              The movie

              Again, I was referring to the meme only, not the movie that inspired the premise

              also has the advantage of having a contract that presumably covers any other loopholes the audience thinks of

              That’s a mountain sized presumption…

              Once you take it out of a movie and start treating it like a challenge to be solved, you can no longer hide behind some unseen fine print.

              Good. Genies have had it too good for too long 😛

    Just buy some commercial property, island, luxury house that is worth 100M, it can be done in less then a week. 3 weeks left to think and organize how to spend 1 billion in 1 day.

    The problem is that it’s so much money that you can clear out the inventory of almost anything you would buy while only chewing a few percent off the bankroll. Provided you can close on them in time, buying up some high end houses, or just a whole lot of land, is probably your best bet. Being a cash deal on your end helps move the paperwork faster. They’re also durable goods that don’t need a warehouse to be stored, and don’t need any maintenance for a while.
