You are given a a million dollars if you can spend it in one day. The transaction has to be finished that day, so no houses or similar. What do you buy? (lazysoci.al)

I would buy myself a nice camera and several lenses (easy $200K right there), a new phone, and a new car. I would then donate the rest to the local homeless shelter.

Donating really doesn't feel like it adheres to the spirit of the question tbh. Frankly I bet if I had a solid 24 hours during the standard work week and a million in cash, I could get a home sale closed, though. Without mortgages, as a buyer I can skip inspections insurance etc and I'm fairly sure it could be done.

That's a good idea, but could the solicitors do their side? Although for 25k I bet you they'd find a way

200k on camera and lenses must be for some really exotic stuff? What do you have in mind? Sony A1-2 + all the lenses on the first page of G lenses only got me to 90k. And thats a crapload of useless lenses given you can't really carry 15 lenses everywhere with you?
