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)

Gold jewelry doesn't have as much inherent value as bullion, so it would be harder to sell without losing money. And in 24 hours I could easily drive to a big city for the purchase (or just book a flight with a tiny fraction of the money).

I don't think you have to sell it though? At least not from reading the original post

But a million is also not that much. I'd imagine any jewelry store in a mall has multiple millions worth of inventory

I don't have to sell it, but I assume I'll want to eventually. And yeah a million isn't really that much for a precious metal shop anyways.
