June ‘Deluded Custodians’ Challenge

One billion dollars. Let’s say Canadian, because if Trumsk is still running (ruining) America when this is posted, American dollars will be almost good enough for t.p.

One day. 24 hours. GO!

By the end of the day, you need to have spent all the money.

It’s a lot to do.

If you spent $1,000 per day, it would take 2749 years to spend a billion dollars.

But you have only one day.

Not sure where to start?

May I suggest to you purchasing Domingo Tranquillo in Acapulco, Mexico. Asking price: $1.2 billion Canadian dollars.

Domingo Tranquillo “Quiet Sunday” is a condominium nestled amongst the myriad of sun-bleached condos on the shore of Acapulco. It’s the least ostentatious, at only 15 stories, eight 5-star restaurants. Uvebruce is head chef at one of them. Five pools, a gym, tennis, racketball, volleyball, and a mini golf course.

Screw the silver state, I prefer silver beaches.

Condos on the sixth and seventh floor are occupied by hotel staff and American immigrants, who settled here in 2020, when the governor of Nevada declared “brothels are not essential businesses.” Madam Georgia and her staff from “Georgia’s Elite” were no longer gainfully employed in Moundhouse, Nevada and opted to move. The Gov was not re-elected.

All the rest of the condos are available for rent. Occupancy is generally 75%.
