You Have $100,000 to Spend in 1 Hour – The World's Fastest Shopping Spree

· 2 min read

Ever wonder what you'd do with a cool $100,000 if you only had an hour? Reddit's What If community got a little creative, and the results are… well, you can’t buy a small island in an hour, but you can definitely buy a lot of ridiculous things. Below are the most absurd (and slightly hilarious) answers that came back to the question.

You have $100,000 to spend in 1 hour. What are you buying with the money?

The Answers​

  • Casino Chips, Baby
    “Buy $100,000 in casino chips, then turn around and cash them back in.”
    Because nothing says “I’m responsible” like converting cash to chips and back to cash in the span of an hour.

  • Loophole Hunter
    “You found a loophole.”
    If only the IRS had a loophole that let you buy a small country with a single click.

  • Food‑Frenzy
    “55 burgers, 55 fries, 55 tacos, 55 pies, 55 cokes, 100 tater tots, 100 pizzas, 100 tenders, 100 meatballs, 100 coffees, 55 wings, 55 shakes, 55 pancakes, 55 pastas, 55 peppers and 155 taters!”
    Basically a one‑hour, 100‑item food festival. The only thing missing is a full‑size pizza delivery truck.

  • Crypto Confusion
    “1 btc.... oh wait 1.2 btc... no 0.8 btc...”
    When your brain tries to calculate crypto prices in real time.

  • Mortgage Magic
    “Throw it at the mortgage.”
    Because nothing says “I love my home” like a quick 100k splurge on your mortgage.

TL;DR​

You can’t buy a yacht or a house in an hour, but you can definitely buy a lot of chips, food, crypto, and mortgage‑pay‑back‑cash‑back. The world’s fastest shopping spree is all about being absurdly efficient!
