Ridiculous ways of making a Million dollars

I realized that every time I search about making a quick million, someone comes with a logical but unrealistic idea of making a million dollars.

Post any way of making a million.

My idea: Buy 500k worth of pencils that cost a dollar and sell it for 3 dollars each

uhh buy anything for less and sell it for more than you bought it for...

You must be the biggest fucking retard on WSO since MiamiThrice.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 
AsinineName one person who will buy a single pencil for 3 dollars. Bad investment.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

Even horrible ideas can be profitable investments, if executed properly.

I actually laughed out loud at his post

 

blow 40,000 guys for $25 each

If your dreams don't scare you, then they are not big enough. "There are two types of people in this world: People who say they pee in the shower, and dirty fucking liars."-Louis C.K.
 

Open up 500 credit card accounts with a credit limit of $10,000 each. Purchase 1 month US T-Bills. You will have just under 2 months to pay back your credit cards, and so long as you pay within the 2 months, its interest free. On top of that, you will get points awarded for all the volume you are using.

Profit off the yield from the T-Bills, the ability to borrow money interest free for 2 months, and the awards you get from the credit card companies.

 

this is the kind of get-rich-quick attitude adopted by all the idiots in this country who have no skills or knowledge or work ethic that has put our society in such fine shape. i applaud you, son, keep chasing that dream.
