I would've thought that this could be quite simple.
I would spend all 100M to get ads put up all over the country of people who have wronged me and my loved ones. They'll just be like really awful pictures of them with really petty captions like "doesn't help carry suitcases", "laughed at a disabled person", "sneezed too loud that one time". That'll show them.
Single use luxury cars is my favorite one
Buy a/some 737 and start an airline. It's easy to spend $100m.
The lead times on aircraft manufacturing is measured in years though. It's so bad that in many cases airlines will lease aircraft from other airlines to the point that it's all meaningless
You can still spend the required money even if the product isn't delivered.
Honestly modern finance brings us to a point where you really have to ask what the criteria is to actually "spend" the money, given how many businesses that exist purely moving numbers around on spreadsheets and not actually doing anything tangible in the real world
