10 Ways To Blow A Million Dollars Fast in Tampa

  Hey why not - he's won THREE Stanley Cups in a row now!? And $1 million would be a raise for him. Not only would you get a ringer who can put the puck in the net, we're pretty sure no one would mess with anyone on your team. An enforcer like that is key!

  Share

  You could bring about 5,000 of your closest friends.

• Rent Tom Brady’s First Tampa House For a Couple Years

  Share

  When the G.O.A.T. first joined the Bucs, he needed a nice place to crash so he rented Derek Jeter's South Tampa house. The rent? About $44,000 a month, according to various reports.

• Never Cook Again

  With $1 million, you could have that Cuban / 1905 Salad combo at Columbia Restaurant in Ybor for every meal for the next 50 years.

  Have your own Gasparilla. Rent a few floats and invite a few hundred friends over. You should have plenty of money left over to cover enough Captain Morgan for everyone.

  Share

  There's a 1-acre island off Tarpon Springs that is for sale at the opening of the Anclote River. You can put a house on it, or just leave it the way it is and enjoy some private outdoor time just a boat ride away.
