Are you trying to use the verb "to buy" or the verb "to bring"? That is the first thing we need to know, because your sentence is hard to interpret the way you have written it.
If you are talking about buying something, the past participle is bought, not brought. "Have I bought anything with that money?" might be used if you had paid someone some money and were now asking if you were receiving anything in return.
If you mean to use "brought," which is the past participle of the verb "to bring," then I have trouble coming up with a meaning for your sentence. Would you like to clarify?
Either way, though, the "helping verb" for a past participle is always a form of "to have" rather than a form of "to be" (so, it's HAVE, not AM, in your sentence).
P.S. Do you really look exactly like Roger Federer? :)

What exactly are you trying to say? As a sentence without context, it sounds very strange (if not wrong).

It is sheer nonsense.
buy bought bought
bring brought brought
So what are you really trying to say?
