😂 perfect

No.


Absolutely. It’ll suck. But I’ll be wiping my ass with 100’s and giving a final rinse with my platinum plated bidet shooting out $1000 vintage wine into my ass

You could also support them indirectly without talk or contact. Stop being selfish.

Money is not wealth.

Nope. What good would being a billionaire be without people, who you love and care about to, share it with? In my younger days I might say “Hell yeah!” But now being married and having two amazing kids, there is no way in hell that money is more important than having them in my life!

I agree, if id be in your situation and having a loving family, i wouldnt do it too. No money ever worth that. But since thats not the case id take the money with no hesitation. And I still have to find my luck.

I dont think its stipulated you cant share it with them. I could setup my family for their lives and the remaining years of mine. I'd make that sacrifice.

There's no amount that would make me stop interacting with my daughter.

I agree, money can do a lot. It's extremely useful but people forget that the most wonderful things in life are free. Friends, family, sex, nature (sunsets, forests, beaches) etc. Having money can help with all the above but it's definitely not a requirement.

F\*\*k those f\*\*kers! I may just do it for free.

I already have!

If you have zero friends, maybe not everyone else is the problem

For a billion dollars I’d have no issue being the problem.

Hell yeah

Nah 1 billion is chump change for something as major as that. Then again, I am actually one of the few redditors who actually has an amazing family so I’m biased.

My family aren't even top tier and I couldn't leave those idiots for 1billion.

Nobody who says yes will find the happiness they’re looking for in that money and I was dreaming of being filthy rich in the womb. I’d die for my family and I’d want to be dead without them. That’s my good luck I guess.

I agree with you. I can’t imagine losing all my family and friends for a bunch of material things. No way.

The "leaving without saying anything" part really did it for me. It would be selfish of me to drive my family crazy and have them cope with the repercussions of my disappearance. It's heartbreaking enough just imagining them looking for me and the pain it'd cause them, so no, no sum of money would make me do that.

Yeah, far from perfect, but my dad and two siblings and my two children are everything to me.

Sounds like you should divorce the family and hit the gym. /s

I would be nothing without my friends or family

Yes, I would do that. But I would send money to the family. I believe that an anonymous donation is not a violation of the terms.

Do you think they would be happy to get money instead of never seeing you again? I doubt it

Someone’s never met my family

well definitely less sad with half a billion in cash

Exactly. If I were to do this I'd be rich enough to set them and their future kids up for life for a couple of generations

My wife and daughters is a deal breaker. Anyone else see ya later.

This is me

I love my family and friends so NO.

Respect

This is a tough one. My first reaction is Hell no, not ever. I have a very close knit family and they are my life. On the other hand, I'm chronically ill with Leukemia and I could will the money to them when I pass. This would ensure they are at least financially set for life and I can go, knowing I did everything I could for them.

I would have done it before I had kids. All the money in the world is not worth it if I can't see them.

Absolutely. Is the offer still available? Can even do it for a 100

i'll send you 100 if you do this

Deal. I am almost done anyway, just a few persistent ones left. Animals and nosy neighbors are not included.

My sibling cut contact with my family because they’re trans and my father doesn’t believe in trans or gay people being natural or normal. They’d deffo take 100 haha life becomes a lot harder starting alone

I think I would. I've made wonderful friends at all ages, so could again. It would be hard, but simply not having any financial stress could be worth it. I could live as I want, basically, just without worry. I wouldn't buy anything crazy and would donate most.

Shit, I’ve done it for free 

Some people do it with zero incentive haha. As long as I could make new friends and family, sure I’d do it

you do understand that there are ppl, who will just receive 1b with 0 changes in this subtraction ?

In a heartbeat.

Easily. I would do it for $100 bucks lol

I’m 62,so they probably looking for me to die soon,so fuck yeah, I would be a billionaire,think how attractive i would be with a billion dollars. 😎

why not, I'm already doing it for free... might aswell get some cash for it.

I already don't talk to my family, and only have a few friends. So sure.

What about new friends and new family AFTER the bilion? If you can create news, then the bilion Is interesting. But if you cannot have anymore friends, or create a family, the bilion is a curse and quite useless.

The only two groups: 1.) the average Redditor with deep seated trauma: Yes 2.) the average person with friends and family: No

Yes! Then I would send them money anonymously

Literally money is the only thing holding me back from doing this already

I'll do it for much less.

Hell yeah!

I’ll do it for a tenner

No, because I know how to share some money! 👍

i don't know man. i may need someone to brag to.. but okay ill take it

I'm already doing it for free!

Yes definately, tho i'd hide my wealth to the people i'm dating until i find the right one

I’m not sure how I’m gonna be able to raise $1b but that sounds like a good deal. Give me until EOD to come up with the money.

No, not at all I wouldn't want that sort of money without being able to share it with family

Is this only current friends/family? Like in my new life I can make new friends and a partner, right? If so then yes.

Fuckin fuck yeah bro I'll do that shit for a happy meal

Fake my death tomorrow...☠️⚰️

If I didn’t have kids m, I’d say yes. But a billion dollars wouldn’t cover up the hole that never talking to my two girls would open up.

Already done. $1 Billion Dollars, please ;)

Who?

Hell yea lol

Bye bitches!

Can I take my dog ?

Yes

Fuck sign me up!!

Yes! I will even do it for 500 million. That's still a lot of money for a fresh start, will need my dog, my dog is non negotiable.

I'll do it for $11.95

Fuck no

Where can I sign?

I’m already doing that, where do I collect the money?

What would be the point? Who would I share it with?

It occurs to me that Instagram baddies and thirst traps might be keen. And piss head Football players

You would have to build a new family

Hell yeah I would

depends on how much u value peace n quiet over companionship haha

Yes please!

For a few family members I could never do that. Thats like selling your soul. But yeah i would sell my soul otherwise haha.

Can we call it 10Million and I get to see them weekends

I mean if i could anonymously send my daughter money to go to college and a vehicle and support her financially to give her a better life then absolutely.. the rest of my family i literally could nit care less

Yep. If I had a billion dollars we probably wouldn't be in contact anymore anyway. How many billionaires do you see gang out with poor people?

I could not. Same reason why i could never end myself. Mum would be sad.

My dogs would be difficult to leave, other than that, absolutely.

I’ve done it for free (family).

Would I have to avoid all activities where I might run into them? I could move to another country, but if I'm active in our minority cultural spaces, I will run into one of them sooner or later.

If I can help them remotely sure.

Tempting .. but , naaahh 🧐😏

I could never abandon my brother. If he wasn't around I'd do it in a heartbeat though.

Nope, never.

I can't imagine anyone who has a normal, loving relationship with family saying yes to this. All the money in the world isn't enough for me to give up my loved ones.

Exchange real friend and people who you love and who love you for fake friends that love you for your money? Naaah. What do i do with all that money if i can not share the experiences with people I love and truly care for? I mean you can go and become a coked up, depressed rich guy, banging hookers, travelling the world and then shoot yourself in the head 2-3 years down the road. No thanks.

No. I love my family more than money.

What good’s a billion if you can’t give your beloved friends and family the world? Keep it!

No... I struggle with making friends. I am going into the accounting field and fingers crossed I make it which will resulting in me making enough money that it shouldnt be an issue. 1 billion is too much to use.

Not a chance. My family and friends are worth more than any amount of worldly valuables.

No couldn’t do it. I love my family and have some amazing friends and a great boyfriend

NOOO! Money can't buy happiness.

And they are my happiness

Who is walking away from their kids?!?

I'll admit I thought about it for about a second. I love my kids too much, to just disappear.

Having a billion dollars and no relationships is not it. Just wait till you have some money and find out it's not the way. You literally just buy stuff and have no one to do anything with. It gets old quick. If you say otherwise, it's because you've not had money. The only difference between rich and poor is the rich know caviar tastes no better than beans.

I probably could do it. But it would have to be 1 Billion USD. not some random Zimbabwe Dollar.

Yea. I would. I’d send a whopper of cash to everyone I could and disappear. They would prefer that anyways.

I could walk away from friends, but not family. There’s no price worth my wife and kids.

Buy a new family?

Nah but it’s only one relative that’s making me no and it’s my mom

No way in hell. My daughter is priceless, no amount of money is getting me to abandon her. Ever.

Only if I can give them at least 80% of the money. If I can't give them the money, then I won't do it.

I do that now for free

Without hesitation

As long as I am not prohibited from making new friends, and can leave a note behind to explain to my old ones

Kind of what I was thinking too. Doesn't seem to prohibit us from making new friends and family. A billion is a lot and I'm single with no kids, so I'm taking this deal. I'd like to think my family would be happy for me, even though they'd miss me. Plus I don't think anything is stopping me from sending them money to make their lives comfortable too.

It’s sad how few people have things in their life more meaningful than just stuff.

These questions are nothing more than a paper test of morality. The obvious answer is “no, I’d *never* do that”. It’s the moral answer; the *correct* answer. And that’s because the hypothetical question exists outside of reality. In reality, if someone sat down in front of you, with a briefcase with $10,000,000, Do you take the case and walk? It’s hard to say still. We are still facing the paper morality test. Until we are really faced with the opportunity to make such a life changing decision, we will always err on the side of morally and socially correct answers.

Speak for yourself, I’d sell those fuckers.

No. Many of my friends are multi-millionaires (tech entrepreneurs). Above $10-30k/month there's no substantive difference in life quality. They have bigger houses and don't worry about bills. But ALL their problems relate to the same things: * Relationship challenges * Purpose in life * Health Being wealthy does very little to counter loneliness. However, if you have great relationships then more money absolutely makes you happier.

You have fathers that do it for free

(35M) SHUT UP , AND TRANSFER ME THAT 1BILLION !!!!

Easily.

Any person with kids that takes the deal is scum.

Man thats rough. I would not do it, but most likely in a few decades I could regret that decision 😂 Imagine your friend or family member does something to you and you have to live with having paid 1B to endure it

Sure but idk where I’d find that much money

No

What is the point of having this much money if I can’t see me kids and share it with them

Probably I wouldn't. 1 billion sounds great but I prefer being well off with friends and family over filthy rich alone.

Never!

Never. I’d be so heartbroken that the money wouldn’t be worth it.

No. Life is more than money.

No

No

I was going to say yes but re-read the question and saw it included family. My family, as fucked up as it is, not worth losing for a billion. In the end, we work for money, to support and enjoy our time with our family. At least most of us do. A billion dollars, but no friends, no family? After awhile you have seen all the carnivals, and toy's just become boring. Then its nice to have a friend to spend time with.

No

What's the point of money if I lose my family?

Nah. You had me until you said no wife and kids. Honestly if your first thought isn't 'me, my wife and kids will have an amazing life with this money' then you're a loser.

My family is worth more than any amount of money. Besides I know some billionaires who are not happy with their lives which just proves that money does not buy happiness.

Ask me again on a day when my kids are being asshats and I’m out.

Nah. As much as I'd want to enjoy that much financial freedom. If I couldn't leave a note and money for them, I don't think I could.

Well who would I spend the money on? I would need help saving all the dogs by myself! No way!

So what if my persistent family tracksme down? Do I have to ignore them?

Nope. No amount of money is worth abandoning my kids and husband for. Plus we're well off enough as it is, nobody needs a billion dollars.

Yes

No - I wouldn't.

Probably not. I don't need the money that much and forging new real friendships is difficult enough as an adult plus how could I ever know if they are sincere or only there for my money. I care about some of my friends/family too much to never be able to see them again.

Most of my family is dead, and my friends owe me money, so...

I can buy a new family with that money.

No. My family, especially my wife and kids, are worth way more than money to me

Absolutely not. No amount of money could make me forget my family. Also, would they even know? Like would they think I was dead or missing or something?

I already do, pay me

Any chance I can get in on this deal for free even?

Yes. 100000 percent

No, I want money only to help my family and enjoy my time on earth with them and my friends. What would the money be for if not that.

No

Tough one, but you could do so much around them to make their lives better. You could even buy a company, have it hire them with big salaries, make sure they win dream vacations and bonuses from said company, etc. They would never know and may hate you for disappearing, but as long as their lives are amazing, it doesn't matter if I'm loved or hated..

I'd pay to do it!!!!11!!!!!!! 🤣😂🤣 Am I doing Reddit performative misery right? Still getting to grips with pretending I see no value in relationships.

No. I would give up my family for anything.

With 1 billion I could hire a butler to pass my message to them.

Absolutely not

Hmmm I would if I'm able to send money to my family and have them taken care of.

Lol no. If you have shit friends and a shit family then I could understand. But if you actually care about them and take ANY price for completely ghosting them, then that says a lot about your character.

Maybe before I had kids, yeah

No. I might have before my nephews were born or before I started really bonding with my dad again. But now it just doesn't seem worth it.

No

Family/friends I could, wife and kid, no.. I’d take 50% if I could take them with me

I was all in until I saw kids. I'm the only family they have, so I couldn't do it.

Never ever ever!! - Even if I could tell them why - Even if it would exclude kids - Even if it would exclude my wife - Even if it would exclude my family My wife, kids, friends and family are just too dear to me and no sum of money comes anywhere close to the value their presence in my life brings!

Yes. Hard as a rock yes.

No

No. Money can't buy our happiness. Yeah of course we can buy things whatever we want, or we can travel as we like if we have 1B dollars. However, an intense loneliness will kill us. Enjoying life with only money isn't fun after all. It's because, in my opinion, doing fun thing with money but alone is real loneliness.

No

My family is the most important thing in my life. I would never give them up, no matter how much money someone offered me.

Live with my best friend and our dogs. Even if I couldn’t talk I could send them money.

Nah I have kids. Adult kids and dependent kids. They are more important to me than any amount of money. Now extended family? Hell yeah! I’d drop my sisters in a heartbeat for that kind of money. My bio father died when I was young and my mother passed away four years ago.

It would be selfish not to. The good I could do with 1b is worth so much more than the lives/feelings of my friends and family.

yeah. theres always more friends and family to find I dont give two shits anymore about that kinda stuff just let me eat and shit in peace

No way. I have an amazing family, the best partner, awesome children and my financial situation is stable. In fact now that I stopped making money I can see them more than before. I truly wouldn't change it no matter the offer. For me, the goal in life is happiness, not material accumulation. These people bring me happiness.

My family consists of idiots and addicts. Pretty much my relationship already.

I'm usually a "take the money" answer on stuff like this but no. I love them!

No. Wouldn't take any money if I couldn't help give a better life to my partner.

As much as I like money, I would miss all the people close to me.

Be hard to get that amount of cash to make it happen

Yes. Hell, I'll cut you a deal. I'll do it for half!

No amount of money would make me leave my wife and kids. Plus I couldn’t do this to my parents either.

No. Imagine the worrying and sadness that would cause.

Easily

For sure wouldn’t think twice.
