Default How many people would you give up your net worth for?

Pretend someone kidnapped someone close to you, and the only way he would survive would be for you to transfer all of your assets over to the kidnapper. In this scenario assume this is the only way for said person to live.


How many people would you do this for?


FWIW I am pretty selfish and well off, and I found it surprising how many people I think I would do this for.

I wanted to say just my parents, but then I kept thinking of other people and the number started getting pretty large. I'll probably cut off all contact with everyone I know just in case.

I don't have money worth taking a pizza hostage over, but if I did and the hypothetical scenario emerged where I had to pay all m money in ransom (and there was no possibility of someone else paying, paying not working in saving the person, saving occurring by other means, or consideration of not-paying ransoms as a deterrent type stuff) I can't imagine I could live with myself if I didn't pay the ransom even for a stranger let alone someone I know; or maybe Im not understanding you.

I would do this for anyone, except people that I actually think are bad for society (Bush, Osama). Apparently money is that important.

Default Re: How many people would you give up your net worth for?

depends on how long it would take me to make it back.

for example, if im worth 100k, i could more easily give it up for a single person if i knew that i could just get a stake from someone and grind my 100k back in like 4 months.
if i had a minimum wage job, but got lucky with some random stock investments, to make 100k, i would probably not give it up for anyone outside of my very close blood relation.
