One person, wife. Of course I'd expect her to disperse it amongst kids, if any.

The kidnapped person is not the one receiving the funds, obviously.

Oh. It's my policy not to negotiate with terrorists. I wouldn't give anything for anybody in that case.

OP is pretty clearly trying to figure out which poster's family members to kidnap. Nice try, you Yankeee bastard.

definitely 20+, although unrelated (and I wouldn't ask for it) all of them would eventually pay me back.

also i would save people i don't know, that i know would at least give me my money back (i.e. celebs, rich people)

Pretty much anyone I like. I can just make more money.

I wouldn't do [censored] for strangers.

I think this would be more interesting if you had to give up future earnings too. My wife and parents might make the cut there, that is about it.

i dunno, obviously it's impossible to say what you would do unless faced with the situation. but, i think the analogy of just giving it all away now doesn't hold. there's no real way to find someone out there about to die who i could give some amount of money to and immediately that person would have a normal and great life. also, i'm not the only one who can save them and am being faced with that decision at the moment.

i guess relative strangers may be a bit over the top, but if i somehow knew the persons background and all the good things he or she does with his or her life, i really think i would rather give up my money and save them then let them die.

i mean its only money and i can always make more. i expect my current net worth to be a pretty small fraction of my total lifetime earnings.

EDIT: It also would feel amazingly fulfilling which would be a nice change of pace from playing poker, slacking off in school, and working on wall street making rich people richer.
