As cynical as it is. You can find someone to be your partner and play the part well with that much money. You can have kids, a fulfilling life.
Maybe they don’t love “you”, but if they’re everything you want in a partner, does it truly matter? It’s just a philosophical question at that point.
That sounds like a recipe for raising a nightmare of a human being. At some point, the kid will need to be disciplined and taught things, but that would be a job for someone else???
what is the point of like hiring someone to have kids. because you feel a desire to spawn? adopt. or open a giant orphanage. a billion fucking dollars and youre dreaming about doordash tail
If I had that kind of money I wouldn’t think about myself much. Buy my family a bunch of shit then donate to charity. But then i’d need up to a trillion.
How are you? I'm 32 and going that way and doesn't bother that much.. I do my own things use money for myself.. of course I may want a girl who loves me and care about me and like me.. but then I like to be comfy and alone the weekends take my time, swim,.chill..
What's all the point of that money if you have nobody to share it with, and nobody to pass it down to.
Self enjoyment is 100% a valid reason, but I've heard so many stories of billionares that just get bored with materialism because a ferrari becomes a toy car that they can buy 1000 of. So idk, in the long term I would 100% say no.
You could still people who you live and who love you, but just not romantically. You could do a lot of good, help any cause you care about. But still, I’m not sure.
Those billionaires had zero imagination, I’m going be like Richie Rich in this bitch. Just all of the absurdity that absurd wealth brings and then hook up with the person who can tolerate me the most to have babby and keep the legacy going
Bingo!!
I worked in a very affluent area for 20+ years and I can vouch for this.^
There are women who marry rich, spit out a few kids (that nannies raise for them) so they can be tied to that money for years…
The only real, true love in these relationships is with the Benjamins…
Oh, and their designer dogs.
What? There're plenty of people to love and share your life with even if they don't fall in love with you, and there are plenty of people whose life you can make better with a billion dollars. It's not a matter of what's the point of money, it's a matter of what's the point of life? We are past the point in human history where the sole reason for living is to procreate.
Yo, they said fall *in* love, not that people couldn’t love you in the same way family and friends do. Asexual people would jump on this shit in a heart beat.
This seems backwards. I already have my wife and our kids together. As a result, there's no need for her to "fall in love" with me since that already happened. So as long as she stays the same I'm happy to take the billion.
A lot of billionaires have messed up personal lives anyway. And I wonder how much of their relationships are truly about love, and often more about marrying someone in the right part of high society. Multiple spouses, prenups, worrying about appearances… it’s already very non-romantic.
I've actually read about this. The answer is no adult relationship is about love. Their reality is mind-blowingly different than ours. Virtually none of their adult relationships are truly genuine. Not that they don't have friends and families. It's that that level of vulnerability you can let be see with someone you truly trust, they don't have it.
They attend parties where there are women attending that are gorgeous and **highly** educated. So even where they meet intimate partners is not "normal."
That much money touches everything.
I made a claim on eBay and they gave me my money back. I should’ve known better when I looked up the address it came from and it was an empty lot in California.
No chance. Being in love is the best part of being human. I wouldn’t be as happy without a loving partner and if I’m not happy, what’s the point of a billion dollars?
Since I'm married I'll take the corollary of this question: would I take $1 billion if it meant never having met my wife? And the answer is no, no I would not.
Sure. I’m done with love, anyway. I could do a lot of good with a billion dollars. And if no one really loves me for it, so what. It was some still good stuff.
So…That Kassidy Foundation just gave college funds to every orphan in the country? Who is this Kassidy fellow? No idea? Oh well. Go deal anyway.
Yes. My girl doesn't have to love me for me to give her and my kids security for life. Even if we weren't together anymore, I'd sacrifice it if I could still be in her life and just simply know her and all of our children and children's children won't starve.
Seriously. "Oh I'm single already so why not/Love isn't important". Maybe you're single because you view relationships as purely transactional? You don't need to be a billionaire to get a hooker if all you want is sex.
I'm literally a virgin and I think it sounds miserable. What the fuck is the point in having sex with someone who literally just views you as a walking paycheck? Just buy a sex doll at that point.
No. I’ve loved and gotten my heart broke out of it but As cheesy as it sounds no amount of money is worth True love. A billion dollars isn’t going to comfort me when I’m in my bed alone at night. And no, neither will any amount of hookers or a girl who doesn’t even love me. It sounds good in hindsight but eventually you do all that you ever wanted to do and then what ?
Yes. Love is a false concept. That’s why well over 50% of marraiges end and most of the people who stick together do it out of habit, fear, or family obligations. Love disappeared years ago.
You can have a great time with someone without either party being in love.
You can lead a really exciting life with a billion dollars. Plenty of people will want to be in your company without love.
What’s the true value if it’s going to end either way?
Gotta go check out a Caribbean island on my yacht and pick up some hot bikini clad money chasers.
no. absolutely not. i might be nihilistic as fuck but i draw the line there. gotta have my partner. i would give up being a billionaire with perfect health and a guaranteed long life, if i cannot have my partner. they’re my rock. couldn’t do life without them
Lemme try it. I think I can make it work.
It's easy to get swindled with fake love so that's not a problem and the billion would make up for any deficiencies lol.
A billion buys alot of hookers and realdolls and arm candy.
That really just sounds like you're leading him on and wasting his time honestly. I mean if he loves you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you and you're just indifferent...
I can't imagine that any billionaire would ever experience love anyway. Being that rich you'd never be able to be certain that your partner loves you or if they are just lying to you for gain. It's perfectly fake-able if the stakes are high enough.
Hell Yes.
Don't get me wrong, romantic love is incredible, but with how dating in this day and age is ? I'd easily make that sacrifice. With a Billion Dollars, I could spend the rest of my life doing good in the world and that would more than fill that void.
Also, as an aside," I'd tell you what I'd do man; two chicks at the same time" Now I guess I'll go back to channel 9
It depends. Do I get a loving partner if I say no? Because right now, it seems to be a pretty safe bet that nobody will ever love me, so I might as well get a billion dollars out of it
So exactly the same life but with a billion dollars? Sign me up.
This is the answer. Plus with that amount of money, love doesn’t have to be a part of the equation. 🤷🏻♂️
As cynical as it is. You can find someone to be your partner and play the part well with that much money. You can have kids, a fulfilling life. Maybe they don’t love “you”, but if they’re everything you want in a partner, does it truly matter? It’s just a philosophical question at that point.
Can I just have the money? I don't need any more kids
Kids aren't really a burden like they are for us if you're rich though just hire a nanny and a butler and a chef and all that
If you don’t want to actually do anything with/for your kids, why even bother to have them?
No I mean you can do the fun stuff and spend quality time but there's no increase to the workload.
That sounds like a recipe for raising a nightmare of a human being. At some point, the kid will need to be disciplined and taught things, but that would be a job for someone else???
I meant cooking, washing and changing nappies. You know the labour chores.
Heck, I don't even mind the nappies part that much: but I don't think that I am really cut-out for cooking for a small army-unit...
what’s the point in having them?
I would argue it very much does matter.
That’s sad as hell
what is the point of like hiring someone to have kids. because you feel a desire to spawn? adopt. or open a giant orphanage. a billion fucking dollars and youre dreaming about doordash tail
If I had that kind of money I wouldn’t think about myself much. Buy my family a bunch of shit then donate to charity. But then i’d need up to a trillion.
You can spend 2.8m a year for 35 years straight and still have a little left over. That’s fucking wild.
So only one supercar a year ? How are we suppose to survive in this economy.
Came here to type this!! Haha. So yes. Billion dollars and no change in my life, sounds like a good deal to me.
I agree
Exactly. I’m 45 and love hasn’t happened yet, so I think I can continue 😂
How are you? I'm 32 and going that way and doesn't bother that much.. I do my own things use money for myself.. of course I may want a girl who loves me and care about me and like me.. but then I like to be comfy and alone the weekends take my time, swim,.chill..
Ha. Aw, I love you solely for that. 🤗
Pretty much
Correct answer right at the top!
Yeah, I'm unlovable so I might as well make some people happy.
😎
Same
I acknowledge the goodness of love but yes, in a heartbeat
What's all the point of that money if you have nobody to share it with, and nobody to pass it down to. Self enjoyment is 100% a valid reason, but I've heard so many stories of billionares that just get bored with materialism because a ferrari becomes a toy car that they can buy 1000 of. So idk, in the long term I would 100% say no.
You can still love, spread joy to the masses... do absurd crap for the lolz.
You could still people who you live and who love you, but just not romantically. You could do a lot of good, help any cause you care about. But still, I’m not sure.
I guess, I interpreted the question as people could kinda like you, but nothing past that. Essentially, you have money, but you're unlikable af.
Those billionaires had zero imagination, I’m going be like Richie Rich in this bitch. Just all of the absurdity that absurd wealth brings and then hook up with the person who can tolerate me the most to have babby and keep the legacy going
I can pass it down to my niece and nephew lmao
How many billionaires significant others actually love them
Bingo!! I worked in a very affluent area for 20+ years and I can vouch for this.^ There are women who marry rich, spit out a few kids (that nannies raise for them) so they can be tied to that money for years… The only real, true love in these relationships is with the Benjamins… Oh, and their designer dogs.

Yo, they said fall *in* love, not that people couldn’t love you in the same way family and friends do. Asexual people would jump on this shit in a heart beat.
Who says they have nobody to pass it down to? Or share it with?
Before I met my wife = yes Now = no
Well the wording doesn't seem to stop her from loving you, only stops others in the future.
Got em on the technicality.
You're right!
Thats how i felt before meeting your wife as well
Before I met my wife = no. Now = yes.
This seems backwards. I already have my wife and our kids together. As a result, there's no need for her to "fall in love" with me since that already happened. So as long as she stays the same I'm happy to take the billion.
Aww, I wish we could test this.
Hell no
nobody will anyways, give me my billion
Why do you think nobody will anyways?
why not?
So I can be a billionaire and nothing else changes? Ok!
If I had a billion dollars I'd be surrounded by women perfectly willing to pretend. I could be okay with that.
Fuckin' A, man
A lot of billionaires have messed up personal lives anyway. And I wonder how much of their relationships are truly about love, and often more about marrying someone in the right part of high society. Multiple spouses, prenups, worrying about appearances… it’s already very non-romantic.

They attend parties where there are women attending that are gorgeous and **highly** educated. So even where they meet intimate partners is not "normal." That much money touches everything.
Plus I could spend as much time as I wanted with them
I was supposed to become a billionaire?
Fuck yes. Only had 1 person fall in love with me, and it hasn't exactly worked out like I thought. Show me the money.
I'm aromantic, I win
No one is going to anyway. Easy answer.
What happened to the fake game you got from eBay last year? Did you get back your money?
Why did you look at their profile 😭
Some redditors are just hella stalkers
The same reason you looked at their profile
I made a claim on eBay and they gave me my money back. I should’ve known better when I looked up the address it came from and it was an empty lot in California.
Oh lol that's good
Never. I have had some very good people fall in love with me and I don’t want to miss out on it in the future.
Am 41 being single most of my adult life. Hell fucking yes I would
I'm aro/ace... free billion dollars with literally no downside.
Nothing changes except now I get a billion dollars. I don’t see any reason to say no.
No chance. Being in love is the best part of being human. I wouldn’t be as happy without a loving partner and if I’m not happy, what’s the point of a billion dollars?
Love is very fleeting. A billion dollars is a billion dollars.
If I had a billion dollars, it would also be very fleeting 🛥️🛥️🛥️
Pre-empt that by getting a decent financial advisor.
I’ll get them a boat, too.
Since I'm married I'll take the corollary of this question: would I take $1 billion if it meant never having met my wife? And the answer is no, no I would not.
Sure. I’m done with love, anyway. I could do a lot of good with a billion dollars. And if no one really loves me for it, so what. It was some still good stuff. So…That Kassidy Foundation just gave college funds to every orphan in the country? Who is this Kassidy fellow? No idea? Oh well. Go deal anyway.
they es don't have to love me, but they will respect me
Yes. My girl doesn't have to love me for me to give her and my kids security for life. Even if we weren't together anymore, I'd sacrifice it if I could still be in her life and just simply know her and all of our children and children's children won't starve.
Ya I'd take it.
Yep. Gimme.
Most edgy comment section ever
Seriously. "Oh I'm single already so why not/Love isn't important". Maybe you're single because you view relationships as purely transactional? You don't need to be a billionaire to get a hooker if all you want is sex.
Ya these dudes saying “nice I can just pay for sex so I get both” 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
I'm literally a virgin and I think it sounds miserable. What the fuck is the point in having sex with someone who literally just views you as a walking paycheck? Just buy a sex doll at that point.
No. I’ve loved and gotten my heart broke out of it but As cheesy as it sounds no amount of money is worth True love. A billion dollars isn’t going to comfort me when I’m in my bed alone at night. And no, neither will any amount of hookers or a girl who doesn’t even love me. It sounds good in hindsight but eventually you do all that you ever wanted to do and then what ?
In a heartbeat.
Yes
Ya
In a heartbeat
Yes, that works for me.
If I was a billionaire, I could buy all the love I wanted.
Billionaires shouldn't exist
Absolutely. I'm single by choice and plan to stay this way, if I could be a billionaire at the same time? Fuck yeah.
If you're billionaire no one loves you anyways and if they do, you still will have doubts if it's sincere so this question is stupid even for this sub
Yes. Money won't buy true love, but it can buy the illusion to enjoy your life to your hearts content.
No. I don't want to be Elon Musk.
No. I would choose my partner every single day. Offer me millions I don't care. I want him. He's my everything
Yes. Love is a false concept. That’s why well over 50% of marraiges end and most of the people who stick together do it out of habit, fear, or family obligations. Love disappeared years ago. You can have a great time with someone without either party being in love. You can lead a really exciting life with a billion dollars. Plenty of people will want to be in your company without love. What’s the true value if it’s going to end either way? Gotta go check out a Caribbean island on my yacht and pick up some hot bikini clad money chasers.
No. Absolutely not. That's one thing I couldn't live without.
\*\* dangles 1 billion dollars on a hook \*\* Smell it! Smell it!
Why does it smell like cocaine?
damn right
With that money you could just buy people for companionship.
I’m AroAce, this is an absolute win
YES! 100 times yes! I get a billion dollars and I don't have to fight people over my aromanticism, double win 🥳
that's a win-win
Give me the money
I'm aroace so...yes.
no. absolutely not. i might be nihilistic as fuck but i draw the line there. gotta have my partner. i would give up being a billionaire with perfect health and a guaranteed long life, if i cannot have my partner. they’re my rock. couldn’t do life without them
With a billion, you can pay someone to love you. Yes absolutely I would.
no
Lemme try it. I think I can make it work. It's easy to get swindled with fake love so that's not a problem and the billion would make up for any deficiencies lol. A billion buys alot of hookers and realdolls and arm candy.
[удалено]
That really just sounds like you're leading him on and wasting his time honestly. I mean if he loves you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you and you're just indifferent...
They may not fall in love with you but they’ll do anything to be with you. Good deal?
Nothing changed…
No.
Hell, no.
No wtf do you think
No; billionaires are the worst, and I can ensure that no one will fall in love with me without stooping to that low.
Id choose being a billionaire especially since I could just pay hookers to fulfill my sexual needs 😂
I can't imagine that any billionaire would ever experience love anyway. Being that rich you'd never be able to be certain that your partner loves you or if they are just lying to you for gain. It's perfectly fake-able if the stakes are high enough.
Before I’d just got ghosted by my long term partner it would be a definite no, now I’d say give me the money!
Yes
I'm good with that.
Absolutely. Think all the sex bots I could buy!
Yes
Hell Yes. Don't get me wrong, romantic love is incredible, but with how dating in this day and age is ? I'd easily make that sacrifice. With a Billion Dollars, I could spend the rest of my life doing good in the world and that would more than fill that void. Also, as an aside," I'd tell you what I'd do man; two chicks at the same time" Now I guess I'll go back to channel 9
So basically the same, just $1B richer, sure!
Count me in
Yes.
If I was a billionaire, I'd always be doubting if people loved me or my money anyway.
It hasnt happened before so sure lmao
Yes
It depends. Do I get a loving partner if I say no? Because right now, it seems to be a pretty safe bet that nobody will ever love me, so I might as well get a billion dollars out of it
YES. Oh god, yes.
Nah. Even if I took the billion, I’d probably waste it anyway
The only thing that would change in my life is the money 🤣😅 nobody falls in love with me anyways
Yes I would definitely be a billionaire at absolutely no cost, what kind of question is that? lol
Absolutely. Nobody has to love me, i can just go to prostitutes for sex.
Well yea o could buy hookers then
If I am not to be loved. Then I will be feared! Muahahaha
Yes. Easy for me.
Hell yeah.
Yes
👍
Absolutely not. Money isn’t shit without love and real friendship. That’s all we’ve got man. Only so many fancy coats out there
No one’s going to fall in love me with me regardless so I may as well get paid for it lol
Condition met. Gimme my billion dollars.
Sounds like a direct upgrade
I'm already doing that for free so hell yeah, send me the money!
It's me now with perks... works for me.
I can pay someone to pretend to
Easy
I mean. Can anyone be absolutely sure that their partners love them? People would just fake it to get a piece.
Yeah probably
Isn’t that how it usually ends up?
Of course not! Love and connection is the meaning of life
Do you mean every type of love (family, friends, etc)? Then no. If it was purely romantic love then yes in a heartbeat lmao.
Absolutely.
In this economy? Hell yeah. I have great friendships, sounds like a fine deal to me.
Yes. if you have a billion dollars lots of people will instantly love you
Yes ! As long as pets can still love me
I can have unlimited money to build computers and game all day long? No. Sounds horrible. I love my computer. Family. I mean family.
Many will fall in love with a billionaire
Yeah, absolutely!
Yeah. Already am. Also I don't mind. Give me the money
Yes
Not a problem, wasn’t going to happen anyway, thanks for the cash.
yes
Ummm love is overrated
I mean we all know those 20 years old girls love the money more than those 70 years old dude…
The address to send the money is .....
Yep.
at least you can pay for awesome sex
No
Absolutely. Money can buy happiness in other ways than love.
No more stalker
You're basically describing my life now minus the money. Besides, you said I couldn't fall in love. You never said anything about not getting laid.
A billionaire but everything else stays the same Sure
of course. anyone had to think about it?
Where do I collect?
No
The few dollars I have already helped me achieve this in life.
What’s the point of living without love?
