Would you do any of these hypothetical things for 1 billion pounds?

Just for fun and because I was talking to a friend earlier and we were having a ridiculous conversation.

Would you do any of these 3 things for a guaranteed instant billion pounds.

Have sex with 1000 men (you won’t catch an std)
Kill someone (you won’t get caught)
Have sex with the most repulsive man you can think of.
Put your children in boarding school.

Obviously those things aren’t really going to happened but if someone offered you the money to do one of those things would you do any and if so which one?

  1. No.
  2. No.*- unless it was a truly heinous person and I would be doing the world a favour.
  3. Yes* - though probably would have already killed him under point 2 above.
  4. Hell yeah.

I don't have kids but I did go to boarding school. It wasn't that bad. The hypothetical ankle-snatchers would survive and I'd pay for ponies and therapy if they didn't like it.

I don’t think boarding school would necessarily be terrible. Some kids love it, especially for 6th form.

OneKeenPeachRaven · 18/09/2026 19:14

I don't have children, so can I put my theoretical children into boarding school?

Also I sincerely doubt many folks - if it was straightforwardly legit and safe - wouldn't have sex with someone repugnant for that money.

The number of ppl who'd shag DT is far more disturbing imo.

If you shag DT and then kill him do you get two billion?

I already asked that! I would take great pleasure in the second part not so much the first. I don't think it is valid to say loads of us would shag Donald Trump. He's just been cited (accurately IMO) as the most repulsive man people could think of.

Likewise 😂

XenoBitch · 18/09/2026 19:09

I don't have kids so I guess I am stuck with a lot of grim sex and killing someone.
Can I combined some? Shag someone to death?

Sandyq106 · 18/09/2026 19:08

I'd have sex with a repulsive man, hopefully it would over VERY quickly, and think of the lives you could change with that amount of money.
I'd have to have a few stiff ones first ( forgive the pun !!)

GarlicSomething · 18/09/2026 18:13

All except kill. I'm somewhat disturbed by the number of PPs who'd rather be a murderer than shag an ugly!

I'd need to space the 1,000 men out over, say, three months. I could do the disgusting man doggy-style so I didn't have to look at him 😂

@Gettingcosy13 I’m going for the 1000 men. Over and done with.

Im taking this so seriously I think I’ve just put a deposit down on my new holiday home 🤣

Interesting that you’ve chosen 1000 men over 1 repulsive one! 😂

AllJoyAndNoFun · 18/09/2026 18:59

I think most eleven year olds would bite your hand off if you said “you have to go to boarding school but you get 250 million pounds ( so a quarter of the haul) in return. You’ll be able to buy whatever you want, for ever.”

SharkyBait · 18/09/2026 18:57

I couldn’t kill anyone and I wouldn’t want to, regardless of who they were, for any amount of money. I wouldn’t want to put my kids in boarding school either. No amount of money would buy back that lost time with them. The sex ones are harder to answer- the disgusting man…would I have to engage with him and kiss him, or could I lay there with my eyes closed and wait for it to be over? And the 1000 men…would it be until the each one finished, or is there a time limit per man? Imagine 1000 men and each one lasting 5 minutes or longer. Ouchy. Actually, no…I wouldn’t want to do the 1000 men. So possibly I could do the disgusting man depending on the T&Cs.

CatsRuleMyLife · 18/09/2026 18:54

Me too, in fact some on the list I'd cheerfully kill for the price of a coffee.

No problem putting kids in a boarding school, either, but not sure on the sex ones. Would depend whether I'm allowed to kill them after, I think.

I have an earworm now (Black Widow by Alice Cooper).

CatsRuleMyLife · 18/09/2026 18:54

Dogdogdogdig · 18/09/2026 17:35

I have a list.

I even have a list of those I’d do it and serve every day with a smile on my face if I did get caught.

ScaramoucheCanYouDoTheFandango · 18/09/2026 18:52

Have sex with 1000 men (you won’t catch an std)

  • as a 57 year old will vaginal atrophy that would be a bit nippy so no
Kill someone (you won’t get caught)
  • a real baddie and if it was not too violent maybe - gun shot would be ok, injection ok, stabbing or anything close up and messy I don’t think I could do
Have sex with the most repulsive man you can think of.
  • no
Put your children in boarding school.
  • he is 22 would a boarding school accept him now???

Looks like I am destined to be poor 🤣

UndeadLife · 18/09/2026 18:51

Dont have kids so boarding school is n/a

i couldn't have sex with anyone i didnt love and was in a long term relationship with so both of those are out

Kill somebody, they'd have to be morally corrupt and have done something unforgivable.

JudyTeeny · 18/09/2026 18:40

We used to do this in idle moments at work, but it was a million, rather than a billion. That's inflation for you!

A lot of people don't appreciate the difference! I doubt I'd do these things for a million.

Context-a million seconds is 11 and a half days. A billion seconds is thirty-two years.

Metalmotha · 18/09/2026 18:50

Gettingcosy13 · 18/09/2026 17:43

So would I 🤣

Not sure what that says about me.

Sensible, that’s what it says about you, sensible

CinnamonBuns67 · 18/09/2026 18:48

I'd do the sex with the most repulsive man thing. 1000 men seems too much so that's a no, I'd probably say I could do the killing if it was someone I hated but I'd probably still not be able to do it. I couldn't send my children away.

Oh he’d have got scientists to create a drug to last hours

Edited

Hours I could do too. Days, no. But hours, yes. It's just a dick, isn't it? How bad can it be. I've a chequered sexual history (not in number but in dodgy encounters). I could cope.

Sparrowlass · 18/09/2026 18:47

AllJoyAndNoFun · 18/09/2026 18:34

Any of them tbh. But you might have a job finding 1000 willing men 😂

😆

Sparrowlass · 18/09/2026 18:46

ShutupLwren · 18/09/2026 18:34

I presumed the 1000 men was a Bonnie blue style stunt.
Honestly I’d rather that than have the fuckers wading in and out my life. Get it sorted in 24 hours.

Shagging trump for a billion? If I wasn’t aware of how he’s a child predatory rapist who’s responsible for deaths of 1000s of civilians and I just thought he was a gross shitty arsed loser, fine. But not knowing who he is as a person. I couldn’t.

I’d rather have sex with one of the contestants from my 1000lb life where they haven’t washed for 10 years and smell like poo than trump.

My way of thinking is, if you had a billion, think of all the help you could give to all of those vulnerable children in existence who are his victim profile. Similarly, I would kill an animal for 1 Billion, if the 1 Billion gave me the power to close down factory farms/build animal shelters/help people give their pets adequate vet care/educate people about animal rights etc etc. I am not money-hungry as a rule, I live a modest life and don't like many material things, despite having the money to have more. But that much money brings power, and you can do a lot with power.

Can't see Trump lasting a long time, can you? That's if he can get it up at all. 😆

How do you know it would be for a few minutes?
