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?

Yes. Unless you know what living on the breadline is, you’ll never understand.

JoleneJoleneJoleneJoleneJolene · 18/09/2026 17:48

All of them.
Don't have kids but I'd put anyone else's in a boarding school 😁

Backlate · 18/09/2026 17:48

No
no
no
and I already do!

Stompythedinosaur · 18/09/2026 17:48

I'd do the sex ones, I wouldn't kill someone or put my kids in boarding school.

Of someone was stood.in front of you with a billion pounds in cash (how big a bag would you need 😆) people would do anything
We used to have this conversation a lot at uni when we were hungover, one friend 're lined she'd need a million pounds to shave her head, would you bollocks. Fifty grand would buy a nice wig 😆

Yes I find it hard to believe that people wouldn’t do certain things for the money but I honestly d t think I could kill someone. I think the only way I could is if it was an intruder intending to harm me or my children.

Maybe I could kill a child killer, but even then I don’t feel it’s my right to take a life I’m not religious but there’s a bit of god fearing in me I think from my upbringing.

As someone who loved boarding school that’s an easy one, but if I were able to choose the person I bumped off that’s a close second

CaptainCalm · 18/09/2026 17:50

No
No
Maybe, depending on if I needed the money
Yes, one of my kids is already at a boarding school and the others likely to go there too at age 13. No if it’s now as my 10yr old is too young.

I think this is another good point.

I grew up in absolute poverty and although I’m not in that situation any more I know when people say money doesn’t buy happiness that it’s mostly bollox.

I wouldn’t shave my head for 50k

far too vain

I shav d my head for free when I was a drunk student 😂

MyGallbladderIsAFucker · 18/09/2026 17:52

Sex with a repulsive male. Sounds like my lack of confidence early 20s again but with money.
Pop him round.

LaurieFairyCake · 18/09/2026 17:52

I’d kill Trump (and Vance) for free

and probably fuck either or both of them for a billion as long as I got to kill then after for free

Twoshoesnewshoes · 18/09/2026 17:46

Yep, probably all of them - so do I get 4 billion pounds?
in order of preference
kill someone
sex with repulsive man
kids in boarding school
sex with a 1000 men - this one sounds exhausting, I think I’d need at least two years to complete.

Yes it would definitely take longer ham the one repulsive man wouldn’t it.

But I suppose I’m thinking 1000 men who maybe aren’t your type but aren’t repulsive. Or one absolutely disgusting man.

No 2 yes, the others no

ScaredButUnavoidable · 18/09/2026 17:54

The only thing I could bring myself to do off that list is have sex with a repulsive man.

I would just close my eyes and fantasise about what I was going to spend my billions on.

MirandaWest · 18/09/2026 17:56

A billion pounds would be too much money. I can’t really comprehend 1,000 million. It would actually make me feel too stressed.

Ponoka7 · 18/09/2026 17:56

I'd do all of them. Knowing, my adult children, they'd be glad I did put them in boarding school to get rid of the daily grind.

LateMumma · 18/09/2026 17:56

So many variables, depends if I feel the world would be a better place without the murder victim, does my child want to go to boarding school. I couldnt do the have sex with 1000 people, poss the most repulsive man depending on what made him repulsive. On balance, probably no, but with caveats!

I do it for 150k

TishToshByGosh · 18/09/2026 17:57

Killing someone - do I get to choose who?

bingobangs · 18/09/2026 17:57

I would consider boarding at secondary

mtobrokeme · 18/09/2026 17:58

Yes
No
Yes
No

Londonmummy66 · 18/09/2026 17:59

Sixth form boarding? Yes - mine both did and loved it. Boarding at 7 - no way.

bingobangs · 18/09/2026 17:59

What time frame for the 1000 men & can you choose them?

Ipsevenenabibas · 18/09/2026 17:59

No I couldn't do those things for any amount.
