Just How Much Would It Take For You To…???
Can you be bought? Well, it's not like they asked some crazy things. Well maybe they did. 1,000 people were asked how much it would take to do some things and this is what they said.
It was a survey from eBay. The questions were: How much would it cost to get you to give up:
1. Facebook for a year $ 1,000
2. Netflix for a year $ 10,000
3. Your smartphone for a year $ 32,500
4. Caffeine for a year $ 55,000
5. Shaving for a year $ 100,000
6. Music for a year $ 550,000
7. Hot showers for a year $ 1 Million
8. Speaking. To NOT speak $ 10 Million
After that point, it was not what you would give up, but what you would do:
9. Go running with the bulls $ 5.5 Million
10. Live with 50 cats for a year $ 5.5 Million
11. Shave your entire body $ 5.5 Million
12. Eat a donut off the floor of a subway train $ 10 Million
13. Fight an MMA pro for 2 minutes $ 55 Million
14. Eat a cockroach $ 100 Million
15. Live with 200 spiders for 3 weeks $ 100 Million
16. Skydive from space ... No Amount Of Money
17. Swim with sharks without a cage... No Amount Of Money
18. Do pull-ups hanging 20 stories in the air ... No Amount Of Money
19. Travel to mars... No Amount Of Money
20. Chug an entire bottle of Sriracha in 2 minutes ... $ 100 Million
I must live under a rock because I have no idea what a Sriracha even is. I think it is interesting that there are some things that people surveyed said they would not do for any amount of money. I would have to give that answer for more than a few things on this list myself! I also think it would depend upon what the penalty would be if you were to violate the arrangement.
