I was thinking, with the inspiration of Jerry Springer, what if everybody in the world got together and sent one person a dollar. That person would be a billionaire, then everyone would send another dollar to another person making them a billionaire. And so on until everyone was a billionaire.
Am I missing something or is this really doable?
Same sort of idea as the S2K Land thread

 

There are more people in the world than I have dollars, and I think I'd be so far back on the list that I would run out before the "lottery" hit me.

Plus, I think what you're talking about is communism.

 

LOL im not a commie
Yeah i guess it wouldnt work unless you left the richest people to get the dollar bill last

 

if everyone sends $1 to each person on earth then each person needs to have $6billion. So each person would be a multi-billionaire to begin with.

also, more importantly, if everyone is a billionaire, who's gonna work?

 

the mexicans?

i joke.

 

 

I always had this same idea but on a smaller level to give one person like 30,000 to make their car sick, but the turn around for everyone won't be that great.

And you dont have to be a multi-billionaire. A dollar a day is 364 dollars a year, I think the average person could afford that right?

 

That's the stupidest thing i heard today.

 

so we came up with the lottery, but check this out:

...so we'll make a list. ten people send me $100 and your names go on the list. you each find ten people, they each send you $100 plus $100 to me. they get the same deal, where they look for people. so, you only give $100 once, the next level and future levels give it twice, and everyone involved gets $1000 the first round and $10000 the second round. great idea, huh? so who's in?

 

i call first to receive money!!

yeah well i guess that's fine...until you think about how many people in the world there are. 365 days in a year. let's say avg person lives to 85 (probably not even close, but let's be conservative). then that's 31,025. 6 *billion* people (not taking into count anything like more people being born, etc). using that algorithm, you can pretty much count on dying before you are the person that receives the $6+ bil lotto check. and having to pay out $31k+ during that time. not to mention all of the other shortcomings of this plan.
