This isn't really something we can try, but I suspect you'd get turned down some reasonable percentage of the time (2%-10%, say) with such an offer, by people who have "all the money they need." Since to me the utility of the first few million is vastly larger than the last 500 million, I'd offer 50% just to avoid that rare case.
- vacri 14y agoIf someone is turning down $50M because they have "all the money they need", why would they then accept $500M?
- overcyn 14y agoThe same reason, a normal person might decline $5 but accept $50 out of a pool of $100. 5% seems more unfair than 50%.
- vacri 14y ago"i have all the money I need" is a different reason to "that's hardly fair!"
- qu4z-2 14y agoIt's the combination of the two, I think. That's hardly fair... but I need the money => Accept. I don't need the money, but it's fair => Accept. It's unfair, and I don't need the money => Turn down.
