<p>i know there are a lot of greedy people in this forum - all you aspiring ibankers. but would you choose money or power? </p>

<p>Money - your so damn rich that you can't possibly dream about spending all your money. you're bill gates rich, except not as dorky and cheap.</p>

<p>Power - you're a big time mob boss of your state with about 20 underlings and more underlings under them. You spend the day in <em>insert ethnic</em> restaurant issuing orders and playing poker with your gangster buddies. Though powerful, you're not terribly well off. you make about 40k on the books and 100k through illicit means.</p>

<p>so which one would you choose and why?</p>

<p>MONEY</p>

<p>the other one is just stupid.</p>

3

<p>who has more power? Joe schmoe mobman..or Bill Gates? </p>

<p>Think of it more in this way..
Who would you rather be: President of the United States or the biggest campaign contributor to the party that is currently in power?</p>

<p>money wins hands down..because money is power.</p>

<p>yea def money is power, i mean, come on, serioulsy, who came up with "knowledge is power", how cheesy is that.</p>

5

<p>Money is power, dude.</p>

6

<p>i'd rather be Tony Soprano than Bill Gates. </p>

<p>life is more exciting plus you get to bang all kinds of fineass girls.</p>

<p>well if i had the choice................</p>

<p>Power wins easily over Money... </p>

<p>because if you're powerful, you get a type of respect, a real respect... anyone can win the lottery and become rich... but power is an amzing thing....</p>

<p>Power is not something that is just "usually" given.... its earned.. you create the level of power you're at.... its not just handed down ( in most cases)</p>

<p>I dunno.. its very hard to separate "Money" and "Power".. b/c most of the time they go hand in hand.. the richer you are.. the more powerful you are..</p>

<p>haha i dunno .. mayb i'll go start my own religion or somtin and create a following and manipulate all that choose to follow me... and i'll create a wristband saying "WWKD" K stands for Keith by the way.. haha umm i dunno... power over money.. simple as that.. money doesnt equate into happiness but FOR ME power does</p>

<p>I would take money... If the terms of having the big stash of money meant that I could have it without anybody really knowing... I think it would be cool to have a ton of money and nobody know... then you could do all sorts of good things for people and live wherever you'd like and basically really enjoy life without much stress... (what a nonsense dream huh?) I'd take it!</p>

<p>money.</p>

<p>who wants to be famous? freakin' paparazzi.. haha.</p>

<p>I would pick power. Although I do agree, that money is power, to an extent. But if you have power, you have the ability to make some sort of social change/impact, nothing can beat that =)</p>

<p>money can buy power therefore money takes the cake for example if you are a billionaire and you want to the boss of say x company well boom lets buy and you are the owner and there you have your power..so i would say money definitely would beat being a 100k mobster lol thats kinda ehhh</p>

<p>what a bad question to ask on a business forum :P</p>

<p>With money comes power (spending power, others as well). Power is nothing without money.</p>
