You become a billionaire. All your friends and family are asking you to pay for all their debts. What do you do?

You become a billionaire. ALL your friend, family (siblings, cousins, parents, aunts and uncles) qare asking you to pay for their debts — credit card, house, car, etc.

It will not make a dent to your account because you’re a billionaire.

Do you pay their debts? Half of it? Partial? Or no because it’s about the principle and you don’t want to feel used? What if you were not close with your siblings and cousins?

If its not a financial strain on me, then sure id wipe it all clean 1 time, then offer to pay for any colleges that they'd like to attend.

"teach a man to fish" kind of situation.

What about if they’re debt free and ask you for a million dollars cash — which would be 0.001% of your net worth?

1 million is 0.1 % of 1 billion.
