Half of America Would Leave Their Partner for $1 Million?

In a new poll that’s both fascinating and slightly terrifying, 43% of Americans say they’d be willing to call it quits with their current partner in exchange for $1 million.

So, not marrying into money… we’re talking cold, hard cash to walk out of a relationship.

The survey, conducted by StudyFinds, seems to confirm what your inner cynic already suspected: love is priceless… but apparently it can be negotiated.

And that’s just the beginning. The study dove deep into the kinds of moral gymnastics people would do for a serious payday, and the results are pretty eye-opening (and in some cases, jaw-dropping).

For starters, 40% of respondents said they’d accept a cool $33 million, even if it meant financially destroying someone else. Another 46% said they might consider it… depending on who got torched in the process. (So… sorry, Dave from accounting?)

The poll also revealed that for the right amount of money, Americans are surprisingly open to all sorts of things:

  • 46% would compete in a real-life “Squid Game” for a chance at $33 million, despite the fictional game’s infamous 99.8% fatality rate.
  • 41% would give up sex entirely for $1 million.
  • 59% would ditch all tech and live off the grid for that same amount.
  • 15% would even frame a friend for a crime they didn’t commit. Which is, dark.

And the line in the sand? Social media, of all things. Because 21% of people said they’d actually turn down $1 million if it meant losing access to TikTok or Facebook. (Let that one marinate.)

Some other deal-breakers:

  • 54% said “no thanks” if their parents had control of the money.
  • 38% would hesitate if accepting the cash meant an enemy would also benefit.

The results paint a picture of a nation torn between capitalism and conscience. Maybe inflation is messing with our priorities. Maybe it’s just good old-fashioned human nature. Either
