What would happen if an individual literally has all the money in the world?

That depends on the person. The power of money is weak when it is not being used. Personally, money is the creator of the massive criminal activity going on the world today. Take money out of the equation then we might be able to end all the suffering because of the need to feel good. I feel good when I make someone happy and that usually is due to helping them with something. That is where my head is at.

Money would be worthless. The reason being is that all of the other people would have figured out how to survive with out money! However, I do feel that the oil companies are trying to put this theory to test with the high fuel costs and overwhelming records they are gaining in the stock market.

A person who has all the money in the world would have all the power in the world. I'd bet that there would be a lot of people out there that would be homeless or starving because he would be the only person who had money to buy things. Then again, once he started to spend his money, then the money would trickle down, but it wont' really help those at the bottom rung. I know that when dictators of a country have most of the money, the people really suffer.
