If you had a choice between bringing back any deceased loved one whether its a family member or a close friend that has died...or being the richest man in the world, which would you pick and why?

I would choose being the richest man in the world... and I don't think that's a self-centered choice at all. Why?

Look at how much it costs to save one person's life. Covering somebody's medical bills, providing food or shelter to a homeless person, feeding a starving child in Africa. Doing this, especially on a mass scale, is far out of reach for an ordinary person, but for the bank account I would have as "the richest man in the world" (let's assume on a total net worth of ~90 billion USD, going off Bill Gates' wealth of ~81.5) would be enough to save the lives of many, many people, even after considering all the things I would do for myself.

Yes, I would definitely miss some of my friends and family members who have died. I love them, and I wish they were still here. But, ultimately, the power I would have to perform philanthropic acts without even blinking just overtakes that.

Now that was a good answer.

money aint shit if u actually think about it.

Take the money and change the world for the better of man kind.

Pretty much what Hastur was saying is what I was thinking at first. I thought if I opted to save a loved one, it could only be for personal and selfish reasons whereas being the richest man in the world can afford me the opportunity to help so many more people, including generations of my loved ones yet to come.
However, I think there's an even deeper question hidden within this: which do we value more? A single life, or the increase in the quality of life for many people? Money cannot create life, neither can it buy happiness. To help people through philanthropy through feeding, housing and educating them will increase their quality of life but it will not necessarily make them happy. If we brought back a loved one, there's no telling what their quality of life would be either and they are bound to eventually die again....but at least they'll have LIFE. I say LIFE is worth more than all the money in the world, and not just the life of my loved one. Just life in general. It's something we cannot make (without using some other life), whereas anything money can buy is something we can make.
