A new poll asked more than 1,000 people about 20 intangible things, and had people say whether they thought money could buy that stuff: “To a great extent,” “to some extent,” or “not at all.”
Here are the results, ranked from the MOST buy-able to the least:
1. Political influence. 10% say it can’t be bought. 85% say it can, to varying degrees. (60% say money can buy A LOT of it. 25% say it can buy SOME.)
2. Social status. 12% say it can’t be bought. 86% say it can.
3. Fun. 12% say it can’t be bought. 85% say it can.
4. Career success. 17% say it can’t be bought. 78% say it can.
5. Legal immunity. 19% say it can’t be bought. 71% say it can.
