One in ten Americans say they would enter into a sham marriage, perform a sexual act on a stranger, evade taxes or snatch a purse for $100,000.
Everybody has a price.
And while that may not be entirely be true for many Americans, its the case for more than you may think.
Many Americans admit they would be willing to go to incredible, often horrible lengths for a big fat check, according to a new survey of 1,000 people conducted by OnePoll.com that asked respondents if they would commit questionable acts for money.
The most startling stat showed that 6% of people including a whopping 12% of men said they would be willing to commit murder for $1 billion, while one in ten would be willing to commit arson, treason, armed robbery, mug someone with a weapon or even assist a suicide.
For $1,000, 15% of people were willing to shoplift or bet on a fixed sporting event. For 13 of the 1,000 respondents, the price is enough to convince them to murder, but fewer were willing to poison a stray animal.

One in ten Americans would commit credit card fraud, punch a stranger in the face, smuggle drugs over the border or even star in an amateur porn video.
One in five are willing to steal a street sign, shoplift or flash a stranger for $10,000, while one in ten are willing to lie under oath, steal a bike or knowingly spend counterfeit cash for the same price.
For $100,000, 25% of people to swipe a street sign, but it is also enough for one in five to forge a signature or steal from a restaurant or hotel. And for that same amount, one in ten say they would enter into a sham marriage, perform a sexual act on a stranger, evade taxes or snatch a purse.
And for a cool million bucks, one in ten Americans would commit credit card fraud, punch a stranger in the face, smuggle drugs over the border or even star in an amateur porn video.
For $100,000,000, a quarter of people would be willing to donate sperm or eggs without their partner's knowledge, forge a signature, lie to police and steal a bike, while one in ten would kick a kitten or puppy, take performance enhancing drugs to win a sporting event or beat up a stranger.

6% of people including a whopping 12% of men said they would be willing to commit murder for $1 billion.
Fifteen percent of people surveyed would even be willing to fake their death for that amount of cash.
Men were much more likely to be swayed by money into doing questionable things in some cases two or more times more likely, according to the survey. For example, men were nearly three times more likely than women to perform a sex act on a stranger for $1 million or $1 billion, nearly four times as willing to commit murder for the top price and four times as likely to kick a kitten or puppy.
The number of people willing to participate in certain crimes increased with the number of zeros at the end of the price. At the $1,000 mark, only six percent were willing to pose nude for a magazine, but by the time the price reached one billion, 22% were up for the task.
The widely varied moral compasses of respondents to the survey was apparent when they were asked to share their own personal thoughts on committing questionable acts for money.
As you can see by my answers, money will buy just about anything, wrote one respondent. If I was driving and a bag of money fell out of the back door of an armored car I know I would stop and pick it up but I do not know right now if I would turn it in to the police station, another respondent said.
Murder was voted by far the worst act one could commit, followed by poisoning someone's pet, treason, framing someone for murder and arson. Shoplifting was considered the lightest crime.
And when it comes to people close to us, 15% of Americans are more likely to betray a friend for money than even extended family members and much less close family members. They were least likely to betray a son or daughter or a grandparent.
