As a millionaire i would definitely accept an offer to become a billionaire. When you already have enough for a carefree life, money becomes power instead and then you can exert your will on the world. I can definitely see how that is really tantalizing, especially nowadays where virtually everyone has an unspecified feeling of being powerless against the system.
