none of them... money can't buy happiness, nor buy ones way through the gates of heaven.

I'm not American, but I wouldn't have a problem giving up my Australian citizenship for ten million dollars. Especially if it was ten million US dollars. Though I'd probably do it for one million Australian.
I'd be okay with becoming a prostitute for a week, too. I probably wouldn't abandon my family, and I don't have any kids so I can't really comment on the adoption thing.

The ones about the family and the children are horrible!
They obviously do not care much about their home life, and should work on improving closeness and communication.
However, there are many places in the world considered equal with America, so the citizenship does not surprise me at all.
And I would become a prostitute for a week for ten million dollars too LOL.

Interesting indeed.
I have to wonder about the accuracy of this. I mean, can we be sure that everyone who answered was sincere? And besides that, it's all conjecture.
Unless the questioner actually managed to dupe them into believing they WOULD get 10mil, which is highly unlikely.
As for me, I would give up my citizenship....probably. It depends on what that means exactly. If it means I can move to Canada or some other reasonable English speaking country, I could do it.
I don't have kids, so my saying I would give them up is true, but not exactly accurate since I'm willing to give up something I don't have.
I'd never give up my husband. Being a prostitute .... having lots of sex doesn't sound that bad. Ok, let's be honest, it sounds FUN! But the reality of prostitution isn't about the high-class call girl life. It's about giving .... pleasure to creepy little men. Putting things in your mouth or other orifi that you don't even want to touch. So I'll pass.

I wouldn't give up my kids or family if I had all the money and all the power in the entire world, nor would I become a prostitute. I could probably give up my American citizenship, but I would still want to live here. Maybe on a work Visa or something.

None of the above.
My family means too much to me. My love isn't for sale.
I'm worth more than $10 million. My integrity is not for sale.
Why would I give up my citizenship in the greatest country in the world for some miniscule amount like $10 million? My patriotism is not for sale either.
I don't have kids, but if I did, my love wouldn't be for sale.

Well I might give up my American citizenship, but then I usually consider myself a citizen on Earth, not any specific country. Now I do not have any kids right now, but I would probably say I would never have any for that much money. Having kids has never been a big deal for me anyway.

Giving up my American citizenship is the only thing I would consider. I would go live in Italy or France. All the others are out of the question.

I'd give up my citizenship, ten million would get me situated in a somewhat more intellectual, less religious country, anyplace in Europe really. I'd be willing to do the prostitution thing as well but even still I'd have limits and rules (As Madonna said: don't be silly put a rubber on your willy!).

well...i'd thought about putting up my kids for adoption once..but that thought only lasted a couple hours. i had 4 children and they were REALLY acting up that day, but they straightened up and now they're grown. so strike that one...
i would never become a prostitute as i've had extensive back surgery. plus that's really, really nasty. so strike that one....
i wouldn't give up my citizenship because i love the USA and my son-in-law, nephew and adopted son are out there fighting for it too. so strike that one big time....
i would never abandon my family. in the end, that's all you need anyway. God, family, country. Live simply, laugh often, love much.

None.
1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
