9% Of Men Would Leave Partner In Favour Of Extra Money

A new survey has revealed that 9% of men would end dump their current wife or girlfriend in favour of having some extra money.

The study, which was carried out by MINI, also discovered that one in 10 people would remain single for the rest of their life if it meant they didn't have to worry about money again.

Elsewhere, the results found that while many men do not like to spend time with their mother-in-law, a quarter would happily move in with her for a year for £1m.

However, this did not just extend to families, as 11% of men claimed they would also cut ties with their friends in exchange for a better bank balance. This figure doubled for women.

The findings are part of a study by MINI to see the lengths people would be willing to go to in order to get what they want. It marks the launch of the online 'Not Normal' auction, where money is banned; instead, bidders have to get creative and think of alternate ways – rather than cash – as to how they can be the owner of one of the cars.

Each bidder must pledge to do something out of the ordinary and the most inventive bid will succeed.

Michelle Roberts, General Manager for MINI Brand Communications said: "We've all sat with our friends and played that game where you challenge each other to see how far you'd each go to get your hands on something.

"But what surprised us is that it's no longer just banter – we found Brits are actually becoming much more enterprising about how they go about getting what they want."

The 'Not Normal' auction can be found via the MINI Facebook page.
