In a British survey, 2,500 children under age ten were asked, “What do you think is the very best thing in the world?”

The number one answer was “Money and getting rich,” followed by “Being famous.” “God” was number ten.

The poll, conducted by Luton First, sponsors and organizers of Britain’s second annual National Kids’ Day celebration, was carried out through schools and online questionnaires. The survey asked other questions, such as “If you were king or queen of the world, what rules would you make?”, “How much money do you think you will need to be rich?”, and “Who is the most famous person in all the world?”

A spokesman for Luton First stated, “The idea of the special Kids’ Day is to give pre-teens a national voice for their views and opinions in a very simple format,” adding, “This particular age group has some very clear ideas of how the world could be changed for the better.”
