Would it? We're talking an absurd amount of money.
You can do nothing all day, or you can already "do nothing all day" right now?
You can get two chicks at once, "the type of chicks that would go for a dude like you with money".
You can feed the homeless, get rid of diseases and spend towards world peace?
How would this mountain of money makes YOU happy?
EDIT: Sorry guys, I'm not looking for a disccusion of the virtue if "money can buy happiness", I merely ask will it buy YOU happiness, personally.
EDIT 2: My take on things
I've seen some very valid arguments in this thread regarding the virtue of whether money can buy a person happiness. I think it's up to the individual to define their meaning of happiness, and if money would allow them to increase that level or happiness.
Having a ton of money would give me choices, choices that I may have never had before. Of course I will chose to do what's best for me, regardless of situations, and that will bring happiness. If I don't have to worry about consequences (legal contraints withstanding), then I don't think there are any problems that money can't fix. In the course of persuing happiness with this mountain of money, and you run into someone that can't be bought, why bother? Go buy someone else. Again, money would give you this power to chose.
Regarding personal issues, I can also chose to deal with them or not, just like how you would when you DON'T have the mountain of money. But sometimes, having that mountain of money would give you the confidence in making better decisions. In short, having a mountain of money would definitely makes me a bit happier. The problems that can't be fixed, won't be fixed with any amount of money. So regardless if you have this mountain of money or not, those problems remain; but having this mountain of money would certainly increase your happiness in other aspects of your life. Tangible problems with having lots of money is negligible, and I rather be miserable sitting on a mountain of money, than miserable sitting on a sidewalk.
