Somewhere between $4.50 and $45,000,000.

What are you worth?

"The survey found that a fertile woman could sell 32 egg cells over eight years for $224,000; however, for a man to earn the same amount, he would have to make 12 sperm donations a month for 20 years."

Thanks for the link, pahleh.

Wow, when I think of all the money I wasted over the years

I really found the link very informative and interesting pahleh! Thank you for sharing it. I also added to your reputation points for it. I seriously think members are forgetting to add to each others reputation when someone adds a great post. I will try to remember to do more of this in the future.

Anyways, thanks also to Dave for starting this thread.
