I'm not very big on playing social networking games, but 'My Mad Millions' from AppsGenius might make me change my mind. The object of this game is to blow $300 million dollars as fast as you can.
You are encouraged to buy yachts, make bad bets on the stock market and even hire staff members with ridiculous salaries all in the name of spending your fortune. What sets My Mad Millions apart from others is that it actually pays you to play. The most active players of the game will earn a 20 percent stake in the game's revenue twice a month. Count me in.
