I have fifty million, I must be rich...
Double me on that, I wont complain. Heck quadruple me, please.
My main villain has about 150 grand. Please do double that. It would be very nice.
I would think it'd be nice... Just explain that it's not "charity" in a negative sense (as in they're a bum)... It's "charity" in a positive sense (as in you're a giving sort of person)

I think it's funny that some folks think 3 million is a lot, and others think 30 million, or even 300.
Until about a year ago, the most I ever had on all my characters *combined* was less than 1 million. Then of course, the auction house changed all that. But still, my whole spread of characters is still "worth" less than 100 million, and that's with a LOT of sell-it-if-you-can't-use-it lucky strikes.
For my part, I never hesitate to allow people to give me more. I give it away at times myself, so it's all in motion anyway.

Not quite 500mil on my main, 400 of it due to a contest. About 300mil on her twin over on Justice, 250 of that came from the sell of 1 crafted IO.
I remember back when I was still on the trial, and some random hero came up and traded me 250k, for nothing. I thought I was rich. 
If i ever get 2bil on my hero ill take a screen shoot then have a CC for 200mil
-grumbles-
And people wonder why the market prices are up?
...
Spare us a coupla mil, guv?

If I ever get a billion influence, I'd hold a random series of contests and give half of it away. Really.

The first 5 accounts I gave 5m to.. all were trial accounts so they could only get 50k...
Only time i ever game money away was when I got a pvp IO and it sold for 600mill. I had a CC contest and gave away 75 mill in prizes.
The character I made at launch is my richest... with just over 100 million.
I'd love more. Really, I would.

Well, okay to be fair, my newer toons have WAY more inf on them than my older ones, because I soloed the older ones a LOT.

Basically if you team and do task / strike forces, I've noticed you tend to have a LOT more inf. I don't, still don't, so most of my characters are poor. They usually have enough to buy set fillers when I get a recipe drop or two that fits them. I haven't run out of money on anyone for a long while, but that's because I can still move stuff around with friends online now and then.

And of course you must be honest with yourself as to what you are actually saying.
Does "Want me to double that" mean:
- You are silly to think your accomplishment is actually worth much - let me demonstrate by carelessly doubling the amount you have earned out of my chump change. See how advanced I am as a player compared to you?
Or...
- That's well done. If it is agreeable to you, I would like to reward your efforts with additional inf, so you can buy something really nice for yourself.
For a naughty or nice analysis, it is important to try andanticipate how they hear your offer, but it is essential that you are ruthlessly honest with yourself about which end of the spectrum your offer tends towards.
Keep in mind that there is no body language, intonation, or anything but bare text to temper a remark in this medium.

Writer of In-Game fiction: Just Completed: My Summer Vacation. My older things are now being archived at Fanfiction.net http://www.fanfiction.net/~jwbullfrog until I come up with a better solution.
I tend to give a lot of my extra inf away as well, though I try to run contests whenever possible. Like The Mission Architect Player Awards. You could always help contribute.

I recently picked up one of my oldest characters, an AR/Dev I haven't played since ED. Yes, old timers start off poor as dirt- he was 35 or 36 and after dumping his hodge-podge of SOs and DOs in a respec he had around two million in seed money.|

Now he's 43, nicely slotted (cheap, good sets or frankenslotting) with a 250 mil bankroll, the vast bulk of it from selling drops (some crafted). He did dabble in flipping uncommons during the heart of the MA-generated salvage drought, but that was just for fun, he wasn't making any real inf from it.
And I solo nearly exclusively. I haven't run a TF in years except for a couple of pre-merit Katies (never got a good roll either). The inf piles up like crazy with minimal effort, whatever your playstyle.
Of course the nice thing is that we can have a great time on any budget- SO's still work great, a really nice IO build can be had for a few million, and 'the good stuff' is out there for players who develop a sweet tooth for l337 set bonuses.

Last time I decided to delete a mid-levelled toon, I did a couple respecs to clear him out, put a few things on the BM for 1 each, vendored the rest, then went to Kalinda and /info'd the newbies as they showed up. When I finally found one with no vet badges, I walked over and said hello in local. The conversation went something like this:|

Me: Hello.
Him: Hi.
Me: Are you on a trial or a full account?
Him: Full
Me: Excellent. *Send trade invite*
*He accepts*
*I dump 14 million in the trade window and hit "Trade"*
*He accepts*
Him: Thanks!
Me: /powexecname Self Destruction$$quit
30... 29... 28... 27... 26... 25... 24...
Him: Whoa.
23... 22... 21... 20...
Him: Holy Crap!
19... 18... 17... 16... 15... 14... 13... 12... 11...
Him: Thanks so much!
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
By the time I rolled my new toon, he was gone, so I didn't have a chance to reply. I hope that he stuck around though. Always good to have new players in the game.
@Roderick
I have no money problems on any of my toons anymore, and have done a ~2 billion build, and several 500+ million builds. All in all I have over 5 billion worth of stuff on all my characters. I've never managed to join the billionaire's club though. I can't seem to hold on to my money long enough. It's generally spent long before I get close to that amount of liquid cash. I often try to give away inf, either to lowbies, or through quick, random costume contests and I've run into the same thing the OP mentioned. Some people think you're trying to one-up them if you give them money.
What am I missing here?
I always end up broke as spit on my characters...
Recipes I get never seem worth anything. Is making ALL of them really worth it? Is salvage profitable?
I know my Main (See forum handle) is doing ok, slotting him slowly but steadily and all, and my Tanker isnt doing too bad...
But my high point was 20 million. Never ever got a purple drop, rarely got a rare that was worth anything, cant even dream of these 100,200 etc millions that people talk about...
And aren't the markets EU-US linked? So server shouldnt matter, irrc

Bid a few million for a bunch of tier-one inspires or some lowbie DO's.
Maybe some teen-level Pet Damage or Snipe recipes.
I'm sure the lucky recipients will appreciate the gift, although anyone reading the last 5 will whine "OMG I can't afford ANYTHING! The Market is evil from the marketeers and farmers and Positron and....<stupid rant>!"
But, being anonymous, you won't get pestered by beggar tells either.
