How much money should I give a 18 yr old boy for his high school graduation?

I dont intend to go over the top here. What is a reasonable amount of money to go in a graduation card?
His parents are filthy rich and make much more than I do.

    I got $0 when I graduated and my younger sister got over $500. Without trying to be bitter, I think $40 is a good amount to give.

    ;-)

    Hmm, well I’m trying to remember back to what I got, I think mainly 20′s or 50′s. 20′s from close friends and distance family, 50′s only from the really close or rich people. Course I’m from a small town, where 20 bucks got you quite a bit.

    $20 sounds about right. Or even $15… he probably has so much money rolling in that he will not remember who gave him how much.

    If his parents are filthy rich, chances are that he doesn’t need your money. Get him something he doesn’t have – something thoughtful. How about a season pass to an amusement park? Or a cool gadget for his car? Something nice for his dorm room next year? A sky diving adventure or a flying lesson? Something that he wouldn’t normally get, but would definitely enjoy.

    i graduated last year and received some 20"s like a couple of 50"s and only alittle more from my parents, so i would say between 20$ and 50$ if a good amount depending on what u can offer at the moment and the person"s needs etc. u will know what is appropriate for you and him\her. and its the thought that counts anyways :)

    Doesn’t matter how rich his parents are. $100 spends the same everywhere you go. I’d say at least $100. If he’s your nephew or something close like that, maybe $150-$200.

    Or a gift card to Denny’s. You know, just whatever. ;)

    If he is a non-relative give him a card that wishes congratulations. If you know him well add $10. If he is a relative $40-60.
