20 Hilarious Friends Spin-Offs (That Never Existed)

6. The One With The Obsessive Millionaire

Friends Promo 4
NBC

The rich head of a massive software company, Pete Becker was always described as a millionaire, but was presented by the show as more like a billionaire. Had Monica stayed with Pete Becker, her whole life might have been completely transformed.

Of course, she would have had to deal with Pete’s obsessive nature. This might have been the secret to his success (and you could argue that his persistence was what got him the girl), but his insistence that he could become a UFC champion caused them to break up.

He was a terrible MMA fighter - but what else might Pete choose to go after? In Billion Dollar Baby, Becker and his long-suffering staff pursue oddball vocations galore - deep sea driller, rodeo clown, astronaut, sword swallower, brain surgeon - as the ambitious, frustrated Pete struggles to find something that makes him happy.
