i recently found myself in a predicament between choosing money or beauty.
What would you pick?
all the money in the world or all the beauty in the world?

Beauty, hands down. The thing with money is that it is a numbers game, and numbers go on forever. It'll never be enough.
But beauty is eternal in the moment, and can last a lifetime.

But without money means no control. No control can mean no beauty. Thats where i am confused

Thats very simple.
If you have all the money in the world, then money becomes worthless.
If you have all the beauty in the world all the uglies are super nice to you 
Money is fiat, backed by nothing. No one will miss it if its gone for everybody. Beauty is a commodity like gold. If you have a monopoly on it, the whole world comes a knocking.

If I could choose beauty over say, 20 million dollars, I'd still take the 20 mil I'd go as low as maybe 1 million.

It depends on how broad your definition of beauty is. Beauty is a perception of excellence, something deep and spiritual connected to an understanding of the appreciation you have for a person, thing, or general concept. Beauty is personal thing, a heavy bias relating your feelings, and I feel that something that is the core of who you are and a focal point to your very enjoyment of life is only underestimated by a shallow or jaded opinion.

Beauty, if removed from one's life, would be relative to such feelings as admiration. You'd really relinquish your ability to find positive interations with the world around you? A life without beauty is a life without happiness. To me, picking money over beauty is like if someone asked you, "Would you rather never be depressed, or always have the cure for it?" It seems like a simple question but it's honestly quite revealing in how our individual values lie.

There are no requirements for beauty. Its a paradox because since i didnt pick beauty im automatically not in that label BUT that very well may be beuaty to someone else. So i pick the more static option.

Such a wise response.
