Social Dinner with Jay-Z or $500K

[Alphaboy]

If you've been on the internet lately, you've probably seen that debate that was going around: "Would you rather get $500,000 or sit down to have dinner with Jay-Z". The implication being, sitting down with someone as noteworthy and influential as him would be far more valuable than half a million dollars.

Jay-Z answered the question himself in an interview with Gayle King, stating one should take the money, "You've got all that [wisdom] in the music for $10.99."

To me, this debate is silly. Lol.

I don't know who in their right mind would turn down half a million dollars to have dinner with him (or any person for that matter!)

Now I've heard the idea before of "you can get far more value sitting down with a billionaire than you would from x amount of money!"

First of all, while I think it'd be wise to listen to ANYONE in Jay-Z's position on financial matters, I don't think there is anything he can say that would just be absolutely life-changing, same with if you sat down with Warren Buffet, or Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc.

I think anything worth saying about success, rich guys have already been saying for centuries. Jigga (Jay-Z) has obviously excellent work ethic - that's something that can be modeled, combined with, of course, amazing talent - not everyone can get that! I'd say anyone prominent in Hollywood would also have a huge slice of luck in the pie graph of success... Jay Z himself said in interviews he could've been in jail or dead if he was unlucky.

Anyway, I just thought it was a funny debate and those are my thoughts on it. I think anyone pretending they'd turn down the money is virtue signaling or being disingenuous. Hell, get 500k reach out ot his people and pay a quarter mill to have sit down with Jay Z... surely even he wouldn't turn that down, right?

[SalvadorAllende]

The money for sure.

 

[Ladder Master]

How about I receive 250k and get to suck on Beyonce's tits.

 

[Contempt]

I wouldn't know the guy if I fell over him so the money easily... not even close.

Only a retarded fanboy would even consider that option.

 

[VulcanNervPinch]

Pffft.

I'd take the 500k
I'd take 50k
I'd take 5k

Maybe for $500 I'd go with the dinner.
But It'd better be somewhere really close to me.
And expensive.
With reservations in his name.
And free parking.
Valet and waiter tip paid for.

 

[milliniar]

Maybe if Beyonce got to have her way with me for dessert.

But 500k please.

 

[surgeyou1]

Not sure how the dinner could possibly be worth more than 500k unless you are an artist who can convince him to sign you to a multi million dollar deal.

Lmao. Dude is considered by many to be the GOAT rapper. I'd probably sacrifice a few grand because you cannot put a price tag on certain experiences. But after a while it'd be a bit ridiculous turning down money to have dinner with a dude.

I think it'd be something cool to have done many years later. For example, if you asked some old heads if they'd take $5k or could have had dinner with Bob Marley which would they say?

 

[Iron Mang]

Definitely take the $500k. I’m probably in the minority here, but I never liked Jay-Z beyond the Reasonable Doubt album.

 

[Satanical Eve]

GOD WHAT A CLASSIC BANGER OF A TRACK!

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Id take $50
