Sometimes, one tweet has the power to cause countless arguments, and that's exactly what @profitwithant did when he explained that dinner with Jay-Z would be worth more than $500,000 in cold, hard cash.
The debate is one that comes around every so often, and essentially boils down to short-term versus long-term success (of course, there's a lot of long-term success you can achieve with $500k).
As the tweet explains, Jay-Z would theoretically be able to pass on "knowledge & expertise" and give people "the blueprint on being wealthy and successful". Sounds great, right?
I’ll explain since most can’t comprehend
Dinner with Jay-Z is the better option over $500K because of the knowledge & expertise he has. He’ll give you the blueprint on being wealthy and successful. His knowledge will be worth more long term than the short term $500K.

Of course, people had some opinions on this - especially given $500k is a lot of money... Personally, we're taking the $500k every day of the week - sorry Jay-Z.
We've collected some of the best responses to the prompt to help you try and make up your own mind on what you'd do. There's no easy answer (at least for some people), so hopefully this helps.
Well, we have always wondered about the Z...

What if he starts rapping at dinner?
[at the dinner with Jay-Z I gave up $500k for]

If you're choosing the dinner, this comic makes for uncomfortable viewing.

Who says Jay-Z hasn't been in the same position?
"Jay-Z, how do I become rich like you?"
"Well, when I was young, I was given the choice between $500k and dinner with a famous musician. Obviously I went with the $500k..."— the twink with no name (@postingtwink) September 3, 2021
