[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (2 children) Maybe not the first, but I'd want to make sure her music talent was part of the deal, otherwise its all downhill from here. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) She has more money than she can spend in her lifetime. If she quit singing today it wouldn't be downhill for her. So I think you'd be fine without the talent. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yeah but waking up as a proficient multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter would be part of the fun, I imagine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) True, but I'd just take the billion dollars and live with the solace that I didn't have the talent of Taylor Swift. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I guess I mean that in this thought experiment it's about waking up as Taylor Swift, not as some random billionaire.

I can see why. If you're going to do Earth, Wind and Fire, you gotta put some stank on it! permalink fedilink source parent [–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Could use her financial knowledge as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (3 children) When you have as much money as Taylor Swift, you don't need financial knowledge. I struggle to think of how I would spend 1.1 billion dollars. Obviously a really big telescope and the best camera money can buy, but that still leaves me with approximately 1.1 billion dollars to spend permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) When you have that money you need some financial literacy or else people in my old professions will separate your money from you quite quickly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago You're the 1%, you probably have the money to separate their heads from their bodies in a back alley in Saudi Arabia somewhere permalink fedilink source parent [–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) If you're going to stay in her line of business (which you presumably wanted to given the person I responded to wanted her talents) you're going to get bled dry pretty quickly if you don't mind both your finances and who you surround yourself with. Taylor Swift knows what she's doing in both regards. If you're just going to retire and live off capital gains you'll need less, but you would need to spend some money on security as well, because you're still rich and famous, and a lot of people want a piece of that pie. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago With my lifestyle and sense of fashion she'll/I'll be unrecognizable in days permalink fedilink source parent [–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Throw enough money at something and you'll get some satisfactory results.
