Is there anyone living you would pay $16k to eat lunch with?
I saw some blurb on ESPN about a guy paying more than $16K to have lunch with the old Redsox GM. I think this is crazy myself (i'm sure its going to charity so I guess that makes it better)
I was trying to think of anyone living today that I would spend $16k to have a one on one lunch with. I'm having a hard time because I don't really see it being that great of an experience. Sure it would be awesome to be able to completely pick someone's brain or develope sometype of networking or friendship with them. But I just don't see either of these things happening in these situations. Rather I think you get 45 minutes of small talk and a handshake. The closest I can come up with is perhaps with an author I really like? I think the chances of having a really interesting conversation are at least decent and he/she probably wouldn't be so famous as to be completely unable to relate to you. Thoughts? |

i think lunch with Kurt Vonnegut might be worth 16k
or Igmar Bergman. if Kieslowski was still alive, then he'd definitely be worth it. |

Haruki Murakami or Salman Rushdie [/ QUOTE ] this is really pretty funny since i turned down eating lunch with salman rushdie.... my gf's roomate in college was going to eat lunch at him since he was giving a speech at my school. She and her aunt were going to have lunch with him since her aunt knew rushdie from somewhere in their past.... didn't want to be the 3rd wheel...(4th wheel in that case) |

I would pay 16k to meet Osama Bin Laden for lunch, but the only thing he'd be eating is lead.

Then I'd be fashionably late. Hello $25 million. |
