Jay-Z answers trending question: $500,000 cash or lunch with him?
Grammy-winning artist Jay-Z has finally broken his silence on the age-old social media conundrum: Would you prefer $500,000 in cold hard cash or a one-on-one lunch with the rap legend himself?
This question has been making the rounds on social media for years, spawning countless debates and discussions. And now, Jay-Z has weighed in with his answer. In an interview with CBS Mornings, he didn’t hesitate to say, “You’ve gotta take the money.”
This simple response left the interviewer, Gayle King, somewhat flabbergasted. She pointed out that many people would gladly pay for a chance to sit down with Jay-Z, hoping to glean some of the wisdom that transformed him into a billionaire. But the “Forever Young” singer wasn’t having it. He suggested that there’s a more cost-effective way to learn from him: just buy his albums.
“All that wisdom is right there in the music, and it only costs $10.99. Paying more for lunch isn’t a good deal,” he insisted.
He went on to emphasize that everything he wanted to achieve and the prophecies he made are all embedded in his music. He believes that if you listen carefully to the lyrics, you’ll find that he’s laid it all out there. He said, “Everything that I said was going to happen happened. Everything I said I wanted to do, I’ve done.”

His entrepreneurial acumen propelled him into the billionaire club.
Forbes estimates his current net worth to be a staggering $2.5 billion, making him one of the wealthiest figures in the world of music and entertainment.
