Ask HN: How much are you willing to pay to meet a very prominent person?

[_reza]

People have role models and they like to meet them in person, talk to them, take selfies and all other sorts of things. They might even stalk celebs anywhere they go to just get a chance to meet them. By celebs I mean tech entrepreneurs, political figures, actors/actresses, singers, tv personalities and ... . So, if you were to meet a prominent person for a 60 minutes talk(coffee/lunch/dinner/etc...), are you willing to pay?

Nothing. Define 'prominent'. Important to you or important to me?

There's no difference between this and the 'pay to play' payments to the Clinton Foundation.

How is this different than live performances people pay for?

Yea, Consider meeting Elon Musk for a lunch. You and him alone without anyone around. You could ask anything you want... It is something like 'Warren Buffett's charity lunch'.

I think I don't have enough money to interest Ol' Musky and he has more resources to spend his time on things that create more value.
