    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.

      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.

        Yeah but waking up as a proficient multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter would be part of the fun, I imagine.

          True, but I’d just take the billion dollars and live with the solace that I didn’t have the talent of Taylor Swift.

            I guess I mean that in this thought experiment it’s about waking up as Taylor Swift, not as some random billionaire. Like waking up as Elon Musk seems like it would be a lot more boring than waking up as a talented musician.

              True.

              In that case, I would use my talents to switch to Funk.

                  Well she countrified it. I can see why.

                  If you’re going to do Earth, Wind and Fire, you gotta put some stank on it!

      Could use her financial knowledge as well.

        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

          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.

            You’re the 1%, you probably have the money to separate their heads from their bodies in a back alley in Saudi Arabia somewhere

          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.
