Jay-Z’s answer was surprising to some. He said that he would rather have the money, because he feels that his wisdom is already available to everyone in his music.

“You got all that in the music for $10.99,” he said. “That’s a bad deal. I wouldn’t tell you to cut a bad deal. Take the $500,000, go buy some albums and listen to the albums. It’s all there.”

King was surprised by Jay-Z’s answer, but she said that she respected it. She also said that she thought the question was important, because it made people think about what they value more: money or experiences. The debate over whether it is better to have $500,000 or dinner with Jay-Z is likely to continue for years to come. But Jay-Z’s answer has given people a new perspective on the question.
