  • KH: It's lonely at the top

    I mean, it's one thing to pay for companionship, but to pay for the companionship of someone bereft of any talent, taste or wit...well thats just Billionaire Problems.

    Cohen paid Fieri to drive around Connecticut with him to reenact a fantasy episode of “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives,” reveals Allen Salkin in his book, “From Scratch: Inside the Food Network.”But after “Cohen paid Guy Fieri $100,000 to be his friend for a day,” Salkin writes the odd couple became so close that the chef’s top-rated show even featured Cohen’s favorite hot-dog spot, the (perhaps appropriately titled) Super Duper Weenie. The popular joint in Fairfield, Conn., offers hot dogs at $3.75 a pop, guaranteed to get any hedge funder through hard times.

      He's a billionaire. $100k for him is like $10 for a normal person.

        Any dollar amount for the time of Fieri or any of his Food Network cohorts is a dollar amount too many.

              I would say Giada de Laurentiis would be the exception to that.

                        So is MRT jealous that nobody was willing to pay 100k to be his friend?

                            Let's make this thread more interesting. If you have enough money to blow in order to pay someone to be your friend, who would it be and would their be "benefits" involved?

                              If it's, "give them 100k because they are awesome", then yeah, I can see doing that.
