If I had S$18,900, I wouldn’t spend it on a single dinner, but I see why Ng did. A private meal with Tan Su Shan
$DBS Group Holdings(D05.SI)$ isn’t about the food—it’s about influence, knowledge, and connections. For someone in finance, the value of that conversation could far outweigh the cost, just like Buffett’s charity lunches.
Personally, I’d rather use that amount to grow my portfolio or fund a meaningful experience. S$18,900 could strengthen my investments, serve as a property down payment, or sponsor a long overseas trip. To me, compounding or lasting experiences bring more value than one extravagant night.
Still, I admire the boldness of going straight to S$18,000. It shows how much people value access to leaders who shape industries. If I reach that level of wealth, I might also pay for such a chance—but for now, I’d prefer to let that money work harder in the market.
