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.

Singapore’s “Buffett” Dinner 💸 S$18,900 for a Meal – Would You Do It?
What can S$18,900 get you in Singapore? Wealth manager Ng Tse Meng chose to spend it in an extraordinary way—on a private dinner with DBS’s new female CEO, Tan Su Shan. If you were as wealthy as Ng, would you spend S$20,000 for a high-value networking dinner? Or, what would you do with S$18,900?
