Exactly.........with $20 billion I could build my own Mozart.

And improve on the model.  I'd add frickin' laser beams to Mozart's head.

The money for me.

And a lightningrodpiece, which is generally much more effective in combat than a codpiece.

Well, assuming you have electro-resiatance. If I stuck that rod out in a lightning storm I'd just end up electrocuting and neutering myself.

Oh, this is an easy one: since Mozart is the Britney Spears of classical music - and I don't want too much of that in my house - and since I'm already lucky how things turned out, I take Bezos' 10%!


Don't think Britney was able to memorize an entire opera from one listening experience as a kid LOL

Have you checked out Mozart's more esoteric stuff? There's a reason he is still considered the best.

In fact Mozart outsold most modern artists last year in terms of sales.


Yeah I believe he's the biggest selling classical composer these days by a far margin. Doesn't mean he's the best though.


But I do use that argument for the Beatles as the greatest musical artist ever, so I guess I need to be consistent... hard to argue Bach over Mozart when you look at the actual sales.

Hi,

I was thinking that if you could collect all the royalties for 500 years and then adjust for the times and inflation, that Bezos would not even factor in this discussion!

I’d probably take the money and start a fire. 20 million makes a fine bonfire and would most likely get a conversation going about the meaning of dough and why it is that we keep doing evil and entirely monstruous stuff in it’s name. Should be interesting methinks.

Hi,

Nahhhh ... you'll have more fun buying out a couple of the casinos in Las Vegas and retiring to the fine life of nothing ... just buy music all day and listen to it all day! Free food and everything else!
