💎  5 Tweet Tuesday 💎 

My favorite 5 tweets of the week. Let’s dive in:

#1 💎 

Damn.

Putting this tweet first is like a waiter coming over to your table and instead of giving you a menu he pours tequila in your mouth.

#2 💎 

San Francisco is a cool place because the billionaires dress like they are homeless and the rich geniuses spend money like idiots.

I love it!

By the way - why stop at $30k? Why not $300k? $3M? If you’re a VC, you’ve pissed away a million dollars on worse investments.. 

My favorite parts of the article: 

• Her own name is completely generic (Taylor Humphrey) 

• If you buy the VIP package, it comes with a genealogist and a ‘brand consultant’ 

The website says “the only limit is your imagination!” – actually, if you’re paying someone $30,000 to name your baby, I’m pretty sure you’re severely limited by your imagination.

#3 💎
