Rather than free, you should offer the most exclusive and expensive dong surgeries on earth.

You're both half right. You offer the most exclusive expensive penis enlargement surgury for free just for them, BECAUSE they're a billionaire.

Nothing rich assholes love more than getting expensive shit for free because of their privledge.

They want the most exclusive expensive version of things for the lowest cost. It’s fucking ridiculous bragging rights bullshit.

How I would love to offer an extremely exclusive and expensive product or service and have a billionaire approaching me trying to get it for free, to be able to say “Oh, I’m sorry, can you not afford it? We only offer this to people who have enough money to pay for it. I’m sure if you work hard, one day you’ll earn enough money to come back and give this a try!”

Nothing would hurt a fragile billionaire’s ego more than insinuating that they’re poor. Their entire lives and identities revolve around being rich and to take that away from them, even for a few seconds, would haunt them for many years to come.
