Remember Carrie fromSex and the City?

Her entire closet of Manolos only cost $40,000.

I have quite a few questions for you.

Of course, I cant reach you directly.

You do not want your name disclosed.

If Id spent money this recklessly, I wouldnt want my name disclosed, either.

Steve Jobs' old Birkenstocks

I didnt even want my friends to know I spent $[redacted] onJennifer Anistons favorite chemical peel.

You also may need to hide your identity to avoid someone breaking into your house and stealing them.

I wouldnt have thought crypto would ever look like agoodinvestment, but youre putting that theory to the test.

Theyre not going to go up another 100-fold.

Maybe youre not quite sure what $218,750 can buy you.

A quick Zillow search should clear that up.

For that amount of money, you could send a kid to a private college!

You could also have donated that money to charity.

Maybe youd be interested inBridging TechorLaptops for Kids, which offer computers to students in need.

Id also like to know your intentions for these shoes.

Surely you dont intend to wear them not only are they terribly expensive, but theyre kind of busted.

For significantly less money, you could buy shoes that look nice.

Remember Carrie fromSex and the City?

Her entire closet of gorgeous Manolos only cost $40,000!

Carrie was practically a penny-pincher by your standards.

Are you going to put them on some kind of pedestal?

Who but a bougie farmer would buy expensive Birkenstocks?

And if youarestarting a museum, will you be there when patrons visit?

If so, count me in.

Id like to chat in person.

I fear your reasons for buying them may go beyond the arts.

Is something creepier at play?

Are you hoping to channel Jobs spirit?

Is there a seance afoot?

(Pun intended.)

Ultimately, though, I want to ask you one question the question we all have.

Would you have made the same offer had they been Elon Musks Crocs?
