Wine, Women, and Song
Get a $50 credit when you place your first $150 order from Wine Access with this link. It is one of the best sign up bonuses online and wine is essentially a cash substitute because it can always be useful as gifts, even for people (like me) who don’t drink. Their standard prices are reasonable and there’s currently an extra 15% off at checkout on a wide selection. For one example of how you can use this sign up bonus, you could get a half a case of Wise Decision Pinot Noir which normally costs $330 for a net price of $100. You save 70% and can drink it or have generous house gifts for the holiday season.
Find the next Picasso on Masterworks (and get a $200 sign up bonus). Buy shares of paintings in their IPOs or use the platform to trade them in their secondary market. Higher interest rates have busted a lot of collectibles and the trading market is where you can take advantage of lower prices.
Royalty Exchange lets you buy and sell music royalties. You can buy all kinds of music including the rights to music from Shrek.
This asset earns from music written for the award-winning Shrek film franchise. The catalog generates royalties when the films air on TV, are streamed online, when this music is streamed in the films’ soundtracks and anytime the music plays on Shrek’s theme park rides.
The catalog includes royalties from the four feature films: Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, and Shrek Forever After. It also earns from the holiday TV special Shrek The Halls and any time this music is used in other TV, film, or commercial programming. For example, a scene of Shrek is prominently featured in the 2007 Will Smith movie I Am Legend. Subsequently, this catalog earns a public performance royalty when I Am Legend airs on TV or is streamed as well.
Most of my assets are in the general partnership of my hedge fund and most of the remainder are in public and private equities, but for diversification and a bit of fun, I also spend some money on wine, art, and music.
