Billionaire Michael Saylor Says Skip College and 'Spend $20 a Month on an AI Subscription,' Warns Not to ‘Learn How to Do Things That AI Can Do'

Michael Saylor was asked a narrow question near the end of a long interview: What should a 25-year-old with a few hundred dollars actually do with it? His answer skipped the stock market entirely and went after the university system.

“I wouldn't go spend $500,000 on an expensive university education, but I would spend $20 a month on an AI subscription,” the Strategy (MSTR) co-founder said on The Diary Of A CEO, published on Aug. 6. Saylor then put a ceiling on it: “$200 a month is the most I would spend, $20 a month is probably the least I would spend. But look, we're talking about your Netflix (NFLX) subscription at that point.”
