For the extremely thrifty, $400 can feed a family of four for a month. That sum, too, can buy you two feature-packed editions of Amazon’s Fire phone. Or a Fender Bronco guitar amp. Or a 42″ plasma TV. Or a 12-foot aluminum boat. Or… a selfie with One Direction member Louis Tomlinson.

Yeah, really. Tomlinson, who recently purchased a soccer team, the Doncaster Rovers, is hoping to raise cash for his newest enterprise. And to crowd-fund the team—he’s hoping to raise nearly $3.7 million to get the team back into Premier League contention—he’s selling selfies. At $250 a pop.

But that’s not the only thing he’s selling. For $365, you get a chance to be the team mascot. For a cool $22k, you get to sit in the VIP box—and if you’re spending that amount, you’ll get a 10-minute chat with the One Direction star, autographs, and photo ops. For a mere $20, you can get a message—surely, not personalized—emailed to you. What a steal!

But there’s a catch: Tomlinson, worth an estimated $23 million, only has time for less than 500 selfies. And, according to The Mirror, 323 fans have already signed up for the chance—so, if you’re looking for the selfie opportunity of a lifetime, it’s wise to act quickly. Now, onto the more pressing question: Would Drake sell selfies to get Kyle Lowry signed?
