You awake from a dream where a Ninja Space Cowboy Wizard gave you $5,000,000. What woke you up? Why, it's a Ninja Space Cowboy Wizard. He makes you an offer. You can choose one of the following three:
Wealth - NSCW gives you Fifty Billion Dollars. You will never be left wanting in this world. You can use your money to influence those around you.
Power - NSCW makes you superhuman. You are given super strength, speed, and can fly. You aren't invincible though. While you can take on entire armies alone, a few WMDs can take you out. You can use your powers for good or evil.
Talent - NSCW gives you the ability to become an instant expert at anything you do. You can be a musical virtuoso, an engineering genius, a sex god, or all of the above and then some. You'll be able to inspire those around you.
Of course some of these overlap. With wealth, you can dedicate your time to becoming talented or you can build your own iron man suit. With power, you can become wealthy, same with talent, but none are as good as the genuine article.
So which do you choose: wealth, power, or talent and why? What would you do?

Does the power option convey potential immortality? Like, could I die of old age? If not I'd pick that because, given infinite time, talent can be replaced by hard work, and if I was that powerful I really wouldn't have a use for money.
