How much would you pay to become physically attractive?

As a 5'8 160lb ethnic (Indian/Arab/Asian) male I would genuinely forego like 5 years worth of earnings/bonuses to become a 6'6 260lb white Chad with broad shoulders, strong brow, huge jaw,  blue eyes and thick flowing hair. So like $750k - $2 mil before tax for this transformation.

Not only would I get WAY more respect in the office and be able to credibly push back on weekend work and BS work, I would also get a lot more client exposure and seniors would probably invest into my mentorship just through the halo effect.

The ROI on this would be paid back since it'll be way easier to date and marry a smokeshow smart girl from a rich family and good pedigree (private school + ivy) too. In the past year I have had like 4 dates most of which have fizzled out afterward.

A final consideration as stupid as it sounds I would feel and be way safer/less insecure in public without worrying about looking out of place in white-majority rich places or being "victim weight".

Assuming that you're not already tall, white and good looking (in which case all it takes for you to become a Chad is losing weight, working out and wearing nice clothes and having a nice haircut), how much would you guys pay to look amazing beyond what a dialled diet, workout routine and even plastic surgery or roids can give you?

Why did you write this "$750k - $2 mil before tax"? Cosmetic expenses are always after you get taxed and the money you have left over.

I feel like you could 100% just become physically attractive by adjusting things like your diet, exercise regiment, skin care routine, water intake, supplement routine, hair care treatment with hair serum and oil, dental care routine with toothpaste, tongue brush and floss with investment in Invisalign or braces, high-end perfumes, colognes, deodorant, well fitted clothes and wardrobe for different settings, well groomed hair (beard well kept, hair well kept), and so on.

Frankly, paying to change ethnicities seems a bit extreme and a resort only pursued when you've invested time and money to improve yourself. 

And on a final note, being 5'8 and wishing you were taller while half the world's male population is below 5'7 seems a bit absurd. Especially if you haven't sincerely improved your physique through consistency and dedication.

P.s. it's been done before, paying to improve your physical characteristics. Look at Elon before and after money or Mark Zuckerberg in university vs. now. The big difference is significantly prioritizing their health and spending (sometimes absurd) money on maintaining it.

Ya bro I'm totally competing in the dating market for rich attractive tall white girls with 70yo malnourished Indian grandpas who are included in that global average height. The average height of upper middle class white athletic guys in their 20s is closer to 6'1-6'1.5, which is my competition mix.
