Help with situation: MBA vs Masters of Computer Science

Currently a Finance major w/ value investments concentration & computer science minor.

Been grinding CS and been loving it.

My plan is to grind in CS while working for an ER firm/Hedge fund business (1-2 years). Then get my MBA or a Masters of Comp Sci. at an IVY, preferably columbia.

From there I can work in the hedge fund business for 1-2 years; Tech focused long/short HF, while creating some sort of tech. on the side. In my mid 20s I can transition into Software Engineering if I wanted to as well. Atm, I own a blockchain Investments company +120% return in 2 months, and hope to be a manager and developer for the firm depending on where it goes (we have 2 developers atm.)

I need a masters/Masters of Computer Science because not only will it make me look reputable, but also because my family were literally immigrant farmers, and I want to take my family's reputation to the next level.

Thoughts?
