The 18-second clip shows a fan spending a brief moment with Elizabeth Olsen during a meet-and-greet event. Olsen is best known for portraying Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as well as for her roles in films like 'Silent House' and 'Godzilla'.

While the interaction seemed like a dream come true for the fan, it was reported that he had paid $210 for this fleeting experience.

The video begins with a man approaching Elizabeth Olsen, who is surrounded by bodyguards as she waits for fans to capture a moment with her. As the fan stands next to her, Olsen greets him with a wide smile, and they pose together, with the actress placing a hand on his shoulder as they both smile for the camera.

The video is captioned with the text: "POV: You just paid $210 to meet Elizabeth Olsen for 10 seconds."

The clip was also shared on YouTube, where many viewers expressed shock at the brief exchange.

In the video, the fan says, "Welcome back to Texas," before revealing that they had appeared in the background of the miniseries' Love & Death', where Olsen stars as Candy Montgomery.

Olsen responded, "Oh no way, I love hearing that," before quickly moving on to the next fan.

After watching the brief video of Elizabeth Olsen's fan meet-and-greet, social media users had mixed opinions, with some opining that the amount was justified while others felt it was a tad too much.

One user wrote, "Definitely worth it, this year I recently started to go to conventions and meeting some of your fav actors makes your whole year." 

The second user commented, "Worth it 😌"

One person added, "I paid $340 to meet ewan mcgregor at Star Wars celebration and it was worth every penny!"

A user penned, "I’d get more from an autograph at their table than a photo." 

A user complained, "Photo ops get ya every time. You don’t actually meet them. You run in, stand by them, and are quickly shoved out."

A user wrote about Elizabeth Olsen, "She's so down to earth in person."

One TikTok user questioned, "Do you get an autograph at least?" 

Someone else wrote, "Ive opened for so many A listers and i will still never understand people paying to meet someone or people charging to be met. it blows my mind."

A comment read, "This is wild lol."
