I think I remember being told, years ago, that if we go into a black hole we would be infinitely long and thin. I like the thin part—would it also make me infinitely rich?

This seems to be the relevant bit.
As an infalling object approaches the singularity, tidal forces acting on it approach infinity. All components of the object, including atoms and subatomic particles, are torn away from each other before striking the singularity. At the singularity itself, effects are unknown; it is believed that a theory of quantum gravity is needed to accurately describe events near it.
Sounds like fun.

I am not totally certain, but I do sell ‘black hole credits’ on a sliding scale :^)
