What’s really important is that it’s impossible not to be a bad person and a billionaire. I like her music but being a billionaire means that she is an enemy of society. Period
Say you work on a team with, say 50 people. Everyone works hard to generate money, but you’re the star of the show, so naturally you get to keep a little more of that money than everyone else. The question is, how much? Is it morally questionable to make double what everyone else does? What about 10x? What if you keep half for yourself, meaning those 49 other people combined make the same as you? Not enough? What about 100x as much as everyone else? 1000x?
Taylor Swift’s salary is about 1,700x the average in the music industry. People on her team are likely struggling to make ends meet or pay for hospital bills or support a family. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift is hoarding money like a fucking dragon.
It’s not really a problem that can be solved though. Should Taylor Swift’s team earn 2x more than Kanye’s? They possibly already earn above average what one usually would by supporting someone else.
She is obviously not going to refuse what people are willing to pay for her. Earnings for world famous musicians and actors always has and will be ridiculous.
The problem can be solved through progressive tax reform. Check it out:
The tax rate on the ultra-wealthy has decreased tremendously since the 70s. By making billionaires pay their fair share and closing tax loopholes, we can make huge improvements to wealth inequality and fund social programs that help people who need it most.
Looking at your comments I can see you’re just a troll but if actual humans are reading this: there are exactly zero moral billionaires. It is not possible to be a billionaire and be a good person at the same time. You do not have to know what’s in their heart or whatever the fuck this idiot is trying to say. You can’t earn that kind of money without hurting and exploiting people and if you keep that amount of money you are actively harming society. End of story.
Lmao and the people hoarding incalculable wealth that they’ll never ever be able to spend in multiple lifetimes are for sure helping us progress as a species.

what makes you think it’s impossible? it seems unlikely but I wouldn’t say impossible

most bilionares are good people. Some are not though.
Nobody that has exploited and hoarded billions of dollars from society for their personal benefit are good people.
Some can be. You dont know all billionares
Don’t have to, it’s not possible to hoard that much wealth while people starve and be considered ‘good’.
It is possible. You dont know enough to make that judgement.
Self awareness isn’t your strong suite, is it?
its stronger than yours, clearly
You don’t know all billionaires. You can’t say that they’re not all evil.
I’m assuming Elon is a “good” billionaire?
They’ve spent more money than you’ll ever make convincing you of that.

Not really true at all. Judgemental people like you are the reason we cant progress as a species.

Get real.
