Where’s my billion dollars for working a normal amount of hours?
Comment on Taylor Swift among 141 new billionaires in ‘amazing year for rich people’
RGB3x3@lemmy.world 5 months agoHer shows are actually an insane amount of work, and it’s obvious when you watch them. My wife is a huge fan, myself not so much, but I can at least admit that her talent is undeniable.
She does 3-hour shows Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, then does it again the next week, and she’s been doing that for over a year. It’s honestly nuts.
And even between all those shows, she’s releasing a new album. If anyone actually works for her wealth, it’s Swift.

Yeah, no one should be a billionaire but she is putting in some work. I could not do what she does and I respect her for it, even if I categorically disagree with the concept of someone accumulating that much proportional wealth.

I guarantee you the average carpet installer works harder and is more deserving of billions. I’m not saying she doesn’t have talent or doesn’t work hard but the money that goes to her and other billionaires could actually help society but instead becomes a useless horde or pays for yachts and jewelry.

Hard disagree. She’s worth something but it ain’t billions.
No one should be worth billions. :(
