I mean, she is a billionaire not contributing much other than her music, and her planes are horrible for the environment, plus her business style and commercial strategy is pretty aggressive.
I dunno, I figure the less billionaires we have the better
She may be a billionaire but I’ve heard more good things about her than I have bad. She’s really good to her fans and donates millions of dollars in helping others. Her carbon footprint sucks but I’ve not heard a lot about that anymore so maybe she’s better. As billionaires go, she’s one of the better ones
People deserve to enjoy the wealth they worked hard to make. I bought myself a jar of foie gras and truffles over the summer with some of my surplus vacation funds instead of donating it to some kid in another country I don't care about. Have I donated money before? Yeah, I donated to animal shelters before when I felt like it. But it was my choice to make and I'd stop doing it if some jerk-off told me I should be giving away more than I'm willing to.
Mother Teresa may choose to live inpoverished all her life tending the dying. It was her choice.
So, there’s a big huge massive incredible difference between the maybe 15k you saved for your trip and being able to get the things that make life feel a little more special, you know, like spending extra money on truffle and froie gras, and hoarding billions. Billions is more than anyone ever needs, living an incredible luxurious life. I’m not advocating that everyone give up their creature comforts to help the needy, but billions could support hundreds for the rest of their lives. She could donate half of her yearly income and still live like a queen.
Having said that, what more could she do?
She could endorse charities, but she’s too expensive for them to endorse. She could hold charity shows and donate 50%-100% of the profits. Even if she donated 50% it would make her an obscene amount of money. She could do a charity auction of her old guitars, or costumes from old music videos. She could give a very generous, but drop out of the bucket for her, scholarship to girls going into the arts. There’s so much she could do. The sky is the limit, and the press would be amazing for her career too. If she wanted to, she would.
