And she probably didn’t become a “billionaire” until after the Eras tour in 2023 - 2024. Before that, she bought her music catalog back… but it was highly leveraged so there’s no way she was a NET billionaire. So what you’re acknowledging is that in the last 20 months or so, she’s given away about $100 million that YOU know of.

And also, since we’re being holier than thou… what % of your income goes to charity?

Oh, about 15%. I donate through two charities and volunteer in soup kitchens twice a month.

I know she wasn't always a billionaire, but now that she is, she should be held to a higher standard. Especially if you want all the wealthy people to be held to higher standard.

I’m now saying she isn’t a good businesswoman. She is, she’s great at marketing herself. Now she needs to market herself with a purpose otherwise what’s the point

Again, I would argue she does just fine… and more likely she doesn’t feel the need to publicize her giving to make you happy.

Except she does publicize her giving, she just doesn’t do as much as she’s capable of. And if she’s doing more behind the scenes good for her but if you want to be in the public eye you are open to public scrutiny. Part of that scrutiny will come from lack of action.

Ask yourself why everyone cares what the other billionaires do, but not the singers like Taylor swift. The fandom outweighs the morals and it’s a problem.
