    Good for her. She didn’t mistreat thousands of warehouse employees or spy on and manipulate three generations with social media to do it.

    I’m okay with her being the exception to the rule, as long as she doesn’t turn into a monster.

    It’s not hard.

    One of the things you’re all forgetting is that she’s a billionaire because of her catalog and music and stuff. She does not have a bank account with $1,00,000 sitting in it. I’m not saying billionaires should or shouldn’t exist, just reminding you that the valuation comes from intangible things that don’t have that value unless they’re sold to somebody. Her music is only worth what somebody wants to pay for it, if she even wants to sell it in the first place.

        That is my entire point. She doesn’t have a billion dollars to give out because she doesn’t actually have a billion dollars.
