On the flip side, who is benefitting from her billions, other than herself and her immediate family?

While billionaires are scum, a good chunk of their money is tied up in businesses that keep tens/hundreds of thousands of people worldwide employed.

I like Taylor Swift, but I don't know her well enough to know if she actually is the exception to the rule. None of us do. The real question is "what does she need $1b for?"

I mean, you also have a point.

I'm gonna side track a little, but it's actually super cool how many people we meet these days that are more class conscious. I feel like when I was younger people instantly idolized the rich for no good reason.

I forget what podcast was, maybe Cognitive Dissonance, but the hosts were talking about extreme wealth, and made an argument that maybe society should cap that shit. So, for example, if you make a billion and 300 million dollars a year, that 300 million automatically gets transferred to government social programs to help the community around you. It seems harsh at first, but when you stop to consider how much a billion dollars is, and how it's basically impossible to spend that much money, and just having that much money automatically generates millions more for you everyday, there's no point to having more than that. There is no thing you can buy that costs more than a billion dollars, unless you're buying up entire companies. Doing something like that would act as a breaking mechanism to prevent run away wealth disparity like we have now.
