You just showed that you have no clue how money works.

You do not understand the difference between a million and a billion. A million seconds is like, what, 11 days? And a billion seconds is like THIRTY THREE YEARS

She’s hoarding just like all billionaires do and that’s why the music sucks. She’s cranking things out for charting and money and to break records not for the love of the art. And boy does it show.

What exactly is she hoarding? She doesn't have a billion dollars sitting in her bank account. A huge chunk of her net worth is tied up in the art that she created and that she owns the rights to.

Do you not understand how net worth works?

No billionaires have a billion in their accounts. Like. What the hell? Net worth is the assets minus liabilities. That’s the case for every billionaire.

All billionaires are unethical, including your favorite one. And they don’t have their money just sitting in banks. They keep it in non liquid places so they can leverage the assets for massive loans so they can avoid capital gains tax. It’s called buy, borrow, die.

Come on stop boot licking billionaires it’s gross.

You are the one that used the word "hording", so maybe you are not sure how net worth works. Hording implies that she has this wealth and therefore others do not, and that isn't consistent with reality.

Also, the whole "all billionaires are unethical thing" is repeated like it is a law of science, when it isn't. You should have an issue with unethical business practices sure, but there is no reason why a person is "unethical" simply based on their net worth. There is no logical reason why a person with $999.9 million is any more or less ethical than a billion with $1 billion.
