What does Taylor spend money on? Since she's still a billionaire I'm guessing she doesn't give it all to charity.

I'm so so on this example specifically.

Most of Taylor's wealth is in the value of the rights to her songs. The liquid value she gets from those rights she is generally pretty generous with, she pays her employees very well and donated quite a bit of it.

That said, the bar is on the floor, and even a good billionaire is still pretty bad. She has much to improve

Ask yourself how that billionaire was made first

Ruthless espolitation of the working class and then portected from said working class by armed guards (ploice) and their apparatchik (judical system) , paid for mostly by the working classes.

Empire is devaluing its currency so fast that we'll all be billionaires soon.

There's vastly worse billionaires than Taylor Swift. Idk what Swifties on Lemmy you're trying to trigger. Thompson wasn't even billionaire but I'd say he was worse than Swift.

I would go so far as to say: they will never be a good billionaire, unless that means a median income in a poor country

A picture can express a thousand words, and leave out a billion others.
