      That’s not an unreasonable point, but we don’t actually know the distribution of income. We know she isn’t busting unions at her record label or exploiting slave laborers to play bass on her albums. Her success is a direct result of her effort, her performance, and her creativity. Nobody does it alone, but nobody is claiming she’s acted unethically (that I know of, but I admit I don’t really follow her in the news).

      I could be wrong. Maybe she’s a horrible person when you get to know her. We do know that Jeff Bezos is a horrible person.

      How do you know they don’t get their fair share? Again, do any of her staff and people actually feel exploited or are you just hoping they do?

      She recently gave her entire tour crew $50mm in bonuses. But beyond that, she’s a musical artist. Her music is the reason there’s anything coming in at all, and not all of them are involved in that part of it.
