She also has a giant amount of people she pays with those earnings. Not saying she isn’t filthy rich, but she is an artist, writes most of her own words and music, and fought really hard to get compensated for it.

I respect her for all of that. She probably also does a ton of charity. What she does is not easy. Most people can’t even write a verse/chorus/verse/chorus lyric that works, let alone piano and guitar. Actually make it so other people enjoy it, and perform that shit night after night all over the world. That’s a shit ton of traveling, setting up, doing the set, tearing all of that huge production down, and moving on to the next gig.

I don’t listen to her at all, but I admire the amount of effort ot takes to do it. She’s not some CEO with a laptop flying around meeting other CEOs for drinks. People like her work hard. Other acts that do that have earned thier money too. Metallica, Rolling Stones, what have you. They write and perform and bust ass far more than you and me ever will.

I wasn’t expecting that to pour out of me, i apologize. Lol

All good!

I would say busting ass doesn’t scale your success, but will agree it is a prerequisite. A lot of people with talent and work ethic don’t make it anywhere. Your force multiplier is opportunity, and that is scarce and unevenly distributed.
