No one becomes a billionaire accidentally. Even if she pays people top dollar, she can charge less at the gate, she could pay her people bonuses on top of their salary. She could donate half of her income to homeless shelters in whatever city she’s touring in.
like i said, she’s far from the worst. but she is also possibly the most powerful and influential artist today. she could use the comforts and privileges she’s leveraged herself into to reshape the industry in some substantial ways. her concerts are commanding record setting ticket places. she could be challenging ticketmaster/livenation in ways that no other artist can. she could be rewriting how a topring artist of her stature gets from venue to venue. she could challenging the trust based relationship of the distributors to open up doors for young artists.
paying her workers what they are worth is more than many billionaires do, but it’s still the minimum, not the limit of her power
i mean. she’s still a billionaire. she’s not a top of the order first priority billionaire, but we shouldn’t exclude her from vilification, either
Doesn’t she pay the people working on her tours really well or was that inaccurate

She’s a billionaire because she chooses to be.
There are no morally virtuous billionaires.
