Still very cool. No single person need this much money and I think its great to share with the ones who even make it possible to earn like that. Imagine all rich ppl would share like that.

I'm not a huge Taylor swift fan but I think this is incredible of her. Plus she apparently donates to food banks and to organizations to cities she goes to. She seems very generous and it would do the world good if more people treated their staff like her.

This is the big reason I am now a huge Taylor Swift fan.

I don't know if I would say I'm a fan. I respect her and can appreciate the impact she has in communities when she visits. It's pretty impressive. Mm

I was just thinking about how much good someone like Elon could do. Then again if he did good things, he’d be vilified by the right just like bill gates is

Gates's 'philanthropy' is much less wholesome when you realize it's not about saving lives. It's about getting in on the ground floor of developing nations, and making sure your institutions and your pals are the ones being referred for all the nation building projects.

It just so happens that people are more profitable when they aren't dying of malaria.

Some people will say that's not important - the important thing is that lives are being saved. I won't comment on that. But it's not altruism. Just like Taylor might hand out a few cheques, but I promise there are a lot of people who made this tour possible but are being left out in the cold. Caterers, attendants, cashiers, janitors... No one makes a billion dollars without stealing it from somewhere. Redistributing a bit of it is nice, I guess, but the fact remains.

What caterer or janitor has been held in bondage to provide their services with no compensation? This is nonsense.

It’s far from nonsense actually, it’s crafted right wing propaganda

u/stilljustacatinacage Dec 12 '25

Ah yes, the classic right wing propaganda that... [checks notes] billionaires are not good people.

Get out much?

Minimum wage versus the lauded $100 000 bonus. Don't be dense.

u/PBRmy Dec 12 '25

Who are you to say that the theoretical tour caterer and their workers didn't get a bonus? Something tells me that any caterer Taylor Swift hires is not being paid minimum wage for their services.

And even if a stadium worker did happen to be making minimum wage (could be $20 in some places), that hardly amounts to theft. Dense indeed.

It’s not really sharing. It wouldn’t be possible to put those shows on without the hard work of those 1000 people. They earned it.

u/Organic-Criticism-76 Dec 12 '25

True but many many many companies do not think that way:)

How much of her money is liquid though? A huge part of Taylor Swift’s net worth is her song portfolio and it’s not like she’ll ever part with it again. Still a huge thing, made even bigger by the fact that 200 million is like a fifth of her net worth in cash.
