It's it odd how the media picks and chooses who to call out on making "too much" money.

She must be the wrong type of millionaire or something

She isn't one at all, she's a billionaire, and she's definitely not a fucking victim.

If anything, it's her fellow billionaires not getting enough shit, not her getting too much.

She is a paper billionaire. She is worth all that money if she sells the rights to all her songs, which she just remade to reclaim her rights to those songs, so she isn't interested in selling.

She might be worth a lot, but she doesn't have thatmuch because autonomy is worth more to her than money.

She's not hurting, that's for sure, but she doesn't have money like people say.

Every billionaire is a paper billionaire. Like the others, she can borrow against the value of her assets.

Yes, obviously. She owns a private jet and 8 homes (worth ~150 million), not to mention her other investments.

That's not billions of dollars. She probably does have that in cash.
