    Yes, but have you considered the major phycological impact for poor Tay Tay if she only had enough money and resources for several thousand years instead of hundreds of thousands?

    Tay Tay would probably be so devastated she’d write a breakup song about her bank account.

      I am far from a Taylor Swift fan, but this comment seems pretty clueless. How do you know she doesn’t have plans to give away most of it? She seems like the type of person that would. She’s also like 34 years old, so maybe give it a few years?

      There are no billionaires who became such ethically… But I’m struggling to think of any that did it in a more ethical way than Swift. Especially after literally re-recording her entire catalogue to get around scummy capitalists that tried to unduly profit from her talent.

        That’s such a low bar it’s hardly worth mentioning. Yes, she could mature into a woman who contributes more to philanthropy but as it stands the fact that she can even get so rich without doing anything about it proves she doesn’t give a shit.
