Here is my wild take: Making that much money by performing a concert is perfectly fine. Performing a concert is work. People who went there clearly consent to that.

In my opinion, this is different to making money by investing that is meaning making money by just owning stuff.

Pretty sure she has financial managers to keep her earned money working for her by investing in stocks and bonds and such.

Probably. And that is problematic. But it is a completely different criticism.

Why is that problematic? Is it because you think that that is even possible is bad? Or that her investing her money is bad.

I'm genuinely curious.

Right - this is not passive income. She's just massively in-demand, and can only exist in one place at a time.

How much goes to everyone else at the venue would be a different conversation.
