Unethical amounts of wealth hoarding.

taylor got there through nepotism, and try to relate to the poor hicks of tennesee, her parents moved her there and help jumpstarted her career.

$2.12bn, apparently. (No. 3 on that list.)

Maybe this it just about Americans

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

OP says 'globally' in the title, though.

[–] BarticusR@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

The World Series of music money-hoarders.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And yet there's only USA people on the chart.

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah. Celine is Canadian. Rihanna is from Barbados, and that's still where she spends a lot of her time.

Madonna is American but lives in the UK now and has for decades

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Guess they just don't like McCarthy then 🤷

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

All I see is more rich people.

Rihanna hasn't dropped an album in 10 years, and I think she has said she'll never make another album. I'm positive her wealth comes more from her very successful Fenty brand than her music (as much as I absolutely loved her music back in the day, she wasn't selling like Swift or Beyonce)

Edit: I'd say the same for Gomez, her wealth is probably from Rare Beauty nowadays

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Didnt know Jayz had popular songs. I always just saw him as Beyonce's husband.

[–] hesh@quokk.au 5 points 2 days ago

One of the most famous rappers of all time

[–] jimmux@programming.dev 6 points 3 days ago

I think it's his businesses making him rich, and probably getting a cut from other artists he produces.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

the blueprint was everywhere back then

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He sold Beats headphones to Apple for $1B.

So, without that sale, Dre's worth is about zero bucks.

Depends how you look at it. You could have a couple hundred million, and then if you add a single billion you still "only" have "about a billion" the difference between a million and a billion is crazy.

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Beats by dre™

[–] username_1@programming.dev -5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Wow. There is only one artist I am aware that I heard at least one song of. And even in that case I'm not a fan. The name "Jay-Z" I never even heard.

[–] shweddy@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago

Bro lives under the earth

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

This baffles me. Who is the one you've heard of, Taylor Swift?

[–] username_1@programming.dev -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm sure I heard a song or two of Celine Dion. Others are just names for me. Some of these names are completely unrecognizable. Like that Jay-Z.

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How old are you and what country are you from?
