She became a billionaire by selling tickets for more than necessary and makes the choice to continue doing so to enrich herself.

As I said, there's no reason she couldn't have started doing shows that only broke even once she had enough money to live off of for the rest of her life, she decides not to do that and she decides to continue accumulating wealth we can't even imagine.

Remember when Musk said if he could prevent famine for 6B he would do it, he was presented with a plan and didn't do it? All billionaires are guilty of doing the same thing and the way they accumulate the means to do that is by selling us things for more than they're actually worth.

Don’t forget about the exploited workforce which might be more than the obscene prices.
