No guys wait, why not pay our campain's $100millions to cool billionares like Beyonce or Taylor Swift to relate to these young voters?

You know, if you're holding a big GOTV drive in Houston and you want to bring their home town girl in to sing a few bars as part of a state convention or mobilizing event, I wouldn't begrudge them that.

But Beyonce showed up at a big Harris event and didn't perform any music. Literally paid to wave at the crowd and not do the thing for which you're famous.

Lmao wut? Wasn't the campaign manager literally just someone's brother, that would explain so much

Beyonce's net worth is $800 million, so not quite a billionaire.

[-] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 months ago

It's not $800 million, it's estimated $800 million. billionaire is well within the margin of error.

It's also fucking Beyonce. If she isn't worth a billion it's only because she doesn't care to be. If she wanted to she could release some new songs or do some shows and make it to a billion, but what real benefit is there? She can buy literally anything she wants and not worry about it.

One trip to Dubai would get her to a billion.

Yeah most billionaires are billionaires because they own a company worth a lot. So their wealth is to a large part based on "what would they get when they sell the company". Beyonce is herself the "company" but there is no evaluation for how much it is worth to be Beyonce. She can get a lot of very expensive things for free just for beeing herself. And how much could she earn by "selling out"? Wealth estimations just don't make sense at this level

By reported wealth of rich people, yeah probably even higher. Don't forget to add some millions for the months since the last estimate too.
