And what immense exploitation did Taylor do to her workers? I wouldn't call being paid $55M in bonuses a case of exploitation but i guess in the communist utopia world nobody works for others and gets compensated with a wage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great of her and I said that when this first came out months ago. That doesn’t absolve the fact that she’s a billionaire and you don’t acquire that level of money ethically. Not an insult, nothing to get offended by. It’s just a fact, miss Ride or Die. You’ll be ok! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She literally donated millions to distribute between some of her truck drivers for example You could argue that the only area is indirectly the people who do her merch, but she’s just buying from a supplier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeenThereDoneThat Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 12 hours ago, zzmyth said: nice to see that breakdown. People acting like Rihanna's 1.7B is not from music at any point. First part is catalog. Rihanna, she owns her own masters 100% too, so the catalog portion in that Taylor breakdown is the same with Rihanna, maybe it's worth less... could be but not much less, let's say 350M$. Second part is ticket sales and merchandise (Rihanna's tours grossed almost 500M $ in total, so she earned a well 100M $ from them easy.) and here we could put all the ventures Rihanna has/has had besides fentybeauty and savagexfenty, which include several perfumes, her book sales, puma collabs, dior collab, fenty brand, tidal, samsung, merchandising sales, etc. (easily another 100M $ appart from touring), so let's say a total of 200M $ in this second part. Third part is Streams from spotify and youtube, Taylor might be getting more income from this, but again... it's not like Rihanna is doing poor numbers, or has bad figures at all... let's say she has at the very least half of the income (just to be on the low margin), so a total of 60M $ in this third part. Fourth part is homes, Rihanna owns at least5 houses and they are worth around 95M $, if I'm not mistaken, appart from whatever private propperties she could have, like jewelery, cars, art, etc. So I'd say this fourth part is around the same 110M total. Fifth part is royalties from music sales, which have been reported at at least 60M various times, so let's keep it low and leave it there too. and then she has 50% of fentybeauty, which is worth 2.8B $ and 30% of savagexfenty, which is worth shy 1B, So that alone is already 1.7B worth. So, Rihanna's breakdown in these conditions that Taylor is being presented, gives a total of 780M $, WITHOUT ANY PART OF FENTYBEAUTY OR SAVAGEXFENTY. So... whoever says she is worth nothing from music... think again... The same way Taylor is worth much more than that... because her family already has a big wealth, and she will inherit her part in that too... which is not small. Thank you for this breakdown. I’m not sure why Taylor’s fans can’t just congratulate her, without trying to discredit Rihanna. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doogle Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 She’s exploiting me by making me go to her tour and film and not paying me a life changing $100k jk, she’s clearly gotten to this status by more ethical means than some but she is still richer than necessary so I agree she should be adequately taxed out of that and then she won’t be eaten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
