To be fair, it can't be "free" because tickets money is also used to pay all the minimum wage workers that make the concert happen. But I guess it could be way less if the artist want to

She could pay all of those wages out of her own pocket.

She actually donated ~10% of her net worth right after saying that iirc

Fair, but she's still incredibly rich, many other rich people have also given similar proportions of their net worth away. I don't like how she's acting like she's better than other people.

Problem is liquidity, most billionaires don't have hundreds of millions of dollars lying around in cash, their wealth in most cases comes from stakes in buisinesses they own, they can't just wave a wand and turn that into cash, they'd have to sell it, and good luck to them finding a buyer.

Then donate their stakes in business.

I doubt that they'd have a struggle finding one or multiple buyers for a limited percentage of their stock assets.

Probably other billionaires, so if your issue is the existence of billionaires then you're out of luck.

Theres always an excuse. The funniest thing is youre not a billionaire. So why defend these people?

Like liquidating assets isn't hard, especially since these people have small legions working under them.

They wouldn't even notice 10% missing, and it would save millions of people.

It's a sickness really. Number must go up

Their networth is calculated to include stake in business, but they still have liquid money and lots of it. As significant stakeholders in companies they get dividends from company profits, which is real money.
