[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to take my elementary daughter to the Taylor swift concert. The absolute cheapest tickets are $1500-1800. These would be around $2k each after fees. These are for very bad tickets. Better tickets are more like $3-5000 PER ticket.

I’m just wondering who pays this much for these tickets. I’m guessing a lot of moms are taking their children? We can afford it but it seems excessive.[/quote]

Well those are last minute tickets, they’re $$$$$[/quote]

They were posted at these prices 24 hours after ticket sales. They were never lower. [/quote]

Yeah, Taylor swift crashed Ticketmaster. Is she really this popular???[/quote]

Clearly, umm, yes.  She is.[/quote]

+1. She is a 34 year old [b]self-made [/b]billionaire. [/quote]

Since when are rich, trust fund kids self-made? Yes, she is successful but she is no more self made than the Kardashians. [/quote]

What? No. She is not a rich trust fund kid. Why are you even on this thread? And sorry, the Kardashians ARE self-made. I happen to think their profession is as stupid as they come. But I can't help it if idiots watch their dumb show and buy their product placements. [/quote]

Dude, her father is a millionaire wealth investment manager. He is the principal founding member of the Swift Group and has done incredibly well for himself. Taylor, with the aid of her millionaire father, was able to tour and secure contracts as a young child, who supported and bolstered her career. She was not and has never been a struggling artist. On the contrary, she is a rich kid, with rich parents, who is able to take risks and be an artists precisely becuase she has so much money to fall back on.

Swift, Kardashians, and Donald J have all done well for themselves - but the loans from parents equaling over $1M is easily what sets them apart from other budding entrepreneurs.

But sure, self-made.[/quote]

This is not true.  Her father was a wealth manager. At times he did well. She grew up MC and then UMC.  Her father was not rich if by rich you mean 10 million worth. In fact he was close to broke when she started.  That is why he had the time to manage her.  She did not grow up rich.  And there was nothing to fall back on.  [/quote]
