Imagine if the doctor who invented the vaccine for polio demanded a billion dollars. Everyone would be rightfully disgusted even though it was one of the most valuable contributions to humanity of all time. The polio vaccine has saved our country trillions.

Now why is a singer entitled to billions if a vaccine scientists aren't? No one needs or deserves billions. No one.

Not here to argue comparative renumeration.

My point is that there are some individuals are directly worth +1bn. 10 million people paid much more than $100 to see Swift's last tour. That's objective fact, not subjective opinion.

I would certainly join 1bn other people to give the polio vaccine inventor $1.
