@Viss @jwz @nonehitwonder The big difference with taytay is that she became a billionaire by knowing how to monetize her own work (and putting the work in in the first place). On the other hand: dad was a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch and mum was a mutual fund marketing exec. So … privileged background, but her fans have the illusion of understanding what she does and like the product.
