In reply to the discussion: Taylor Swift has the largest ICE concentration camp contractor at her corporate wedding [View all]
angrychair
(12,594 posts)113. Why do people make a big deal over that?!?
It's silly. She is worth more than $2 billion dollars.
The $26 million is a fraction of a fraction of her wealth.
She will make back that money before the end of the weekend.
The point has always been about them being billionaires at all, not about the pennies they through around for the halo effect.
Billionaires, all billionaires, are antithetical to a free and fair society.

If it's not just for show, you consult a lawyer and find out of you have any legal rights and pursue them.

Sorry, not inviting a concentration camp contractor would be jumping through hoops?

There are other ways. For example, you can become rich via trading in the financial markets.

After the wedding, maybe you should write a well worded letter to Taylor Swift.

That was my take. In any big wedding the guests aren't JUST the brides choice. There is a groom too!
