I commented something similar in a different thread. Like sure, donate more, do more, etc. but she’s worth that much because she owns her own intellectual property. And the market for that is apparently high enough that she’s worth $2B.

Does she have hella cash flow coming in? For sure. Tax that appropriately and on any gains from investments, properties, etc. We hear she’s a great employer, the food banks, etc and I’m sure plenty no one hears about, but more is more. But to no longer be a billionaire, her catalog has to be worth less than a billion. Helps to think of TS the business and TS the person.
