Taylor Swift dankte für „großzügige“ Spenden an Kinderhilfswerke in Nashville und Kansas City

This is what billionaires should be doing. Like all the time. I don’t think we should really be celebrating her for it.

Edit: leave it to Reddit to simp for billionaires. Christ.

She has a million dollars in her couch cushions. It’s incredible how many people don’t understand how much larger 1 billion is than 1 million. Taylor Swift sucks.

I work in philanthropy. The thing about TS and her donations is that gifts of this magnitude are treated with the utmost discretion by charities. It would be a huge ethics violation to reveal (a) her as a donor or (b) the amount of her gift without her explicit consent to do so. Her team would have a direct role in crafting the news release, which is what the news media engine has been picking up for days.

I concur with others that this is what every billionaire should be doing times, well, a billion. And they are, quietly or not, because it’s a tax write-off. Charitable giving is a part of how billionaires get away with not paying taxes. It’s still a good thing to do in a very broken system. But it’s kind of like expecting a round of applause for a standard business move.

Still a billionaire that shouldn’t exist.
