    1% is way too generous.

    Taylor Swift has a life style comparable to Liz Taylor or Frank Sinatra.

    It’s a tiny handful of people who are actually sucking up all the wealth.

        A quick search shows that Liz Taylor was worth about $600 million at the time of her death using the official inflation indicator.

        Inflation of things like Beverly Hills houses has far outstripped the regular rate. A house she brought for less than $1 million would be ten or twenty times as much today.

                I knew she was a rich entertainer. I knew Elizabeth Taylor was a rich entertainer. Entertainers today have greater income than those of the past, and yet the life styles are roughly similar.

                And yes, I have the whole internet before me. I chose not to learn all the details of Taylor Swift’s life. Just because I can, doesn’t mean I should.

                If you really feel the need to do the research, find an entertainer whose worth and fame matches Elizabeth Taylor’s. I will not stop you.
