From the sales of her newest album, "1989".
That's pocket change. She has a net worth of $200 million, so surely she could give some more money away, right?
Of course not. This is all a PR stunt so the public sees her name "enhanced" as "caring" about the people. But in reality, she is out of touch with the reality of what many people have to live through every day. She was born into a wealthy family, a daughter of a high-ranking employee in a large financial organization.
Most people don't cruise through life with wealth like that, instead scraping together enough and hoping they can reach the top, when it is not possible, due to how these people have already consolidated all of it, only giving away occasional charity to keep themselves atop in the social strata.
People like her, who have inherited wealth, should give a LOT more to those who have regular upbringings. In all honesty, the government should seize at least 90% of their financial holdings, and pour it into the educational system, our infrastructure, and other social programs to make more equal economic equality AT THE VERY LEAST. |

@Luffy
Here's the issue. They cannot be trusted to help others in any form unless the government regulates the financial and social inequalities that exist. |

I believe the money you earn yourself should be spent on yourself first.
And also that the amount of money she has is estimated.
+ also if she donated highly to something people will believe she is favoring whatever she donated, and not everything else that is out there.
It doesn't matter what she does, the media will either make it look nice or bad. |
