Not enough to just be rich. Lots of people are rich, particularly people you're surrounded by. Lots of them are richer than you.
But your job is to be popular. Wildly popular. You need a slavishly loyal cult following that's going to throw a thousand dollars out the door to do parasocial relationship shit from the front row of your next live appearance. You need people willing to spend a million dollars on your line of Funko Pop dolls. You need people who will stare doe-eyed at you from the back of the club and beg you for the privilege of sucking your knob. Otherwise, what's the fucking point of touring?
They always talk about how they hate being famous and hate being noticed.
They hate feeling anxious but they love feeling adored. Criticism is the anxiousness without the adoration.
