    Not to defend the guy, but what about all the other people involved? I can’t imagine he just travels alone he probably has a bunch of employed people to set things up and make sure everything runs smoothly.

    Or would those people be employed by the venues?

      What about the 80,000 dead Palestinians? The 20,000 dead Palenstian children that Israel is still slaughtering?

      Dude has an estimated $300 million to his name. If he gave a shit, he could pay all of their salaries out of pocket for the whole tour and not even feel it, while still standing agasint a genocide. That would be a huge, double whammy PR boost for him, cementing him forever as the best fucking guy in showbiz.

      I bet it wouldn’t even cost 10 million, leaving him $290 million to buy villas and superyaughts with until a few months passes, when he would have $300 million again from the interest alone.

      A large arena, including FOH, BOH, maintenance crews, security details, riggers, electricians, etc, etc…

      Is going to cost $150k or so.

      You are defending the guy. He could pay everyone and it wouldn’t have even the slightest impact to his net worth.
