RAMROD 96,167 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Also, with non showbiz related venture like fashion, cosmetics, etc What it comes down to is likely called their retirement plan Showbiz can't support you forever especially if you're female and don't write your own songs. Also especially after you are well accostumed to the lavish lifestyle. You will not want that and other perks for being wealthy to go away once you can't do major tour anymore. Hence they need to build an empire of another businesses that will guarantee them lavish life until the bitter end.

Fresco 1,688 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 New artists are found on places like youtube with a large following before they get a recording contract. They are at least half influencer along with music artist. It happens at the top level of pro sports too, everything from golf to car racing includes paid sponsors and product endorsements. They collect much more than winner's prize money at those levels. And they have teams of people to pay as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenWonder 3,048 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 As others have said, music gets you a platform, but the days of selling 10-15 million albums at $12.99 a pop for an artist's peak years are over. That used to be the norm for any big act. Now it's Adele. Maybe Taylor. And then whenever a perfect storm hits (ASIB for Gaga, Billie's breakthrough, and the weird sustained global love for Ed Sheeran). It's too bad, really. But we can't blame Gaga or RiRi for going the route they have. I know I would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
