If you're measuring it as "how many people own superyachts" that's probably different from how most people want to measure "how well is the planet being run".

> And she's probably more efficient in spending it than the practical alternatives.

Why? This seems like an odd statement. Why is a singer more efficient at doing this than a team of analysts?

> Yes to all of the above. I assume.

I have to point out that you are likely looking at the world in a drastically different way to most.

You think that

1. We should be pushing for more superyachts, as an immediate measure of efficient allocation of resources

2. Taylor Swift is being rewarded for efficient allocation of capital and not her songwriting, singing, etc.

3. Taylor Swift, who has been singing for many years at lower amounts of wealth, would stop if her fortune dropped and she had to release songs in order to gain more wealth

4. Taylor Swift is making music because there is something she wishes to purchase that she is saving up for. She does not wish to make music, and is putting up with it to finally afford something.

I think most people believe that musicians who are extremely popular for their music would continue to make music if they could live an extremely lavish lifestyle without a care in the world for money but their net worth didn't increase. I think that most people would prefer some measure of how well things are going that look at their own life, or how many people have food.
