Could you model it as a logical fallacy?
All super rich people are famous. Trump, Bush family, Walton family, etc. Rich, therefore you're famous.
In logical fallacy land, all famous people are therefore rich.
And youtube people are psuedo-famous (lets be realistic, 99% to 99.9% of the population don't care about them) therefore they must be rich.
Via the miracle of hollywood accounting, I distinctly remember William Shatner (or was it Leonard Nimoy) temporarily living in a van down by the river in the 70s in between trek and later revenue sources. In the hollywood PR era they were all rich even when they were not, in the YT era it can't be covered up anymore.
- vinceguidry 11y agoThe super-rich definitely are not all famous. Plenty of insanely rich executives out there you wouldn't recognize and never make headlines. They may be well-known in their fields, but purposefully keep themselves out of the public eye.
