Would you be happier if they'd used the money for startup seed funding with a view to eventually cashing out after IPO? I suspect a lot of people are offended that in a supposedly free capitalist culture they had - and presumably still have - the freedom to subvert the usual rules. In capitalism artists are either supposed to be poor and struggling, or fragile gilded celebrities cocooned in enviable opulence. Both options are defined by money. It's a shock to the system for a successful artist to act with self-determination and to dramatise control over capital instead of being controlled by it.
