Should Billionaires Be Taxed? + Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's $20M Wedding.
About this episode
The episode discusses the taxation of billionaires and celebrity weddings, focusing on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding and the implications of wealth concentration.
Today we tackle one of the most controversial money topics out there: should billionaires pay more tax? With a wealth tax vote coming to California and France debating the same fight, Vic and Soph go head to head - one wants a minimum personal income threshold for the ultra-rich, the other says the real fix is corporate tax and preventing this level of wealth concentration in the first place. We also dig into the gender gap behind who's actually getting taxed (only 14% of billionaires are women), then switch gears to break down Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's reported $20 million wedding - the Madison Square Garden price tag, the donation to NYC, and the prenup drawn up by Taylor's dad. Plus Dua Lipa and Callum Turner's wedding, and why more couples (led by women) are finally normalising prenups. PLEASE VOTE FOR US!
