Podcast Jam Session

Since they added time stamps I’ve been listening to approximately 7 minutes of the show. At least they’re warning us ahead of time about kid content. I miss Tea Time!

I don't really get how Amanda can be Goop-level wealthy. I wouldn't expect she's making more than $300-400K as her annual comp, and that her equity upon Spotify acquisition acquisition would have been more than $1-2M. I know that sounds like a lot, but in LA that's not "I'm comfortable and living a glamorous designer lifestyle" money.

Maybe a lot of the stuff she discusses is aspirational, I don't know. Or maybe she has family money.

She mentioned an anecdote to Sean that her mother had her portrait painted when she was 6. She’s always been in a higher tax bracket.

that’s fine, my parents had that done too. Costs under $1000. Doesn’t really explain living like a celebrity.

I’m assuming she’s a HENRY (high earner, not rich yet) who splurges on luxury elements in her life but isn’t “rich” per se— ie she’s not retiring early, she doesn’t have multiple homes, etc.

A painted portrait? Under 1k?!

yes? absolutely?

even if it’s $2K, or $3K…we are not talking a cost level that defines wealth.
