(9,350 posts)This is not about race or gender. This is about price tag. It has never been reported that Jamie Daimon bought a $90 million home. Susan Sarandon may have six multi-million dollar homes, but most likely none of them costs $90 million. It is very likely that all six of Susan Sarandon's homes do not equal $90 million.
I have no problem with Beyoncé, or anyone else buying a $90 million home. However, I can understand that some people might get upset that one person has a $90 million home while millions are either homeless, or struggling to pay a house note, or rent.
If Ellen DeGeneres had bought a $90 million home the response on this board likely would have been the same. I think the main reason there is very little criticism of white people buying homes is that you do not hear about them making big purchases on home.
