>>55628416>super rich vtuberAnon, these are youtubers. Not Hollywood mannequins. How much do you think the girls actually make?
Remember that (depending on source-estimate) only ~30% of the superchats actually go to them. Ditto for Memberships. And they technically 'have' a salary but it's the same sort as tipped employees like waitress where it's entirely eaten up in taxes and you're supposed to live on commissions. And, as far as merch goes... some of the girls are unaware they even 'have' merch sometimes, so that should say enough about how little, if any, of that trickles down to them. Cover, like all corpos, is only really lucrative for the shareholders.
tl;dr: If you plug the math, the holo idols are turning about the same salary as a mid-tier white collar job. They're not poor, but a far cry from rich.
