Compare that to the merch titan that is gura, and she is EASILY a multi-millionaire. Even the average Holo EN girl is probably close to, if not above the million mark, although we don't have exact figures. Even accounting for Youtube and Cover's cut on SC alone, they are probably close to the million mark, and that's before ad revenue, sponsorships, merch, and events which are probably more than SC.
The way you need to think about "millions" isn't that you have a million bucks to burn on something. If you have $1m just in the bank, you can earn 5% right now, which is $50k passive income for doing absolutely nothing. Sure, you should invest in actual investments to produce closer to 8%, and then subtract inflation, so you still come back to around 5%. If you have $2m in the bank, you can sit around, do nothing, and get $100k of "play money" to mess around with. Now scale that up to $5, $10, or $20m, and you reach a point where you effectively have "infinite" money. Yes, you could theoretically lose it all gambling, burning it on supercars, or mansions, etc, but realistically you could live in 5* hotels across the world, eating at fancy restaurants every meal for the rest of your life and not make a dent in your savings since it's only off the "play money".
This is the kind of realization most people never think about, since they are stuck considering how to afford their next rent payment. Yet, these are also the simps who keep donating to a millionaire while working for minimum wage and think that they are making a difference for their oshi. Unless she's a broke 2view, don't bother. Any Holo is far too big for your $50 or $100 to even make the tiniest difference in her life, much less your $5 membership for her doing nothing. Never donate, gifted member only, adblock on, neighbor's wifi, pirate content, etc.
