It's crazy, you would think being rich and constantly "celebrating" and vacationing would be the life...but honestly, while I would love to vacation more myself, to CONSTANTLY be going somewhere seems to take the thrill out of it.
How many yachts, islands, resorts, and expensive parties can you do before it gets "boring"? And when you're as vapid as them, with nothin else to live for, it just seem like life could become quite boring. And tedious when you tie in all the constant PR staging and constant media and songs/records being put out.
They just always stay doing THE MOST, even by rich folks standards.
hedonic treadmill
A theory that describes the tendency of a person to remain at a relatively stable level of happiness, despite major positive or negative changes to livelihood or life goals. For example as a person makes more money and achieves certain life goals, their expectations and desires rise in relative proportion to these achievements, resulting in no permanent gain in happiness. Also called hedonic adaption.

True. But most rich people (like, the elite) don't just go on vacation. They also write, create, educate themselves. The true wealthy love the money but don't flash it like the Carters. I have yet to see a photo of Bill Gate on a yacht.

I maintain that Beyonce and Jay Z owe more than they own and live on advances. But they are always jet setting around the world. vapid people are the ones that end up doing drugs and seeking more highs because they are incapable of growth and self actualisation. I remember jay z being in Nigeria maybe where he installed a water pump for some village, I don't know if it was just the one village or more and he had a a watermelon careved into the shape of Beyonce's breasts. that's the kinda thing empty people do.

eljjai This is just a television show but I'm pretty sure this is the same situation the Carters and many others are in. Note what the father says to his daughter at the :20 mark.

IMO, I really think they do all this traveling as part of their job. There are certain things they may have to take care of behind the camera, as well as for the cameras. Like their trip to Cuba. Many people felt they made that trip to personally speak with Angela Davis on behalf of our government. Some felt it may have been a trip to see a doctor to help BeyallaboutBey get pregnant. When you learn about what goes on with the elites, none of this is far-fetched. These frequent trips are to serve a purpose other than so called relaxing. We're talking about people who don't and won't do a damn thing unless it has be strategically planned ahead of time with a purpose to gain something. Even if it's to try to keep up appearances to keep the money rolling in.
There was a famous actress who once said that she could go almost anywhere and do almost anything she wanted to do without the public knowing anything about it. She said when you see a celebrity being photographed often and is spotted out and about, normally it's that celebrity that makes the call to the paps to alert them of where they can take pictures of them coming and going. It's funny how this the Carter's jet set and are found and photographed from every corner of the Earth and on top of that, B makes sure to have a million photos to show the world from her "private" collection.
I believe as long as they remain "married" these types of photos and trip will help them benefit from the public, but the moment they split, they won't benefit much. All of this is apart of their Brand/Business.

Professor Davis lives and works mostly in the USA. Hahaha! My mistake. That's exactly who I meant. I've got Angela on my brain because she recently visited and spoke at my daughter's college, where my daughter got a chance to meet her up close and personal and also was honored to hear Ms. Davis' life story. Chile, Angela Davis must have sparked a fire within my baby girl because that's all she talks about. LOL! Baby girl, has a professor that gives credit to his students who make these types of seminars, but ironically doesn't classify this as something important enough to give credit for. So I want to know why he didn't consider this "legend" important? I hate to go here there but this comes off as a bit racist on the professor's part. |

This report is old but funny:
Beyonce to direct and star in movie about Beyonce
You can never get too much Beyonce according to Beyonce, so she wants to make a documentary about herself. Gosh, I wonder if it’ll be flattering. The LA Times says…
Knowles (has) been shopping a nonfiction film to Hollywood studios about the celebrity’s life and career.
…the movie is as a mix of music and personal study, blending concert footage with confessional interview. Knowles not only stars in the project but is directing it, and will also serve as a producer.
If I ever said to a friend of mine that I wanted to make a movie about me, and it would be two hours of me talking about me and asking other people about me and showing footage of me from other movies people have made about me, they would kick me in the balls and tell me to go fuck myself. But not only does Beyonce think this is a good idea, but she probably wants to write the novelization as well.

Another article about her narcissistic obsessions:
Beyonce to Make Directorial Debut with Documentary About Beyonce
By Peter Hall
Pop-star documentaries are all the rage these days. They're cheap to make and they make a whole lot of money. Justin Bieber's got one. Katy Perry's got one. Now Beyoncé Knowles wants one. But there's a pretty big difference between both of those films and what the former Destiny's Child singer is cooking up: She wants to produce and direct her own documentary.
Of course Beyoncé is no newbie to the silver screen as a star (we still remember Austin Powers in Goldmember and The Pink Panther) or as a producer (Obsessed), but she's never stepped into the director's chair, and to do so to make a movie about herself is fascinating, to say the least. One could easily say that films like Bieber's Never Say Never and Perry's Part of Me are nothing but pop-star pandering in order to sell more records and concert tickets, but at least those films have outside directors. A pop star directing her own documentary might actually be unprecedented (our resident doc expert couldn't think of someone else doing something similar).
Beyoncé and her talent agency have put together 20 minutes of footage as part of a package to shop around Hollywood, but the untitled film hasn't picked up a distributor yet, so it's not inconceivable that if they want to get the film fully made, she'll have to bring in another director. If she doesn't, though, we're very curious to see just how this whole thing turns out. Obviously no celeb documentary is going to be too critical of the star, but this is taking self-indulgence to a whole new level.
LMAO, no takers!!

I would never want a job like that. They literally have no break. What good is it to have a "career" making millions only to take no break/no rest. For human's sake who the heck wants to work on their "vacation". That's stupid. More power to them and their delusional stans that are so blinded by their shticks. No need to be jealous or "hate" on a bunch of overbearing, overrated indebted puppets when my piece of mind is priceless.

See a person with average intelligence would be able to take the money the Carters have earned over the years and make it work for them. Mildly retarded folks like the Carters aren't able to do that so they have to keep working in order to keep their heads above water. Look at 50 cent, say what you want about him but the man made one big money deal and now he works only when he feels like it. The Carters will never have that luxury.

Lol 50 is chillin', never have to worry about money again. Camel is a terrible business man and his wife is retarded, both should be able to retire but they can't. Too busy trying to show their wealth and keep up an image they don't have the money for. They will be paying people back forever. They are probably going on another tour this year |

I just said this last night to my relative that 50cent is a really good manager. To date he still has the same artists on his roster, making really good earnings such as Lloyd banks. Lloyd is making his millions touring. Curtis was always a genuine and humble man. And he translated that well in his investments and in management. I respect him. And never needed to blackball another rapper or singer because he was good and comfortable at what he did. And he doesn't take himself too seriously. He reminds me of biggie in some ways. But yeah paid his dues and saw everything come into fruition after 10+ years.
He is a better entrepreneur than what Jay will ever be. Thats why jay doesn't like him or puffy for that matter.

Also 50 lives low key. He's not off spending money everyday just to be seen spending money. Bey and Jay would save a lot more money if they would just stay home and play with Blue. Between the 3 of them I suspect Jay is the brokest in terms of real money in a real bank. all this net wroth crap is just smoke and mirriors. |

He talked about how certain reoccurring artists trying to get signed to a major makes .26 cents an album with no ownership of their songs. Meanwhile madonna gets to keep her masters (all of it if that ) |

^^^^That's because labels know how desperate most artists are for short, fast cash. Madonna may be a lot of things but at least she was smart enough to buy her masters once she started making some money. Prince and Michael were also smart.
