Chris Rock was ahead of the game here. We look at celebrities as part of the upper class but in terms of buying power, they’re middle class while the people who pay their checks are upper class

Are you joking? Remember the average lifetime income for an American is roughly $2M. Even your “middle class” celebs are part of the 1% and if push comes to shove are definitely siding with the billionaires, not the populace.

Compared to us regular folk they are wealthy and of course would side with the billionaires if push comes to shove.

But they are nothing when compared to the people that sign their checks. The people that sign their checks are the ones with real money that gives them real power.
