- 0:19Hello everyone.
- 0:22I don't know what the laugh will cry right now.
- 0:26Oh, maybe just deep breaths is good.
- 0:30I am obviously missing a very important someone and she's fine.
- 0:39Sorry if anyone's worried.
- 0:41She's fine. She's just feeling a bit unwell.
- 0:43So I was like, you know what?
- 0:44I've got it.
- 0:45I will jump in and record this podcast.
- 0:47Do not worry.
- 0:48I will take one for the team and I will solo this podcast.
- 0:52Alex Cooper does it.
- 0:54I can do it.
- 0:56It's fine.
- 0:56It's fine.
- 0:57Let's just say this is the third recording of this podcast.
- 1:05Honestly, I the first time around recorded the whole podcast and then realized
- 1:12the mic wasn't plugged in, which was great.
- 1:15So it was just no sound.
- 1:20Second time around.
- 1:23I didn't hit record.
- 1:26So let's hope this one works because I don't think I have a fourth one in me.
- 1:32I don't think you want to hear the fourth version either.
- 1:35So let's hope and I'm sorry, I just keep checking.
- 1:39I am absolutely paranoid now.
- 1:42Anyway, yes, my darling Sophie is not here and obviously you can see she's instrumental
- 1:50to the curve and this podcast because it is the third time I'm recording this.
- 1:55Anyway, she will be back next week.
- 1:58Thank goodness.
- 1:59And I won't have to do a podcast three times.
- 2:03And actually, I have got a little someone helping me.
- 2:05Well, she's not really helping me.
- 2:06She's asleep.
- 2:07Me, so it's not a very good co-host.
- 2:09But my little friend is keeping me company.
- 2:12So you might hear some little barks throughout this podcast.
- 2:15Anyway, what has been happening in the stock market finance and investing world?
- 2:21Lots, lots, lots, lots, lots.
- 2:23Firstly, we have had one of the biggest weddings in the world, really.
- 2:29One of the most expensive.
- 2:30One of the ones that's probably got the most attention as well.
- 2:34And it was the wedding between Jeff Bezos,
- 2:36one of the richest men in the world and Lauren Sanchez.
- 2:39And let's just put it in perspective.
- 2:42Jeff Bezos is worth $250 billion.
- 2:46But that is massive.
- 2:48And he obviously got his wealth because he founded Amazon,
- 2:52one of the biggest companies in the world.
- 2:54And he recently got married.
- 2:56And this is a second marriage.
- 2:57And he spent $50 million on that wedding.
- 3:00Six million of that was on private jet security.
- 3:03So not just security, private jet security.
- 3:06$1.8 million was on 150 white stuff.
- 3:11So 150 people, usually that's the size of a big wedding anyway.
- 3:16Little on that just being the white stuff.
- 3:18$1.6 million on roses.
- 3:20So just imagine roses die.
- 3:22I'm like, I don't get it.
- 3:23$1.6 million on flowers.
- 3:26And $2 million on wine.
- 3:29Which, wow, that must be a lot of some pretty prestigious
- 3:34ventages I can imagine.
- 3:36Or else a really, really boozy party.
- 3:39And lots of guests getting absolutely frustrated.
- 3:41But I just wanted to put this in perspective.
- 3:44$50 million is like, it's a shoot.
- 3:47Shoot, it's a shit ton of money.
- 3:49And I was like, I wonder
- 3:53when someone's worth $250 billion.
- 3:56What is $50 million to them?
- 3:58You know?
- 3:58And so I did some calculations, love to make calculations.
- 4:02And if you earn $50,000 or $50,000,
- 4:10it would be like you spending $10 on your wedding.
- 4:15Absolutely, wow.
- 4:18Like that is what $50 million is to Jeff Bezos.
- 4:21So yeah, he spent $20.
- 4:26What is equivalent to $20 to us on his wedding?
- 4:29But the big question is, did he sign a prenup?
- 4:32And why is this becoming a question?
- 4:34Well, not only because he's the richest man in the world,
- 4:36but because his previous marriage he didn't.
- 4:37So in his previous marriage to McKenzie Scott,
- 4:40he was married to her for 25 years.
- 4:42And they had a few kids in any way.
- 4:44They didn't have a prenup.
- 4:45Amazon wasn't really, you know, was kind of like a blip
- 4:48on the radar at that point.
- 4:50And now it is one of the biggest companies in the world.
- 4:52So there was no prenup in place.
- 4:57I guess you wouldn't really expect your potential partner
- 5:00to be to create one of the most valuable companies in the world.
- 5:04But anyway, he did.
- 5:05So she was left with a pretty big payout.
- 5:07And she got about $35 billion
- 5:12which was about 25% of their shared stake in Amazon.
- 5:15This catapulted her to be one of the most richest women in the world.
- 5:19And people are like, she did nothing.
- 5:22And she just got this payout.
- 5:23And I completely disagree with that.
- 5:25And I think for someone to achieve such wealth,
- 5:29like Jeff Bezos, has to have an incredible support
- 5:33network around him from family to colleagues
- 5:36to everyone, particularly an amazing supportive partner
- 5:40that might look after the children
- 5:43so that they can go to work.
- 5:44All of that kind of stuff helps fuel someone
- 5:48to create such wealth like that.
- 5:50So to say that she did nothing and got that huge payout,
- 5:54I think is, in my opinion, I hate narratives like that.
- 5:57Like when people talk about what people got
- 5:59divorces and all of that for doing absolutely nothing,
- 6:03I think it definitely takes a team
- 6:04to create such wealth.
- 6:06Anyway, I could hop on about that for either,
- 6:09but anyway, one thing I wanted to highlight
- 6:10was with that 35 billion, she has given away,
- 6:13so McKenzie Scott has given away over half of that
- 6:17to charities and foundations.
- 6:19So yes, she was catapulted to being one
- 6:22of the most wealthy women in the world,
- 6:23but she's already given over half of that away.
- 6:26And I think this just goes to show that women
- 6:30invest with a very philanthropic social lens.
- 6:33So we don't want to see, and I'm making a generalisation here,
- 6:36some woman don't, but that's fine.
- 6:39And also some men do.
- 6:40It's just highlighting that women invest
- 6:43with a philanthropic and social lens,
- 6:45which is really important,
- 6:50particularly we've got this global
- 6:53gigantic wealth transfer happening about to happen.
- 6:56And this is when the boomers have accumulated so much wealth
- 7:00over the years, and they're a large percentage
- 7:03of the global population now.
- 7:05Start to pass away and pass down those assets
- 7:08and that wealth, and because women outlive men,
- 7:13that is going to be transferred into the hands of women,
- 7:15and then transferred down to generation generation.
- 7:17Now, the reason I'm highlighting this is that
- 7:21it's also the reason we need to get more money
- 7:24into the hands of women, because we invest
- 7:27with a much more holistic view.
- 7:31We don't just want a financial return.
- 7:33We want to make sure that money is actually either being
- 7:36good for the planet, good for society,
- 7:38good for our community.
- 7:39Money is power, right?
- 7:41Money is you making a decision of the world
- 7:45you want to see in the future.
- 7:46And so the more money that we can get in hands of women,
- 7:49the more of a world that we can create for us,
- 7:52and that we are really, really proud of.
- 7:54I am so passionate about this, and I just,
- 7:59I think with everything going on in the world right now,
- 8:02it's so incredibly important to realize
- 8:05that your money is a voting power.
- 8:08It is a way that you can support companies and countries
- 8:13and organizations and industries that you want to see grow
- 8:18and prosper and be part of our future.
- 8:19And so this actually reminds me last night,
- 8:22I went to a alumni event for my school.
- 8:24They have them once a year in London,
- 8:26and I went along and I was talking about,
- 8:29I got asked to speak, which was,
- 8:30I felt very honored and privileged,
- 8:32and like, because I was not a very good student,
- 8:35I definitely wasn't hugely sporty,
- 8:37I wasn't hugely academic,
- 8:39I was just kind of average student, I guess,
- 8:43that's probably just annoyed the teachers
- 8:46touched too much.
- 8:47Just tried to like get away with stop.
- 8:51Anyway, I talk about the curve and the importance of investing,
- 8:55and I started feeling super, super passionate about
- 8:59we need to get more women educated,
- 9:00we need to, in terms of financial literacy,
- 9:02we need to get more money in the hands of women,
- 9:04and I was about to honestly felt this intense,
- 9:08not rage, but frustration with the world.
- 9:10And anyway, I could see myself getting all worked up,
- 9:13and I was just like, ooh, deep breaths, deep breaths.
- 9:16Anyway, it was a really great event,
- 9:18and I think it just highlighted the importance of,
- 9:21we get emails all the time, right,
- 9:23and messages from women saying,
- 9:24I was showing you this stuff younger or earlier,
- 9:26I wish I, you know, I want to learn this
- 9:28so that my daughters know this stuff,
- 9:31and are in the same position,
- 9:32and so I think it's just really, really important.
- 9:35Obviously, when you're listening,
- 9:37you are already taking that action,
- 9:39but there's anyone else that you think,
- 9:40we'll be in a fit from this podcast,
- 9:42please, please, please let them know,
- 9:44because we really need to change the world right now,
- 9:48and we can do it.
- 9:49We can do it one person at a time,
- 9:51like that saying,
- 9:52it's only one straw,
- 9:54except two billion people.
- 9:55So we can do it.
- 9:56Anyway, wow, I really digressed then.
- 9:58Anyway, it's not just so-for-night
- 10:00that gone tangents is definitely me.
- 10:02But anyway, back to Jeff Bezos and his wedding,
- 10:04there is speculation that,
- 10:07you know, what isn't the prenup with Lauren Sanchez?
- 10:09Because they didn't get one in the previous marriage,
- 10:12and now surely he's not making the same mistake again.
- 10:15And there is speculation that there is,
- 10:20I mean, nothing's been disclosed, right?
- 10:22It's all speculation,
- 10:23but there is speculation that
- 10:26Lauren Sanchez had to sign a prenup,
- 10:29but it had a signing bonus in it,
- 10:31which is kind of like dang in the carat.
- 10:34It's like, hey, if you sign this,
- 10:35I'll give you like 50,000.
- 10:36I have no items pulling up as out of my ass,
- 10:38but it's just to be like to help them encourage them to sign it.
- 10:41So therefore, you pay away a little bit to protect
- 10:44the big of high.
- 10:45But, you know, she was carrying a $300,000 in his bag.
- 10:48I think she's doing fine.
- 10:50At her wedding, that is also another thing about this wedding
- 10:54is that not long after,
- 10:57it was disclosed that Jeff Bezos had sold
- 11:00about three million shares in Amazon.
- 11:03So that is about $700 million in value.
- 11:08So I think he is on his way to have a very bougie honeymoon
- 11:13with all that money.
- 11:14Anyway, enough about him.
- 11:16We have an exciting IPO coming.
- 11:18Figma, it's a competitor to Adobe and Canva.
- 11:22And it has filed for an IPO.
- 11:26And now, let me break that down.
- 11:27So when a company is IPOing,
- 11:29IPOing means stands for initial public offering.
- 11:32And that means when a company becomes public for the first time.
- 11:35So it means that you and I can invest in it.
- 11:38It means that it's financials are on show for everybody.
- 11:41And Figma has filed for IPO, meaning that a lot of the time
- 11:48is just speculation when companies will actually IPO.
- 11:51But when they file, they're kind of registering
- 11:54with the financial regulators.
- 11:55So they're saying, here are financials and we're ready to go.
- 11:58So the fact that it's done that means that it's a minute.
- 12:01It's going to happen very, very shortly.
- 12:04No date yet.
- 12:05But it was interesting when it filed, it's financial results.
- 12:10Because like I said, this is a competitor to Adobe and Canva.
- 12:14Canva is a private company.
- 12:15So we have limited knowledge on how it's doing,
- 12:18what it's revenue is, what it's profit is.
- 12:20But Adobe is public.
- 12:21So and Adobe hasn't really had any competitors
- 12:24listed on a stock exchange that we can compare it to, right?
- 12:28Whereas now it does.
- 12:29And so when Figma bought out its financial results
- 12:33to the public last week, Adobe's share price fell.
- 12:36Now, that to me says there's something in these reports
- 12:40or in these numbers that make Figma look better than Adobe.
- 12:44And so that's why investors are selling Adobe.
- 12:48One of those things is that it's revenue is growing at 50%,
- 12:53which is massive, which means that it must be taking share of someone.
- 12:59And because we don't have Canva's results,
- 13:02we can only assume that it's Adobe.
- 13:04The other thing in there is that investors found pretty interesting
- 13:07was just like how much it's infiltrated these top tier companies.
- 13:11So Figma is now used by a whopping 95% of Fortune 500 companies.
- 13:20And by that, I mean, that is the top 500 private and public companies.
- 13:24You know how we talk about the S&P 500,
- 13:26which is the top 500 public companies.
- 13:29The Fortune 500 is the top 500 private and public companies.
- 13:33So anyway, it's done phenomenally well.
- 13:36And I think it's done a lot better than people expected.
- 13:39And that, to me, as an investor, would say that,
- 13:45okay, it must be taking share off Adobe.
- 13:47So therefore, that's why Adobe's share price has fallen.
- 13:50Also, Adobe tried to buy Figma not that long ago.
- 13:54And it went to buy it for $20 billion.
- 13:57And it nearly got through and in the regulator,
- 14:00or like the, I guess they're like competition watchdog,
- 14:03was like, actually, if you guys combine
- 14:05that's two big players in the kind of design software space,
- 14:09we're not going to allow it to happen.
- 14:10The deal fell over.
- 14:11So yeah, it's going to be an interesting IPO
- 14:14because you've got also, you've got Canva in the sidelines going,
- 14:17if Figma does really well, we'll be next off the rank.
- 14:21If Figma doesn't do very well,
- 14:23we'll probably chill out on IPO plans as well.
- 14:27But Canva is coming and that'll be a lot more exciting
- 14:30and we'll definitely do a deep dive on that when it does come.
- 14:33Nothing's been set in stone yet.
- 14:34It's all just rumors.
- 14:36But one thing I wanted to highlight with this as well is
- 14:38this is an interesting time, right?
- 14:40Because not that long ago, we were talking about how
- 14:44the stock market was falling.
- 14:45Things were feeling very, very uncertain.
- 14:48We had tariffs.
- 14:49We had global growth slowing down.
- 14:51We had Trump in power, we still do.
- 14:53Whereas now the S&P 500,
- 14:58so the US stock market has hit record highs.
- 15:02We have reached levels we had never seen before
- 15:05with the S&P 500.
- 15:06So yes, the S&P 500 goes up and down and up and down.
- 15:09But over the long term, it goes up into the right.
- 15:12And now we saw a bit of a bigger than we usually do down
- 15:17for a four of the stock market in April.
- 15:20That is rebounded really strongly and has shot past
- 15:24any previous level.
- 15:26So things are looking really, really optimistic
- 15:28in the stock market right now.
- 15:29And that is why we're seeing companies like Figma IPO.
- 15:33Because you want IPO, we need friends feeling you
- 15:35far, we need friends feeling excited
- 15:37and the market's doing really well.
- 15:38You don't want IPO when things are falling
- 15:40because no doubt if you IPO and the market falls,
- 15:43you're sure price is going to fall.
- 15:44So this is why when things are going really well
- 15:47in the stock market, it leads to this euphoria.
- 15:49You see companies IPO and people get excited.
- 15:51And this is what we call these bubbles, right?
- 15:53And then these bubbles burst.
- 15:54And then everyone's like, oh my gosh,
- 15:55that's the nature of investing.
- 15:57But over the long term, stock markets always recover.
- 16:01And this is what we've seen.
- 16:03We have seen, it hasn't even been the long term.
- 16:06I remember we did a workshop.
- 16:08You know, anyone was like a bit concerned,
- 16:10which is fair, it's money.
- 16:11It's, you know, the stock market.
- 16:14And we were just like, you know what,
- 16:16sit back, relax.
- 16:17What does it keep calm and carry on?
- 16:19Because markets always recover.
- 16:20And they have and they recovered very, very strongly.
- 16:23Anyway, in terms of getting access to IPO's
- 16:27Figma or any others, it's actually really hard.
- 16:30And it's frustrating because we want to get access
- 16:32to these exciting companies, right?
- 16:33We want to invest in them.
- 16:34We want to invest in them when they're private
- 16:36and then when they become public.
- 16:37But it is becoming easier to invest in private companies.
- 16:40You know, there's platforms where you can do it.
- 16:42But it is still quite difficult.
- 16:44It's much more difficult than in public companies
- 16:46where you just go on and you can, you know,
- 16:48buy shares through shares ease or trading to until
- 16:52or any platform that you use, any trading platform.
- 16:55But also, if you're investing in companies,
- 16:59you should be investing in ones that you think
- 17:01will grow over the long term.
- 17:03So you shouldn't be worried about trying to get
- 17:06that what might be like a really strong day of performance,
- 17:11the first day that an IPO is or anything like that.
- 17:13I can tell you, most IPOs, there is better opportunities
- 17:20to buy them down the track if that makes sense.
- 17:22So yes, their share price might do really well
- 17:25because they're the shiny new toy on the stock exchange.
- 17:28But there's always opportunities around the corner.
- 17:30And by that, I mean, sometimes their share price falls
- 17:32and you get it at a much cheaper price.
- 17:34Anyway, if you do believe in the company long term,
- 17:37you shouldn't be worried about those short term movements.
- 17:39You can buy on day one when it becomes a public company
- 17:42and hold it for the long term.
- 17:44In other news, we've got a new tax year in Australia.
- 17:47And this is important because their superannuation
- 17:51percentage is increasing.
- 17:52And by superannuation, I mean the pension,
- 17:55or the Kiwi Saver in New Zealand.
- 17:57And it is increasing from 11.5 to 12%.
- 18:02Which is massive.
- 18:03This is one of the highest contributions globally
- 18:07in terms of percent that they contribute to their retirement fund.
- 18:10And Australia has got one of the best
- 18:13pension superannuation schemes in the world.
- 18:15It's built up a pool of $4 trillion,
- 18:19which is 100% of the country's GDP.
- 18:24And by GDP, I'm in gross domestic product.
- 18:25And that's just a figure or a metric
- 18:29that is used to describe the size of a country.
- 18:33So the fact that Australia has its retirement funds
- 18:36is 100% of its GDP is massive, $4 trillion.
- 18:40Whereas if we compare that to New Zealand,
- 18:42we have 120 billion, which is 30% of our GDP.
- 18:46So we've only got a very small percentage,
- 18:48or much smaller percentage in retirement funds
- 18:52or in the kind of superannuation pool than Australia.
- 18:56But yet 12% is world class.
- 18:58And also it's the employer that contributes that right.
- 19:01And Australia had not employee an employer.
- 19:04So yeah, I mean, I remember when I was living in Sydney,
- 19:08I was there for three years.
- 19:09I had more in my superannuation or a pension in three years.
- 19:14And I did in seven years working in New Zealand.
- 19:17So you can kind of see,
- 19:19they've also increased their minimum wage in Australia,
- 19:23starting this financial year.
- 19:24So this is one of the highest minimum wages in the world.
- 19:30And you can see why there's such a brain drain
- 19:34from New Zealand to Australia, right?
- 19:36Like when you're getting four years,
- 19:39I was four years ahead in terms of my retirement funds,
- 19:43essentially, and all you're getting a higher minimum wage.
- 19:48And yeah, you can see why it is an attractive place
- 19:51to go and earn and live.
- 19:53And other news, Tesla, honestly, I'm kind of sick
- 19:56of talking about Tesla, but it does get a lot of attention
- 19:59and fair enough.
- 20:00It's got a very eccentric outspoken CEO,
- 20:03but sales have fallen to their lowest level in three years.
- 20:07So people are people and in the people I mean,
- 20:10investors are pissed.
- 20:12Remember Elon Musk, he's a CEO of Tesla,
- 20:15but he's also the CEO of SpaceX,
- 20:18his rocket company, X, which was Twitter.
- 20:22And he has recently, not anymore,
- 20:25but been in, and with the Trump administration and government.
- 20:28Those four roles are so time consuming.
- 20:34And then when you see one, Tesla,
- 20:36where sales have fallen to three years low,
- 20:39fair enough investors are pissed.
- 20:41They're like, hey, what have you been doing?
- 20:42You're obviously taking your RF ball,
- 20:44you're trying to juggle too many things.
- 20:46And so, yeah, investors are annoyed.
- 20:49The share price has fallen.
- 20:50I mean, he's not in with Trump anymore.
- 20:53He has come out and said to investors,
- 20:55look, I've realized, I'm going to spend more time on Tesla.
- 20:58But I don't see any sign of these sales turning around yet.
- 21:01And as a Tesla shareholder in a Tesla investor,
- 21:07I am getting increasingly worried that his
- 21:10buddy, buddy, nested with Donald Trump.
- 21:12And I know that's broken down now,
- 21:13but the fact that he was,
- 21:15I think there is a brand damage issue at Tesla.
- 21:20And I know it's the kind of the poster child company
- 21:23for decarbonization and reducing emissions.
- 21:27And they've been able to make electric vehicles
- 21:29profitably and all of that.
- 21:30And there's so many out there.
- 21:32And like it is, there's a massive company, right?
- 21:34And I get increasingly worried that there is brand damage
- 21:37to the Tesla brand.
- 21:38And that is super hard to come back from.
- 21:41Even today, people are like Nike,
- 21:42oh, no, they use child labor or they use,
- 21:45you know, and it's like they tried to shake that scandal
- 21:49so long ago, you know, it still wants them.
- 21:51So yeah, brand damage is pretty bad for a company
- 21:55and pretty hard to, I guess, come back from.
- 21:57It's like a bad reputation, right?
- 21:59It's really, really hard.
- 22:00And the sales figures like this that keep coming out,
- 22:03share price keep falling.
- 22:04Oh, I don't know what to do.
- 22:06It's tough, it's tough, it's tough.
- 22:07But two more quick things, Warren Buffett has just announced
- 22:11that he has donated $6 billion to a bunch of foundations
- 22:16and charities.
- 22:18I love Warren Buffett.
- 22:19He's so great.
- 22:20It's always been a thing that he's said there.
- 22:23But all his fortunes that he's built up
- 22:24in his investment company, Berkshire Hathaway,
- 22:27he is not going to be giving that to his children.
- 22:30He's not going to be passing it off to them,
- 22:32which I kind of admire.
- 22:34Like you've got one of the wealthiest men in the world,
- 22:37who is like, no, my children are going to work
- 22:41and make their own wealth and not just
- 22:43be given the fruits of my labor.
- 22:46Anyway, so he's donated a whole lot of money,
- 22:49billions and billions of dollars.
- 22:50He's donated about $60 billion over the last 20 years
- 22:54to a whole lot of foundations.
- 22:56And the main one is the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation,
- 23:00which tackles things like global health, poverty,
- 23:04education.
- 23:05But in particular, he has Warren Buffett
- 23:08has supported a lot of foundations
- 23:11in the space of the woman's rights and fertility and all
- 23:14of that.
- 23:15So so great to see that, even though I said that women
- 23:19invest in this way, that there are some really, really great men,
- 23:23very powerful, wealthy men that also invest in this way
- 23:28and support charities and foundations
- 23:30and do good with their money.
- 23:31Lastly is Glacenbury.
- 23:33So another reason I want to cry is
- 23:37that I didn't get a ticket to Glacenbury.
- 23:41I thought I had one, and then I didn't.
- 23:44Anyway, I am very gutted about not going to Glacenbury.
- 23:47I went last year, and it was so fun.
- 23:48And anyway, the numbers have come out
- 23:50in terms of how much the festival makes, how many people
- 23:53are teemed at.
- 23:54So winding back the clock.
- 23:57Glacenbury started in 1970, 55 years ago,
- 24:00and it had 1,500 people attend.
- 24:03Which pertains quite a lot.
- 24:05Anyway, everyone paid one pound.
- 24:07They paid one pound to get into Glacenbury,
- 24:10and they got a pint of milk with that one pound,
- 24:12which is very cute.
- 24:13And this year, over 200,000 people attended,
- 24:15and they paid about 400 pounds of ticket,
- 24:18which is a lot of money.
- 24:19And anyway, it is expected that the festival
- 24:22made about 80 million pounds this year.
- 24:24And it's been quite contentious because there is this,
- 24:29I guess, charitable side to Glacenbury.
- 24:33And the very conscious of their impact on their surroundings
- 24:37in terms of the community, the land, and all of that.
- 24:41But it still made a profit of about 5 million pounds.
- 24:46So it is still, quote-unquote, a business.
- 24:49Anyway, there's been a few headlines
- 24:51that have been a bit pissy because I don't think they pay
- 24:54the artists very much.
- 24:55And they're like, you know what?
- 24:57You're making 5 million pounds in profit.
- 24:59You can afford to pay the artists, but yeah.
- 25:01Anyway, I guess there's a status thing
- 25:03of playing Glacenbury as well,
- 25:05which is what helps draw in these top artists
- 25:08rather than just the monetary value.
- 25:10Like, I think I remember Taylor Swift.
- 25:12She was made billion dollars from her tour, right?
- 25:14But otherwise, it's like, you could make,
- 25:17I think it was like 200 grand from Glacenbury.
- 25:20That's why we've run as asked why she's never done it.
- 25:23But anyway, I didn't contribute to any of these figures
- 25:26because I didn't go.
- 25:28But hopefully we'll be there next year.
- 25:30Oh no, there's not on next year.
- 25:32Anyway, hopefully the year after.
- 25:34But anyway, I'm absolutely exhausted.
