Tina Fey Criticizes Wealthy Celebrities with Side Hustles: 'I Kind of Hate Money'
Tina FeyIn a candid discussion on the "Good Hang with Amy Poehler" podcast, comedian and actress Tina Fey opened up about her disdain for wealthy celebrities who pursue side hustles. Known for her roles in "Mean Girls" and "Saturday Night Live", Fey admitted, "I have a problem with rich people having a side hustle. If you already have like $200 million, why are you looking for more?" Her comments sparked discussion alongside fellow comedian Amy Poehler, who urged Fey to adopt a more modern perspective, suggesting that she learn from Gen Z’s less judgmental attitudes.
Amidst playful banter, Poehler praised Fey's "incredible hair" and humorously suggested she launch a related business venture, to which Fey replied, "I do kind of hate money. I just need enough to live and feel safe", expressing a lack of enthusiasm for accumulating excessive wealth. This personal philosophy set her apart from celebrities like Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Kim Kardashian, who have become billionaires through expansive business endeavors outside their entertainment careers.
Fey also shared a curious anecdote about an unnamed 1980s actress who ventured into selling homeopathic children’s medications. Fey questioned the legitimacy of such endeavors, quipping, "Why on this Earth would I trust an actress for pediatric medications?" Yet, despite her reluctance towards side hustles, Fey continues to maintain a successful career, focused primarily on her passions in entertainment rather than diversifying for financial gain. Her comments have ignited a broader conversation about the motivations behind celebrity enterprises and the societal pressures around wealth and success.
