I dont care how much celebrities charge for merch/meet and greets/exclusive events

No one is being forced to pay £200 for a cameo or 5 grand to go to a meet and greet. Just because they're a small celeb doesn't mean they should charge a low amount they can put the price wherever they want and people will pay it or not. It's not newsworthy, yes to most people that would be an absurd price and 99% of people won't pay it but its based on how much of an inconvenience it is to the celeb not how desirable the event is.
I've never paid for anything like that imo its a complete waste but its just not a story that I care about.
