She has a serious amount of money to spare. She strikes me as a Warren Buffet type. Just because she donates a couple billion dollars doesn't actually mean she is donating an even slightly notable portion of her vast wealth. It probably totals out to less than a 1%.

If Rarity is making that, it’s pretty obvious princesses will have more 💀 especially celestia and luna, twilight is a different case however, we see her take spike bed shopping, that would usually be very expensive, although she likely gets discounts due to her title, Candence however, is likely either just as or richer than Rarity, considering their currency is likely to be much more accessible. Also considering she usually, if not only, sells to wealthy ponies (most wealthy ponies able to attend royal gala’s) they’re likely to pay lots of money, also taking into account how little ponies actually wear clothing outside of the crystal empire and canterlot, twilight never wore clothes while she lived in canterlot, and considering she was attending celestia’s school, her parents must be rather wealthy, it’s likely Rarity is just rich compared to common ponies, celestia is likely to be the richest pony, so it’s not actually that far fetched.

The most expensive outfit worn by Taylor Swift on tour is a $13K dress, so that's probably a better price to assign to Sapphire Shore's costume.

The show makes it clear her dresses are quality over quantity given how disgusted she was at the idea of automating the sowing process, how she tries to brand herself as a fancy fashionista who designs original dresses for the elite, and her perfectionist personality. So it would make sense her niche is selling a few expensive dresses from time to time and taking orders from wealthy clients for custom dresses. When you consider 90% of the population is naked it makes sense. Clothing is a luxury not a necessity. Ponies would rathe be naked than buy bad clothing, and the typical clothed pony has money to spare. So she should lean into that.

Celestia is a benevolent and responsible ruler, she most definitely has some sway on minimum wage law, and she’s old enough to have an understanding of most everything going on in equestria, people in such a state of stability should be thriving.

I’ll be honest. It’s really genuinely impossible to accurately calculate the monetary system of mlp. Because the cost of something is based off of the rarity of materials, cost of labor, and demand. In a world where crystals are everywhere, the labor of a unicorn compared to an earth pony being so drastically different from each other, and the demand of clothes also being different thanks to nudity being completely socially acceptable, all of this makes it nearly impossible to accurately value individual items we don’t have known values for. Like how much rent is or how much celestia’s crown is worth, things like that.

With Rarity finding gems with ease, the value of those common gems can be as high as gemstones in real life. If we knew what the dresses were made of, we'd know their value. It does seem that Rarity has very expensive taste with possibly silk, satin, pure cotton and other good quality fabrics. She could easy profit from any rough gem if she hires a gem cutter. The problem is that Rarity is not a mineralogist, that's Maud's expertise. Regardless of the true value of Rarity's gems and materials, keep in mind that she represents generosity so she would reduce the cost of dresses so that the average mare can afford them. She might save time and money if she could teleport herself and her belongings if she took extensive lessons from Twilight and Starlight. With the money Rarity has (not including local taxes and bills) she must be richer than the princesses of Equestria. Next up, how many acres of apples does the apple family grow?

Keep in mind that Hasbro itself is worth $8.39 billion. Meaning she could buy the entire company, and still have $38 billion left.

This video was crazy awesome it was fun seeing the numbers rise to crazy heights with how much Rarity makes. I nearly lost my mind went i saw the final amount. Maybe one day for a part two to this video we add in sales from the books and comics just so we can see Rarity reach the Trillions. Awesome video Star Strike it was a lot of fun to watch!!!!

BBB Hot Take: G5 would've had a more interesting story if the main antagonist was a changeling (and by proxy Misty would be one as well). I think a plot about him trying to sacrifise pony-kind to bring his long-dead kind back, and to spite Twilight specifically. I mean just thinm about it. There are no changelings in G5, and him being the only surviving member of a forgotten race that starved to death because of a byproduct of something they never had anything to do with is just so grimmdark and tragic, and someone who genuinely believed in love and helping each other, only to be burned, betrayed and abandoned in the worst possible way, even if it wasn't intentional, is one metal sobstory

@vixenimoon Ай бұрын

Great episode! Love the enthusiasm! ♡ My only real issue with this is the over estimation of the worth of the gems on each piece. Even though they don't give defined names to the gem, the tiny red gem that could buy an industrial pet dryer would be close to that of a red beryl, where as the larger red and blue gems are more common rubies and sapphires. The red beryl, with its cut, color and clarity, since carat can't be determined, but, given its handled by Rarity, we can assume it's close to a full carat, it would be worth close to $9000 alone. While the large rubies and sapphires would be about $4000 each. The smaller rounded gems of rubies, sapphires, and likely yellow jasper with the gold trimming would roughly be $500-800 apiece. So on the 400 gem garment we have 30 large gems (rubies and sapphires), 34 if you count the 4 medium sized ones on the hind legs, and the rest can be averaged out to $650 per gem. So, we take the 34 gems at $4000/gem= 136k Then we take the 366 small gems at $650/gem= 237k So, this gem encrusted elvis inspired piece is roughly worth an astonishingly low $378,000, marked up to $450,000(plus tax) for profit margins. The math isn't wrong, and she is making a TON of money regardless, but using the super rare tiny gem as the basis for all the math does give quite a difference in cost.

This was a fun one. Who knows, maybe those famous ponies that buy her dresses make billions. Canterlot is also where most of the nobles of Equestria live and nobles might mean even more billion making ponies. We do have Prince Blue blood who is a literal prince so he might as well own a part of Equestria's economy and other ponies like Fancy Pants. Plus she seems to have almost no rival (Maybe Polomare at some point) in this business and the clothing industry makes billions alone so she owns that market.

@MintyFreshCupcakes Ай бұрын

Very impressive math here! I also think something to consider is that barter is still very common in Equestria. So for the tiny red gem being worth so much; a pony could have had an industrial drier but they needed the red gem. Especially since gems in this world can have magical properties

makes me think how specifically the mane six made money to afford things like food, rent, travelling, etc. Pinkie pie works for the cakes and I think thats her source of income unless they just let her work there so all her paychecks go towards rent. Applejack has the apple farm. Rarity has the boutique. Rainbow dash could get paid to deal with the weather. Celestia probs pay twilights bills but im not sure about fluttershy. (Im referring to their possible jobs in season 1 only)
