And now, let us dive into the Financial Times’ latest interview/”gloating-session” with Mistress Mariah Carey. So, what are M’s thoughts on The Moola?
What stopped her from taking on more commercial ventures earlier in her career, she says, was that she could not understand why some other stars seemed to need “this excess of money�. But she has since realised: “The more famous you become the more money you actually need.�
The need for time off and privacy from prying photographers means “you start to look for places that are very, very, very high end, that are very private, that are very, you know, expensive.� She would be a singer “if I never made a dime from it,� she insists. But her music was, from the start, also “a way out, and a way to not be struggling and not to be in fear of the rug being pulled out from under me�.

Very interesting. As for her famous Glitter debacle, Mariah lays down a simple comparison in support her debut movie.
When she mentions Glitter’s poor showing at the box office, she casually points out that Curtis “50 Centâ€? Jackson’s film, Get Rich or Die Trying, “debuted lower than Glitter and made less money, I believeâ€?. Jackson is the only artist ahead of her in the race for bestselling album of the year in the US.
And lastly, what’s Mariah’s take on why EMI booted her prostitute ass to the curb (w/ $28 mil check in her custom LV bag)?
So where did EMI go wrong? The answer, she says, is that they over-worked her by rushing to produce albums to recoup their vast outlay. Furthermore, “they underestimated my talent, and I say that in the most humble way because my talent is a gift from God.�

Keep those penises pointed up & those skirts super short!! We love you, Mariah!
