For good or ill, Americans tolerate all sorts of self-indulgent behavior from our rich celebrities. Most of the time, we simply roll our eyes and move on with our lives.
However, when the uber-privileged pose as critics of privilege, we instinctively recoil from their repulsivevirtue-signaling.
At Monday’s Met Gala — the annual gathering of fashion-obsessed celebrities that doubles as a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City — actress Sarah Paulson wore an outfit designed to protest “the one percent,” prompting one user on the social media platform X to quip that “[s]he’s protesting herself and her friends.”
“What’s the name of this look?” a gala-goer asked in a clip posted to X.
“The one percent,” Paulson replied.
The “look” featured a dollar bill over the actress’s eyes, presumably to signify those blinded by money.

According to the real estate news websiteElite Agent, Paulson has an estimated net worth of $12 million.
In other words, theactress, perhaps best known for roles in “American Horror Story” and the feature film “12 Years a Slave,” looks suspiciously like a one-percenter herself.
