An sewing machine can cost up to 8000 bucks... 80000 bucks in total then.... That's an average yearly salary for most people... I am talking about the Bernina 790 PRO. Bernina cheapest is 200. There are rarely a Bernina that costs 500 bucks. Most are in fact over the thousands for those claiming Bernina doesn't exist. It does and the most expensive one is over 9000. So I rounded up at 8000. Also some Bernina's costs 16,499 dollars. Others merely 10 k bucks.

While it was expensive that doesn't mean that it was expensive enough to cause a dent in her wallet. You have to factor in how often she donates pretty pricey things. 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%.

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.

[@PeacePetal]

Yeah, this seems like a more realistic estimate.

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.

[@obsidianblaze145]

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.

[@HawkinaBox]

Yet there’s Manehatten where ponies dress up.

[@CherryHotSauce]

One gem being particularly valuable doesn’t make them all valuable. Maud said most of those gems were common and worthless. And a sale every ten minutes isn’t even that realistic for a fast food restaurant, let alone a custom dress shop when rarity has confirmed she isn’t into mass production.

[@PeacePetal]

Yeah, I agree. There’s a lot of overestimating in this video.

[@tourmelion9221]

Maybe she just doesn’t check her pre-orders till it goes on the market and her website is set up for a new order to only go on the system every 10 minutes, equestria is massive and the shipping costs should be low cause of pegasi, also, I doubt many people in equestria are poor so more people would be willing to splash out for luxury goods. 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.

[@Camphorous]

3 yards of fabric for a single dress is a vast underestimate. Look at all those ruffles and layers. Expecially if she cuts on the bias it will take at least 10. Also, ponies irl are still bigger than humans. A large pony at 14hh is like 900lbs. A medium pony is still like 500lbs.

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.

That stereotype of teachers being underpaid wouldn't really apply here. MLP:FiM was produced in Canada, where teachers make up to $120k per year. It would still be a drop in the bucket compared to her dressmaking, though.

17:45 ALLLLLL THE MONEY

[@Jenkinsmum]

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?

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

I'm so happy channels like this exist XD

New star strike video after so long.... But I mean, this one was basically a film theory video (not exactly but similar run time and similar kinda of subject) No wonder it took so long, great job.

[@vixenimoon]

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.

[@coolname3926]

she would only be nearing half a trillion if it was 475,000,000,000 and not 47,000,000,000

Star Strike being our my little pony math teacher😭😭💀💀

[@Star_Strike]

You're welcome

[@wjgthatsit2357]

Maybe everything costs so much in the show because of INFLATION(and I mean the money kind). And I thought Scrooge mcduck was rich, he’s still a pauper compared to rarity

[@miracledinner2244]

As a huge fan of Rarity, this is possibly my favourite fan video ever about her. Great job.

[@DILLPICKLEZZ23]

Hes baaaasaaaaaaaack!

[@tyty334351]

Rarity and Scrooge are the richest cartoon characters ever made. Change my mind.

[@MrSonicHedgehog]

How much do you think she charged the others to make their Gala outfits or do you think she gave them to them free of charge after making sure Hoity Toity had a good impression of them?

[@Star_Strike]

She mentioned that they were a gift

[@MrSonicHedgehog]

@@Star_Strike it's been so long since I've watched Season 1 so I couldn't remember

[@rubymoon72]

Well don’t forget Rarity has travel, food, school (for sweetie bell) and events expense. Also i belive Rarity would pay for her employees a higher salary

[@cherrypiekitten8013]

im pretty sure rarity is wealthy because she has her own home multiple successful businesses i respect you for counting those gems

[@MafuyuOribe]

Thank you for solving my questions that are so stupid nobody knew

[@StarzGecko]

Fanfics about to go wild O.o

[@trifosu1386]

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.

[@NovaBerryBlue]

This is lowkey best episode its giving film theory r.i.p. matty patty thats just a theory A PONY THEORY

[@Ama_tullah]

Oh yeah she BANKED 😂 I don't blame her though, apply the pressure lol

[@MintyFreshCupcakes]

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

[@TheOfficialVolcania]

I Used To Have An Insanely Huge Crush On Rarity. After Finding This Out About Rarity, I Love Her Even More Now. 💎💎💎

When business Star comes out it's gonna be fun.

Rarity a Queen she can literally buy Canterlot.

[@ShadowlordDio]

she doesnt even need to make dresses . she can just sell diamonds she finds for free with her magic talent. the rare gems rarity find are precious dear

[@summersweete09]

Your videos are great always make me laugh and damn that amount is insane wow!

[@MasterRX56]

I love the fact that you give such an amazing MatPat vibes. I'm in shock.

[@sarahbaker1176]

Great Video. My only potential nitpick is that it doesn't consider how many dresses Rarity could feasibly be making. We have multiple instances suggesting she probably is not able to make all the orders she could receive if she hired additional seemstresses. During season 1 Suited For Success, Hoity Toity requests a dozen of each of the dresses, or sixty dresses in total, made for the fashion show by "next Thursday." Rarity looks nervous/anxious at the request, suggesting it was rather an ask. She could already have been full on requests, but given she was not very well known at the time, it would mean that her max capacity for number of dresses was not very high, and that number would not go up just because her number of stores does. Similarly with the whole group working together in Rarity Takes Manehattan they are able to make 8 dresses in a night. We also know that Rarity must not always be fully booked, either by choice or demand, because she uses some of her time to make outfits as gifts, things like the CMC's outfits for their school play, or last minute spending three days on Cadances wedding dress, suggesting she had no orders for that time period. I would guess that Rarity is usually able to make 5/6 dresses per day up to about 10 when she throws work/life balance out of the window. That would still be a ridiculous amount of money she'd be making, but she simply would not have the time to be making as many dresses as she'd have potential orders later in the series.

[@nos2342]

in Rarity Takes Manehattan, Rarity's Hotel Chic Fashion Line of four dress is created by the entire main six in one setting afternoon till dawn or at best 18 hours. That's 108 pony hours of labor across 4 dresses or about 27 pony hours per dress. Making her Chic unique and Magnifique dresses take at least 1 per day UNOIQUE outfit. While according to CoutureNotebook. a typical High Courture dress can take up to 700 hours to create and e generally costs between $40,000-80,000 making a pace of 1 per day magical.

[@maybelater6282]

Did you mention Yak-Yakistan as she mentioned in last episode? We also gotta substitute for where else she could've opened a shop.

[@Star_Strike]

OH MY GOSH! You're right!!!! I missed that!

[@maybelater6282]

@@Star_Strike Lmao it's easy to miss. If you ever do a part 2, I'd love to see what you come up with!

[@15thparadox66]

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)
