Because America is Dumb, Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop is Now Worth 250,000,000 Dollars

[muriel_volestrangler]

I guess Gwyneth Paltrow sold a hell of a lot of jade eggs, vaginal steamers, and coffee enemas.

Her pseudoscience emporium just raised $50 million from investors in a Series C round. On paper, that means her company is worth an estimated quarter-billion dollars. They’re going to use the cash to go international.
...
Paltrow’s “lifestyle” brand, for people with no critical thinking skills but plenty of cash, has an audience that’s gullible enough to make her wealthy. Remember: Her business doesn’t just sell frivolous items that have no effect. Goop promotes medically dubious ideas that cause real harm.

They also sell a $15,000 solid gold dildo. (Because why would your body ever settle for one worth only $14,500?)

5. It is amazing just how many people believe in woo

Even on here. It drives me crazy.

6. Even on here. So true

I would add the vast majority of supplements to the woo. Users will always respond with anecdotal evidence but peer-reviewed science rarely backs it up.

Who's buying this crap? Why? I must know.
