Argumentum ad crumenam is a logical fallacy of thinking a conclusion is correct because the person making the argument is rich.
- Example:
- If you're so smart, why aren't you rich?
- I think Mary is a good role model. She's pretty rich so she must be doing something right.
This fallacy is notably prevelant in art, movie, video game, or music criticism; in the form "you can try to critize product X but it makes millions so you don't count".
The opposite is the argumentum ad lazarum.
