A good reminder to take finance/economy influencers with a grain of salt, especially when no data source is credited. Most recently, Dow Jones was sounding off about this "index" as well as a "plastic surgery tax break" for the famous (promptly after Kylie Jenner revealed her specific procedure). Even if there is truth to an extent, the data is lacking.
