I'd be mad as hell if my daddy paid some dude off to marry me, what kind of message is that?

I don't think that is totally true. The money is in the writing and producing of materials, NOT solely being a singer.
As a writer, you get money whenever someone uses your material OR re-makes YOUR song. The money IS in writing. So, yeah...she's getting paid her songs are EVERYWHERE.
There are many artists out there we have not heard of who are writers. When artists like Usher, etc. make the money with the hits...so are the writers.
ETA: That's why Lionel Richie won't go broke...he is a songwriter!
