When comparing the price of MasterClass to other courses, you've really got to compare it to other similar memberships. These days, with a yearly membership and constant additions to the content on offer, MasterClass is actually a lot better value than it used to be. MasterClass uses its current price point because of the model they use. By using celebrity instructors, there's obviously a greater cost. I don't know if they use a revenue-share model or payment upfront for instructors, but I can't imagine it being cheap to get the quality of instructors.
