Regarding the unrelatable part, she was already unrelatable in her 2018 special which was called "Relatable". She had jokes about getting lost in her house for example. Her life being unrelatable is (for better or worse) part of her shtick. She doesn't pretend to be a regular person like some other extremely rich comedians do but it comes out as tone deaf most of the time.

Loved “Relatable”. It was not funny. She wasn’t funny the whole set.  

 But she was at least aware that she had given up on trying to understand anything that is not super rich.  

 Like she could absolutely kill in front a crowd that is bored with super-yachts. But she admits she has no idea about people that have to check how much money is in their accounts.
