Star Mass how can affect of event horizon. Because I think singularity affects event horizon not mass.
 

Discussion

The event horizon of a black hole is determined by the total mass in the black hole only. It does not matter how it is distributed, but GR predicts that all mass concentrates in something like a singularity.
