If you know about any famous social media influencer, Kylie Jenner is X times that influencer, whoever they are. She is the fourth most followed person on Instagram with 222 million followers (to put that into perspective, the Indian with the most Instagram followers, Virat Kohli recently broke the 100M follower record). Jenner’s net worth is about $900 million and she is the highest-paid celebrity of 2020 according to Forbes. Given these facts, people found her recent actions to be rather questionable:
Via an Instagram story, Kylie Jenner asked her fans to contribute to the medical expense fund on GoFundMe.com. She herself donated the princely sum of $5000 for her makeup artist’s lifesaving medical expenses.
People on Twitter obviously had a lot to say about Jenner’s actions. They thought that her ‘appeal’ and the tininess of her contribution were very telling.
This is a picture from Jenner’s own Instagram: a closet full of overpriced designer products that kind of speaks for itself.
Jenner is also known to buy expensive baubles for her little daughter.
When this is juxtaposed with the contribution made towards lifesaving surgery for someone, the contrast is a little obscene.
Given Jenner’s net worth, defraying Radua’s medical expenses is literally small change for her.
Someone did the math: for someone with a $100K net worth this would be about six dollars to pay the bill in its entirety.
The tweeple spoke about how the medical expenses would be a fraction of her daily income.
They weren't amused that Jenner sent out an appeal. They thought she was being quite callous while pretending to care.
The makeup artist does a great job, as do the cosmetic surgeons it was pointed out.
She does seem to owe a lot to those ‘artists’ for her transformation.
Samuel Rauda’s Medical Expense Fund is close to its target currently. People pointed out that even if Jenner didn’t personally pay, it was at her urging that people paid; her fans to be precise.
People also pointed out how many wealthy people tend to hire people on contract so that they don’t have to pay employment benefits, medical and so on. All in all, Kylie Jenner did not come off at all positively when she asked her fans to donate money for her makeup artist’s medical bills.
