Kylie Jenner Sparks Backlash for Asking Fans to Contribute to Makeup Artist's GoFundMe After Accident
Kylie Jenner is getting plenty of backlash.
The 23-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians reality TV star posted a request on Thursday (March 18) for fans to donate to makeup artist Samuel Rauda‘s GoFundMe to raise funds for brain surgery after a reported car accident that resulted in internal bleeding.

Given Kylie‘s estimated net worth of $900 million, fans were outraged that the star wouldn’t just foot the bill herself.
At the same time, some of Kylie‘s fans came to her defense, pointing out that Kylie donated $5,000 on the GoFundMe. The GoFundMe goal was originally $60,000, and is now at $97,458 with a current $120,000 goal.

Kylie Jenner, who makes $19K/hr asking for $$$ from her fans to help her make up artist pay for a $60,000 surgery, is an excellent example of why we need universal healthcare. Even billionaire employers like Kylie and Walmart aren’t willing to pay for their employees' healthcare.

Folks are defending Kylie Jenner by pointing out she donated $5,000 to her makeup artist's medical GoFundMe. Her net worth is $900M.
So, that's 0.000006% of her net worth.
If your net worth were, say, $100k, it would be like donating 56 cents.
