While one user

writing, "Kylie Jenner asking for people to donate to a GoFundMe after her make up artist was in a car accident is a TOUGH look. The pajamas she woke up in are probably worth 60k", another

, "Kylie Jenner, net worth 900M, is doing a GoFundMe (60K) for her stylists emergency surgery after a road wreck, and only donated 5k. I mean, this is absolutely fn disgusting. No one is coming to save us. Certainly not the 1%. Medicare for All. Now." One user also went on to

, "You know what’s funny to me? People like kylie jenner sharing Gofundme links for something that wants to raise $20,000. You make half a million dollars by posting a SELFIE."

imagine being kylie jenner and being wealthy enough to pay for one of your employee’s emergency brain surgery and just not paying for it and asking the likely broke 20 year olds who follow u on instagram to donate to a gofundme for your employee. literally disgusting.

#Billionaires like Kylie Jenner sharing GoFundMe for close friends? Speaks to BIGGER ISSUE. We make rich people richer. We keep giving celebrities our hard earned money when clearly many of them wouldn't let go of their money even to save a life of a close friend. #KylieJenner pic.twitter.com/CRCgEy98J2

I told kylie jenner I needed $15 for gas money and she started me a gofundme

sooo kylie jenner (the billionaire) donated $5k to her friend/employee’s gofundme and instead of sending the link to her (billionaire) friends, she posts it publicly to people already struggling due to a pandemic she’s ignored. right?

So Kylie Jenner, according to Insider, makes 20k every single hour and shared a 60k gofundme of her FRIEND who got in an accident for us to donate. Am I missing something or are celebrities nuts??

Imagine working for Kylie Jenner (also friend), you get into a serious car accident & then she post your gofundme link cause you need help paying for surgery 😭
— Selina Kyle (@Curlyhairfck_)

Kylie Jenner, a billionaire (yes you heard that right, with a B) has made a gofundme for her makeup artist who was in a car accident.

Eat the rich.

Not Kylie Jenner opening a GoFundMe for her make up artist who needs a $60000 dollars for his operation when she's literally a BILLIONAIRE. Siz, open that goddamn purse and fund your friend!
