ETR USED IN A MSM HEADLINE
'Eat the rich': Backlash after Kylie Jenner asks fans to donate to injured makeup artistKylie Jenner has come under fire — not for her skincare products, or a shocking episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians , but, for asking for donations.
The 23-year-old cosmetics entrepreneur drew backlash after posting an Instagram story asking fans to help cover makeup artist Samuel Rauda’s medical expenses. As many social media users pointed out, Jenner’s net worth was estimated by Forbes to be US$700 million in October.
Rauda has done work for Jenner, Chrissy Teigen, Bebe Rexha, Bella Thorne and Khloe Kardashian, among others.

“May God watch over you and protect you @makeupbysamuel,” Jenner wrote on her Instagram story, along with a black-and-white photo of Rauda. “Everyone take a moment to say a prayer for Sam who got into an accident this past weekend. And swipe up to visit his (family’s) go fund me.”
According to the GoFundMe page , Rauda underwent “major surgery” earlier this month after he was in an unspecified accident. His family is currently asking for $120,000 to help cover his medical expenses.
Their initial goal was $60,000, according to Newsweek , but “sources close to” Jenner told TMZ that the original target amount of the GoFundMe was only $10,000, and the star’s donation pushed it over the edge.
As of Monday morning, they’ve received just under $100,000.
“ Kylie Jenner, a billionaire whose toddler has purses from Hermès, Chanel and Vuitton, wants you to donate the $60k her makeup artist needs for brain surgery,” tweeted @goldengateblond in response to Jenner’s Instagram callout.
As Insider reported , between June 2017 to June 2018, Jenner made about US$19,000 an hour, or about half-a-million dollars a day.
“Kylie Jenner makes almost half a million dollars everyday and she is still asking her relatively poor fans to pay for her friends $60,000 medical bills? Eat the rich,” user @JohnPangarakis1 wrote.
The GoFundMe page shows Jenner contributed only $5,000 to Rauda’s expenses, while rival beauty entrepreneur Huda Kattan, of Huda Beauty, donated $10,000.
According to Forbes , Kylie earned US$540 million, pre-tax, for selling 51 per cent of her company Kylie Cosmetics to Coty, a multinational beauty brand whose “portfolio” includes brands like Calvin Klein, Gucci, Marc Jacobs and Tiffany & Co.
Originally, the publication claimed that Jenner was the youngest “self-made” billionaire in 2019. But, later corrected itself in 2020, and claimed that Jenner was not actually a billionaire. But, w hether she’s a billionaire or not, Jenner certainly has the funds to cover Rauda’s surgery — or at least donate more than $5,000 — say social media users.
“Her makeup artist apparently needs $60k. Kylie Jenner paying that would be like someone with $100k net worth sparing $6.72 to pay off a friend’s medical bills,” writer Charlotte Clymer said on Twitter . “In other words, paying off her friend’s medical bills would be like buying a premium latte for Jenner.”
Jenner also owns her own private jet, which was estimated to cost between $50 million to $70 million, as well as a $36.5 million mansion.
“It’s not even about the fact that she won’t pay for the surgery herself. Every single last one of Kylie Jenner’s sisters is a millionaire. Her parents are millionaires. Her friends are millionaires. But she asked the MIDDLE CLASS for money,” tweeted @Princess_Mia_95
