Some social media users are making fun of Kylie Jenner for asking her followers to support a crowdfunding campaign for her makeup artist.
Jenner, 23, reportedly shared a Instagram Story on Thursday, who urged her fans to donate to a GoFundMe created by the family of Samuel Rauda, a famous makeup artist who worked with the founder of Kylie Cosmetics.
Rauda suffered an accident that required “major surgery” on Sunday, March 14, according to the GoFundMe page.
Jenner shared a photo of Rauda’s most recent video along with the link to the crowdfunding site to encourage his followers to donate.

The GoFundMe monetary target was previously set at $ 60,000, but has exceeded that amount and has been updated with a new $ 120,000 target.
Jenner donated $ 5,000 to GoFundMe, as did actress Bella Thorne, who is also a celebrity client of Rauda. Other generous stars and beauty experts who have donated thousands of dollars include Sofia Richie, Bleta “BeBe” Rexha and Huda Kattan, according to the site’s main donor filter.
However, online critics took aim at Jenner for his ex-billionaire designation by Forbes. Although the business news outlet rescinded the beauty tycoon’s 10-digit net worth in May, social media users were still quick to say they thought their donation was too small.

“Kylie Jenner, who earns $ 19,000 an hour 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 health,” he tweeted. New York community activist Moumita Ahmed on Sunday morning. “Even billionaire employers like Kylie and Walmart are not willing to pay for their employees’ health care.”
Writer Charlotte Clymer claimed that Jenner’s donation is “buying a premium latte” for someone who has a net worth of $ 900 million.

“People are defending Kylie Jenner by pointing out that she donated $ 5,000 to her makeup artist’s GoFundMe doctor. Her net worth is $ 900 million. So that’s 0.000006% of her net worth. If her net worth was , say, $ 100,000, would be like donating 56 cents, “wrote Clymer. “Her makeup artist apparently needs $ 60k. Kylie Jenner paying this would be like someone with $ 100k of net worth saving $ 6.72 to pay for a friend’s medical bills.”
