Kylie Jenner is a billionaire and her makeup artist friend got into a car accident and needed $60,000 so she started a gofundme and only donated $5,000 — ☭ (@bintharamm) March 20, 2021 Imagine being a billionaire who makes $450,000 a day and not be willing to pay $60,000 to save your friend’s life. Twitter has been bursting with the breaking news that in midst of an emotionally and financially traumatic year for most of the world, Kylie Jenner shared a GoFundMe made by the family members of her former makeup artist Samuel Rauda.
Kylie Jenner appears to have taken that 'when life gives you lemons' saying to heart.
After her Snapchat was hacked -- which is awful but also bold, since she's pretty much the queen of Snapchat -- Kylie took to Twitter to share an eye-popping photo of herself in a see-through yellow bra.
Honestly, it's good that she shared this on Twitter. If Kylie'd posted this photo to Instagram, she might have gotten reported.
Whoever hacked her Snapchat hasn't leaked anything compromising of her.
Honestly, they may have just gotten nothing.
(Kylie's a celebrity and, though she's still a teenager, she seems to already be a serial monogamist -- she might limit sending nudes to texts)
It's also possible that someone's trying to blackmail her, though she seems unconcerned.
And honestly, even if the hacker has nudes, they might be getting cold feet.
(As well they should)
But, perhaps to show how chill she is about the whole situation, Kylie shared this photo on Sunday night.
You can see why she might have hesitated to share this photo over Instagram.
Not because she doesn't look amazing -- she does.
But because you do not have to have Cara Delevingne's preternatural ability to locate nipples through clothing to spot Kylie's.
Instagram, as we know, is notoriously terrified of lady nipples.
Twitter, on the other hand, is totally fine with that.
(On the other hand, they have nazis and terrorists using their platform to send death threats on a daily basis, so ... no platform's perfect)
Kylie's incredible figure is getting into the range of top-heavy '80s models now.
(Whether she got that way with surgery or at this stage of puberty is ... a topic of considerable debate.)
And, that kind of figure is not everybody's type, but hopefully Kylie's body matches how she wants to look and not what she imagines that anyone else wants or expects from her.
But she looks all kinds of hot.
Like, Kylie does sexy photoshoots all of the time, but she usually isn't this ... nippley.
She also shared this (above) photo as a 'sneak peek' of a photoshoot.
In the Instagram post (no nip-nops here, so she's in the clear), Kylie said that she's 'shooting some looks' from her upcoming Birthday Collection.
At Kylie Cosmetics, of course.
All in all, she's been a busy girl.
Remember that, throughout all of this, Kylie's been filming Life of Kylie.
(And we more than suspect that Kylie will go out of her way to drive up attention leading up to the premiere)
In case you've forgotten, yes, that's Kylie's very own reality series.
Even with what we've already heard about Kylie Jenner's net worth, it looks like she's determined to rake in even more money than her siblings.
It makes a lot of sense, too.

Demographically, Kylie has a wider appeal, right?
Kim Kardashian is a married mother of two.
Like, there are plenty of adults who pretty much tune out even on scripted television when there's a pregnancy storyline, because it doesn't interest them and it isn't relatable.
It's hard to imagine that a lot of teens and young twenty-somethings, one of the most coveted demographics, are still able to relate to Kim and Kourtney.
They're both moms who are nearly 40.
There's a huge market for them, of course.
But if you want to get your hooks back into that youth demographic like the Kardashians first did a decade ago, you want Kylie.
(Assuming that the demographic is even willing to tune in -- makeup sales don't guarantee viewers, folks)
Recently, Kylie Jenner tweeted all about Life of Kylie.
The 8-episode first season premieres August 6th (that's so soon!).
Episodes will only be a half-hour in length, because not everyone has an hour to spend (and also she won't have to come up with that much filler, let's be real).
Her dogs will be in it, thank goodness.
So ... we guess that we'll all find out about that in a couple of weeks.
In the mean time, it looks like Kylie's going to tide us all over with some sexy selfies.
Kylie Jenner Twitter Page
That'll work.
Kylie Jenner, a member of the Kardashian family of reality television stars, received criticism on social media after asking her followers to provide financial support for a GoFundMe page that was aimed at helping an injured makeup artist.
The GoFundMe page explains that Samuel Rauda “underwent major surgery” and “has a long road to recovery ahead of him.” The statement ends with “Please know that a donation of any amount is greatly appreciated. The Lord bless you abundantly!” It is signed by the “Rauda Family,” with a Bible verse from Romans 8:28 —“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
Jenner has over 222 million followers on Instagram and reportedly posted information about the page on her Instagram story, which has expired since she put it up. Images of the post have made their way onto social media, however.
Jenner posted a link to the GoFundMe page, writing, “may God watch over you and protect you @makeupbysamuel everyone take a moment to say a prayer for sam who got into an accident this past weekend. and swipe up to visit his families go fund me”
Users took to Twitter to criticize the wealthy Jenner for not paying off the medical expenses herself. Jenner made Forbes’ list of America’s Self-Made Women in 2020 and was reportedly worth $700 million in October of last year. In May of last year, Forbes took away Jenner’s “billionaire” status, citing inaccurate claims made by the star and others about her business and wealth.
Still, social media users were not happy with Jenner asking for money from those who assumedly have less funds to spare than she does. One user tweeted, “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”

Some even used the opportunity to make political statements about the wealthy and healthcare.
Moumita Ahmed, a candidate for City Council in New York, tweeted, “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.”

In their negative response to Jenner’s post, some took to Twitter with the phrase “Eat the rich,” noting their disapproval of Jenner’s request for support when they see the situation as one she could financially alleviate herself. Others, however, defended Jenner, saying that she is not responsible for someone else’s bills.
Members of the Kardashian-Jenner family have been criticized in the past by members of the left. The Daily Wire reported, “In 2015, Kylie Jenner drew blowback for a photoshoot in which she darkened her skin to emphasize the glitter on her face. Critics accused her of wearing blackface.”
The family also received accusations of cultural appropriation for their businesses. After Kendall Jenner announced the launch of a tequila brand earlier this year, “social media condemned Jenner for allegedly culturally appropriating Mexican culture.” Kim Kardashian was also called out for a similar offense after she named her shapewear clothing line “Kimono,” before changing the name to “Skims.”
CNN reported: “A source close to Jenner noted that the initial GoFundMe goal was $10,000, at which time Jenner donated $5,000. An account under Jenner’s name on GoFundMe shows a donation of $5,000.”
The fundraiser now has a goal of $120,000 and had reached over $99,000 as of early Monday.
