There have been discussions amongst fans over whether or not it is appropriate for Hollywood actors to create GoFundMe sites for their pals when they can afford to contribute the whole amount themselves. The three celebrities at the heart of the storm are Kylie Jenner, Megan Fox, and Bella Hadid. In 2021, the star of The Kardashians received backlash for sharing a GoFundMe for a cosmetics artist with her millions of fans. Fox also just publicized a campaign for her friend’s ailing father, while Hadid launched a fundraiser for her carer after the release of updated images documenting her recovery from Lyme illness.
Thanks to her cosmetics empire, Jenner is worth $750 million, Fox is worth $8 million, and Hadid is worth $25 million. However, the public is “conflicted” by the billionaires’ altruism. Instead of asking their supporters for money, many people think they should simply aid their pals out of their own pockets. Some, though, believe their pals just don’t like taking charity. Herein lies the crux of the matter with these celebrities’ GoFundMe drives.
Jenner solicited fan contributions in March 2021 to help pay makeup artist Samuel Rauda’s medical expenses.
