Kylie Jenner slammed for asking fans to donate to makeup artist Samuel Rauda’s GoFundMe after his horrific accident
KYLIE Jenner was slammed for asking fans to donate to makeup artist Samuel Rauda's GoFundMe page after he was injured in a horrific incident.
Many of the reality star's fans argued that Kylie has more than enough money to pay for Samuel's medical expenses herself, and shouldn't ask cash-strapped fans for help.
The 23-year-old took to Instagram as she encouraged her fans to donate to Samuel.
Alongside information for his GoFundMe page, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wrote in a now-expired Instagram Stories post: "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."
According to the GoFundMe page, Samuel had brain surgery earlier this month after he was in an accident.
His family is asking for $120,000 to help cover medical expenses, while they have already raised over $97,000 as of Sunday morning.
In addition to asking her fans to donate, Kylie also appeared to give the family $5,000.
A number of KUWTK fans took to Twitter to slam Kylie for requesting that others donate money, as many pointed out that she is rich and can afford to cover the medical costs herself.
One Twitter user wrote: "Kylie Jenner better open up one of her Birkins and stop asking us poor folk to donate to her makeup artist's gofundme."
Another added: "the fact that Kylie Jenner has the audacity to ask for donations for her friends/makeup artists emergency surgery (60,000) while she's worth a whole BILLION is very character telling."
A third chimed in: "Kylie Jenner asks fans for donations to fund her makeup artist Samuel Rauda’s surgery after he was involved in an accident.
"She only has over a billion dollars herself...so she needs YOUR money. Unbelievable!"
The criticism continued as a fourth person wrote:"#KylieJenner asks fans for donations to fund her makeup artist Samuel Rauda’s surgery after he was involved in an accident. But Kylie I can give you a #Billion reason why you should pay for it yourself."
According to Forbes, Kylie's net worth is currently $900 million.
She owns a private $72 million private jet and multiple homes, and regularly shows off her $36 million Holmby Hills mansion on social media.
