Her net worth is estimated to be $1.6 billion.

That’s 0.0625% of her net worth.

I’m not knocking her. That’s also better than say Elon musk would give any charity.

But tech companies also give very generous bonuses to their employees as well as stock options. Are we supposed to sing their praises too? Throw some scraps toward the masses, and people think you’re a saint.

Remember that when Trump puts his signature on his “tariff dividend”. The billionaires are taking us all for a ride.
