Kim Kardashian just donated $50,000 to a charity supporting families separated at the US-Mexico border, and surprisingly, fans don’t have very nice things to say about it. Kardashian, 45, has a net worth of nearly $2B, so a $50k donation isn’t proportionally very much, and social media users aren’t afraid to point that out. Keep reading for more information.

Kim Kardashian Donates Just $50k To Families Separated At US-Mexico Border
Last month, the Kardashians star attended This Is About Humanity's 8th Annual Soiree, hosted by the daughter of one of her friends. She posed on the red carpet with her friend, Henry Winkler, and his daughter, Zoe Winkler Reinis, and also signed a check supporting their charity. This Is About Humanity describes itself as "a community dedicated to raising awareness about separated and reunified families and children at the US-Mexico border." According to Just Jared, she donated $50,o00 in support that night.
While any donation is likely appreciated by the foundation, many critics pointed out that $50,000 isn't very much to Kim Kardashian. To put $50,000 into perspective, the amount represents just 0.0026% of Kim Kardashian's estimated $1.9 billion fortune—the equivalent of a person with $100,000 to their name spending just $2.63.
Social Media Reactions
Across social media platforms, users couldn't help but point out that the SKIMS founder is a multi-billionaire, so her charitable contribution might seem like a grand gesture compared to normal citizens, but for her, it's barely a drop in the bucket. "Well, with the amount of money that woman has, you would think she would donate more," one person said on Instagram. "Sorry Kardashians, I said what I said."
"Wow!!! A whole 50k!" one person commented. "Not even the interest off of one of her accounts!"
"$50k from a billionaire," said another. "That's like $1 from me."
"Pennies to the dollar!" added another.
"Don't hurt yourself," said another. "50k is insulting."
"There is nothing sizable about $50k if it's coming from her," agreed the next person.
"$50,000 ain't s***," another user wrote. "Especially for someone with her status. That's like a slap in the face. Greedy!"
"$50k?" a final user wrote. "Talk about half-hearted."
