Delusional Billionaire Oprah’s Plea to the Public

Oprah Winfrey, who is estimated to have a net worth of around $2.5 BILLION, is asking the public to donate to Maui.

The woman who bought over 1,000 acres of land in Maui is asking YOU for money…

To kick off her fundraiser with Dwayne Johnson, they have donated $10 million to the relief.

Promoting that anyone in Maui who needs it will receive $1,200/month.

More from USA Today:

“Every adult resident (18 and over) who lives in the affected area and was displaced by the wildfires in Lahaina and Kula is eligible to receive $1,200 per month to help them through this period of recovery,” Thursday’s announcement read. “All net proceeds will go to those directly impacted in Maui.”

The iconic show host, a part-time Hawaii resident, and the wrestler-turned-action-star have donated $10 million to the fund. Johnson, who is Samoan, also lived in Hawaii when he was growing up. Winfrey and Johnson announced their effort Thursday on Instagram in a video in which Winfrey shared that the two were texting about what to do. Winfrey said she was inspired by an article about Dolly Parton giving money to her community, and the idea of the fund was born.

Winfrey has been giving updates from Maui on her website Oprah Daily. In an Aug. 13 post she wrote of the “incredible people” she’s met at shelters, including a man named Julius whose “legs were covered in bandages where he had to run to escape the fire.”

Listen.

I am happy that they are giving this money to the Hawaiian people.

But why are they asking Americans?

Who are already struggling over a recession?

To donate money.

It’s especially ironic coming from Oprah, who has such a MASSIVE net worth.

People on Twitter are ripping her apart:

Let's talk about Oprah's "selfless" 10 million dollar donation.

Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.5 Billion and Dwayne the Rock Johnson is worth $800 Million and these two have the audacity to asked the everyday citizens to donate to their fundraisers to help the people of Maui when we know those people would probably NEVER see that money! Inflation… pic.twitter.com/PczZQDyD8k

More from Forbes about the relief effort:

Winfrey’s and Johnson’s fund launch comes after the billionaire media mogul and other billionaires who own land in Maui came under fire for their lack of response to the wildfires. Meta billionaire Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla Chan pledged a $400,000 donation to the Hawaii Community Foundation. Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his fiancee launched a $100 million fund in support of Maui residents. Bob Parsons’ golf brand previously donated $1 million to a disaster relief organization when news about the wildfires spread. Workday co-founder and CEO emeritus David Duffield is reportedly working with the Maui Humane Society. Billionaire CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang donated to local relief funds, according to The Verge. Billionaire Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff told Yahoo Finance that the company donated $1 million to an organization that provides meals after natural disasters. But real-estate billionaire Neil Bluhm, billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and billionaire investor Peter Thiel—all who own property in Hawaii—have not come forward about any donations for wildfire relief.
