Crowdfunding to make skyline Jenner a billionaire - WTAF??

On the BBC news tonight it was reported that Kylie Jenner is almost a billionaire - she is $100 million short (poor thing) - and apparently there is a crowd funding page to help her reach billionaire status!

AIBU to be utterly gobsmacked by this? She comes from a wealthy background, and has $900 million - she does not need charity. I know people can do whatever they want with their money, but if someone has money to waste - and surely giving a millionaire money so they can have even more money is the very definition of wasting money - they could give it to something a little bit more worthwhile.

Even if you do think making a millionaire even richer is a good cause, why wouldn’t you do so by buying something they produce - at least that way you have something for your money?

Buggerstion - I proofread the post but not the sodding headline - I mean KYLIE Jenner, not fecking skyline Jenner.

And I didn’t proof read that post.

I should give up now, shouldn’t I?

Sounds like the very definition of a fool and their money being easily parted. Anyone who would donate to that needs to take a good look at themselves and wonder where their life went so wrong.

Anyone who pays in to that needs their head checking

If anyone gives her money they’re an idiot. Famous for her sisters sex tape and her crappy clothes and make up lines.

It's a pisstake OP. It's satire. Nothing serious about it.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 12/07/2018 19:19

Jeez that is ridiculous.

The sad thing is there will be people out there on minimum wage who idolise her and save up to buy her overpriced make-up who will probably contribute.

This was on the BBC news? That is also a sad state of affairs.

AlphaBravo · 12/07/2018 19:19

Are you that soft OP you think it's real? The guy who set it up had his tongue so far in his cheek it was nearly up his arse.

WhenEnoughIsEnough · 12/07/2018 19:24

I also saw this on the news tonight!

  1. We have much MUCH better things to be reporting on the news.
  1. Anyone who gives her any more money is seriously deranged. My fear is that teenagers will be giving her money through this ridiculousness as they are the ones that are caught up with her.

The biggest thing that annoyed me was that they said she was self made!

Well, seeing that it's apparently not real I would have said anyway I guess it's just some mindless novelty of seeing number rounded off.

Like asking for a certain amount of likes or views on a YouTube video and viewers in the comments asking people to share it and help achieve that goal and after getting some sort of satisfaction after it.

Starlight345 · 12/07/2018 19:28

I had to google who she was 😳

W1neNot · 12/07/2018 20:01

It's a satirical joke.

Yes OP I'd give up now 😀

liverbird10 · 12/07/2018 20:32

Vacuous nobody, rich and famous for nothing.

parkermoppy · 12/07/2018 20:32

Oh OP. Its a joke..

KlutzyDraconequus · 12/07/2018 20:35

There is only one Kylie in my world...
HRH Kylie Of Minogue.
This fake person has neither the charm or talent of the real Kylie.

Tho that's not the point of the thread...

liverbird10 · 12/07/2018 21:31

I can't stand Minogue either. Loved her when I was 10 though!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 12/07/2018 21:35

I’m glad it was a joke - but I am surprised that it wasn’t reported as such - I trusted the BBC!

I heard it on the BBC news yesterday morning

I couldn't get my head around it, but didn't spot it was a joke
