So being rich makes you immune to the restrictions that others are facing in a global pandemic right now?

Jesus Christ Kim this might be the most tone deaf thing you've ever posted. People are dying, losing their incomes and starving right now.

It's one thing to spend her money, it's another for her to flaunt it when SO MANY people are struggling and dying.

Right! I come from a privilege family as well I was taught never to flaunt my privilege. Even before Covid I would never flaunt my privilege. it seems pretty self-serving.

Wow so fun my family still hasn’t met my six month old baby but I’m glad you’re rich!

Yep, the things that "truly matter" are a private island, a jet full of friends you can take, a designer dress worth thousands, and lots of photos of it all to show the rest of the world what they cannot do while they struggle to survive a pandemic.
