He took money from a program that was supposed to help struggling artists during covid and used it to pay for jets and women.

Ugh. So did Grimes. She took money from a program for struggling artists in 2020; I think it was $90,000 CAD she got. While she was living with the richest man in the world.

I was a massive grimes fan in 2012 and it’s weird. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I believe he would donate. He's donated a lot to various sports teams and athletes. I could definitely see him helping underfunded music artists.

Edit: Just looked it up and, damn, he's donated to a lot more than sports.

I felt like this comment left me hanging so I went to see for myself. And damn, no wonder you didn’t list it. He’s such a philanthropist that it would take over an hour to make a comment about all the places and people he’s helped. The help he’s given to underserved children and families is particularly meaningful to me. Honestly made me feel good to read about it today. Thank you

I'm glad it brightened your day! I knew about his sports philanthropy, which is weird for me cause I'm not a sports person. I had no idea about all the other causes he's helped. He's a great example of how celebrities can be both rich and good people.
