RIP

I guess there's allot of online pushback on the go fund me that' now topped over 1.8 million dollars b/c he did'nt die 'broke' he died with considerable real estate holdings including-

a multimillion dollar house in CA that they rent out for $144k a year and his 40 acre multimillion dollar Texas ranch where the family currently lives. I believe the 'battle cry' that's being used by those questioning the situation is 'sell the mansion'.

Maybe it should be “mind your own business”. I’d imagine a lot of the donations are coming from contacts in the entertainment world and they’re certainly entitled to do what they want with their money. As is everyone else, including not contributing to any cause one doesn’t find worthy.

I'm guessing people think it's just a bit tone deaf when most people who start GFMs have very little income/assets and it's basically a last resort option.

If the donations are from people he knew, I'm sure they wouldn't need a GFM to give the money to help out. But maybe there are tax reasons? I don't know much about GFM.
