On Monday, the 42-year-old Internet personality posted a video promoting her new range of kids’ toys to her 3.4 million Instagram followers, who were keen to showcase their support.
One person wrote: “I hope you make billions! Because I know you’ll do good with it. ❤️” but Ms. Rachel was not on board with this idea.
“I’ll never be a billionaire because I don’t believe that’s right but thank you!” she replied to the commenter. “🙏🏻 I love giving ❤️”
For reference, Ms. Rachel has an estimated net worth of $50 million.
And while I’m sure that you don’t need me to tell you why being a billionaire is generally considered to be pretty immoral, the basic consensus is that it’s pretty much impossible to gain that much wealth without others being exploited somewhere along the line.
Billionaires are also a symbol of extreme inequality, and it is widely argued that nobody should ever have that much wealth while others struggle to fulfill their basic needs.

“She’s the modern day Mr. Rodgers. What a wholesome and classy lady,” one comment reads.
“I think I like her more than my kids do at this point,” somebody else added.
Another referenced Ms. Rachel’s continued advocacy for the people of Gaza despite criticism, writing: “she doesn’t want to have obscene wealth nor does she want innocent men, women, and children killed?! no wonder the right hates her.”
While somebody else concluded: “Common Ms Rachel W.”
