In Los Angeles, the RSVP Gallery, which sells his brand, was looted.</p><p>“The Miami community ~ I’m crazy inspired. For kids in the streets that need a bail funds [sic] for George Floyd protests,” he wrote in the Story, along with a string of posts about the looting taking place at luxury shops like his. “If it heals your pain, you can have it,” he wrote.</p><p>Other celebrities have publicly shared their donation amounts or support for the movement in recent days — Chrissy Teigen upped her original $100,000 donation to a bailout fund to $200,000 after receiving backlash from her followers.</p><h3>Kylie</h3><figure id="attachment_5271174" class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/06/kylie-jenner-8.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/06/kylie-jenner-8.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/06/kylie-jenner-8.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Kylie Jenner<span class="credit">Getty Images</span></figcaption></figure><p>Kylie Jenner <strong>spent more than $100 million</strong> on a huge private jet and multiple monster real estate deals in recent months.
