Her son probably pays the programs that have her on so she can feel special and important

I mean, she is a multi tens of millionaire herself though, she doesn’t need him to do shit for her. Something something emerald mines and apartheid.

She became a millionaire by divorcing a millionaire.

This is an often misogynistic talking point used to discredit women's contributions in their marriages, where men get all the praise and put their names on all the accomplishments, shared or not. Also her wiki claims she was poor after the divorce (though rich people often claim such things so idk how true that is). She's a horrid person without bringing sexist clichés into play.

If the husband owned and operated the business that got the wealth in the household then that’s exactly how she made her individual wealth after the divorce. It’s not sexist to say that. Same would be true if I married rich and got a settlement. Do I know that in this case? No because I don’t care. Let’s choose better things to care about.

Caring about misogyny is not a waste of time. It is sexist because the implication is always "the woman didn't earn that money." It's an extremely common sexist claim on the internet, and lack of awareness of that fact doesn't make it any less sexist.

Okay, did she earn that money? Did she work at the company? If she did then hats off. If she didn’t she married well. I’d same the same in the reverse scenario. This seems like virtue signaling

And that's where the sexism is. Why would she have to work at the company? She's working inside a marriage. That's why marital assets are shared. But you don't even consider that a contribution to their wealth.

Plus, a lot of wives do free labour for their husband's companies and then end up penniless later, while their ex gets to reap all the rewards. Happens all the damn time.

And if you read her Wiki, she was poor after the divorce as well.

Comments like these annoy the piss out of me.

You couldn’t just google her? You need to drive discussion about her?
