I honestly like it. That doesn't mean she won't donate anywhere else with her substantial net worth, she got three consoles that she obviously doesn't need, and instead of giving them to a nephew, she turns it into charity money, taking the time herself to do it. Good for her.

It's just truly bizarre to see someone in a family worth billions taking their time over 2500 dollars. It'd be like us flipping sticks of gum to donate a nickel

She has probably been hacked, this is a common strategy to get money (hack someone who has a large following and post a plausible reason they'd be selling something in high demand, PS5s being a common one).

This is so weird. It's something you expect from a Youtuber with 150k subscribers, not the controlling owner of an NBA franchise. There has to be something I'm missing; it's possible her Twitter got hacked.

It's a messed up world when someone with a $500 million net worth is re-selling ps5s. This has to be a hacked tweet right?

I would assume so it does seem very weird. It would be almost like seeing Elon Musk talk about selling PS5's on his twitter. Even if donating to charity it's such a small amount, and I would assume this would require an in-person meeting to get the PS5. Unless she is just shipping them locally or something.

Even if she had a few to unload, she would likely give them to someone else to handle the sales.

Comments are turned off on it, there is no way she is not hacked.

Thank God, I was seriously contemplating supporting the Charlotte Hornets instead.
