    Billionaires also pledged to fund rebuilding Notre Dame in France and no one paid anything. Almost no one actually paid and it seems the press doesn’t care to see if anything has been paid since 2019: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/notre-dame-fire-update-big-donors-delay-fulfilling-pledges-to-rebuild-notre-dame/

    Pledges are PR, nothing more.

    Question is, is this an Amber Herd pledge, or will they actually do it?

    That’s like me giving them a penny, possibly even less than that. Don’t forget kids: the only good billionaire is a dead billionaire.
