I see what people are saying about her status. She's wealthy, and at her level of wealth she'll live a comfortable life with or without that money.

But wage theft is a very real and alarmingly common problem. Doesn't solely affect millionaires. One can relate to, or show concern for, the issue she's facing without worrying about the highly unlikely chance that her stolen wages will leave her poor and starving.

While the problem she's facing won't disrupt her life in the way that it would someone making minimum wage and struggling to keep a roof over their head, it's good to see her fighting for what she's owed and putting this issue in the news to shed more light on it.

An article about some shitty manager not paying out overtime to a handful of relative nobodies isn't going to get the attention this is. I would prefer the opposite to be true, but if this opens the door to getting people to discuss wage theft, then I'll take it.

Would be nice if she used this situation as an opportunity to act as a representative for those going through this who don't have the platform she does, who are battling wage theft without the resources she has to fight for themselves. But instead of dismissing those discussing this issue, or writing her off simply because she doesn't need the money, we should be focusing on how her situation connects with us, as opposed to how her wealth creates this disconnect.

At the end of the day, she's an employee fighting for money she's owed, from a company that is more than capable of affording to pay her.
