I think the OP was just giving props for a very kind, humanitarian act to help everyone.
I doubt the many billionaires around the world did the same.
You go Dolly!!

Yep, it was her funding that triggered the direction of the hunt for a COVID19 vaccine. Not only did she give the wold songs like "I'll Always Love You"' and Jolean......she also might have helped saved the world.
