Environmentalist that has traded up to capitalism. Current net worth over a million which is quite nice considering her age

This appears to be mostly exaggeration. Whatta surprise.
Let's break this shit down a bit.
First, please tell me where you get the "200,000" figure from. I can't find it. Help a poor libtard out. Cuz I find conflicting info here. In more than one place, I have found that she does not accept speaking fees. Some of that is older though, so maybe it changed. But we'll come back to that (still wanna see your SOURCE though, thanks!)
Estimates of her "wealth" that I find online estimate between $1M and $2M dollars (Forbes magazine). Faak. Pretty sweet!
Oh. But wait. Hold on. There's more.
First, I found two estimates that said her net worth was grossly exaggerated, and may be as low as $100K.
And here's a press statement or three to put things into perspective (emphasis mine):
-
"...it's important to note that Thunberg has consistently donated he majority of her earnings to environmental and humanitarian she donated the €1 million prize from the Gulbenkian Prize for Humanity to the Stop Ecocide Foundation and Fridays for Brazil...." https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/.../121718247.cms
-
"...Greta earns income primarily from speaking fees at international conferences, book sales, and select partnerships. However, she is known to donate a significant portion of her earnings to environmental causes and charities...." https://www.finance-monthly.com/2025...-her-earnings/
But PLEASE....find your own. I'll wait some more.
Meanwhile, your statements that "she's flat selling publicity" are...to be kind (not that you would be to her)...inaccurate. And just your opinion.
Here's ol' Roo's summation: This is boring! She sure AF ain't rich. Maybe she makes some $$ from her books and speaking, but....please tell me...exactly
HOW is she supposed to pay for travel and living expenses, etc....when she spends so much time in her advocacy? This isn't anything unusual in the world of charity and public cause.
It is fine if people oppose her views. But attacking her unfairly is not justified. And only shows the desperation, bigotry and intolerance of those who do.
Alla y'all need to grow TF up. She is doing far more to support what she believes in than all of us put together. Again, it's okay if you don't like her cause. But criticize her with facts and reason, not exaggeration and spite.
