  • Cullors co-founded Black Lives Matter six years ago 
  • The organization has experienced a surge in donations in the past year following the death of George Floyd
  • Cullors came under fire last month after it was revealed she had amassed a $3 million property portfolio in recent years 
  • She called criticism of her personal spending a ‘racist and sexist’ attack by ‘right wing media’
  • However, BLM members have also called for a probe into the organization’s spending and  finances 
  •  The BLM foundation revealed in February that it took in just over $90 million last year; they spent a quarter of their assets on ‘operating expenses’
  • Cullors has allegedly only been paid $120,000 by BLM since its inception in 2013
  • Despite being a self-professed ‘trained Marxist’, she has amassed considerable wealth through speaking engagements and book and TV deals
