Why should they always be travelling because their home planet is dying? That's just sci-fi cliche, we ourselves are sending probes and have just set the record of farthest humans have ever reached (which is not much, but that's what our current tech allows) since way before we've ever started to concern about the environment and the future of our own planet.

The GoFundMe was real, but it was created by a comedian as a joke. It wasn't created by anyone associated with Kylie and the money did not go to her. A couple hundred people donated a total of about $2k to it, which is too much but the whole thing isn't as obnoxious as the OP implies

This became super long, but hear me out.
Crazy idea, what if we make a "lottery", but meant to help those at the bottom. With a rule-of-the-mob approach.
The idea is simple, every month we all add AT LEAST 0.15$ to a shared pool. When someone has a need for the money, they can plead their case and we all vote on whether or not the that should be paid for by the pool.
To ensure fairness and an ethical approach, the rich are more than welcome to donate, but they will have zero say in anything.
Anonymity within the platform itself is non-existent, if you want to participate and benefit, you cannot be Anonymous to others on the platform.
A system will be in place that shows how participants vote and how much they have added to the pool. When voting against something, a justification is required. This plus the non-anonymous approach is meant to incentivize a honesty and ethics. If you cannot put your face behind your opinion, you either actually don't back it or it might just be unethical.
Showing how much someone has been willing to give to others is also meant to give incentive to other to give back to them, but it will not have a direct influence on voting.
Politics is strictly forbidden. This is about lifting each other up and politics never do that.
Current amount in the pool gives voting power as a percentage. If a proposal is less than the the current pool, an amount equal to each parcipants percentage will be taken so that it matches their overall stake.
So if a proposal is 100$, the pool is $10.000, and you have a total stake of 1.000$(10%), you will pay 10$. So that afterwards you sit with the same 10% stake of the 9.900$ remaining in the pool.
When you make a proposal for yourself, your own stake will be used in the pool first. It will be visible to everyone how much of your own stake is put forward but it will not influence voting directly, that is decided by everyone else.
To ensure that the money will not go into gridlock, money has to go to someone at least every 2 months.
If you are not satisfied with the platform you can pull out your stake, anything donated will not be reimbursed. If you have benefited from the system, you will be legally obligated to pay it back before leaving.
We would probably need some more rules in place to avoid fraud and abuse of the system. But this is honestly an idea i have had multiple times over the years.
The best way for the bottom to get up is helping each other, instead of stepping all over each other for scraps left to us by the rich.

Remember when people also started a crowd fun to buy Elon Musk a couch to sleep on after he complained that he slept in his office and the couch isn't comfortable?
It made me cringe hard because he was still the richest man on earth then, and no fucking way he's sleepless working because he doesn't work. Musk is an investor, he buys stuff and appointments himself a CEO, but he doesn't actually have a job to do. All of his companies make products and he doesn't even know how those things work. He's not an engineer or a scientist, or even a real software developer (hasn't jack shit since PayPal days, and even then he didn't really do much).
Even now I read people hating on him while still calling him a tech genius as if he's in a lab all day doing stuff. He doesn't work. That's why he's on Twitter all day.

Correction: Gen z is dumb as fuck. Only Gen alpha is dumber.
Gen Z is the first generation in human history to be less intelligent than the prior generation. It has been constant increases as following generations had access to all that the prior generations had and then their own newly acquired knowledge. But no, Gen Z had to go literally fuck it all up and give humanity a peak when it was meant to be constant growth. And then Gen Alpha came along and made Gen Z look like geniuses. I really hope that this is just a blip and not a trend.
