The replies to this story absolutely disgust me. People are essentially saying she deserves it because her family owns yachts while public schools across the country struggle. Hold on to your butts. It’s about to be a bumpy ride, lefties. (1/13)

Yes, DeVos’ family owns 10 yachts. The one that was vandalized was worth $40 million.
Her father-in-Law, Richard DeVos, is worth $5.3 Billion dollars, and is an American success story. (2/13)

But let’s really see what @BetsyDeVosED does with her money. (3/13)
In 1989, Dick and Betsy DeVos started the Dick and Betsy DeVos Family Foundation.
According to Politico, in 2015, the foundation paid out 10 million and pledged another $3.2 million in future grants. (4/13)

Most of this money is focused on, you guessed it, EDUCATION!!! (5/13)
Again, Politico: “The Dick and Betsy DeVos Family Foundation approved $400,000 in funding for Loudspeaker Media Inc., helping former CNN anchor Campbell Brown launch her education site, The 74...

The foundation also gave $400,000 to Brown’s nonprofit, The Partnership for Educational Justice.” (7/13)
Success Academy Charter Schools received $150,000 from the foundation in 2015, with another $150,000 approved for future payment....
The DeVos Family Foundation also donated $5,000 to GREAAT Schools, Inc., a non-profit charter school management company.” (8/13)

DeVos is from Michigan, and wanted to support good schools back home. So, DeVos gave $200,000 to The Potter’s House, a Christian school in Grand Rapids, Mich. (2015) (9/13)
The couple gave $100,000 to the nonprofit Alliance for School Choice.”
DeVos’ foundation also gave $50,000 to “the Foundation for Excellence in Education, which was founded by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.” (10/13)

All of these statistics come from 2015 alone. Annual commitments of 10 million dollars to organizations that promote education and conservatism is no small feat, and change student’s lives daily. (11/13)
Oh, by the way, @BetsyDeVosED isn’t taking a salary as Secretary of Education. DeVos divides her salary equally between 4 organizations, including The Department of Education. (12/13)
So, enough with the manufactured outrage about the DeVos’ family success. In fact, we should all aim to be a little more like them. (13/13)
