Fact-Check Debunks Greta Thunberg Multi-Millionaire Rumors

Greta Thunberg recently drew international attention after being aboard a humanitarian aid ship intercepted by the Israeli military during a mission to break the Gaza blockade. She and other activists were briefly detained and expected to be deported, with videos and statements from Israeli officials sparking widespread media coverage. Thunberg faced criticism and false rumors about her wealth, including claims she is a multi-millionaire who travels by private jet and owns luxury cars; these claims have been debunked as baseless. Critics also mocked her for posting a pre-recorded video claiming she was 'kidnapped' by Israeli forces, noting that she was treated humanely, unlike actual hostages held by Hamas. U.S. President Donald Trump commented on Thunberg, calling her a "strange" and "angry" young person who might benefit from a management course. The incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding activist efforts in the Gaza conflict and the polarized reactions they provoke.
