Viya is a cross between Martha Stewart and Kim Kardashian.
She livestreamed a fundraiser for Wuhan’s businesses, which are struggling because of the coronavirus.
Viya has a large fan base. On April 1st, she actually sold a rocket for roughly about $6 million.
14 million people in China watched her livestream in Wuhan, where she sold and tasted everything from duck neck to crayfish.
Life is slowly returning back to normal in Wuhan but businesses have suffered.

She appears to have raised about $32 million.
“I can use the power of the internet to help them.”
