Sheryl Sandberg earns $100M, but won't pay interns

Yes, but the only difference is that Sandberg portraits herself as an advocate for work fairness and equality. Therefore I think it is fair game to call her out personally.

I've noticed a pattern with people who are very public figures/very wealthy calling themselves an advocate of fairness/equality/whatever....

If I ever become a very wealthy public figure, I promise you I will not advocate for any of that.

Yea, I agree. There's nothing worse than a hypocrite. Well, almost nothing?

Is this internship program unpaid just for women? If not, I don't see how having an internship program constitutes unfairness. If she isn't paying interns unequally, what exactly is hypocritical about her having an internship program?

Her personal assets != foundation assets.

Presumably she runs a non-profit, which, for better or worse, are frequently graded on value delivered vs. administrative expenses. Paying an intern is an administrative expense.
