Barbra Streisand didn’t bring her flowers, but she did give her something much more valuable.
Gianna Floyd, the six-year-old daughter of George Floyd, announced in an Instagram FB, +0.34% post over the weekend that she is now the proud owner of Disney DIS, +0.07% stock that was gifted to her by the 10-time Grammy winner.
No word on just how many shares Gianna actually received, but Streisand also threw in two of her albums, “My Name Is Barbra” and “Color Me Barbra.”
The comments section in Gianna’s Instagram post was filled with hundreds of well-wishes. “The world is yours, Gigi,” wrote former NBA star Stephen Jackson, who has said before that he is a longtime friend of Floyd from his time spent in Houston.
Gianna’s account is now just three days old, but she’s already racked up more than 54,000 followers, with posts like this one showing her with her father.
The Disney shares are just the latest gift passed along to Gianna since her father was killed by Minneapolis police. The board of regents at Texas Southern University offered her a full scholarship should she wish to attend the university while Kanye West is setting up a college fund as part of his $2 million donation to support the families of Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.
Then there’s Gianna’s GoFundMe page, which has already topped $2 million.
As for her Disney position, Gianna is getting a stock that has struggled so far this year, losing more than 20% in 2020 to lag the broader market by a wide margin.
At last check, Disney shares were off more than 1% in Monday’s rough trading session, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.72%, S&P 500 SPX, -0.43% and tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.13% were all moving firmly lower.
