Real billionaire
While accepting an Innovator Award from the Wall Street Journal—a room literally filled with the world's richest people—Billie Eilish decided to put the billionaires on notice. She called them out, saying, “If you have money, it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to some people that need it. Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but give your money away, shorties.” And she's backing it up by donating a massive $11.5 million from her own tour proceeds to support food equity, climate justice, reducing carbon pollution and combatting the climate crisis.
