i dont get why billie ellish is such a big topic to talk about but also im old af so thats prolly why.
She is a pop star, of course, and therefore commands a sizeable fanbase and attention of the press, and anything she says will have weight.
TBH Eilish always seemed really fake before, kind of vulgar and low talent with the pop equivalent of mumble rapping, but this kind of statement is as real as it gets bringing attention to the fact that "things are really, really bad" because you know for sure a lot of assholes in that crowd were trying real hard to ignore it.
“Especially in our country”? Fuck outta here.
Meh, try doing it everyday and make a real difference
Is Billie Eilish giving away her money as a millionaire?
Yes. She donated $11.5 million to charity and has a net worth of around $50 million. That's around 20%. If Zuckerburg did even 10%, it would be around 2,000 times more.
She...has a net worth of around $50 million.
That's about 260x the median net worth in the US.

she donates and volunteers with non-profits pretty regularly
If a person has hundreds of millions of dollars of worth in their pocket, they are not donating enough
I saw a few outlets estimate Eilish is worth somewhere in the tens of millions not quite hundreds. From this Rolling Stones article, also about the speech, she recently donated 11.5 million. Apparently this type of thing isn't out of the norm for her.
Equivalently, Zuckerberg would need to donate around 30-100 billion to match Eilish proportionally. To bring it back to earth, you or I would need to donate thousands - if not tens of thousands - to be proportionally similar. I won't speak for you, but I'm not in the habit of donating double digit percentages of my salary.
If she has donated 11.5 million, I would assume she has more than tens of millions.
If that information is correct, great. Either way, She certainly is no Taylor Swift (in regard to the money) on any day of the week.
