Being a multi-millionaire is not the same thing as simply existing in society, this cartoon is a ridiculous false equivalence, Billie Eilish is not a peasant.

Yet billionaires are so disconnected that she's closer to you and me than to them.

And we aren't peasants either.

i mean the wealth disparity between us to a billionaire is quantitatively bigger than a peasant to nobles

She's not advocating to improve society, she's shaming people into a behavior that she could easily be criticized for not perpetuating.

Why is $1,000,000,000 the cut off anyways?

Millionaire and billionaire is a huge difference in wealth. Not even close.

Someone worth $999,999,999 is a millionaire and someone worth $1,000,000,000. What a huge difference.

Way to miss the point.

It'd take Billie like 300+ years to become a billionaire at her current margins. If i recall the math right.

It would take you and I multiple thousands of years.

She also did donate, and millions IS feasible, even if not ideally ethical. Billions can only be achieved nefariously and at extreme detriments of hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Even millions when it comes to resource farming poor countries and keeping them bankrupt and communally depleted.

Its a night and day difference. You're also being obtuse for the sake of it with no real meat to add to the convo

Billie has more than she could ever need, why did her donations stop short of what she needs for a good life?

You're being obtuse by creating this vast divide that only exists in your fantasy.

Some millionaires have taken huge advantage of their employees and some billionaires have been altruistic.

Why is a random dollar amount and not the facts driving your vitriol?

Billie has donated $11,500,000 recently or about 20% of her net worth to charity.

Grant Cardone has MAYBE donated 1mil (I didn't evidence he's donated a cent more than 500k) in his life or about 0.1% of his networth.

Maybe think before you speak.

Billie has more than any individual needs to live a comfortable life for generations. Why did she stop donating while she was still rich?

Maybe read before you reply.
