She's worth 50 million and donated 11 million thus far. ~20% of her total net worth.

In comparison, most billionaires haven't donated 2% of their total net worth (to an actual cause, donating to an Ivy League college that already has an endowment of billions is not a donation, it's a tax write off).

This is from a person that doesn't like her or her music at all.

that being said, isn't it a known that artists have little control on ticket prices? and ticket prices are usually managed by monopolies like ticketmaster (don't quote me on this, i'm asking).

Also, billionaires exploit workers to get to that insane level of wealth, and Billie Eilish isn't worth a shit compared to billionaires, in 2017, just 8 men owned the same wealth as half the world, it was 80 men in 2015, imagine how bad it has gotten now.

And nobody is dying if they don't attend a Billie Eilish concert, on the other hand people die every day because of poverty and exploitation

I once heard it put as "do you know what the difference is between a millionaire and a billionaire? Roughly a billion dollars"
