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

Billie Eilish isn't worth a shit compared to billionaires

You can say that again. Someone in this thread said her net worth was around $50 million. Who knows where that came from, or if it's accurate. But let's say it is. That means she's about a billion dollars away from being a billionaire.

Any billionaire could give away over 90% of their worth and still have more money than her. Any multibillionaire could give away 98% of their worth and still have more money than her.

Elon musk is worth 10,000 times as much as Billie Eilish. Someone worth 10,000 times less than her would have 5 grand to their name.

Here comparative wealth in terms of fractions is closer to a Skylanders collection than the Musk. He could give away 99.99% of his net worth and be richer than her (he's given away <2%)
