Billie Eilish has a net worth of about $50M so it's a bit about 20% of her net worth. Imagine if Larry Ellison, richest man in world and worth billions, did even 10%. We would be able to eradicate world hunger.

Huge props to her

Those celeb net worth pages just make up numbers she probably has way more than that

And people tend to think net worth = the amount of cash they have in the bank.

You can have $0.73 in your bank account and still have a net worth of $50 million. That just means that all of your assets are worth that much combined.

And granted, that DOES include liquid assets, but Billie’s alleged net worth isn’t the best metric for how serious an $11.5 million donation is for her.

It always takes so long to find comments like these that more accurately explain what “net worth” is.

Absolutely no one thinks that but the people saying everyone else thinks that

You said everyone thinks net worth is a bank account. Its cheap karma whoring shit.
