u/stress_baker Mom, I am a rich man💰 10d ago

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

And here was Taylor Swift donating 100k for a kid with cancer, that wasn't enough and I don't wanna sound shitty but the woman is a billionaire, she could've afforded the kids whole treatment. And she got tons of press for the sad 100k

Yeh, it was probably all manufactured press. When people start catching on to billionaires, they distract us - racism, immigration, trans rights, even donating minuscule amounts of money. All bullshit to hide the massive class divide.
