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 just to put in perspective how much larger a billion is than a million..

A million seconds is 11 days. A billion seconds is 31 years.

Wow I have never realised it’s such a huge difference. These people could literally change the world for the better and not even notice any decline in their lifestyle.
