The fiery call out comes just two weeks after she called out several billionaires to their faces last last month. The singer was present at the Wall Street Journal 2025 Innovator Awards, where she was awarded the Music Innovator award.

For her acceptance speech, Eilish turned her attention to the multiple billionaires in the room – including Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg: “We’re in a time right now where the world is really really bad and really dark, and people need empathy and help more than ever, especially in our country. If you have money it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to some people that need it.”
“I love you all but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me… and if you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?” she questioned, before saying: “Give your money away, shorties”.
That night, it was announced by chat show host Stephen Colbert that the singer will be donating $11.5million (£8.7million) from her ‘Hit Me Hard And Soft Tour’ to charities for both food equity and the climate crisis.

This isn’t the first time that Eilish has used her platform to push for change. Previously she joined forces with non-profit organisation Reverb to help make her live performances more sustainable. At venues including The O2 in London, the two of them established ‘Eco Villages’ to provide education for fans about reducing their carbon footprint.
