Magazine I) “We’re in a time right now where the world feels really dark, and people need empathy and help more than ever — especially in our country. If you have money, it’d be great to use it for good — maybe give some to people who need it,” she said to the star-studded crowd, which included billionaire Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg. “I love you all, but there are a few people here with a lot more money than me. If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties,” she added, prompting laughter and applause from the attendees. Eilish, whose net worth was estimated by Forbes to be $53 million in 2020, revealed at the event that she would be donating $11.5 million from her global Hit Me Hard and Soft tour to charity organizations addressing climate change and food insecurity.
