Billie Eilish Asks Billionaires The 1 Question We All Have -- And She Did It In Front Of Mark Zuckerberg [View all]
The “Birds of a Feather” singer was honored for her music at Wednesday night’s WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, and used her acceptance speech as an opportunity to call out wealth inequality by asking billionaires the one question most of us plebs have for them.
“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, kind of, ever — especially in our country,” she began.
“And I’d say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things and maybe give it to some people that need it,” she continued before things got a bit spicy.
“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me,” she added, before going in for the kill.
“And if you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?” Billie asked. “No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”
