When it comes to eating the rich, Billie Eilish is the "Bad Guy."
The Grammy-winning singer and outspoken pop star, 23, weighed in on income inequality and wealth disparities during a frank speech at the 2025 WSJ. Innovator Awards in New York City on Wednesday, Oct. 29. Eilish was honored with the music innovator award, joining a star-studded roster that included honorees Ben Stiller, Spike Lee, Hailey Bieber and George Lucas.
"Love you all, but there's a few people in here that have a lot more money than me," Eilish said. "If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but give your money away, shorties."
One billionaire who likely heard Eilish's call-to-action is Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The social media magnate and Meta CEO, whose net worth is reportedly $227.9 billion, was spotted at the awards ceremony alongside his wife, Priscilla Chan.
"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," Eilish added, according to People magazine and Billboard. "I'd say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things, maybe give it to some people that need it."
