<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\nBillie Eilish<\/a> had a message for the ultra-rich \u2014 and she delivered it straight to their faces. The 23-year-old Grammy-winning pop star used her acceptance speech at the Wall Street Journal Innovator Awards<\/span> in New York on Wednesday night to call out billionaires, urging them to share their wealth. Eilish received the Music Innovator Award and made the remarks in a room filled with some of the world\u2019s wealthiest and most influential figures \u2014 including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg<\/a>. \u201cLove you all, but there\u2019s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me,\u201d Eilish said to the crowd. \u201cIf you\u2019re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but give your money away, shorties.\u201d Zuckerberg attended the event with his wife, Priscilla Chan. He is estimated to be worth around $227.9 billion. Eilish continued her speech, shedding some light on empathy and social responsibility. \u201cWe\u2019re 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,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019d say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things, maybe give it to some people that need it.\u201d Her comments came shortly after she announced a major charitable move of her own, according to USA Today. Before she took the stage, presenter Stephen Colbert revealed that Eilish would be donating $11.5 million from her Hit Me Hard and Soft<\/span> world tour earnings to organisations focused on food equity, climate justice, and reducing carbon pollution. In a recent interview with WSJ Magazine<\/span>, Eilish also discussed her efforts to make her tour more sustainable, using biodegradable confetti, recycled materials, and plant-based catering. \u201cYou can literally make all the same stuff with sustainable materials, and people just aren\u2019t doing it,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone can actually do it. It\u2019s just that mostly they don\u2019t.\u201d<\/div>\n
