      If a person has hundreds of millions of dollars of worth in their pocket, they are not donating enough

        I saw a few outlets estimate Eilish is worth somewhere in the tens of millions not quite hundreds. From this Rolling Stones article, also about the speech, she recently donated 11.5 million. Apparently this type of thing isn’t out of the norm for her.

        Equivalently, Zuckerberg would need to donate around 30-100 billion to match Eilish proportionally. To bring it back to earth, you or I would need to donate thousands - if not tens of thousands - to be proportionally similar. I won’t speak for you, but I’m not in the habit of donating double digit percentages of my salary.

          If she has donated 11.5 million, I would assume she has more than tens of millions.

          If that information is correct, great. Either way, She certainly is no Taylor Swift (in regard to the money) on any day of the week.
