“Giving money away” is a stupid, post-modern, useless neo-marxist attitude.

It takes real wisdom to give money away - such that it actually has a good effect, doesn’t get wasted or stolen, or worse, doesn’t go to promote evil.

I don’t think about Taylor Swift much, but read that after her last concert tour, she gave every roadie and driver for her team a $125K bonus.

THAT is generosity, which is targeted, effective, and creates community.

Dear dumbass. THEIR money they EARNED (mostly). They pay their road crews and musicians and ancillary folks. No billionaires to create jobs for thousands of folks. So shut up and sing!

“
 she said. “If you’re a billionaire—why are you a billionaire?”

Generally, outside of crime, billions are earned by producing a marketable product or service, wise investments, or other methods in our capitalist model.

Anticipating next question, billionaires can choose to donate as much as they wish. Perhaps it depends on what kind of legacy they want to leave behind. They also very likely pay a crapton of taxes, which gets promptly flushed down the toilet by retarded and/or evil bureaucrats.

When ol’ Billy takes that vow of poverty maybe I’ll value what she thinks is “too much” money.

Bile-y Eyelash doesn’t math very well. Let us take a few numbers. Taylor swift is worth approximately $1.6 billion. She has untold numbers of fans, but let’s just use an approximate. A gaggle search shows Not-so Swift has 94.1 million followers on X. If Taylor were to split her wealth amongst these 94,100,000 people, they each get $17.00. Woohoo! They now have enough to get a couple of meals at McDonald’s. If she were to split it between the approximately 342.75 million people in the USA, that would work out to $4.67. And then she’d be broke, wouldn’t be able to go on tour (that’s a shame) and wouldn’t be able to pay the hundreds of people who have jobs thanks to her, and not one person would be able to buy a Big Mac Meal with the windfall.

How much has Eilish donated? Nothing I bet. With her success she has plenty of money. Jealousy is ugly like Billie Eilish.

They never ask or state how much taxes do they pay. They ought to run through the amount of their taxes with a standard deduction.

“The 2025 edition's honorees including Hailey Bieber, Billie Eilish, NadĂšge VanhĂ©e, Spike Lee, Priscilla Chan, Ben Stiller, and Mellody Hobson and George Lucas.”

Plus Stephen Colbert showed up to introduce Eilish, so any lefty billionaire who showed up for this woke fest deserves to be publicly embarrassed.

The Bible says 10%. That’s what my wife and I have always tried to give to charity. Couldn’t always do it, but try to.

The WSJ gave this awful person an award? Why?

Ugh

Here she is on democracy and using her stage to not shut up and sing :

Billie Eilish slammed Texas’ controversial new abortion law while performing at the Austin City Limits Festival over the weekend.

The Grammy-winning “Bad Guy” singer said she almost pulled out of the massive outdoor festival before her set Saturday night.

“When they made that s—- a law, I almost didn’t want to do the show,” the 19-year-old singer declared from the stage. “Because I wanted to punish this f—-ing place for allowing that to happen here. But then I remembered it’s you guys who are the f—-ing victims and you guys deserve everything in the world. And we need to tell them to shut the f—- up! My body, my f—-ing choice!

IF I EARNED IT LEGALLY-—I WILL GIVE IT AWAY ON MY OWN AGENDA AND TIMELINE....NOT BILLIE’S.

INCREDIBLY STUPID REMARK

I DO NOT WORK TO GIVE IT AWAY.

I WORK TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF MY EFFORTS.
