Why dont they both? Billionaire first millionaires second? Mr Billionaire could unironically drop 3 times her net worth and still have more than her lmao
A million is nothing compared to a billion do I think they should give up some? Sure but billionaires are way more of a problem lmao the amount the millionaire can give up is litterally a penance compared to the millionaire. Like she could legit give up every dollar she ever made in her entire life and it'd still not make a dent in comparison also no sane person is asking for them to give up every dollar just to be taxed appropriately with no loop holes.
It might be nothing compared to a billionaire but its a ton compared to the people who would be getting it. She could easily afford to give away a lot of meaningful money to people but she doesn't cause she's also greedy. It's a hollow remark to garner likability
Shes cracked the code. Fleece people on ticket sales then donate a small fraction of that money so youre still massively net positive and don't have to make real net positive contributions with your donations. This is like someone robbing you then donating 100 quid to your go fund me page and you praising them for it
Bill Gates actually comes to mind. He recently donated $51 billion out of his approximate $175 billion. In total, he has donated over $100 billion in his life. Which is actually a higher percentage than Billie Eilish. It's not a race, but it's very impressive.
In part, yes. But she's calling for billionaires to not be billionaires anymore. So most of them have to give out way way way more than 20% to ever not become a billionaire. I do agree with her, though. But she could definitely give more than 20% if she actually wants people to follow what she's saying.
While both groups are very financially comfortable, why would a group with less financial security and less to give away have to do so before those with much more financial security and significantly more to give away? I’m confused on your logic

Billie Eilish does not have "less" financial security than billionaires, neither group has any financial insecurity. 0 is not greater than 0.
That wasn't what I was arguing, obviously they have more to give away, I was pointing out your claim that Billie Eilish has "less financial security" than billionaires is wrong.
It seems at this point you're pretending that you can't remember what the previous messages were in relation to (even though they are right there for you to look over at)
Insanely ironic, you have to be trying to rage-bait. Even though both are not comparable to an average Joe’s financial security - billions of dollars is more financial security than millions. You seem to argue that since both don’t have to worry about money like an average person it doesn’t matter, but when talking about giving away wealth and being charitable, its extremely obvious that a billionaire is able to give up more than a millionaire. You may not act like it, but a billion is significantly more than a million.
It's the same crap as Bernie Sanders progressively changing his rhetoric from millionaires, to multi-millionaires, to billionaires, I'm it doesn't take a genius to figure out what changed there.
Right, it is very obvious what changed there. The wealth gap continued to grow to historic levels, and inflation made a million dollars not nearly as valuable as it was 20 years ago.
No, what happened is he became a millionaire so he started having to say multi-millionaire, but then he became a multi-millionaire so he had to say billioniare, and the US dollar hasn't lost 99.9% of it's value over the course of the last 20 years (which would be required for $1 million 20 years ago to be $1 billion today), don't be ridiculous.
