It isn\u2019t the first time that the Bad Guy hitmaker has hit out at those with vast wealth, as she last month urged billionaires to donate their riches to the needy.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Wall Street Journal\u2019s Innovator Awards \u2013 where Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg was in attendance \u2013 the 23-year-old singer said: \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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d say if you have money, it would be great to use it for good things, and maybe give it to some people that need it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eilish added: \u201cLove you all, but there\u2019s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. If you\u2019re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah. Give your money away, shorties!\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Eilish previously admitted she dreams of having a day where she could do \u201cnormal\u201d things without having to worry about being spotted.<\/p>\n
She told British Vogue earlier this year: \u201cI\u2019d love to go ride on the subway.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d love to just walk around outside for a day, that would be so nice.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love to just do normal things.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would love to walk around a cute, popular neighbourhood or go get a meal, and not have to worry about hiding my face or my safety or about someone taking a photo of me when I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It isn\u2019t the first time that the Bad Guy hitmaker has hit out at those with vast wealth,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[806,1975,6726,92638,18509,92642,92639,17448,156,692,78,92640,17449,111,139,69,90,3111,92641,92644,44093,92643],"class_list":["post-135359","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-as","tag-at","tag-become","tag-billie","tag-closes","tag-coward","tag-eilish","tag-elon","tag-entertainment","tag-he","tag-in","tag-lashes","tag-musk","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-on","tag-out","tag-pathetic","tag-raged","tag-status","tag-trillionaire"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
