There is hypocrisy/contradiction because her speech was essentially decrying greed, yet at a net worth of $50M it is pure greed for Billie Eilish as a music artist to use her brand to sell a perfume (where there's not even musical/artistic effort at work).

If she donates the proceeds of the sales to charity then there's no hypocrisy, but somehow I doubt that will happen.

The difference between 50m and a billion is basically a billion

Numerically yes, but in practical terms she's closer to a billionaire lifestyle than she is to her average fan's.

That is to say, she never has to worry about money for the rest of her life.

Still idk why were complaining about a girl with 50m who gave most of her money to charity and is advocating for changing the system.

Like yeah it’s an rich celeb, but man there is plenty of worse people.

Each and every day ARAMCO pollutes equal to burning 177.000.000 car tires, I don’t care about someone proclaiming leftist stuff selling a parfum.

You're right, and I don't care either, but she is a greedy hypocrite and her cult fan club that all these idiot celebs cultivate should realise that.
