And no hate, but give your money away, shorties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Through her Changemaker Program, Eilish has worked with the nonprofit Reverb for years on its Music Decarbonization Project and its Music Climate Revolution initiative, alongside artists ranging from Dead &amp; Company to Harry Styles.<\/p>\n<p>Chan was also honored at the event, receiving the &#8220;Philanthropy of Science Innovator of the Year&#8221; award. A spokesperson for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Brandi Hoffine Barr, said Zuckerberg and Chan have committed to giving away 99% of their Meta shares to philanthropy over the course of their lifetimes and have already granted out $7 billion. According to Forbes, Zuckerberg&#8217;s current net worth is around $224 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Eilish&#8217;s comments come as the number of billionaires worldwide continues to grow, with 204 new billionaires added in 2024, according to a January report from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfamamerica.org\/explore\/research-publications\/takers-not-makers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Oxfam International titled &#8220;Takers Not Makers.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The report found that the billionaires grew wealthier three times faster in 2024 than in 2023, pointing to an increased concentration of resources globally.<\/p>\n<p>Oxfam predicted that at least five people will become trillionaires in the next decade, up from one person the year before. The group called for higher taxes on the rich and other measures to break up monopolies, cap CEO pay and require companies to pay living wages.<\/p>\n<p>The wealthiest Americans have a long history of calling on each other to give away more of their money. In 1889, the steel magnate and industrialist Andrew Carnegie argued in the essay &#8220;The Gospel of Wealth&#8221; that the richest should give away their fortunes within their lifetimes, in part to lessen the sting of growing inequality.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/tag\/bill-gates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Bill Gates<\/a>,\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/melinda-french-gates-interview-next-chapter-foundation-philanthropy\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Melinda French Gates<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/tag\/warren-buffett\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Warren Buffett<\/a>\u00a0took up that call by creating the\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/60-minutes-giving-pledge\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Giving Pledge<\/a><\/span>, a commitment for billionaires to give away more than half their wealth in their lifetimes or when they die.<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen years on, some 256 billionaires have taken the pledge, with 110 of them coming from the U.S., according to a recent\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ips-dc.org\/report-giving-pledge-at-15\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">report by the Charity Reform Initiative<\/a>\u00a0of the Institute for Policy Studies. Those U.S. billionaires represent 13% of the total 876 billionaires in the U.S., according to the report, revealing the small portion of the wealthiest people who have publicly committed to giving away their fortunes.<\/p>\n<p>The report found that of the 22 billionaires who have died since taking the pledge, only one gave away his fortune before he died. Meanwhile, only eight of the 22 deceased pledgers fulfilled the commitment by giving away half of their wealth or more at their death, though some of their estates are still being resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck Collins, one of the authors of the report and an expert at the Institute for Policy Studies, said Eilish&#8217;s comments are part of a growing realization that the rules of the economy favor those with assets over those who earn wages.<\/p>\n<p>He thinks the Giving Pledge has created an expectation and competition for the wealthiest to give away their money, but the fortunes of many of the pledgers have increased over time, meaning they will need to move even more aggressively if they are to fulfill the commitment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the end, philanthropy is not a substitute for a fair and effective tax system,&#8221; Collins said. &#8220;The level of extreme inequality will require some form of restoring progressivity to the tax system, a wealth tax as well as progressive income tax.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/billie-eilish-billionaires-donate-more-of-their-wealth\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billie Eilish wants billionaires to donate more.
