Billie Eilish isn't afraid to be the bad guy in a room full of billionaires.
On Oct. 29, the 23-year-old singer announced during the Wall Street Journal Magazine 2025 Innovator Awards that she would be donating $11.5 million of earnings from her "Hit Me Hard and Soft" tour to various organizations dedicated to food equity, climate justice, reducing carbon pollution, and combating the climate crisis.

The announcement came from late-night television host Stephen Colbert as he presented Eilish with the "Music Innovator of the Year" award.
"That's wonderful," Colbert said. "Billie, on behalf of humans, thank you very much."
The nine-time Grammy Award winner is wrapping up her nearly 14-month tour in November. Accordi
