01:29If you have money, it would be great to use it for good things.

01:32Maybe give it to some people that need it.

01:34Love you all, but there's a few people in here that have a lot more money than me.

01:37If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?

01:40No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.

01:43Eilish is putting her own money where her mouth is,
