Adin Ross is opening up about money, morality, and why he says he’ll never reach billionaire status.
During a livestream over the weekend of November 3, the popular streamer and content creator shared his thoughts after watching a clip of Billie Eilish speaking at the Wall Street Journal Magazine Innovator Awards. In the video, Eilish urged billionaires in the audience to give more of their wealth to charitable causes — a sentiment Ross seemed to agree with.
“If you’re a billionaire, you’re most likely not a good person in the first place,” Ross said during his stream. “Guys, in order to become a billionaire, you have to f*** people over. You have to create a big enough product. You have to be stingy. It’s very hard to become a billionaire.”
The 24-year-old doubled down on his opinion, adding that he values generosity and giving back to his community over chasing extreme wealth.
“To become a billionaire, you have to be a piece of s***,” he continued. “I’d be way richer if I didn’t give a f*** about you guys — if I didn’t do giveaways and all of this s***. I’ll never become a billionaire.”
Ross, who’s reportedly worth around $40 million, has amassed a fortune through his content creation and his exclusive streaming deal with Kick. Still, he insists that his constant giveaways and donations are what set him apart — and keep him from billionaire territory.
His comments come just weeks after Ross reflected on his political involvement during the 2024 presidential campaign, during which he had previously supported Donald Trump. At the time, he made headlines for gifting the former president a Rolex watch and a Tesla Cybertruck, later admitting that he regretted those actions.
Ross’s latest remarks have sparked an online conversation about the ethics of wealth and the responsibilities that accompany fame and fortune. This topic continues to resonate across the entertainment and influencer worlds.
Meanwhile, the streamer’s weekend broadcast also touched on pop culture moments, such as the 2025 CFDA Awards, where Rihanna and A$AP Rocky made a stylish appearance. The couple, who continue to shape the fashion landscape through their creative ventures and collaborations, were celebrated as one of fashion’s most influential duos, known for blending streetwear with high-end couture.
