Discovered by accident, Billie Eilish uploaded her first song “Ocean Eyes” to SoundCloud in 2016, and became an overnight sensation.

Eilish reportedly earned $25 million for an Apple documentary, according to Forbes. Her album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” was also the top seller of 2019, with 3.9 million units sold.

Ultimately canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, her 2020 “Where Do We Go? World Tour” sold out immediately in America — as well as most other countries — according to Variety. Ticket prices averaged $234, according to SeatGeek.
