Karl Lagerfeld, the great German fashion designer, lived in a surreal kind of grandeur. The creative director of both Chanel and Fendi, he owned apartments in Paris, Rome, and the Côte d’Azur, as well as villas in Biarritz and his native Hamburg; enormous collections of Art Deco furniture, antique jewelry, and couture garments; a personal library of some 300,000 books, by his own estimation; paintings and sculptures by Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, and John Baldessari; three Rolls-Royces; a curious assemblage of 509 iPods; and hundreds of pairs of his trademark wraparound sunglasses and fingerless biker gloves. According to a conversation that his biographer, William Middleton, had with the Parisian florist Lachaume, his annual flower budget appears to have been about 1.5 million euros. Lagerfeld never married or had children, and when he died of cancer, in 2019, the press quickly began to speculate about the immense fortune he’d supposedly left behind, which a number of outlets, including Bloomberg, Forbes, and The Guardian, ballparked at more than $200 million. Speculation also swirled about where these riches …

The Richest Grudge Match in History

The Richest Grudge Match in History

Published by José Betancourt

Elon Musk and Sam Altman are two of the most influential people in Silicon Valley, if not the world. Between the two of them, Musk and Altman run technology companies worth many trillions of dollars that promise to reshape civilization. But this morning, both sat under fluorescent lights in a courthouse in downtown Oakland, suffering through all manner of technical glitches as their respective attorneys kicked off the long-awaited trial in Musk v. Altman. As Steven Molo, a lawyer for Musk, began his opening argument, confused looks swept the courtroom. “We can’t hear you,” Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said. Someone fixed his microphone. Later, as Molo began to call into question Altman’s integrity, his microphone cut out again, and his presentation disappeared from screens in the room. (“We are funded by the federal government,” Gonzalez Rogers joked. “The judiciary is happy to take more funds.”) Musk is suing Altman and OpenAI, among others, demanding legal and financial remedies that would effectively destroy OpenAI as we know it. The fight stretches back to 2015, when Musk …

Le Pen met France’s richest man and other major CEOs at secret dinner – POLITICO

Le Pen met France’s richest man and other major CEOs at secret dinner – POLITICO

Published by Sam Flores

For years, France’s entrepreneurial elite have been deeply suspicious of a populist party that has flipflopped on key economic policies such as membership of the eurozone. In 2017, Arnault backed French President Emmanuel Macron against Le Pen, and had until this week refused to meet National Rally leaders. But with Le Pen and National Rally President Jordan Bardella topping the polls ahead of next year’s presidential election, business leaders have been seeking to build bridges with far-right leaders to gain influence over a party whose economic vision often clashes with their interests. Pouyanné had in January called for business leaders to talk to the far right and the hard-left France Unbowed party to “introduce some realism into a confused and illusory political debate.” According to an executive who works for one of the attendees, the encounter wasn’t an opportunity for business leaders to “cozy up” to Le Pen, but rather a robust exchange of views. But a former government official who was granted anonymity to protect relationships with past colleagues said that the symbolism of …

This O.C. city has California’s richest real estate. Why it beat out Silicon Valley gold

It’s hundreds of miles from the AI boom and tech billionaire class of Silicon Valley. It maintains an image, at least in some minds, as a beachside mecca for old money, big yachts and conspicuous consumption. And now, a new Times analysis of the highest home values in California shows Newport Beach perched at the top. Among California’s most upscale neighborhoods, a subtle reshuffling has taken place in recent decades, with the highest home values migrating from Northern California to Southern California. A Times analysis for 2026 shows three of the top 10 ZIP Codes for highest home value were on Newport Beach. Only one other community showed up twice on the list: Los Altos in Silicon Valley. Attendees toured the showcased pleasure yacht Aviator, with its opulent salon, during the Newport Beach Wooden Boat Festival.

But they do offer a window into the demographic patterns …

Published by Daniella Wilson

Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood are just some of the biggest names in the industry, with these three musicians having managed to crack the code and build their own empires.

The Richest 1 Percent Burned Their Entire Share of Carbon for the Year in Just 10 Days

The Richest 1 Percent Burned Their Entire Share of Carbon for the Year in Just 10 Days

Published by José Betancourt

In less time than it takes to get bored of your new year’s resolution, the planet’s wealthiest people had already blown through their yearly ration of carbon emissions. We’re not speaking figuratively, either. A new analysis by the Oxfam Foundation found that the world’s richest 1 percent exceeded their fair share of annual carbon emissions just 10 days into the year. The global “carbon budget” is based off the amount of carbon dioxide that humankind can collectively spew while keeping us within 1.5 degrees Celsius of pre-industrial temperatures. According to Oxfam, the CO2 emissions of the richest 1 percent in just one year will result in an estimated 1.3 million heat-related deaths by the end of the 21st century. “To stay within the 1.5 degrees limit, the richest 1 percent would have to slash their emissions by 97 percent by 2030,” the study’s press release reads. Meanwhile, it only took the top 0.1 percent until January 3rd to use up their allotment. Another recent Oxfam report using data from the Stockholm Environment Institute found that …
