We now have a better idea of exactly who the biggest creators are on social media. ESHAP and What's Trending have partnered to unveil the second annual Creator Map, a guide to the biggest creators by platform. And TheWrap has your first look at their findings.
The Creator Map will be unveiled later today at the first Jupiter Festival Miami, which is sponsored by YouTube. Evan Shapiro, media cartographer and ESHAP founder and CEO; Shira Lazar, What's Trending founder and CEO; and Jon Goss, CEO of the Lighthouse will unveil the project on the main stage of the event.
Described as the "definitive visual guide to the creator ecosphere," the Creator Map offers a data-informed view of the creator economy, an industry that can often feel confusing and chaotic from an outsider perspective. For the first time, the top 200 creators across Instagram, YouTube and TikTok will have both their follower counts and Affinity Quotient scores published on the map. Sponsored by Whalar Group and with data powered by Whalar's creator operating system Foam, the Affinity Quotient measures the depth of audience engagement and places a greater emphasis on active signals such as shares and saves than on passive interactions. That's an important insight as engagement rather than follower count has become the top metric in the creator economy. The Creator Affinity 100 list was first presented at this this year's IBC and identified 100 creators generating the greatest affinity among their audiences.
The map also identifies top creators across Snap, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Twitch, Pinterest and Rumble, along with the top Substack publishers and podcasters. Additionally, it identifies some of the top agencies, studios, technology tools, payment platforms and other companies powering the creator ecosystem. Check it out below:

The winning entry of a prestigious scientific photography competition is being re-evaluated following criticism from other scientists that it was made with AI.
Nikon's annual Small World In Motion contest accepts photos and video taken using powerful microscopes, and has run annually for the last 15 years.
The winner was a short video submitted by Dr Ning Xu, a researcher at Tsinghua University in China, which claims to be footage of tiny, hair-like structures called cilia moving inside the airways of a child with a rare disease.
Xu did not respond to the BBC's request for comment, but has posted online denying he broke the competition rules.
In a response to a post by Nikon on LinkedIn, he did not dispute using AI within the image processing but said he remained within the rules of the contest.

Anthropic is moving forward with plans for an initial public offering that could value the company at $2 trillion, with signs pointing to the listing remaining on track, according to Bloomberg. Nasdaq has been selected as the venue for the listing, and Nvidia is reportedly weighing a contribution of around $10 billion to the offering.
Bloomberg reports Anthropic's annualized revenue at $65 billion, with the company's margins underpinned by investor confidence in where AI capabilities are headed rather than by today's cash generation.
The IPO comes as Anthropic chief executive officer Dario Amodei has published an essay calling on AI companies to manage the pace of frontier model development. Amodei's essay calls on firms "must slow the pace" of capability improvements, yet frames the goal as "a balanced rate" of progress, with the ****** urance that "progress will still seem fast," Bloomberg notes. When CFO Krishna Rao shared the piece on LinkedIn, his commentary centered on the themes of "pacing" and "common standards."
Anthropic is preparing to tell IPO investors that its potential revenue opportunity exceeds $30 trillion, according to The Wall Street Journal. The company more than doubled its revenue to $11.6 billion in the second quarter and could seek to raise as much as $100 billion in its offering — both figures that would surpass what ****** eX achieved when it went public in June at a $1.77 trillion valuation.
Investors have projected that Anthropic's annualized revenue will reach between $100 billion and $120 billion before year's end, representing more than tenfold growth from the $47 billion annualized revenue the company reported in May, according to the Financial Times as cited in earlier reporting. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan are leading the offering. The company filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June.

After holding Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) for more than 10 years, I wouldn't sell a single share, not even today. The company I bought back in 2016 has changed dramatically, but mostly in ways that strengthen the original reason I owned it. Microsoft has shifted from a PC-centric software business to one built on cloud, subscriptions, enterprise software, and artificial intelligence.
So the question now is whether those changes can support another decade of compounding, and whether the stock is still a buy at today's valuation.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
When I first bought Microsoft, the business was much smaller. In fiscal 2016, it generated $85.3 billion in revenue and $20.2 billion in operating income. By fiscal 2026, revenue had reached $331.8 billion and operating income $155.2 billion. Azure alone passed $100 billion in annual revenue.
The bigger change is where that growth came from. Microsoft expanded Microsoft 365, Azure, LinkedIn, Dynamics, GitHub, security, and other cloud products across largely the same enterprise customer base.

Surrounding yourself with a bunch of yes-men is not a recipe for success—at least according to AT&T CEO John Stankey. Instead, he wants employees to come to meetings prepared to share their ideas and perspectives—not simply sit back and listen.
"I love discourse," Stankey said in a recent joint interview with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon hosted by LinkedIn. The telecommunications executive added that one of the principles in his company's cultural documents is to not show up to meetings without having done your homework.
"Don't walk in there and just be an observer," Stankey said. "When you have a point of view, it shouldn't just be some uninformed opinion. It should be a point of view that's built on facts, information, and data. I crave that."
If employees aren't willing to speak up—or don't have a constructive point to make—Stankey suggested there may not be the right people in the room.
Dimon has similarly emphasized the importance of making sure meetings are both necessary and productive. Leaders should create an environment where employees aren't afraid to disagree or raise uncomfortable issues in meetings—even if that means putting the proverbial "dead cat on the table," he said.

The company said duties performed by Lyons will be reassigned to other executives while it conducts a search for a replacement.
Lyons had been with the company for 19 years, according to his LinkedIn page. He led commercial strategy and customer experience as well as FedEx Custom Critical.

Companies in the private sector added 38,000 jobs in August, payroll processing firm ADP said in its latest report on Wednesday.
The figure is below economists' estimates of a gain of 48,000 jobs and down from the prior month's revised 46,000 payrolls. August's figure is the lowest since January.
"Pay can tell us a lot about today's choppy hiring," said Nela Richardson, ADP's chief economist. "To understand hiring patterns, you have to look deeply into where pay growth is accelerating, where it's slowing, and for whom. Once-predictable wage growth has been overtaken by the complexities of demographic change, persistent inflation, and AI's effects on jobs."
The Colleges That Give Graduates The Strongest Career Edge, According To Linkedin
Education and health services added 45,000 positions, leading job creation in August. Leisure and hospitality added 16,000, and financial activities and other services each gained 6,000.

A former Cal softball player has sued the University of California and former Bears coach Chelsea Spencer, alleging that Spencer coerced her into a ******* ual relationship and retaliated against her when she tried to end the relationship.
The former player filed the lawsuit in Alameda County Superior Court last week, filing under the anonymous name Jane Doe to protect her identity. The lawsuit alleges the school did not remove Spencer from her role, even after the inappropriate relationship was raised to higher-ups.
Berkeleyside was the first to report on the lawsuit. The outlet said it got in touch with Spencer via LinkedIn, who initially said she was not aware of the lawsuit and that claims "will be addressed in the appropriate legal processes." Berkeleyside said that Spencer stopped replying and appeared to delete her account once the outlet sent her the complaint and requested a response.
The lawsuit alleges that, after the player came to Berkeley as a transfer in the fall of 2023, Spencer quickly proceeded to talk to the player "outside the ordinary confines of a coach-athlete relationship" once the player arrived on campus for the 2023-24 school year. This included talking about personal details, emotional struggles and romantic attention, according to the lawsuit, with Spencer saying the player was "so beautiful" and "your girlfriend is so lucky." Spencer also sent gifts to the player, both in the form of direct cash and items like AirPods, the lawsuit said. If the player was not responsive to Spencer, the coach would get angry and retaliate against her with negative treatment, the lawsuit alleges - including on the field, where Spencer "reduced or withheld Plaintiff's playing opportunities." But if Spencer was given the attention she sought, then the player got more time on the field.
Once the power dynamic and dependency were established in the player's mind, the lawsuit alleges, Spencer then "escalated the relationship into ******* ual contact." The ******* ual relationship allegedly began on a 2024 road trip and continued for a year, with the lawsuit detailing several instances of ******* ual encounters.

NexGen Energy Ltd. (NYSE:NXE) is making waves after CEO Leigh Curyer revealed active talks with mining giant BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP) on August 17 regarding a potential equity stake and financing for its flagship Rook I project in Saskatchewan. Having just broken ground on construction for what is slated to be one of the world's largest, lowest-cost uranium mines, NexGen is seeking to raise $1 billion in capital over the next nine months through prepayments, debt, or direct equity. The partnership discussion underscores growing institutional interest, but a side-by-side look at the financial health of both companies shows two fundamentally different investment propositions.
Photo from PBF Energy LinkedIn
NexGen Energy Ltd. (NYSE:NXE) represents a development-stage uranium exploration and development company with no commercial mining revenue. In Q2 2026, NexGen posted a net income of $74.55 million CAD (driven primarily by a non-cash mark-to-market gain of $96.47 million CAD on its convertible debentures), reversing a net loss of $86.69 million CAD in Q2 2025. The company maintains significant liquidity, holding $756.17 million CAD in cash alongside $214.08 million CAD in short-term investments as of June 30, 2026, for total cash and short-term investments of $970.25 million CAD. While its absence of operational revenues makes standard earnings metrics non-applicable, its **** et backing and project economics remain compelling.
In stark contrast, BHP Group Limited (NYSE:BHP) delivered a record operational year in FY2026, showcasing massive profitability across its global operations. BHP reported underlying EBITDA of $33 billion, up 27% year-over-year, achieving an overall margin of nearly 60%, driven by a record 70% margin in its copper business. Free cash flow surged 83% to $9.8 billion, allowing BHP to distribute a total annual dividend of $1.72 per share ($8.7 billion total) at a robust 66% payout ratio. BHP also slashed net debt to below $9 billion, more than $4 billion lower than the previous year, giving it huge financial flexibility to self-fund its $11 billion annual capex pipeline. Financially, BHP is far superior in stability, balance sheet strength, and immediate cash generation, whereas NexGen's value relies entirely on future execution.
NexGen Energy's bull case is centered on the successful construction of its Rook I project, which could give the company control over up to 20% of global primary uranium supply. Securing an equity partner such as BHP or obtaining utility prepayments could also help close its approximately $1 billion funding gap and significantly reduce project financing risk. However, the bear case is driven by the risks inherent in large-scale mining projects in remote northern regions, including unexpected capital cost overruns, construction delays, and regulatory hurdles. Additional equity raises could also dilute existing shareholders before the mine begins production.

Clayton Echard denied Laura Owens's claim that she was pregnant with twins after a one-night stand. Owens, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of perjury, one count of taking the identity of another, and two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices, according to the Arizona Republic on Aug. 28
A judge will determine if she'll be sentenced to prison or probation. On Oct. 23, she will be sentenced for the crimes tied to The Bachelor season 26 star.
Echard, 33, said Owens contacted him through LinkedIn about the home he was selling. The former football player said that they hooked up but didn't have intercourse.
The reality star said he told Owens that he crossed a professional boundary with her and it wouldn't happen again. Owens wanted to keep working with him, then asked him on dates. He told Melissa Rivers that he refused and blocked her after she kept pushing. She then claimed she was pregnant 11 days after he blocked her. Other men also contacted Echard to say Owens made similar accusations against them.

Italian food-and-drinks group NewPrinces is dipping its toe into energy drinks, with the launch of a brand called Spartan in its home market.
In a post on LinkedIn, the fruit juices and soft drinks maker said the energy drinks line is being sold through Carrefour stores in Italy.
NewPrinces struck a deal to acquire Carrefour's operations in the country last year, as part of what it then described as "vertical integration between production and distribution".
The deal gave NewPrinces, which is one of Italy's largest food manufacturers, ownership of over 1,000 stores in the country.
Spartan is available in "original" and sugar-free versions. The drinks are "enriched with vitamin B6 and a source of vitamin B12", the group said in its social media post.

Artificial intelligence can help shave off hours of time when it comes to previously manual tasks, such as scenario planning or financial modeling. But as finance employees begin to rely more heavily on AI, it's crucial for finance employees to understand its inner workings — meaning "the CFO needs to have a whole set of processes in place around governance and ethics" when it comes to AI, according to Ian Schnoor, executive director of the Financial Modeling Institute.
The FMI offers a global program for financial modeling accreditation, a discipline where AI is becoming more entrenched. At the moment, many companies are still in the early days of adopting the technology, and "do not have strong disclosures or guidelines yet around AI," Schnoor told CFO Dive. "But if I was a CFO, I would want a policy to know exactly, how was AI used in this process?"
Schnoor, who began his career as an investment banker at Citibank, has served as executive director for the Toronto, Canda-based institute since 2016, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He also serves as an adjunct professor for the Smith School of Business at Queen's University in Toronto, Canada. Before FMI, he served as founder and president for the Marquee Group, a financial modeling training provider he sold to Training the Street in March of 2023.

New research from LinkedIn shows the typical AI-related job listing advertises a salary of roughly $177,000, compared with about $80,000 for a non-AI role. It is the kind of pay gap that makes the AI boom look less like a threat and more like an opportunity, at least for those positioned to take advantage of it.

Microsoft (MSFT) shareholders got another reminder this week that even the biggest tech players are watching expenses but are pouring billions into AI investments. The company's social network site LinkedIn is reported to be shutting down its research and development center in Israel and laying off nearly all the center's roughly 50 employees.
The Tel Aviv center opened only in 2022 when Microsoft acquired the Israeli ******* ytics startup Oribi for an estimated $80 million to $90 million and incorporated the company's technology into LinkedIn Marketing Solutions. This number laid off is small compared to Microsoft's huge workforce, but the timing is rather interesting. On the one hand, Microsoft is increasing the budget for AI infrastructure. But on the other hand, the company is trying to find areas where expenses can be cut. That is why the move to shut down the LinkedIn center is not so much a signal about the lack of demand, but an example of resource allocation by Big Tech.

Tyrod Taylor is a married man!
The veteran NL quarterback tied the knot this summer with Bianka Charity-Parker, who posted a collaboration gallery of photos to her Instagram on Friday, Aug. 14 of the rustic wedding. She wore a longsleeve white lace dress, and he wore a white jacket with black wide leg pants for the outdoor ceremony, which included them jumping the broom. Her caption said that the two wed on July 11.
Victoria Holland, owner of Victoria Ann Events, also shared photos of the nuptials to her company's Instagram page. She revealed that Grammy-winning rapper Pusha T helped connect her to the couple.
"I was fully planning on JUST talking to Bianka and Tyrod, and figuring out which of my many friends in this industry I could recommend to do their wedding," she said in the caption. "But as soon as I got on the zoom, listened to their story, I knew I had to be a small part of their wedding story! Shoutout to kingpush for always knowing best."
Taylor, who signed with the Green Bay Packers this offseason for his 16th NFL season, and Charity-Parker, who is a Clinical Psychology ******* ociate for KIPP DC Public Schools, according to her LinkedIn, each wore multiple looks for the day.

Financial terms of the deal have not been made public.
According to a statement on the NextSlide website, the company developed a product intended to convert prompts, notes, documents, or research into polished, editable presentations.
Beshry said: "Presentations help ideas move through the world. They teach, persuade, share research, and move important work forward. But creating a great presentation has traditionally required hours of work, design experience, or both."

The 2023 Golden Globe Awards was an incredible night for Michelle Yeoh. The 60-year-old actress had waited 40 years to play the lead in a Hollywood film, and winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Comedy for her starring role in "Everything Everywhere All at Once" was a dream come true. Yeoh's moment in the spotlight made headlines that night as her award speech went viral. But following the ceremony, another moment went viral, the split second Yeoh's name was called as the winner and the reaction of her co-star, Jamie Lee Curtis.
Curtis herself had been nominated for the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in the film but didn't win. (That award went to Angela Bassett in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.") But whatever disappointment Curtis may have felt about not winning her own award did not diminish her response to Yeoh's win, which was immediate, intense and immensely joyful.
A screenshot of Curtis' triumphant celebration of Yeoh's win was shared on LinkedIn by Erin Gallagher, CEO and founder of gender equity company Ella, along with a powerful message that's resonating with women everywhere.
