By most traditional measures, having a net worth of $1 million should put someone firmly in the "wealthy" category. Yet a growing number of millionaires don't see it that way.
Just one third (36%) of the nation's wealthiest citizens — those with at least $1 million in investable ***** ets — consider themselves wealthy, according to Northwestern Mutual's 2025 Planning and Progress study.
Further, nearly half (49%) of American millionaires say their financial planning needs improvement, citing the possibility of outliving their savings, the impact of taxes in retirement, and potential long-term care needs as their top financial concerns.
This gap may be surprising, but it highlights how rising costs, longer lifespans, and shifting expectations have redefined what it means to feel rich in modern America.

Miesha Shakes wants to question Montia Sabbag about the recording and its investigation in her ongoing legal dispute with Hart.
Kevin Hart's former ****** istant Miesha Shakes wants Montia Sabbag, the woman involved in his 2017 ****** tape scandal, to testify in the comedian's lawsuit against her.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Shakes said she wants to question Sabbag about the recording and the investigation that followed. She also plans to testify herself and call Hart as a witness.
Hart sued Shakes in December 2023 after she discussed his private life during an interview with blogger Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe. Shakes worked for Hart's company from August 2017 to October 2020. His complaint accused her of defamation and breaching a nondisclosure agreement. Hart denied her claims that he recorded a ****** ual encounter and faced criminal charges over it.
Shakes argues the agreement is invalid because Hart failed to meet obligations under it. Hart disputes that argument and says her comments damaged his reputation. In June 2026, he asked a judge to order Shakes to pay $50,000, citing the damages provision in their agreement.

A family trip to Dollywood took an unexpected turn for Britney Spears after footage from one of the park's rides sparked criticism online. The pop star documented her excitement while riding a spinning attraction during the outing with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline. However, some viewers objected to her repeatedly yelling an expletive at the family-oriented theme park. One critic branded Spears "clueless and classless," while another accused her of deliberately attracting attention despite covering her face to avoid being recognized.

The United States military has had 81 aircraft destroyed or damaged in the war with Iran, a Congressional Research Service report released this week says.
The number includes both airplanes and helicopters as well as drones, with the MQ-9 Reaper drone – used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, close air support and combat search and rescue – accounting for more than half of the losses.
But also on the list are some of the Pentagon’s most-prized ***** ets, including an F-35A fighter jet and an E-3 Sentry, the four-engine jet with a large radar dome atop the fuselage used for target tracking and airspace management.
The total cost of the aircraft lost is between $1.9 billion and $3.3 billion, depending on the Defense Department’s plans for replacements, the report said, citing figures from the Congressional Budget Office.
The total cost of the war is much higher – at least $45 billion, sources have told CNN. That figure doesn’t include damage to infrastructure at US bases in the region, including those where some of the aircraft losses happened.

Prince William has reportedly unknowingly imbibed his wife Kate Middleton's traits, even in her absence. The Prince of Wales seemingly echoed his wife's mannerisms during his solo visit to Somerset through spontaneous actions. Notably, the Waleses are focusing on their royal engagements amid Prince Harry's return and Charles Spencer's book drama, seemingly choosing not to react to the ongoing controversies.
Prince William reportedly appeared to emulate one of Kate Middleton's physical gestures during his solo visit to Somerset. As per The Royal Observer, the Waleses have always maintained a united front and have indulged in subtle, romantic gestures to showcase their sweet bond.
William's recent solo appearance at Somerset also seemingly confirms that he has subconsciously started mirroring Kate's expressions. During his trip, he visited the Town Football Club and interacted with senior citizens, fans, and kids at a local cafe. He rounded the trip with a visit to the fire station. While Kate wasn't there, her presence was strongly felt through William's actions. He seemingly made the same hand gestures as the Princess of Wales does when talking.
As per the outlet, the future queen is known for being a social and affable person. Not only that, her hand gestures and animated mannerisms are almost her trademark style. The prince made similar hand gestures during emergency scenarios with volunteers and young kids.
Not only that, as per the outlet, he had exciting conversations with children and even indulged them with high-fives. Fans have often viewed Middleton as a people person.

Investors have rushed to get in on artificial intelligence (AI) stocks over the past few years as they've identified AI as the next big thing in technology. AI is exciting as it helps companies streamline processes, lower costs, make better decisions, and so much more. This is why some see it as a true revolution. Jensen Huang, chief of AI leader Nvidia, has even likened it to the Industrial Revolution, saying it will reshape the job market as that period once did.
This year, AI stocks have met with some headwinds, from concerns about the pace of AI infrastructure spending to general worries about the economy. And that has weighed on the performance of some. Still, the overall industry and the S&P 500 have been on the rise, and demand for AI products and services remains high. ****** ysts expect the AI market to reach into the trillions of dollars in a few years, suggesting there is still plenty of growth to come.
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 »
Now, looking ahead, if I could only buy one AI stock before 2027, I know exactly which one to choose. It would be the following...
This particular stock is one I already own, but today, I would be happy to increase my position. I like this company because it is a leader in two booming markets, has an established track record of earnings growth, and could see a new burst of growth moving forward due to its strength in AI. The company I'm talking about is Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), a significant player in the e-commerce and cloud computing markets.

Russia on Monday sought to downplay reports that a laboratory technician had died of plague, even as President Donald Trump said Washington was closely monitoring the situation and offered US help.
Reports on Friday that pneumonic plague had killed a 28-year-old woman named Darya Shipilova, who had been working for the anti-plague institute in Siberia's Irkutsk region, sparked alarm.
"We're looking at it very strongly, we just heard about it," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked what Washington was going to do about the risk of plague coming from Russia.
"We'll help them, we'll help them as much as we can."
The Russian news outlet People of Baikal, citing unnamed sources close to the regional security services, said the dead woman may have contracted pneumonic plague from a broken test tube.

Actress Jaime King and investment banker Austin Sosa have ended their marriage after completing California's required waiting period. A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge signed the final dissolution decree Friday, October 2, making the pair legally single.
According to court records cited by PEOPLE, neither King nor Sosa will receive spousal support. The court permanently ended King's ability to seek payments from Sosa, while Sosa waived his right to receive ongoing support from the actress.
The couple did not have children together, so their divorce did not require custody or child support arrangements. Sosa's initial filing also stated that the pair had no community property, real estate, or marital debts that needed to be divided by the court.
The divorce follows a brief marriage. King and Sosa reportedly married in April 2025 and publicly announced their engagement that July. Sosa filed for divorce on January 22, citing irreconcilable differences.
California law requires a divorce to remain pending for at least six months after the respondent receives the petition and summons. The final court decision came nearly nine months after the initial filing.

The divorce follows a brief marriage. King and Sosa reportedly married in April 2025 and publicly announced their engagement that July. Sosa filed for divorce on January 22, citing irreconcilable differences.
California law requires a divorce to remain pending for at least six months after the respondent receives the petition and summons. The final court decision came nearly nine months after the initial filing.

(NewsNation) — Prince Harry is rumored to be preparing a documentary about Princess Diana to mark the 30th anniversary of his mother's death, with the potential 2027 project already eliciting some negative reaction.
Royal commentator and journalist Rob Shuter says he's all for the concept.
"It's his right to tell the story. That is his mom. Lots and lots of people will be making documentaries next year," he told "NewsNation Prime" on Saturday. "The historian in me, the reporter in me, says we want as much information as we possibly can get, and who better to talk about Princess Diana than her son?"
New book by Princess Diana's brother prompts war of words with King Charles III
The former Diana Spencer, who married and later divorced Prince Charles, was killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. At the time of her death, her eldest son, William, was 15; Harry was 12.

Oct 3 - Women, some citing their own experiences of ******* ual ******* ault, are posting on social media that they are Jane Doe, in solidarity with the woman using the pseudonym in accusing fraternity members of raping her at Cornell University in 2024.
In a case that has drawn national attention, the woman is suing seven fraternity members and the Ivy League school in Ithaca, New York, among others.
And although New York law allows "Jane Doe" anonymity for ******* ual ******* ault lawsuits, the Cornell student has become distressed at attempts by some online skeptics of her account to discover her name and publish it, her lawyer said.
"I want us to support Jane Doe in coming to her own way of identifying herself in her own time," said Twanna LaTrice Hill, a writer and actor in Denver who has declared #IamJaneDoe on social media in recent days. "And if she never does, that's fine. But the flip side of that is that the people like me need to speak up if we are able to."

President Donald Trump on Thursday said he is following the upcoming Brazilian election “very closely,” referring to Brazil as a “very important" country. "The people of Brazil are fantastic people,” he told reporters outside the White House. “It’s a very important election.”
The U.S. State Department later announced the suspension of its consular services in Brazil ahead of the election taking place on Sunday, citing unspecified security concerns. “U.S. citizens seeking emergency ****** istance during this time should not come to the Embassy, the Consulates, or other U.S. diplomatic facilities,” the security alert advised.

Brazilians are heading to the polls for a set of federal elections spanning congressional and gubernatorial races, alongside the first round of the presidential election votes. It’s set to be a decisive moment for Latin America’s largest nation, as the region has seen a shift toward the right in recent years. An Oct. 25 runoff is expected, as polls show a tight contest between leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and far-right Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who was convicted last year for plotting a coup to overturn his 2022 election loss. Trump led the conservative voices denouncing the conviction, referring to the trial as a “witch hunt.”
While Trump has acknowledged his active interest as Brazil votes on its political future, there are concerns he could be too involved. Trump and his Administration have been accused of attempting to interfere with the high-stakes overseas election.

Comedian Sarah Cooper, the internet's favorite Donald Trump impersonator, has a new target: Melania.
Cooper, 48, rose to viral stardom by sharing lip-sync videos of Trump on social media, released a pandemic-era Netflix special, and guest-hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live!. But the internet sensation took a break from MAGA impressions after Joe Biden won the presidency in 2020, citing Trump fatigue and wanting to focus on original work. Now, she's back.
In her new video, "Melania visits The Criterion Collection," Cooper skewers the first lady, 56. She plays a confused Melania visiting the Criterion Closet, a walk-in film archive in New York City.
"My name is Melania Trump," she begins. "I am OG first lady of the United States. And here I am in the Criterion Cookie Collection."
An offscreen voice cuts in to correct her. "The Criterion Closet." Cooper's Melania doesn't quite get it, adding, "The Criterion Collection closet."

Trump also again urged supporters to imagine that he himself was on the ballot.
President Donald Trump warned Republicans that Texas and Michigan are among the states the party is “worried about” ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, while speaking to voters in Oklahoma on Thursday.
Fresh off an event in Texas, Trump told a crowd in the reliably Republican state that he was not concerned about Oklahoma but that Republicans needed to turn out voters in other states.
"I feel a little foolish, you know. I’m saying, 'go out and vote, go out and vote.' You’re gonna, they’re gonna win in the last half, but still go out and vote," Trump said. "But we’re not worried about them. We’re worried about Michigan. We’re worried about Texas. We’re worried about a few states."
Trump later said Republicans need to get the word out about the midterms, citing what he described as 35 to 40 races that the party is concerned about.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been given a simple piece of advice as their family adjusts to life in the UK. Relationship expert Georgina Vass suggested that the couple focus on "honest communication." This comes as the couple helps their children navigate the major transition.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to the UK with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, after leaving the country back in 2020. The family is now believed to be living in the Cotswolds after relocating from California.
Speaking to "Gloucestershire Live", relationship expert Georgina Vass said the couple could help their children adapt by "modelling adaptation through honest communication about the hurdles, complicated feelings, and exciting opportunities." The expert also suggested creating consistent routines around school, meals, bedtime, and weekends. According to Vass, familiar routines could help reduce feelings of disruption while the children settle into their new surroundings.
Her advice also focused on Harry and Meghan's relationship. She said staying emotionally connected during disagreements and sharing disappointments could help couples develop stronger trust and mutual support. She added, "Relationships strengthened by adversity can develop greater resilience, honesty, and confidence in their ability to survive difficulty together as a team."
The move has also brought changes to Archie and Lilibet's education. The Sussexes' kids were initially registered at a British school in September. However, reports claimed the children later switched schools because of security and logistical concerns surrounding the route to that specific school. The school has not been publicly identified for safeguarding reasons. Reports suggested heavy traffic during rush hour had significantly increased the journey time, creating additional concerns around security.

Prince Harry is back in the spotlight after his eco-travel initiative, Travalyst, reported a five-figure loss. The Duke of Sussex launched the non-profit venture in 2019 with the goal of making travel more sustainable. Travalyst has maintained that the loss was planned and formed part of an investment in the organization's future.
According to RadarOnline.com, citing Travalyst's latest annual accounts, the organization recorded a loss of around $17,000 (£13,542) in 2025. The result represented a reversal from the previous year's stronger financial position.
A Travalyst spokesperson characterized the deficit as planned and relatively small, saying, "It was a planned and small loss of £13,000, very typical of a lean, not-for-profit organisation, making a critical investment for the future." The spokesperson continued, "Travalyst remains confident in its financial oversight and strength of its partnerships."
Questions surrounding Harry's role in the venture have persisted since 2023. The Duke of Sussex was reportedly absent during the organization's "pilot phase," which saw five new board members join with "world-class expertise." He has also become less visible as the venture's public face, with his most recent appearance in a promotional video dating back to May 2022.
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle's documentary, "Cookie Queens", also reportedly failed at the box office. In an interview with Page Six, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield advised the couple to "disappear professionally."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard reached out to Ken Urker with a birthday message on Thursday, but he did not respond. Urker was later found unresponsive at a home in Louisiana on Oct. 1, his 33rd birthday.
TMZ first reported Urker's death, citing family sources familiar with what happened. According to the outlet, Blanchard had texted Urker "Happy Birthday" earlier that day and did not receive a reply. A family member later found him unresponsive at the home. No official cause of death has been announced, and additional details about the circumstances surrounding his death have not yet been released.
Urker first contacted Blanchard in 2017 while she was serving a 10-year prison sentence for her role in the 2015 death of her mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard. According to A&E, Urker had seen the HBO documentary Mommy Dead and Dearest and wrote Blanchard a letter after learning about her case.
The two continued communicating and eventually developed a romantic relationship. Urker visited Blanchard while she was incarcerated, and the couple became engaged in 2018. Their first engagement ended the following year, and the two went their separate ways.
Blanchard later began a relationship with Ryan Anderson and married him in July 2022 while she was still in prison. She was released on parole on Dec. 28, 2023, after serving more than eight years of her sentence. Blanchard and Anderson separated in March 2024, and she filed for divorce the following month.
