On September 18, Prudential Financial (NYSE:PRU) announced it will sell every share it holds in Alexforbes, a company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Two buyers are splitting the stake. Alexforbes will repurchase roughly 372.8 million shares itself, and ARC AF Holdings will take about 74.1 million more. The package is worth about $185 million, a small number for a company managing $1.642 trillion. But the message matters more than the money. A plan Prudential laid out in August is now turning into signed agreements.
The logic is easy to follow. Prudential wants to operate in fewer places and put its money, people and attention where it thinks it can win for years. Andy Sullivan, the chief executive, says the aim is to lean harder on ***** et management, retirement and protection, and get those units working together more closely. David Legher, who leads emerging markets, called Alexforbes a successful investment, so this reads as a planned exit rather than a retreat from a problem.
The core business is giving management room to be choosy. On August 4, Prudential reported second-quarter net income of $985 million, up from $533 million a year earlier. That happened even though a charge from the yearly ***** umption update grew to $299 million from $134 million, so the underlying engine ran strong enough to absorb a bigger hit. The company also returned $743 million to shareholders in the quarter and held $4.2 billion in highly liquid ***** ets at the parent level. That does not look like a seller in a hurry.
Start with what has not happened yet. The deals are expected to close in the first half of 2027, and they still need Alexforbes shareholders to approve the buyback, along with regulatory sign-off. Until then, $185 million is an agreed price, not cash in the bank. Prudential also said New Veld's involvement continues before completion, so the company stays tied to the ***** et for now.
Then there is the size. Set against those trillions in ***** ets, this sale will not move results either way. Its value is strategic, and strategy takes years to judge. Prudential is giving up a foothold in a partnership it called important, and its remaining businesses have their own snags. Sales in Prudential of ***** an are suspended, and management said that weighed on international results even as earnings held up.

NVDA's $5 trillion market cap matches every Forbes 400 billionaire combined but equals just one-tenth of private business owners' $50 trillion collective wealth.
Jensen Huang guided Q3 revenue to $108 billion and projects 70% fiscal 2028 growth, calling the outlook supply-constrained against a $2 trillion cloud backlog.
Economist Owen Zidar estimates 3 million private business owners hold $50 trillion, a figure that dwarfs the $15 trillion held by all 3,795 global billionaires combined.

On Marketplace Morning Report, economist Owen Zidar delivered a number that reframes how investors should think about American wealth. Asked how much the country's hidden business-owner class actually holds, he answered: "We estimate that there are around 3 million everywhere millionaires who are business owners outside of tech and finance who have at least $5 million" and "Collectively it's around $50 trillion, which is enormous. The Forbes 400 only has about a tenth of that."

Six Anthropic cofounders made their debut on the Forbes 400 list of America's wealthiest people on Tuesday, with a combined net worth of $93 billion. Daniela Amodei, Dario Amodei, Tom Brown, Jack Clark, Jared Kaplan, and Sam McCandlish are each worth an estimated $15.5 billion, according to Forbes.
The six cofounders left OpenAI in 2021 to found Anthropic and have built the company into a significant competitor in the artificial intelligence industry, partly through the popularity of its Claude chatbot. Their fortunes rose in May, when Anthropic closed a funding round that more than doubled the estimated value of their individual stakes of roughly 1.6% each, according to Forbes. A seventh cofounder holds Canadian citizenship and does not appear on the list.
The Anthropic group ranked among the most prominent of 34 first-time entrants to this year's Forbes 400, which set a record minimum net worth of $4.4 billion, up from $3.8 billion in 2025. America's 400 wealthiest people are collectively worth $8 trillion, up from $6.6 trillion a year ago. The 34 newcomers account for $321 billion of that total.
The AI sector drove the largest share of new entrants, with 15 of the 34 newcomers drawing their wealth from the industry. OpenAI cofounder Greg Brockman topped the new members, debuting at No. 45 overall with an estimated $25.5 billion fortune. Robotics entrepreneur Brett Adcock ranked second among newcomers with an estimated $23.4 billion net worth, while investor Antonio Gracias, an early backer of multiple Elon Musk companies, placed third at $17.1 billion.
The Anthropic cofounders' arrival on the list follows a period of rapid growth at the company. Anthropic posted $11.6 billion in revenue in the second quarter, surpassing OpenAI's $6.7 billion for the same period — the first time Anthropic had led its rival on that measure. Anthropic also recorded a small adjusted operating profit of $559 million in the quarter, according to Forbes.

Serena Williams turned a frightening childbirth experience into a pointed conversation about women's healthcare. The tennis legend said her ordeal showed her how widespread those struggles had become.
Williams revisited the experience during the Forbes Power Women's Summit on September 10. She also connected her advocacy to motherhood, entrepreneurship and the example she wanted to set for her daughters.
Williams told Forbes Executive Vice President Moira Forbes that she initially misunderstood the scale of the problem. "When I told my story, I didn't realize how many people could relate," she said. "Then I realized it's a women's problem." She later delivered her bluntest punchline about childbirth. "If men were giving birth, they would have sweets [and] like all kinds of medicines," Williams said. She joked that the healthcare problem "wouldn't be the same" otherwise.
The 44-year-old faced life-threatening complications after delivering Alexis Olympia in 2017. Doctors performed an emergency C-section before a coughing fit reopened her wound. Williams previously detailed the ordeal in a 2018 CNN opinion piece. Doctors discovered a large abdominal hematoma before she developed a pulmonary embolism.
The condition triggered a six-day medical battle and multiple surgeries. Williams said her doctor listened when she knew something had gone wrong. "I knew something was wrong with me and it was super important that I was heard," she said. She credited her doctor and nurses with helping save her life.

Few retail chains that filled malls in the 1980s and 1990s still exist today.
Teenage me could have shopped at Chess King for shiny shirts, visited Gadzooks for baggy pants, or gone a little classier and purchased dressier clothes at Structure. All of those chains were fairly, if not very, popular for a minute, and none of them exist now.
Former Tory Burch Chief Client Officer Francesca Danzi told Forbes that it's a major challenge for a brand to remain relevant across decades.
"Enhancing retail experience is key and goes beyond adding omnichannel capabilities that boost convenience. We are witnessing the rise of experiential retail that is reshaping the store of the future," she said.
Danzi does not see the so-called retail apocalypse as a crisis where stores are closing, but as an opportunity to right-size store portfolios.

iShowSpeed is putting $1 million on the table, but winning a piece of it will require more than liking a post. The 21-year-old streamer, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., is at the center of a new nine-week competition that will send fans through a series of online and real-world challenges, culminating in a $250,000 final hunt. The competition launched on August 31 and runs through October 31.
Dubbed SPEEDRUN: Million Dollar Mission, the competition comprises 25 challenges across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Players can hunt for hidden briefcases, participate through social media, and find QR codes connected to the game at more than 4,000 Walmart locations and other participating retailers.
TikTok Shop loot boxes are also part of the competition. Dr. Squatch, which partnered with iShowSpeed on the campaign, first approached his team with the idea in April 2025.
COMPLEX SHOP: Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what's next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.
For Speed, the deciding factor in taking on a brand deal is whether it can fit naturally into the kind of content his viewers already watch. "If I can't make something entertaining or do something my audience would actually expect from me, I'm probably not going to be excited about it or even do it at all," he said to Forbes.

Fans are finally getting a look at the dog that was spotted with Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift a few weeks before their wedding.
According to Page Six, Forbes reported the name of Swift and Kelce's white Samoyed puppy in Kelce's ad for Tommy Hilfiger. A couple of hours after Forbes posted the article, they removed the dog's name, according to Page Six, but the rest of the article still remains live on their site.
Prior to the alleged erasure of the puppy's name, per Page Six, Forbes reportedly shared that the newlyweds named their puppy Wendy.
The puppy has been seen with the couple after they said "I do" on July 3 at Madison Square Garden. The dog was spotted getting off of Swift's private jet in Florida at Donald J. Trump International Airport in Palm Beach, Florida, according to photos obtained by TMZ. The dog was seen walking off the aircraft's steps and to Kelce, who was getting luggage from the plane.

Legendary singer and actress Dolly Parton passed away on Tuesday at the age of 80. While she was best known for her role in shaping global entertainment and, to many, as the "Queen of Country," Parton leaves behind one of the biggest philanthropic legacies ever.
At the time of her death, Parton was estimated to be worth $450 million. While this is a substantial amount of net worth built over a career, it also falls short of that of other entertainers of Parton's stature and may surprise some that she was never a billionaire, a status she failed to reach due to her philanthropy.
Forbes estimates Parton's net worth at $450 million, with the majority made up of a 50% ownership stake in the Dollywood theme park, estimated at around $165 million.

Michael Saylor says Bitcoin passes what he calls the Bernard Arnault test, a rule he uses to decide whether an **** et deserves serious money.
The Strategy executive chairman posted the argument on Monday in a short video clip on X, urging followers to think like a billionaire before committing capital.
Bernard Arnault chairs LVMH Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, the luxury group behind Louis Vuitton, Sephora and Tiffany & Co. The company owns 75 fashion and cosmetics labels. Forbes ranks Arnault 11th in the world with $142.3 billion.
Saylor borrows the name as shorthand for buyers at the very top of the wealth ladder. His test turns on a single question about future demand.
"Bitcoin passes the Bernard Arnault test. The Bernard Arnault test is this: I have a lot of money, what should I invest it in? I should buy something that someone richer than me, smarter than me, and more cultured than me will want to buy from me in ten years," Saylor said.

Columbiana County court records show York was initially arrested on charges of possessing criminal tools and engaging in prostitution, but the latter charge was reduced to disorderly conduct.
York was fined $1,150 for his charges and was made to pay other court fees, which court records show he has paid.

But his own dreams appear to be going up in flames. Garg — who abruptly dismissed 900 employees via Zoom in December 2021 — was himself abruptly fired this month.

For about two years, the federal government has kept a lid on Medicare drug premiums for millions of Americans. That arrangement is over.
On July 28, 2026, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) (1) announced an end to the Part D Premium Stabilization Demonstration. This subsidy was introduced under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 signed by President Joe Biden, according to Forbes (2).

Donald Trump's youngest son, Barron, is making waves with his net worth compared to his mother, Melania's. A recent report suggested that Trump's youngest son is comparatively richer than his mother. This comes after the debut of his beverage brand.
According to a Forbes report, Barron Trump has a higher net worth than his mother, Melania Trump's. The outlet suggests Barron is worth about $150 million, which is his share in the Trump family-owned cryptocurrency firm World Liberty Financial. Barron is credited as the firm's co-founder, and the President has claimed he learned about crypto from his son.
While Barron, 20, stands at $150 million, ******* o Magazine reported earlier that the First Lady, Melania, is worth $70 million, putting her below her son on the list of Trump family members' wealth.
The reports quickly went viral on social media, with a Reddit user commenting, "A net worth of $150 million, and he's never worked a day in his life." A second user stated, "What a genius, he must be a million% smarter and hardworking than every other 20yo guy, I wonder what kind of business this little genius succeed on with no help of his daddy money or influences."
Barron also recently entered the beverage sector with his company, SOLLOS Yerba Mate, and launched his own Pineapple + Coconut 12-pack drink, priced at $39. Barron is credited as the company's director and formed it with help from close friends.

Only Murders In The Building and Waverly Place star Selena Gomez is sounding fairly ******* off this week, denouncing a recent fraud lawsuit launched against her mental health wellness brand Wondermind. Per People, the lawsuit was aimed at Gomez, her mother Mandy Teefey, and former Wondermind co-CEO Daniella Pierson, claiming the trio "falsely represented" the company's "infrastructure, leadership, and resources" while soliciting more than a million dollars in investments—which is a fancy way to say that there have been a lot of allegations that, while the company sold itself as being able to capitalize on Gomez's massive celebrity and social media following (something that's made her cosmetics company Rare Beauty a reportedly billion-dollar business), in actuality, it was being run almost entirely by Teefey, with very little involvement from her famous daughter.
All of this was laid out in a fairly brutal September 2025 article in The Cut, which talked to several anonymous former Wondermind employees about the not-especially-pleasant-sounding experience of working for Teefey, who the article portrayed as unwell, disorganized, and generally not up to the strain of running a company alone. (Pierson, founder of The Newsette—and the subject of her own takedown article in Forbes last year—exited Wondermind a year after its 2021 founding, reportedly after conflict with Teefey.) The lawsuit says investors got seriously worried about getting their money back when Forbes ran a report back in May 2025 that the company had failed to pay its employees; Gomez reportedly stepped in to cover the debts.
(Meanwhile, if you're wondering what Wondermind—which bills itself as "The World's First Mental Fitness Ecosystem—actually does or makes, the answer is: Not very much, as far as we can tell. The site has run a blog, which has only intermittently been updated in recent years, and ran two short-lived podcasts in the past. But plans for snack offerings, a docuseries about Venus Williams, an app, and film projects have all failed to materialize. Many of the staffers quoted in The Cut article noted that Teefey—whose biggest professional success was pretty objectively the period where she served as Gomez's manager in the early years of her career, before being fired by her daughter in 2014—was good at suggesting projects, but not at actually bringing them to fruition.)
Gomez, like we said, sounds pretty angry to be getting her name and brand dragged through the mud with all this. Per People, her legal team put out a statement this weekend, stating that "The allegations that Selena Gomez engaged in any way whatsoever in any purported 'fraud' or other wrongdoing are completely meritless, both factually and legally. We will vigorously defend these false allegations and indeed are filing a motion to dismiss the baseless claims against her." Teefey and Pierson, both named as co-defendants, haven't made public statements as of yet.

Patriots Once Again Named Top Five Most Valuable Franchise in NFL originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Over the past few decades, the Patriots have become one of the premier organizations in the NFL, which has helped both on and off the field.
For years, the Patriots trailed really just the Dallas Cowboys as the most valuable organization in the NFL according to Forbes. That is largely due to the team's success, with the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick dynasty leading the charge to making New England such a valuable franchise.
When Brady left the organization, and the team's on-field performance dipped, other organizations caught up to New England in the valuation charts. However, the Patriots' remained in a strong position despite the losses before the team re-gained its winning ways last year with Drake Maye and Mike Vrabel.
In the aftermath of the Patriots' returning to the Super Bowl during the 2025 season, New England's valuation remained steadfast. Here's how the Patriots are valued compared to other organizations.

According to a report from Forbes, tennis legend Roger Federer has temporarily lost his billionaire status due to one of the companies he's invested in.
Roger Federer may have fewer major **** les than Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, but he's widely considered the greatest tennis player of all time by many fans.
Federer won more than $130 million playing tennis in prizes for his performances in various tournaments. However, his real wealth came off the court, from endorsement deals and shrewd investments.
A while back, Forbes announced that the Swiss legend had become a billionaire. Now, however, it seems he has temporarily fallen out of the club once again.

Following training camp, the Los Angeles Rams are set to take a major step in their preparations for the season, holding two joint practices and three preseason games. These will mark the first time the Rams go up against another team, providing a better evaluation of the roster.
As the team transitions to their physically demanding preseason schedule, here are five lessons we learned from training camp.
Myles Garrett was dominant throughout camp, while Trent McDuffie displayed the versatility and playmaking ability that make him one of the NFL's best. Jaylen Watson could cover every possible pass catcher the Rams put on the field. The defense dominated the latter portions of camp and the trio is a big reason why.
However, the greater impact is how they have elevated the pieces already on the field. Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and Kam Kinchens looked vastly improved. One would have to point to their teammates as a big factor in why.
Sean McVay virtually confirmed Bennett's role as a backup, with Ty Simpson set to play in preseason, while Bennett's participation remains in doubt. When Jimmy Garoppolo was the Rams' backup, he didn't play in preseason, alluding to Bennett likely being Matthew Stafford's backup in 2026.

Growing up in the spotlight doesn't always guarantee lifelong success, but for a select group of former child stars, early fame became the foundation for extraordinary wealth.
From billion-dollar beauty brands to cryptocurrency empires and sports franchises, these celebrities transformed childhood careers into multimillion-dollar — and in some cases billionaire — business empires.
Here's a look at some of the richest former child stars today.
Long before she became one of the world's biggest pop stars and entrepreneurs, Selena Gomez was winning over audiences on Barney & Friends before landing her breakout Disney Channel role on Wizards of Waverly Place.
Today, much of her fortune comes from Rare Beauty, the cosmetics brand she launched in 2020. While Bloomberg previously estimated her wealth at more than $1 billion, Forbes now values her net worth at around $700 million, making her one of the richest entertainers in Hollywood. Rare Beauty remains the largest contributor to her fortune, alongside earnings from music, acting, endorsements and Only Murders in the Building.

Five of the past six Scottish Premiership matches between Heart of Midlothian and Dundee United have been won by the away side, the exception a 1-1 draw at Tynecastle in November 2025. The last home win in this fixture was by Hearts in February 2023 (3-1).
Dundee United are unbeaten in three away games against Hearts in the Scottish Premiership (W2 D1), facing a different Hearts manager each time (Steven Naismith, Neil Critchley, Derek McInnes).
Hearts have lost their past two league games, last losing three in a row when they suffered five defeats in a row in August and September 2024. They have not started a season with two defeats since 2009-10 under manager Csaba Laszlo.
Dundee United have not kept a clean sheet in any of their past 17 away Scottish Premiership matches, since a 2-0 win at Dundee in August 2025. Since the start of last season, Dundee United have kept the fewest away clean sheets of any side in the league (1).
Only Rangers' Emmanuel Fernandez (15) won more aerial duels on MD1 of this season's Scottish Premiership than Dundee United's Michael Forbes (8). He also ranked first among his team-mates for headed clearances (7) and successful passes (32) in their 1-1 draw with Rangers.

Famed for his roles on Knight Rider and Baywatch, David Hasselhoff's iconic presence defined an era. Whether he's saving swimmers or singing to stadiums of adoring fans, the Hoff's unique energy is missed. At its peak, Baywatch's massive global audience briefly made it the most-watched television series on the planet, as reported by Forbes. Could a streaming-era revival or reality competition bring him back into the center stage?

Grammy nominee Tate McRae is continuing to take heat for her perceived **** ociation with the MAGA movement, after she refused to outright deny the speculation in a recent Variety interview in which she pointed to her support of LGBTQ+ and women's causes and said she thinks it's "pretty obvious" what side of the aisle she stands on.
Tate McRae attends the 2026 Met Gala.
McRae was asked about the **** umption—fueled largely by her rumored relationship with hockey star Jack Hughes and recent collaboration with country singer Morgan Wallen—and responded, "I like to say my piece through organizations I support," reportedly in reference to The Trevor Project, which focuses on suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth, and the Global Fund for Women, which supports gender equality movements.
McRae, a Forbes 30 Under 30 alumna, said she thinks it's "pretty obvious what kind of person I am and the things I support, and I hope that my fans can see that through the things that I'm putting my energy towards."
The singer has since been slammed for refusing to outright state that she's not affiliated with President Donald Trump's Make American Great Again movement, with online commenters suggesting her silence speaks "volumes."

According to Forbes, Rob Walton and family are worth $130.7 billion. To put that in perspective, let's borrow the method described by author Bill Bryson in his book I'm a Stranger Here Myself. He imagined a fictitious room where unending stacks of $1 bills were piled high and a person inside is given a marker. We'll pretend it's the Broncos mascot, Miles.
If [Miles] initialed one dollar per second, [he] would make $1,000 every seventeen minutes. After 12 days of nonstop effort [he] would acquire [his] first $1 million. Thus, it would take [him] 120 days to accumulate $10 million and 1,200 days— something over three years—to reach $100 million. After 31.7 years [Miles] would become a billionaire…
Tasked with a sharpie and the chore above, it would take Miles just 4,141 years, 231 days, 4 hours and 40 minutes to count dollar-by-dollar, the Rob Walton & family fortune. No bathroom breaks. No sleep. No hype sessions on top of the scoreboard.
…but they are going to claim they need your money via personal seat licenses to help offset the cost of building the new stadium.
Personal seat licenses are a one time or recurring fee for season ticket holders to get the right to buy their season tickets. Shockingly enough, the Broncos have managed to survive 66-years of season ticket sales without them, but now they're suddenly necessary? It's a cash-grab scam done by other teams to gouge their fans out of even more money; a scam that casually lives right next to $220 jerseys, $45 hats, and $19 beers.
