When you think about what it means to be rich, specific images may come to mind. Perhaps you imagine someone on a yacht wearing a Rolex while enjoying champagne and caviar.
But when you try to define what it means to be "rich," the concept becomes more abstract; there's no set dollar amount or single physical ******* et that definitively makes you rich.
In fact, whether or not you're considered rich is largely relative to the value of your income and ******* ets when compared to the wealth of other people around you. For example, when determining if your salary qualifies as lower or upper income, The Pew Research Center considers how much you earn in comparison to people living in your area with the same family size.

Meghan Markle is reportedly planning to challenge Prince William and Kate Middleton. According to sources, the Sussexes are facing new tensions with the monarchy after the King issued a letter reaffirming their status as "non-working royals." As such, Markle is allegedly planning to share more royal secrets in her upcoming projects.
According to OK! Magazine, Meghan Markle is ready to fight Prince William and Kate Middleton after a letter confirming the Sussexes' status. "Meghan suspects William influenced his father's decision to put her and Harry in their place, and believes Kate supported the move," a royal insider told the publication.
The insider continued, "Meghan has correctly interpreted the Palace's position as an attempt to reinforce the Sussexes' exclusion from official royal life." This is "despite their apparent efforts to improve family relations."
However, "she is now ready to take on William and Kate, and fight back against them by spilling even more royal secrets in her future streaming projects." The ******* ss of Sussex "thinks she has nothing to lose now." Another source said, "Meghan believes she and Harry should respond more ******* ertively to negative publicity."
They continued, "The Sussexes could increasingly use their own professional relationships and communications platforms to explain their position." This means "more documentaries and takedowns of the royal family from their U.K. home."

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.

Sarina Wiegman has signed a two-year contract extension to remain England Women's head coach until the end of the 2029 European Championships.
The 56-year-old Dutch coach's contract with England was due to expire after next summer's Women's World Cup in Brazil.
The extension means Wiegman will remain in post through next summer's World Cup and Euro 2029, as well the 2027 Nations League campaign next spring which will serve as a qualification pathway for a Team GB squad at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
Wiegman's backroom staff, including Janneke Bijl and Arvid Smit, who joined after the 2025 Euros, will remain in post as well as long-standing goalkeeping coach Darren Ward.
It is the second contract extension of Wiegman's England tenure since her appointment in September 2021, having signed a new contract in 2024 after reaching the World Cup final with England in Australia and New Zealand.

FC Bayern welcome ****** nal to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening (21.00 CEST) for Matchday 3 of the Champions League. The Munich side faced the Gunners in the league phase last season too – and, after five consecutive matches against them without defeat (four wins), suffered a 3–1 defeat at the hands of Mikel Arteta's team in London. Now, FCB are out for revenge on their home turf, and as our ****** ysis of the facts shows, the prospects of that are pretty good.
Of the seven home games against the Gunners to date, the Munich men have lost just one and come away as winners on five occasions. The record champions have won all three of their most recent encounters in Munich – including two by a margin of at least four goals.
Overall, too, the head-to-head stats favour the Bavarians. In 15 Champions League meetings, FCB have won eight of them, three have ended in a draw and ****** nal have won four times. This means the London side have lost 53 per cent of their matches against FCB – of all the opponents the Gunners have faced five times or more in major European competition, they have a higher loss rate only against Barcelona (67 per cent – six defeats from nine matches).
The league phase of the Champions League and Munich's Allianz Arena – from FC Bayern's perspective, they're a perfect match: since a 3–2 defeat to Manchester City in December 2013, the German record champions have not lost a home fixture in the Champions League group stage/league phase. Of the 39 home games at that stage of the competition during this period, they've won 37 (with two draws) – most recently, they've even recorded nine consecutive home wins.
However, their opponents ****** nal have also been in outstanding form in the early stages of the competition recently and have won all of their last 14 Champions League group stage/league phase encounters. They last dropped points in November 2024, when they lost 1–0 away to Inter Milan.

The Penthouse Pet accused of stealing from older men has hired an Israeli attorney who is trying to get her extradited to her home country — a day before a judge will decide if she is competent to stand trial.
Lawyer Tai Sharki told The Post about his plans to spring former model Adva Lavie from LA County Jail, where she has been locked up since Beverly Hills police spotted her without her ankle monitor in July.
Sharki, who once served a lengthy prison sentence himself, said he was retained by Lavie "just a couple days ago" and described her jail stay as "traumatic."

This is one of the best letters that I have read in my lifetime ("We lived within our means: I earned $30,000 as a pastor and still retired comfortably"). I used to be a mortgage-loan officer; I would get a couple that each made six figures, but would have difficulty qualifying them for a loan amount they wanted because of their consumer-debt load.
Conversely, I would have a blue-collar "Joe Sixpack" that made substantially less but saved and saved and saved, and who got the loan he needed for a house. People in the U.S. need to wake up and not be compulsive: Quit buying things you really don't need. It's that way with the federal government as well, and based on that.
'People in the U.S. need to wake up': As a mortgage loan officer, I rejected applications from wealthy couples. Here's why.

Deciding how much to withdraw from your retirement accounts means finding a balance between enjoying life and making your money last. Taking too little leaves you with unused savings, while taking too much risks running out of money later. Taxes also affect how much you can actually spend. To help you create a retirement budget, let's break down the example of a 67-year-old with $870,000 in a 401(k), $120,000 in an IRA and $26,400 annually from Social Security. Here's what a withdrawal plan could look based on two rates.
A financial advisor can help you create a withdrawal strategy that balances your lifestyle needs, tax impacts and long-term retirement goals.
A 401(k) and a traditional IRA are both retirement accounts funded with pre-tax dollars. Contributions are deducted from your taxable income, allowing you to grow savings faster because the money enters the account before taxes. In retirement, however, all withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income. This includes both the money you contributed and the investment earnings.
This is different from a Roth IRA, which is funded with after-tax dollars. You do not receive an upfront tax deduction for contributions. The benefit comes later: withdrawals in retirement are tax-free, including both contributions and earnings.

Blatantly picking your favorite kid is one of those ultimate parenting taboos, right? And yet, Chris Hemsworth hasn't been shy about how he handles the topic with his three kids. Funny enough, when Hemsworth brought up his thoughts on playing faves with family members, it led to a bunch of fans who are pointing out something similar about what Thor does in the ordered Marvel movies. At least he's consistent, right?
Let's talk out this fun connection.
Chris is one of three kids himself, and since all the Hemsworth brothers have paved their own path in show business, there's been a lot of talk over the years about who "the best" is. While one might think that means Chris might treat all his kids equally given that experience, that's not necessarily the case. As he revealed:

Solana ranks most likely to 10x by 2030, needing to grow from $70B to $700B, which is the smallest market cap target of the four cryptos.
Bitcoin's 10x demands a $16.9T market cap, which would be nearly 60% of all gold ever mined, making it the least likely to achieve the milestone.
Expanding token supplies in Solana and XRP could dilute gains, while Bitcoin's 21M cap and Ethereum's fee-burning mechanism favor long-term price.

Investors in Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC), Ethereum (CRYPTO:ETH), XRP (CRYPTO:XRP), and Solana (CRYPTO:SOL) often hear predictions that their coins could 10x by 2030. However, what a 10x increase means varies greatly between these cryptocurrencies. For Solana, it would mean growing from a market cap of approximately $70 billion to $700 billion. For Bitcoin, it would need to rise from $1.69 trillion to nearly $17 trillion—almost three times the value of Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), currently around $6 trillion.

Ash Gardner has spoken publicly for the first time about the alleged affair with teammate Georgia Voll that contributed to the breakdown of her marriage to Monica Wright.

Gardner said the situation became far more public than she expected and admitted she had been "naive" about the level of attention it would attract.

The controversy came to light earlier this year when Wright revealed the affair on social media. The relationship is believed to have begun during the Women's World Cup in India last year. Gardner has since apologised to Wright and said she has spent time reflecting on what happened.
Speaking to Australian outlet CODE Sports, Gardner acknowledged that her public image had taken a hit, saying, "My reputation has been tarnished with the public, but I guess something that I always try to strive to do when representing any team that I play in is be the best teammate that I can, and hopefully show what this team means to me when I'm playing for them."

The Australian vice-captain also said being a high-profile athlete means personal matters can attract intense public interest.

"Playing sport at a high level, you're open to having a platform, and sometimes with this comes interest from the public, and they want to know things about your personal life, and they invest, and then can make judgment either way of what you are or aren't doing."
Gardner admitted she was shocked when Wright publicly identified Voll, writing, "This is who my wife cheated on me with," alongside a photo of the teammate.

"I was certainly surprised, as you could imagine," Gardner said.

She added, "I certainly didn't expect the situation to take the path that it did, or to become as public as what it did. But I also understand that everyone has their own way of dealing with difficult situations."

Gardner said she now wants to focus on learning from the experience, having difficult conversations where necessary and moving forward with the Australian team.

She also said she understood Wright's perspective and tried to remain positive during what she described as a very difficult period.

Spooky season is here, which means Kings Island's Halloween Haunt is in full swing, and a famous Cincinnati native stopped by for all the thrills and chills.
Nick Lachey, the 98 Degrees boy band member and "Love Is Blind" host, shared the family outing to Kings Island in an Oct. 6 Instagram post. Lachey, along with his three children and wife Vanessa, with whom he co-hosts "Love Is Blind," posed in front of one of the park's most beloved (or hated) rides, depending on whom you ask: The Beast.
"Beast Mode activated! Kicked off Fall at Kings Island. Kids loved riding The Beast, the longest wooden rollercoaster in the world! Kings Island … you still got it!" he wrote.
Lachey's recent Kings Island visit was a full-circle moment as the singer, who attended the School for Creative & Performing Arts in Over-the-Rhine, also worked at Kings Island as a teenager. The 98 Degrees member was in a barbershop quartet.
"I started off singing a cappella barbershop music, walking around the park and singing to guests," Lachey said in a 2013 interview, per The Hollywood Reporter.

EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR) is a company focused on properties designed for experiential and educational purposes. One of the benefits of owning its stock has been its dividend, which has increased for four consecutive years.
EPR is a real estate investment trust (REIT), which means it must pay out at least 90% of its taxable net income as dividends to retain that status. That makes it highly likely that payouts will continue. As the dividend has become more generous, it might surprise investors how little it takes to generate more than $1,000 in annual dividends in this stock.

Working with whole shares, 269 shares purchased for $15,182 will generate $1,001 in annual dividends.
This amounts to an annual dividend of $3.72 per share with a yield of about 6.6%. That is far above the S&P 500 average of 1.1%. Moreover, it is one of the few stocks paying monthly dividends, which might make it especially appealing to income investors.

Neymar Jr. has found a playmate who isn't shy about posing, and it is none other than his toddler daughter. The Brazilian footballer marked his little girl Mavie's birthday with a set of photos, and the little one clearly joined in the fun. There are pouts, wide eyes, and smiles all around as the father-daughter pair have fun. A heartfelt message came with the pictures, and it shows what being a girl dad means to the star footballer.
Neymar Jr. posted the carousel on Instagram to mark his daughter Mavie's third birthday on 6 October. The first image is a sweet portrait where the toddler crawls on a wooden floor and beams at the camera. She wears a simple black top with white stripes and jeans.
Things get livelier in the second photo. Father and daughter pose in front of an arched mirror at a pink dressing table. Mavie, her hair falling in soft curls, holds a makeup brush while her father takes the mirror selfie. The last two pictures are adorably comic. Mavie and Neymar are in frame in pink and black T-shirts, respectively. In one shot, she and her dad pout in unison, and in the next, both stare wide-eyed with their mouths open, making funny faces together.
The caption was written in Portuguese, and a translation shows how personal it is for the 34-year-old footballer. Neymar credits Mavie for helping him become a better father, not only to her but to her brothers and sisters. He adds that he always wanted a daughter and knew he would love the experience. He goes on to note that her smile, especially in her eyes, brightens his day. Neymar finishes his tribute to his daughter by promising to be her safe haven every day.
Mavie is one of Neymar Jr.'s four children. He has a son, Davi Lucca, with Carolina Dantas, while Mavie and Mel are his daughters with Bruna Biancardi. He also shares his daughter Helena with Amanda Kimberlly. In June, Neymar and Biancardi announced that they were expecting their third daughter together and Neymar's fifth child. The baby, whom they plan to name Mariah, will join Mavie and Mel.

An expert believes Meghan Markle and Prince Harry should fund their own everyday security in the UK. According to a royal expert, British taxpayers should not cover the Sussexes' day-to-day protection. Her comments followed a security scare at their children's school.
A royal expert explains how the school scare affects Prince Harry's security argument. The Duke and **** ss of Sussex spoke out after photographers were seen looking into the grounds of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet's school.
A spokesperson for the couple called the photographers "extraordinarily reckless." They also described the incident as an unacceptable intrusion into children's privacy.
Reports claim that two paparazzi were at the scene and appeared to work together. Lynn Carratt told The Express US that the incident strengthens Harry's case that his family faces genuine security and privacy concerns. She said photographers allegedly walking around the school perimeter and monitoring children makes the couple's need for proper security obvious.
However, Carratt does not believe that automatically means British taxpayers should fund the couple's day-to-day protection. She noted Harry and Meghan chose to step back as working royals and later chose to return to live in the UK.

Florida exempts a $600,000 IRA from Medicaid's $2,000 ***** et limit once the account enters payout status through RMDs or regular distributions.
Every IRA distribution counts as income against Florida's $2,982 monthly cap, and nearly all of it goes directly to the nursing home.
A named IRA beneficiary keeps the remaining balance out of probate, blocking Florida's estate recovery claim under Fla. Stat. § 409.9101.

A Florida retiree entering long-term care with $600,000 in her IRA looks like an automatic Medicaid denial. A single applicant there can't hold more than $2,000 in countable ***** ets. Thankfully, Florida's IRA Medicaid rules leave a narrow opening: once a retirement account is in payout status, the state can exclude the balance from the ***** et count. This means withdrawals still count, each distribution is treated as income, and that income ends up paying most of her nursing home bill.

AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV) was trading at around $263 on October 5, up 14.18% over twelve months. Its payout ratio is 190.40%. The company distributes nearly twice what it reports as profit.
A dividend that large is either about to be cut or is being paid out of something the earnings line does not show.
READ ALSO: Here is Why Tripadvisor (TRIP) is a Bad Investment at Today's Price
AbbVie reported net income of $6.27 billion and generated $16.87 billion of free cash flow. Dividends are paid from the second number, so a ratio measured against the first is describing depressed earnings rather than a company living beyond its means.
The margins show what depresses them. Operating margin is 40.04%. Net margin is 9.80%. Thirty points vanish between those lines, and where they vanish matters. Costs that high sitting below the operating line are not the business failing to earn. They are the amortization of a drug portfolio AbbVie bought rather than discovered, plus interest on the debt that bought it.

The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) was trading at around $193 on October 5, down 11.91% over twelve months. Boeing reported net income of $2.09 billion over the past twelve months. Its EBITDA over the same period was negative $2.9 billion.
Those two figures describe the same year and point in opposite directions. Only one of them tells you what the business did.

Start with the figure that describes the aircraft business itself. Boeing's operating margin is 0.00%. On $93.99 billion of revenue, building and selling airplanes earned nothing.
That is not a rounding problem. Gross profit was $4.43 billion on that revenue, under five percent for a manufacturer, which means the cost of building the aircraft very nearly equals what customers pay for them.

FYEE beat JEPI on a $100,000 investment in 2026, paying $7,023 versus $6,070, but FYEE's quarterly payout has fallen from $0.82 to $0.56 per share.
JEPI's monthly distributions better match recurring expenses for retirees, while FYEE's quarterly schedule suits investors who reinvest or can wait between payments.
FYEE's lower share price ($30 vs. JEPI's $56) means $100,000 buys nearly twice as many shares, which is why it delivers more cash despite lower per-share payouts.

The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSEARCA:JEPI) built its following on a simple promise. It holds lower-volatility U.S. stocks, adds income from S&P 500 call-option premium, and sends a check every month.

On an identical $100,000 investment this year, though, the Fidelity Yield Enhanced Equity ETF (CBOE:FYEE) has paid more cash while writing far fewer checks.

Jim Cramer has built a career on conviction calls, and few have been more consistent than his faith in Amazon (AMZN). For years, the Mad Money host has treated the retail giant as close to untouchable. A permanent fixture in nearly every portfolio he recommends.

Cramer made the comment live on CNBC's Squawk on the Street on September 28, after watching a demonstration of Meta's (META) new AI shopping capability. "I'm an Amazon guy, but maybe I shouldn't be. This seemed impressive," he said, speaking as a shopper describing his own buying habits rather than making a stock call.
The timing gave the remark unusual weight. Meta shares had climbed roughly 24% over the prior month. Amazon fell roughly 8% over the same stretch. Investors were already debating which company was winning the fight for online shoppers before Cramer weighed in.

After 43 drawings with no jackpot winner, the Powerball's big prize stands at $1 billion in annual payments or a lump sum cash payment of $433.1 million. The next drawing is set for Wednesday, Aug. 12.
The odds of winning a lottery jackpot are slim — 1 in 292.2 million for Powerball, according to the lottery.
So, imagine for a moment you do win. How much of the prize would you take home after taxes? We'll break it down — and suggest six ways to invest your windfall safely.
The IRS taxes lottery prizes differently depending on how the winner chooses to get paid. You have two choices: lump sum payout or annual payments spread over 30 years. Most lottery winners opt for the cash lump sum up-front, even though it ultimately means fewer dollars in their pocket, but still a whole lot.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is recognized as one of the world's most elite businesses. And as a result of its success, investors have profited immensely. The consumer discretionary stock has soared 1,070% in the past decade (as of Oct. 2).

Apple currently pays a dividend that totals $1.08 per share on an annual basis. This means that investors would need to own 9,259 shares to generate $10,000 in yearly income. At the current stock price of $331.22, investors must fork over almost $3.1 million to buy enough shares.
Clearly, Apple isn't a compelling dividend stock. Its dividend yield is extremely low at 0.32%. However, the payout has grown by 89% in the past 10 years.

General Hospital alum Chris McKenna just revealed he needs emergency jaw surgery this week.
The former Jack recently shared a health update on X, posting an X-ray of his jaw and writing, "I had a broken crown fixed last month and they discovered a spot on my x-ray."
He continued, explaining what this means for his mouth: "Turns out I need emergency surgery in the morning to remove a cyst that has eaten away at my jawbone and have a bone graft. Good thing I broke that tooth! This is gonna hurt but lucky we caught it."
While this certainly isn't something McKenna wanted to hear, the former soap star is making the best of the scary situation. Shortly after his announcement, he posted, "The good news is I'm gonna be on pain meds for weeks and my tweets might be hilarious."

Hasan Piker came to the defense of children's entertainer Ms. Rachel after Fox News warned parents against her content, blasting the network for finding "two people who don't want children to be slaughtered" unacceptable.
The drama started on Fox News' "The Big Weekend Show," when contributor Tomi Lahren weighed in on Ms. Rachel (also known as Rachel Anne Accurso)'s past collaborations with left-wing figures, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
"I'd also say this person here on your screen is Hasan Piker in overalls and a stupid headband," Lahren noted during the conversation. "So, if that's what you want your kids to be watching, if that's what you want to be forming their ideas and their world view on, by all means."
As Lahren went on, she took aim at Ms. Rachel's appearance, adding, "There she looks age appropriate in that one photo."
"Listen, you can be a leftie and you can be like, a kids' educator, right? And you can be like, 'I'm a Democrat,' whatever," she continued. "But when you go so far as to advocate for things like Hamas, Palestine and you cloud people's judgement on what exactly a genocide is and who's to blame and you talk about Israel then you are not a children's educator anymore. You're a political activist. Like I said, Hasan Piker in a headband and overalls. So, parents, if that's what you want, I guess keep watching Ms. Rachel."
