This is wild. One of the world’s richest men has saved ~$1 billion in taxes over decades—just by plowing his dividend income into real estate.

Does AI threaten your 401k? Legendary advisor Bill Bengen thinks it might. He's cut his tech exposure to zero on the uncertainty. After years of dominance, software and mega-cap valuations are straining under AI. That poses a risk to savers everywhere. Read more @forbes.com 👇

NEW: Epstein emails show how billionaire financier Leon Black, founder of Apollo, relied on the convicted sex offender to help him leverage his multi-billion-dollar art for $500m+ in loans from Bank of America. www.forbes.com/sites/johnhy...

"Black paid Epstein $158 million between 2012 and 2017 for advice related to tax, estate, and asset planning. That is a vast amount of money to pay for such services, especially for a Wall Street insider with easy access to top expertise."

We profiled refugees who: Arrived in the country legally. Applied for green cards. Were arrested by ICE and detained. One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released. This is an unprecedented operation. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/u...

"Restricted" is the wrong word, clearly. What Musk has actually done is make the undressing of any woman or child on the platform an EXCLUSIVE feature for paying subscribe. He's made it a subscriber perk. This is some of the most fucked-up shit ever.
