Hooray...but there's one little thing: one million dollars today doesn't buy what it did six years ago in 2020. On top of that, the money Americans set aside for retirement may be funding the destruction of America. For decades, we've been told that the 401(k) represented independence, ownership and a security. Meanwhile, trillions of dollars flowed into a small group of "asset managers" like Larry Fink with the power to influence American companies, energy policy, infrastructure and even the federal government itself. In this video, we follow the money from the disappearance of traditional pensions to the coal antitrust case involving BlackRock,…

A decade ago, a young banker in Manhattan hid his business cards at parties. The trading floor was social poison. Clubs turned suits away at the door.

An anonymous source now claims Keith Urban feels "relieved" that ex-wife Nicole Kidman has moved on with private equity investor Michael Reinstein, directly contradicting an earlier report that the country singer was "absolutely devastated" by the pairing. The whiplash between the two claims landed days apart. Earlier this week, an unnamed insider told reporters that Urban could barely handle seeing photos of Kidman, 59, spending time with Reinstein in Portofino, Italy. That source said Urban "had secretly hoped he and the 'Big Little Lies' star might eventually reconcile."
