Four top tech executives have joined the U.S. Army Reserve as lieutenant colonels, skipping basic training and stepping directly into roles aimed at helping modernize the military.&nbsp;
The initiative is part of a broader push by the Army to bring in private-sector innovation and reshape how the service approaches technology, talent, and modernization.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Army Forms Detachment 201 To Bridge Tech And Defense</h2>
The executives—Palantir (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) Chief Technology Officer Shyam Sankar, Meta (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CTO Andrew Bosworth, OpenAI Chief Product Officer Kevin Weil, and advisor at Thinking Machines Lab and former OpenAI Chief Research Officer Bob McGrew — will serve in a new unit called Detachment 201, also known as the Army's Executive Innovation Corps.

</ul>
&#8220;Detachment 201 is being created to bring in tech innovation executives to help the Army … on broader conceptual things like talent management, how do we bring in tech-focused people into the ranks of the military, and then, how do we train them,&#8221; Army Chief of Staff spokesperson Col. Dave Butler, told <a href="https://breakingdefense.com/2025/06/anduril-meta-openai-execs-to-commission-into-army-reserve-form-detachment-201/">Breaking Defense</a> on June 13.
Unlike traditional recruits, these executives will not attend boot camp. Instead, they will go through an express training program that covers marksmanship, physical fitness, Army history, and protocols. They will be expected to serve about 120 hours per year and pass annual fitness tests.
&#8220;You could think of it as a pilot&#8221; of a lighter version of basic training, Butler told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-execs-just-joined-the-army-boot-camp-not-required-2025-6">Business Insider</a>.&nbsp;
The detachment's name, 201, references the HTTP status code indicating a newly created resource—a fitting metaphor for a new kind of Army asset.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not Just Symbolic: Executives Will Advise On Real Projects</h2>
According to an Army <a href="https://www.army.mil/article/286317">statement</a>, the new officers will work on &#8220;targeted projects to help guide rapid and scalable tech solutions to complex problems.&#8221;
Their advisory roles will include input on AI-powered military systems and optimization tools for soldier fitness. However, safeguards will be in place to avoid conflicts of interest with their current or former employers.
&#8220;We've done this over and over when our nation needed top talent,&#8221; Butler told Breaking Defense. &#8220;The difference is we used to do it in wartime. Now we're doing it ahead of wartime so that we can prepare and deter.&#8221;

Palantir, Meta, OpenAI, And Thinking Machines Just Had Their Executives Sworn Into The US Army Reserve

Entrepreneur and &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; investor,&nbsp;Kevin O&#8217;Leary, has expressed concern over the increasing difficulty Americans are experiencing in contributing to their 401(k) plans due to overspending. 
What Happened: Despite acknowledging&nbsp;the importance of 401(k) plans&nbsp;as a retirement savings tool, O&#8217;Leary points out that many Americans are struggling to make significant contributions due to their spending habits. 
He observes that many are living from&nbsp;paycheck to paycheck, burdened by&nbsp;debt, and holding unrealistic expectations of sudden wealth.
As per the report <a href="https://www.thestreet.com/retirement/shark-tanks-kevin-oleary-sounds-alarm-on-401-k-growing-problem">by</a> The Street, O&#8217;Leary proposes a &#8220;90-Day Number&#8221; calculation, which subtracts total expenses from&nbsp;total income over three months. A positive result suggests room for increased 401(k) contributions, while a negative result serves as a wake-up call to reduce spending and budget more effectively.
According to the 2025 first-quarter&nbsp;Household Debt and Credit Report&nbsp;from the Federal Reserve Bank&nbsp;of New York, total U.S.&nbsp;household debt has increased to $18.2 trillion, with credit card balances reaching $1.18 trillion, a 6% increase from the previous year.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41198968/kevin-oleary-told-student-to-pick-business-over-fianc-e-shes-easier-to-replace">Kevin O&#8217;Leary Told Student To Pick Business Over Fiancée: &#8216;She&#8217;s Easier To Replace&#8217;</a>
O&#8217;Leary highlights the peril of credit card debt, describing it as a &#8220;financial cancer&#8221; that impedes&nbsp;the ability to save and&nbsp;invest. He criticizes credit card companies for their high interest rates and argues that their profit model is heavily dependent on&nbsp;consumers who carry a balance&nbsp;month to month.
O&#8217;Leary believes that credit card companies safeguard this high-yield system by making&nbsp;credit easy to obtain and&nbsp;promoting&nbsp;spending behaviors that trap consumers&nbsp;in debt cycles. 
He encourages Americans to&nbsp;prioritize long-term security over short-term&nbsp;gratification and to make conscious financial decisions that will enable them to contribute adequately to their 401(k) plans.
Why It Matters: The rise in household debt and the difficulty in making 401(k) contributions are intertwined issues. The increasing reliance on credit and the cycle of debt it creates are significant barriers to retirement savings. 
O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s warning serves as a reminder of the importance of financial discipline and the need for effective strategies to manage spending and debt. His &#8220;90-Day Number&#8221; proposal is a practical tool that can help individuals assess their financial health and make necessary adjustments to their spending habits. 
This is crucial in ensuring long-term financial security and the ability to contribute to retirement savings.

Kevin O'Leary Highlights Growing Concern Over 401(k) Contributions Amid Rising Household Debt

A plot of land neighboring Jeff Bezos&#8216; property in Miami was sold for a staggering $105 million. The undeveloped lot was sold <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36631415/this-amazon-applicants-interview-answer-earned-her-a-seat-3-feet-away-from-amazons-bezos">by German investor Mikhail Peleg.</a>
What Happened: The sale of the property on Indian Creek Island has set a new record for this ultra-exclusive location. The buyer of the property remains anonymous, but the transaction was made in cash, as per Forbes.
Peleg, a resident of Switzerland, bought the approximately 2-acre&nbsp;land in 2018 for $27.5&nbsp;million. Although he initially planned to build on the plot, the project was eventually abandoned. 
&#8220;When&nbsp;I purchased this property in&nbsp;2018, it was the highest&nbsp;sale price on the market,&#8221; Peleg told the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/06/20/real-estate/mikhail-peleg-sold-his-jeff-bezos-adjacent-lot-for-105m/">outlet</a>. 
&#8220;People&nbsp;told me I was overpaying,&nbsp;that it wasn't a smart&nbsp;investment. But I saw the&nbsp;long-term potential in both the&nbsp;land and the vision we&nbsp;had for the property.&#8221;
The property, located&nbsp;at 9 Indian Creek Island&nbsp;Road, was&nbsp;listed for $200 million late&nbsp;last year. It drew attention due to its proximity to properties owned by Bezos.

The final sales price of $105 million&nbsp;sets a new record for&nbsp;Indian Creek Island,&nbsp;just $15 million shy of&nbsp;Miami's most expensive home sale.
Why It Matters: Indian Creek Island is renowned for its exclusivity, with access heavily restricted. 
The island is home to high-profile residents such as Tom Brady, Carl Icahn, and Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.
The record-breaking sale price of this property underscores the high demand for real estate in this exclusive location, despite the high costs. 
The sale also highlights the potential for significant returns on investment in the luxury real estate market, as demonstrated by Peleg&#8217;s substantial profit from his 2018 purchase.

Mystery Seller Behind $105 Million Plot Next to Jeff Bezos Estate Finally Revealed

After spending time in multiple career-related subreddits, one Reddit user had a realization that registered with people: Reddit sometimes makes the job market look worse than it really is.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Reddit Isn&#8217;t The Full Picture</h2>
&#8220;I've been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45184505/she-earns-130k-on-onlyfans-and-has-a-masters-degree-in-business-still-shes-looking-to-switch-careers-because-the-job-is-boring">trying to switch careers</a> recently and joined a bunch of subreddits — tech, healthcare, education, engineering, etc.,&#8221; the original poster <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/jobs/comments/1levt2q/reddit_makes_it_seem_like_literally_every_job_is/">wrote</a>. &#8220;And in every single one, it's the same thing: &#8216;No jobs&#8217; &#8216;The market is dead&#8217; &#8216;Everything's saturated&#8217; &#8216;You should've started 10 years ago&#8217;.&#8221;
But they pushed back on the despair. &#8220;People get hired every single day. That's a fact,&#8221; they said. &#8220;The people who are getting jobs aren't posting here. The ones who are stuck are the ones who are venting.&#8221;

</ul>
Their perspective resonated, especially as others chimed in with their experiences. &#8220;I <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44408726/got-laid-off-so-i-went-all-in-on-living-frugally-redditor-shares-how-they-saved-big-and-why-these-tips-may-be-more-important-than-ever">got laid off</a> at the beginning of the year and was terrified because I'm here lurking a lot,&#8221; one person commented. &#8220;Luckily, I'm pretty good at interviewing and landed a [work-from-home] job maybe two weeks after. I never posted about how fast I was able to find work, so what you say is true.&#8221;
Others said the negativity isn&#8217;t universal across fields. &#8220;Tech jobs in education, medical, and finance are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45671051/as-unemployment-trends-upwards-these-college-majors-offer-the-best-job-prospects">booming right now</a>. I moved companies earlier this year and did not have any trouble finding another fully remote position for a significant raise,&#8221; one person added.
Still, the thread also highlighted the brutal side of the market. Many shared long stretches of unemployment and feelings of defeat. One mid-level developer said they&#8217;d sent out over 100 applications in four weeks and heard back from only five. &#8220;I&#8217;m not the best interviewee and am a poster child for, &#8216;if it wasn&#8217;t for bad luck, I&#8217;d have no luck at all.'&#8221;

New graduates, in particular, seemed to bear the brunt of the pain. &#8220;Some have literally been unemployed for 2-3 years now,&#8221; another person said of recent tech grads. &#8220;One of [my friends] is a camp counselor at a coding camp. The other, working IT at a warehousing startup.&#8221; He described them as &#8220;Smart kids, high 90's in HS and 3.8 and above GPA in university.&#8221;
The nursing and teaching sectors drew mixed responses. Many users acknowledged that these fields continue to experience high demand due to staffing shortages, burnout, and high turnover. However, some pointed out that employers often prefer experienced workers, leaving recent graduates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/education/25/06/46007465/jamie-dimon-sounds-alarm-on-skills-gap-calls-for-overhaul-of-us-education-system">without opportunities</a> to gain that very experience.&nbsp;
Others emphasized how working conditions and pay in these sectors contribute to why positions remain unfilled, with some describing the workload and pressure as overwhelming despite the steady demand for workers.
Reddit&#8217;s tendency to skew toward doom and gloom was a recurring point. &#8220;Reddit as a collective has the mentality of a depressed 16-year-old. It definitely shouldn&#8217;t be used as a barometer for anything,&#8221; one person joked. Another added, &#8220;It's like reading reviews on Amazon. People only post something negative, while positive is rarely posted.&#8221;

In the end, the original poster urged job seekers to stay the course. &#8220;Don't let [Reddit] convince you that nothing is working anywhere for anyone. That's just not true. If you're feeling discouraged, I get it. But keep going. You're probably doing better than you think.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">May's Job Market Data</h2>
Recent <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">data</a> from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics paints a mixed yet still functional employment picture. In May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/06/45812372/us-labor-markets-defies-tariff-concerns-as-nonfarm-payrolls-wages-top-expectations-in-may">employers added 139,000</a> nonfarm payroll jobs, keeping the unemployment rate steady at 4.2%. Job gains were led by health care, leisure and hospitality and social assistance.&nbsp;
While federal government payrolls declined, private-sector hiring continued. Though slower than prior months, growth continues, supporting the idea that &#8220;people get hired every single day.&#8221;

A Jobseeker Says Reddit Paints A Bleak Job Market. But Then Admits People Are Still Getting 'Hired Every Single Day. That's A Fact'

The tech leaderboard of 2030 could look radically different, not just because of who rises <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">but also because of who fades</a>.
A <a href="https://x.com/KoyfinCharts/status/1936092201920217573" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">post</a> on X by Koyfin reveals that Coatue&#8217;s recent projections for the next wave of trillion-dollar companies suggest a shift in how value is being created across industries.
Notably absent from the top 40 are Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>).
The exclusion isn&#8217;t arbitrary.

Both companies face structural challenges that could curb future growth. Alphabet, for instance, is increasingly under pressure as generative AI threatens its core search and ad businesses — the very engines that built its empire.
CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/alphabet-expects-slight-headwind-to-ads-business-in-2025-execs-say.html#:~:text=Alphabet%20will%20likely%20be%20impacted,advertising%20pullback%20from%20budget%20constraints." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a> that Alphabet may face headwinds due to the rising costs of materials essential for building and maintaining the technical infrastructure—like data centers—needed to support its AI ambitions. Additionally, it could feel indirect pressure from a slowdown in advertising spend, as companies tighten budgets, the report adds.
Competitors like OpenAI are already redefining how users interact with information.
Apple, while still wildly profitable, hasn&#8217;t demonstrated category-defining innovation post-iPhone.
Hardware saturation and China-related supply chain risks continue to weigh on investor confidence.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), OpenAI, and SpaceX are being valued not just for current profits but for owning the infrastructure of the future — AI, energy, automation, and space.
Bitcoin&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) placement among the top three underscores another trend: institutional acceptance of crypto as a legitimate store of value.
The market isn&#8217;t just rewarding performance anymore — it&#8217;s betting on disruption, scalability, and vision.

</ul>
Here are five major things Musk refuses to waste money on—even though he easily could.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Multi-Million Dollar Homes</h2>
Between 2020 and early 2021, Musk sold seven homes in California, including multiple Bel-Air properties. The total price tag? Over $100 million.
Rather than upgrade, he reportedly moved into a <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1402718368633745410">$50,000 Boxabl prefab home</a> near SpaceX headquarters in Boca Chica, Texas. It's a 375-square-foot cube—modest even by non-billionaire standards.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Furniture —&nbsp; Even a Decent Mattress</h2>
In a March 2022 <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2022/03/grimes-cover-story-on-music-and-mars">interview with Vanity Fair</a>, Canadian musician Grimes—Musk's former partner and the mother of three of his children—described his lifestyle as anything but billionaire-like.
"Bro does not live like a billionaire," she said. "Bro lives at times below the poverty line."
She recalled their time living in a "$40,000 house" with no security and neighbors who could easily film them. At one point, she said she was eating peanut butter for eight days straight. But the most telling example? Their mattress had a hole in it—and Musk still refused to replace it. Instead, he suggested they just switch sides.
Trending: Invest early in CancerVax's breakthrough tech aiming to disrupt a $231B market. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/this-company-may-have-found-a-way-to-treat-cancer-by-tricking-the-bodys-immune-system-and-early-studies-show-some-promise-find-out-how-you-can-invest-in-the-future-of-cancer-treatment">Back a bold new approach to cancer treatment with high-growth potential.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hotels and Fancy Lodging</h2>
Musk doesn't even technically have a primary residence. In a 2022 TED interview, <a href="https://youtu.be/YRvf00NooN8?si=eHOFbWh1eqbxKj4q">he told host Chris Anderson</a>:
"I don't even own a place right now, I'm literally staying at friends' places."
In a 2015, Google co-founder Larry Page shared a story with Ashlee Vance, the author of Elon Musk's first biography, "Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX and the Quest for a Fantastic Future."
Page recalled Musk occasionally reaching out for a place to crash, saying:
"He'll email and say, ‘I don't know where to stay tonight. Can I come over?'"
Page added with a laugh that Musk was "kind of homeless, which I think is sort of funny," offering a glimpse into the billionaire's unusually casual and nomadic lifestyle.
And way back in <a href="https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2021/01/07/elon-musk-gets-his-mclaren-supercar-1999-vault-orig.cnn">1999, Musk told CNN</a>:
"Three years ago, I was showering at the YMCA and sleeping on the office floor. Now I have a million-dollar car."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gourmet Food or Dining Out</h2>
At 17, Musk decided to test whether he could survive as an entrepreneur by living on just $1 a day for food. It wasn't a stunt—it was a personal challenge to see if he could handle the financial uncertainty that came with starting a business.
He described the experiment during an interview on Neil deGrasse Tyson's "<a href="http://startalkmedia.com/">StarTalk</a>":
"In America it&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40612658/elon-musk-says-he-survived-on-1-per-day-before-becoming-the-richest-man-in-the-world-in-america-its">pretty easy to keep yourself alive</a>. So my threshold for existing was pretty low. I figured I could be in some dingy apartment with my computer and be okay, and not starve."
During the Zip2 startup years, <a href="https://x.com/teslaownersSV/status/1532784330103107584">he ate Jack in the Box and White Castle burritos</a>, showered at the YMCA, and funneled every spare dollar into the company.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Luxury Cars…Though He Did Once Crash a $1 Million McLaren</h2>
Musk recalled the infamous crash himself during an interview with Sarah Lacy for PandoDaily. After selling Zip2, he had purchased a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/37016578/elon-musk-spent-1-million-on-a-super-rare-mclaren-f1-but-then-crashed-it-trying-to-impress-peter-thi">McLaren F1 and decided to show it off</a> to PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel.
"Watch this," Musk said—then floored it, spun out, and launched the car into the air before crashing.
His reaction afterward? "It wasn't insured."
Since then, Musk has stuck with practical models. He <a href="https://supercarblondie.com/elon-musk-drives-specific-tesla-model-everyday/">mostly drives a Tesla Model S</a> or Cybertruck. He's also dismissed the idea of building a budget Tesla under $25,000, calling it "silly" during a 2024 Tesla third quarter earnings calls.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sometimes Less Really Is More</h2>
Musk could afford anything. But time and again, he chooses not to. Whether it's sleeping on friends' couches, keeping a broken mattress, or skipping dinner reservations for dollar menus, Musk lives like a man focused on Mars—not material things.
And as far as he's concerned, that's the point.

'Possessions Kind of Weigh You Down'— Elon Musk Is the Richest Man In The World But Avoids These 5 Pricey Purchases Most People Can't Resist

Pavel Durov, the CEO and co-founder of messaging platform&nbsp;Telegram, has announced that his vast fortune will be inherited by his numerous offspring.
What Happened: In an interview with the French outlet Le Point, Durov said that his 100-plus children will be the beneficiaries of his multi-billion dollar estate.
Durov, who is officially recognized as the father&nbsp;of six children from three&nbsp;different partners, has also fathered over 100 children across 12 countries via sperm donation. During the interview he <a href="https://www.lepoint.fr/high-tech-internet/exclusive-pavel-durov-on-his-arrest-in-france-macron-russia-the-fbi-and-the-fight-for-telegram-19-06-2025-2592412_47.php#11">said</a>,&nbsp;&#8220;They are all my children&nbsp;and will all have the&nbsp;same rights. I don&#8217;t want&nbsp;them to tear each other&nbsp;apart after my death.&#8221;
The Russian entrepreneur, whose net worth is estimated at nearly $14 billion, recently drafted his will, stipulating that his children would not gain access to his wealth until three decades from now.&nbsp;
&#8220;I want them to live&nbsp;like normal people, to build&nbsp;themselves up alone, to learn&nbsp;to trust themselves, to be&nbsp;able to create, not to&nbsp;be dependent on a bank&nbsp;account,&#8221; Durov added.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/social-media/25/05/45710748/ex-says-musk-told-her-he-fathered-child-with-japanese-pop-star-said-he-would-give-sperm-to-anyone-who-wanted-it">Ex Says Musk Told Her He Fathered Child With Japanese Pop Star, Said He Would Give Sperm To Anyone Who Wanted It</a>
&#8220;I wrote my will very recently. I have decided that my children would not have access to my fortune until a period of 30 years has elapsed, starting from today,&#8221; he said. 
Durov, who founded Telegram in 2013, was apprehended by French authorities last year on allegations of aiding in criminal activity via Telegram, charges he has persistently refuted. Despite these accusations, he continues to helm the messaging platform, which claims around&nbsp;1 billion active users globally.
Why It Matters: Durov&#8217;s decision to distribute his wealth among his numerous offspring is a unique approach to inheritance, particularly given the vast number of children involved. 
His desire for his children to live &#8220;normal&#8221; lives and not be dependent on his fortune reflects his belief in self-reliance and personal development. This move also ensures that his wealth will be distributed evenly, potentially avoiding future family disputes over inheritance.
Despite the controversy surrounding his arrest, Durov remains a significant figure in the tech industry, with Telegram continuing to be a major player in the messaging platform market. 
His decision regarding his fortune may have implications for his children&#8217;s future involvement in the company and the tech industry at large.

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov To Leave His $13.9 Billion Fortune to His 100+ Children

Billionaire Elon Musk is worth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45932793/elon-musk-net-worth-down-64-billion-in-2025-but-tesla-ceo-still-richer-than-value-of-ford-general-mo">more than $350 billion</a>, giving the Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO the opportunity to buy nearly anything he wants.
While Musk doesn't own any yachts or multiple houses anymore, the billionaire had no problem spending $1 million to buy a famous movie car back in 2013.
What Happened:&nbsp;One of the most expensive personal items ever purchased is the car from the James Bond movie "The Spy Who Loved Me," which he bought in 2013 for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31727712/5-of-the-craziest-things-elon-musk-has-spent-his-money-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nearly one million dollars</a>.
In the 1977 movie, which stars&nbsp;Roger Moore&nbsp;as Bond, a sports car that can transform into a submarine and fire missiles underwater is featured. The vehicle was nicknamed "Wet Nellie" and saw a marine engineering firm convert it into a functional submarine. A retired U.S. Navy SEAL in full scuba gear helped perform the underwater scenes in the movie.
While buying the famous vehicle might be a crazy story for Musk, it's an even crazier story for the couple that once owned it.
A couple from New York purchased an unclaimed storage unit for $100 in 1989 via a blind auction, which means unlike the storage unit auctions you may have seen on TV, the bidders couldn't see what was inside or even open the door.
As reported by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/12/01/couple-paid-100-for-car-elon-musk-bought-it-from-them-for-6-figures.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CNBC</a>, the couple found the 1976 Lotus Espirit sports car when they opened the unit after winning. Surprisingly enough, the couple had never watched a James Bond movie.
"They really didn't know what it was," Ian Fleming Foundation Co-Founder&nbsp;Doug Redenius&nbsp;told NBC in 2013. Redenius helped authenticate the car for the couple, who ran a construction tool renting business at the time.
"They had no idea how valuable their discovery was."
According to the story, the couple loaded the car onto a truck and while driving it home were told several times by truckers via CB radio that it was a James Bond car that they were hauling. The discovery led to the husband going out and renting the Bond film on VHS to see the car in the movie.
The couple "cosmetically restored" the vehicle and featured it in exhibits before deciding to part ways and put it up for auction in 2013.
The car purchased by Musk is one of eight that was used during the filming of the 1977 film, but is the only one that was used in the underwater scenes. After filming, the car went into a storage unit.
Musk bought the vehicle anonymously in a 2013 auction with RM Sotheby's. The purchase price was $997,000 for the James Bond car.
It was later revealed that Musk was the buyer of the vehicle.

</ul>
Musk a Fan Of James Bond:&nbsp;Musk has said in interviews that he was a fan of James Bond movies, particularly "The Spy Who Loved Me."
"It was amazing as a little kid in South Africa to watch James Bond in ‘The Spy Who Loved Me' drive his Lotus Espirit off a pier, press a button and have it transform into a submarine understeer," Musk said previously.
In a 2013 interview, Musk said that he was disappointed the James Bond car he bought didn't actually transform.
"What I'm going to do is upgrade it with a Tesla electric powertrain and try to make it transform for real."
Tesla&nbsp;investors and customers may be familiar with the design of the vehicle featured in the James Bond movie. Musk has called the vehicle a major inspiration for the highly anticipated Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup truck.
"Cybertruck design influenced partly by The Spy Who Loved Me," Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1197638937109336066" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tweeted&nbsp;</a>in 2019.
Along with being influenced by The Spy Who Loved Me, the Cybertruck design was also inspired by the "Blade Runner" film.
&#8220;I specifically wanted to make something that looks like the future,&#8221; Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36104426/elon-musk-wanted-to-make-a-vehicle-for-the-future-one-that-blade-runner-would-drive">said in an interview</a>. &#8220;What car would Blade Runner drive?&#8221;
Musk has&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1252098355062173696" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">teased&nbsp;</a>for years that the Cybertruck would be able to drive through water, a reference to the underwater capabilities of "Wet Nellie."
It&#8217;s hard to believe that a $100 storage unit purchase by a couple in 1989 led to a one million dollar payday, and also may have played a hand in the design of the Cybertruck.&nbsp;
While the Cybertruck may not live up to Musk's once lofty expectations based on current demand trends, the unique vehicle design will likely be talked about for decades.

Elon Musk Paid $1M For A James Bond Car — It Was Found In A $100 Storage Unit

Mark Cuban didn't always own NBA teams and billion-dollar businesses. Long before the Dallas Mavericks, long before &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; he was just a kid growing up in Pittsburgh, watching his dad grind out 60-hour weeks <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37384456/mark-cuban-credits-fathers-wisdom-for-billion-dollar-success-story-his-job-didnt-have-a-future">upholstering car seats</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Life-Changing Milestone</h2>
Cuban still remembers the moment he told his dad Norton that he had made $100,000 in a single year. &#8220;He cried,&#8221; Cuban said in a 2019 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMnrZWXID_s">interview</a> on &#8220;The Dan Patrick Show.&#8221; &#8220;He did upholstery on cars and I don&#8217;t think he ever made more than $40,000 in a year.&#8221;

</ul>
The money wasn't just a number. For Cuban, it meant freedom. For his father, it was pride. "It wasn't so much that it was hard for him," Cuban added. "But we would go out to dinner and he would still pull out the credit card. Even when it was my credit card, he gave me a death stare, like, &#8216;Don&#8217;t even think about paying.'&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Lesson That Shaped His Life</h2>
Cuban also credits his work ethic and values to his dad, who gave him a key piece of advice when he was 14: &#8220;Time is your most valuable asset.&#8221;
&#8220;His time was never his own,&#8221; Cuban told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/28/mark-cuban-built-his-career-using-advice-his-dad-gave-him-at-age-14.html">CNBC</a> last year. &#8220;He wanted me to create my own path.&#8221;
That mindset pushed Cuban to chase independence over a high-paying job. He wanted to control his schedule and never answer to anyone else.&nbsp;
Cuban started <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/06/39440861/mark-cuban-began-his-millions-selling-garbage-bags-for-6-the-worlds-first-garbage-bag-door-to-do">selling trash bags</a> door to door at age 12, then stamps and coins. In college, he taught disco lessons for $25 an hour and opened a bar using the money from side hustles. His first big win came when he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/12/42638290/mark-cubans-wealth-journey-i-want-to-live-off-this-for-a-long-time">sold MicroSolutions for $6 million</a> in 1990. Less than a decade later, Yahoo acquired his next company, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41234173/how-mark-cuban-turned-broadcast-com-into-5-7b-sale-we-were-the-youtube-of-our-day">Broadcast.com, for $5.7 billion</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Still Just Dad</h2>
Despite the success, Cuban says some things never changed. His dad moved to Dallas after Mark <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44571779/mark-cubans-big-revelation-says-he-lost-hundreds-of-millions-owning-the-dallas-mavericks">bought the Mavericks</a>, but kept his same humble approach. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t get him to retire, and finally that was kind of the impetus for him to retire and come down to Dallas and live and just hang out and go to Mavs games,&#8221; Cuban said.&nbsp;
He never gave his dad one big gift. Instead, he gave him the option to go anywhere in the world. His dad took full advantage, cruising across the globe and collecting friends along the way. &#8220;I&#8217;d get emails from random people who met my dad on cruises,&#8221; Cuban told Patrick.
And at home? Cuban might be a billionaire, but to his kids, he&#8217;s still just Dad. &#8220;One of my daughters says, &#8216;You don't know anything about business, Dad,'&#8221; Cuban joked on Theo Von&#8216;s <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiK6IWhDbWU">podcast</a> last year.&nbsp;

When Mark Cuban Hit $100,000, He Told His Dad, Who'd Never Earned Even Half That. 'He Just Started Crying'

President Donald Trump has publicly contradicted Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard amid reports suggesting Gabbard&#8217;s influence within Trump&#8217;s administration is declining.
What Happened: Trump dismissed Gabbard during a press briefing on Friday. When asked about intelligence supporting a potential strike on Iran, to which Trump replied that Iran had accumulated &#8220;a tremendous amount of nuclear material.&#8221;
As reported <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/shes-wrong-trump-says-tulsi-gabbard-incorrect-about-iran-not-having-nuclear-weapon-capabilities">by</a> Fox News, when told that his intelligence team had said that Iran is not close to achieving a nuclear weapon, Trump retorted, &#8220;Well, then my intelligence community is wrong. Who in the intelligence community said that?&#8221; Upon reporter&#8217;s mention of Gabbard, Trump&#8217;s response was a curt, &#8220;She&#8217;s wrong.&#8221;
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43758634/mary-trump-warns-dni-gabbard-could-lead-to-catastrophic-outcome-a-known-russian-asset-defender-of-murderous-dictator-assad">Mary Trump Warns DNI Gabbard Could Lead To &#8216;Catastrophic Outcome&#8217;: &#8216;A Known Russian Asset,&#8217; Defender of &#8216;Murderous Dictator&#8217; Assad</a>
This public disagreement follows a recent media report that Gabbard&#8217;s influence within the administration was on the decline. This was after Gabbard released a video warning about the potential for nuclear annihilation, which reportedly upset Trump.
Despite the public disagreement, Vice President&nbsp;JD Vance&nbsp;voiced his support for Gabbard, characterizing her as a &#8220;veteran, a patriot, a loyal&nbsp;supporter of President Trump, and&nbsp;a critical part of the&nbsp;coalition he built in 2024.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The public contradiction of Gabbard by President Trump raises questions about the stability within the administration and the potential impact on national security. 
Gabbard&#8217;s diminishing influence could lead to a shift in the administration&#8217;s approach to intelligence and foreign policy. As a key figure in Trump&#8217;s 2024 coalition, Gabbard&#8217;s potential sidelining could also have political implications.

Trump Publicly Contradicts DNI Gabbard's Claim That Iran Lacks Nuclear Capabilities: 'She's Wrong'

When a small business owner called into Dave Ramsey&#8216;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBqXJvG4QEM">EntreLeadership</a>&#8221; podcast recently, she didn't talk about marketing, sales, or profits—she asked for help dealing with something more personal: what to do when too many employees are out for weeks at a time due to illness or family emergencies.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ramsey: &#8216;Grace Can Only Go As Far As the Math Allows&#8217;</h2>
With nine employees and around $700,000 in annual revenue, the specialty retail and race timing business owner told Ramsey she&#8217;s struggling with multiple extended employee absences.
&#8220;It&#8217;d be one thing if it were one person, but it&#8217;s multiple,&#8221; the owner said. &#8220;And I&#8217;m just a small retail store.&#8221;

</ul>
Ramsey, who has run businesses of all sizes, told her, &#8220;At your size, you can only absorb so much of it in the name of grace. And then you can&#8217;t continue to absorb it all because you won&#8217;t have the money to pay the people that are there because the work&#8217;s not getting done.&#8221;
He sympathized with her desire to be kind and flexible, but said <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45829838/a-22-year-old-ceo-asks-dave-ramsey-what-to-do-about-an-employee-asking-for-ownership-his-advice-after-a-sincere-laugh-hit-the-road-jack">the numbers don't lie</a>. &#8220;My grace can only go as far as the math allows it.&#8221;

I didn&#8217;t have the money to do that.&#8221;
The small business owner clarified that her team members aren't lazy. &#8220;None of them I would look at and go, &#8216;Oh, you&#8217;re slacking.'&#8221;

&#8220;Welcome to leadership. Sometimes it&#8217;s hard&#8230; because small business people like you and me, we care about folks, we don&#8217;t just cut their throat,&#8221; Ramsey noted.
He recommended setting a clear policy: allow three weeks of PTO, and then no more than one month unpaid. Beyond that, the position likely needs to be filled.
&#8220;You&#8217;re just never here, so we probably ought to call it out loud and say that,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I feel bad for you, but I also can&#8217;t go on not getting this work done.&#8221;

His closing reminder: &#8220;The good of the whole outweighs the good of the one. When you can&#8217;t afford to do it, you can&#8217;t afford to do it. That's not evil, it&#8217;s just the stage of business you&#8217;re at. I&#8217;d like to tell you it gets easier. It gets more complicated, is all it gets from here.&#8221;

A Small Store Owner Struggles As Staff Constantly Call Out Sick Or Care For Family. Dave Ramsey Says Corporate America Would Just Fire Them

Donald Trump Jr. has joined billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban in publicly voicing disapproval of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)&#8217;s approach to healthcare pricing.
Despite their political differences, Trump Jr. and Cuban found a common point of contention in Warren&#8217;s healthcare pricing strategy. They criticized the senator for not addressing&nbsp;the role of pharmacy benefit&nbsp;managers (PBMs) in escalating drug costs.
Warren had previously argued&nbsp;that the tax system was&nbsp;&#8220;rigged&#8221;&nbsp;because large pharmaceutical companies like&nbsp;Johnson &amp; Johnson&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>) often escape federal taxes while charging exorbitant prices for their drugs. 
She wrote on X saying that the "highest drug prices in the WORLD while often paying ZERO dollars in federal taxes themselves."

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Cuban countered this by stating that PBMs, not pharmaceutical companies, are the ones controlling and manipulating drug pricing.

Trump Jr. publicly supported Cuban&#8217;s viewpoint on X, despite Cuban&#8217;s well-known opposition to President Trump. This unexpected agreement highlights the growing concern over the role of PBMs in healthcare pricing.

PBMs have been facing increasing scrutiny from federal regulators and lawmakers due to their influence on healthcare pricing. 
In 2020, the Federal Trade Commission released a report criticizing PBMs for imposing unfair terms on independent pharmacies, thereby favoring large corporate pharmacies like&nbsp;CVS&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>).
The public criticism from Trump Jr. and Cuban underscores the growing debate over the role of PBMs in healthcare pricing. 
Warren&#8217;s focus on pharmaceutical companies, while not entirely misplaced, overlooks the significant influence of PBMs in determining drug prices.
The Federal Trade Commission&#8217;s report from last year further highlights the need for regulatory scrutiny of PBMs. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how lawmakers will address the issue of healthcare pricing and the role of PBMs in the future.

Donald Trump Jr. Joins Mark Cuban In Slamming Elizabeth Warren on Healthcare Pricing

If you're working hard just to scrape by, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) says it's not just draining — it could be deadly.
According to a <a href="https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/new-report-working-class-americans-can-expect-to-die-at-least-7-years-earlier-than-the-wealthy/">Senate report released by Sanders</a> in March, the wealth gap in America isn't just about who can afford nicer things. It's about who lives longer. And the answer, Sanders says, is simple: "In America today, the bottom 50% of our population can expect to live seven years shorter lives than the top 1%."
It gets worse for rural, working-class Americans. In some parts of the country, the difference in life expectancy stretches to a full 10 years — with some counties facing a 15-year gap between the rich and poor. "Even worse," Sanders said, "Americans who live in working-class, rural counties can expect to die 10 years younger than people who live in wealthier neighborhoods across the country."

</ul>
The reason? "The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42914736/bernie-sanders-pushes-for-32-hour-work-weeks-with-no-pay-loss-it-is-time-to-reduce-the-stress-level-in-our-country">enormous stress</a> of living paycheck to paycheck," Sanders said, "not only causes far too many Americans to die much quicker than they should, but also leads to higher levels of anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease and poor health."
The report shows that people living in the highest-income counties live over 84 years on average. In the poorest half of counties, life expectancy drops to 77.4. In rural areas where the median income is around $30,000, people are expected to live to just 71.7. Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41703390/are-you-richer-or-poorer-than-your-peers-heres-a-look-at-the-average-net-worth-for-your-income">people in suburban counties making over $100,000</a> often reach 81.6.
To put that in perspective: In Loudoun County, Virginia, life expectancy is 84. Just a few hours away in McDowell County, West Virginia, it's 69.
Sanders said he asked Americans on social media how <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45968055/bernie-sanders-says-ai-boom-must-serve-working-families-not-billionaires-calls-for-shorter-work-week-higher-quality-of-life">stress from low wages and high costs</a> was impacting their lives.

Edwardo from Texas wrote, "We struggle to get sleep. Our diets fluctuate, and we get sick from spoiled food from the donation pantry. Working long hours, I was recently injured and am struggling, unable to pay for care to help heal."
Caitlan from Colorado shared, "Stress isn't just an inconvenience for me — it's a direct threat to my heart. Living with a congenital heart defect and multiple mechanical valves means that every surge of anxiety, every sleepless night worrying about bills, isn't just mentally exhausting — it physically wears on my heart."
Sanders says these aren't outliers — they reflect a system that punishes people for being poor. His recommendations include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Raising the minimum wage to at least $17 per hour </li>
<li>Enacting Medicare for All to guarantee health care</li>
<li>Providing paid family and medical leave</li>
<li>Expanding Social Security and restoring pensions</li>
<li>Making education accessible regardless of income or ZIP code</li>

"In the richest country in the history of the world, it is absolutely unacceptable that so many Americans are seeing their lives cut short because they don't have enough money," Sanders said. "This is an issue that Congress must address."
A 2022 systematic review published in the <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8863240/">National Library of Medicine</a> analyzed 40 studies, including many from the U.S., and found a consistent link between financial stress and depression. Americans facing debt, low income, or trouble affording basic needs were significantly more likely to experience depressive symptoms — especially those in lower-income households.&nbsp;
The message is clear: If you're middle class and barely hanging on, you're not just working your life away — you might be working it shorter, too.

Bernie Sanders Says Working-Class Americans Die 10 Years Earlier Than the Rich — Blames 'Enormous Stress of Living Paycheck to Paycheck'

Elon Musk has leveled a public accusation against Sergio Gor, a senior aide to President Donald Trump, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45827968/trump-vs-musk-betting-markets-anticipate-next-move-in-musk-trump-feud-predict-low-chances-of-musk-forming-political-party">alleging a federal crime</a>.
What Happened: Musk asserts that Gor, currently serving as the director of the presidential personnel office, falsified his birthplace on federal forms, a misstep Musk labels as a &#8220;serious crime.&#8221;
This accusation surfaces amidst a growing dispute between Musk and Gor, which Musk suggests has strained his relationship with President Trump.
The allegations from Musk were triggered by a series of social media posts by race car driver Igor Sushko, who labeled Gor as a &#8220;Russian spy.&#8221; Sushko had disseminated a New York Post story that cast doubt on Gor&#8217;s birthplace, among other articles.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
At the heart of Musk&#8217;s allegation is his claim that Gor neglected to fill out his own SF-86, a vital vetting form needed for U.S security clearance.

This is despite Gor&#8217;s responsibility in&nbsp;vetting thousands of executive branch&nbsp;employees. The White House, however, maintains that Gor has completed the form and possesses the necessary clearance.
The conflict between Musk and Gor has been intensifying since Gor allegedly swayed Trump to retract the nomination of Musk&#8217;s friend, Jared Isaacman, for a leadership position at NASA. This event reportedly led to a rift between Musk and Trump, which has been under the public eye.
Why It Matters: The ongoing feud between Musk and Gor has significant implications, particularly considering Musk&#8217;s influential role in the tech industry and Gor&#8217;s position within the Trump administration. 
The fallout between Musk and Trump could potentially impact future collaborations between Musk&#8217;s companies and the federal government. 
Furthermore, the allegations against Gor, if proven true, could lead to serious legal consequences and shake up the current administration.

Steve Jobs once argued the greatest innovators are "both the thinker and doer in one person," invoking Leonardo da Vinci to prove that creativity and execution rarely succeed apart.
What Happened: Addressing engineers in the early 1990s, the Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APPL#NASDAQ">APPL</a>) co-founder <a href="https://allaboutstevejobs.com/videos/misc/future_of_pc_1990">said</a>, "The doers are the major thinkers. … Did Leonardo have a guy off to the side thinking five years out what he would paint? Of course not. Leonardo was the artist, but he also mixed all his own paints."
Jobs's point is that discovery flows from hands-on mastery. "It's very easy to take credit for thinking," he said. "Dig a little deeper and you find the people who really did it were also the people that worked through the hard intellectual problems as well."

Why It Matters: The thinker-doer thesis now frames a broader debate over when entrepreneurs hit their stride.

The gap reflects years spent &#8220;doing,&#8221; honing skills and spotting problems first-hand before leaping to &#8220;think&#8221; up solutions.
Modern CEOs frequently echo Jobs. Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Elon Musk reposted the quote last year with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39393059/elon-musk-agrees-with-legendary-apple-co-founder-steve-jobs-on-thinker-doers-the-doers-are-the-major">one-word endorsement</a>: "True." Venture capitalist Paul Graham <a href="https://x.com/paulg/status/1840698085434884544">tells</a> founders to "learn by building" because abstract ideation rarely survives first contact with users.
For Jobs, that convergence of art and engineering remained Apple's guiding doctrine until his 2011 death. "There is no difference in our industry," he said. "The people that have really made the contributions have been the thinkers and the doers."

Steve Jobs Once Cited Leonardo Da Vinci's Example To Explain Why All 'Major' Thinkers Had This Trait That Made Them Exceptional

Billionaire Mark Cuban has revealed that the Kamala Harris campaign sought to vet him for the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nomination, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45829489/mark-cuban-reacts-to-elon-musk-donald-trump-feud">an offer he chose to decline</a>.
What Happened: Cuban, ex-owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was asked by the Harris campaign to submit vetting documents for the VP role. The billionaire confirmed the rumor during an interview on Friday.
Cuban justified his decision <a href="https://www.thebulwark.com/p/mark-cuban-harris-camp-asked-for">by</a> stating in the interview, &#8220;I&#8217;m not very good as the number two person.&#8221; He further confessed his discomfort with the traditional vice presidential duties of &#8220;shaking hands and kissing babies.&#8221;
While Cuban speculated that the Harris campaign would have taken a &#8220;different&#8221; direction with him as the VP pick instead of Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), he also conceded that a Harris administration with him as VP would have been a disaster.
&#8220;She would have fired me&nbsp;within six days,&#8221; Cuban admitted.

Despite rejecting the VP offer, Cuban remained a staunch supporter of Harris, making appearances at her events in battleground states and handling press calls. 
He even proposed that Harris could nominate him to head bodies&nbsp;such as the Federal Trade&nbsp;Commission or the Securities and&nbsp;Exchange Commission.
Why It Matters: The revelation of Cuban&#8217;s declined VP vetting offer adds a new dimension to the political landscape. His candid remarks about his unsuitability for the role underscore the importance of personality fit in political partnerships.
Despite his refusal, Cuban&#8217;s active support for Harris and his openness to leading federal agencies suggest his ongoing interest in political involvement. 
This development could potentially influence future campaign strategies and candidate selections.

LVMH Chair and CEO Bernard Arnault praised the finalists for their "entrepreneurial spirit and hard work," adding that innovation remains central to the group's mission of excellence.
"Innovation has always energized the growth of our Maisons and their desirability. This innovation is not an end in itself, but rather a means to achieve excellence. I'm always delighted to meet these young entrepreneurs, and to see them working with our centuries-old Maisons and be recognized for their entrepreneurial spirit and hard work," Arnault said in the statement.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Omi Joins A New Class Of AI-Powered Creative Startups</h2>
Omi says its technology allows brands to turn static product data into interactive 3D content that can be deployed across websites, e-commerce platforms, and social media.
Rather than relying on traditional photography or slow post-production workflows, the platform generates high-fidelity visuals directly from 3D models, streamlining product rollout and campaign development.
With LVMH recognizing Omi as a leader in innovation and a new partnership underway with L'Oréal, the startup may push brands a step toward broader adoption of AI-powered visual platforms in luxury.

LVMH Awards AI Startup Omi For Disrupting Luxury Visuals With 3D Tech: 'Recognized For Their Entrepreneurial Spirit' Says Bernard Arnault

Starbucks Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SBUX#NASDAQ">SBUX</a>) might never have grown beyond six Seattle coffee shops if not for Bill Gates Sr., the towering attorney, who stepped in when Howard Schultz lacked the cash and the clout to buy the company in 1987.
What Happened: Schultz, then 33, had 60 days to raise $3.8 million after Starbucks' founders offered to sell the chain. One month in, he had only half the money, and a deep-pocketed investor from his previous venture, Il Giornale, swooped in with a higher $4 million bid. "I had no money. Nothing," Schultz later recalled at a Summit event in 2018.
A lawyer friend sent Schultz to meet his firm's senior partner — six-foot-seven Bill Gates Sr., father of Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) co-founder Bill Gates. After hearing Schultz's story, Gates Sr. marched him across the street to confront the rival bidder. "You should be ashamed of yourself," Gates Sr. said to the bidder, according to Schultz. "You are going to stand down. And this kid is going to realize his dream."

Gates pledged that he and his son would help finance the sale. Local investors soon joined, and on Aug. 15, 1987, Schultz bought Starbucks for the original $3.8 million price. The company has since expanded from 11 stores to more than 38,000 worldwide, with more than 16,000 outlets in the United States alone, according to Cafely.
Why It Matters: Schultz, who has narrated the story at several fireside chats since, credits Gates Sr. for protecting a young entrepreneur at the time. Gates Sr., who died in 2020, remained an informal mentor while Starbucks defined modern coffee culture and inspired rival chains worldwide.
For Starbucks&#8217; stock, the 200-day moving average sits at $95.64, according to Benzinga Pro, which is above the current price of $92.28 at market close on Thursday.
TD Cowen analyst Andrew M. Charles recently kept a Hold on Starbucks and held his $90 price target, noting investors have begun rotating into the stock amid optimism that CEO Brian Niccol can <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45931482/starbucks-at-a-crossroads-analyst-sees-chipotle-like-potential-but-warns-of-declining-value-perception">replicate the turnaround</a> he engineered at Chipotle.

Bill Gates Sr. Helped Howard Schultz Buy Starbucks In 1987 By Towering Over A Rival Investor: 'This Kid Is Going To Realize His Dream'

How important is a job title? Some people work their way up the corporate ladder by earning higher-ranking titles, but one Redditor ended up with a peculiar opportunity.
The individual has been working toward a senior vice president title and finally got the opportunity at their current company. However, this individual also received a job offer from another company that doesn't have the fancy title. This second job offers <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/HENRYfinance/comments/1l9xf3b/career_advice_two_positions_approached_me/">much higher pay</a>, and the potential employer is an AI startup, which can result in plenty of growth opportunities.&nbsp;

</ul>
The Redditor asked if it made sense to accept the higher-paying job and walk away from the job with the better title.
"Is this a no brainer?" the Redditor asked the HENRY Finance community.
Here's what fellow Redditors suggested.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Follow The Money</h2>
Most Redditors encouraged the original poster to ignore the job title and focus on pay. The top commenter said that the work you do and the compensation matter the most. This commenter even went on to say that a title doesn't mean anything.
"This lesson was one that I wish someone had instilled in me many years ago," one person responded to the comment.
People climb the corporate ladder and pursue higher titles to boost their earnings. If you can work in your profession and earn more money with the same title than with the higher ranking title, you will grow your retirement account faster.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The AI Startup's Current Outlook Also Matters</h2>
Although the AI startup is offering more pay, it's important to assess the long-term stability of that job. Some startups come crashing down after a few years, while the Redditor's current employer is the one that's offering the better title and a salary bump.
One commenter suggested that the original poster assess the AI startup based on its funding stage, who the investors are, the founder's business history, and who their top clients are. This same commenter also suggested comparing the equity packages between the AI startup and the current company.&nbsp;
Knowing this information can help the original poster decide which opportunity makes more sense from a risk standpoint. While the AI startup offers higher pay, it may not matter if the company goes out of business within two years. However, if the equity package is good and the AI startup skyrockets in value, it can be an incredible opportunity for the original poster.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding Startup Culture</h2>
One commenter pointed out that startup culture can require a lot of hours that exceed what you'd put into a 9-to-5 job. The commenter is optimistic that the hours will be more reasonable since the job offers a high salary but shared a warning with the original poster.
"If you have kids, I cannot recommend working for a startup with a true startup culture," the commenter said.
A part of the comments section shifted from startup culture to the job title. Some people suggested that she negotiate a higher title in the startup. It's also possible for the Redditor to mention this offer to her employer and ask if they will give her a higher salary. Even if it's not a complete match, the Redditor can use negotiating tactics to get a better title at the startup or a higher salary from her current job.

A HENRY Redditor Asks If She Should Take A Job With Higher Pay Or A Better Title: 'Is This A No Brainer?'

Sword Health <a href="https://swordhealth.com/newsroom/sword-health-raises-40m-launches-mind">announced</a> Tuesday that it had raised $40 million in a recent funding round, giving it a $4 billion valuation.
<a href="https://swordhealth.com/faqs">Founded in 2015</a>, the healthcare startup has focused on helping people manage chronic pain at home. Using AI tools, the platform connects users with expert clinicians who then provide patients with tools for digital physical therapy, pelvic health, and overall mobility health.
However, the company says this new round of funding will largely go towards developing a mental health arm of its program called Mind.&nbsp;

"Today, nearly 1 billion people worldwide live with a mental health condition. Yet care remains fragmented, reactive, and inaccessible," Sword said in the&nbsp; announcement. "Mind redefines mental health care delivery with a proactive, 24/7 model that integrates cutting-edge AI with licensed, Ph.D-level mental health specialists. Together, they provide seamless, contextual, and responsive support any time people need it, not just when they have an appointment."
Sword CEO Virgílio Bento told <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/17/sword-health-raises-40-million-expands-into-mental-health-with-ai.html">CNBC</a>, "[Mind] really a breakthrough in terms of how we address mental health, and this is only possible because we have AI."
Users will be equipped with a wearable device called an M-band, which will measure their environmental and physiological signals so that experts can reach out proactively as needed. The program will also offer access to services like traditional talk therapy. Bento told CNBC that a human is "always involved" in patients care in each of its programs, and that AI is not making any clinical decisions.

For example, if a Sword patient has an anxiety attack, AI will identify it through the wearable and bring it to the attention of a clinician, who can then provide an appropriate care plan.
"You have an anxiety issue today, and the way you're going to manage is to talk about it one week from now? That just doesn't work," Bento told CNBC. "Mental health should be always on, where you have a problem now, and you can have immediate help in the moment."
According to Bento, Sword Mind already has a waiting list, and is being tested by some of its partners who appreciate it's "personalized approach and convenience."
"We believe that it is really the future of how mental health is going to be delivered in the future, by us and by other companies," he told CNBC. "AI plays a very important role, but the use of AI — and I think this is very important — needs to be used in a very smart way."
The rest of the cash raised in the funding round, which was led by General Catalyst, will go towards acquisitions, global expansion, and AI development, Sword Health says.&nbsp;

TTM 테크놀로지스 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTMI#NASDAQ">TTMI</a>):
이 기술 솔루션 회사는 주요 뉴스 보도가 없는 가운데 주간 독자들로부터 강한 관심을 받았다. 이 주식은 지난 1년 동안 급등하여 최근에 새로운 사상 최고가를 기록했다. 5월 9일, 회사는 향후 주당 순이익을 증가시킬 수 있는 1억 달러 규모의 자사주 매입을 발표했다. 회사는 1분기에 대한 주당 순이익(EPS)에 대한 애널리스트 추정치를 초과 달성하며 두 분기 연속으로 애널리스트 예측을 초과했다. 지난 8분기 중 7분기 동안 EPS에 대한 분석가 예상치를 뛰어넘었다. 이 기간 동안의 유일한 비초과는 일치한 수치였다. 회사는 또한 1분기 매출에 대한 애널리스트 예측을 초과 달성하며 다섯 분기 연속으로 애널리스트 예측을 초과했다. 주가는 지난 5일 동안 11% 이상 상승했다.

쉘 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>):
이 석유 및 가스 주식은 주간 독자들로부터 증가된 관심을 받았지만, 뉴스는 많지 않았다. 최근 몇 주간 섹터의 큰 뉴스는 OPEC이 7월에 생산량을 늘리기로 논의한 후 생산량을 변경하지 않기로 결정한 것이었다. 이 결정은 유가를 안정적으로 유지할 수 있다. 5월, 회사는 주당 순이익이 애널리스트 추정치를 초과하고 매출이 추정치를 밑도는 분기 실적을 발표했다. 5월에 이 회사는 또한 나이지리아 탐사 부문과 토탈에너지의 나이지리아 부문 간의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/25/05/45664619/shell-boosts-nigerian-deepwater-assets-with-totalenergies-stake-purchase" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">거래를 발표</a>했는데, 이 거래로 쉘의 총 소유권은 55%에서 67.5%로 증가했다. 이 계약은 쉘이 연간 총 생산을 늘리려고 하는 가운데 이루어졌다.

스포티파이 테크놀로지 (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>):
이 음악 스트리밍 회사는 애널리스트의 업그레이드와 노트 덕분에 주가가 사상 최고치를 기록했다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45750281/spotify-stock-smashes-records-goldman-sees-200-billion-music-streaming-market-by-2035">골드만삭스의 보고서</a>에 따르면, 글로벌 음악 시장은 향후 10년 안에 두 배로 성장할 수 있으며 스포티파이가 잠재적인 수혜자가 될 것이라고 한다. 이 보고서는 2035년까지 음악 스트리밍의 글로벌 유료 가입자는 15.1억 명에 이를 것이며, 이 중 75%의 성장은 신흥 시장에서 발생할 것이라고 예측하고 있다. 스포티파이는 2024년 글로벌 유료 음악 스트리밍 시장에서 35%의 점유율을 차지하며 2억 6,300만 명의 가입자를 보유하고 있다. 골드만삭스는 스포티파이가 팬 프로모션과 콘서트 티켓 판매를 통해 사용자 기반을 추가로 수익화할 수 있다고 말했다.

액손 엔터프라이즈 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXON#NASDAQ">AXON</a>):
클라우드 기반 디지털 증거 회사이자 TASER 장치의 소유자인 이 회사는 최근 새로운 사상 최고치를 기록했다. 주가는 주간 독자들로부터 증가된 관심을 받았다. 이 관심은 아마도 뱅크 오브 아메리카의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AXON/analyst-ratings">애널리스트 노트</a>에서 매수 등급이 유지되며 목표 주가가 $750에서 $895로 상향 조정된 데서 비롯된 것일 것이다. 액손 엔터프라이즈에 대한 관심은 회사가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45271559/axon-enterprise-stock-pops-on-q1-earnings-key-details">1분기 매출과 주당 순이익에 대한 애널리스트 추정치를 초과 달성한</a> 이후에 발생했다. 회사는 또한 1분기 초과 달성 후 연간 매출 가이던스를 상향 조정했다. 액손은 이전에 3월에 스톡 위스퍼 지수에 있었으며 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44333602/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">주가가 180% 이상 상승한</a> 최고의 성과를 보인 주식이다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">새로운 소식</h2>
라이젠(Raizen)은 쉘(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>)과 코산(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSAN#NYSE">CSAN</a>) 간의 브라질 합작 회사로, JP모건을 통해 아르헨티나 석유 정유소와 주유소 네트워크 매각을 추진하고 있다. 블룸버그는 최근 CEO 넬슨 고메스(Nelson Gomes)의 애널리스트와의 실적 발표 전화에서의 발언을 인용하여, 이 회사가 &#8220;심층적인&#8221; 포트폴리오 개편을 진행 중이라고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-06/raizen-is-said-to-hire-jpmorgan-for-argentina-energy-assets-sale?srnd=phx-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록의 업데이트</h2>
월그린스 부츠 얼라이언스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBA#NASDAQ">WBA</a>)가 시카모어 파트너스(Sycamore Partners)와의 100억 달러 규모의 거래로 민간 부문으로 진출할 가능성이 커졌다. 이 거래는 월그린스 이사회에서 승인되었으며, 주주들에게 주당 11.45달러의 현금을 제공한다. 퓨처 펀드(The Future Fund LLC)의 게리 블랙이 소셜 미디어에서 &#8220;이 회사는 공개 기업이 되어서는 안 된다고 이전에 이야기한 적이 있다&#8221;고 전했다. 그리고 누가 모든 것을 조종하고 있나? 16.9% 지분을 보유하고 있는 스테파노 페시나(Stefano Pessina) 집행 회장이 이 약국 제국을 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44185847/gary-black-says-walgreens-is-a-company-that-shouldnt-be-public-cites-largest-shareholders-role-in-10-billion-sycamore-deal">공개 시선에서 벗어나게 할</a> 때가 되었다고 명확히 결정했다.
대통령 도널드 트럼프는 미국 국부 펀드가 틱톡의 미국 사업을 인수하기를 원한다. 이는 마치 대출로 허덕이는 대학생에게 개인 제트기를 사라고 제안하는 것과 같다. 미국의 부채는 천문학적이며 트럼프 행정부는 (그들이 말하는) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44143475/trumps-u-s-doge-service-claims-65b-in-savings-experts-call-it-smoke-and-mirrors-amid-resignations">이를 줄이는 데 집중</a>하고 있다. 그러나 <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/wealth/dealmaker-michael-grimes-expected-lead-new-us-sovereign-wealth-fund-sources-say-2025-03-05/?utm_source=newsletter&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosprorata&amp;stream=top">로이터</a>는 우버 IPO와 트위터 인수를 주도한 경험이 있는 인물인 모건 스탠리의 마이클 그라임스(Michael Grimes)가 미국을 위한 국부 펀드의 설계를 감독하고 있다고 보도했다. 하지만 틱톡의 4월 5일 마감일이 다가오고 있어 시간은 촉박하다. 똑딱똑딱. 말장난 의도.
물론 그때까지 거래가 체결될 수 있지만, 하루하루가 지날수록 이것은 마치 헤일 메리(Hail Mary) 패스처럼 느껴진다. 이번에는 미식축구공을 잡는 대신, 미국이 립싱크와 트렌드를 선도하는 이 소셜 미디어 거인을 잡기를 바라고 있다.
한편, 온세미(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>)가 알레그로 마이크로시스템즈(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALGM#NASDAQ">ALGM</a>)에 대한 인수 제안을 주당 35.10달러로 인상해 69억 달러 규모의 거래로 평가되었다. 이는 9월 2일 제출된 초기 제안인 주당 34.50달러보다 증가한 금액이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록에서의 거래 중단</h2>
아메리칸 익스프레스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>)가 벨뷰(Bellevue), 워싱턴에 본사를 둔 센터(Center)를 인수하기로 합의했다고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-06/american-express-to-acquire-expense-management-company-center?srnd=phx-deals" target="_blank" rel="noopener">블룸버그</a>가 보도했다. 센터는 듀러블 캐피털 파트너스, 탑 티어 캐피털 파트너스 및 망고 캐피털이 지원하는 소프트웨어 제공업체이다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">파산 블록</h2>
카누(Canoo)는 전기차 스타트업으로, 제대로 출발하지 못한 상황에서 CEO의 도움으로 재부팅되고 있다. 토니 아퀼라(Anthony Aquila)가 카누의 거의 모든 자산을 파산에서 400만 달러 현금으로 인수한다고 <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/05/canoos-ceo-is-buying-the-bankrupt-ev-startups-assets/">테크크런치</a>가 보도했다. 이 매각은 카누가 금융회사에 빚진 1,100만 달러의 부채를 없앨 것으로 예상된다&#8230; 편리하게도 아퀼라 자신이 운영하는 회사이다. 카누는 불과 6주 전 챕터 7 청산을 신청했다. NASA와 국방부와의 정부 계약은 별다른 성과를 내지 못했다. 이 스타트업은 약 1억 4,500만 달러의 자산이 있지만 1억 7,500만 달러의 부채가 있다. 이제 다른 구매자들도 3월 28일 이전에 경합에 참여할 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">블록에서의 소식</h2>
트럼프의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates">백악관 복귀</a>와 함께 예상되었던 M&amp;A 거래의 물결은 이렇게 끝나간다.
그들은 <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44045159/trumps-plan-to-rein-in-regulators-could-erode-market-trust-says-2-3-trillion-asset-manager">규제 완화</a>와 더 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44197558/whats-moving-markets-friday">활기찬 주식 시장</a>을 기대했다. 지금까지 두 가지 시나리오 모두 실현되지 않았다. 딜로직에 따르면, 미국 기반 M&amp;A 거래량은 2024년 같은 시기와 비교해 약 29% 감소했다.
연방 거래 위원회(FTC)의 최근 조치를 고려해보자. 트럼프 임명자가 수장인 이 기관은 사모펀드가 서모딕스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRDX#NASDAQ">SRDX</a>)를 인수하려는 계획에 제동을 걸고 있다. 이 회사는 약물 전달 및 체외(vitro) 진단 기술을 전문으로 한다.
인수자는 GTCR로, 이미 바이오코트(Biocoat)라는 서모딕스의 경쟁사를 보유하고 있다. 두 회사를 모두 소유하게 되면 50% 이상의 시장 지배력을 갖게 되어 경쟁을 억압할 수 있다. 기술 비용이 소비자에게 실제로 부담이 될 것이다. 새로운 경쟁자가 바이오코트와 서모딕스의 콤비에 도전할 가능성이 낮기 때문에 FTC는 이 문제를 일리노이 북부 지방법원에 회부했다.
트럼프 행정부가 이 합병을 간과하지 않는다는 사실에 놀란 분들을 위해 그의 첫 임기에는 법무부가 AT&amp;T와 타임 워너 간의 거래, 싱클레어(Sinclair)와 트리뷴 미디어(Tribune Media) 간의 거래, 브로드컴과 퀄컴 간의 거래, 드래프트킹스와 팬듀얼 간의 거래를 차단한 바 있다.

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy-sector" target="_blank" rel="noopener">미국 에너지 부문</a>은 유가가 치솟고 시장이 도널드 트럼프 정부 하에서 규제 완화 전환을 예상하면서, 2025년을 강력하게 시작해 다른 부문을 능가했다.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">주요 석유 회사</a>인 엑손모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), 쉐브론(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), 쉘(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>)은 한때 적은 자산으로 초고속 성장하는 거대 기술 기업들과 대척점에 있었지만, 이제는 거대 기술 기업을 대상으로 가치를 창출하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다.
셰브론, GE 버노바(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEV#NYSE">GEV</a>), 엔진넘버원(Engine No.1)은 2027년까지 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43308041/chevron-ge-vernova-engine-no-1-bet-big-on-ai-power-but-is-it-too-late" target="_blank" rel="noopener">인공지능(AI) 데이터센터</a>를 가동하기 위해 합작 투자를 시작했다. 그리고 엑손모빌은 탄소 포집 사업을 통해 저탄소 전력을 제공하는 데 주력할 것이다. 쉘은 태양 에너지와 배터리 저장 시설, 그리고 로드아일랜드에 있는 천연가스 공장을 활용하고자 한다.
블룸버그 통신에 따르면, 석유 대기업 3사의 4분기 수익은 화석 연료 공급이 수요를 초과하는 상황에 직면해 마진이 타격을 입었고, 이로 인해 공격적인 AI 데이터 센터에 대한 야심 찬 계획을 추진 중인 거대 기술 기업에 의존하게 되었다고 한다.
그러나 중국 딥시크의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43390988/deepseek-and-nvidia-under-us-investigation-ai-market-shakeup-wipes-out-1-trillion-in-tech-value" target="_blank" rel="noopener">저렴한 저전력</a> AI 모델의 등장으로 마이크로소프트(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)가 지원하는 오픈AI가 다른 빅테크 기업과 경쟁하도록 했고, 잠재적으로 데이터센터의 필요성을 줄임으로써 석유 회사들에게 실망감을 안겨주기도 했다. 석유 회사들은 천연가스 발전에 대한 수요 증가에 베팅하고 있다.
이들 석유 대기업은 유가 수요의 정점을 앞두고 투자자들을 유인하기 위해 자사주매입과 배당금을 지급했으나 주주 수익 전략은 한계에 도달했다.
엑손모빌은 2024년 배당금과 자사주 매입에 360억 달러에 달하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43389620/exxon-mobil-q4-earnings-mixed-results-but-ceo-promises-profitable-growth-well-into-the-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener">잉여현금흐름</a> 전체를 지출했지만, 여전히 S&amp;P 500 지수 평균 대비 46% 할인된 가격에 거래되고 있다.
엑손은 2026년까지 연간 200억 달러 규모의 자사주매입 프로그램을 확대할 계획이고, 쉐브론은 올해 주주들에게 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43382627/chevron-falls-as-q4-profits-decline-amid-lower-oil-output-dividend-hike-offers-silver-lining" target="_blank" rel="noopener">270억 달러</a>의 현금을 돌려 주었다.
미국은 현재 세계 최대의 석유 생산국이지만 에너지 관련 주식은 S&amp;P 500 지수에서 3.2%에 불과다. 거대 석유 기업의 할인된 평가액 중 일부는 수익을 내지 못한 높은 자본 지출 때문이다.
에너지 전환으로 인해 시장은 배당금과 자사주 매입의 지속 가능성에 대해 불안해하고 있다. 원자재 가격 변동의 변동성도 현금 보유량이 많은 빅테크에 비해 화석연료의 가치를 떨어뜨렸다.
골드만삭스의 단 스트루이벤(Daan Struyven)은 도널드 트럼프의 캐나다에 대한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/24/11/42212364/trumps-tariff-threat-to-canada-may-disrupt-oil-markets-inflate-prices-would-likely-raise-the-price-of-fuels-says-analyst" target="_blank" rel="noopener">25% 관세</a>가 미국의 연료 가격을 상승시키고 인플레이션을 유발할 것으로 예상한다. 운송 비용의 상승은 석유 유통 회사의 이익에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
스트루이벤은 최근 미국이 러시아, 이란, 베네수엘라의 석유 공급을 더욱 제한할 경우 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43036184/us-energy-sector-enjoys-strong-start-to-2025-analysts-eye-constructive-setup-for-chevron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">유가가 배랄덩 90달러</a>에 이를 것으로 예상한다고 말했다.

주가 움직임: 월요일(3일) 엑손모빌은 0.24% 상승, 쉐브론은 0.10% 상승했고 쉘 주가는 1.89% 하락 마감했다.

국제에너지기구(IEA)는 2025년 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">세계 석유 수요</a> 전망을 소폭 수정해 <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-december-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">이전에 예상했던</a> 일일 110만 배럴에서 105만 배럴로 감소할 것으로 전망했다. 새로운 전망은 경제 상황 개선과 <a href="https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-january-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">연료 가격 하락</a>을 반영하면서 전 세계 수요를 일평균 1억 4천만 배럴로 예상한다.
2024년 4분기에는 석유 수요가 강하게 반등했다. 일일 150만 배럴이 증가하며 2023년 말 이후 가장 높은 성장률을 기록했다.
IEA는 이러한 급증을 연료 가격 하락, 북부 지역의 추운 날씨, 미국의 석유 화학 활동 증가 때문이라고 설명했다. 그러나 2025년 석유 수요 증가율은 2024년을 넘어 설 가능성이 있지만 2023년의 일일 2백만 배럴 이상의 증가율에는 미치지 못할 것이다.
한편, 석유수출국기구(OPEC)는 2025년에 <a href="https://momr.opec.org/pdf-download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">일일 145만 배럴의</a> 더 높은 수요 증가를 예상하고 있다.
중국, 인도, 아프리카 국가를 포함한 주요 아시아 시장의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/24/11/41899890/opec-cuts-2024-oil-demand-forecast-for-fourth-straight-month-amid-chinas-economic-slowdown" target="_blank" rel="noopener">부진한 데이터로</a> 인해 OPEC은 2024년 석유 수요 증가 전망을 여러 차례 수정했다. 그럼에도 불구하고 OPEC 전망치는 월가 은행이나 사우디 아람코의 전망치보다 더 낙관적으로 보였다.
중국은 11월에 휘발유 소비 증가와 거의 3년 만에 최저치를 기록한 디젤 가격 하락에 힘입어 석유 수요가 크게 증가했다.
IEA는 중국 부동산 시장의 안정화 조짐이 석유 수요의 추가 회복을 뒷받침할 수 있다고 강조했다. 월스트리트저널은 중국이 2025년에 석유 소비량을 하루 22만 배럴 늘릴 것으로 예상하는데, 이는 2024년의 하루 18만 배럴 증가에 비해 크게 증가한 수치라고 <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/energy-oil/iea-trims-oil-demand-outlook-but-still-expects-stronger-growth-this-year-a972c71b?mod=business_lead_pos4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도했다</a>.
최근 러시아의 에너지 부문과 해운 네트워크를 겨냥한 미국의 제재와 이란의 그림자 함대를 겨냥한 조치는 전 세계 석유 공급에 차질을 빚을 수 있다. 이러한 조치는 중국과 인도와 같은 주요 구매자가 대체 공급원을 찾도록 강요할 수 있다.
월스트리트저널은 브렌트유 가격은 배럴당 80달러, 미국 서부 텍사스산 중질유(WTI유)는 배럴당 77달러에 거래되며 공급 부족에 대한 시장의 우려를 반영하고 있다고 보도했다.
지정학적 압력에도 불구하고 2024년 12월 세계 석유 공급은 나이지리아와 리비아의 생산량 증가에 힘입어 소폭 증가했다. IEA는 2025년에 미국, 브라질, 캐나다 등 비OPEC+ 국가들이 주도하여 매일 180만 배럴의 공급 증가를 예상하고 있다. 그러나 제재나 기상 관련 장애로 인해 기존 석유 재고가 급격히 줄어들 수 있다고 경고했다.
주목할 만한 석유 주식으로는 엑손모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), 쉐브론(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVX#NYSE">CVX</a>), 쉘(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>), 토탈에너지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>), 페트로브라스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBR#NYSE">PBR</a>), BP(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>)가 있다.

2025년 석유 수요 전망: OPEC의 낙관론 vs. IEA의 보수적 예측

우크라이나가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/01/42769181/natural-gas-prices-surge-as-arctic-blast-freezes-us-3-stocks-on-the-move" target="_blank" rel="noopener">운송 계약</a> 갱신을 거부한 후 수요일 구 소련 시대의 우크라이나 파이프라인을 통한 러시아 가스 수출이 중단된 것으로 알려졌다.
상세 내용: 러시아 가스 회사인 가스프롬(Gazprom)은 가스 흐름이 GMT 기준 0500시에 중단되었다고 밝혔다. 이는 우크라이나가 운송 계약을 갱신하기를 거부한 것으로, 널리 예상된 조치였다.
로이터 통신에 따르면 우크라이나 대통령 볼로디미르 젤렌스키는 텔레그램에 러시아 천연가스의 우크라이나 통과 중단이 &#8220;모스크바의 가장 큰 패배 중 하나&#8221;라고 썼다.
젤렌스키는 동맹국들이 유럽에 더 많은 가스를 공급하여 러시아 공급 중단으로 인한 공백을 메워줄 것을 촉구했다. &#8220;유럽의 진정한 파트너들로부터 시장에 더 많은 가스가 공급될수록, 우리는 러시아에 대한 유럽 에너지 의존의 마지막 부정적인 결과를 더 빨리 극복할 수 있을 것이다&#8221;라고 그가 적었다.

2025년 유럽으로의 액화천연가스(LNG 수출이 증가할 것으로 예상됨에 따라 데본 에너지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DVN#NYSE">DVN</a>) 및 셰니에르 에너지(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNG#NYSE">LNG</a>)를 포함한 미국 기반 액화천연가스 수출업체의 주가는 목요일 상승했다.
&#8220;셰니에르의 LNG는 우크라이나 전쟁에 대한 유럽의 대응에서 중요한 역할을 했으며, 공급의 안전성, 즉 생산의 신뢰성과 배송의 유연성이 현재와 향후 수십 년 동안 얼마나 중요한지를 보여주었다&#8221;고 코리 그린달(Corey Grindal), 셰니에르 에너지의 COO가 2023년 <a href="https://www.lng2023.org/news/cheniere-key-contributor-european-energy-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener">인터뷰</a>에서 말했다.
그린달은 &#8220;셰니에르가 2022년 전 세계 LNG의 약 11%를 생산했으며, 셰니에르의 LNG의 70% 이상이 유럽으로 수출되었다.&#8221;고 덧붙였다.
유럽연합 집행위원회는 성명을 발표하여 EU가 러시아 가스 흐름 중단을 예상하고 준비했다고 밝혔다.
&#8220;유럽 가스 인프라는 비러시아 원천의 가스를 제공할 만큼 유연하다&#8221;고 위원회 대변인이 말했다. &#8220;2022년 이후로 상당한 새로운 LNG 수입 용량이 강화되었다.&#8221;
로이터에 따르면 헝가리는 투르크스트림(TurkStream) 파이프라인을 통해 계속 러시아 가스를 받을 것이며, 러시아 가스의 마지막 남은 유럽 구매국인 슬로바키아와 오스트리아는 다른 공급을 마련했다.
슬로바키아 정부는 화요일에 가스 부족 위험이 없다고 발표했으며, 국영 가스 회사인 SPP는 BP PLC(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BP#NYSE">BP</a>), 엑손모빌(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>), 쉘 PLC(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) 등 대형 국제 공급업체들과 가스 공급 계약을 체결했다고 밝혔다.
투자자들은 SPDR Select Energy Sector Fund(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>)를 통해 더 넓은 에너지 부문을 모니터링할 수 있다. 이 펀드는 원유와 천연가스를 주로 개발하고 생산하는 22개 회사들로 구성된 S&amp;P 에너지 선택 섹터 지수를 추적한다.

다윈 파이낸셜 컴퍼니(Darwin Financial Company)의 공동 설립자 조슈아 로빈슨(Joshua Robinson)은 INYOAG LLC와의 5,500만 달러 자금 조달 거래를 발표했다. 이 자금은 캘리포니아 이노 카운티에 있는 태양열 발전 광산 개발에 사용될 예정이며, 해당 지역에는 은, 납, 아연, 텅스텐 및 구리 매장량이 확인되어 있다. 로빈슨과의 대화 내용은 다음과 같다:
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">BZ: 다윈 금융과 기초 금속 광산업체 INYOAG 간의 거래 구조는 어떻게 되나요? </h4>
로빈슨: 이번 거래 구조는 5,500만 달러 프로젝트 자금 조달 패키지로, 세 가지 구성 요소로 나누어진다: 황화물 및 산화물 생산에 각각 1,750만 달러 및 1,250만 달러의 6년 만기 채권, 그리고 광산이 월 1,000만 달러의 매출을 달성할 경우에만 발동되는 2,000만 달러의 조건부 주식 투자이다. 우리는 두 생산 트랙에서 총 매출의 17%를 확보하며, 이는 안전한 록박스 방식으로 구조화된다. 이것은 단순한 주식 투자가 아니며, 우리는 추가적인 상승 가능성을 제공하기 위해 특별히 이렇게 설계했다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">추가 투자자/합작 투자 파트너를 찾고 있나요? </h4>
네, 우리는 이것을 여러 층의 상승 가능성을 창출하기 위해 고의적으로 구조화했다. 이는 광산 분야에서 꽤 독특한 접근 방식이다. 우리는 생산에서의 단기 현금 흐름과 상당한 확장 가능성을 제공하는 하이브리드 모델을 만들었다. 우리는 이미 기존 광산 업체들로부터 관심을 받고 있지만, 특히 중요한 광물의 전략적 가치를 이해하는 새로운 투자자들을 이 분야에 끌어들이는 것에 대해 기대하고 있다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">중요 광물의 외국 공급원에 의존하는 것의 단점은 무엇인가요? </h4>
중국의 최근 움직임은 여기서 긴급성을 강조한다. 중국은 이미 게르마늄과 갈륨에 대한 수출 통제를 시행했고, 최근 안티모니도 목록에 추가했다. 이는 더 이상 이론적인 문제가 아니라, 실제로 발생하고 있다. 우리는 방산 및 기술에 필수적인 이러한 광물에 대해 공급망의 지역적 회복력을 구축해야 한다. 다윈 광산은 단일 자산에서 여러 중요한 광물의 국내 공급원을 구축할 수 있는 독특한 기회를 제공한다. 이는 찾기 어려운 일이다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">광산은 태양열로 운영되나요? </h4>
100MW 시설은 광산만을 전력 공급하는 것이 아니라, 우리가 생산하는 광물로 발전소 규모의 에너지 저장 시스템을 개발할 수 있는 충분한 청정 에너지를 생성할 것이다. 이는 우리의 광산 운영이 청정 에너지 배치를 직접 지원하는 선순환을 만든다.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">2025년 목표는 무엇인가요? </h4>
2025년의 주요 목표는 자금 지원 후 6개월 이내에 황화물 생산을 하루 300톤으로, 9개월 이내에 산화물 생산을 하루 200톤으로 끌어올리는 것이다. 이는 월 1,000만 달러의 매출을 달성하게 되며, 그 후 심화된 광산 개발 프로그램이 발동다.

월스트리트는 공화당이 의회를 장악하고 규제를 완화함에 따라 M&amp;A가 급증할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 분석가들은 리나 칸(Lina Khan) 연방거래위원회(FTC) 위원장의 해임으로 인해 독점 금지 조사가 쉬워질 것으로 예상하고 있다. 뱅크 오브 아메리카는 도널드 트럼프 대통령 당선자와 같은 공화당 행정부가 역사적으로 민주당 행정부에 비해 금융 부문 M&amp;A 활동을 50% 이상 육성했다는 점을 강조한다.
뱅크 오브 아메리카는 또한 금리 인하가 발효되고 경제 상황이 안정화됨에 따라 2025년은 M&amp;A에 있어 더 좋은 해가 될 수 있다고 예측한다. 다음은 은행이 수집한 5가지 잠재적 목표 목록이다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">전체 목록</a>을 보려면 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">여기를 클릭</a>하세요.
