Manufactured between 1962 and 1964, the Ferrari 250 GTO is and considered by some car and design enthusiasts to be the most beautiful car ever created. And because there are only 36 250 GTOs left in the world today, they tend to command nose-bleed level prices on the rare occasions they go up for auction. Here’s a Ferrari 250 GTO photographed at the 1995 Concours automobile de Bagatelle in Paris: If you were smart enough to buy a 250 GTO fresh off the factory line in 1964, it would have cost you $18,500....

The names at the top aren’t really much of a surprise; after all, they’re teams rich with history, who have a number of easily recognizable athletes donning their uniforms. But who gets to claim the coveted top spot? Which franchise is the most valuable in the entire world? #10: Los Angeles Dodgers – $2.4 billion Despite having two pitchers that were in the running for the Cy Young–Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw–the Dodgers once again underachieved in the postseason, losing in the divisional round....
Trump has spent the last month trying to get an insurance company, or basically anyone with deep pockets, to front the money on his behalf using his various real estate assets as collateral. So far, these efforts have been unsuccessful. If Donald does not come up with $464 million by Monday, presumably by the end of day, the NY Attorney General can immediately begin to seize his properties to satisfy the judgment....
You’re probably assuming that Glasenberg can afford to lose even such a staggering amount as $500 million, and in the strictest terms, sure, you’d be more or less correct. But even for a billionaire, this was a significant blow to his finances, draining half a billion dollars from a personal fortune estimated to be around $1.9 billion. Even if you round that up to $2 billion, this is an even quarter of his personal net worth lost in a single day – you can imagine how you’d feel if you lost 25% of your personal net worth after one day, and you might have a rough approximation of what Glasenberg is going through....

Despite that terrific run, NFL scouts are understandably skeptical of Cardale’s potential. After all, three games is a very small sample size to judge a player’s long term talents. But at the same time, there are a number of NFL teams that desperately need fresh talent in the QB position. And desperate times call for desperate measures. In the sports world “desperate measures” means MONEY. So should Cardale Jones strike while the iron is hot and enter the draft?...

NFTs, TikTok, SPACs, the metaverse… those four alone could constitute a new Mount Rushmore of extremely dumb things that have vomited themselves into the mainstream in the last year or two. But there’s stupidity all around, every day, as you may have noticed. Allow me to illustrate my point using two tweets that were sent within minutes of each other on Wednesday morning. The first tweet was sent by Bill Gates, a man who was the undisputed richest person on the planet for roughly 20 years straight between 1997 and 2017, before being overtaken by Jeff Bezos....
Structures: Or Why Things Don’t Fall Down by J.E. Gordon Not everyone has their brain properly wired to grasp advanced astrophysics or engineering, but Musk has called Structures a “good primer on structural design,” and many of the technological principles that drive Musk’s ambitious SpaceX company can be found in this book. Benjamin Franklin: An American Life by Walter Isaacson Just as it’s easy to see the connection between Structures’ subject matter and Musk’s chosen field, the parallels between Musk and his “hero” Ben Franklin aren’t hard to grasp....
