The trip, the first made to the moon since the last Apollo mission in 1972, will be made on one of SpaceX’s Big Falcon Rockets, which the company is said to be currently developing in the hopes that they will eventually take passengers not just to and from the orbit of the moon but to Mars as well. Maezawa says it’s a trip he’s been wanting to take for a very long time: “Ever since I was a kid, I have loved the moon.

In December, Kudan made its debut on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. It was an explosive debut with the stock rising more than six fold to its thus far all time high by the end of February. That made Ohno’s fortune about $800 million. The stock has lost some in recent months, but the current price values of Kudan is at about $1.3 billion. Ohno owns more than half the shares, giving him a net worth of $700 million.
A decade ago, Jessica’s fashion empire began with a simple shoe line. Today the empire includes hats, bags, clothing, and fragrances. Simpson and her mom approve every single last item that will bear Jessica’s name. It is a dizzying amount of product that sells more than $1 billion annually. To put that in perspective, that means Jessica Simpson is selling more product than Michael Kors. Along the way, Jessica has managed to stash away a personal net worth of $200 million, the bulk of which comes from her fashion business, not from singing and acting.
Casa Encantada currently belongs to financier Gary Winnick, and has in fact set the record for most expensive residential property in the country on two separate previous occasions – and if it sells anywhere close to its asking price, it will easily beat the current holder of that record: the mansion formerly known as Spelling Manor in Holmby Hills, which sold for almost $120 million earlier this year. That may not happen though, since the market for luxury real estate is currently in the midst of some declining trend lines, with prices in this area of the market down significantly from a year ago.
“I have three things that I’ve discovered are really important, and they are not the usual things that people say.” The first of these traits is also probably the least expected: Ignorance. Of course, all ignorance isn’t created equal. Frank says that the most successful among us tend to be specifically ignorant of the problems inherent in their chosen fields. It’s like the old adage about how people can’t fly just because they’re convinced it’s impossible.

Procrastination The second richest man in the world had a big problem with procrastination. When Bill Gates was young he was someone who put things off until the last moment. This was especially true during the two years he spent as an undergraduate at Harvard. He was the guy who didn’t do anything until the last minute. When Gates entered the business world, he had a big wake up call.
Despite the value of the gems exceeding $1 billion according to the local press (the museum itself declined to name a figure), Saxony’s state Finance Ministry told the press that they weren’t insured due to the potential damages being less than the premiums on such an insurance policy, Bloomberg reports. The result is that local authorities are under that much more pressure to find the culprits and return the stolen gems to the museum.
Located in Southampton, Jule Pond’s recent $30 million price chop means that it is no longer the most expensive home listing in the Hamptons, which was a position it held at the $175 million price point. It first went up for sale back in August of 2017, so far without success, despite being a very impressive piece of property. How impressive? Enough for its original owner, none other than Henry Ford, for whom it was originally built, per Business Insider.
Tim Witherspoon first came to public attention when he was spotted with Kelly Rowland, popular solo music artist, and former member of the successful girl group, Destiny’s Child. He is not to be confused with the heavyweight boxer who shares the same name. In 2009, Tim became Kelly’s manager, after she left her former manager, Beyonce Knowles’ father, who had managed her career since the early years of Destiny’s Child.
Turns out all they needed to do was take back an equally expensive contract in return. The Thunder will send Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockets for Chris Paul. Both players made $35.6 million this year; Paul will earn $38.5 million and Westbrook about $38.2 million next season. The Rockets are also shipping two protected first-round picks (in 2024 and 2026, protected Nos. 1-4) and two pick swaps in 2021 and 2025.
Some friends told him about Warren Buffett, who was not well known back then. Horejsi bought 40 shares of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. for $265 each, with money from Brown Welding Supply. Two weeks later he bought another 60 shares at $295. A month after that he bought 200 more at $330 a share. He built his Berkshire stake to 5,800 Class A shares and held onto them until 1998 when shares in Berkshire Hathaway reached an all-time high of $78,000.
It will likely go down as the worst business decision in history, especially when you consider the fact that his 10% stake would be worth $80 billion today. Even if Ronald had sold off 90% of his stake by now, his remaining 1% would still be worth $8 billion. And that’s not even counting the hundreds of millions of dollars he would have earned from dividends and from the sale of his other shares over the years.
50 bought the house back in 2003, snagging it from none other than boxer Mike Tyson for $4.1 million. At that price, it set a local record for home sales in the area, but in 2007 when he put it back on the market he asked for $18.5 million. Since then, the price has been reduced several times (and at one point, there were plans to turn it into a retirement home), before finally finding the $2.
Soon, Allen was finding ways to sneak into computer labs and logging in as an administrator. Allen even passed himself off as a graduate student at the University of Washington, so he could get in some extra programming time. Eventually, he was caught and banned from the lab. Allen and Gates pressed on however. Their big break came when they saw an article about the Altair 8000 in Popular Electronics Magazine.
