A 9-year-old known online as MightyMikePLays67 racked up $118,000 in YouTube ad charges on his father's company credit card while promoting his Minecraft channel. His father Dave lost his job as a result and must repay the bill within 30 days, prompting the family to consider selling their home.
Howard Buffett, son of Warren Buffett, is reportedly assuming a more active part in preserving the values and structure his father established at Berkshire Hathaway. The move comes as attention also turns to María Corina Machado's plans to return to Venezuela and Apple's latest iPhone and watch releases.
Warren Buffett, 96, announced in a shareholder letter that he is immediately stepping down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway's board, taking on the title of chairman emeritus while remaining a director. His son Howard Buffett, a 33-year board member, will become the new chairman, working alongside CEO Greg Abel, who took over operations earlier this year.
A man identified as Dave says his 9-year-old son unknowingly spent $118,000 on YouTube ad campaigns promoting his Minecraft and Roblox gameplay videos over roughly three weeks. The charges went through a company credit card Dave had saved to a Google account shared with his son, after he had shown the boy how to run a small $20 promotion. Some of the promoted videos gained hundreds of thousands of views before finance staff flagged the spending.
A grieving son used his father's letters, journals and audio recordings to train an AI chatbot that mimics his father's voice and personality. The project lets him have simulated conversations with a digital recreation of his deceased parent, raising broader questions about how AI could reshape mourning and memory.
After his daughter Lucy suffered a brain hemorrhage that left her blind, billionaire Bill Ackman used his connections to secure her advanced care at Mount Sinai and pursue an experimental treatment. In May, the FDA granted her medical team first-time emergency authorization to transplant mitochondria from her leg muscle into her eyes in an attempt to repair her optic nerves. Ackman has since pledged over $400 million to establish an institute focused on longevity and brain health research.
