Luxury second homes in New York will have to be taxed at a “significant” amount to generate the $500 million of revenue the city is counting on to help close a gaping budget hole, according to a new study from New York City Comptroller Mark Levine’s office. Should the new charge be structured similarly to previous proposals, the tax would yield between $340 million and $380 million in revenue, Levine’s office found. “While the final bracket and rate schedules will differ,” from the ones used to generate the comptroller’s analysis, “the tax increases needed to generate $500 million in revenues appear significant.” The proposal to tax pricey second homes was unveiled by Governor Kathy Hochul earlier this month and promised to deliver about half-a-billion dollars each year to New York City. Hochul said the tax rates would likely be crafted deliberately in order to yield the expected revenue. Those funds are crucial to closing the city’s current $5.4 billion two-year budget deficit, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said. Read More: NYC’s Second-Home Tax Unites Mamdani, Hochul After Budget Fights Dora Pekec, a spokesperson for Mamdani, disputed the comptroller’s potential revenue estimate. “Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul have been clear that this pied-à-terre tax will generate $500 million in revenue annually to help close the city’s inherited budget gap,” she said. “The comptroller’s report makes one thing very clear: thoughtfully crafting and implementing this legislation will do exactly that.” Levine’s report is the most detailed analysis yet of the number of potential properties that could be subject to a second-home tax, although the structure is still under debate as part of the state budget negotiations. Impacted Properties The analysis looked at New York City properties that have assessed values larger than $300,000 and market values of at least $5 million to determine a universe of possible homes that would be subject to the fee. That amounted to 19,000 or roughly 1.5% o...

Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook aren’t planning a bid for the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks. Reports surfaced Thursday linking the two tech titans to the National Football League team, which is currently up for sale and expected to fetch a price that could surpass $10 billion. But Zuckerberg, Meta Platform Inc.’s chief executive officer, and Apple Inc. CEO Cook aren’t interested in buying the football team, which won the league championship in February’s Super Bowl. “Glad we could intercept the rumors on this one: Mark is not making any investment or bid for the Seattle Seahawks,” a Meta spokesperson said. Separately, a person familiar with Cook also denied he was making a bid for the team. In September, Cook is leaving his post after 15 years leading Apple. The Seahawks’ sale is expected to be the largest ever deal for an NFL franchise. The team is currently owned by the estate of the late Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen , who died in 2018. His sister Jody Allen has been running the team as the executor of the estate, and is overseeing the selling of his assets to raise money for charity.

watch now VIDEO 24:49 24:49 Inside Wealth: Thiel Capital Managing Director Jack Selby on investment opportunities Inside Wealth A potential pullback by Middle East sovereign wealth funds could drain hundreds of billions of dollars from the artificial intelligence boom and threaten key data center projects, according to tech investor Jack Selby. Middle East investors — including sovereign wealth funds and government entities — account for roughly a quarter of global investments committed to AI over the next five years, said Selby, managing director of Peter Thiel's family office, Thiel Capital. If the war in Iran drags on, and the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and other countries divert their investments to rebuilding at home, the lost capital could ripple through data centers as well as public and private tech companies, he said. "I think markets have underappreciated how important the Middle East region is for capex spending as it relates to AI and AI infrastructure," Selby told CNBC in an interview. "If the Middle East starts taking some of these projects offline or canceling some of these projects, the impact on the market could be much, much, much larger than what they currently suggest." Selby's warning has implications for high-net-worth investors, family offices and funds betting on the AI trade. A Wall Street Journal report this week about missed revenue targets at OpenAI rattled tech and chip stocks. Selby said the Middle East poses another funding risk, as AI companies grew more dependent on the region for capital. Oracle, Nvidia and Cisco are part of OpenAI's campus in the UAE to build out 5 gigawatts of capacity. Microsoft plans to invest $15 billion in the UAE by 2029. The sovereign wealth funds of the UAE and Saudi Arabia have become key investors in private AI companies, with OpenAI reportedly seeking $50 billion from the big funds in the region earlier this year.

Major news organizations, including CNN, NBC and USA Today, have joined an effort to curb the storage of their content in a web archive used by artificial intelligence companies for training chatbots. Those outlets are part of a group of 20 publishers who have opted out of having their content saved in an online repository maintained by the nonprofit Common Crawl, according to a letter reviewed by Bloomberg. The News/Media Alliance , which represents newspapers and magazines, sent the letter Wednesday to Common Crawl urging them to honor publishers’ requests to remove content from dozens of their websites and prohibit the unauthorized use of their work, including for AI purposes. “AI developers, including some of the most powerful tech companies on earth, are in fact using Common Crawl’s content to power their commercial AI tools and products – causing significant harm to our members,” the nonprofit wrote. Common Crawl declined to comment on the letter. Danielle Coffey , president and chief executive officer of News/Media Alliance, said she found out about the rampant use of Common Crawl data in AI training about three years ago. “We do view this type of use of our content without permission as a copyright violation,” she said in an interview. Founded in 2007, Common Crawl uses a bot to traverse the web and download data in order to create a digital archive that anyone can access. Some companies, including OpenAI , Google and Meta Platforms Inc. have used this trove of content to develop chatbots like ChatGPT. Common Crawl has also received donations from AI companies, including OpenAI and Anthropic PBC . News outlets have been concerned that chatbots and AI-powered search results will steal their content, cut into web traffic and cost them valuable advertising dollars. New York Times Co. sued Microsoft Corp. and OpenAI over alleged copyright infringement that caused billions of dollars in damages. The newspaper claimed that its news articles were scraped from the w...
