Larry Page is reportedly considering a move to Florida as a result of the growing momentum for a wealth tax in California - Jeff Chiu/AFP Photo Larry Page, the Google co-founder and world’s second-richest person, has reportedly left California amid concerns about a wealth tax on billionaires. Mr Page has moved the registrations of several entities, including his family office and flying car business from California to Delaware, according to filings with the states. He has also personally moved out of the state ahead of a potential vote on a 5pc wealth tax, according to Business Insider, which first reported the move. Mr Page, who founded Google in 1998, is the world’s second-richest person with a net worth of $270bn (£200bn). The world’s richest person, Elon Musk, left California for Texas in 2020. Momentum for a wealth tax to fund healthcare is growing in California. A healthcare union has proposed a referendum on the measure at the same time as November’s mid-term elections, and is currently gathering signatures to have the measure put on the ballot. California laws allow the public to vote on proposed laws if they gather enough signatures, even if they are opposed by the state’s politicians. Gavin Newsom, the Democrat governor of California who is seen as a frontrunner for his party’s nomination in the 2028 presidential election, has opposed plans for a wealth tax, and it is unclear if it will pass. However, the proposed law would apply retrospectively from Jan 1 2026, meaning California residents would have had to have left last year to avoid the tax. Mr Page’s organisations and companies that moved late last year included Koop, his family office; Flu Lab, which funds research into flu vaccines; and One Aero, a shell company that has funded his flying car ventures. Flu Lab was contacted for comment, while the other companies and Mr Page could not be reached. The proposed wealth tax would be a one-off 5pc tax on people with assets above $1bn, so it could cost Mr ...

In early January 2026, Astera Labs drew attention as part of a broader semiconductor rebound tied to optimism around AI chip and cloud infrastructure demand, while an insider filed a Form 144 indicating plans to sell up to US$5,000,000 of shares under a pre-arranged program. The episode highlighted how Astera Labs’ role in supplying connectivity solutions for next-generation AI data centers can amplify investor sensitivity to sector-wide sentiment shifts and upcoming earnings guidance. With renewed AI infrastructure optimism and insider selling plans in focus, we’ll examine how this news shapes Astera Labs’ investment narrative. The end of cancer? These like cancer and Alzheimer's. Advertisement Astera Labs Investment Narrative Recap To own Astera Labs, you need to believe in sustained AI data center buildout and continued demand for its high value connectivity chips, while accepting customer concentration and intense competitive pressure as core risks. The early January 2026 rally, driven by sector optimism and an insider’s Form 144 filing to sell up to US$5,000,000 of shares, does not materially change the key near term catalyst, which remains the upcoming February earnings and guidance on AI infrastructure spending. The most relevant recent update in this context is Astera Labs’ guidance from November 2025, calling for Q4 2025 revenue of US$245 million to US$253 million and GAAP gross margin near 75 percent. With shares now reacting sharply to AI enthusiasm and insider selling headlines, how the company’s February report lines up with that trajectory, and what it says about hyperscaler AI capex, will likely frame investors’ focus on both growth durability and valuation. Yet even with strong AI enthusiasm, investors should be aware of how concentrated hyperscaler demand could quickly reshape Astera Labs’ outlook if...

The UK’s financial regulator has fined two former executives at the government contractor Carillion for misleading investors before the construction company’s collapse eight years ago. Richard Adam and Zafar Khan knew about serious problems in the business but failed to alert investors, the board or the audit committee, the Financial Conduct Authority found. Adam and Khan have been fined £232,800 and £138,900 respectively, after both former directors dropped their appeal against the FCA findings. The fines come eight years after the demise of the major government contractor, which was one of the biggest construction and facilities management companies in the country. View image in fullscreen Richard Adam appears before MPs in February 2018. Photograph: PA Carillion entered liquidation with £7bn of debts in January 2018, resulting in 3,000 job losses and causing chaos across 450 projects and public-sector schemes, including schools, roads, prisons and the expansion of Liverpool Football Club’s stadium. The disruption delayed the construction of two new hospitals – the 646-bed Royal Liverpool and 669-bed Midland Metropolitan in Sandwell – which were due to open in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The projects ultimately ran hundreds of millions of pounds over budget. Steve Smart, a director at the FCA, said the collapse of Carillion showed the “serious impact” of people in positions of responsibility not keeping the market “accurately and adequately informed”. Smart added: “The action taken against Mr Adam and Mr Khan demonstrates our commitment to preventing market abuse and upholding the standards we expect.” Only months before its collapse, Carillion shocked investors by announcing a £845m write-down owing to problems in its construction projects. The company’s former chair Philip Green was working towards an “upbeat announcement” to investors five days before it announced the charge, and the FCA found that the company’s previous trading update had given no indication ...

With the right strategy, you can lower your medical spending. There are certain expenses that tend to drop in retirement. You may not spend as much money on transportation, for example, once you're no longer commuting to work. Your housing costs might also decrease if you manage to pay off your mortgage ahead of retirement. And if you downsize, you might spend less on property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. But if there's one expense that tends to increase for people in retirement, it's healthcare. And if you're on a tight budget that consists largely of Social Security, rising healthcare costs might leave you with little wiggle room for other expenses. The good news? There are steps you can take to spend less on healthcare in retirement. Here are a few to implement at the start of the year. 1. Review your Medicare plan's rules carefully Whether you got a new Medicare plan in 2026 or not, a new year means you may be looking at new rules to follow. Read through your plan's details carefully so you know what to expect. Advertisement Your Medicare plan, for example, may require that you obtain prior authorization for certain services. If you don't go through the proper channels, your claims could get denied. 2. Take advantage of preventive care to avoid larger bills Medicare offers a wide range of preventive healthcare services at little to no cost. These include certain vaccines, health screenings, and an annual wellness exam. It's a good idea to take advantage of the free or low-cost preventive services that are available to you. Not only might they help you preserve your health, but they could help you avoid the larger bills that come with having health issues escalate. You should also know that some Medicare Advantage plans offer supplemental benefits that include nutrition counseling and meal delivery services. And it's pretty common for Medicare Advantage plans to offer fitness benefits. It pays to utilize these perks so your health stays strong and your bill...

There’s no bad time to take a more active interest in your health, but the new year, for lots of us, feels like a fresh start. Maybe you’re planning to sign up for a 10k or finally have a go at bouldering, eat a bit better or learn to swing a kettlebell. Maybe you want to keep up with your grandkids — or just be a little bit more physically prepared for whatever life throws at you. To help things along, Guardian Live invites you to a special event with public health expert Devi Sridhar, journalist and author Mariella Frostrup, and health and fitness columnist Joel Snape. They’ll be joining the Guardian’s Today in Focus presenter Annie Kelly to discuss simple, actionable ways to stay fit and healthy as you move through the second half of life: whether that means staying strong and mobile or stressing less and sleeping better. To make the whole event as helpful as possible, we’d love to hear from you about what you find most challenging — or confusing — when it comes to health and exercise. What should you actually be eating, and how are you going to find the time to make it? What sort of exercise is best, and how often should you be doing it? Is Pilates worth the effort — and should we really all be drinking mugfuls of piping hot creatine? Whether your question is about exercise, eating, or general wellness, post it below and we’ll put a selection to our panel on the night.

Welcome to India Edition, Bloomberg’s daily dive into what’s moving the worlds of business, markets and politics in this dynamic, fast-paced economy. I’m Menaka Doshi . If you didn’t receive this directly in your inbox, you can subscribe here , and share feedback with us here . Today we look at the institutional interest in the country’s real estate sector, and how retail debt is turning out to be an important driver of growth. As the gains and losses of 2025 are being tallied, one figure caught my eye. India’s property sector received a record $8.5 billion in institutional investments last year, according to data from Colliers India. The approximately 30% year-on-year surge is backed by a doubling of domestic flows and a rise in office property deals, confirming the reasons I recently listed for why India’s real estate boom shows few signs of flagging. Here are key takeaways from the full-year data. Domestic institutional investments doubled to $4.8 billion — that’s 57% of all investments last year. Foreign capital flows declined by 16% to $3.7 billion, but the two biggest deal announcements of the year were made by international investor Brookfield. Investments in office assets nearly doubled to $4.5 billion. Bengaluru saw a 277% rise in investments to $2.2 billion, driven by expansion in global capability centers and flexible work spaces. There are many factors at play here, according to Vimal Nadar, national director and head of research at Colliers India. Regulatory reforms and improving governance in the real-estate sector are giving rich Indians more confidence to diversify into property investments through family offices, alternative investment funds, and real estate investment trusts. And with sky-high residential property prices in some cities, the investment interest has broadened to commercial properties. For two years now India’s red-hot property market has outpaced experts’ concerns of overheating . Maybe 2026 will be the third year? Next up in this ed...
