It was a record-breaking year for the world's richest people. In 2025, the world’s 500 wealthiest individuals saw their fortunes balloon by an unprecedented $2.2 trillion, driving their combined net worth to nearly $12 trillion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This surge was fueled by robust gains across stocks, cryptocurrencies, and commodities, buoyed by President Donald Trump unleashing a free-market-blitz, cutting corporate taxes and loosening regulations. To no surprise, Big Tech dominated the index, as a stock market frenzy for artificial intelligence saw market caps surge. About a quarter of the index's gains came from just eight people, with all but one in tech. This includes Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Alphabet co-founder Larry Page, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. Although, that's down from last year, when the same eight billionaires accounted for 43% of the total gains. Musk continued to top the list. Even as Tesla stock oscillated amid supply chain concerns, Musk's waning popularity, and competition from Chinese electric vehicle makers, his fortunes grew to nearly $623 billion, up by more than $190 billion. But Ellison briefly eclipsed Musk as the world's richest man in September, due to a sudden surge in Oracle's share price, rallying around 25% for the entire month, as the cloud infrastructure company unveiled a $300 billion contract with OpenAI and ramped up AI spending. Yet, since then, broader tech market corrections and concerns about Oracle's rising debt have tempered those gains, with its stock down about 40% since. Trump and his family saw their net worth reach $6.8 billion, up $282 million in a year, according to the index. Trump’s business ventures span real estate, social media, and financial services, with many explicitly capitalizing on his political following. Just three days before his inauguration, Trump launched the meme coin $TRUMP, and soon offered its top holders a private dinner with him. The pr...

Key Points The Metals Company plans to harvest polymetallic nodules from the Pacific Ocean. Its future hinges on gaining regulatory approval to mine nodules commercially. 10 stocks we like better than TMC The Metals Company › The Metals Company (NASDAQ: TMC) was one of the market's best-performing stocks in 2025. Indeed, if you had invested $10,000 in TMC last year, your shares would be worth about $58,600 today, assuming you held on to them. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » That's a huge gain, and not one you typically see from a mining stock. Add in TMC's pre-revenue status and its lack of a commercial license, and it's clear the hype behind this company has outrun its fundamentals. Does TMC have a future, though? A monstrous gain like this predisposes investors to expect something momentous in the near term. And when you look at TMC's current situation, it's pretty obvious what that momentous "something" is. TMC has a future if it can do this one thing Everything about TMC boils down to a single outcome: gaining a commercial license for deep-sea mining. Right now, TMC does not have regulatory approval to send its robotic vacuums to harvest polymetallic nodules off the Pacific Ocean seafloor. Indeed, the company has been waiting for years for the International Seabed Authority (ISA) to finalize a rulebook under which it can gain such an approval. The hope is that the ISA will create this rulebook and approve TMC's operations. That would allow the company to turn its multibillion-dollar treasure trove of nodules into sales before the company sinks under the weight of its own hefty operational costs. On that note, TMC reported a $55.4 million operating loss in the third quarter of 2025, against a net loss of $184.5 million. Some good news, however: TMC has been pursuing an alternative path to commercialization through the U.S.' National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin...

This oft-overlooked cruise line operator has been crushing the competition. The new year has just begun, and I'm starting a new investing journey on this first trading day of 2026. All year long, I'm planning to look at stocks that have escaped many investors' attention, both on Wall Street and here in the Motley Fool universe of stock recommendation services. My first stock for what I'm calling my Voyager Portfolio is Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL +0.93%), as the cruise-line operator has impressed me with its comeback after many investors left it and its industry peers for dead during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Articles in the coming days will drill down on Royal Caribbean's financial condition and its future prospects as a growth stock. Here, though, let's get better acquainted with the cruise industry and Royal Caribbean's part in it. Royal Caribbean and its opportunity in the cruise industry Travelers worldwide have historically made cruise ships a popular way to see the sights . With cruise ships offering a wide array of dining and entertainment options on their way to appealing onshore destinations, many travelers enjoy the all-inclusive nature of cruise travel. In 2019, nearly 30 million passengers globally booked passage on cruise ships across the industry, according to figures from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA). The pandemic caused the suspension of commercial cruise operations across the globe. CLIA estimates put the economic damage in just the first six months of the pandemic at $77 billion, including $23 billion in lost wages and over half a million jobs lost. In the U.S., passenger counts bottomed out in 2021 at 2.17 million, down nearly 85% from the 14.2 million American passengers that boarded cruise ships two years earlier. However, despite immense hardship both financially and operationally, many cruise ship operators were able to obtain the financing they needed to get through tough times and survive until nationa...

AQR Capital Management ’s multistrategy offering returned 19.6% in 2025, extending its comeback even in a turbulent year for quantitative investing. The $6.8 billion Apex, which bundles a range of the systematic firm’s trades, rose 3% in December, according to a person familiar with the matter who declined to be identified as the information is private. Stock-picking trades were the biggest driver of Apex’s 2025 gains, and the $6.3 billion market-neutral Adaptive Equities Strategy gained 24.4%, the person added. The year marked another period of asset growth and peer-beating performance for the Greenwich, Connecticut-based firm co-founded by Cliff Asness . It now oversees $189 billion, after assets increased by a record $75 billion in 2025. While AQR is traditionally known for strategies backed by academic research, such as stock factors, it has adopted more proprietary and machine-learning techniques in recent years. Read more: Bridgewater, D.E. Shaw Among Top Hedge Fund Gainers of 2025 For the quant industry as a whole, 2025 was generally topsy-turvy, with President Donald Trump ’s so-called Liberation Day tariff announcement fueling massive market swings in April. As stocks returned to calm with bouts of speculative fervor, some systematic equity trading shops were also hit with unexpected losses in July and October . In trend following, a classic quant trade chasing momentum across futures, AQR’s $5.7 billion Helix strategy also bucked its peers with a 18.6% gain in 2025, the person said. While Helix is a little different in that it focuses on trends in alternative markets, that compares with a 2.5% rise for the SG Trend Index , an industry benchmark.

People are being put at risk of harm by false and misleading health information in Google’s artificial intelligence summaries, a Guardian investigation has found. The company has said its AI Overviews, which use generative AI to provide snapshots of essential information about a topic or question, are “helpful” and “reliable”. But some of the summaries, which appear at the top of search results, served up inaccurate health information and put people at risk of harm. In one case that experts described as “really dangerous”, Google wrongly advised people with pancreatic cancer to avoid high-fat foods. Experts said this was the exact opposite of what should be recommended, and may increase the risk of patients dying from the disease. In another “alarming” example, the company provided bogus information about crucial liver function tests, which could leave people with serious liver disease wrongly thinking they are healthy. Google searches for answers about women’s cancer tests also provided “completely wrong” information, which experts said could result in people dismissing genuine symptoms. A Google spokesperson said that many of the health examples shared with them were “incomplete screenshots”, but from what they could assess they linked “to well-known, reputable sources and recommend seeking out expert advice”. The Guardian investigation comes amid growing concern that AI data can confuse consumers who may assume that it is reliable. In November last year, a study found AI chatbots across a range of platforms gave inaccurate financial advice, while similar concerns have been raised about summaries of news stories. Sophie Randall, director of the Patient Information Forum, which promotes evidence-based health information to patients, the public and healthcare professionals, said the examples showed “Google’s AI Overviews can put inaccurate health information at the top of online searches, presenting a risk to people’s health”. Stephanie Parker, the director of digit...

00:00 Speaker A If uh one is getting bored a little bit with the Mag 7, maybe they're a little more cautious on it given the valuations they tread out, trade out. Where do they go? Are there under the radar tech names people can play that still get them exposure to AI? 00:15 Speaker B Well, it's interesting. I mean the AI trade itself is sort of evolved, right? So the initial push was into the pure uh picks and shovels. Nvidia of course being the massive winner. uh continues to be a winner there of course. Um but now we're seeing it evolve, right? We just mentioned a moment ago a company like Sandisk. What's now investors are saying is what memory do we need in order to actually run uh these large language models sort of in perpetuity. Um and that's one of the reasons why stocks like uh Micron, Sandisk and others have done so well. So I actually think the trade is now evolving, not necessarily into the where the most obvious winners are. Uh what the big question mark is sort of what's going to happen in the software space. Uh names like Service Now, Salesforce have sort of been disappointing in their ability to produce return on investment in their AI build out, um which is one of the reasons why, you know, a company like uh Alphabet was really the big winner last year because they're the triple play when it comes to AI. You know, they have large language models, they're a hyperscaler themselves, um and they can deliver that sort of in uh enterprise and uh consumer applications. Um so I think the trade is still is still on. Uh it's going to be a little bit more volatile because investors are going to start kind of really being more discerning about that spending just as we saw uh with disappointments around Oracle's build out because it's going to be debt funded as opposed to funded from free cash flow.

Jan. 2, 2026, 11:59 a.m. ET Chinese auto giant BYD surpassed Tesla to become the world’s top electric-vehicle seller in 2025, according to new data released by the two companies. The Chinese automaker has come a long way since 2011, when Tesla CEO Elon Musk dismissed BYD as a competitor in a Bloomberg TV interview, saying "I don't think they have a great product" and added its focus should be "making sure they don't die in China." More than a decade later, in 2025, BYD outsold Tesla despite its EVs not being available for retail purchase in the United States, while China remains a key market for Tesla. With global EV sales rising about 28% last year, BYD reported it sold around 2.26 million EVs, fueled in part by growth in Europe where it has been widening its lead over Tesla. Meanwhile, the American automaker's final quarterly earning report showed its annual sales fell for a second straight year. Tesla deliveries declined to 1.64 million, down from 1.79 million in 2024. Intensifying competition, the expiration of $7,500 federal tax credits for EV buyers and consumer backlash tied to Musk becoming the face of the Department of Government Efficiency made 2025 a challenging year for Tesla. Still, Tesla shares rose about 11.4% in 2025, boosting Musk's wealth. After Tesla published its final quarterly earnings report Jan. 2, its shares had dipped 1.2% by the afternoon, while BYD's shares had jumped about 5%.
