A study was done of ultra high net worth individuals (the people in the study have a combined wealth over $500 billion), and it found the three biggest worries of these super rich people are: inheritance issues, taxes on their wealth, and the global economy.

A recent CNBC story goes into why Gates not only purchased the book but why he’s held on to it for almost 25 years and counting, keeping in mind that back in 1994 he was very wealthy from Microsoft but hadn’t yet become the richest person on Earth. What drove the famously thrifty Gates to drop so much on such a small item? In a 2013 interview with 60 Minutes, he spoke about the qualities he sees in Leonardo that make him such a personal hero to him: “It’s an inspiration that one person — off on their own, with no feedback, without being told what was right or wrong — that he kept pushing himself, that he found knowledge itself to be the most beautiful thing....

Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, this is precisely what happened in 1984 to an ice cream truck driver from Ohio, named Michael Larson.

He certainly added fuel to the fire, if nothing else. When asked how much the deal was worth, Carter at first said he couldn’t say....

The suit, which was filed back in 2017, stems from the two songs using similar chord progressions and other musical elements. Sheeran’s attorneys are arguing that the elements in question are part of common musical grammar and don’t even originate with the Gaye song. Ilene Farkas, representing Sheeran and co-writer Amy Wadge, told jurors that the pair “created this heartfelt song without copying ‘Let’s Get It On.’” Sheeran didn’t exactly do himself a favor when he performed a seamless mash-up of “Let’s Get It On” and “Thinking Out Loud” on stage at various concerts....
