If Abigail Disney had listened to her financial advisers growing up, the heiress would have concentrated on one thing above all else: getting even richer. The granddaughter of The Walt Disney Company co-founder Roy O. Disney says of those early money managers, “They were really lovely, wonderful, nice people who had known me since I was a child… and they taught me some things that it took me a long time to break open and really unpack. Nobody said this out loud—this was just implied—but if you end your life without more than you started with, then you’ve somehow failed. And beyond that, your children should be better off than you were.” But with her, the imperative to compile wealth on top of wealth didn’t take. “I think that’s an appropriate thing, maybe in the middle class or the working class,” she notes. “But I started already with more than I need. Why would I want more or need more?” The social activist, philanthropist and documentary filmmaker has become a … [Read more...] about Abigail Disney Fearlessly Challenges Fellow One-Percenters On Distribution of Wealth — Deadline Disruptors

She is hosting game show The Final Straw , which has seen NFL legend Peyton Manning join as one of the exec producers.

Superstar Mahesh Babu starrer comedy-drama Sarkaru Vaari Paata has finally become the actor's fourth consecutive film to join the coveted Rs 100 Crore club. The film was released amid huge expectations and fanfare on May 6 to a divided response. Even so, fans of the superstar were delighted with the film. They enjoyed Mahesh Babu in a new mass avatar and his improved dancing skills. Mahesh, too, went out of his zone for this film and took part in various promotional activities along with the film's director. Keerthy Suresh played the female lead in the film in which the duo's chemistry was appreciated. Performances were on point in the film, which failed to take off in the second half.

Opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not reflect the views of Rolling Stone editors or publishers. It was inevitable. With the emergence of any new technology, innovation or major platform, comes the excitement, the rush to understand and profit. What soon follows are the scams, frauds and loss through ignorance and then righteous indignation. There’s a lot of naysaying and prognosticating. Then, usually, as the new thing or way becomes clearer — its value apparent — the utility and durable nature (if it has them) become clear too. In February 2021, Mike Winkelmann (aka Beeple) sold his eponymous “Everydays: the First 5,000 Days” NFT at auction for $69 million . At that moment, the cultural lens pivoted and suddenly everybody was hearing the acronym NFT. The art was what was visible at that moment, both by Beeple and others, and a quick succession of seven-digit auctions quickly earned the full attention of the art market. Cue a rush of art, some of it … [Read more...] about NFT Art Is Terrible, but That’s OK Because There’s No Such Thing as NFT Art
