Anthony Scaramucci, the&nbsp;founder and CEO of SkyBridge&nbsp;Capital, said Wednesday that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) would be deemed a full-fledged asset class once it hits $500,000 a piece.
What Happened: The Bitcoin bull, while speaking at CoinDesk's Consensus 2025 conference, stated, &#8220;$3 trillion is like a mag&nbsp;7 stock, $20 trillion is&nbsp;an asset class. So&nbsp;if you tell me that&nbsp;Bitcoin can get to $500,000,&nbsp;people will be writing stories&nbsp;that Bitcoin is an asset&nbsp;class.&#8221;
Scaramucci emphasized the importance of Bitcoin matching the market capitalization of gold, which is presently over $21 trillion, in order to be recognized as a separate asset class.
Scaramucci suggested that the ongoing influx of capital into the Bitcoin market via <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin-etf">exchange-traded funds</a> and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45349057/strategy-buys-134b-in-bitcoin-at-99856-cites-155-btc-yield">adoption of strategies</a> following Strategy Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) lead presented an optimistic future for the apex cryptocurrency.
&#8220;We may not actually be bullish enough," he said.

Despite the political risks associated with crypto becoming a contentious issue in U.S. politics, Scaramucci sees the incentives aligning for bipartisan support. He added, &#8220;If&nbsp;you get bitcoin to $500,000,&nbsp;people won't just say it's&nbsp;an asset class—they'll treat it&nbsp;like one.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Scaramucci&#8217;s bullish outlook aligned with his previous statements. Earlier this week, he said that Bitcoin was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45372571/anthony-scaramucci-says-bitcoin-is-evolving-from-a-tech-asset-to-digital-gold">undergoing a structural transformation</a>, evolving from a volatile tech-aligned investment to a maturing global asset more akin to digital gold.
Scaramucci has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45334917/anthony-scaramucci-compares-trumps-crypto-policy-to-mar-a-lago-buffet-you-have-to-eat-everything-at">mixed feelings</a> regarding President Donald Trump's cryptocurrency policies, asserting that the healthy developments around legislation and regulatory clarity were marred by his family's involvement in the space. 
Scaramucci has been vocal about his Bitcoin support, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45093574/anthony-scaramucci-wasnt-keen-on-bitcoin-initially-but-the-eureka-moment-came-during-his-short-white-house-tenure-under-trump">revealing previously</a> that 70% of his wealth is tied up in the leading cryptocurrency.

Anthony Scaramucci Says Once Bitcoin Hits $500,000 It Will Be Considered An Asset Class Just Like Gold

As markets cheer Qatar&#8217;s massive $200 billion jet deal with Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), economist Peter Schiff has a warning that has little to do with planes, and a lot more to do with America&#8217;s structural vulnerabilities.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Schiff highlighted the potential financial fallout of Boeing&#8217;s mega deal with Qatar, which involves acquiring 160 jets for its state-owned carrier, Qatar Airways. 
While acknowledging that this was &#8220;great for Boeing,&#8221; which hit a one-year high following the news, Schiff cautions that the transaction could come with a hidden cost for the U.S. economy.

He says that to help finance this purchase, &#8220;Qatar will likely sell a lot of Treasuries and other U.S. assets,&#8221; further straining the U.S. bond market that is already under pressure.
Schiff says that this capital reallocation might contribute to &#8220;pushing up inflation and interest rates in the U.S.,&#8221; which comes at a time when the Federal Reserve is already grappling with persistent inflationary pressures amid a ballooning Federal trade deficit.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Qatar will spend over $200 billion to buy 160 jets from Boeing for its government-owned airline. Great for Boeing, but the downside is that Qatar will likely sell a lot of Treasuries and other U.S. assets to help cover the cost, pushing up inflation and interest rates in the U.S.
&mdash; Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) <a href="https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1922665339348717639?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 14, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The deal, which is one of the largest jet purchases ever made, comes at a time of growing concerns regarding <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44267663/ray-dalio-warns-us-debt-crisis-could-trigger-shocking-developments-calls-to-reduce-deficit-at-3-of-gdp">America&#8217;s debt sustainability</a>. 
Early this week, economist Stephanie Pomboy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45369770/whos-going-to-buy-2-trillion-worth-of-paper-macro-expert-calls-wall-street-rally-a-headline-sugar-rush-as-treasury-yield-spike-signals-bigger-trouble">raised similar concerns</a>, asking, &#8220;Who&#8217;s going to buy $2 trillion worth of paper?&#8221; with major buyers such as China pulling back.
As U.S. 30-Year Treasury yields approached 5%, analyst Gordon Johnson warned of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45399783/gordon-johnson-warns-of-potential-liberation-day-20-as-30-year-treasury-yields-approach-5-amid-dollar-weakness">potential &#8220;Liberation Day 2.0,&#8221;</a> as it risks jeopardizing $8 trillion in U.S. debt that is set to be refinanced in 2025. 
On Tuesday, Schiff too called out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/25/05/45396490/peter-schiff-says-trade-truce-aside-the-world-is-losing-confidence-in-dollar-and-in-us-ability-to-put-fiscal-house-in-order">the rising yields</a> and the decline in the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) despite the trade truce with China early in the week, which he says is because &#8220;the world is losing confidence in the dollar,&#8221; and the country&#8217;s ability to get its fiscal house in order.
&#8220;The consequences of de-dollarization will be profound,&#8221; Schiff said, especially as the U.S. Treasury Department ramps up its borrowing, projecting $514 billion in net debt issues during this quarter, which is 317% over its own forecast of $123 billion, just two months ago.
Fund manager, Michael Kao, however, has a different take on this deal with Qatar, referring to it as &#8220;Petrodollar recycling,&#8221; while adding that the Petrodollar system &#8220;isn&#8217;t going away anytime soon,&#8221; in a post on X. Kao also included a list of multi-billion dollar transactions between U.S. companies and Middle-Eastern states to drive his point.

Peter Schiff Warns Qatar's $200 Billion Boeing Deal Could Spike US Inflation, Interest Rates — Says Treasury Sell-Off May Follow

Following a new U.S. directive banning the use of Huawei Technologies AI chips globally, Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>) said it has sufficient stockpiles of high-end chips, like Nvidia Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) H20, to continue training large language models for "a few more generations."
What Happened: "So it's a very dynamic situation," Tencent president Martin Lau told analysts on a conference call on Wednesday, <a href="https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Technology/Tencent-says-chip-stockpile-can-power-AI-training-for-generations-despite-US-ban">reported</a> Nikkei Asia. "We just … have to manage the situation," not only in a compliant way, but also by making sure our AI strategy can still be executed.
The U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security this week barred the use of Huawei chips for AI, even outside American borders. This comes as Washington tightens export controls amid growing concerns over military applications of AI technology.

Lau noted that while GPU supply is tight, Tencent has prioritized internal use, focusing first on revenue-generating AI products like advertising and content recommendations, with model training following.
He added that Tencent is optimizing software for inference, effectively doubling GPU capacity, the report noted.
Why It's Important: Tencent's first-quarter earnings beat analyst expectations, with revenue rising 13% year-over-year to 180 billion yuan ($24.9 billion), driven by strong AI-enhanced ad performance and gaming growth.
Previously, it was reported that Chinese tech giants, including Tencent, Alibaba Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) and ByteDance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43931074/chinese-tech-giants-like-tencent-alibaba-and-bytedance-rush-to-buy-nvidias-h20-ai-chips-as-deepseeks-low-cost-models-fuel-massive-demand-surge">increased their orders for</a> Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chips to meet rising demand for affordable AI solutions, particularly from emerging startups like DeepSeek.

Since January, Nvidia has reportedly received H20 chip orders totaling around $18 billion. However, in March, Chinese server manufacturer H3C cautioned about a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44519562/nvidia-faces-fresh-china-setback-as-chip-shortages-and-sanctions-disrupt-supply">potential shortage of these chips</a>.
Last week, it was reported that Nvidia is redesigning its H20 AI chip for the Chinese market, with plans to release the revised version as soon as July. The decision followed a notification from the Donald Trump administration informing Nvidia that the original H20 chip would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44830406/nvidia-to-take-55-billion-hit-over-china-chip-export-restrictions-but-top-analyst-dan-ives-says-hes-not-overly-concerned-all-part-of-the-high-game-of-poker">require an export license</a>.
Nvidia received an impressive growth score of 95% from Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here to see how it compares to other leading tech giants</a> such as Alibaba and Tencent.

After Trump Administration's Ban On Huawei AI Chips Goes Global, Tencent Says It Has Enough High-End AI Chips To Train Models For 'Generations'

U.S. stock markets saw a positive shift on Wednesday, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices turning green for the year. The market&#8217;s upbeat sentiment was buoyed by a favorable inflation report and easing trade tensions, particularly benefiting the tech sector.

Bitcoin Flat, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip: Analyst Firm Sees 'Significant Recovery' In Retail Interest But A Pullback Might Be Imminent

The crisis at UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) continues to deepen, with a new criminal investigation by federal authorities, following the abrupt departure of its CEO, and a steep decline in stock prices.
What Happened: UnitedHealth is reportedly under criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for possible Medicare fraud, according to a Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/unitedhealth-medicare-fraud-investigation-df80667f">report</a>, which cited people familiar with the matter.
The probe, overseen by the DOJ&#8217;s criminal healthcare fraud division, has reportedly been active since at least last summer and is focused on UnitedHealth's Medicare Advantage business practices. It marks the latest in a string of challenges facing the health insurance giant in recent months.
This comes just a day after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">sudden exit of CEO</a> Andrew Witty, who has since been replaced by the company&#8217;s Chairman and former CEO, Stephen Hemsley. 
While the DOJ has struggled to secure convictions in past Medicare fraud claims against UnitedHealth, the criminal nature of the current probe raises the stakes significantly as the company contends with mounting regulatory scrutiny and a declining stock price.
The company, however, has since responded to Benzinga in a press release stating that it has not been notified of any supposed criminal investigation by the DOJ. It further adds that WSJ&#8217;s reporting is deeply irresponsible, and that the company stands by the integrity of its Medicare Advantage program.

Why It Matters: The company has been <a href="https://benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45424904/unitedhealth-stock-caught-in-a-perfect-storm-falls-nearly-50-since-april">caught in a perfect storm</a> in recent months, with the stock down nearly 50% since April, owing to a string of negative catalysts. 
UnitedHealth decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance">suspend its outlook</a> for 2025 early this week, citing the continuing acceleration in care activity, adding to the stock&#8217;s woes. 
This comes amid a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45305392/unitedhealth-investors-claim-company-hid-profit-impact-of-ceos-murder">fresh shareholder lawsuit</a>, which claims that the company hid the potential impact of its former CEO, Brian Thompson&#8217;s murder in December 2024, and the resulting backlash and regulatory scrutiny.
In February, investor Bill Ackman said in a post on X that when a company attacks its critics, the probability of it having committed fraud or being guilty of a crime &#8220;increases substantially.&#8221; 
&#8220;When you find two cockroaches, it is almost a certainty that there are many more. And a half a trillion market cap for a health insurer makes no sense,&#8221; he said.

What Happened: Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang, who last year sparked "Jensanity" among attendees, will headline this year's show, which will run from May 20–23 in Taipei, reported Reuters.

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades, including a notable purchase of Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>), a sell-off of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) , and strategic adjustments in cryptocurrency ETFs like the 3iQ Solana Staking ETF (SOLQ.U) and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>).
The Airbnb Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s flagship fund, the Ark Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), acquired 214,624 shares of Airbnb. This move coincided with Airbnb&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45415824/whats-going-on-with-airbnb-stock-today">announcement of a major platform expansion</a>, integrating services and experiences into its app, aiming to broaden its business scope beyond traditional lodging.

On Wednesday, Airbnb shares ended the day at $137.45, the Ark trade was valued at $29.5 million.
The Palantir Trade
In contrast, ARKK offloaded 206,881 shares of Palantir. This decision comes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/25/05/45408452/stock-of-the-day-palantir-breaks-out-sell-news-rally">amid Palantir&#8217;s stock rally</a>, which has been described as a classic &#8216;sell the news&#8217; scenario. Despite positive earnings, Palantir&#8217;s stock has been on an upward trend, suggesting that Ark Invest might be capitalizing on current market conditions. Ark&#8217;s Wednesday trade was valued at $26.9 million. Palantir shares ended the day at $130.18. On Tuesday, Ark had offloaded 4,791 Palantir shares worth $613,727.

This ETF has gained traction since its debut, offering exposure to Solana&#8217;s (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) price movements and staking rewards. On Wednesday, SOLQ.U ended the day at $13.86 in Toronto, making the Ark trade worth $7.6 million.
Meanwhile, Ark Invest reduced its holdings in the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF, selling 76,461 shares in ARKF and ARKW. Notably, Ark had on earlier occasions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44855538/cathie-woods-crypto-shuffle-pours-5-2-million-into-newly-listed-solana-staking-fund-dumps-bitcoin-etf-and-buys-robinhood-dip">reduced its exposure</a> to its own Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fund. Wednesday&#8217;s trade was valued at $7.9 million. ARKB ended the day at $103.01.

Cathie Wood's Wednesday Wisdom? Bets On Airbnb's Platform Expansion, Dumps Palantir At Peak

Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) attacked President Donald Trump&#8217;s reported decision to parole family members of Mexican cartel leaders into the United States on Wednesday, implying a potential connection to the Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) meme coin.
What Happened: In an X post, Schumer said, &#8220;Trump is letting cartel family members just come right into our country&#8221; as part of an agreement, deeming it a &#8220;dangerous&#8221; development.
&#8220;How much memecoin did Sinaloa&nbsp;have to buy to make&nbsp;this happen?&#8221; the senior Democrat leveled a serious accusation against Trump, referring to the $2 billion cryptocurrency.

Schumer cited an Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/el-chapo-sinaloa-cartel-trump-border-harfuch-86572a31c88a216da7cd5f33006a0011">report </a>that said the son of Sinaloa Cartel&#8217;s notorious drug lord Joaquín &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzmán, Ovidio Guzman Lopez, who was extradited to the U.S. in 2023, reached an agreement with the administration. Mexico's security chief confirmed Lopez&#8217;s family members crossed into the U.S. last week, the report added.
The White House didn&#8217;t immediately return Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment.
Why It Matters: This controversy comes against the backdrop of Trump&#8217;s war on Mexican drug cartels, which he identifies as a threat to national security.

Chuck Schumer Says Trump Is 'Letting Cartel Members' Into The US, Asks How Much 'Memecoin' Did They Pay

At the height of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/24/01/36606013/happy-60th-birthday-jeff-bezos-the-billionaire-survived-the-dot-com-bubble-burst-what-if">the dot-com bust</a>, Amazon.com, Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) stock cratered by about 94%. However, for Jeff Bezos, the collapse was just noise, because the company's fundamentals were improving.
What Happened: In a 2018 episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations," Bezos recalled the harrowing days of the early 2000s, when Amazon's stock nosedived from $113 to just $6 during the dot-com bubble burst.
"At the peak of the internet bubble, our stock peaked somewhere around $113, and then after the internet bubble busted open, our stock went down to $6," Bezos said. "It went from $113 to $6 in less than a year. My annual shareholder letter that year starts with a one-word sentence and that one-word sentence is the word ‘Ouch.'"
However, the billionaire said that the stock price didn't reflect the reality of Amazon's business. "The stock is not the company, and the company is not the stock," he said. "All of our internal business metrics — number of customers, profit per unit, everything you can imagine — were getting better and fast."
Despite pressure from Wall Street to prioritize short-term profits, Bezos stuck to his long-term vision. "We didn't need to go back to the capital markets," he said. "We already had the money we needed."

Jeff Bezos Once Watched Amazon's Stock Collapse From $113 To $6, But Held On To The Belief That 'The Stock Is Not The Company' — Here's How He Weathered That Storm

Elon Musk has rockets, robots, AI, and 14 children. That's not a tech empire. That's a family tree with its own launchpad.
And <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44584934/elon-musks-father-defends-tesla-says-son-is-doing-the-right-thing-and-the-stock-would-recover-to-600-by-2025-end-heres-what-analysts-think-about-tsla">according to his dad</a>, Errol Musk, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.
In a <a href="https://www.gbnews.com/news/us/elon-musk-son-errol-father-rumour">February interview with GB News</a>, Errol was asked about reports that his son had fathered a 13th child — a claim that remains unconfirmed. Since then, Musk has appeared to confirm what would be his 14th child, a son named Seldon Lycurgus, born earlier this year with Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Inspired by Uber and Airbnb &#8211; Deloitte's fastest-growing software company is transforming 7 billion smartphones into income-generating assets &#8211; <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">with $1,000 you can invest at just $0.30/share!</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
Zilis shared the news on X, and while Musk didn't make a public statement, he quietly confirmed it with a like—signaling his approval to more than 200 million followers.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia's birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much &#x2665;&#xFE0F;
&mdash; Shivon Zilis (@shivon) <a href="https://twitter.com/shivon/status/1895564582778978426?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 28, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
When asked about the expanding Musk lineage, Errol didn't flinch.
"Elon's not married," he said. "Marriage is what really defines whether you are doing something outside of a relationship. If he is not married, he can do whatever he likes."
No drama. No pearl-clutching. Just a father casually green-lighting global population expansion from the richest man on Earth.
"There's nothing stopping him [from having a child]," he added. "Only so-called morals that don't exist in two-thirds of the world."
Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/a-cure-for-osteoarthritis-powered-by-everyday-investors-cytonics-is-looking-to-beat-big-pharma-and-disrupt-a-390-billion-market"> Invest in Cytonics and help disrupt a $390B Big Pharma stronghold</a>.
And far from being concerned, Errol called the idea of more Musk kids "wonderful."
He even shared a story about meeting a man with 18 wives and 25 kids. Not to be outdone, Errol joked that he claimed to have one wife himself — even though he's not married either.
As for Elon's own family tree, it's a sprawling timeline that includes twins, triplets, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44948798/elon-musks-ex-wife-and-mother-of-5-kids-says-he-declared-im-the-alpha-at-their-wedding-then-had-her-sign-a-postnup-i-trusted-my-husband">children with ex-wife</a> Justine Wilson, singer Grimes, and Zilis. His first child, Nevada, passed away in infancy in 2002.&nbsp;
"He hasn't spoken to me recently," Errol said, when asked if Elon confirmed the child to him. "He doesn't need to."&nbsp;
Still, he said he believes the reports about Elon's 13th child are "absolutely" true — and seemed completely unfazed by the headlines. In fact, he praised modern fertility options, from embryo freezing to gender selection, calling it "absolutely extraordinary."

If They Could Show A Plan For Ending World Hunger He'd Donate $6 Billion – ‘I Will Sell Tesla Stock Right Now And Do It'</a>
He added that he'd be "very happy to have another child," but joked it's all about logistics. "It's really a question of finding the right partner, you know. That's what it really boils down to," he said.&nbsp;
As for his 22 grandchildren? Impressive by most standards — but not to him. Compared to some of the men he's met in the Middle East, Errol said, "I'm a beginner."
And if you're wondering what Errol thinks of any <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44367334/elon-musks-second-ex-wife-says-his-dinner-party-silence-made-people-think-he-was-a-genius-but-he-just-found-the-conversation-really-boring">woman involved in Musk's ever-expanding family</a>?
"If you don't marry the man, you're just another individual," he said. "She can go and have as many children as she likes."
To sum up the Musk family ethos: no ring, no rules — just rocket-fueled reproduction and enough kids to start a startup soccer league.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Arch Capital Group Stock In The Last 20 Years

A lot of people fantasize about what they'd do if they had billionaire money—hire a chef, get a driver, finally stop buying store-brand cereal. Mark Cuban? He's over here clipping virtual coupons and doing his own laundry.
With an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43885487/billionaire-mark-cuban-said-the-first-step-to-getting-rich-is-giving-things-up-drink-water-eat-mac-and-cheese-and-save-every-penny">estimated net worth around $6 billion</a>, you'd think you'd think the entrepreneur might be too busy sailing around on a yacht or bossing around a butler to care about Amazon discounts. But in true Cuban fashion, he says no thanks to all of it—and not for the cameras, but because he genuinely doesn't see the point.
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart &amp; Target – <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">Many are rushing to grab 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for just $0.30/share!</a></li>

</ul>
"I just try to be the same person as I was when I was poor and middle and rich," Cuban told TikTok creator Bobbi Althoff on <a href="https://youtu.be/keN-qiRfU3c?si=fFcKXlGqZuD3OI4-">"The Really Good Podcast"</a> in 2023. "When I was broke, I had a blast. I loved my life. I could wake up smiling, and back then, you just had to not answer the phone because it'd be a bill collector."
Althoff—known for her dry humor and uncomfortable interview setups—met Cuban in a parking garage, where he sat on the floor and casually revealed he doesn't have a butler. "People think you gotta make new friends or you got butlers," he said. When asked directly, he confirmed: "No."
She pushed further—does he do his own laundry? "I'm capable, yeah," Cuban replied. "It takes two seconds. It's just easier."
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.
And Cuban isn't just skimping on hired help. Back in 2017, in an <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/video/watch/mark-cuban-s-guide-to-getting-rich">interview with Vanity Fair</a>, he explained that he literally buys toothpaste in bulk to save money. "It's so hard to make a return on regular investments that… you're better off buying two years' worth of toothpaste when it's on 50% discount," he said. He sees it as an "immediate return on your money."
And it doesn't stop at dental hygiene. "Any <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44065932/mark-cuban-was-asked-how-hed-invest-100k-his-answer-buy-bulk-toothpaste-and-soup-for-the-best-guaranteed-return-on-investment">reusables or consumables</a> that you have to have—when they're on a huge sale on Amazon, buy them," he said. "Because chances are, their prices are going to go up. That's a real savings that you get to put in your pocket."
Even with billionaire status, Cuban still checks his budget every year, looking for ways to trim costs. He's also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/05/39092288/if-you-use-your-credit-card-you-do-not-want-to-be-rich-warns-mark-cuban-on-the-dave-ramsey-show">famously against credit card debt</a>, advises people to save six months' worth of expenses, and encourages old-school, face-to-face negotiation. "If you're going to take a yoga class and they want to charge you $30, say, ‘I got $20,'" he told Vanity Fair. "They're gonna take it. Negotiating with cash is a far better way to get a return on your investment."

As for hanging out with other billionaires? He knows a few. But most of his friends, he told Althoff, are the same ones he's had since Pittsburgh, Indiana, or early Dallas days. The people who knew him long before the billions.
Cuban's not against wealth—he just doesn't need to flaunt it. "The whole idea of like, get a yacht… it's just not what I would do," he said.
There's a reason Mark Cuban still comes across like a guy you could run into at Costco—and maybe ask for toothpaste tips while you're at it.

UnitedHealth Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) has fallen nearly 50% over the past month, fueled by a series of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45388424/stock-of-the-day-where-will-the-unitedhealth-meltdown-end">negative catalysts. </a>
Several analysts have slashed price targets on the stock, but one analyst has seen enough and downgraded UnitedHealth on Wednesday.&nbsp;
What To Know: BofA Securities analyst Kevin Fischbeck downgraded UnitedHealth Group from Buy to Neutral and slashed the price target from $560 to $350 after the company pulled its 2025 outlook and announced a CEO transition on Tuesday.

UnitedHealth pulled<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance"> its guidance</a> after the company noticed its Medicare Advantage trend worsening and spreading to more complex patients, like dual enrollments. The analyst said the worsening trend became clear after UnitedHealth completed its March claims and had an early look at April's claims. 
Fischbeck views the health care giant&#8217;s decision to pull its fiscal guidance as a combination of uncertainty around the prevalence of higher utilization rates and to allow time for the incoming CEO to adjust.&nbsp;
Andrew Witty unexpectedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45370370/unitedhealth-group-announces-leadership-transition">resigned </a>as CEO "due to personal reasons" on Tuesday and will be succeeded by Stephen J. Hemsley, who served as UnitedHealth's CEO from 2006 to 2017. 
What Else: UnitedHealth shareholders<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45305392/unitedhealth-investors-claim-company-hid-profit-impact-of-ceos-murder"> filed a lawsuit</a> last week that alleges the company misled investors by concealing the negative business impacts that followed the December 2024 killing of UnitedHealthcare <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43887520/luigi-mangione-back-in-court-friday-supporters-donate-500k-to-suspected-killer">CEO Brian Thompson.</a>
The company is still reeling from a major cyberattack on its Change Healthcare subsidiary and also faces intense regulatory and legal scrutiny, including federal investigations into its Medicare billing practices.
The recent convergence of disappointing earnings, surging medical costs, pulled forward guidance, abrupt leadership change and regulatory challenges have undermined investor confidence and triggered a dramatic revaluation of UnitedHealth stock over the past month.&nbsp;
UNH Stock Price Action: UnitedHealth Group shares ended Wednesday's session down 1.08% at $308.01, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.
