Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is throwing out big incentives to move cars, but not everyone is impressed. In fact, longtime Tesla investor Ross Gerber is openly mocking the company&#8217;s latest moves.

According to another Tesla investor, Sawyer Merritt, the electric vehicle company is offering its brand-new 2024 Model 3 Performance vehicles for just $41,490, a price that already includes the $7,500 federal EV credit. Buyers also get 10% off, 0% APR financing, and a free transfer of Full Self-Driving capabilities. Deep Blue Metallic and Pearl White paint colors, along with a white interior, are now included at no extra cost.
Merritt highlighted the offer <a href="https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1915962973979320647">on X</a>, calling it &#8220;a lot of value for the money.&#8221; But Gerber had a different reaction, <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1916165487614169145?t=MYU7mzO-E3ofqSdfEstm8Q&amp;s=03">posting</a>, &#8220;Someone please come buy a Tesla.

Adding to his criticism, Gerber also mocked <a href="https://x.com/TeslaNewswire/status/1916373191745823071">reports</a> of a cheaper Tesla Model Y rumored to launch in July. He sarcastically <a href="https://x.com/GerberKawasaki/status/1916508272770924653">described it as</a> &#8220;Just 4 wheels and you sit on the battery. Amazing innovation!

In a Schwab Network <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcOVZf7FWEg&amp;t=97s">interview</a>, Gerber said Musk&#8217;s public image is hurting Tesla, explaining that consumers &#8220;need to feel good&#8221; about buying a Tesla. Instead, he said people are afraid of the controversy attached to the brand.
&#8220;The woes seem to just keep adding up, and the stock has come back to earth because the Musk positive has been offset now with Musk negative,&#8221; he said.
Gerber also said Musk&#8217;s &#8220;huge bet&#8221; on President Donald Trump has backfired. &#8220;The perception at the time was like this is going to be great for Tesla, but now that he&#8217;s there, it&#8217;s how is this good, and it turns out it&#8217;s not good at all. And now people are burning Teslas,&#8221; he told Schwab Network.
While Gerber still holds Tesla stock, he warns the company needs to meet Wall Street's 2025 earnings expectations to avoid a bigger drop. Otherwise, he says, &#8220;Tesla could go meaningfully lower.&#8221;

'Someone Please Come Buy A Tesla. Anyone...' Says Ross Gerber As He Mocks Tesla's Desperate Incentives

Most people, when their spouse asks for a minivan, grab a Honda or a Chrysler and call it a day. Not Mark Zuckerberg. He grabbed a Porsche — and then redesigned it to fit his wife's wish list.
In October, the Meta CEO shared the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAzDZ1-RCTB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link">project on Instagram</a>, kicking off what he called a "new side quest." His caption read:
"New side quest. Priscilla wanted a minivan, so I've been designing something I'm pretty sure should exist: a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan. Threw in a manual GT3 Touring to make it his and hers. Thanks @porsche and @westcoastcustoms for helping to make this happen."

</ul>
Not everyone dreams of driving a minivan — and Zuckerberg clearly wasn't about to settle for one either. Instead, he set out to create something practical enough for a growing family but still cool enough to park next to a row of supercars.
Since Porsche doesn't make a minivan, Zuckerberg teamed up with West Coast Customs — the shop made famous by Pimp My Ride — to turn a Cayenne Turbo GT into a one-of-a-kind family hauler. They stretched the wheelbase, added power sliding doors, installed a third row of seats, and gave it the sort of swagger minivans usually don't get.
And because one custom Porsche wasn't enough, Zuckerberg added a second to the garage. He picked up a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring in the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-priscilla-chan-porsche-turbo-gt-cayenne-minivan-2024-10">same Crayon gray color</a>, creating a matching "his-and-hers" set — one for hauling kids, one for hauling… well, everything else.

It's the kind of move that's part practical, part flex — and very on brand for Zuckerberg, who's no stranger to big gestures. Earlier in 2024, he <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C-naZ9NvQNu/">commissioned a marble statue</a> of Chan, a nod to ancient Roman traditions. The Instagram caption read, "Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife." Apparently, custom Porsches and statues both make the gift list.
Interestingly, Porsche once toyed with the idea of a minivan too — though theirs stayed tucked safely in the concept garage. In 2020, the company <a href="https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2021/innovation/porsche-interior-future-ux-vision-renndienst-25042.html">unveiled the Vision "Renndienst,"</a> a futuristic, family-friendly space designed to seat up to six people. It was first dreamed up in 2018 and even got a full-size model, but Porsche never moved forward with production. So while Zuckerberg's creation might seem out of left field, he's not the first to wonder what a Porsche minivan could actually look like.
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44968787/mark-zuckerbergs-wife-priscilla-chans-tuition-free-school-to-shutdown-50-million-support-pledged-for">Zuckerberg and Chan</a> — who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43506632/mark-zuckerberg-once-told-sam-altman-that-the-most-painful-moment-in-his-life-was-not-rejecting-a-1">met at Harvard</a> and married in 2012 — the matching cars are just another page in their story. They share three daughters: Maxima, August, and Aurelia. While Zuckerberg's usual daily driver is reportedly a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, his newly customized Cayenne minivan might be the most famous family car on the internet right now.
And if Porsche ever decides it's time to actually build a minivan, they might want to give Zuckerberg a consulting fee.

Mark Zuckerberg Says His Wife Wanted a Minivan — So He Designed a Porsche He's 'Pretty Sure Should Exist' And Made It a His-and-Hers Set

Before Amazon changed how the world shops, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43732107/they-wouldnt-let-me-anywhere-near-customers-jeff-bezos-cracked-300-eggs-a-shift-working-at-mcdonalds-during-his-acned-teenager-stage">Jeff Bezos had a very different morning routine</a> — and it didn't involve green juice or high-protein smoothies.
Speaking at <a href="https://youtu.be/Hq89wYzOjfs?si=e1h4kc-6mEY6Y-Td">Summit 2017 in Los Angeles</a>, Bezos recalled the years before Amazon's launch when he would routinely eat an entire can of Pillsbury biscuits for breakfast, sometimes adding butter on top.
"I had never read a nutrition label in my life," Bezos admitted during the interview, sitting alongside his brother, Mark Bezos. "I ate what tasted good to me."

</ul>
At the time of the interview, Bezos was already in great shape — but he was reflecting back on the early 1990s, before Amazon was even an idea. For a few years, he stuck to the same breakfast ritual without ever thinking twice.
Then came MacKenzie Scott.
After they married, she watched him go through the same routine every morning for about three months. One day, she finally said, "Do you know what's in that?"
They ended up reading the ingredients together and had a long discussion about it. After that conversation, Bezos stopped eating the biscuits. Mark joked during the interview that he was just glad Jeff survived it.
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
At the time, nutrition wasn't exactly top of mind. Bezos's focus was speed, efficiency, and saving brainpower for bigger challenges — the same no-frills mentality that would soon drive Amazon's early, relentless expansion.
As Amazon scaled up, so did Bezos's appetite for the unfamiliar — literally and figuratively.
In a story reported by <a href="https://www.geekwire.com/2014/jeff-bezos-octopus-breakfast/">GeekWire</a>, detailing an excerpt from <a href="https://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/2014/july/matt-rutledge-woot-has-a-new-deal-mediocre-corporation/">D Magazine's profile of Matt Rutledge</a>, Bezos met with Woot founder Rutledge for breakfast after Amazon acquired Woot for $110 million in 2010. When it came time to order, Bezos chose Mediterranean octopus.
When Rutledge asked why Amazon had bought Woot, Bezos reportedly answered:
"You're the octopus that I'm having for breakfast. When I look at the menu, you're the thing I don't understand, the thing I've never had. I must have the breakfast octopus."
The comment wasn't just colorful — it revealed Bezos's philosophy about business: seek out what you don't yet understand, embrace what others might find odd, and invest where others hesitate.
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
That same thinking helped Amazon move beyond books and into everything from cloud computing to groceries, creating a company that would eventually touch almost every corner of modern life.
Bezos's willingness to explore unfamiliar territory, take calculated risks, and bet long-term helped him become the richest man in the world for several years. Today, he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44857928/jeff-bezos-sells-seattle-mansion-for-record-63-million-after-move-to-floridas-billionaire-bunker">remains one of the wealthiest and most influential figures</a> in business.
His personal life reflects that same evolution.
Gone are the biscuit breakfasts. In his 60s, Bezos works out nearly every day with celebrity trainer Wes Okerson, focusing on strength training, low-impact cardio, and outdoor sports like paddleboarding. His body fat percentage is reportedly around 12% to 14%, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/03/44550460/jeff-bezos-italian-wedding-guest-list-and-plans-kim-kardashian-donald-trump-bill-gates-oprah-winfrey-get-reported-invites">his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez</a>, often jokes that he's a "monster" in the gym.
From biscuits to breakfast octopus to barbells, Bezos's journey shows that transformation — in life and in business — often starts by paying attention to what you once ignored.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos Ate a Can of Pillsbury Biscuits Every Morning Until His Wife Stepped In — 'I Had Never Read a Nutrition Label in My Life'

President Donald Trump deflects blame for the U.S. economy's 0.3% contraction in the first quarter onto his predecessor, despite clear evidence indicating otherwise.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Trump posted on Truth Social, blaming former President Joe Biden for the country&#8217;s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracting by 0.3% during the first quarter. This marks the first GDP contraction for the country in three years.
Trump, who assumed office on Jan. 20, 2025, claimed in the post that &#8220;This is Biden's stock market, not Trump's,&#8221; and insisted the contraction &#8220;has nothing to do with the tariffs.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="602" height="295" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30223919/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.38.55.png" alt="" class="wp-image-896078" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30223919/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.38.55.png 602w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/30223919/Screenshot-2025-05-01-at-11.38.55-300x147.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px" /></figure>

He further predicts a boom once tariffs take effect, saying they would drive companies to relocate to the U.S. in record numbers, but argued the economy must first shake off the Biden-era &#8220;overhang.&#8221;
That claim, however, contradicts <a href="https://www.bea.gov/sites/default/files/2025-04/hist1q25-adv.pdf">data</a> from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, which attributes the first-quarter GDP decline largely to a 41.3% surge in imports. This occurred even as consumer spending slowed to 1.8% growth, down from 4% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
This clearly points towards a pre-tariff import surge, with Robin Brooks of the Brookings Institution saying that the ballooning imports and swelling inventories <a href="https://benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45100047/recession-odds-spike-wall-street-tumbles-as-q1-gdp-surprisingly-contracts-be-patient-trump-responds">reflect a widespread effort</a> to front-run the tariffs.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) seeing massive stockpiling ahead of the tariffs. 
Others, such as investor Mark Cuban, have repeatedly <a href="https://benzinga.com/25/03/44271394/goldman-sees-copper-imports-frontrunning-tariffs-as-fcx-positions-to-benefit">urged Americans to stock up</a> on essentials, warning that even the prices of American-made goods will soon begin to rise.

Trump Blames GDP Contraction On Biden 'Overhang': 'Nothing To Do With The Tariffs'

On Wednesday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest executed significant trades involving Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>), Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), and Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>). 
The Palantir Trade
Ark Invest made a notable move by selling shares of Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) across ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#BATS">ARKW</a>) and ARK Space Exploration &amp; Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKX#BATS">ARKX</a>). The sale involved 19,005 shares in ARKW and 3,375 shares in ARKX. With Palantir&#8217;s stock closing at $118.44, the total value of the shares sold amounted to approximately $2.65 million. Palantir has been in the spotlight due to its recent defense contracts and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45113101/palantir-stock-is-up-55-ytd-heading-into-earnings-next-week-whats-going-on">upcoming earnings report</a> on May 5. The company has been actively involved in the TITAN program, delivering systems to the U.S. Army, which has contributed to its stock&#8217;s 55% year-to-date increase. 
The AMD Trade
Ark Invest also increased its stake in Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) through ARK Innovation ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#BATS">ARKK</a>) and ARKW. The firm purchased 106,769 shares in ARKK and 12,349 shares in ARKW, totaling a value of approximately $11.56 million, with AMD&#8217;s stock closing at $97.35. This move comes amid industry discussions about Huawei&#8217;s development of an AI chip, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/04/45052912/whats-going-on-with-advanced-micro-devices-stock-monday">potentially challenging competitors</a>. Despite this, AMD continues to be a key player in the semiconductor industry. Notably, Ark has made AMD purchases <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/04/45089384/cathie-wood-bets-against-mark-zuckerbergs-meta-ahead-of-crucial-earnings-report-loads-up-on-this-amazon-rival">throughout this week</a> so far. The company loaded up on $3.79 million worth of shares on Monday and another $747,923 worth on Tuesday.
The Shopify Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s purchase of 12,632 shares of Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NASDAQ">SHOP</a>) through its ARKW ETF reflects a strategic investment in the e-commerce sector. With SHOP&#8217;s stock closing at $95.00, the transaction was valued at approximately $1.2 million. Shopify faces new challenges due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44640798/trump-ends-de-minimis-exemptions-shopify-bigcommerce-and-lightspeed-face-new-headwinds">changes in trade policies</a>, impacting e-commerce platforms.

What Happened: Bitcoin tumbled below $92,000 in the early trading hours on first-quarter GDP contraction but eventually recovered to the mid-$94,000s by evening.
Ethereum followed a similar pattern, reversing early losses with the evening push.
Bitcoin was set to end April with gains of over 14%, a marked reversal from the 14% decline in the same period last year. Ethereum, on the other hand, dipped 1.22% in April.
About $343 million was liquidated from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with long liquidations accounting for over $211 million
Bitcoin&#8217;s Open Interest fell 0.69% in the last 24 hours, although April saw a healthy 18% jump in money invested in its derivatives. Meanwhile, more than 50% of Binance traders with open BTC positions were bearish on the asset.
The market sentiment flipped from "Greed" to "Neutral," according to the Crypto Fear and Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant highlighted the new all-time high in Bitcoin's realized capitalization, at over $880 billion.
"Historically, large accumulations of realized capitalization have been mostly followed by considerable price increases in Bitcoin," CryptoQuant stated. It added that the price could see an "explosion" if the accumulations continue.
Realized capitalization measures the total acquisition cost of all coins in circulation, as opposed to the market capitalization, which uses the current price.

Cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez identified $95,870 as a significant level for Bitcoin, with a breach potentially sparking a run to new all-time highs.
"If Bitcoin breaks and holds above $95,870, the next key target, based on the MVRV Pricing Bands, is $114,230," Martinez projected.
MVRV, a shorthand for Market Value to Realized Value, is a ratio used to assess the value of a cryptocurrency by comparing its current market value to its realized value.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Muted, Dogecoin Dips After Q1 GDP Contraction: Analyst Foresees BTC's Rally To $114,000 If It Breaks This Ceiling

Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) board reportedly began searching for a successor to Elon Musk after the company faced significant financial setbacks.&nbsp;
What Happened: About a month ago, the board reached out to executive search firms to formalize a process for selecting a new CEO, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/tesla-musk-ceo-search-board-0ce61af9?mod=e2tw">reported</a> the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the discussion.
Musk, who has led Tesla for nearly two decades, was reportedly spending considerable time in Washington, D.C., assisting with the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump.
Musk did not push back, the report said, and the board told him he needed to devote more time to Tesla and publicly commit to doing so.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Tesla reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44937440/tesla-q1-misses-estimates-as-tariff-pressures-weigh-on-outlook-lower-cost-evs-still-on-track">first-quarter revenue</a> of $19.34 billion, marking a 9% decline compared to the previous year. This figure fell short of the Street&#8217;s consensus estimate of $21.35 billion.
During the earnings call, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44945402/wedbushs-dan-ives-raises-teslas-price-target-to-350-as-musk-promises-to-significantly-reduce-doge-time">Musk announced</a>, "Starting probably next month, in May, my time allocation to DOGE will drop significantly."
On Wednesday, Alexandra Merz, who is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37474203/elon-musk-thanks-tesla-shareholders-after-they-write-to-delaware-court-against-voiding-his-56b-pay-p">one of Tesla&#8217;s shareholders</a>, took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, Tesla filed an amendment to its annual 10-K, providing details about board and executive compensation, rather than the anticipated proxy statement with shareholder meeting dates and agendas.
This suggests a potential delay in the meeting.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

In the filing, Tesla stated, &#8220;The Board of Directors has not yet established the date of the 2025 annual meeting of shareholders. When the date is established, the Company will announce it in its filings made with the SEC.&#8221;
Price Action: During Wednesday's regular session, Tesla shares fell by 3.38%, but showed a slight rebound in after-hours trading, rising by 0.13%. Year-to-date, the stock is still down 25.61%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.

Tesla Board Explored Replacing Elon Musk As Tesla CEO A Month Ago: Report

Following a U.S. court ruling that found Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) violated the spirit of an injunction against <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/08/40423388/epic-games-mobile-store-goes-live-in-europe-ceo-says-apple-had-to-be-challenged">anti-steering practices</a>, Epic Games, backed by Tencent Holdings (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TCEHY#OTC">TCEHY</a>), has offered to bring Fortnite back to the App Store if the tech giant fulfills this one condition.
What Happened: On Wednesday, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ordered Apple to cease collecting commissions on purchases made outside its App Store and to stop blocking developers from linking to alternative payment methods, <a href="https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/05/01/fortnite-could-return-to-apple-app-store-if-apple-accepts-epic-peace-proposal">reported</a> AppleInsider.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney extended a striking offer to Apple via X after the court decision.

Why It's Important: To meet Epic's conditions, Apple would need to stop earning revenue from any purchases made outside the App Store worldwide and lift its restrictions on external payment links, the report said.
Doing so could lead to a noticeable reduction in Apple's lucrative commission income. Fortnite would be free to download, and Apple would receive no revenue from it beyond the standard $100 annual developer fee.
On Thursday, Apple could post <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45117801/apple-q2-earnings-preview-analysts-remain-bullish-with-caution-of-tariff-tornado-hitting-iphone">stronger-than-expected results</a> for its iPhone business and performance in China when it releases its second-quarter earnings. Wall Street expects the tech giant to report $94.42 billion in revenue for the quarter, up from $90.75 billion during the same period last year.
Price Action: Apple shares have fallen 12.86% year-to-date in 2025 but are still up 24.76% over the past 12 months. On Wednesday, the stock rose 0.61% during regular trading but slipped 1.65% after hours, closing at $209, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
In Benzinga Edge's Stock Rankings, Apple earns a growth score of 44.64% and a momentum score of 74.99%. <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 top tech stocks</a>.

Apple Ordered To Ease App Store Rules In US — Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney Proposes Peace Deal, Saying 'We'll Return Fortnite' And Drop All Litigation Only If...

Peter Lynch, former manager of the Fidelity Magellan Fund and one of the most respected investors of the 20th century, once confessed that his greatest investing error was selling successful stocks too early.&nbsp;
What Happened: An X user shared an extract from the 2017 Forbes India Collectors Edition, in which Lynch described a surprising phone call he received decades earlier.
"My daughter picks up the phone and says, ‘It's Mr. Buffett on the line,'" Lynch wrote. "And I pick up the phone and I hear, ‘This is Warren Buffett from Omaha, Nebraska.'"
Lynch said Warren Buffett was calling to ask permission to quote a line from his book "One Up On Wall Street" in his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42666459/warren-buffett-once-called-berkshire-the-opposite-of-those-who-hurry-to-sell-now-hes-offloading-apple-and-snapping-up-occidental-petroleum-amid-a-20-drop">year-end shareholder letter</a>.

The quote Buffett wanted? "Selling your winners and holding your losers is like cutting the flowers and watering the weeds."
"That one line he picked up in my whole book has been the greatest mistake," Lynch admitted.

Why It's Important: According to Celebrity Net <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/wall-street/peter-lynch-net-worth/">Worth</a>, Lynch currently has a net worth of around $450 million. Buffett, on the other hand, is ranked fourth on Bloomberg's Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a> with a net worth of $167 billion.
Lynch isn't the only prominent figure to reflect on missed gains from selling too early. Several high-profile investors and tech leaders have voiced similar regrets.
Bill Gates once called Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) decision to sell its early stake in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) "foolish."&nbsp;
In 1997, Microsoft invested $150 million in the struggling rival, acquiring roughly 5% of the company. By 2003, it had exited the position for around $550 million—a sizable return at the time, but a fraction of what that stake would be worth today.
Masayoshi Son, founder of SoftBank Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) (OTCL: SFTBY), also admitted to a major misstep in unloading shares of chipmaker Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>). Son sold SoftBank's stake after a modest gain, missing out on the stock's meteoric rise in the AI boom.
Even in the crypto world, David Schwartz, chief technology officer at Ripple, revealed he sold 40,000 Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) at just $1.05 each, netting around $40,000 to buy solar panels. At today's prices, that decision cost him millions.
Schwartz has since called the move one of his biggest financial regrets.

Peter Lynch Once Revealed Existence Of A One Liner So Loved By Warren Buffett That The Oracle Of Omaha Called Him To Borrow It: 'The One Line He Picked…Has Been The Greatest Mistake'

The United States and Ukraine have entered into an agreement to jointly invest in Ukraine&#8217;s mineral resources, oil, and gas sectors. This move reportedly fulfills a key request from the White House and provides crucial support to Ukraine.
What Happened: The newly established &#8220;United States-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund&#8221; will facilitate collaboration between the two nations to boost Ukraine&#8217;s economic recovery. According to a Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/">report</a> on Wednesday, Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, highlighted the agreement&#8217;s importance in demonstrating the U.S. commitment to a free and prosperous Ukraine.
He said, &#8220;This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump Administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term.&#8221;
Yulia Svyrydenko, Ukraine&#8217;s Minister of Economy, emphasized that the agreement reflects the U.S.&#8217;s dedication to Ukraine&#8217;s security and recovery. The document, seen by The Washington Post, underscores a strategic alignment between the countries, though it lacks specific security guarantees.
The agreement notably excludes&nbsp;the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant,&nbsp;which was seized by Russia in 2022. U.S. officials have suggested&nbsp;taking control of the plant&nbsp;in a future peace deal. Ukraine&#8217;s initial proposal under President&nbsp;Volodymyr Zelensky&nbsp;was revised after disagreements over security and financial terms.
The latest draft addresses Ukraine&#8217;s concerns about compliance with European Union laws and removes language requiring reimbursement for past U.S. military aid. Despite uncertainties, the deal is seen as a symbolic gesture of support, with private sector investment still needed for Ukraine&#8217;s mineral projects.
Alex Jacquez, a senior Biden-era minerals official, said that while Ukraine has deposits of a &#8220;variety of critical minerals&#8221; their valuation was largely imaginary.
&#8220;There is a reason few of these mining projects are actually being developed outside of China — under current economic conditions, it makes little sense for investors,&#8221; said Jacquez.
