$1000 Invested In This Stock 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

Knowing your worth and having the courage to invest in yourself are two critical traits for anyone seeking success in life. Perhaps there is no better example of this than boxing great Floyd &#8220;Money" Mayweather, who parlayed a $750,000<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/high-return-investments"> investment</a> in himself into a $400 million boxing and promotional empire.&nbsp;
Mayweather told <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2015/05/02/boxings-greatest-investment-floyd-mayweathers-750000-bet-on-himself/?sh=47711a111e04">Forbes</a> the story of how he earned his nickname. It all started in 1996, when Mayweather turned pro after winning a bronze medal in the Olympics. Mayweather, who comes from a family of famous boxers, had sublime boxing skills but lacked the connections and know-how to stage and promote professional prize fights. So, he did what most fighters in his situation did back then..

</ul>
He signed a contract with Bob Arum's Top Rank Promotions. Arum was a very well-respected promoter with a proven track record of staging lucrative fights. Through his career, Arum had made numerous fighters wealthy, and Mayweather was no exception. By 1998, Arum had guided Mayweather to a spotless 18-0 record and a world championship.
Arum's career guiding fighters to superstardom included stints managing legends like Muhammad Ali and Oscar De La Hoya. It looked like Mayweather was the next one. By 2005, Arum had featured Mayweather in two high-grossing pay-per-view fights against Arturo Gatti Jr and Zab Judah. According to Forbes, both fights drew over 350,000 views, and the promotions were wildly successful for Top Rank. Forbes also estimates Mayweather earned about $3 million per fight.
It wasn't chump change by any means, but Mayweather wanted more. Arum was paying him well, but Mayweather believed that earning $3 million was small change compared to the money Arum and Top Rank were making off 350,000 pay-per-view buys. Mayweather knew that he, not Arum, was the main draw for any pay-per-view fight and believed he could earn nine figures by managing his career and promoting his fights without Arum.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
There was a clause in Mayweather's Top Rank contract allowing him to become a free agent for $750,000. Mayweather paid the fee and linked up with Al Haymon, a well-known concert promoter, and trainer Leonard Ellerbe, to form Mayweather Promotions. Ellerbe, who was CEO of Mayweather Promotions until 2024, told Forbes, "Floyd wanted to take his career in a new direction. Floyd walked into Top Rank's office, handed them a check, and the rest is history."
Mayweather's instincts proved correct. Even though his first Mayweather Promotions fight only netted 325,000 views, Mayweather still made $8 million. That was more than double what he was earning at Top Rank. Mayweather hit the big time in 2007, when his fight with De La Hoya netted 2.48 million pay-per-view buys and generated $137 million. Mayweather earned $25 million for the fight when his pay-per-view share was calculated.
Mayweather earned at least $25 million for his next ten fights, mostly because Mayweather Promotions was plugged into every possible revenue stream. Mayweather was getting his money off the top instead of waiting until his promoter deducted all the expenses first and paid him last. Then Mayweather signed an eight-fight deal with HBO in 2013 that would pay him a minimum of $32 million per fight.&nbsp;

Mayweather's next big payday came in 2013, when he fought Canelo Alvarez. According to Forbes, the Mayweather vs. Alvarez fight netted 2.25 million pay-per-view buys and earned an astonishing $130 million. Mayweather reportedly earned $41.5 million for his work in the ring, plus another $30 million cut of the pay-per-view money. By the time Mayweather retired, he had a 50-0 record, and Forbes estimates his fights generated $871 million in revenue.
Forbes also estimates that Mayweather has personally netted around $420 million in earnings and that roughly 90% of it came to him after the split with Top Rank. He also has a passive income stream because Mayweather Promotions still handles fighters. It all started with Mayweather knowing his worth and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/news/25/05/45457595/1000-invested-in-this-stock-15-years-ago-would-be-worth-this-much-today"> investing in himself</a>. Ellerbe told Forbes, "It is the best investment in the history of sports."

Boxing Great Floyd Mayweather Jr's Greatest Investment – How He Turned $750K Into $400M

Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WOLF#NYSE">WOLF</a>) shares plunged on Wednesday following a report that the company is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as it struggles <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/05/45541882/wolfspeed-stock-is-tumbling-wednesday-whats-going-on">with a mountain of debt.&nbsp;</a>
Unusual options activity was spotted Tuesday afternoon before the report was released.&nbsp;
What To Know: A Wall Street Journal report released after the closing bell on Tuesday triggered a massive sell-off that continued throughout Wednesday's session. Notably, options traders bought a large volume of put options on Wolfspeed ahead of the reports of a bankruptcy.&nbsp;

In fact, Tuesday's net premium was negative $3.7 million. Traders spent $3.7 million more buying options than they received selling them, indicating a strong belief the stock would fall sharply — before the report of a possible bankruptcy was made public.&nbsp;
Unusual Whales, an anonymous social media account, pointed out in a post on X that traders were betting heavily that Wolfspeed stock would crash. And they did so in unusually large amounts just before the bankruptcy news became public.

The post suggests that some traders may have had advance knowledge of the bankruptcy plans, a situation that often attracts regulatory scrutiny.&nbsp;
Those who bought puts before the news stood to make substantial profits from the stock's collapse.

$1000 Invested In Elevance Health 15 Years Ago Would Be Worth This Much Today

"At some point you have to be financially responsible," luxury watch collector Olivier Paredes told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/middle-class-economy-wealth-luxury-shopping-consumers-spending-retail-2025-5">Business Insider</a> in early May. He was sharing why he&#8217;s stepping back from his five-year habit of splurging on luxury watches.&nbsp;
Sudden price hikes doubled tags on brands like Rolex and Omega, popping the pandemic-era spending bubble and driving a record 50 million aspirational shoppers out of the roughly $392 billion personal luxury goods market.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why The Bubble Popped</h2>
The global personal luxury goods market shrank 2% year-over-year in 2024, according to a <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/luxury-in-transition-securing-future-growth">Bain &amp; Co. report</a>, marking its first contraction in 15 years, excluding the COVID-19 pandemic period.

</ul>
In 2024, global luxury spending remained steady at approximately €1.5 trillion ($1.7 trillion), marking one of the weakest years since the Great Recession, according to <a href="https://www.bain.com/insights/luxury-in-transition-securing-future-growth">Bain</a>. As a result, the personal luxury goods market dipped to €363 billion, reflecting a 2% decline compared to 2023 at current exchange rates, though flat at constant exchange rates.&nbsp;
Over the past two years, the global luxury customer base has shrunk by about 50 million consumers, driven by economic uncertainty, elevated prices, and reduced engagement from younger generations.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Middle-Income Retreat</h2>
Middle-income households—defined by <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/09/16/are-you-in-the-american-middle-class/#:~:text=We%20use%20your%20size%2Dadjusted,and%20expressed%20in%202022%20dollars.)">Pew Research Center</a> as those earning between $56,600 and $169,800 annually—have retrenched after pandemic-era YOLO spending surges.&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/middle-class-economy-wealth-luxury-shopping-consumers-spending-retail-2025-5">According to Business Insider,</a> one handbag enthusiast who used to shell out nearly $20,000 a year says she's trimmed her budget to $6,000, pointing to doubled sticker prices for top bag brands over the last five years.&nbsp;
Paredes himself poured about $70,000 into high-end timepieces over five years before deciding it was time to focus on more pressing financial goals.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Price vs Paycheck</h2>
Over the past five years, <a href="https://www.bls.gov/regions/mid-atlantic/data/consumerpriceindexhistorical_us_table.htm?">U.S. consumer prices</a> have increased by about 25.5%, while average <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CES0500000003?utm">hourly wages </a>for private-sector workers have risen roughly 29.8%, according to federal data. Although wages have slightly outpaced <a href="https://www.bls.gov/cpi">inflation</a>, the gains have done little to ease the strain on discretionary budgets.&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to Primerica, <a href="https://investors.primerica.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/344/national-survey-middle-income-americans-grapple-with?utm">69% of middle-class consumers</a> feel their income is falling behind the cost of living, and 71% rate their ability to save for the future as "poor" or "not so good." Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.census.gov/retail/sales.html">U.S. retail sales </a>rose a scant 0.1% in April, underscoring consumer caution.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Next For Luxury</h2>
"We're finally seeing a limit to the ‘you only live once' urge to splurge," said Ted Rossman, senior industry analyst at Bankrate. In a recent <a href="https://www.bankrate.com/credit-cards/news/discretionary-spending-survey/">survey</a>, he noted that more than half of U.S. adults expect to reduce spending on discretionary items like travel, dining out, and entertainment—attributing the shift to fading post-pandemic demand and ongoing inflation.
This ties into a Feb. 9 <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/featured-insights/themes/whats-next-for-luxury">McKinsey &amp; Co.</a> report revealing a sharp slowdown in the luxury market, even hitting top brands.&nbsp;

There could be plenty of good to come <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">from artificial intelligence,</a> including search results and fact-finding on the web.
While artificial intelligence can help write stories, a newspaper found out the hard way that it's important to check the work of a writer, even if it's a computer.
What Happened: The Chicago Sun-Times newspaper released a "Summer Reading lLst for 2025" as part of its "Best of Summer" section. The list ended up being made-up book titles from real authors and even later tricked Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>)(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>)-owned <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45536887/this-is-the-first-time-in-two-decades-that-google-is-extremely-vulnerableperplexitys-ceo-breaks-down-search-giants-margin-trap">Google search engine.</a>
The entire list was made up by using artificial intelligence, as <a href="https://www.404media.co/chicago-sun-times-prints-ai-generated-summer-reading-list-with-books-that-dont-exist/">reported </a>by 404 Media.
For example, a book on the list was titled "Tidewater" by Isabel Allende and included a description of the book.
The book list was written by Marco Buscaglia, according to the report.
"I do use AI for background at times but always check out the material first. This time, I did not and I can't believe I missed it because it's so obvious. No excuses," Buscaglia told 404 Media.
Buscaglia told 404 Media the error was on them "100 percent," and they were embarrassed by the mistake.
404 Media found that other sections of the Best of Summer Heat Index special featured AI-generated sections. Quotes from experts appear to be made up or from people who are not real experts in their respective fields.
"We are looking into how this made it into print as we speak. It is not editorial content and was not created by, or approved by, the Sun-Times newsroom. We value your trust in our reporting and take this very seriously," the newspaper, which is owned by non-profit Chicago Public Media, said on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/chicago.suntimes.com/post/3lpmbre5edk2a?ref=404media.co">Bluesky</a>.

Why It's Important: While many of the book titles and stories listed in the summer reading list were fake, web crawling done by Google search showed the books to be real.
404 Media shows a search for "Tidewater Dreams Isabel Allende" on Google. A previous search shows the AI Overview at the top of the search results to show that this title is a book by Isabel Allende, a collection of short stories. Allende is a real author. 
"The stories explore theme of love, loss, and the power of memory, often featuring strong female characters and a mystical, almost magical realism style," the description on Google reads.
Allende never wrote a book titled "Tidewater Dreams."
Searching for the same four words — "Tidewater Dreams Isabel Allende" — today reveals a much different result.
Google's new AI Mode says the search "likely refers to a fabricated book title that was included in an AI-generated summer reading list published in several newspapers."
Google says the book title is not a recognized literary work.
While Google has corrected the error in search results, the national newsletter publishing a fake list of books gave some credibility to the titles that helped them briefly appear in Google search results.
An important reminder that not everything you read on the internet is true and not everything that appears in Google searches is true. It's always important to check and verify sources and, in some cases, look for more than one source.

<h2>Delving into Alphabet's Background</h2>
Alphabet is a holding company that wholly owns internet giant Google. The California-based company derives slightly less than 90% of its revenue from Google services, the vast majority of which is advertising sales. Alongside online ads, Google services houses sales stemming from Google's subscription services (YouTube TV, YouTube Music among others), platforms (sales and in-app purchases on Play Store), and devices (Chromebooks, Pixel smartphones, and smart home products such as Chromecast). Google's cloud computing platform, or GCP, accounts for roughly 10% of Alphabet's revenue with the firm's investments in up-and-coming technologies such as self-driving cars (Waymo), health (Verily), and internet access (Google Fiber) making up the rest.
<h3>Breaking Down Alphabet's Financial Performance</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: The company's market capitalization is above the industry average, indicating that it is relatively larger in size compared to peers. This may suggest a higher level of investor confidence and market recognition.
Revenue Growth: Alphabet's revenue growth over a period of 3M has been noteworthy. As of 31 March, 2025, the company achieved a revenue growth rate of approximately 12.04%. This indicates a substantial increase in the company's top-line earnings. In comparison to its industry peers, the company stands out with a growth rate higher than the average among peers in the Communication Services sector.
Net Margin: Alphabet's net margin surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 38.28% net margin, the company effectively manages costs and achieves strong profitability.
Return on Equity (ROE): Alphabet's financial strength is reflected in its exceptional ROE, which exceeds industry averages. With a remarkable ROE of 10.3%, the company showcases efficient use of equity capital and strong financial health.
Return on Assets (ROA): Alphabet's ROA stands out, surpassing industry averages. With an impressive ROA of 7.46%, the company demonstrates effective utilization of assets and strong financial performance.
Debt Management: The company maintains a balanced debt approach with a debt-to-equity ratio below industry norms, standing at 0.07.
<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts also offer predictions for helpful metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates to provide further guidance as to what to do with certain tickers. It is important to keep in mind that while stock and sector analysts are specialists, they are also human and can only forecast their beliefs to traders.

Expert Outlook: GDS Holdings Through The Eyes Of 7 Analysts

In the current market session, Arch Capital Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACGL#NASDAQ">ACGL</a>) share price is at $92.85, after a 1.42% drop. Over the past month, the stock went up by 0.37%, but over the past year, it actually fell by 8.91%. With good short-term performance like this, and questionable long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747864822_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Arch Capital Group P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 24.43 in the Insurance industry, Arch Capital Group Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 9.66. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747864822_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Nike Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NKE#NYSE">NKE</a>) shares are trading higher in Wednesday&#8217;s after-hours session following a report that the company will sell on Amazon.com (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45512822/nike-announces-layoffs-in-tech-division-shifts-focus-to-third-party-vendors">first time in six years</a>.

A separate report from <a href="https://frontofficesports.com/nike-raising-prices-on-some-products/">Front Office Sports</a> indicates that Nike also plans to raise prices on some of its products. The price increases will reportedly impact shoe and apparel products above $100. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy NKE Stock</h3>
By now, you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Nike &#8211; be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-stock-trading-platforms">possible trading platforms here.</a> Many will allow you to buy &#8220;fractional shares,&#8221; which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to &#8220;go short&#8221; a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock">stock can be found at this resource.</a> 
Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
NKE Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/NKE">Nike shares</a> are down about 20% year-to-date. The stock got a lift from the Amazon announcement, last up 2.39% in after-hours, trading at $61.40 at the time of publication, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.
