Do you think that the rich are all businessmen? Wrong. Just take a look at the fortunes of these writers—
J.K. Rowling (author of Harry Potter) ranks first with a net worth of $1 billion, making her the first author in the world to reach this figure. James Patterson and Jim Davis each have $800 million. Danielle Steel, Grant Cardone, and Matt Groening are all at the $600 million level.
Compared to them, you may have heard of Stephen King and Paulo Coelho, each with 500 million, while John Grisham has at least 400 million.
The most ridiculous thing is — Grisham can earn $50-80 million a year ju

Stablecoin Inflows to Ethereum Are Cooling Down — Here's Why It Matters
Ethereum investors, take note: the stablecoin party might be hitting a pause button.
The global stablecoin market just crossed $300 billion in total value, but here's the catch — growth has basically flatlined. Over the last 30 days, the overall market actually dipped by 1.5%. That's a sharp turnaround from Q3 2025, when the sector pumped an extra $44 billion in fresh capital.
Why should ETH holders care? Because roughly half of all stablecoins live on Ethereum — about $165 billion worth — making the network the undisputed

# Market Bounce-Back Friday: These Stocks Are Making Moves
Wall Street shook off Thursday's sell-off with a solid rebound on Friday. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all climbed roughly 1%, signaling investors are betting the Fed might ease up on rate hikes.
**The Big Winners:**
**CAVA (+12%)** — The Mediterranean fast-casual chain bounced back hard after getting hammered by weak Q3 earnings earlier this month. Revenue and earnings both came in softer than expected, and management slashed 2025 guidance citing slower same-store sales. But here's the thing: the stock got cheaper, and some traders s

Netflix Just Pulled the Stock Split Card After 9 Years — Here's What Actually Changes
Netflix announced a 10-for-1 stock split following Q3 earnings, and it's their first split since the mid-2010s. Here's the deal: each share trading at ~$1,100 becomes 10 shares at ~$110 each (your total value stays the same). Sounds pointless? Not really.
Historically, companies that execute stock splits see average gains of 25% in the year following announcement, per Bank of America data — way better than the S&P 500's typical 12%. The real catalyst? Lowering the share price makes it more accessible to retai

You're actually TOO good with money?
Hear me out — if your biggest monthly "expense" is just moving cash into savings, you might be leaving quality of life on the table. Here's the reality check:
**You're hoarding when you could be living** — The 50-30-20 rule exists for a reason: 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings. If you're flipping that and doing 50% savings? That's not discipline, that's anxiety talking.
**Your tax bill is screaming at you** — End of year and the IRS wants thousands? That's actually a sign you're not optimizing. Starting a side business, buying property, going back to schoo

Inflation eats away at your money, so your 5% return is actually only 2%. The current inflation rate in the U.S. is 2.8%, still hovering at a high level.
Want to protect your wallet? These 5 investment types have the strongest inflation resistance:
**TIPS Bonds**: The principal is automatically adjusted based on the CPI, and the Vanguard-related funds rose by 3.4% in 2025. The downside is that it cannot fully cover faster-growing expenses such as rent and healthcare.
**Real Estate Trust ( REITs )**: When landlords raise rents, you can also get a share. From 2021 to 2024, the average annual ren

Waymo's move is quite aggressive. This week, it announced the launch of fully autonomous driving in five cities: Miami, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Orlando, directly expanding the number of operational cities to ten. More importantly, Waymo has completed over 10 million driverless rides, having removed safety drivers back in 2020.
In contrast, Tesla is still testing in Texas, with only 30 robot taxis operating, planning to expand to 500 by the end of the year, while still needing to retain safety drivers until the end of the year. By the time Tesla enters Phoenix next year, Waymo wil
