How Zuckerberg’s $1 Salary Makes Him Billions

Описание: Mark Zuckerberg’s wealth jumped by $60 Billion last year, but his official salary remains just $1. But what happens when the ultra-wealthy use their massive stock portfolios as collateral to legally pay zero in income tax? We unpack the brilliant—and highly controversial—mechanics behind the "Buy, Borrow, Die" wealth strategy, and why the Wall Street Journal is warning that this loophole is a massive risk to the U.S. economy ($META).

Plus, Amazon tried to win hearts with a heartwarming Super Bowl commercial featuring a lost puppy and a Ring doorbell. Yet, the ad accidentally sparked a national panic over a dystopian surveillance state. We explain the "cute puppy" PR backfire and the privacy debate that has Wall Street sweating over Amazon's stock ($AMZN).

Finally, Nike was the ultimate sneaker status symbol, but its retail dominance has suddenly cooled off. To fight back against the swoosh, New Balance is capitalizing on an epic retail fumble and executing a radical $19 billion pivot fueled by a single 7:30 AM breakfast meeting.
