All eyes were on Taylor Swift’s left hand when she announced her engagement to Travis Kelce. Along with her stunning yellow gold engagement ring, she sported a diamond-encrusted Cartier Santos Demoiselle in her Instagram post.

He described it as “one of those rare pieces we don’t come across often.” Swift has previously been spotted wearing the watch, including during a virtual appearance at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards and at an AFC championship game where Kelce…
For some tech leaders, Burning Man offers a refreshing alternative to boardrooms. This iconic arts festival has transformed into a gathering spot for tech moguls, celebrities, and models seeking an escape in the Black Rock Desert. Burning Man cultivates an atmosphere of anonymity, allowing public figures to don costumes and go by nicknames, giving them a chance to mingle freely. Notable attendees over the years include Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos. However, these executives are drawn to the event for more than just revelry; many attribute pivotal business insights, including investments and philanthropic ventures, to their experiences at…
After discovering I was pregnant with our first child, my vision for a babymoon shifted. I realized that becoming a mother would mean making some lifestyle changes, including fewer solo trips, particularly in the early days. So, during my second trimester, I decided on a solo babymoon in Grindelwald, located in the breathtaking Jungfrau Region of Switzerland, famous for its stunning natural scenery, scenic alpine trails, and endless outdoor activities. While I cherish exploring new places with my husband, travel isn’t his top priority. As someone who values independence and alone time—something I know will be rare after the baby…
Two sets of firms have traditionally dominated the consulting sector: MBB: McKinsey & Company, Bain & Company, and Boston Consulting Group Big Four: PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, and Ernst & Young. However, a new generation of AI-powered startups is beginning to shake things up by making consulting services more accessible to a wider audience. Many of the founders of these innovative firms come from conventional consulting backgrounds, leveraging their expertise to identify fresh opportunities within the industry. These boutique firms tend to be smaller, often ranging from just a handful to a few hundred employees. They usually focus on specific areas…
I recently sampled pumpkin drinks from Dunkin’, Dutch Bros, and Starbucks to determine which chain truly reigns supreme. Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte, a classic favorite since its debut in 2003, was tasty, but it didn’t steal the show for me. Dutch Bros’ caramel pumpkin drink, however, truly impressed and overshadowed its competitors. With autumn approaching, many eagerly await the annual return of Starbucks’ PSL. This seasonal treat has inspired other coffee chains to create their own versions. I set out to compare Starbucks’ iconic drink against pumpkin-flavored iced options from Dutch Bros and Dunkin’. Here’s how they performed. (Note: This…

Within the current AI boom—often referred to as a bubble, as Sam Altman remarked at a recent dinner—there will undoubtedly be winners and losers. Some companies may rise to prominence similar to Amazon during the dot-com era, while others could falter like Pets.com. In the late 1990s, the stock market experienced unprecedented growth, driven by digital-first companies. However, the dot-com bubble eventually burst, leading to the downfall of companies like Webvan and eToys.com. Despite this, that period also gave birth to some of the tech giants we still rely on today, including Amazon and eBay. OpenAI chairman Bret Taylor sees…
A Miami boat brokerage has filed a lawsuit alleging that yacht buyers are being cornered and overcharged. The suit claims that the owner of several prominent online platforms for buying and selling boats and yachts has established an illegal monopoly in the U.S. marine vessel market.

(doing business as Export Yacht Sales), accuses Boats Group of using coercive tactics to eliminate competition and inflate prices for brokers and dealers. The company operates popular platforms such as Boat Trader, YachtWorld, and boats.com. The lawsuit argues that Boats Group…
When Figma went public at the end of July, it signaled a resurgence in the tech IPO market after a three-year hiatus. Terrence Rohan, an early investor and Figma’s first board director, recognized the company’s potential long before its impressive launch. “You could have easily crafted an MBA-style case study arguing why Figma wouldn’t succeed,” he shared with Business Insider. Concerns included a perceived small market, fierce competition, and challenging profit margins. Yet, Rohan was drawn to the vision and capabilities of the founders, Dylan Field and Evan Wallace. “Dylan and Evan were exceptional and had a clear vision for…
