Michael and Susan Dell are putting $6.25 billion into savings plans called “Trump accounts,” depositing $250 million into the investment accounts of 25 million children. This is one of the biggest direct charitable gift Ever created for Americans, and it dramatically expands a federal program that currently provides $1,000 to babies born between 2025 and 2028.
The Dells money expands eligibility to children up to age 10 in moderate- and low-income ZIP codes. If the program is successful, millions of children could start adulthood with real assets instead of debt.
Michael Dell says this idea reflects how he built his computer empire: cutting out the middlemen, going direct to customers, and expanding rapidly. Here, the “customers” are children, and the product is a financial future.

Cohen plans to spend billions on a hotel and concert venue attached to the stadium, pitching it as an economic boost for Flushing, Queens.
Cohen isn’t the only winner. Donald Trump’s company will reportedly receive $115 million due to a prior licensing deal involving land next to one of the approved casino sites.

Lululemon founder Chip Wilson has again criticized the brand, saying the company is “losing its cool” under its current leadership. He criticized the direction of the brand and said that the “finance-focused CEO” lacked the vision to deliver an exceptional product.
This is not the first time Wilson has publicly criticized the company he helped create. He had previously criticized misguided product choices, cheap collaborations and a move away from Lululemon’s original focus on premium athletic wear.
Some analysts and former employees say Wilson has a point: U.S. sales are declining, and the company’s market value has taken a big hit this year. But defenders of current CEO Kelvin McDonald say profits and store expansion have increased under his watch, and argue the criticism misses the reality of the much larger, more global Lululemon.

Creators and rights advocates worry that once biometric data is inside Google’s ecosystem, future use may be difficult to control. The risk increases as deepfakes spread and a person’s face becomes a valuable digital asset.
